Chapter 116: Severe Drought (2)
It just so happens that the weather this year is a bit abnormally hot!
Fields in many places are gradually becoming short of water, and this irrigation technology is simply an excellent weapon to avoid severe drought.
Although many people were jealous of how a craftsman who was nothing could suddenly become someone of the same level as them.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans all jumped up directly.
"Urgent news! Drought has struck an area three thousand miles north of the Huai River."
There was a sudden thunder.
The explosion shook the entire silent court.
Many people began to think about it and began to talk about the harm caused by drought.
But no one can come up with even a little bit of solution to the drought.
Xiao Zhang looked at the couple in front of him indifferently.
Nor did he speak.
Just watch.
These people are really good at putting on a show!!
If you can't come up with any solution, you can only exaggerate.
I don’t know if those officials who were sent abroad have been well trained.
Xiao Zhang looked at the officials below, who were arguing with each other until their faces turned red, but he did not say a word and just watched quietly.
The sarcasm in his eyes was not concealed at all.
It's the same thing, it's a useless argument.
I don’t know what the significance of selecting these officials is.
Xiao Zhang sighed helplessly.
Although Xiao Zhang sighed in his heart, he still began to conform to this group of people.
Now it’s time to select the people to be sent to the disaster area.
At this time, there was no one to take over.
Because of this drought.
Extraordinary.
In the past, in order to earn some performance, this was undoubtedly the best.
But this time it is completely different. Almost all the old foxes have known the news in advance.
The area affected by the drought this time was more than ten meters deep and no water could be pumped out.
The water in the canal has completely dried up.
This is not at all unusual.
No one wants to take the blame this time.
What's more, it is said that there is an upright Prime Minister Wen over there.
It is basically impossible to make huge profits from it!
Whoever is willing to do this thankless task should do it!!
At this time, the Left Prime Minister stood up.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to redeem myself from my crimes and make meritorious contributions!"
Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Bearing a crime? What crime did the Prime Minister commit?"
"I am terrified that I have raised such an impolite daughter, and have offended the Goddess of Fortune. Perhaps the Goddess of Fortune has shown her wrath and is punishing me!"
Xiao Zhang's eyes darkened.
It seems that after a short period of peace and stability, these people have already begun to stir up trouble!!
Lady of Fortune, if there is really no substantial evidence, something that can be seen by the people to prove it, then all this is just empty talk!!
The food was promised, but no one saw it.
Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well, in that case."
The Left Prime Minister began to smile from below.
As long as this incident gets big enough, the Goddess of Fortune will no longer exist.
There is hope for my daughter, who has been under house arrest for so long, to be released.
Those people said, it’s almost done!!
The emperor will surely be fascinated by his beautiful daughter.
Thinking that this country will have a bit of his blood in it in the future, the Left Prime Minister couldn't help but get excited.
I began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Then it's better not to go, Prime Minister! After all, if you go and offend Lady Fortune again, the people of Dawn will suffer. It's better to find someone else!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Lady Fortune's father, the Right Prime Minister, is over there. How about..."
The speaker was Gan Ren, the newly appointed Minister of Works.
