Five Hundred and Fifty-Six: Drought, Refugees (2)

556: Drought, refugees (Part 2)

Facts have proved that Wei Ci's method is indeed very effective. Not only did it not cause panic among the people, it even made them more united. (%￥￥)

However, this method is ultimately a temporary solution. If God does not give face and rain one day, the drought will become more serious.

But compared with the scene of thousands of miles of dry fields outside, the situation in Fengyi County is much better.

Jiang Pengji's brain has returned to its peak state. It is no problem to explore underground water flow. Even without this, according to her previous experience, she can easily find a place to dig a well. With such a strong golden thigh, water shortage is not serious.

Jiang Pengji holds a honey popsicle in her mouth and mumbles, "It's so hot——"

The boiled water is mixed with thick honey, stirred and put into a special groove mold, and finally put into the "refrigerator" to make the edible popsicles now. The pure natural honey tastes sweet and makes the whole body feel comfortable, dispelling the heat in the body.

As for the "refrigerator"?

This is certainly not the refrigerator that the audience in the live broadcast room are familiar with, and it is not the one that Jiang Pengji bought from the mall... That shabby and worthless mall doesn't even sell a bathtub, let alone high-end furniture like a refrigerator. Even if there is one, where can I find a generator?

The "refrigerator" that Jiang Pengji mentioned is actually a refrigerator that she and Zhang Ping made, referred to as "refrigerator".

In ancient times, ice was mostly made by making ice bricks from winter ice and snow, which were then stored in ice cellars and taken out for enjoyment in the summer of the following year.

Jiang Pengji knew how to make ice, but she didn't know what the ice-making materials of this era were called. After following Zhang Ping and the others to figure it out for most of the day, she tried out the materials that could make ice. The audience in the live broadcast room said that the thing was called saltpeter, a good thing for making ice in ancient times.

Adhering to the principle that good things should be enjoyed by subordinates, Jiang Pengji had eaten enough honey popsicles, so he asked people to send the "refrigerator" he made to the other three counties to reward his subordinates who worked hard and made great contributions. They worked overtime in the hot summer, so they ate some popsicles to cool down.

"My Lord, water came out of three wells yesterday... As long as we survive this month, the weather should slowly turn cooler."

Zhang Ping is a technical geek. The person he admires most in his life is his Lord. Her ability to find wells is better than any experienced farmer. If you say where you can dig a well to get water, there will definitely be water. Otherwise, how can the people live so comfortably?

"Almost. I hope God will give me some face.

It will rain more before the autumn harvest. In this way, this year will not be considered a total failure."

Last year, Xiangyang County reclaimed a lot of wasteland, which was rented to the people in the county for farming. Even though there was such a shortage of water this summer, the people saved water to take care of the farmland. I don't know how much effort they have spent in the past few months, and they are trembling with fear to serve the crops in the fields.

If something goes wrong during this period, causing a year's hard work to go to waste, I don't know how the farmers will cry.

The two sat in the corridor and ate popsicles leisurely. There were two halves of watermelon beside them. After eating the popsicles, they used a spoon to dig and eat the watermelon.

When Feng Jin arrived, sweating all over, he saw this scene - his master was wearing a gray and brown robe, with his legs indecently crossed, his trouser legs rolled up to his thighs, his sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, his long black hair combed high into a big ponytail, two strands of bangs hanging on both sides of his cheeks, holding half a big watermelon in his arms, eating and drinking with a spoon in his right hand, Zhang Ping's image was not much better!

Feng Jin's face darkened instantly, and the live broadcast room saw his expression like this, and took the initiative to add psychological words.

Damn!

These two beasts!

Jiang Pengji was amused, Feng Jin was born in a noble family, and his family education was very good, so he would not curse his mother at every turn.

In front of Feng Jin, he carefully avoided the watermelon peels scattered on the ground, "My Lord..."

"Is there something wrong, Huaiyu?" Jiang Pengji looked up, with a piece of watermelon seeds on the corner of her mouth, looking very innocent. Zhang Ping knew his image, so he covered it with his big sleeves, quietly wiped his mouth, and sat up straight, but his stomach was a little full, and he felt a little bloated.

Feng Jin took a deep breath and told himself to be patient and not to get angry with such an unreliable lord.

He said, "I just received news that something big happened in the south. The second prince's wife An Yina died suddenly, and the cause of death was unknown."

Jiang Pengji's brain moved for a moment and remembered who An Yina was.

He shuddered all over and asked seriously, "Is An Yina dead?"

Who is An Yina?

Some viewers who followed the update intermittently didn't know, but those old viewers with a strong sense of crisis remembered it.

[Thunderstorm outside]: An Yina? Isn't that the princess of the Northern Frontier Imperial Court, who later married the second prince of Dongqing?

[The roof is leaking]: She's dead, why is Feng Jin so nervous, she's dead.

[Shen Jia]: Please, have some political awareness, okay? Although An Yina is only a princess of Beijiang, she is also the link between Beijiang and Dongqing. Beijiang has had ambitions for a long time. An Yina is a spy sent by Beijiang to stir up trouble. Now that she is dead, the three tribes of Beijiang have enough reasons to send troops to Dongqing. Look at the current state of Dongqing. Can it stop the iron cavalry of Beijiang?

Although they have not seen the power of the iron cavalry of Beijiang, in the ancient battlefield, the collision ability and lethality of cavalry have always been very strong. If the cavalry does not encounter a type of army that completely restrains them, they can be said to be invincible on the battlefield.

The cavalry has strong mobility. If they come to attack you and leave, can ordinary infantry with two legs catch up?

Not only that, in ancient times, battlefield operations relied heavily on military formations. Cavalry charges could collide with formations, cut enemy formations into pieces, and make it impossible for the army to finish off the enemy, so that the enemy's combat effectiveness could not be maximized and could only be cut and eaten away.

According to their understanding, Dongqing's terrain is mostly flat, which is very suitable for cavalry operations.

Once Beijiang sent troops and broke through the border defense line, Dongqing's hinterland would be left to them to run rampant!

What's even more terrible is that Dongqing's north is in chaos, droughts and wars are endless, and the south is fighting fiercely. At this time, if Beijiang launched a sneak attack under the banner of legitimacy, Dongqing would be speechless and could only swallow this breath back into its stomach.

The big man in the live broadcast room gave a popular science to the newbies.

It doesn't matter whether An Yina dies or not. What's important is that if she dies, Beijiang will have a legitimate excuse to send troops.

Jiang Pengji looked solemn. If Beijiang sent troops, her Fengyi County would not be able to stay out of it.

Feng Jin asked, "Lord, what should we do now?"

Internal and external troubles are really a headache.

Jiang Pengji said, "Originally, I wanted to slow down, build while encroaching, and give the people time to recuperate. Now it seems that time is running out. If we don't speed up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the Northern Frontier cavalry when they come-"

She wanted to wait for Fengyi County to recover before sending troops, and strive to recover the entire Wanzhou after the spring plowing next year, but now it seems that it won't work.

They have to prepare for the worst case scenario that the Northern Frontier will send troops to Dongqing next year!
