Chapter 250: Whether or not to conduct a scientific expedition

Several ministers on the side looked at each other at this moment, and even they didn't know what to do, after all, it was too unexpected for such a thing to happen.

"Your Majesty! Weichen thinks, no matter what? Give these people a sip of water to drink first, so that there will not be even a mouthful of water in the capital! ”

Hubu Shangshu is also a little anxious at this moment, after all, the taxes on the acres of land under the whole world are all managed by him, and now the emptiness of the treasury has become like this, and the drought under the whole world has become like this, when the emperor holds him accountable, he must be the first.

Who knew that as soon as the words of the head of the household department fell, the soldier next to him stepped forward directly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there is no water source in this capital for a long time, and most of the wells have been dry, even the well water in our Imperial Forest Army suddenly dried up this morning, I don't know why?"

At this time, Tobe Shangshu stared at a pair of big eyes, not knowing what to do.

The right prime minister kept panting at this moment, after all, he was also the head of the hundred officials, and until now he couldn't come up with a complete plan to solve the matter in front of him.

At this time, Jia Nanfeng, the secretary of the ministry, stepped forward slightly.

"Your Majesty, now that the world is drought, and there are refugees outside the city, according to Weichen's opinion, why don't this year's imperial examinations be temporarily canceled?"

At this time, the other officials were a little disagreeable, especially the right prime minister, he finally cultivated Wen Gong, and now he has obtained the title of Wu Zhuangyuan, if it is a few days later, maybe the name of Wen Zhuangyuan will be taken down by him.

At this time, it is said that the imperial examination system will be abolished, which means that it will not be possible to hold the imperial examination in the next three years.

Won't he have to wait until three years?

Just when the right prime minister was about to step forward to admonish, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now it can only be like this, the world has become like this, and I don't have the time and energy to choose any imperial examination here! First of all, find a way to gather all the water and food in the city and distribute it uniformly! ”

All the civil and military officials didn't say a word at this moment, after all, in their opinion, the most important thing now is to save their lives.

After a few years of the imperial examination, they can still take the department again, if their lives are gone, then the world is probably really over.

The right prime minister hurriedly entered the palace and came out in a hurry this time, which did not play any role at all.

Some of them returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in despair, and the right Prime Minister didn't know why, and suddenly became a little older.

It's just that when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Gong had already disappeared.

Some anxiously the right prime minister couldn't manage so much, so he hurriedly took his own people out of the prime minister's mansion to look around.

When they found the east of the city, they found that Wen Gong had only set up a small stall here, and all the stalls were filled with some grain he had bought.

These grains have long been turned into porridge by Wen Gongdu, and they are given to these people here.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Prime Minister Right felt a little relieved in his heart, but now he already knew roughly the situation in the city.

The current drought has already spread across the country, and I am afraid that in addition to these refugees in front of us, a large number of refugees have already gathered in the whole world.

Even if you want to save it, you can't save it!

Besides, there are already a handful of food and water sources in the entire capital, and if they are wasted on these fans for no reason at this time, I am afraid that they will starve to death in the end.

"Wen Gong, what are you doing here?"

Prime Minister Right didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only step forward and pull Wen Gong to the broken temple on the side.

"Master, I went out today and saw a large number of refugees gathered here, and after I went back to report to you, I took some silver taels from the house and bought some food to help the victims! If these ordinary people are left alone, they will probably starve to death! ”

Prime Minister Right sighed helplessly: "Do you know how many victims there are in the world? What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg, and it won't be long before a large number of victims will gather in the capital, and at that time, not only will these people be starved to death, but even we may not survive to the end! ”

Wen Gong's eyes couldn't help but widen, he really didn't expect the disaster to be so serious this time.

"Then you mean that we won't save these victims? Do you want to watch them starve to death in this capital with their families and mouths? ”

The right prime minister sighed helplessly: "If I could save it, I would have saved it a long time ago!" Do you know what it's like in the capital now? There is almost no food in the imperial city. ”

Wen Gong couldn't help frowning: "What's going on in this world?" There will be a disaster every few years, and if it continues like this, how can the common people live? ”

Although Prime Minister You's face also looked worried about the country and the people, he was also a little helpless at this moment.

"Let's take one step at a time, the emperor has already issued a decree, and even went to the states and counties to let them survey the local disaster situation! I believe that it won't be long before these things will be gathered in the Imperial City! ”

Wen Gong nodded, and now there is only this way.

"Anyway, I've opened this porridge today, so I have to let the people eat a full meal!"

The right prime minister didn't stop him, didn't say anything, just sighed, and returned to the prime minister's mansion.

At this moment, Su Rongrong woke up from the cave in a daze.

It's just that when she woke up, she found that there was more and more water in front of her.

It seems that as I guessed before, water sources from all directions will converge here one after another.

In addition to this place, I am afraid that there is a large number of water sources in the vicinity of this Xiaotang Mountain.

According to Su Rongrong's estimation and prediction, I am afraid that there will be a large amount of water converging in the karst caves of the younger brother of the nearby Yanshan and Yinshan Mountains and even many mountain ranges.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Su Rongrong quickly got up and left here, if he stayed here for a while, he was afraid that he would be drowned here if the water level overflowed.

It's just that when Su Rongrong left the cave, he found that there was dry land everywhere outside.

When I arrived here last night, there was still green grass nearby, but today the land has slowly cracked.

This was a clear precursor to a major drought, and the water table was so deep that it continued to converge directly from the ground into the cave.

With a slight sigh of relief, Su Rongrong carefully marked the trend of the water veins he had studied on the map in his hand.
