Datang: I was tricked by the system

Chapter 222

"Set up an altar to pray for rain!"

Fu Yun replied to Songdorachi helplessly. This was the fourth time he had prayed for rain, but God was still very stingy, and not a single drop of rain fell.

Besides, Fu Yun didn't believe in this at all, he just wanted to use it to rule the people.

"To Khan, I have a plan to alleviate the current drought."

Da Sima Sangge walked out of the queue by mistake and said loudly.

"Sir, please speak."

When the national situation is in crisis, as long as there is a way, Fu Yun will listen respectfully, whether it is the idea of ​​a civil official or a general.

"According to what General Mo saw, the heavenly water and spring water on Mount Gezigeya are enough for my Tuyuhun."

"Tuyuhun is cold at night, and the people can't work, so half of the water is wasted downstream. We only need to use half of the waste to solve the immediate crisis."

Brother Sang was really wrong to describe over and over again how to dig pits and stack weirs with his hands, his face was full of enthusiasm and he looked confident.

"No! Cutting off the water source is a crime against the heavens. The Khan must never resort to such despicable means."

When Songdorachi heard that Sang Ge was really wrong, he directly reprimanded: "You are trapping Khan in injustice."

"Is it benevolence and justice to watch my people in Tuyuhun starve to death? Since this is not possible, please ask the doctor to contribute a good prescription!" Sang Ge really made a wrong look and Songdorachi returned to the queue and snorted coldly.

Songdorachi stood helplessly in the middle of the line. If he had a way, he would not have asked the Khan to pray for rain here.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Fu Yun held his chin with one hand and fell into a conflict.

"I thought I could stop the flow!"

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister agrees..."

After a commotion, most of the palace chose to cut off their lives, and only a few people stood on the side of Songdorachi.

"Since everyone agrees, I will take Sang Ge's advice and cut off the water source to protect my people."

In fact, Fu Yun also agrees with Sangge Zhencuo's suggestion in his heart. Although it seems to be against morality, it is actually more useful than asking for rain.

At this time, he didn't know that his stupid decision would bring disaster to himself in the near future.

"Brother Sang, I will leave this matter to you to supervise."

"The subordinates take orders!" Sang Ge Zhencuo gave Songdorachi a blank look again, and whispered sarcastically: "It's hard for a conservative to become a big weapon."

Due to the emergency of the drought, Sangge Zhencuo immediately put into the work of intercepting the river.

There were five river channels in front of the Kariqu River Valley, so he set up five water weirs, and there was one channel in the Yozonggulie River Valley, and he ordered all of them to be intercepted.

The storage weir is large enough to catch most of the water that flows out at night.During the day, the water will be directed to places where there is water shortage, and it will repeat itself day by day.

……

Datang.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Fang Xuanling looked anxious.

"Your Majesty, since October last year, Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Hedong Road and many other places have not seen any rain, and the drought has become increasingly severe."

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was unable to support his forehead. There was a drought and a flood for a year, and it never stopped. There were waves of ups and downs, and he, the emperor, didn't want to do it anymore.

"Send more troops, open canals to divert water, and irrigate the farmland."

"Your Majesty, the water in the turbid river is decreasing day by day, only the Jinghe and Weihe rivers still have some water sources, and the upper reaches are drying up."

Fang Xuanling replied with a sad face.

"What? You say it again?"

Li Shimin couldn't believe his ears. In his memory, the water of the Yellow River has always flowed down continuously, and there has never been a sign of drying up.

Even in the past few years, there was no such thing as a severe drought. This year's drought has just begun, and it is unbelievable.

"What I said is that the water source in the upper reaches of the Zhuohe River is drying up, and only a little water source in the upper reaches of the Jinghe and Weihe Rivers is available."

In order to relieve Li Shimin's pressure, Fang Xuanling changed the order of the reports.

There was still an uproar in the court hall. The water of the Yellow River has never been cut off since ancient times. How can it dry up now?

"I think there must be something strange in it!"

Wei Zheng said: "It's better to send someone to trace the source and find out the situation."

Li Shimin twirled his beard and nodded.

"This matter is very important and must be investigated. Li Ji, you are here to supervise."

"According to the order!"

With the deepening of spring, the drought became more and more serious, and the sky still did not reward the slightest raindrops.

The number of refugees on the road gradually increased.

Li Shimin stood by a well, shaking the pulley constantly, hoping to bring some clear or turbid water from the well, but he was disappointed once again, not to mention the water, there was no moisture at all.

This is already the No. 20 well he has tried today.

"Your Majesty, think of another way. If it doesn't rain, the water level in the river will drop, so there will be no water in the well."

Fang Xuanling pulled the bucket aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a dusty hand and said.

"A way? What else can I do? The well has been dug so deep. I don't know what happened to Li Ji."

Li Shimin clapped the dust off his hands symbolically, stood there with his hips akimbo, and felt helpless looking at the desolation around him. Even Chang'an, which had always had good weather, became like this.

Is he unqualified as an emperor?

"What Weichen means is..."

"Okay, don't mention that."

Li Shimin blocked Fang Xuanling's words before he finished speaking. He knew that Fang Xuanling wanted to ask Li Yi for help.

But did the Emperor of Tang not want to lose face?Do fathers just ask for their sons?At this time, shouldn't the son take the initiative to show filial piety?

If Li Yi were here, he would definitely say coldly: You are thinking about farts!

The more I think about Li Shimin, the angrier and sadder he becomes. If he had treated Li Yi better during that time, Li Yi would not have left. If he had given him more trust and more chances to explain, they would not have become like this. .

If Li Yi was still in Datang, such a drought would be nothing.

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and finally he beat his chest and shouted: "Go back to the palace!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Fang Xuanling knew that His Majesty had misunderstood him, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is to ask someone to check to see if there is still water in Yi Lake."

At the beginning, Emperor Yi didn't know what kind of fairy tricks he used to take away the land and people of Anju Village, leaving behind a lake, which was named Yi Lake by the people.

It played a big role five years ago, helping to alleviate the drought in Guanzhong.

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "People have already gone there. The water level of that lake has continued to drop over the past five years, and the area has also continued to shrink. In addition, the land in Guanzhong is still being irrigated. Even if there is water, it may be a drop in the bucket. Solve the problem." no longer the problem of today.”

Li Shimin stood at Shunyi Gate and looked west: "Has Li Ji been gone for ten days?"
