"The second is to mobilize the people to dig deep river channels. Kings who have passed in years of drought often dig deep river channels to reduce the chance of flooding. Right now, land reclamation is no longer possible. We just organize the people to dig river channels."

Xu Guangqi suddenly thought of something: "My lord, in the past, I discussed with Zhang Ji, the prefect of Changsha, the epidemic after the flood. For example, drilling some deep wells can help the people survive the disaster when the drought comes, and it can also ensure that the epidemic is cured. Effective control."

"Okay, let's do as you said. The matter of purchasing grain and grass will be handed over to Yang Hong. I believe that this gentleman's ability will definitely fulfill his mission. As for the matter of digging the river channel, I will personally do it."

On the second day, the entire thirteen counties of Jiujiang quickly posted documents, ordering Yao Guangxiao and Xu Guangqi to start digging wells and excavating river channels.In order to prevent it, Cao Anmin refused to accept the transfer because of the good weather, and deliberately wrote a tough tone in the documents. If anyone disobeyed, he would be dealt with strictly.

In Jiangdong Wuhou Mansion, Sun Ce is enjoying the delicious food on the table.

Although there was a severe drought in the Jianghuai River, it had little impact on them.In particular, obtaining the land of Lujiang without a single soldier raised Sun Ce's deterrence to a whole new level.

In his opinion, five years at most.

As long as he wiped out all Jiangdong Shanyue, he would lead a large army to march northward to the Central Plains, and realize what he did as the overlord of Western Chu.

While imagining, Chang Shi Zhang Zhao walked in quickly

"My lord, Jiujiang urgent report."

"Oh, what's the news?" The land of Jiujiang fell into the hands of Cao Cao. For Sun Ce, it was simply a serious problem that he had to get rid of.It's just that the mysterious Jiujiang prefect made him a little worried. He didn't know what kind of trap Cao Cao had set up to wait for him.

"My lord, the Jiujiang government suddenly posted a public announcement, requiring all prefectures and counties to dig rivers and deep wells."

"Dig a deep well?" Sun Ce quickly glanced at the information, and immediately burst into laughter, "Hehe, Yangzhou has been doing well for decades, let alone me, even the older generation has only seen floods, never I haven’t seen a drought before, so what’s the use of deep boreholes.”

According to this era, a deep well is expensive to build, and the key is not yet applicable.The Jiangdong water system is well developed, and the well only needs to be drilled a few meters to ensure drinking.Over the past few decades, people have developed this habit, but no one digs deep wells anymore.

"Zibu, you are familiar with history books, do you know if there is a drought in Jiangdong?"

"I checked the classics specially, and Jingzhou has experienced a few minor droughts, but I have never had one in Jiangdong. According to the records in the literature, the last time I was a big Han probably dates back to the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty."

"It must have been more than 200 years!" Sun Ce laughed even more when he heard the words, and despised the mysterious Jiujiang prefect even more in his heart.

"My lord, the governor of Jiujiang seems to be incapable of governing, so he came up with such a method. Such a waste of people and money, it must not take long. My lord Ding Ke took Jiujiang with all his might and realized his career as the overlord of Western Chu."

Listening to Zhang Zhao's praise, Sun Ce was not to mention how happy he was.

Holding Zhang Zhao's hand: "Zi Bu, don't go back, let's go, accompany Gu to have a drink and celebrate."

Zhang Zhao didn't answer the trick either, and the two went to the side hall, completely forgetting about the Jiujiang incident.

The official document was not only passed to Jiangdong, but even Xuchang, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, was also passed on by the accompanying merchants. Everyone was talking about this kind of strange official document.

Chapter 54 Short-sighted

Xiao Pei, in the eunuch's study.Liu Bei held the bamboo slips in his hand, his face was full of sarcasm.

"Brother, did Cao Anmin lose his head? Digging a deep well is such a stupid waste of manpower and material resources."

Looking at the two elder brothers, Zhang Fei also laughed loudly.

Since the disbandment of the coalition forces, not only wasted a lot of money and food, but Cao Anmin's reputation was also tarnished, and all the hard work for so many years was in vain.

Liu Bei hated Cao Anmin so much.If someone hadn't told me the reason, I'm afraid I'm still kept in the dark.Now that their vitality was seriously injured, it was even more difficult for them to deal with Liu Feng. It was extremely refreshing to see Cao Anmin deflated.

……

Xuchang Sikong Mansion.

After Yuan Shu was attacked and destroyed, all the officials of the Cao family joined forces to admonish Cao Cao, intending to make Cao Cao the public.

All the veterans of the Han Dynasty were emptied by Cao Ren in the Battle of Xuchang. They had no power in their hands and could only succumb to Cao Cao's coercion. They watched Cao Cao steal the country step by step but were unable to fight back.

Cao Cao focused on the overall situation, and in the end he only served as Sikong, completely surpassing all his officials in both civil and military aspects.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think of this document?" Although Cao Cao lives in Xuchang, he is always concerned about the situation in Jianghuai.As soon as Cao Anmin's Shenjing document was published, it was immediately reported to Cao Cao in the Xuchang newspaper.

"He is quick-witted, tough-minded, and has the demeanor of a lord."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Xun Yu, and then turned his gaze back to the document.The generation of heroes who control several states in the Central Plains will naturally not be as short-sighted as Sun Ce Liu Bei and others.

"Huainan may be unsustainable due to this disaster. Immediately order the treasury to allocate supplies to ensure that Jiujiang will be safe."

The people below Cao Cao's words naturally obeyed, but their lives are not easy right now.If they allocate food and grass to support them, I am afraid they will not be able to survive this winter.

"Mr. Anmin has already sent a document, stating that they are all well, please don't worry, my lord." Cheng Yu replied from the side.

Cao Cao didn't say much when he heard the words, his family background was not strong, and he didn't dare to go too far, otherwise it would affect his whole body, and everyone would be unsustainable in the end.

In particular, Zhang Xiu is still watching Wancheng covetously, and he must first settle inside if he wants to fight against the outside world.Although Jiujiang is important, it is far away from the Central Plains after all, and the investment is too large. I am afraid that it will only become someone else's wedding dress in the end.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao stopped making a sound, and the battle turned back to Wancheng and Xuzhou again.

……

Xiangyang is on the verge of the Xiangjiang River, with the danger of the Hanchuan River and the benefits of the Xiangjiang River, so that the city continues to prosper.Since Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and made Xiangyang the capital of Jingzhou, in just a few years, there are many academies, the style of writing is flourishing, and countless merchant ships come and go, making this city the pride of Chu.

At this moment, on the main road of Xiangyang, a carriage was heading towards the Cai Mansion.

The carriage was surrounded by several guards, each with a dagger on their waists, and they were extremely strong.The owner sitting in the car is about 30 years old, with a fair face and a capable face.

At this moment, he was holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and his eyes were shining with glory.

This person is none other than Yang Hong who was ordered to come to Xiangyang.Cao Anmin divided his duties. Although Yang Hong was Yuan Shu's former subordinate, Cao Anmin still entrusted him with important tasks and handed over all the diplomatic power to him.This time, he handed over tens of thousands of gold to him. Since ancient times, envoys have always been hard-working people, and there are few people who can represent a country and hold great power like him.

Scholars died for their confidants, Yang Hong's heart was turbulent at this time, but his surface was gloomy.

Because, what he will face next is not an ordinary character.

Among the Jingzhou aristocratic families, Cai and Kuai are the first to be promoted, and among these two families, the Cai family is the main one.The Cai family was a big family in Jingzhou before Liu Biao came to Xiangyang.His uncle was the late Taiwei Zhang Wen, his eldest sister married Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family in Jingzhou, and his younger sister, Cai Yu, became Liu Biao's stepwife.

Under the cultivation of Cai Mao, the entire Jingzhou formed a unique situation with Liu Biao as the core and Cai Kuai, Huang Pang as the supplement.

Yuan Shu was defeated, and Cao Cao's family won alone, which made Liu Biao feel threatened.Therefore, not only increased Jiangxia's garrison, but also provided Zhang Xiu with weapons and food for him to beat Cao Cao on the flanks.

But as long as the land of Jiujiang is in Cao Cao's hands, they will have trouble sleeping and eating.

In Yang Hong's thinking, the Cai Mansion is already close at hand.The coachman automatically slowed down, and slowly parked the carriage in front of the mansion.

Although Yang Hong came here for the first time, a door sticker had already been delivered to the mansion. When two guards saw Yang Hong come down, they did not need Cai Mao's instructions.

Walking all the way, there were all pavilions and pavilions. After a while, the guard walked to the door of the study room, bowed respectfully inside and said: "Master Military Advisor, the visitor has arrived."

A deep male voice came from inside the room: "Please come in."

After a while, the guard came in and bowed respectfully to Yang Hong: "Sir, the military advisor is here."

Cai Mao's official position is the military advisor of General Zhennan.Most people are called military advisers, unless they are close people, they can be called by the name of the table.
