After leaving from Qi Zhaodi's side, Lu Yan returned home with a heavy heart, thinking left and right, and always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Indeed, this year's rain is really too little, and even the water level in the river is much lower.

What can I do if this continues, I don't know if those officials know about it.

Si Si pointed to his chin with one hand, thinking there in distress.

If so, what should we do if the worst happens?

I haven't thought of a solution yet, but Sisi has already started, observing the weather every day, recording temperature and moisture.

However, this did not make her feel better, but she was depressed day by day.

For no other reason, in the week that Sisi observed, the temperature was rising every day, and there was no autumn feeling at all, and it never rained.

"It won't be long before the people will find out about it one after another." Si Si muttered to himself.

"Don't worry too much, it may rain in two days!" Lu Yan knew her concerns from Si Si, and her heart was also dignified.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now considered to be a strong country, there are also internal and external troubles, the old emperor's health is not very good now, and the prince is too proud and arrogant.

If there is any impact from this year's drought, I am afraid that next year's tax payment will not be good.

In particular, it is mentioned that the drought will open warehouses for grain release and reduce tax revenues.

Si Si was worried about the grain harvest and whether there would be a locust plague, while Lu Yan was more worried about the turmoil in the imperial court.

The two husbands and wives were worried about themselves, thinking of a solution at the same time, this year's rain was very low, and there might be a locust plague, which was also expected by Qin Tianjian.

This kind of natural disaster cannot be changed by manpower, they can only hurriedly pass the news to the emperor, but there is not much else to do.

"Huh!"

The emperor looked at the fold in his hand and sighed heavily.

In the event of a drought, the harvest will not be good, the harvest will not be good, and if the tax is not reduced, I am afraid that many people will be affected by it. If people die of starvation and do not receive timely assistance, it will not only cause panic among the victims, but also the possibility of plague!

It is impossible for natural disasters to occur alone, and there are countless man-made disasters under the natural disasters.

What can I do?

"Ahem, all Aiqing should have learned the news of Qin Tianjian, what do you think?"

Thinking to no avail, the emperor simply brought this matter to the court, let his courtiers discuss, and a group of Wencheng discussed and discussed, each holding their own opinions, and after a long time, there was no result at all.

The news of the endless dispute in the court over this matter was naturally known to Lu Yan, who was always paying attention.

"Eh, there's some trouble in this matter!" Bayi Chinese Network

Lu Yan has begun to deeply understand the weight of this year's drought.

Although it has not yet reached the most serious time, but now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the air is dry, there is no moisture at all, and going out is like roasting people dry.

And now is the time for the rice to set head, without sufficient water, there is no way to fill the grain, and the rice will not grow full.

Si Si and Lu Yan often went to the fields to see the situation, and the Zhuangzi used for farming in their own place was quite good, and there was a water source in the neighboring place, which was barely maintained, but in a slightly farther place, the water source was insufficient, and the Zhuangzi was not enough to do so.

Si Si quietly ran over to take a look again, grabbed a handful of rice ears, and twisted them gently, all of them were husks, and they hadn't started to pulp yet, and the outer husks were already yellow.

"It's going to be a big deal if it goes on like this." Si Si muttered to himself.

After some investigation, when he returned home, Si Si locked himself in the study, said hello to Lu Yan, don't come to him, and began to think in his mind.

I am also a high-end talent from the modern 21st century, and I have been studying for more than ten years, so I can't even solve these things, even if I can't solve them, it's good to be able to think of any way!

Although there has been no drought, there is still an uneven distribution of water sources, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Policy was born under this circumstance.

South-to-North Water Diversion ......

Si Si muttered thoughtfully, laid a piece of paper for himself, and the brush was stained with ink, and began to write it down while thinking about it, and wrote whatever he wanted.

When Si Si's hands were sore, and when he wanted to rest, he saw that it was already dark outside the window.

It's been so long, no wonder I'm so tired and a little hungry.

Si Si looked at what he had written out in the afternoon, nodded with satisfaction, got up from the chair and stretched, ready to open the door of the study and leave, and when he went out, he saw Lu Yan sitting in the corner.

"What are you doing sitting here? You can't be waiting for me all the time, are you? Si Si said in some surprise.

As soon as Si Si came back, he locked himself in the study, and asked himself not to disturb her.

Her somewhat abnormal appearance made Lu Yan very worried.

I didn't expect that the meal was over, but the person still didn't come out of the study, and Lu Yan was worried that something would happen to her, but she didn't dare to go in because of Sisi's instructions, so she could only sit at the door and wait, thinking that if there was no movement later, she would go in and see what the situation was.

"Daughter-in-law, you finally came out, are you hungry? I've already cooked my meal, how about I use a little? Lu Yan stood up, patted the dust on his body and said.

"Uh-huh!"

Si Si is a little overused now, he can't be hungry, he just thinks about having a good meal, and as soon as he gets to the dinner table, before Lu Yan can say anything, he begins to gobble it up.

After eating and drinking, Si Si put down his dishes and chopsticks, and finally had the heart to share with Lu Yan the results of his thinking all day.

"Come and see, come and see!" Si Si was very excited and pulled Lu Yan into the study, picked up the things he had written, handed them to him, and said, "Can you take a look?" I've been thinking about it all day! ”

"Huh? What is it? ”

Lu Yan glanced at Si Si with some suspicion, seeing that she looked proud, smiled helplessly, and looked at the things in her hand casually.
