July.

Luoyang Wushuang Fuzhong.

"This ...... How is this possible?! How could Mende do such a thing? And there's no reason at all! After Li Yi heard Guo Jia's report, he immediately stood up in shock.

And Xun Yu and the others on the side also looked at Guo Jia with a shocked face, obviously not believing their ears. There's no way, this kind of thing is too shocking, you must know that even Dong Zhuo in the past didn't dare to slaughter the people so bluntly. And...... The one who committed such things was a friend of his father-in-law, and even Cao Cao, who was still highly respected when he was mentioned many times.

"Thinking about it, it was to deter the local defenders of Xuzhou, as long as they were afraid, General Cao's troops could naturally defeat them easily. After all, last year, General Cao had to withdraw because of a stalemate with the defenders of Xuzhou for nearly half a year, which eventually led to the exhaustion of food. Moreover, this can also be used to deter local families and make them defect to the battle......" Guo Jia said lightly, deducing the reason from the result is not too difficult for him.

"Alas, I don't know if Gongda and the others know, if they know but don't stop it, it's really ......" Xun Yu sighed.

"No matter if there are thousands of reasons, but you shouldn't do such an angry thing......" Xu Shu also shook his head again and again.

Everyone condemned Cao Cao's unconscionable behavior, and at the same time expressed sympathy for the people of Xuzhou.

And Li Yi over there has been silent, and only after a long time did he sigh helplessly, "Alas, I really can't imagine that Meng De would do such a thing......"

Speaking of which, Li Yi is naturally not unclear about Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, after all, this is a big or biggest stain in Cao Cao's life.

However, in his previous life, Li Yi was very puzzled by this, because he couldn't figure out why Cao Cao did such a thing, could it be that slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people could bring him any great benefits?

And after coming to this era, Li Yi became even more determined in this idea. Because he knew more about Cao Cao than in his previous life, he thought that Cao Cao would not be able to do such a thing at all.

But now, everything that happened in reality slapped Li Yi's face hard, and Cao Cao really committed such a sin that lost his conscience. Although the number of hundreds of thousands may not be true, it is undeniable that the matter of slaughtering Tancheng is undeniable.

At this moment, Li Yi's heart was full of indescribable complexity, sympathy for the people of Xuzhou, helplessness for Cao Cao to commit such crimes, and doubts about why Cao Cao became so much. Even, in Li Yi's heart at this time, Cao Cao's originally incomparably clear figure began to become blurry and unfamiliar.

Thinking about it, Li Yi's mood became more and more mixed, and after a while, he stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Alas, I'll go out for a walk, and I'll leave the matter here to you for the time being." ”

When Li Yi left, the hall suddenly fell into silence. Suddenly, a cold snort sounded, "Hmph, for the sake of a mere Xuzhou, I have to resort to this kind ......of means, it seems that Cao Mengde is nothing more than that, and he praises him when he is fair" Guo Jia's tone was quite disdainful, obviously very disdainful of Cao Cao's approach.

Hearing this, Xun Yu also sighed again, "In the past, when I went to Yingchuan, I listened to Gongda's words, and Cao Mengde is a rare master in the world. But now it seems that Cao Mengde may really have some talent, but in any case, it is really not the work of the Lord to do this angry thing! ”

"Humph! In my opinion, Cao Mengde may not have any talent at all! I heard my father say that when Cao Mengde was crusading against the Yellow Turban in the past, if it wasn't for the lord's father-in-law...... Zhu Hao also kept echoing.

Obviously, with Li Yi's departure, everyone's scruples have completely disappeared. However, it seems that it will take a long time to deal with all kinds of government affairs in their hands.

On the other hand, Li Yi, who left the council hall, returned directly to the inner courtyard, this irritable mood made Li Yi subconsciously choose to find his wife and concubine, because when he was with them, Li Yi would only feel happy and peaceful.

didn't take two steps, and saw Cai Yan and other women teasing Li Can, who was five months old. I have to say that as Li Yi's only daughter today, Li Can is not only favored by Li Yi, but Cai Yan and other women also regard her as a pearl in their palms. I was really afraid of melting in my mouth, and I was afraid of falling in the palm of my hand. Not to mention Xiaobai, who has always been a woman over a man, is even hunkering around Li Can all day long.

Seeing Li Yi's figure, all the women came up laughing and chattering about today's interesting things. But in the middle of speaking, they suddenly stopped, because they noticed that Li Yi's expression seemed to be something wrong.

"Gentleman, did something happen?" Cai Yan asked softly.

“…… Nothing, just other things. Li Yi smiled, very reluctantly.

Seeing this, Cai Yan didn't ask any more, just looked at Li Yi gently and said, "In that case, why don't Yan'er play a song for you?" ”

"Well, it's true that I haven't appreciated Yan'er's piano skills for a long time." Li Yi smiled, then walked to the rocking chair and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Xiaobai came to Li Yi's side and rubbed his huge head on Li Yi's lap.

"Xiaobai, you seem to be getting fatter and fatter~" Seeing its appearance, Li Yi's mood improved slightly, and he couldn't help but quip. But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi thought of something, and smiled again, "Speaking of which, you should be about twenty years old, right?" It should be called Lao Bai~"

One sentence immediately attracted Xiaobai's protests, could it really understand Li Yi's words? However, for Xiaobai to be so smart and humane, Li Yi has long given up research. After all, he couldn't study anything, and Xiaobai's terrifying body type, and the appearance that he hadn't seen aging for so many years, was not an ordinary tiger no matter how he looked at it.

Sometimes Li Yi wondered if this Xiaobai was the White Tiger Star in the sky who came to help him unify the world. After all, after crossing over, he hasn't gotten any golden finger yet, and it seems natural that a star has come to protect him?

Thinking of this, Li Yi once again glanced at Xiaobai, who was lying beside him and was coquettish, and suddenly saw its stupid and cute face and increasingly fat body......

"Alas, if the White Tiger Star is like this......" Li Yi suddenly felt that what he had just thought was a serious insult to the many stars in the sky.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a melodious piano sound came, which suddenly made Li Yi stop all his thoughts. He slowly lay down and listened quietly to Cai Yan's beautiful piano sound, this song seemed to be a gurgling stream, and it was like a gentle breeze blowing slowly, taking away the boredom in his heart when passing through Li Yi's heart.

At this time, in Li Yi's mind, the picture of Cao Cao when he used to discuss the yellow scarf with him kept resurfacing, and the youthful appearance finally became blurred, and after a while, it was completely replaced by another picture. I saw that in the picture, a high-spirited peerless hero was standing on top of the Mountain of Blood Corpses and looking at the heaven and earth in the distance.

"Perhaps, this is troubled times, right? For the sake of interests, for survival, for their own ambitions, they can only keep changing...... Mengde is like this, and Xuande will become like this after all. If Wentai is still there, it will be the same......" Li Yi looked at the sky and thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth, "Speaking of which, why shouldn't I be like this myself?" How can people, with the change of status, not change? ”

The next day, Li Yi completely recovered and continued to devote himself to busy government affairs, as for Xun Yu and others, the recovery was faster. Although the incident in Xuzhou is appalling, it happened in the distant Xuzhou after all, and compared to this incident, the various things around them are undoubtedly what they really need to pay attention to.

Mid-July.

"My lord, this is news from all over the world. According to the news, Sili and the surrounding area have not had rain for several months. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will ......" Xun Yu presented a stack of scrolls to Li Yi with a solemn face, and Li Yi didn't say much about it, just took it and kept looking at it.

After a long while, Li Yicai sighed heavily, "The drought is so serious, and if it goes on like this, I don't know how many people will die......

Act of God...... Since Li Yi came to this era, he is no longer familiar with this term, because almost every year, he can hear that a large-scale natural disaster breaks out in a certain place, and then all kinds of rebels and thieves are in rebellion...... This is the so-called frequent occurrence of natural disasters, and man-made disasters will occur.

Therefore, since Li Yi became the pastor of the state, he has been committed to preventing the outbreak of these natural disasters. It's just that when manpower is finally exhausted, let alone compared with the sky? Over the years, the only natural disaster that Li Yi has completely eliminated is the locust plague.

Well...... By the way, today's locust plague has become a festival that all the people under Li Yi's rule are looking forward to, and once it appears, it must be all men, women and children who go out to enjoy the food that God has given them......

In this way, the order will be passed on, and the work of opening canals and draining water will be ordered to be speeded up in all localities, and at the same time, the matter of digging well water in various places should also be paid attention to! Try to ensure that ten people can have a well water reference! Also, the construction of keel waterwheels in various places must also be accelerated! As long as Luoshui can be introduced to various places, the situation will definitely improve a lot! Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"If you don't have enough manpower, let the local troops help! The rest can be postponed for the time being! Li Yi said in a serious tone, "At the same time, let the officials in various places be prepared, and once the drought is so serious that the people have no food to eat, they will immediately open warehouses and release grain!" ”

"No!" Xun Yu replied respectfully when he heard this.

"In addition, let all localities report on the drought situation once a month, and tell them that it is absolutely not perfunctory, that everything must be done in detail, and that they must go to the scene to check it out! If you dare to cheat and cheat, once I know it, no matter what credit he has made before, I will not be forgiven! Li Yi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"No!"

"Also, Bonghyo, you asked the shadow department in the surrounding area to pay close attention to the local situation, especially Jing Zhao Yin and Youfu Feng! Na Ma Teng did not repair the internal affairs, and even connived at the Liangzhou soldiers to wantonly plunder the place, once the drought broke out, I am afraid that a large number of refugees will appear. Li Yi turned his head to look at Guo Jia and commanded.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Guo Jia suddenly showed a hesitant expression, "Does the lord want to accept those refugees?" Although after a long period of recuperation over the years, there is a lot of surplus grain in the local area, and there is enough food in the city for the consumption of 100,000 troops in a year. However, if a large number of refugees are accepted, it will not only affect the operation of the division and even the annexation of the state, but even the soldiers' salaries will also be affected......

Hearing this, Xun Yu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back. Although from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't agree with Guo Jia's words, but from a rational point of view, he couldn't oppose it. Just like in the past, in order to accept the 500,000 refugees, Li Yi not only stopped the offensive of the good situation, but almost all the territories under his rule were mobilized, constantly delivering food and everything needed to Luoyang. And now, once a drought breaks out, Li Yi's rule will definitely be affected by the same huge impact, and if he accepts refugees in this case......

"Do as I say! People, if you eat less, you won't die, but if you don't eat, you'll definitely die! Ten people saving a mouthful of food is enough for one person to live one more day! Hearing this, Li Yi looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice, but then, a hint of ridicule appeared on his face, "And in this way, in terms of the current situation in the territory under his rule, it is still very easy~ After all, how many people are there in Sanfu today?" And how many people are saved today, tomorrow will be rewarded exponentially~"

"The Lord's benevolence and love for the people is really rare in the world." When Xun Yu heard this, he sighed with admiration, and at the same time unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Li Yi agrees with Guo Jia's words, he has nothing to say, and in the face of natural disasters, he should give priority to self-protection. But Li Yi still did it, although everything has not happened yet, but with Li Yi's identity, it is naturally impossible not to honor what he said.

"Alright, that's it." Li Yi smiled when he heard this, "And maybe it will start raining in two days?" Who can guess God's temper~"

"Lord, do you need to send someone to pray for rain in the heavens?" Hearing Li Yi's words, Xun Yu asked.

"Uh......" Hearing Xun Yu's words, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he still nodded. Since the crossing, Li Yi has been unable to ignore these strange things like he did in his previous life.

"Yuan Zhi, you are responsible for this matter, just ask my uncle to ask for rain." Li Yi looked at Xu Shu and said in a deep voice. For this kind of thing, you have to ask for a respectable person, of course, it is obviously better for Li Yi to ask for it in person. It's just that Li Yi was afraid that he would not be able to maintain his respect for the gods, so he simply asked Cai Yong to come forward. And Li Yi is really unfamiliar with this aspect of things.

After speaking, Li Yi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered, "Pass my order to Feng Xian and Gongzhi and others, let them take precautions!" Although it is unlikely, if Namatten takes the opportunity to attack, it will also be a troublesome thing. ”

"No!"
