First in Youzhou and Jizhou, Wang Jun and Liu Kun returned after the battle, and both of them happily held a banquet, and the generals and staff celebrated the expansion of their territory.

Wang Jun celebrated this celebration for a month, singing and dancing every day, and the most important thing was to take this opportunity to meet the officials of Youzhou and Qingzhou, and show them and his staff his wisdom and strength.

Only by getting them to agree with him will he go further, and it will be better for them to mention himself as king in the future.

So even if it's spring ploughing, he's not very good.

Spring ploughing, farmers plant the land every year, can they not know what to plant, how to plant? No matter how bad it is, there is still a county official, where can I worry about his assassination history?

So he didn't care about spring ploughing, even if some officials reported that the climate was abnormal this year, and the snow since the beginning of winter was about 30% less than in previous years, and since the beginning of spring, there was only one spring rain, he didn't think much about it, and only let the officials follow the routine.

Following the rules, officials can only get county orders to prepare for drought.

When the order was issued, it was too late for the county orders to come back to their senses from Wang Jun's celebration banquet, put down the matter of singing praises and virtues, and began to prepare for the organization of drought prevention.

The farmers have already ploughed their fields and planted their wheat, and it is too late to replace them with more drought-tolerant corn, beans and sorghum......

However, some places are not well organized, and a lot of manpower and material resources are spent in this regard, but they have encroached on the labor and time for watering the land, and the people are full of complaints.

After 70 days of no rain in Youzhou, this resentment broke out together with the fear of natural disasters, and people in Youzhou began to attack the county government over the fight for water;

And the situation in Jizhou is not much better than that of Youzhou.

Wang Jun is celebrating for a month, delaying the golden period, Liu Kun is different, singing, dancing and vocal music are routine operations, for him, every day is a banquet.

After laying down half of Jizhou, he asked people to build a channel for messaging, but he was not in a hurry, he always did things casually and chicly, and he did not urge the people below.

Therefore, the news of Jizhou was delivered very slowly, but fortunately, he began to deal with it as soon as he received the news.

After thinking about it, he also began to let people dig wells and canals to ensure the irrigation of farmland, but the news came and went, and Jizhou was only recovered, and the coordination of the officials was not very high, and the local people mostly obeyed the dispatch of the local squires and did not listen to his orders.

Moreover, bandits were rampant in various places, and Liu Kun did not send anyone to deal with them at all, so he gave orders in Jinyang, but the counties and counties in Jizhou went their own way and did not obey his orders.

The squires and officials everywhere felt that it would be a waste of manpower to overhaul the water conservancy at this time, so they only sent people to find a place to dig a well.

However, there are not many people who can dig wells, even fewer people who can find water, there is no effective organization, and it also consumes a lot of manpower, but it still can't get things done.

They found that when there was little rain this year, the wheat seeds had already been planted, and they missed the time to plant corn and beans when there was a lot of noise in various places to dig wells......

Most of the spring wheat is planted in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, because the winter is too cold, and it is not suitable for planting winter wheat here.

Wheat is more drought-tolerant than rice, but far less than sorghum, corn and beans.

Zhao Hanzhang remembers this major natural disaster in history and has been preparing for it since the year before last. ….

Every year, there is the task of dredging ditches and building water conservancy channels, and several teams of well-digging experts are organized to combine capable people who can find water sources.

After conquering Luoyang last year, she asked Fu Tinghan to recruit people who know how to find water sources and watch the weather in the name of the Ministry of Industry, and there are even Taoist priests who are down-and-out but can read feng shui.

These people followed the well drilling team to look for water sources and dig wells, regardless of gains and losses, all the money, food and travel expenses were paid by Zhao Hanzhang, and she also gave them a high salary every month, promising that their children could go to schools and workshops to study and work in the future.

It can be described as a good salary.

Last year, Zhao Hanzhang liked to chat with Xiahou Yan and Zhang Xie, invited them to watch the sky at night, and also asked Zhao Zhongyu to consult the officials of the imperial court Qin Tianjian, and when he went to see Fu Yi at the beginning of the year, he also asked many old farmers, and the answer was that he was afraid that there would be a drought this year.

Therefore, as early as before spring ploughing, Zhao Hanzhang wrote a letter to remind Liu Kun, asking him to prepare more other drought-tolerant grains and prepare for drought prevention in advance.

But at that time, Liu Kun was dealing with Liu Cong and Wang Jun's front and back attacks in Jinyang, and even survival was a problem, where would he care about spring plowing a few months later?

When the war was over, Zhao Hanzhang wrote another letter to remind him, and asked him if he had prepared grain, and if it was not enough, she could fund some.

Liu Kun gladly accepted it at that time, but he sent the grain he received to the people of Jinyang. Therefore, the northern part of Jizhou, which was the hardest hit, was not prepared at all, and naturally there was no material support.

On the contrary, the situation of the territory occupied by the ancestors in the south is better, first, it has two more spring rains than some places in the north; Second, when Zu Ti was ploughing in the spring, he ceased fighting and organized the people to dig wells to fight drought in an orderly manner; Third, Zhao Hanzhang also supported him in a lot of drought-resistant grains, and he focused on the people planting them.

This year they have reduced the number of acres planted with spring wheat and increased the number of acres of drought-resistant crops such as beans, corn and sorghum.

Shi Le, who also stopped fighting for territory with Zu Ti because of spring ploughing, saw their operation, and immediately purchased a batch of bean seeds and asked the people under his jurisdiction to chase the seeds.

"Last winter was very cold, but there were five snowfalls, two of which were still very small, and they melted in one night, and since the beginning of spring, there has been less rain and snow," Shi Le said: "Zhao Hanzhang has a lot of people in her hands, she must have seen that there will be a drought, so she asked Zu Ti to reduce wheat sowing early, we can't take back the wheat that has been planted, but we can chase the beans, if the drought is really so serious, we can also protect the harvest."

The officials below should also pay attention to the affairs of the people's watering.

Zu Ti happened to occupy their upstream, and they thought that he would cut off the water, but they didn't expect Zu Ti not only did not take the initiative to cut off the water, but also came forward to mediate the water disputes between the upstream and downstream, and persuaded the people upstream to boil the water, so that the downstream could also irrigate.

When the official reported the matter, Shi Le was greatly heartbroken, and said with some jealousy: "Zhao Hanzhang is like a tiger with wings when he gets such a person."

Shi Le sent two generals, both of whom were defeated under Zu Ti, and it was natural to see that all the armaments in Zu Ti's army were from the Zhao family's army.

The Zhao family army is well-armed, the most humane of which is its spear and broadsword, Shi Le was born as a bandit, and the weapons in the early stage basically relied on looting, and later Liu Yuan sent some, which were also very ordinary.

Now he collects his own taxes and builds his own weapons, but the talents under his command are not as good as Zhao Hanzhang, and the weapons he fights are far inferior to the weapons of the Zhao family.

Zhao Hanzhang's command was part of the reason why Zhao Hanzhang was able to defeat the brave and warlike Shile army and the Hun army several times, and its weapons and equipment were also part of the reason.

Therefore, the front line reported that almost everyone in the Zu Li army could have a weapon from the Zhao family, and he knew that this was a nail buried by Zhao Hanzhang.

Now, I'm afraid only Jin Ting doesn't know yet, right?

Shi Le sneered, planning to tell him and Gou Xi this "good news" when the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom sacrificed to the heavens on the summer solstice, and the scene would definitely be more interesting at that time.
