Chapter 187 Prepare for the Great Drought(1/2)

"Your Highness, Uncle Tang, are you two overestimating me?"

Zhu Zian bowed his hand slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He is just a little Taoist priest, not a god. Perhaps he can become an unqualified prophet with the help of his previous life experience.

However, in the face of natural disasters such as severe drought, he was just an ordinary Taoist priest.

"well!"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao could only sigh inwardly, and at the same time, some disgust appeared on his face.

These days, I have always subconsciously thought in my heart that my second brother is omnipotent. But I forgot that my second brother is also a Taoist priest who is as big as me.

As for Tang He, he sat on the lounge chair with a dull expression, silently eating the grapes and melon pieces brought by Xuan Pingzi.

One bite at a time, without interruption.

When he thought of the coming drought, a deep look of fear flashed through Tang He's eyes.

It seems that the prehistoric disaster brought about by the drought more than ten years ago has appeared before my eyes again.

The whole world is full of loess, without a trace of green vegetation. There are even people who change their lives to eat...

Suddenly, Tang He stood up directly, clasped his fists with both hands, and bent down deeply at Zhu Zi'an.

"Zi'an, you must have a way! A severe drought must not be allowed to happen, especially the Ming Dynasty has just been established this year..."

"Uncle Tang!"

Zhu Zi'an's expression changed drastically.

Even Zhu Biao, who was beside him, looked surprised and had never experienced the horror of the drought. He could not think of Tang He's mood at this moment.

"Zi'an, you must not let the drought come. If you go up the mountain and ask the old god?"

Tang He stared at Zhu Zi'an with a plead on his face.

Zhu Zi'an is the standard for eating soft but not hard.

This scene made Zhu Zi'an feel a little unbearable.

He hurriedly said: "Uncle Tang, a severe drought is a natural disaster and is the result of the natural climate and cloud and rain movement.

Faced with such natural disasters, even teachers can do nothing. However, you can make some preparations in advance to reduce the harm caused by droughts!"

"And, the drought is just my prediction now. No one can guarantee that the drought will come. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, God will suddenly rain, and the drought will be relieved!"

"I would like to ask Zi'an to tell me about the way to relieve it!"

Tang He said unmoved and firmly.

"All right!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zi'an sighed softly and said, "Uncle Tang, it has been a long time since the spring plowing has passed, and many people have nothing to do. Therefore, you can organize a group of people to dig wells! Then, raise more chickens and ducks..."

"Dig a well?" Tang He thought to himself.

"There are many water systems around Yingtian, and the groundwater must be abundant. Draw more well water. If there is a drought, it will be more useful." Zhu Zi'an replied.

"As for raising chickens and ducks, while the fields are still green, you can put the chickens and ducks in the wild to find food. If a drought comes, the chickens can not only be used as reserved food, but may also be of some use after the drought!"

"After we go back, we will discuss these things with Li Shanchang, Shan Anren, Yang Siyi and others."

Tang He nodded quickly and said.

Zhu Biao, who was standing beside him, nodded solemnly.

"There is another thing. Your Highness and Uncle Tang can also make some preparations!"

As soon as he said it, Zhu Zi'an wanted to say everything in his heart before he could stop, otherwise he would be so nervous.

"Yingtian City and the surrounding counties are all adjacent to the Yangtze River and Huaihe River water systems. You can dig more reservoirs, store more water, and raise some fish in the water. Or you can dig more ditches, and then dig some small ditches between each field. While the Yangtze River and Huaihe River are still abundant, water more fields!"

“Dig a trench?”

Tang He was very familiar with this matter. Since Zhu Yuanzhang entered Yingtian City, he has always advocated that people should dig more ditches.

"right!"

Zhu Zi'an nodded and said, "However, Uncle Tang must send a honest and dedicated minister to supervise the construction and digging of canals in person!"

"Is Zi'an afraid that those officials will not do their best?"

Tang He frowned and said.

"It's not my own land. If there is no sufficient benefit, no one will really do his best!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zi'an curled his lips and said.

"Don't worry, the prince has issued the prince's order. When the emperor is not in Yingtian City, the censors of our inspectors will definitely investigate and rectify the rules!"

Tang He changed his image as a good old man and said with a murderous look on his face.

As long as it can reduce the harm caused by severe drought, it is what Tang He thinks is the most important thing. If anyone dares to drag him down, Tang He will let him know that Tang Dashui’s iron blood.

Even Li Shanchang is no exception.

Thinking viciously in his heart, Tang He and Zhu Biao replied to the palace with a thoughtful look on their faces.

Even the refrigerator that made the two of them secretly envious for a long time was forgotten.

"Wanxi, go and general Li Prime Minister, Liu Zhongcheng, and all the six masters have been invited!"

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Zhu Biao turned around and shouted to Wanxi who was following him.

"yes!"

Wanxi responded, then turned around and ran aside.

Soon, not long after Zhu Biao sat down, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shan Anren, Yang Siyi and the ministers of the six ministries all walked in in a hurry.

"I'm here to pay homage to the Crown Prince!"

"Sir, please get up!"

Zhu Biao quickly stood up and said with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, without waiting for the members to ask questions, he said directly: "This time, I call you all, and it is an extremely important thing!"

"Please make it clear!"

Li Shanchang hurriedly bowed and asked.

The ministers also looked at Zhu Biao with confusion on their faces.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister and all the adults realize it? Since the spring plowing has been completed, Yingtian City has not had a single raindrop again. What makes me worry even more is that the temperature in Yingtian City is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the speed is very strange!"

Zhu Biao said with a serious face.

"Your Highness, the climate this year is really weird!" Li Shanchang hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Report to Your Highness, the entire Jiangbei of Henan, the nearby Sichuan Province, and the surrounding roads and counties are also so unusual!"

Yang Siyi, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also reported heavy reports.

"this……"

At this moment, Liu Bowen, who had not received much news, and the Minister of Rites and other ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and Rites, all looked solemn.

Such a large-scale rain and the weather was so hot that all the ministers felt something was wrong.

"Does Your Highness suspect that this situation is a sign of a severe drought?"

At this time, Liu Bowen, who was beside him, bowed his hands with a worried look on his face.

“That’s right!”

Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Zhu Biao's face.

Then, his face was full of solemnity.

"This strange situation has been going on for more than a month. Compared with the tender seedlings in the fields, the crops and seedlings in the fields have not grown. If it doesn't rain, there will be a severe drought in the world!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen and other ministers changed wildly.

drought!

Since ancient times, it has been the most feared thing for everyone.

Moreover, in the entire Wenhua Hall, except for Zhu Biao and Wan Xi who were serving on the side, all the ministers also experienced the severe drought that swept the world in the third year of Zhizheng.

Therefore, a group of ministers could better understand the horror of drought than Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, I suggest that you should summon all the great masters and masters from all over the world to Yingtiancheng to ask for rain! Only in this way can you avoid the arrival of drought!"

Li Shanchang hurriedly bowed and suggested.

In response to this, the six ministers agreed with each other and bowed their hands repeatedly, saying, "Your Highness, what Li Prime Minister said is so true. I hope your highness will order to summon all the great masters and a group of masters to follow the sky and ask for rain to avoid drought!"

"I will teach you to do this with Lord Qian!"

Although Zhu Biao disagreed in his heart, he nodded and said.

Deep in my heart, I also have a glimmer of hope.
