Chapter 158: The Great Drought in Central Fujian (2)

On this day, after Xu Wugui and Chen Sheng inspected several areas with relatively tight water, seeing Chen Sheng's worried face, Xu Wugui finally asked: "My lord, although the drought in central Fujian is more severe, but in some places in central Fujian, agricultural products are harvested three times a year, and the government has sufficient grain stocks, even if the harvest is bad once, the people in central Fujian will not be hungry, why are you so worried?" ”

Looking at Xu Wugui's puzzled appearance, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not worried about this. After taking a sip of water, Chen Sheng said: "Lack of water and poor harvest, this problem is not big." However, it is the various mass incidents caused by the competition for water resources in various places that are the major events. Speaking of this, Chen Sheng frowned, and said slowly: "Fujian is a new frontier of the empire, located in a desolate location, and does not accept the king. There are many contradictions in various places, and they are intricately intertwined. Once stimulated, it may evolve into a prairie fire, and then it will be unimaginable. ”

Seeing Chen Sheng so worried, Xu Wugui said with relief: "My lord, a pile of wood can't be said to be a house, and a group of mobs can't be said to be an army. Adults have tens of thousands of troops in Fujian, will they still be afraid of a little mob rebellion? ”

Hearing Xu Wugui say this, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, as a child of the Mo family, don't you know the power of the people better than me?" Who wants to be a mob, when the mob forms a certain number, and Fujian is full of wolf smoke, don't say that this point in my hand is originally an army composed of the leaders of Fujian and Qian, even if it is to mobilize the Great Qin Ruishi to come in, what is the use, a chaotic Minzhong County, not what I want! What I want is a prosperous and peaceful Minzhong County, not a barbaric place where life is miserable! ”

Hearing this, Xu Wugui was in awe. Chen Sheng is not very old, but he has already considered the problem so thoughtfully, and he is people-oriented, this kind of official is very rare whether it is the current Great Qin Empire or the past era when princes stood side by side. Such a person is worthy of his follow.

"Adults have a heart, and no ghost admires it!" Xu Wugui bowed heavily to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng hit the snake with the stick, and said "haha": "Since you admire it very much, then follow me to benefit Fujian and the people in the future!" "During this period of time, Xu Wugui's role was very great, and the five-year contract was still too short for Chen Sheng.

"If the adults always seek the benefit of the people, no ghost should swear to chase anyone!" Xu Wugui patted his chest and said.

Chen Sheng squinted his eyes and glanced at Xu Wugui, and then said slowly: "Before Fusu Gongzi asked me, what are your ambitions in this life, do you know how I answer?" Chen Sheng said.

"I want to hear about it." Seeing Chen Sheng's divine look, Xu Wugui was impressed by Chen Sheng's acting skills, and couldn't help but ask.

"At that time, we looked at it by the sea, and we felt it in our hearts, so we blurted out and said, 'In this life, I wish to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the study for the saints, and peace for all generations!' Chen Sheng's tone was flat, but he was extremely serious.

The two of them sat under a half-sunburned old tree next to the dry canal, and through the gaps in the leaves, the sunlight was mottled and projected on Chen Sheng's face, and in Xu Wugui's eyes, there was an indescribable sense of sacredness in it. Xu Wugui looked at Chen Sheng blankly, his face shocked and moved.

Xu Wugui is not the same as Fusu. Although Fusu is young, he has been up and down in the political whirlpool since he was a child. In his view, Chen Sheng's ambition is an unattainable and empty feat, which can express his heart directly, but has no practical value.

But Xu Wugui is a child of the Mo family, and the most important thing for the children of the Mo family is to love each other, and Chen Sheng's every sentence can find the core idea of the Mo family in it. Therefore, the same remark has different values in the ears of different people.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "These four sentences, each sentence is something that is difficult for me to do in this life, think about my own ideas are arrogant and ridiculous." But I don't regret it, I can't do it, but if I don't do some things, how do I know that I can't do it? Brother Wugui, would you like to do something like this with me? ”

Chen Sheng's eloquence has been practiced with Wei Yi, a great lobbyist, and he knows what kind of people to say. People like these people with sectarian thoughts, especially the children of the Mo family, once they move out of the world and do their own things, eight out of ten will be attracted. Thinking about it, Xu Wugui will not make much difference.

Xu Wugui took a deep breath, stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Sheng, and said: "My lord is ambitious, although my ghostless intelligence is shallow, I am willing to drive for the adults and do my part for the common people!" ”

"Well said, well said!" Chen Sheng quickly stood up and helped Xu Wugui heavily. Chen Sheng was in a good mood, and turned Xu Wugui, a contract worker, into a long-term worker, and he couldn't help but be fierce. However, after being excited, Chen Sheng quickly turned his mind back to the problem in Minzhong. Chen Sheng pointed to the dry canal in front of him, and said in a heavy tone: "There are many mountains and little land in central Fujian, and there is more precipitation but less water storage. The people are hungry, and it depends on the time of day. Moreover, along the coast of central Fujian, from June to November every year, there are many hurricanes and floods, which often cause great losses to all parts of central Fujian, which is also the main reason why the products in central Fujian are abundant, but the people of Qianshou cannot live in peace and prosperity. After a pause, Chen Sheng said again: "So, Brother Xu, in the next period of time, I have to bother you, go to various places in central Fujian to investigate, mark the places suitable for the construction of canals and reservoirs, we will build several reservoirs in Fujian to regulate, release water to feed the people in the dry season, store water in the flood season and prevent floods, and do practical things for the people of Fujian!" ”

"Good!" Xu Wugui's eyes lit up. This kind of thing for the benefit of the people was originally what the children of the Mo family should do. Naturally, he didn't allow it.

"It's been unusually dark lately, and my biggest concern is not the drought, but the hurricane floods." Chen Sheng suddenly pointed to the clear sky above his head, and said worriedly to Xu Wugui: "I investigated the records of Fujian in the past years, and found that there are hurricanes and precipitation starting in March and April every year. But so far this year, there has been little precipitation and not many hurricanes, which is what worries me the most. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! "Chen Sheng is a human being, and he knows a lot about typhoons in coastal areas. The less typhoons there are, the more powerful the typhoons will be. Once encountering this once-in-a-century catastrophe, the entire Minzhong County will be in great trouble. Especially after inspecting the river defenses in various parts of central Fujian recently, Chen Sheng is even more worried about this.
