Today's Yanzhou is quite stable, although there are small fights around, but it is harmless.

After the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao's territory expanded a lot, but because of Lu Bu's sneak attack, a lot of vitality was damaged.

As a result, some of them were repaired because of a real estate fever brought up by Chu Feng, those dilapidated houses were gone, some people who were begging were gone, and all the displaced people who fled from other places were arranged to local villages.

Among these displaced people, except for Qingzhou, there are the most in Guanzhong.

Because Guanzhong is still in chaos, Dong Zhuo's old department is still fighting for Emperor Liu Xie.

Several people are fighting for each other, all of them want to control the emperor in their own hands, but they don't know that the princes outside have grown stronger, and they are slowly weakening because of the competition for the emperor.

None of the powerful princes put the emperor and Guo Li and others in their eyes, and for some people, they can develop better without the emperor.

For example, Yuan Shu never cared about the life or death of the emperor, for him, the emperor was a stone pressing on his head.

If the stone is not removed, he will not have a day to turn over.

Among the princes who have tasted independence, which one is willing to let the emperor raise himself and bow down to the emperor?

In the past, Yuan Shao may have been, because he had promoted Liu Yu as the emperor at the beginning, and removed the little emperor who was supported by Dong Zhuo in the pass.

Authentic royal family identity to be this emperor, ordinary people have nothing to say, when the time comes, everyone can support Liu Yu to become the new emperor, and then conquer the world.

Although Yuan Shao also has the mind of worrying about the Han, the most important thing is from the dragon's work, or because he is now the pastor of Jizhou, and he is also the most powerful among the princes, and his reputation is also relatively high.

When he supported the new emperor, he was at least under one person and above ten thousand.

In this way, he can be regarded as the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty, and maybe when Liu Yu dies in the future, he will be able to support a little emperor again, so as to control the world.

The idea is good, but unfortunately, people don't agree, who can't see such thoughts.

Liu Yu is a smart person, so he can naturally see Yuan Shao's careful thinking, he is old, he doesn't want to toss anymore, and he still wants to keep a good reputation.

Yuan Shao, who was unable to support Liu Yu, later developed and expanded, and his mind was no longer simple.

The emperor, the virtuous live in it.

Everyone is actively developing their own territory, where they can take care of the emperor who is trapped in the pass, and can only let him be taken away by others there.

It also caused frequent wars and turmoil in the land of Guanzhong, and those people whose homes were destroyed, heard that Cao Cao of Yanzhou City loved the people like a son, and was very good to the people, as long as the people who went there could live a good life, they also dragged their families to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao occupied a large place, so he naturally hoped that more people would come to him, whether it was a military commander or a homeless person.

Because it's not enough to have land, it's useless to have more land, there are no people, these lands are just wasteland, and without people, these lands can't be kept.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not refuse to come to those who were homeless.

Under Cao Cao's strength, those families who were just for fame and fortune wanted to use charitable donations to make a good reputation.

Now they are all forced by Cao Cao to make charitable donations, and every time they organize, they will inform those families, which can be regarded as a greeting and a wake-up call.

When encountering a family that does not cooperate, there is only waiting for Cao Cao's punishment.

Cao Cao needs the support of the family, and he doesn't dare to go head-to-head with the family, but as the lord of Yanzhou, there are some things he does, as long as it is not excessive, no one will dare to really resist.

It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the heavens were not beautiful.

Since June, there has not been a drop of rain in Yanzhou, let alone Yanzhou, and even in other places, there has been no rain.

The weather is hot and irritable, and the sun is so hot that some people's skin is directly burned, that is, fire poison.

There is no place where you can cool off for a while, even under the shade of a tree.

People don't stand below for a while, and they sweat profusely.

A very widespread drought is coming, and at this point, a small natural disaster can have a huge impact, let alone a very widespread drought.

In the whole Central Plains, there are very few places where it rains, and others say that summer rain is not precious, and spring rain is like oil.

But when there is not a drop of rain in the summer, it is not the summer rain like a waterfall, and the spring rain like oil.

Yanzhou, which has received a lot of people, thought that there would be a good harvest, and also thought that it would be able to recover.

But now it seems that it is a burden.

Because there was no rain, because of the drought, most of the crops in the fields died of drought.

This makes the only remaining grain very precious, but it is stored for war and cannot be taken out easily.

This grain is precious, so it can't be wasted, and the wine workshop is out of production, even if it is a fine wine like Baiyunbian.

Cao Cao and the order that the wine workshop should not continue to make wine and waste food, which also made many people unable to drink to Baiyunbian anymore.

And the only remaining white clouds have become very precious wines.

In the market, a jar of white clouds can be sold for a sky-high price.

As long as he no longer brews wine, Cao Cao will also turn a blind eye to those Baiyunbian who have not yet drunk it, which is a serious business.

However, judging from the situation reported by various places in Yanzhou, the stored grain has to be taken out.

Encountering such a problem, Cao Cao naturally convened a meeting, and the result went without saying, it was natural to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people.

If you want to cope with such a drought, you have to do it, and there is no other way.

The liquor workshop was shut down, because of the hot weather, the construction site was also suspended, and for a while, many workers in Yanzhou were unemployed, and they had to face the situation of having no food to eat, which made people panic.

Chu Feng was worried that Cai Yong and Cai Yan in Dongjun would have an accident because of this weather, so he wrote to inquire, and at the same time, he also gave a lot of money and asked the housekeeper of the Cai family to buy ice cubes to heat it.

It is very hot in the summer, and in order to escape the heat, people think of hiding the winter ice cubes in a deep cellar and waiting until the summer to take them out, and with the ice cubes, people are much more comfortable.

But this year, because of the drought, many of the cellars are shallow, and the ice cubes are melted directly by the heat.

In many places in Yanzhou, there are no ice cubes, and now not only Baiyunbian is very expensive, but ice cubes are also very expensive.

Because the Zhen family has only been in Yanzhou for less than a year, there is their own ice cellar, so they also lack this ice to cool down.

For Zhen Mi and Cai Yan, Chu Feng had to secretly make ice cubes.
