In the backyard of General Yang Wu's mansion, in Cai Da's house.

Liu Feng sat on the bed, holding his second son, Liu Chang. On the bed lay Cai Da. On the side sat Cai Yu, who was holding Liu Wei.

It has been more than a month since Cai Yu gave birth, and Cai Da also gave birth to her son a few years ago. Liu Feng took the name Liu Chang.

crumpled, as ugly as the newborn Liu Wei. But he is also very energetic like Liu Wei, with a pair of big black eyes constantly looking around curiously.

Compared with Cai Yu's dystocia, Cai Da's production is smoother, but it is enough to choke.

Just a few days after giving birth, Cai Da was still very weak, and she was leaning on it at this time, looking at Liu Chang in Liu Feng's arms with a happy face.

Cai Yu next to him had a smile on his face, after more than a month of recuperation, Cai Yu was barely able to get out of bed. I was worried about Cai Da's situation, so I came to take a look.

Liu Wei in her hands has gradually grown, and the skin on her body has become as smooth and tender as a normal baby.

Thin arms and thin legs, holding hard, kicking. Very strong brat.

Liu Feng hugged it in his arms, looked at it in front of him, and had a strong feeling in his heart, this is what it feels like to be a father.

And the current status of Liu Feng is not ordinary.

If it is placed in modern times, it is much more nerve-wracking for ordinary people to have children. But Liu Feng doesn't care, he has a wife and a maid at home.

He just had to enjoy the happy hour. Changing diapers, being hungry, crying, he doesn't have to.

Just holding his son, the leisure time is limited after all.

"General." Outside the door, the voice of the guard sounded.

Although he was reluctant, Liu Feng still returned Liu Chang in his arms to Cai Da. "Get a good rest, especially you." Liu Feng glanced at the second daughter, then turned his gaze to Cai Yu and warned: "Don't get out of bed casually, those who should cultivate must cultivate." ”

This woman is crazy and there is no boundary. It's only been a month, and I'm crazy and want to go horseback riding. It's just unreasonable.

"Hmm." Cai Yu's face was crossed, a little unwilling, but under Liu Feng's gaze, he still had to nod obediently.

Seeing Cai Yu nodding obediently, Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction. Then he walked out.

After leaving the gate, Liu Feng saw a guard. Liu Feng is very familiar with the guards stationed outside the door of the study all the year round.

"What?" Liu Feng straightened the clothes on his body and asked.

"Xu Tian, Zhang Dao and the two adults are back." The guard replied.

Liu Feng sighed in his heart, another food source is over.

The people of Jingchu have a lot of food, and some of them can't even eat it for several years. Therefore, Liu Fengcai set his sights on Jingzhou.

Xu Tian and Zhang Dao were dispatched to purchase grain from the people.

These words, the harvest is also good. Under the efforts of the two of them and Fei Guan, Jiangxia's grain has reached six million stones.

But with the arrival of drought and the reduction of grain production, people are aware that this year's harvest may be lost. Therefore, they clung to the grain and stopped selling it.

Half a month ago, Zhang Dao and Xu Tian sent someone to say that they had passed, and Liu Feng replied to the letter and asked them to set off for return.

However, after a while, Liu Feng was excited.

There are not many spies under Liu Feng, and it is reluctant to investigate some of the situation in Xiangyang and Yuzhang, but for the intelligence capabilities of most places, it is equal to a blank.

However, Zhang Dao and Xu Tian are active in Jingchu all year round, and their understanding of drought should be very profound.

Ask them what the situation of Jing Chu is, and what is the situation of Jiangdong.

Thinking about it, Liu Feng picked up his feet and walked quickly towards the study.

Soon, Liu Feng arrived at the study and walked in.

In the study, two people had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Liu Fenglai, he immediately bowed down and said, "Lord." ”

Liu Feng nodded and said, "No courtesy." ”

Immediately, Liu Feng got up and sat down on the main seat. After sitting down, I had the opportunity to look at the two of them carefully.

I saw that both of them had a lot of tanning and a lot of leaning, and their eyes were shining with a hint of essence.

Liu Feng nodded secretly, after the external experience, the spirit and ability should have grown. If it is not bad as expected, the two of them should be able to barely do it.

Just like Xu Zheng who was sent to Changsha. When he got started, he was very reluctant, but now he has grown a little bit, and Liu Feng plans to promote him to Changsha Taishou in a while.

Whether it is Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, or Xiang Chong, they are all assassins, or the talents of the Three Princes and Nine Qings, and it is just an expedient measure to let them be county guards.

Appointing some people who can be trusted and capable to be local civil officials is the king. It's a pity that now is not the time, and only when there is a situation can we open up a system for selecting officials. When the time comes, the county guard and the county order can be promoted one by one.

Many thoughts flashed in Liu Feng's mind.

"In just a few days in Jingzhou, the two of you have raised one or two million stone of grain, which is really good." Liu Feng praised.

"All thanks to the foresight of the Lord." Zhang Dao and Xu Tian glanced at each other and said with a tacit understanding.

The words of the two were sincere, in the past, Liu Feng sent them to buy grain, they were all in the mood to complete the task, and they were also very suspicious about the task itself.

Grain can only be stored for a few years, and buying too much will only cost money.

But now that the drought is coming, and the crops may be out of harvest this year, the two of them can't be more impressed by Liu Feng's foresight.

With this hand, you can multiply it several times, and it will be profitable.

The fact that you bought the grain has nothing to do with whether I had foresight or not. Liu Feng was a little unimpressed by the words of the two.

But his subordinates revere him, and Liu Feng has no reason to refute it. So it's just an imagination.

"You have been in Jingzhou for a long time, do you know what the situation in Jingzhou is now?" Liu Feng asked. Finally asked the question he desperately wanted to know.

"The drought is severe. More than half of the rivers have dried up completely, and the rest, although not completely dry, are still struggling to survive. There is a serious shortage of water. And Cai Mao, Kuai Yue did not have the foresight of the lord, so he dug a deep well first. Therefore, many people have difficulty in using water. Some elderly people have even died as a result. Zhang Dao sighed.

His expression was a little heavy.

Immediately, he told Liu Feng everything he had seen.

The people of Jingzhou are very rich, and even if some people sell their grain to Zhang Dao and the others, their families can still last until next year.

But the current situation is not food. It's water.

Some people don't even have water to cook their meals, because Zhang Dao and the others often walk around the village. I once saw with my own eyes that some people swallowed rice grains raw.

Eat it minced and drink some more water.

If you cook rice and say that you want to evaporate water, for the people now, a mouthful of water can survive.

Regarding Zhang Dao's words, Liu Feng listened silently, except for some fluctuations at the beginning, the rest were very calm.

Knowing that there would be a drought early on, Liu Feng had already imagined in his mind what the drought would be.

These are not bad, Jing Chu, Wu Yue still has some foundation. The drought may not kill many people. The real devastating ones were the floods that followed.

They can break down the houses of the people, wash away the grain, and make the grain moldy.

The people will be affected by the disaster, and the turmoil caused will be absolutely staggering.

And from the current situation in Jingchu, Liu Feng can also roughly guess the situation in Jiangdong.

I'm afraid Sun Quan's son is not having a good time. Even, more sad than Cai Mao. Cai Mao has no ambitions for Jing Chu, but Sun Quan is an ambitious person.

When there is ambition, fear weakness. Sun Quan feared unpredictable and unmanageable disasters.

In other words, Liu Feng has a high chance of being able to get Sun Quan's Shanyue people from this disaster.

So far, Liu Feng doesn't care about the others. The interests of his own side are what Liu Feng cares about the most.

"Hmm." After Zhang Dao finished speaking, Liu Feng nodded and said.

Immediately, he said: "Although you have been working outside for nearly a year, it is very hard. But now is not the time for you to rest. ”

"My lord's command." The two are very clever.

I am also more excited in my heart, now Liu Feng is no longer the wild general who did not have a piece of territory, he is General Yang Wu who owns three counties.

With these words, the experience outside. The two are also eager to be reused and go up again.

"Come with me." Liu Feng got up and said to the two.

"No." The two of them answered the promise and quickly followed.

Immediately, Liu Feng took the two of them out of the city in a carriage.

Soon, the carriage arrived at a small river about thirty miles south of Xiling City.

What appeared in front of Zhang Dao and Xu Tian was a hot scene.

The river has dried up completely, except for some silt in the middle of the river. It's almost the same way.

But it was on this dead drink that hundreds of people dug up the soil from the inside of the river, and then carried the soil to strengthen the river on both sides.

Dredging rivers, strengthening rivers, and improving rivers.

These words rose from the hearts of Zhang Dao and Xu Tian, and the two gradually realized what Liu Feng was going to do with them.

The two were looking at the river in front of them, and so was Liu Feng.

Liu Feng has to come to this river almost every few days, because this river is the epitome of Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Changsha now.

Countless prime-aged laborers have been redeployed. Arranged to dredge the river.

Now, in the three counties, wherever there is a river, there will be these migrant workers digging the river.

Because Liu Feng knows that the real destructive natural disaster is floods. When the flood came, everything was a floating cloud.

Dredging the river and increasing the maximum amount of flood discharge can protect the three counties of Jiangxia.

And such an important project is very large. Jiujiang is better, the place is small. There are also few water systems. However, there are many water systems in Jiangxia and Changsha counties.

Xu Zheng, the magistrate system led by Jiang Wan, under full operation, is still not satisfactory.

Now Zhang Dao and Xu Tian have both had good abilities after training. With them on board, the progress of the project should be accelerated.

"One of you will go to Changsha, and the other will stay in Jiangxia. Help the two counties to clean up the river. Liu Feng said to the two.

I had already expected it in my heart, and the two of them were not surprised.

He replied quickly, "No." ”

Seeing the reaction speed of the two, Liu Feng was more satisfied, and the people who had gone outside to experience it were really different.
