Xue Yu wrote a note to the emperor. He hopes that the emperor can return to the court to deal with the government affairs, if the border is really inseparable from him, can he ask the emperor to return to Beijing to sit in the town.

Xue Yu was annoyed by the affairs of the imperial court, starting from the time he sent people to check the situation in various places, to the quarrel in the main hall, but to no avail for more than a month. Xue Yu especially misses the Emperor Taishang at this moment, and is extremely envious of Zhu Biao. Xue Yu was worried about the people of Limin, and casually asked Xue Dongwei what he thought during the meal, after all, this matter was discovered by his grandson.

After the meal, Xue Dongwei moved all the information that Li Qing asked him to check in front of Xue Yu, and now Qin Tianjian has proved that this year's year is not good, and there will be a big drought. The only thing that can be done now is to dispatch manpower from all over the country and take emergency measures before the catastrophe comes. The only thing Xue Yu feels happy about now is his grandson Xue Dongwei, who has worked hard since he came back from Lin'an County. This incident is also thanks to Sun Tzu's reminder, otherwise he would have missed the people of Limin, and he would have died in ten thousand ways.

The materials prepared by Xue Dongwei are very complete, and all the droughts in the past 100 years have been clearly investigated by him, and Xue Dongwei has also sorted out the methods of the imperial court for each drought in the past 100 years and the results of each drought. The extent and damage of each drought are listed separately, and the most effective methods are noted.

The next day, Xue Yu moved those materials to the main hall, and all the officials read them in the main hall. In the evening, the Zhongshu Province made a preliminary plan, and the Menxia Province approved it for the first time in half a month. Xue Yu asked them to go back and draw up a detailed charter before issuing it.

The court said that the Tang Dynasty could have this person as the prime minister, which was the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the society.

The New Year has arrived, and the people in Li Qing's realm are still busy during the day, and there is no New Year's atmosphere in the entire realm. The people who went out to buy have not come back yet, and Li Qing specially asked people to prepare stewed meat and distribute it to each family, which can be regarded as a New Year for everyone. Only those eight families did not, and now they vaguely felt that a great drought was really coming.

The Zhang family was scared, and found Zhang Cheng there to express that they wanted to get through the difficulties with Li Qing and others. Zhang Cheng said that there was nothing he could do, Li Qing said it very clearly at the beginning, he only gave them three days to think about it, and it didn't matter if he lived or died after three days. The five families of the Zhang family began to move around, wanting more people to help them make Li Qing nod. After Li Qing found out, he asked Zhang Cheng to take some people from Zhangjia Village to leave Li Qing's territory and go out to pick up the people who went to various places to buy.

After the year, the imperial court's decree had reached two provinces and seventy-two states, and all localities began to dig wells and store grain. Every household began to store water and grain. Food and water are starting to run tight everywhere.

The first to come back was Wu Shi, he was Li Qing's brainless fan, and all Li Qing's orders were executed, Li Qing made him have to come back within three months, and he came back on time in two and a half months. Li Qing asked everyone to express their gratitude to their team, thank them for their hard work to go out to buy, and thank them for returning as scheduled according to the order.

The second batch came back Zheng Lin and Li Gui, and Li Qing still gave everyone a warm welcome and thanks.

The third group of people who came back were Li Geng and Sanwang, Li Qing not only expressed his concern about their delay in returning, but also welcomed and thanked everyone.

The last team was led by Sixi, and it was half a month after he returned to Li Qing's realm after the start of spring ploughing. He went to Huainan Province, where some people who had no food had already begun to flee. On their way back, they met a group of refugees, who looted food and grass. Fortunately, Li Qing asked Zhang Cheng to bring someone to answer in advance, so that no one died.

After Sixi brought people back, Li Qing asked about the whole process on the road. At first, they planned to come back on time, because they met a grain merchant who went north, Sixi decided to stay and collect grain, Sixi felt that they collected the most, and they would be reused by Li Qing in the future.

In Li Qing's realm, no matter what, Li Qing's important things are to discuss with Wu Tian, Zhang Cheng, and Li Ren. Even Wu Shi, Li Geng, and Zheng Lin are more important than what the three brothers did. Sanniang always asked him to take care of more things in front of him, and the family business could not be given to outsiders in the future, it was inherited by the Li family, Zhang Cheng was just an aunt, and Wu Tian was an outsider.

So when someone proposed to collect more grain, Sixi was tempted. However, there were still a few people who objected, one of whom was named Li Bin, who wrote a letter back to Li Qing's territory after seeing that the opposition was useless, and the letter was intercepted by Zhang Cheng, who picked up people everywhere.

After Zhang Cheng saw the letter, he hurriedly led someone to Huainan Road to answer. At the boundary between Henan Province and Huainan Province, Zhang Cheng and others met Sixi and his party who were fighting against refugees. Thanks to Li Bin's contact along the way, Zhang Cheng was able to lead people to find them.

After Li Qing learned what had happened, he was not angry and did not do any punishment. Even Wang Wensheng, who followed Li Qing every day, was scared when he saw such a calm Li Qing. Is this a prelude to a storm?

Li Qing instructed people to go into the city and ask the doctor of the medical hall to come over, and asked him to inquire if any medical center was willing to stay in Li Qing's territory. If there is an original intention, all the family members of the medical center will take it, and Li Qing will send the house and sign the long-term contract.

Li Qing also personally brought gifts, went to see the injured people, and fulfilled the terms of the contract. After they recovered from their injuries, the few people who opposed Sixi's original decision were all reused, especially Li Bin. Those who encouraged Sixi to stay and collect grain were placed in unimportant positions. Sixi was completely forgotten by Li Qing, and Li Qing wanted to give the most severe punishment to those who did not care about the life or death of others for their own selfishness.

The construction of the village on the mountain was completed, and Li Qing asked all the old people and children to move to Li Qingshan to live. The sentry post of the cottage was guarded by a young militia composed of children led by Wu Shi. Li Zhai was led by Sanwang. Counting the gates around Li Qing's land boundary, there are a total of four places that need to be guarded. A bridge was erected over the river, and the sentry post on the bridge was led by Wu Tian; The tower at the main gate of Li Qing's land boundary was guarded by Wang Wensheng and Li Ren, and Li Ren was the main one. The remaining two are on the outside of Zhangjia Village and Wujia Village, although there are normally no people there, but Li Qing is afraid that in case, those two places will be guarded by Li Geng and Zheng Lin.

Because the patriarch Zhang proposed to cooperate with Li Qing to fight the drought, the eight families hugged together and wanted to argue with Li Qing, Li Qing was afraid that Zhang Cheng would be difficult to do, so he let Zhang Cheng go to the county seat, Zhang Cheng lived in the county office, and discussed follow-up cooperation with the county order.

Now that the drought has begun, the county order of Lin'an County has been severely praised by Shangfeng because of the precautions made in advance and the submission of the letter. If Lin'an County can survive this time, he will be promoted by at least two ranks. The county commander is very grateful to Li Qing, and he also knows that this drought, Lin'an County has to rely on Li Qing's territory. So they warmly welcomed Zhang Cheng and said that they were willing to listen to Li Qing's instructions and do things.

Since the beginning of spring, there has not been a single rain, and since April, refugees from other villages have taken refuge in Lin'an County. Lin'an County is a lower-middle-class county with a population of about 1,200 households. There are eight villages under the governance of Lin'an County, except for the three villages in the boundary of Li Qing, and the other five villages have refugees who have come to Lin'an County for refuge one after another.
