Chapter 279: Start to deal with disasters (second update, please give me a monthly vote)

After dealing with Ma Su's problem, Liu Feng felt very happy. He went to Xiao Qiao for lunch. Thinking about it, Xiao Qiao handed over his body to him before going to the battle.

Liu Feng couldn't help but want to have a warm heart with Xiao Qiao, but the sky was hot at noon and the temperature was a bit high. It was warm and made people drowsy.

In addition, I had a hangover and indulge in lust last night, which had some sequelae. Liu Feng had to sleep in Xiao Qiao's room for a night.

After sleeping for less than half an hour, Liu Feng woke up. His strong body made Liu Feng look energetic again after a short rest.

After waking up, Liu Feng's thoughts about having warmth with Xiao Qiao became stronger and stronger.

But after asking the maid, I found out that Xiao Qiao had fallen asleep in the next room.

In the room, Xiao Qiao was lying on the side of the bed, covered with a thin quilt. Her eyes were closed and her face looked normal, but after closer inspection, she could still notice a little pale.

Liu Feng stood beside the bed, looked at Xiao Qiao's slightly weaker look than a normal person, and sighed.

People are like beautiful flowers, and people like Xiao Qiao should be more pity.

After thinking about it, Liu Feng extinguished the idea of ​​finding Xiao Qiao and ordered the maid to prepare more blood-replenishing food for Xiao Qiao to eat and use.

Then he left the room.

After leaving the house, Liu Feng forced Xiao Qiao to erase the little Qiao in his mind.

Begin to think about the important things.

Cao Ren's affairs have been dealt with, and specialized personnel are dealt with by the incorporation of the army and the resettlement of the people. I believe that after a period of time, it can be digested.

The wedding has also been left to Jiao Xiang to handle.

The rest are severe droughts and floods. First, severe droughts, followed by floods, causing turmoil in the entire region south of the Yangtze River.

Even if Liu Feng was beaten to death, he would not forget this matter or ignore it.

He prepared a lot for this, and now there are millions of stones of food in the granary, which is the most important part.

Zhang Dao, Xu Tian, ​​and Fei Guan are still trying their best to purchase grain for Liu Feng.

Zhang Dao and Xu Tian purchased private grain. Although it was small, it was still continuously purchasing. However, Fei Guan's acquisition was coming to an end.

Jingzhou is so big, there are only so many powerful people and so on. Fei Guan has been charged for several months, and it is almost the same.

However, preparing food can only make a fortune, but it is not enough to survive the disaster. Liu Feng felt that he should do something.

For example, drilling some deep wellbores can help people survive disasters during severe droughts. This is not enough to completely solve them, but at least it can alleviate the drought.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng immediately found Kou Shui, prepared the carriage, and planned to go out of the city to investigate the situation.

Kou Shui always lives in the prefect's mansion. During the day, he is responsible for the defense of the prefect's mansion and at night he is instructed to take charge of the defense. He is on call.

After Liu Feng greeted him, Kou Shui immediately prepared the carriage.

A carriage parked outside the mansion gate, and more than ten guards, including Kou Shui, stood.

After Liu Feng got on the carriage, Kou Shui gave the order and the team headed south of the city.

Soon after, the team left the city. After leaving the city, they continued to walk for a while. A pastoral scene appeared in Liu Feng's eyes.

There are orange millet and some beans everywhere. In the near future, it should be the time to harvest.

Seeing this abundant food situation, Liu Feng became in a good mood.

This year is a good weather. The harvested food should be able to survive next year's natural disaster. If you subsidize some food, you can persist until the autumn harvest of the next year.

In this era, agriculture only produces once a year.

The food collected this year must be eaten until next autumn. Similarly, this year has good weather and good harvests, but if there is no harvest next year, you must be eaten until next autumn.

Liu Feng knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on, so he needed a subsidy.

Fortunately, this year is a bumper harvest, and taxes can make the official warehouses of various counties. When the natural disaster comes, people have no food to eat, so they can directly open warehouses to provide relief.

In comparison, Sun Quan may be in trouble.

On the carriage, a trace of gloating flashed in Liu Feng's eyes. Liu Feng always paid attention to the situation in Jiangdong. The war was everywhere, and there were also consecutive victories.

I have gathered countless Shanyue people.

He bought 300,000 shi of grain from the past. It is estimated that the bottom is coming soon. The grain purchased this year will be filled in and wiped out the bottomless pit of Shanyue.

There are only a little left for disaster relief next year. Then Shanyue prisoners also need to eat food, and if they don’t eat food, they may rebel.

Natural disasters and human disasters are so hot and painful.

In comparison, the situation in Jingzhou may be better. After all, there is no war, and the official warehouse is considered prosperous. This year is another bumper harvest.

But he must be very nervous. At that time, Liu Feng will take ruthless measures, regardless of whether the person in charge is his father-in-law or not. Liu Feng treats Jingzhou as Liu Cong's, and he can make money as much as he should.

As I thought about it, the carriage soon arrived outside a large village.

The village is very big, and at first glance there are countless houses. There are a few kids playing with mud near the entrance of the village.

Liu Feng planned to instruct Kou Shui to go into the village to see the situation, but he saw an old man with white hair coming ahead. Liu Feng was happy, got off the carriage and went up to meet him.

"I've seen the old man." Liu Feng bowed to the old man.

The old man was shocked by Liu Feng. After living for most of his life, he only saluted a man like Liu Feng and a man. He had never seen a man like Liu Feng saluted him.

But at least he was so old that the old man quickly calmed down. He bent down and fisted and said, "Young Master is polite."

Liu Feng smiled slightly, looked up at the village, and after a moment, he asked, "I saw that the village is very big and it seems that there is no end. I was curious, so I stopped the old man and wanted to ask how many people there are."

Liu Feng is so good at this, he looks a bit like a young man from aristocratic family who has never experienced anything.

"Five or six hundred people." The old man answered casually without doubting him.

"How is the harvest this year?" Liu Feng continued to ask with a smile.

"Thank you to Liu Jiangxia's blessing, the harvest this year is very good. Even by next autumn, every family will have surplus grain." When talking about this harvest, the old man said with a smile.

What does this harvest have to do with me? Liu Feng was surprised and asked immediately.

Only then did I learn that the old man’s village was a tenant from the three surnames of Jiangxia, and the entire village was full of tenants. The tenants did not have to pay taxes to the government, but just paid grain to the owner.

The three surnames of Jiangxia are quite talented. When the harvest is good, they will collect more grain. When the harvest is bad, they will collect less grain. This will result in the tenants living, but their families will be poor.

Now that Liu Feng has wiped out the three surnames of Jiangxia, these people have been liberated. In the future, they can only pay food to the government, and the taxes set by Yiji are relatively small.

Therefore, after this bumper harvest, every household will have a grand occasion of surplus.

When it comes to Liu Jiangxia, let alone this old man, even people from the village are respected very much.

Liu Feng just smiled and could not see any emotional fluctuations. Kou Shui, who was behind Liu Feng, looked at Liu Feng with a proud look. His son was able to fight against powerful enemies, and his literary talent could govern the county, and was deeply loved by the people.

"I wonder, is there a well in the village?" Liu Feng smiled and heard the old man say it, and then he asked about the purpose of coming here today.

"Yes, about three or four." The old man replied casually.

"Is it a deep wellbore or a shallow well?" Liu Feng asked again.

"Haha, I saw that the young master was a person who had never left the house." The old man smiled and looked at Liu Feng happily.

"How can I tell?" You can tell the depth by asking a question? Liu Feng wondered.

"Haha, Jingzhou has been in good weather for decades. I have only seen floods and never droughts. What's the use of deep wellbores?" the old man said with a smile.

Liu Feng suddenly realized that the water system near Jiangxia is well developed, the weather is good, and there are rarely droughts.

"Thank you for your advice, the old man." Liu Feng bowed to the old man with his fists.

"Young Master is so polite." The old man had to say another word about Liu Feng's politeness, and then said, "I still have farm work to work, so I will say goodbye first."

"The old man is going well." Liu Feng raised his fist and said.

"Hehe." The old man walked away with laughter.

Liu Feng also withdrew his gaze and looked a little excited. The severe drought in Jiangnan is so serious and has been recorded by history. The source may be here.

Good weather and no deep wellbore.

In ancient times, drilling wells was a time-consuming task, especially deep wells. If you need specialized talents to drill wells, how much does it cost to fill each well?

When the drought comes, the government realizes it is too late to dig the well again. Moreover, some governments may not add money to dig wells for the people.

Now, order Jiang Wan in advance to find professional well drillers and dig some deep wells in each village. This can alleviate the drought.

Jiangxia, Jiujiang, Changsha.

Thinking in his mind, Liu Feng immediately ordered Kou Shu to set off and return to the prefect's mansion.

After returning to the prefect's mansion, Liu Feng immediately wrote a document and ordered Jiang Wan, Ma Liang and Xu Zheng to start digging the well. Liu Feng was still afraid that they would be confused about his intentions because of the good weather this year. He took it lightly and did not work hard.

Therefore, the words Liu Feng used were very tough. It is necessary to let them do their best.

After doing all this, Liu Feng let out a long sigh.

Since you understand the future, you must make money and minimize your losses.
