He had been sleeping for several days on a day, and had only slept for an hour and a half a day. Because of the drought, there were many contradictions, and the sixth child was still stirring up trouble everywhere, recruiting troops, and preparing to revolt in the name of the little emperor who was not the true son of heaven, don't think he doesn't know.

Those ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. What they mentioned in the recital was what they thought was the perfect solution, and they brought water from their neighbors to solve the problem. It's just that you have to send someone to negotiate, and so on all kinds of procedures, this is carefully calculated, even if it is fast, once you come and go, it will be November, and it will be cold by then.

But apart from this method, they can't help it. Every day, the river is rapidly declining at a rate visible to the naked eye. Many wells have long since dried up, not to mention the crops in the fields. Some of the trees at the foot of the mountain are dead. I'm afraid that in another half a month, many people in the Purple Moon Country will die due to lack of water.

"The king heard that there will be dark rivers under this earth, and some rivers have a lot of water, but the water of the dark rivers is abundant, and gradually it has come to the surface, and it has become the current stream and river.

No one knows where it is at the moment, so today I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, and when you go back, you will personally bring people to look for it. If this time it is not good to do anything again, and the people have no water to drink, they will kill you and use your blood to quench the thirst of those people! ”

Zi Yicheng's words were unceremoniously, most of these people were from Zi Yifeng's faction. He now finds an excuse to send out, as long as he is not in the capital. He didn't expect these people to really help him find any water source.

As early as when Doe said of the drought, he flew pigeons to pass on the book, so that people could reserve it. I didn't take it out now, I wanted to take the opportunity to cut off the branches of Zi Yifeng first. He was waiting now, waiting for the big fish of Zi Yifeng to be dropped.

The government offices in various parts of the Purple Moon Country, or rather, the cities and towns, he had already sent people to store a large amount of water. If you take out that water, you can also relieve the entire Purple Moon Country for ten days. According to his current estimates, those ordinary people can still resist for two or three days, and now it depends on him and Zi Yifeng, who can survive whom.

"Yes, the old minister and the others will immediately lead people to the mountains to look for it!" When they heard that they were going to cut off their heads and let their blood quench the thirst of the people, the old stubborns were so frightened that their legs went limp.

Compared to dragging a pampered body, life is still more important. It's nothing to be tired and save your life.

"Stand down!" Zi Yicheng rubbed the corners of his eyebrows again. After everyone retreated, Zi Yicheng beckoned, and Swift Shadow and Thunderbolt appeared in front of them.

"Xunlei, get ready, in two days, if there is no movement, send someone to send water. In addition, hurry up and find the dark river and the original waterfall source. In addition, this king heard Ziheng say that in the humid place at the foot of the mountain, dig deeper, and there will be water. Let people everywhere look for it, as long as there is hope, they must not give up. ”

"Yes, sir!" After Thunderbolt received the order, he flashed by, and there was a Swift Shadow left in front of him.

"Master, why don't you ask Miss Du and see if she has any other way." Xun Ying is the one with the highest martial arts around Ziyi City, and his martial arts are still above Ziyi City. Therefore, after sending everyone out, he was the only one who was left behind.

"Yi Yi can say everything, she will not hide anything from this king. The top priority is to make a heavy rain and irrigate my Great Purple Moon Country. Xunying, you should order that from today onwards, the water consumption of each palace will be halved! ”

The people outside the palace suffered, and they were in a state of no water to drink every day. Now in this Nuoda Palace, the concubines in each palace are still wasted, and there is leisure to water the flowers. Do they know how many people can be saved by the little water that is poured out?

"Master!"

"If they have an opinion, let them come to me. Now that Concubine Wan Guifei is already the Queen Mother of the West, let her take care of this harem. Don't be in this palace, I don't know the sufferings of the people, and I quarrel all day long for a little trivial thing. ”

Zi Yicheng looked at the concubines left by the former emperor, and his brain was big. According to his intentions, he sent those people out of the palace directly and went to the temple to lead them to practice. It was a great gift not to let them be buried with them at the beginning, and they were noisy.

"Yes, sir!" Xun Ying also had a headache, but in his opinion, the affairs of the harem really did not belong to the master. But now, too, in the Purple Moon Kingdom, there is no water to drink, and the people are dying of thirst. As the concubines of the former emperor of the Purple Moon Country, they should be used as an example to automatically reduce the amount of water used, instead of waiting for the master to speak.

Xun Ying brought the words to Concubine Wan, no, it was the Queen Mother of the West, and then left. The Empress Dowager of the West summoned her personal maidservant, and as soon as she asked about the rumors outside, she immediately ordered that the entire palace reduce the water demand in the past to one-third. The masters bathed once a day, and then bathed once every three days. The water used for combing in the morning and evening is used to water the flowers and wash the clothes, and it is resolute not to waste a single thing.

With this order, the entire palace was boiling. The Empress Dowager Dong (the former queen) came to Weiyang Palace with a group of people, and said as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sister Wan, what is your will today?" ”

"Sister, don't you know that the people of our Purple Moon Country are suffering?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, but did not take her in her eyes at all.

The woman in front of her once tried every possible way to ask for the life of her emperor. Now that her emperor is already the emperor, and she also has the regent's support behind her, she is not afraid of this woman.

"What does the two have to do with each other?"

"Sister Mo hasn't been in this palace for a long time, and she hasn't even figured out such a simple truth? The people of our Purple Moon Country are suffering, and we, as an example of a country, should not waste a single bit of water. Does my sister know how many people you bathe with water every day? Now, how many people are dying of thirst every day outside? ”

The Empress Dowager wanted to say that those people died of thirst what she had to do with her. But she couldn't say that. I am afraid that as soon as I say it and it flows out, it will inevitably cause public anger and be spit on by the people of the world. If it's serious, if it's not good, people will be burned alive. She still understands the truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat.

"Now that all the sisters have heard it, they must all know it, if it's okay, let's go back first!" Empress Dowager Xi glanced at everyone and then opened her mouth to send people.

Every move in this palace can't escape Ziyi City's eyes. When he learned the result of the treatment, he nodded with great satisfaction. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Wan is still sensible and knows how to preserve his throne. If she doesn't handle it well, the little emperor has such a mother, and he is destined to have no chance of the throne.

Just after this, a day later, rumors began to be heard in the capital. The little emperor is not the true son of heaven, so before he succeeded to the throne, there was a flood in the Purple Moon Country. Not long after he succeeded to the throne, another major drought began. This is God's instruction to them. As long as the little emperor reigns for one day, there will be a drought for one day.

The speed of the rumor spread very fast, and within a day, everyone in the entire capital knew about it, and it was spread by word of mouth. When the people, who were starving to death and thirsty, heard this, they began to become restless. On the streets of the capital, it is often seen that groups of people are making trouble, saying that the succession of the little emperor is against the sky.

After Zi Yicheng knew the situation, he personally took the little emperor to Xiangguo Temple to ask for rain. His trip was arranged by Xunying, and no one had told him before. When the people saw Ziyicheng come out with the little emperor to ask for rain, they all followed behind the horse, wanting to see if they could get rain.

The little emperor was extremely sensible and obedient, and after Zi Yicheng told him about the seriousness of the matter, he knelt under the scorching sun, pinched the three pillars of high incense in his hand, closed his eyes, and raised his head to face the sky, with a pious look on his face. This scene of the emperor begging for rain shocked everyone.

For a whole afternoon, the little emperor knelt inside, and everyone watched. I saw that the little emperor was drenched in sweat and his face was flushed, but he didn't make the slightest movement to get up. This move, invisibly, infected a lot of people.

Let the people who originally had a grudge against the little emperor feel that it is good to have such an emperor, at least he is sincerely for the people. Maybe God will be moved by the little emperor, and it will rain in a few days.

After the emperor left, the people also knelt down in the open space, praying to God that it would rain soon.

Zi Yicheng knew that his move was a success. The rumors spread by Zi Yifeng will be broken tomorrow. It's just that those that have been circulated can only wait until it really rains.

The rumors that Zi Yifeng released just now spread from mouth to mouth and increased the speed of rumors. I didn't expect Ziyi City to react so quickly, such a counterattack, beautiful is beautiful, but as long as it doesn't rain for a day, it can't suppress those raging rumors.

The sun still hangs high in the sky, scorching the earth. It's been half a year since the last time it rained in the Purple Moon Country.

At this time, Du Yi wore a gauze hat and held a handsome handsome and sat in the carriage. Looking through the curtain of the car, I looked at the fields, and as far as the eye could see, there were cracks, and there was no trace of water. As the carriage ran past, the dust kicked up on the ground made it difficult to see the way it came. All this in front of him makes it hard to believe that this arid land was once the rich and fertile soil of Fengshan Village.

The further the carriage went, the more severe the drought became. The trees on both sides of the road have withered. The handsome little pot friend blinked, lying on his mother's body, and looked out curiously. After a while, he pouted and said, "Mother, it's not good at all!" ”

Compared with Xiao Shuai's headless and brainless words, Du Yi still understands what he means. Xiaoshuai dislikes that this place is dry and he can't see anything, but who wants to do this?

I am afraid that in less than five days, a large number of people will die, and the people will riot. The weather is hot, and as soon as a person dies, if he is not burned and buried immediately, it is easy to cause an epidemic, and when the time comes, it will really be the death of the Purple Moon Kingdom.

The fields in Fengshan Village have been harvested by Erlang, and the family has enough water reserves. But even so, in terms of water use, everyone can save money. Men pour a little water every day and wipe their bodies. When a woman is at home and doesn't sweat, she changes it to three days. Bathing is a shameful waste for them. The poultry were already dealt with by the time the drought was spoken of by Dooy.

The people of Fengshan Village either moved away or went into the mountains to find water to drink. Some people simply live in the mountains and do not want to come out. If you run out of water to drink, it is better to find some non-poisonous herbs to chew than to die of thirst.

For Du Yi's arrival, Jiro and Midori Yanagi were very surprised. Now the situation outside, even if they don't go out, they all know a thing or two. Especially after Yang Xiashu came, everything he said made their hearts sink to the bottom in an instant.

As soon as Xiaoshuai entered the yard, he went to play with Xiaobao. Du Yi sat in the study, looking at the person in front of him, and there was only a piece of helplessness left in his eyes.

"Second brother, there is nothing to be busy here now, or I will send someone to escort you back to Liujia Village first!" If you hurry up and travel overnight, you can get there in four or five days, and it's not the same thing to be exhausted here.

Erlang has wanted to go home for a long time, but Du Yi's property here makes him a little uneasy. But now that there is a drought, there are only Xiaohuzi and Liu Dazhu at home, and he has been away from home for so long for the first time, so he can't help but want to go back and see. As for his mother, he is also relieved that he is with Du Yi Baimei and them.

After hearing Du Yi's words, he nodded without the slightest hesitation. He believed that since Doe had raised the issue, he had already thought it through.

"In that case, second brother, you pack up and go back as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the further back I go, the more displaced people will be, and it won't be safe to go back on the way. Ziding, you go and call a few people and escort them back. Green Willow, do you want to stay here, or go back? ”

When Erlang goes back this time, he must take Liniang and them with him. As for the green willows, Doe respects her. Now this place, let that Yang Xiashu take care of it first. If there is a green willow watching from the side, she is also relieved.

"Miss, the slave is willing to stay!" Green willow doesn't want to go, mainly because it's close to Fengcheng. Coupled with that Yang Xia tree, she is not at ease, she still has to help Du Yi take care of everything here.

"Okay, then you stay. Brother Yang, my second brother will leave today, and everything here will be arranged by Luliu, and you will assist her. Starting tomorrow, I will send someone to give you the soup at the gate of the city. Green Willow, you take your gauze hat and go there in person tomorrow! ”

"Yes, Miss!"

Yang Xiashu has known Du Yi's dual identity since he talked to Bai Mei last night. You also know what to do next. He's a smart man, and he knows that it's right to do more and talk less.

Yesterday, I only heard Du Yiqi's voice, but I didn't see him, so I was a little curious. When I heard this today, it seems that tomorrow's charity is not in the name of Du Fu, and when I think about the Du Ling clan I saw yesterday, I also have some understanding.

However, he was very grateful for Duyi's actions. If you can let the people drink a mouthful of porridge, it is equivalent to saving a person. This kind of good deed, he will definitely help with all his might.

"Second brother, you go clean up first! Brother Yang, tomorrow's affairs will trouble you a lot. If this rice and water are not enough, you can send someone to Du Mansion to find Baimei, and she will solve it. Remember, if someone asks about tomorrow's soup kitchen, they will say that it is Ling Fan. ”

If it weren't for the arrangement for Erlang and them to go back, Du Yi would not have handed over such a major event to Yang Xiashu. Yu Ziheng was so busy that he couldn't see anyone during this time. Yuan and the others, in addition to being busy with her industries in the entire Purple Moon Country, also have to be busy with the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the Royal Mansion, and they can't spare people. I hope this Yang Xiashu doesn't disappoint her, otherwise she will be blamed for being unkind.

"Yes, Miss!"

Du Yi took a deep look at Yang Xiashu, and then pulled the green willow back to her exclusive bedroom.

"Green willow, you pay more attention to tomorrow's affairs. Pay more attention to the Yang Xia tree, and as soon as you find something wrong, you will solve it. From today onwards, you will also pay more attention to that Liu Su Niang, do you know? Tomorrow I will let Ziding send people to watch in the dark, you just need to do it boldly. ”

"Yes, Miss! By the way, Miss, Mei Niang, she came to find the slave. What she meant, when the master left, told her. She has a lot of water and food, and if we need it, we can go to her and get it. ”
