Chapter 102: Thoughts that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
An autumn rain brought hope for life, so that the Central Plains, which was already in turmoil and drought, and the Central Plains, which was about to fall into a desperate situation, finally recovered some vitality.
In the face of the severe drought, the only way to reassure the people is to open warehouses and release grain, and at the same time, to prevent the victims from becoming emotional and rioting.
The natural disasters are ruthless, so that the Central Plains, which was already in turmoil, was once again suffering from wind and frost, and the people were mourning all over the country, even Yanzhou, which was very well governed, was also hit by a lot of blows.
I thought that if I fled to Yanzhou, I would be able to live a relatively peaceful life, but who knows, but I encountered a major drought.
Not to mention those of them who fled, even the local people in Yanzhou have not had a good life.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's timely relief, timely rectification and management, it is estimated that those in the local area and those who fled would have to fight.
Because there are some people who believe that it is these people who brought disaster to Yanzhou, and they are all ominous people.
In the face of the disaster, people's hearts are actually fragile, and they themselves used to be refugees, but under the governance of the government, they lived a peaceful life, and suddenly faced with such a disaster, their hearts were also broken.
Fortunately, the drought did not last forever, and when August came, a rain washed the land, and the dry river was flooded, and the land was full of life.
Finally, we have survived the most difficult period, the weather has begun to turn cooler, and the weather is no longer sultry, which is the most suitable for military training.
After a miserable few months of military camp, the organization of large-scale military training began again, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also received Cao Cao's praise and established a new trap camp.
The fighters who followed Zhang Liao and Gao Shun before, that is, the soldiers who fell into the camp at the beginning, are still following Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
It can be seen that Cao Cao's trust in them, of course, can also be regarded as a temptation, which depends on how the parties understand it.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who became serious, impressed many people, and also received praise and recognition from many people.
After the trapping camp was formed, it had not been training for a month before it encountered a major drought.
In other military camps, there will be some dissatisfaction among the soldiers, but there will be no mutiny, but there must be gossip in private, and most of the soldiers do not want to train anymore, and they will die of heat all day long.
In the face of this situation, many generals have no choice, they themselves are hot, the armor is so heavy, it is so thick, and it is not very breathable, wearing it on the body, in this big summer, sitting for a while, it feels uncomfortable, not to mention, training in armor.
However, the newly formed trap camp was different, and there was not a hint of slackness on the faces of the fighters.
Although they don't train in armor on weekdays, they train bare-chested in the water.
Every morning, I take dry food directly to the far river to find a shady place, and then start training.
I've seen a spell, but I've never seen a spell like this.
It's going to be hot to death this summer, I don't want to know how to rest, but I still have to train, the key is that those fighters are not resentful, and they are full of spirit one by one.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he specially praised Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in front of those generals in Yanzhou, and his love for these two generals in his heart has already been expressed.
Chu Feng also admired these two generals, in order to express his loyalty, and in order to be able to build a strong army, he did have a desperate momentum to gain a foothold in Cao Cao's big group.
The weather has cooled, and the people, who have been greatly affected by the drought, are once again facing no food.
Therefore, Cao Cao once again ordered the launch of cash-for-work and charitable donations, which is simply the best way to calm the people's hearts and manage the people's feelings after the disaster.
This drought has made people realize the importance of water, not only to prevent major droughts, but also to prevent floods.
The geographical location of Yanzhou is backed by a big river, and once the river rushes out of the embankment, the boundary of Yanzhou will definitely be a vast ocean.
Cao Cao asked those people who had no land to plant to build rivers, and if they wanted to solve the flood of the big river, they already had a theory, that is, it was better to block than to dredge, and dig a small river channel next to the big river, which could not only solve the flood problem, but also irrigate the crops.
A river that extends in all directions from the boundary of Yangsan is slowly taking shape, and it is a very large project.
But once this project is completed, it will definitely benefit many people in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou will not be affected by floods.
Chu Feng, as one of Cao Cao's advisors, stepped up when everyone else had a task.
This time, the task of cash-for-work was all handed over to Chu Feng, and the idea of digging the river was finally determined after Chu Feng reported to Cao Cao.
Chu Feng remembered that the most powerful strategy in this period was water attack and fire attack, such as Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army, which was to use water attack to directly defeat the powerful Cao army with his own strength and defend the city.
And the more expressive attack with fire is naturally the famous strategist Zhuge Liang, who can be regarded as the spokesperson of fire attack.
The burning of Bowangpo and Chibi is simply the use of fire attack to the extreme, and future generations naturally also use fire to attack, such as Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, who directly burned the company camp and defeated Liu Bei's army, making Liu Bei hate the White Emperor City.
Of course, no one will have the ability to block the water of the great river and then flood Yanzhou.
But once the water of the big river floods, Yanzhou will definitely suffer a huge disaster, and when this great drought comes, it will give Chu Feng a wake-up call.
If there is a great drought, there will inevitably be a flood.
The construction of the river is a very large undertaking that naturally takes time, but there are also projects that take a relatively short period of time.
Because the drought caused many people to lose their lives, the construction of the house was over.
If a house is built and no one lives in it, what else is there to build?
You can't build houses, but you can build other fortifications, and you can't let the people be idle, because when they are idle, they will think a lot.
Sometimes, people are like that.
If he is not allowed to work, he will sit there thinking and thinking nonsense, and his heart will not be at peace, and only when he is working will they not think nonsense when it consumes their energy.
In the past, the government provided free handouts, directly opened porridge shops, and then let those displaced people wait for alms every day.
But with the cash-for-work strategy, it's different, if you want to have food, you have to work.
Some of them are like coercion, but this kind of compulsion is liked by the people.
Because it is always said that they are not working for the government, but for themselves and their homes to become better.
This kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
