Chapter 103: The Great Drought

In the following period, Fang Xu carried out science popularization in a planned manner.

Naturally, it is to find a special teacher to write down what you know.

In order to be able to popularize science, so that the people below can better receive these educations.

Secondly, the burden on Fang Xu's body is also a lot heavier now, although Du Liang handed over 10,000 soldiers to himself.

But Fang Xu still chose to send five thousand elite soldiers to guard Nanjun, of course, they were all at the disposal of Du Liang.

This was also to repay Du Liang's trust in him, and secondly, the remaining five thousand elite soldiers were the only ones that Fang Xu could deploy now.

Now Fang Xu was not in a hurry to expand his territory, after all, Fang Xu was very clear.

If you can't stabilize the two counties of Nanjun and Bianzhou, you won't be able to lay a solid foundation.

It was completely inconvenient for his next actions, at least in what Fang Xu and Du Liang felt.

Because of this, Fang Xu and Du Liang did not focus on the affairs of the other ten counties.

Of course, what these horse bandits in Nanjun are doing now is also within Fang Xu's control.

At least these horse bandits are much more reliable than the horse bandits in Bianzhou County, and at the moment, Xu is dealing with these official documents in front of him.

Now that Fang Xu is the county guard, he naturally wants to do something practical for the people of Bianzhou.

This can make the people of Bianzhou more convinced that they are for their good, and they can also consolidate their position in their hearts.

Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, this truth Fang Xu is in mind.

The words of those children of the family who were let go before, Fang Xu asked them to obey Du Liang's dispatch.

Naturally, if Du Liang asked them to do something, they would also do something.

I have to say that for the children of the family.

Du Liang was indeed better at it than Fang Xu, and Fang Xu still had a headache before.

The headache naturally means that he doesn't know how to make these children of the family obedient, but now Du Liang is using a little means.

These children of the family are obedient, which really gave Fang Xu a lot of surprises.

But right now, Fang Xu and Du Liang both had some headaches.

Because of this period of time, there was a severe drought in the south, and there has been no half drop of rain for half a month.

This has led to the drying up of rivers in many places, and even the death of grain wilts.

The people suddenly had no livelihood as a people, and even for a little spring water, they were able to beat up and beat the crowd.

Although it is said that it can be suppressed, in the eyes of Fang Xu and Du Liang.

This was never a solution, and at this moment, Du Liang was sitting in Fang Xu's study.

Keep fanning yourself, even if your heart is calm and naturally cool, you can't calm down now.

"What now?! It hasn't rained for half a month, and the people can't hold it anymore. Du Liang said with a sad face.

It is not without droughts in the south, according to the dossier.

At that time, there were two major droughts and one minor drought in the south.

It all happened in the course of a year, and almost a thousand people died.

But the court didn't say a word of greeting, which made Fang Xu a little speechless.

According to the dossier, in fact, during the first small drought, officials spontaneously chose to build water towers.

But the result?! Naturally, he chose to give up halfway.

After all, the time of the small drought was very short, and it passed quickly, that is, to make these officials feel.

It's a waste of time to do it yourself now, okay?! And who wants to do such a thankless thing?!

No matter how well you do, the court itself has not settled down at this moment.

Who cares how you are in the South now?! And thousands of people died, in the eyes of these princes in the court, they were nothing at all.

This is when these officials abandoned the plan for the water tower, and the second and third major droughts were born.

When you think about this plan, who will work for them on a hot day?!

There is already no water in itself, if you sweat in a large area.

Dehydration will occur, and the final outcome will naturally be death.

In addition to the fact that the former officials themselves were not much of a deterrent in the mouths of the people.

Naturally, there is no so-called cohesion, but Fang Xu didn't expect to be bumped into by himself now.

Even in Fang Xu's opinion, during this period of time, he really had too many things to worry about.

And now it's all about the weather, what can I do?! There's no way you can predict it, right?!

But now is not the time to talk about these things, as Du Liang said, the following Baixin can no longer be suppressed.

If it weren't for Fang Xu's appearance, this matter might have been suppressed a long time ago.

"The only way to save the water now is to choose to divert water." Fang Xu frowned and looked at the map in front of him and said.

On the opposite side of a mountain across the county of Bianzhou, there is actually an abundance of water resources.

Or maybe it's because it's so abundant that it basically leads to a flood every year.

It's a problem in itself, but if you can solve another problem with one problem now.

So isn't that a good idea?! And after Du Liang heard Fang Xu's words.

Naturally, I have heard that Du Liang is in charge of the affairs of Nanjun at the moment.

Of course, he has some understanding of things around here, and Du Liang also understands that as long as it rains.

Especially when it rains heavily, flooding occurs in the area, so there are very few people living in it now.

It's understandable to think about it, after all, who can afford a flood disaster five miles away from the mountains?!

But right now, what Fang Xu was thinking about was indeed very good.

If he could really do it, Fang Xu would have saved a lot of lives, and even saved a lot of places.

Two problems were solved at once, but what is the most immediate problem in front of us now?!

So how is this water transported?! It is obviously impossible to do it if it were to rely on human power.

Now not to mention how much each person can transport at a time, there are only a few prime people in Nanjun and Bianzhou counties.

Otherwise, Fang Xu wouldn't have had a headache about the troops in the first place, right?!

Manpower is always limited, but the people who need water are infinite, okay?!

So at present, how to transport this spring water has become the most serious problem at present.

If this problem can be solved, then it will be enough to solve the remaining problems.
