Chapter 249: The Drought Is Really Coming! (1 more)
With the child's Xiang Han, the number of times he has been out of the backyard is even more numerous!
And it turns out that it doesn't seem that Xiang Han needs to go out of the backyard, in order to understand Xiang Han, Guo Jia and others have done everything, just occasionally come to report some big things.
However, soon, Xiang Han couldn't stay in the backyard!
Because summer has officially arrived!
"What is the level of the river now?" Xiang Han asked.
"Lord Qiqi, now the water level of the river has begun to drop, and it has not rained for thirteen days!" Xun Yu said.
He now has to admire Xiang Han's foresight, when he just returned to Jinyang, he was still wondering why Xiang Han had to make so many preparations for drought fighting, and now it seems that this summer may really be a year of great drought!
"We can't be idle in the dry season, not to mention watering the farmland, we have to repair the canals and even the rivers on the edge of the farmland, and the embankments must be heightened and reinforced! Don't be sloppy about this, you know? Xiang Han opened his mouth and admonished.
"Yes!" Several people nodded.
"Well, you can hire people to do this, anyway, in the summer, people don't have anything to do at home! It's the beginning of July, and I'm trying to finish these things by the end of the month, maybe it will rain in August, or maybe the end of August! Xiang Han said in a deep voice.
Rain?
Several people were puzzled and didn't know what Xiang Han meant by this.
"Maybe after the big drought, there will be floods! Or a plague of locusts, or even a plague! Xiang Han said in a deep voice.
I'm not sure, but as things stand, it's likely!
After listening to Xiang Han's words, several people looked dazed, could it really be so serious? These things, no matter what kind of calamity, are very terrible!
"Do a good job of prevention, no matter which one it is, you must do a good job of monitoring, and if there is a sign, tell me immediately!" Xiang Han said.
"Yes!" A few people nodded, and kept this matter in their hearts, although these disasters may not happen, but there is no big mistake in being careful, not to mention, the current drought situation, isn't it exactly what Xiang Han expected?
Of course, Xiang Han did not publish these things in the newspapers, after all, whether it was a locust plague or a plague, it was a fright for the people!
There is no need for Xiang Han to scare the people like this, he just needs to do what he has to do and tell the people about these things at the right time!
As for the conjecture that there will be floods after a long drought, Xiang Han published it in the newspaper, so that the people knew about it, and then took precautions!
……
"My lord, it hasn't rained for fifteen days!" Cheng Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Cao Cao.
"It seems that this matter seems to be said by Zimo!" Cao Cao was a little lucky, fortunately he listened to Xiang Han's words and made relevant preparations, otherwise, he might really be caught off guard!
"Yes, now Xiang Han has published an article in the newspaper again, which means that there will be floods after a long drought!" Cheng Yu said.
"Oh? Show me! Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested!
After reading this article, Cao Cao frowned, could this really be so coincidental? Such a catastrophe has not happened once in a few years, or even decades, but this year it has caught up with all of them?
But if Xiang Han's words are not credible, then what is going on with this drought? What about last winter's snowstorm?
Involuntarily, Cao Cao chose to believe in Xiang Han!
"Go, like Xiang Han, dredge the river, dig the canal, repair the embankment, and do all the flood control work!" Cao Cao opened his mouth and made a decision.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu's thoughts are the same as Cao Cao's, although he has doubts in his heart, he still chooses to believe Xiang Han!
As for Yuan Shao and a few people, they were given a head start by this drought, and now, several people were a little blindfolded, looking forward to the rain every day, but God was not as good as they wanted, and the sun was hung high every day.
As for Xiang Handeng's next article in the newspaper, they don't have the heart to pay attention to it, so what kind of flood control work? There's no way they're going to do it!
It is worth mentioning Sun Jian's Yangzhou, Yangzhou is a treasure land of feng shui, although Sun Jian listened to Xiang Han's words and did some drought prevention work, but Yangzhou is one of the few states and counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty that has not encountered drought!
The other two states are Jingzhou and Yizhou.
As for flood control work, after seeing Xiang Han's article, Sun Jian thought about it again and again, and decided to do what Xiang Han said, after all, Yangzhou is a land of fish and rice, and there are many rivers, if there is really a flood, it is not a joke!
And now Ma Teng doesn't have the heart to deal with Xiang Han anymore, the drought is really coming!
Due to proper prevention, there is basically no loss of crops in all the farmlands under Xiang Han's rule, but there will be special people every day to carry water in special places and water them one by one! This one is a bit of a hassle!
As for the rest of the princes, it would be miserable, Cao Cao's loss was the least, only about one-sixth, and the rest of the princes, the crops in the farmland under them, directly died of a third!
And this is only the result of less than a month of drought!
"Lord, if this drought continues, there will be nothing left of our crops!" Xu You said anxiously.
"yes, there's nothing left! But what? But we can't help it now! Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly.
These days, in order to water the farmland, the water in the small rivers under his rule has been drained! If he could, Yuan Shao would like to use seawater to water his crops!
"Hey, I really regret that I didn't listen to Xiang Han at the beginning, if I had done the same drought-fighting work in the early stage like Xiang Han, we wouldn't be like this now!" Yuan Shao sighed and said.
"yes!" Xu You nodded, didn't say anything, but was complaining in his heart, isn't it the end of Yuan Shao's arbitrariness?
"By the way, does Xiang Han have any new articles published in the "Bingzhou Daily"?" Yuan Shao suddenly remembered, maybe paying attention to this "Bingzhou Daily" is also a good choice!
"This ......" Xu You looked embarrassed, he hadn't read it yet, these days, there have been too many things, and he has forgotten about the "Bingzhou Daily"!
"Go, find me all the "Bingzhou Daily" these days, and see if there is any useful information on it!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xu You nodded.
"Hey!" Yuan Shao suffered a lot, and his heart was bitter, not only because of the current drought, but also because of the loss of people in these days.
Although he repeatedly forbade the people to flee, how could his soldiers and horses stand up to so many people?
Before and after, in the past six months or so, as many as 50,000 people have poured into Jizhou from Qingzhou!
