Chapter 565: Repair the river

"Hahaha!" Zhao Feng took the information from all over the place and laughed proudly, his plan was like this, he had already thought about what he wanted to extort when the time came!

"Mr. Zhongde, how are we doing now?" Zhao Feng asked.

"The drought is so bad that even if we were well prepared, the crops would still be gone!" Cheng Yu sighed.

"Hey!" Similarly, Zhao Feng also sighed, if it was replaced by the next generation, he could at least use artificial rainfall to slow down, but now, he didn't have any way!

However, now the situation in Liaodong is already very good, there are at least sixty percent of the crops left, and even if there are only sixty percent of the crops, it is a very large number! While being able to feed all the people of Liaodong, there is still surplus food!

"What we need to do now is to repair the farmland, to trim the river, and to make sure that the continuous rainstorm after more than a month will not cause any harm to our crops!" Otherwise, we're going to fall short! Zhao Feng Zhengse said.

"Well, Yu understands, now we are also dredging the river, no matter how big or small, we have nearly doubled the river, and if we strengthen the river embankment later, we will be able to deal with this flood with enough certainty!" Cheng Yu is now convinced of Zhao Fengde's rhetoric.

Originally, he was still suspicious of this drought, but now it seems that the drought that Zhao Feng said has already happened. Is there anything else that needs to be confirmed?

"Well, let's do it, if you have nothing to do today, Zhongde will accompany Gu to take a look!" Zhao Feng said.

To be honest, Zhao Feng still didn't feel at ease, as the so-called seeing is believing, he simply asked to take a look!

"So the lord will come with Yu!" Cheng Yu also knew that Zhao Feng was not at ease by doing this, so he led Zhao Feng to the edge of a river on the outskirts of Xiangping.

At this moment, due to more than a month of drought, the river has dried up, and the riverbed has been exposed to people's sight.

At this moment, there is an official who is organizing the people to dig on the riverbed, and from a distance it seems that the difference between the highest and lowest places is one person high!

"These people should be paid every day, right?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Well, we've already talked to the people!" Cheng Yu nodded.

"That's good, remember, don't be in arrears!" Zhao Feng warned Cheng Yu.

"Don't worry, Yu understands!" Cheng Yu nodded.

"By the way, Zhongde, how much grain has we collected from the grain and grass we have purchased since the beginning of the year?" Zhao Feng asked.

"If the lord wants to know this specific number, he may have to ask Brother Wen He, Yu only knows that these days, my Liaodong has purchased nearly two million stone grain from the people under the rule of the rest of the princes!" Cheng Yu said.

Attention, what Cheng Yu is talking about here is all food, and there is no forage!

"What about the forage?" Zhao Feng then asked.

"There are probably nearly a million stones of forage!" Cheng Yu thought for a while.

Good fellow, the forage has also collected a million stones! You must know that the secluded, and, Hebei, and cool are located in the north, close to the grassland, so there are many prolific horses! It can be said that more than eighty percent of the horses of the Han Dynasty are now among these four states! In other words, the number of horses in Zhao Feng's hands is countless!

Moreover, near the grassland, the horses on the horse farm are not worried about forage, and they need forage to feed, that is, war horses from all over the world!

"By the way, let Jia Xu come to Gufu in a while, and ask him about something!" Zhao Feng instructed as he walked back.

This time, he just wanted to come and have a look, and he didn't plan to show his face in front of the people, and besides, the people worked hard and the officials commanded properly, so what was he worried about? So he didn't come forward to disturb everyone's work!

"Yes, the subordinates remembered!" Cheng Yu nodded and walked back with Zhao Feng.

After entering the city, the two parted ways, and Zhao Feng returned to the mansion alone, waiting for Jia Xu's arrival.

Soon, Jia Xu, who received the news, felt that Zhao Feng was in the house.

"What's the matter with the lord?" Jia Xu asked.

"Tell me about the disaster situation in various places!" Zhao Fengdao.

"Well, it's strange to say, the most severely affected are in the south, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou! There is not one in ten crops! Cao Cao's territory a little further north is relatively light! But it's only two out of ten! Jia Xu said.

"Well, this is not a strange thing, Cao Cao will not be like Sun Quan and Liu Bei, even if there is a deep hatred, Cao Cao will still analyze the problem rationally! This is also what I admire about Cao Cao! Zhao Feng said.

Reason? Jia Xu was surprised, is Cao Cao really sensible? That once angry and offended Xu is still reasonable?

In fact, on that day, Cao Cao did analyze rationally, and he was fully capable and powerful to take Xuzhou, so he would take advantage of the topic to play and "be angry" to commit Xuzhou! But what I didn't expect was that this matter was actually intervened by Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu in Yuzhou was also very constrained, and for a while, Cao Cao almost lost his wife and soldiers!

In fact, throughout history, Cao Cao will never be as willful as Liu Bei! Of course, only Cao Cao's special habits made him lose in Wancheng, not to mention the loss of the general, and even the eldest son Cao Ang died because of this.

"Forget it, don't think about it, was Zhuge Liang invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Not yet, Zhuge Liang is still living in seclusion in Wolongong, Nanyang, it seems that Liu Bei has returned after two trips to no avail!" Jia Xu said.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng smiled slightly, this Zhuge Liang, as in history, wants to make things difficult for Liu Bei first, no matter what!

"But there's one thing worth noting!" Jia Xu suddenly said, "Liu Bei's previous two times, the interval was two months, but the second time has been more than three months now, and Liu Bei still hasn't gone to Wollongong again!" ”

"Haha, I guess I can't take care of this matter because of this drought, right?" Zhao Feng laughed, he never expected that this drought would help him invisibly!

Jia Xu also smiled slightly, although he thought that even if Wolong went out of the mountain, it didn't matter to the current situation, but no matter what, the later he came out of the mountain, the better!

"Keep an eye on Liu Bei's dynamics, who will notify me if there is news at any time!" Zhao Feng said.

"Yes! Understand! Jia Xu nodded, in fact, he also had a kind of strength in his heart that did not admit defeat, and he also wanted to know what was worthy of praise about this so-called "Wolong"! If he could, he would also like to compete with him and come out on top!
