Chapter 14 Natural disasters are ruthless

After receiving the news from Yuan Luqian, Pei Min felt a little heavy.

Yuan Luqian was the commander of the Jiedushi, responsible for inspecting the situation of the 19th Army in Longyou. However, Pei Min had just taken over Longyou, and the commander of the 19th Army in Longyou gathered too far in Shanzhou.

Pei Min's request has not been implemented yet. Yuan Luqian has no reason to go on a mission. While staying in Shanzhou to share Zhang Jiuling's work, he was also instructed by Pei Min to pay attention to the drought in Longyou.

The climate is abnormal and it doesn't rain for a long time. The drought comes, and it cannot hide the experience of the people of the old Taoism. People from all over the world are becoming more and more panic. People from all walks of life go to temples, temples and rivers to beg for rain day and night.

However, it is of no use.

The so-called heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as straw dogs. The heaven and earth are ruthless, so how could the rain beg for?

The drought is always here!

Inevitably!

The canal began to break off water.

Pei Min put down the things in his hand and asked with concern: "How is the wheat in the field?"

Yuan Luqian didn't care about his stinking sweat, poured himself a glass of water, took several sips, and said worriedly: "I just came back from the field, and the situation is not optimistic at present. The wheat in Longyou is planted with no-till and semi-arid, and has a certain drought resistance. That's true, some wheat still withered. Now the Great Heat has not arrived. However, the Great Heat is coming, and the situation is worrying."

Pei Min has a certain level of experience in government affairs after Yaozhou's experience, but Yaozhou's development is completely separated from farming and has no knowledge of farming.

Seeing Pei Min's face ignorance, Yuan Luqian also introduced: "Longyou's land is barren, with many mountains and hills and less water, so it is not easy to cultivate. Non-tillage and semi-arid planting can reduce the number of land preparation times, which can eliminate unnecessary labor for wheat fields that are difficult to cultivate and easily damaged. At the same time, it can maintain groundwater as much as possible. This tillage method greatly reduces the requirements of wheat for water sources, and can withstand drought, but being able to withstand drought does not mean that water is not needed..."

Pei Min still seemed to understand, but he understood a little. Before the real heat of the country, even the drought-resistant wheat in Longyou could not bear it. If it continued, it would be afraid that the grain would be lost.

After pondering for a while, Pei Min stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to the governor of Shanzhou."

Yuan Luqian said in surprise: "No, Brother Pei, you are a military minister. You are in charge of the military affairs of the 12 states in Longyou, but you cannot control the government affairs."

Pei Min said: "I know and understand. I don't want to interfere either. I just want to do something and help, instead of being indifferent here and waiting for a drought to happen and nothing can be done. Even if I use soldiers, I can pick up some water and irrigate them."

Yuan Luqian glanced at Pei Min and nodded silently.

Li Linfu interrupted at this time, "In fact, it is legitimate to interfere. With the relationship between the Duke of the Kingdom and Your Majesty. Just write a letter to Your Majesty to let Your Majesty know the situation in Longyou, and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to let the military envoys of Longyou cooperate with the governors from all over the country to help with disaster relief. The Duke of the Kingdom does not need to take action personally or come forward, and it is also the famous name of Your Majesty. Naturally, people will not say that the Duke of the Kingdom is so dedicated to winning people's hearts."

Pei Min glanced at Li Linfu and praised: "What Staff Li said is reasonable!"

No matter how bad Li Linfu was in history, his skillfulness is indeed very powerful.

During these days, as a staff officer in the military, he did a lot of practical things, and most of the things he got were done beautifully and could not find any mistakes.

So much so that Pei Min wanted to mess with him, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while.

This time, I have made suggestions to take into account all the overall situation.

Pei Min stopped hesitating and immediately wrote a letter to Li Longji, leaving him aside, and proposed to use the 19th Army as the vanguard of disaster resistance, and ordered people to speed up and send them to the capital.

Drought is inevitable, and the court is already actively preparing for disaster relief.

When Pei Min's letter was delivered to Li Longji, the Li family Sanlang smiled and said, "This Jingyuan, why can you avoid any suspicion in front of me? It is rare that he is willing to share some of his responsibilities. It is his wish."

As he said that, he passed the order and ordered Pei Min, the governor of Longyou, to lead the envoy of the 19th Army to take the initiative to contact the governors of various states and cooperate with the governors to fight disaster relief.

Pei Min received this sage edict and immediately found the governor of Shanzhou.

Wu Hua, the governor of Shanzhou, was also discussing the drought with the chief of the governor's office and many Gongcao, and was so anxious that he was sweating heavily.

When Wu Hua was a little surprised to learn that Pei Min was asked for a meeting, he asked someone to welcome Pei Min in.

"Have you met the Duke!"

Everyone saluted Pei Min and said hello.

Although Pei Min does not care about government affairs, his status is transcendent in Longyou.

"You guys are discussing drought!" Pei Min asked straight to the point.

Wu Hua's face looked a little ugly.

The surrounding Changshi and Gongcao also showed displeasure.

The Longyou Jiedushi interferes in political affairs as a taboo.

Pei Min hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand everyone. Your Majesty has an order to lead the 19th Army of Longyou to cooperate with the governor of the 12 states of Longyou to provide disaster relief. This is Your Majesty's handwriting. I will not interfere in your administration, but I just do my part to the victims of Longyou to do my best."

Looking at the rebellious expressions of the surrounding officials, Pei Min was also secretly angry. If it weren't for the victims, he would have left long ago.

After reading the handwriting, Wu Hua's expression calmed down, and gave his seat to Pei Min, and said with a smile: "With the cooperation of the Longyou Army, disaster relief will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

Pei Min was not polite to sit down in the vacant seat Wu Hua was not polite, listening to them discussing how to deal with the current disaster.

As the governor of a state, Wu Hua still has some skills and proposed emergency strategies to amplify and protect the young people.

The so-called enlargement and smallness actually means giving up large areas of fields, keeping a small number of fields close to water sources, and being able to open canals to divert water.

Listening to their discussions, Pei Min felt powerless.

It is said that man conquers nature, but in the face of the glorious power of heaven, how small is human power?

Faced with this drought and the power of nature, humans have no choice but to do anything. What Wu Hua and his friends call is actually a solution?

Compared with the entire Longyou particle that has no harvest, it can save some harvests and is full of helplessness.

Pei Min did not interrupt Wu Hua and the others' discussion, he knew that Wu Hua had no decision-making mistakes.

All the Longyou Army joined, and in the face of natural disasters, they just wanted to protect more land.

A drop in the bucket!

Even so, Pei Min still mobilized the entire Longyou Army to actively participate in the disaster relief strategy of opening rivers and canals, diversion of water sources, and amplifying the small-scale disaster relief strategy.

I just hope to protect some crops that the people have planted with great difficulty as much as possible.

"Puff!"

Pei Min dug heavily with a hoe, lifted up a large piece of soil, wiped off the sweat from his face, and moved his sore and tired arms. This was the first time he danced a hoe with the previous life. He couldn't use skill to dig with brute force. With just a cup of tea, the arm could not stand it.

"Duke, why bother to do it yourself!" Wu Hua advised from the side.
Chapter completed!
