After Zhang Fan did all this, no matter what the outside world was arguing about, he ran to get tired of Liu Ru again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two walked and walked, chatting as they walked, and Zhang Fan's hand secretly reached over and held Liu Ruyi's hand.

Liu Ruye's hand was grabbed by Zhang Fan, and she was excited for a while, wanting to break free, but Zhang Fan's strength was great, how could she break free, and grabbed her hand tightly.

Liu Ru lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Zhang Fan.

So Zhang Fan took Liu Ruye's hand and walked around the town.

Until the sun went down, everything was so beautiful.

Zhang Fan's successful relationship with Liu Ruyi has taken another step forward, and he is quite happy.

Early the next morning, Zhang Fan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and go to Liu Rushi, but a system announcement disrupted his plan.

"Ding~ system announcement: The monarch has no way, the sky has a famine, there is a rare drought in the Huaxia District, and the entire territory of the Han Dynasty has greatly reduced grain production. The plot of Huaxia District advanced to September 180. ”

The system announcement has been ringing three times, and Zhang Fan can't help but be glad that he has completed the grain purchase plan half a day ahead of schedule, otherwise it would be difficult to complete it today.

Zhang Fan hurriedly opened the market to take a look, and sure enough, only a few people in the market were still selling grain, and the others were either bought, or the sellers hurriedly withdrew.

As we all know, the price of grain will inevitably rise, and this price will depend on the extent of the drought.

When the system came out, people found that a lot of the land was cracked, and the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the ground was thousands of miles away.

This is the rhythm of the harvest, where is this a large reduction in production, it is simply a human life.

Not only that, some people who went out to brush the cottage found that after breaking through the cottage, there was not much food, and there were tens of thousands of units of grain before, but now there are only a few thousand units of grain.

At this time, everyone found out how smart Zhang Fan was, he actually started buying grain three days in advance, and if this grain was calculated according to the price, at least tens of thousands of gold coins had been earned.

However, Zhang Fan did not plan to sell at this time, because he did not know how serious the drought would be in the future.

"Grain, grain, where is food, hurry up and find it."

Many lords began to go crazy, and they all had reserves at this time, but they found that the food could not last for a month, and more importantly, according to the current population, if they still had to recruit displaced people, then food was a problem.

Many players have big heads, and they didn't lack food before, because they can get a lot of food by farming cottages, so they have arranged for their limited population to be elsewhere.

For example, mining, logging, and other manufacturing industries, but they never pay attention to agriculture.

In this way, the sudden drought caught them off guard and began to arrange for a large number of people to work in agriculture in an attempt to recoup the losses.

However, at this time, the lords were not pressed, because many territories had grain in stock.

When Zhang Fan received the news, he also hurried to the farmland to look.

It is true that many of the farmlands in Wanghai Town have dried up, and some seedlings have withered.

However, most of them are growing well, because Zhang Fan and they prepared in advance and dug a large number of canals, deep wells, and ponds, although the water is small, it can still be used for irrigation.

Although this will affect part of the harvest, it will not be a grain without harvest, Zhang Fan calculated, about half of the yield, then this month, Zhang Fan and they can also harvest hundreds of millions of units of grain. Enough for the next development of the territory.

Zhang Fan instructed to increase investment in the fishing industry and build large boats for fishermen to use.

The drought has affected the harvest of the land, but it has not had half of the impact on the marine fishery, which currently employs more than 20,000 people, and the harvest is also very impressive, at least one third of the territory's food rations.

In this way, after a few days, the power of the drought began to break out, and the food in many territories gradually ran out, and the lords began to be anxious.

"We can't recruit displaced people anymore."

"Let the people go up to the mountains to pick wild fruits."

"Stop logging, go hunting."

"Keep an eye on the market for me, and buy me food if there's any."

"All the strangers in the village, the food will solve by itself."

......

The lords each used a variety of measures in order to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but after all kinds of measures continued, the effect was not very good, but the people's loyalty, popular heart, economy, and stability index were declining.

In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the sequelae of the drought, although the food is currently enough, and there is still a lot of leftover, but no one knows how long it will last, so Zhang Fan has to be prepared, so that he can feel at ease, and the people in the territory can also feel at ease.

After being busy for a few days, Zhang Fan took the time to find Liu Rushi, who was holding her little hand and strolling, Zhang Fan found an opportunity to take Liu Rushi to a gazebo, and then hugged her.

Liu Ru was blushing, very cute, Zhang Fan couldn't help but kiss it.

"Report to Lord Lord, Sea Soul Village is in a hurry." Zhang Fan was about to kiss Liu is so much, and a soldier actually ran over to report.

Zhang Fan glared at the soldier fiercely, and the soldier touched his head blankly.

At this time, Liu Ru took the opportunity to break free from his embrace.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fan said in a somewhat impulsive tone.

"My lord, the grain transport team of Sea Soul Village has been attacked, the grain has been robbed, and dozens of our villagers have been killed." The soldier reported.

"What, who dares to be so bold, the robbery has hit our Wanghai Town." Zhang Fan was furious, the good thing was destroyed, but now it was robbed.

Zhang Fan returned to the administrative center angrily, and at this time Yu Qian had already sorted out the information.

"Lord, it's a town near us, they found our grain transport team, because there has been no accident over there, so they just sent hundreds of villagers to help transport it, I didn't expect such a group of people to suddenly appear, fortunately, they just wanted to rob the grain, and they didn't continue to chase and kill after killing the villagers." Yu Qian briefly explained the situation.

"How many of them are there? How strong is their town? ”

"Their town is called Iron and Bloodless, more than fifty miles away from us, and the people who robbed us are more than a thousand Inhumans, according to the report of Sea Soul Village, they have two affiliated villages, the situation of the army is unknown, but there are a large number of Inhumans in the territory."

Zhang Fan frowned, this revenge must be avenged, killing his villagers and robbing him of food is a deep hatred.

"Pass my order, order Mu Guiying, Yue Yun, and Wang Dayou to immediately gather troops and horses and prepare to go on the expedition." didn't know the strength of the other party, so Zhang Fan went out.

In the end, Zhang Fan ordered 1,500 sword shield soldiers, 1,000 pikemen and 1,500 archers, these are all Zhang Fan's belongings, of course, Zhang Fan is reluctant to use the navy at present, because it costs a lot of money to train them.

To train a qualified sailor, he must shoot an unknown number of arrows or crossbows, and a lot of actual combat experience.

However, Zhang Fan didn't know the details of the other party, so he ordered the navy to prepare as well.
