After dealing with the problem of Ma Tan, Liu Feng was in a very comfortable mood. Lunch went to Little Joe's for use. Thinking about the expedition, Xiao Qiao handed over his body to him.

Liu Feng couldn't help but want to have a good time with Xiao Qiao, but the sun was warm in the sky at noon, and the temperature was a little high. It's warm and lethargic.

Coupled with last night's hangover and indulgence, there are some sequelae. Liu Feng had to sleep in Xiao Qiao's room.

After sleeping for less than half an hour, Liu Feng woke up. 's strong physique made Liu Feng look energetic again after a short rest.

After waking up, Liu Feng's thoughts of coexisting with Xiao Qiao became stronger and stronger.

But after asking the maid, I learned that Xiao Qiao had slept in the next room.

In the room, Xiao Qiao was lying on his side on the bed, covered with a thin quilt. His eyes were closed, and his face looked normal, but on closer inspection, he could still detect some paleness.

Liu Feng stood beside the bed, looked at Xiao Qiao's slightly weaker appearance than a normal person, and sighed.

People are like delicate flowers, and people like Xiao Qiao should be pitied.

After thinking about it, Liu Feng extinguished the idea of finding Xiao Qiao's warmth, and instructed the maid to prepare more blood nourishing and body-conditioning food for Xiao Qiao to eat.

Then he exited the room.

After going out, Liu Feng forcibly erased Xiao Qiao from his mind.

Start thinking about business.

Cao Ren's affairs have been dealt with, and the integration of the army and the resettlement of the people are all handled by specialized personnel. I believe that after a period of time, it can be digested.

The matter of the big wedding has also been handed over to Jiao Xiang to deal with.

The rest is a great drought and floods. First there was a great drought, then a flood. It caused turmoil in the entire area south of the Yangtze River.

This matter, even if Liu Feng is killed, he will not forget it and ignore it.

He has prepared a lot for this, and now the grain with millions of stones in the granary is the most important link.

Zhang Dao, Xu Tian, and Fei Guan are still trying their best to buy grain for Liu Feng.

Zhang Dao and Xu Tian are buying private grain, although it is small, but it is still being purchased. But Feiguan's acquisition is nearing completion.

Jingzhou is so big, and there are so many Haoqiang or something. Fei Guan has been collecting it for a few months, and it's almost the same.

But preparing food can only make you rich, but it is not enough to survive the disaster. Liu Feng felt that something should be done.

For example, digging some deep boreholes can help people survive disasters during a major drought. Not enough to solve it completely, but at least it can alleviate the drought.

Thinking about it, Liu Feng immediately found Kou Shui, prepared the carriage, and planned to go out of the city to go around. Investigate the situation of the investigation.

Kou Shui often lives in the Taishou Mansion, and during the day he is responsible for the defense of the Taishou Mansion, and at night he is in charge of the defense of the deputy. On call.

After Liu Feng greeted him, Kou Shui immediately prepared the carriage.

There was a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and more than a dozen guards, including Kou Shui, were standing.

After Liu Feng got into the carriage, Kou Shui gave an order, and the team headed to the south of the city.

Soon after, the team left the city. After leaving the city, I continued to walk for a while. An idyllic scene appeared in Liu Feng's eyes.

Everywhere there are yellow-orange-orange millet, as well as some beans. It won't be long before the harvest will be.

Looking at this abundant grain situation, Liu Feng's mood became good.

This year is a good year, and the harvested grain should be able to survive next year's natural disasters. If you subsidize some more grain, you can last until the autumn harvest of the following year.

In agriculture in this era, there was only one harvest a year.

The grain harvested this year will be eaten until next autumn. In the same way, this year's wind and rain are good and the harvest is good, but if there is no harvest next year, you will have to eat until the autumn of the next year.

Liu Feng knew that he would definitely not be able to persevere, so he had to subsidize it.

Fortunately, this year is a bumper harvest, and the tax revenue can be consolidated in the official warehouses of the counties. When the natural disaster arrives and the people have no food to eat, they can directly open warehouses for disaster relief.

In comparison, Sun Quan may be choking enough.

On the carriage, a hint of schadenfreude flashed in Liu Feng's eyes, Liu Feng always paid attention to the situation in Jiangdong, and the flames were everywhere, and they were also victorious.

Gathered up the Shanyue people who don't know how much.

The grain left behind before was purchased by him for 300,000 stones. It is estimated that the bottom is about to be reached, and the grain from the bumper harvest purchased this year will be filled into the bottomless pit of exterminating Shanyue.

It is estimated that there is only a little bit left that can be used for disaster relief in the coming year. Then the Shanyue captives will also eat grain, and those who don't eat grain may rebel.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are in dire straits.

In comparison, the situation in Jingzhou may be better. After all, there is no war, and the official warehouse is also solid. This year was another bumper harvest.

But he must also be nervous, Liu Feng will be ruthless when the time comes, regardless of whether it is his father-in-law who is in power. Liu Fengdu regarded Jingzhou as Liu Cong's, and he could get rich as he could.

Thinking about it, the carriage soon came to the outside of a large village.

The village is huge, with countless houses as far as the eye can see. Near the entrance of the village, there are a few babies playing in the mud.

Liu Feng was about to tell Kou Shui to go into the village to check the situation, and saw a gray-haired old man in front of him. Liu Feng was overjoyed, got out of the carriage, and greeted him.

"I've seen the old man." Liu Feng saluted the old man.

The old man was taken aback by Liu Feng, he has lived for most of his life, he only salutes to a son like Liu Feng, the old man, and has never seen someone like Liu Feng salute him.

But at such an old age, the old man quickly calmed down. Bent over and clenched his fists and said, "Childe is polite." ”

Liu Feng smiled slightly, raised his head to look at the village, and after a while, asked: "I saw that this village is very large, and it seems that there is no end in sight, and I am curious, so I stopped the old man and wanted to ask how many people there are." ”

Liu Feng looks like this, so much like a son of a family who has never experienced things.

"Five or six hundred people." The old man did not doubt him, and replied casually.

"How's this year's harvest going?" Liu Feng continued to smile and asked.

"Thanks to Liu Jiangxia's blessing, this year's harvest is very good. Even next autumn, every family will have a surplus of food. Speaking of this harvest, the old man said with his eyebrows flying.

What does this harvest have to do with me? Liu Feng was surprised in his heart, and then asked.

Only then did I learn that this old man's village used to be a tenant with the surname Jiang Xia, and the whole village was. Tenants do not have to pay taxes to the government, but only need to pay grain to the master's family.

The three surnames of Jiangxia are still fine, and when the harvest is good, they collect more grain. When the harvest is bad, the harvest is less. As a result, the tenants are able to survive, but their families are poor.

Now that Liu Feng has exterminated the three surnames of Jiangxia, these people have been liberated. In the future, as long as you pay grain to the government, the tax set by Iraq is relatively small.

Therefore, after this bumper harvest, every household will have a surplus of pomp.

When it comes to Liu Jiangxia, don't talk about this old man, even if he is a person from the village, he is very respectful.

Liu Feng just listened with a smile, and couldn't see the mood swings. Kou Shui, who was behind Liu Feng, looked at Liu Feng's eyes and was very proud, his own son, martial arts can fight against strong enemies. Wen can also govern the county and is deeply loved by the people.

"I don't know, there is a well in the village?" Liu Feng smiled and listened to the old man's words, and then asked the purpose of coming here today.

"Yes, about three or four." The old man replied casually.

"Is it a deep borehole, or a shallow well?" Liu Feng asked again.

"Hehe, when I look at my son, he is a person who has never been out." The old man smiled and looked at Liu Fengdao happily.

"How so?" Ask a question and you can see the depth? Liu Feng wondered.

"Hehe, this Jingzhou has been in good weather for decades, the old man has only seen floods, never seen droughts, what's the use of deep wells?" The old man said with a smile.

Liu Feng suddenly realized that the water system near Jiangxia is developed, the wind and rain are smooth, and there will rarely be drought.

"Thank you, old man, for the point." Liu Feng hugged his fists and bowed to the old man.

"Childe is very polite." Regarding Liu Feng's courtesy, the old man had to say one more thing, and then said: "The old man still has farm work to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Let's go, old man." Liu Feng raised his fist.

"Huh." In the laughter, the old man walked away.

Liu Feng also retracted his gaze, looking a little excited. The drought in the south of the Yangtze River is so serious, and it has been recorded in the history books, and the source may be here.

The wind and rain are smooth, and there are no deep wells.

In ancient times, drilling wells was a time-consuming task, especially deep wells. It takes specialized personnel to drill wells, and how much money each well needs to be filled.

When the drought came, the government realized that it was too late to dig a well. Moreover, some governments may not add money to dig wells for the people.

Now he ordered Jiang Wan to find professional well-digging personnel in advance, and then dig some deep wells in every village. It can alleviate the drought.

Jiangxia, Jiujiang, Changsha.

With a plan in his heart, Liu Feng immediately ordered Kou Shui to set off to return to Taishou Mansion.

After returning to Taishou Mansion, Liu Feng immediately wrote down a document and ordered Jiang Wan, Ma Liang, and Xu Zheng to start digging wells. Liu Feng was also afraid that they would wonder about his intentions because of the smooth weather this year. And take it lightly and don't work hard.

Therefore, Liu Feng's words are very rigid. Be sure to get them to do their best.

After doing all this, Liu Feng let out a long breath.

Since you understand the future, you must make a fortune again, and you must minimize your losses.

……………….

On the Xiangjiang River, a big ship with the handsome flag of the word "Liu" went upstream, and there were some warships guarding the left and right around it, full of courage.

Shuai Qi is Jiao Xiang, who is dressed in formal clothes, with a calm face and a tall figure.

Jiao Xiang at this moment, as well as the surrounding fleet.

It's like the situation of an envoy of a country, whether it's scale or style.

Liu Feng's marriage. For Jiao Xiang, this is a major matter related to the country. Last time, because Liu Biao was still there, Liu Feng had to be simple even if he was hired.

But now it's different, and it's necessary to create momentum. Let the scholars and people of Jingzhou take a good look at the majesty of Jiangxia.

Therefore, Jiao Xiang not only asked Gan Ning for a big ship, but also asked Gan Ning to prepare five hundred sailors and eight warships to guard him forward.

"Your Excellency. Xiangyang is almost here. At this time, an entourage came to Jiao Xiang's side and bent down to salute.

"Hmm." When Jiao Xiang heard this, he looked up and looked ahead, and could vaguely see Xiangyang City.

After defeating Cao Ren, he married the daughter of a high-ranking family, and the prestige of the lord will definitely reach its peak.

Jiao Xiang's eyes flashed with excitement.
