Chapter 602

After arriving in Henan Province, Zhang Xiu made an inspection tour. Compared with the drought in Guanzhong, Luoyang and other places under the active management of the government, it is better, there is no big trouble.

Although it is close to the forces of all parties, there is no dispute. When Zhang Xiu saw that He'nan Yin was not in great trouble, she turned around and went to Hanoi county.

Hanoi Prefecture is also facing severe drought.

After arriving in huaixian County, Zhang Xiu met Hu Zhao, the prefect of Hanoi.

In the study, the guest and host sit down.

Zhang Xiu inquired: "Kong Ming, what's the drought like in Hanoi county?"

Hu Zhao looked very calm and explained: "report back to my Lord. When he found that it had not rained for a long time, he had already sent orders to the county officials to prepare for the drought."

"There are orders from Chang'an and funding support behind. The whole Hanoi county relies on bobbins to get water, irrigate it into ditches and flow it to all parts of the county. For the time being, there is no big problem for people and animals."

"As for the seedlings in the field, we can only ensure that they are close to the water source, and the water and soil are flat and dense. We can't take care of some remote places. "

"Besides, the humble position has filled all the granaries. There is no shortage of grain in the granary of Hanoi Prefecture for the time being. Once the price of grain rises, humble officials will let the government sell grain to stabilize the price of grain. "

Hu Zhao is very confident, said: "this year's drought, although fierce, but humble will deal with this matter, will not make a big mess."

"That's good!"

After hearing Hu Zhao's words, Zhang Xiu smiles.

In fact, both Sima Lang and Hu Zhao are capable people. As for Xun Si under Sima Lang's command, that is a rare phenomenon, not everyone.

This is the strength of Zhang Xiu.

He believed in Sima Lang, just as Zhang Xiu believed in Hu Zhao's ability.

In the face of drought, everyone will work hard to solve the current crisis.

Hu Zhao changed his words and said in a deep voice: "in fact, it's just the drought, I think it's easy to solve. Natural disasters are easy to resist, but man-made disasters are not. "

Zhang xiudao: "how to say?"

Hu Zhao replied: "nowadays, with the continuous drought, many people all over the world believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and hope to pray for rain from some alchemists. I once met a village man who believed that the so-called sorcerer and alchemist used a six or seven-year-old girl to throw it into the river to sacrifice to Hebo, so as to let Hebo rain. "

"If it's not for my humble duty, I happen to meet her when I'm going around, and the little girl will die."

"Such things happen one after another."

Hu Zhao said: "in the aspect of sorcery, even if the government orders, it's useless. It's hard to cut off the flow of alchemists. Most of the alchemists, in particular, are for money. There are very few people who really ask for immortals. "

Zhang Xiu frowned.

Eyes, but also a glimmer of dignified.

Huang Tiandao is just supported by the three families. It's easy to get rid of him.

However, it is difficult to solve the problems of alchemists and warlocks.

Because the area is too wide, not only in Guanzhong and Liangzhou under Zhang Xiu's rule, but also in Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places, but in every state in the world, there are innumerable alchemists, and there are innumerable alchemists who rely on the theory of gods and ghosts to fool people.

It's hard to stop.

In fact, even in later generations, Zhang Xiu has seen the power of science. Under the scientific system, she can't put an end to the theory of gods and monsters. Even dignitaries believe in gods and monsters, let alone in today's era.

This is a very difficult problem to solve.

Zhang Xiu looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Zhong Da, do you have a solution?"

"No!"

Sima Yi shook her head.

In fact, even Sima Yi himself was in awe of the alchemists.

The vast majority of people do.

Hu Zhao said: "Lord, after careful consideration of this matter, there is a solution."

Zhang xiudao: "how to solve it?"

Hu Zhao replied, "we can only get to the bottom of the matter, because there are real alchemists in this world. These people, focusing on the search for immortals, asked. As far as I know, Yu Ji and Zuo CI are real Taoist masters and real alchemists. If we can find such people and let them come forward to co-ordinate the alchemists in Guanzhong, the rest of them can be expelled. "

Zhang xiudao said: "it's a good choice to find the people like Yu Ji and Zuo CI you said and let them submit to me. There is a certain possibility of such a person's submission. I will settle this matter after I return to Chang'an. Because this is not a matter of one county, but a problem that exists all over the world. It is not easy to cure the disease. "

Hu Zhao said: "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu changed her words and asked, "what's Yuan Shao doing in the north?"

"No!"

Hu Zhao replied: "Yuan Shao and Gong sun Zan in the north are in a stalemate for the time being. In particular, today's Gongsun Zan expelled Yuan Shao's troops from Youzhou. Yuan Shao now returned to Jizhou. But sun gongzan didn't go after him. "Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "Gongsun Zan now, that's it. Before that, it was extremely difficult for us to get Gongsun Zan to send troops. If you want too much, you don't have to ask for too much. "

"How many days does the Lord intend to stay in Hanoi?" Hu asked

Zhang xiudao said: "I'll leave today. I can rest assured that Hanoi county will be governed by you. Along the way, although the people are sad, at least all the people can live a normal life. I don't want to say that I have to leave my hometown. "

Hu Zhao said: "at present, it can only be maintained temporarily. More rain is needed. If it doesn't rain, if it continues, it will be quite troublesome. "

Zhang xiudao: "there's no way. It depends on the mood of the master."

Today's situation, Zhang Xiu has no way, after all, there is no sign of rain in the short term. Zhang Xiu talked with Hu Zhao again. After having lunch at the prefect's residence, she took a rest and left huaixian County for Hedong county.

Drought also occurred in Hedong county and Zuo Fengyi. However, under the control of Fang Jun and Wang Yi, together with Chang'an, Xu Shu and others, they had already given orders, so they could control them for the time being and barely survive.

Despite the continuous drought, the people are still not able to leave their homes.

Along the way, Zhang Xiu is also paying attention to the situation in different places. She finds that many places have invited alchemists, and people everywhere have asked alchemists for rain, so that she can survive.

But it never rains.

At the beginning of July, Zhang Xiu went around and returned to Chang'an again.

In July, although the weather is hot, but not in June, barely slow down a bit. However, the drought has been going on all the time. Up to now, it has never rained, which is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, all over the country are providing disaster relief, suppressing food prices and stabilizing the situation.

If there is no water diversion and no food price stabilization, the situation will be very bad. When Zhang Xiu arrived in Chang'an, ah Guli came to Chang'an with 20000 Qiang soldiers.

When the Qiang soldiers arrived, Zhang Xiu was stationed in the military camp.

First, we should establish a military system and allocate it according to the rest of the armed forces. All kinds of food and money are the same as the rest of the barracks. After a Guli was settled, Zhang Xiu was reading the disaster situation presented by various places in the mansion. Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported: "Taiwei, there is a man named Zuo Ci from outside the mansion. He claims that he has a way to solve the drought for the Lord."
