Qin Hua personally led hundreds of officials to inspect the drought situation in Liang and Liangzhou.

Liangzhou, as Qin Hua's old nest, has been in business for many years, and the drought is not serious, and even before Qin Hua's order is issued, local officials have begun to command the people to fight the drought.

So in general, the damage is not serious.

As Qin Hua's territory that has just arrived, although Han Sui has also started some infrastructure construction when he was undercover, the water conservancy project is almost zero.

Fortunately, Qin Hua sent the Ministry of Industry and the 50,000 troops to support in time, and in less than a month, manual irrigation was already possible in many places.

Nearly 2,000 new wells were added in a month throughout the state, and the number is growing.

Various water conservancy projects are also gradually improving, and at the same time, with the people's manpower irrigation, although some crops still die, most of them are still saved.

During the inspection, Qin Hua also saw an old acquaintance.

"Are you Zhang Ji?"

Qin Hua said in surprise, this person was the one who met Zhang Ji in Gaoling when he fled from Chang'an.

Wasn't he made filial piety an official by Gaoling County? How does it appear at the boundaries of the state? It also became the Taishou of Taiyuan County.

"General, are you surprised? I was promoted to Taiyuan Taishou step by step through the imperial examination, but the general didn't know? ”

Qin Hua smiled awkwardly, if he didn't call Zhang Ji, but Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and the like, Qin Hua might find out at once and summon him personally.

But Qin Hua didn't have any impression of Zhang Ji, so even if Zhang Ji won the champion of that session, Qin Hua didn't summon him, but directly arranged a position by Jia Xu.

In fact, there is another reason for this, because Qin Hua is in urgent need of talents, so his imperial examination is held once a year, and there are several champions in recent years, except for the three bigwigs in Jingzhou that time, the others don't seem to be celebrities, at least for Qin Hua, so Qin Hua didn't pay special attention to him.

What's more, Qin Hua has been fighting abroad in the past few years, and almost all the internal affairs have been handed over to Jia Xu and Xun You.

Although Qin Hua doesn't know what the origin of this Zhang Ji is, his ability is indeed not small, under Zhang Ji's governance, Taiyuan is the closest to the level of the counties in Liangzhou.

This refers to the urban infrastructure and the living conditions of the people, Zhang has fully implemented the policies formulated by Qin Hua, although he has also found some drawbacks of Qin Hua's policies, but the benefits are more, so he wants to gamble to see if Qin Hua can eliminate the drawbacks in these policies one by one.

For example, if you want to build a public school or build a road, you won't see the benefits in the short term, but in the long run, it will affect the future development of the state and the whole country.

Because of Zhang Ji's relationship, Qin Hua stayed in Taiyuan for two days, during which he had a long talk with Zhang Ji.

In the conversation with Zhang Ji, Qin Hua found that this person was indeed very talented, and he had the intention to promote him to serve in Chang'an, but Zhang Ji wanted to stay in Taiyuan for a while, and he wanted to see what Taiyuan County could become under Qin Hua's policy.

In addition, if you are at the local level, you can better understand the actual feelings of the people at the grassroots level, so that you can put forward a plan for revision.

Qin Hua agreed to Zhang Ji's request, he should have focused on internal affairs in recent years, and it is also a good thing to have a talent like Zhang Ji in the local area.

After leaving Taiyuan, Qin Hua went to inspect the remaining counties of Bingzhou.

During this time, he received several pieces of information from Nighthawk, and the Edict finally happened.

Because Cao Cao's majesty was getting stronger and stronger, Emperor Liu Xie became more and more like a puppet emperor, so he ordered his father-in-law Dong Cheng to gather his ministers to overthrow Cao Cao.

Dong Cheng found the Yue Cavalry Captain Chongji, the general Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others to plot to raise troops.

In fact, Dong Cheng also hinted or explicitly wanted General Zuo Liu Bei to also participate, but unfortunately Liu Bei had already seen through the danger and fled to Xinye early.

Dong Cheng's conspiracy had long been closely monitored by Cao Cao, and the army of Chong Ji and others had just left the barracks and was surrounded by Cao Cao's large army, which was over before it began.

The general Dong Cheng was executed, along with his daughter Dong Guiren.

Chongji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others were all killed, and the three tribes were killed.

As for why Dong Cheng, who is considered the mastermind, did not raze the three clans, it is because Dong Cheng is the clansman of the Empress Dowager Dong, the emperor's father-in-law, and even the current Cao Cao does not dare to raze his three clans.

After settling the edict incident, Cao Cao took full control of the government, and he proclaimed himself a great general, and his subordinates were greatly rewarded.

In order to take care of Yuan Shao's emotions, Cao Cao also gave Yuan Shao the position of Taiwei.

As for Qin Hua, there is naturally no benefit, and now that Cao Cao has fallen out with Qin Hua, how can he give Qin Hua any official position.

And now Qin Hua has reached the rank of hussar general, and then Cao Cao will give him the position of general.

However, Qin Hua was more concerned about several other news in the intelligence.

First of all, Dong Bai had already made contact with Liu Xie, Qin Hua never expected that Li Ru, who thought that he had died in Chang'an a long time ago, would actually change his name and surname and enter the palace, and he was quite trusted by Liu Xie.

Of course, Li Ru did not take refuge in Qin Hua, he knew that Dong Zhuo actually had descendants here in Qin Hua, so he expressed his willingness to cooperate with Qin Hua, and with Dong Bai's identity, Li Ru expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with Qin Hua.

Second, Cao Cao finally decided to send troops to Xuzhou, which seems to be true this time.

The third news is that Guo Jia's current position has finally been found.

At the time of the Xuzhou incident, Guo Jia was originally staying in Ju County, and when Cao Cao's army surrounded Ju County, Guo Jia was picked up by Cao Cao.

A resourceful person like Guo Jia, Cao Cao naturally wants to take it for his own use. However, Guo Jia was not interested in changing the court, so Cao Cao directly imprisoned him.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were friends, and Xi Zhicai, who was sick, wanted to do one more thing for Cao Cao, so he asked Cao Cao to send Guo Jia to him, and he would persuade Guo Jia.

Since not many people know about this matter, even Nighthawk did not know Guo Jia's whereabouts until today.

"Zilong, order the troops to pack their bags, and we will return to Chang'an tomorrow."

Qin Hua decided to return to Chang'an immediately and discuss with Jia Xu and others about Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou.

The Xuzhou incident was not all bad, Zhao Yun, who had always been reluctant to join Qin Hua's command, was actually willing to join Qin Hua's command after this incident.

It turned out that Zhao Yun didn't despise the schemes of Cao Cao and others, thinking that this was too unkind, and it seemed that he found that Qin Hua was not bad during this time with Qin Hua, so he decided to stay by Qin Hua's side temporarily.

Qin Hua was able to "cultivate a relationship" with Zhao Yun, so he kept him by his side as the chief of the guard.
