The weather is getting hotter. It hasn't rained since the crossing.

Even the small lake outside Qinjiazhuang is getting thinner and thinner, and the bottom of the lake is about to be exposed.

Fortunately, Qinjiazhuang's crops rely on river water and can be irrigated.

Although production may be reduced this year, it is not yet extinct.

But in other places, where there are no rivers, the crops are dried up by the sea.

In these areas, crops will be cut out this year.

There is a great drought in Guanzhong, and many people are about to run out of food at home.

And the grain in the field has been scorched, and it is clear that this year's harvest is about to be cut off.

I can't live this day anymore.

If you continue to stay at home, you will starve to death.

As a result, many families in Guanzhong brought with them the only food they had at home.

dragged their families with them, and began to flee one after another.

During the Tang Dynasty, the management of the population was relatively much more lenient than that of the Qin Dynasty.

But when you go out, you still need to lead the way.

It is equivalent to the ID card of the next generation.

Moreover, for ordinary people, it is easy not to go out without a valid reason.

Now, there is a mass exodus of the people.

The local government did not dare to stop it.

Because there is no surplus food in the local government.

Leaving these people behind, they can only watch at home and wait for death.

Once the popular uprising is provoked, the official hat on their heads may not be able to be saved.

These local officials could only maintain order as much as possible, and at the same time write to the imperial court and ask for help from the imperial court.

Soon, Li Shimin received a report from local officials.

After watching the recital, Li Shimin frowned, and then summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Dai Zhou and other important ministers to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, Aiqing, you all know about the drought in Guanzhong. Now let's talk about how to help the disaster. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, there is a great drought in Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong have fled one after another. The minister thought that first of all, it was necessary to control the people and prevent them from wandering. Because of the displacement, it will cause turmoil in other states and counties. ”

On the other hand, the imperial court sent ministers to provide disaster relief. Calm the people's hearts and stabilize order. ”

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say: "The words of the eldest grandson are the words of a certain country in the old city!" However, the most important thing now is whether the household department has so much food for disaster relief. ”

After the two finished speaking, everyone looked at the head of the household.

Dai Xuan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, there is not much grain left in the main warehouse of the household department, which is not enough for disaster relief!" ”

Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, the population is sparse, and there is a serious shortage of food.

In the granary, there is not much grain stored at all.

Once there is a natural disaster, it will be a huge challenge to the imperial court.

Hearing the news, everyone's faces couldn't help but become ugly.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

If there is no food, what can be used for disaster relief?

At this time, Dai Xuan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the old minister has an idea, we can open a righteous warehouse." ”

"Yoshikura accepts donations of grain from merchants, people, officials, etc. Then all this food will be used for disaster relief! ”

After Dai Xuan finished speaking, Du Ruhui nodded approvingly: "Master Dai's method is a good idea!" ”

"However, many people have now fled from their homes. For these people, they also need to be properly settled! ”

The minister thought that these people wanted the state capitals to set up porridge sheds for disaster relief. Reassure the people and prevent them from making trouble. ”

Hearing the words of several important ministers, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded.

Several of his ministers were ministers who sought the country.

But helplessly, now the family background of the imperial court is shallow.

Li Shimin only hopes that this drought will pass sooner.

……

Now, the refugees in Guanzhong have fled one after another.

Recently, there have been refugees, close to Chang'an City.

However, these refugees are allowed to enter Chang'an City.

The imperial court set up a porridge shed outside Chang'an City for disaster relief.

There are also some wealthy families in Chang'an City, who will also set up porridge sheds.

Qin Chuan naturally heard of these things.

Qin Chuan has some understanding of the history of the early Tang Dynasty.

In his memory, the first few years of Zhenguan can really be said to be full of disasters and difficulties.

Among them, there is this time the great drought in Guanzhong.

For the drought, Qinchuan does not have a good solution.

Qin Chuan remembered that some of his old-timers had used the method of drilling wells to survive the drought.

In this regard, Qin Chuan has only hehe.

When there was a great drought, the river dried up, and there was not even enough water in the well to eat.

How deep do you have to dig in the ground to get water?

Not to mention, hundreds of thousands of wells to be drilled?

Therefore, this method can only YY once, and it will not work at all.

Now all Qin Chuan can do is to set up a porridge shed outside the city and give alms to the victims every day.

Coincidentally, Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, also set up a porridge shed in the west of the city.

And next to the porridge shed set up in Qinjiazhuang.

When the porridge is given, Xiaocao and Li Lizhi will appear.

The two of them are becoming more and more familiar.

Recently, Qin Chuan has been busy building a glass factory, but he has never been to the porridge shed.

The building of the glass factory has been completed.

The raw material is sand, and it is everywhere.

The problem now is to start building the stove.

During the Tang Dynasty, the temperature of the iron-making furnace could not be raised.

As a result, they can't make good steel.

For firing glass, a high-temperature furnace is also required.

The existing stoves in the Tang Dynasty could not meet this high temperature.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan passed the 999 level of a knife and upgraded the glass manufacturing level.

Making a stove now is not too challenging for him.

Under the guidance of Li Su, after a few days, the furnace was successfully manufactured.

Next, it's time to make the mold.

These molds, again, are not easy to make.

Therefore, for those who obviously don't have a gold finger, but can make glass from the memory in their heads, I admire them very much.

Because now, his glass making level has been raised to level 999.

It's not easy to make a glass mold.

After the glass mold is finally made.

Qin Chuan found out that in the past few days, it seems that Xiaocao has been neglected.

She seemed a little upset.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but find Xiaocao, and found that Xiaocao was lying on her small recliner in a daze.

Qin Chuan squatted down with a smile and asked Xiaocao, "Xiaocao, what are you thinking?" ”

Xiaocao looked at Qin Chuan and said melancholy: "Dad, those disaster victims, so pitiful! I want to do something for them, but I can't do anything, I'm useless! ”
