Chapter 1656 drought in the north and south

South?

The south has drought, and it has not rained even earlier than the north. It has not been the next month since the end of May, and the summer crops there have been death from drought.

But what is more serious is that at first, the officials there thought it was just a small drought and did not report it. When the drought became severe, it would rain quickly with the will of luck and conceal the report.

The result of concealment of the report was that disasters were flooded, refugees were everywhere, and public resentment was soaring. Some wealthy Zhuangzi were even forced to break into by refugees. Not only did they rob food, even their wives, daughters, and maids suffered lust and humiliation. The incident was extremely serious.

The disaster that could not be hidden was sent to the imperial court after many levels and obstacles, and the one presented it was Yan Zisheng, a psychic in Guiyang.

Yan Zisheng is a disciple of Song Zhiyuan. He has been giving up his qualifications for many years. Now he is a Tongzhi in Guiyang. Now he dares to report the disaster under pressure. You can think of his nature.

In fact, Yan Zisheng had already submitted a warning note, but he didn't take it seriously when he went up to the top, suppressing the note, and even threatening him not to talk nonsense. As a result, the disaster was flooded.

At present, the disaster was so serious that Emperor Chu was naturally furious and immediately took off several official positions of relevant officials, and then ordered the imperial envoy to go to the south without stopping to provide disaster relief to the civilians and to catch corrupt officials who were inaction.

This is the south and the north, and the same is true. It is still under control and has not yet been affected. However, some refugees have left their hometowns and flocked to the capital.

This severe drought is just the beginning. I don’t know when the drought will be. Shangjing is the most powerful place. It is under the feet of the emperor. Anyway, they are going to die. I may be able to have a bite of food and drink here before they die.

Song Zhiyuan stayed in the palace until he was about to be at the palace gate before leaving the palace, with a tired face.

Mrs. Song asked her to arrange water to wash and eat.

"Just eat simpler, and you will get the meeting room and gentlemen to discuss matters later." Song Zhiyuan said tiredly: "It won't rain this day, disasters have occurred everywhere, and it is even more serious in the south. You must be alert and take care of the personnel and affairs of the family at home."

Mrs. Song's hand shook: "It's also rising in the south?"

Song Zhiyuan nodded.

"Where is Qi'er?"

"Qi'er is in Jiangnan Prefecture City, and her mansion is close to the Governor's Office. It should not be affected. You don't have to worry too much." Song Zhiyuan rubbed his eyebrows.

Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mother also said today that the drought is probably very serious and will last for a long time. We also told us that we would talk to us early. Now this is really something she said."

"Oh?" Song Zhiyuan paused: "Well, it will last for a long time after my mother said it?"

Mrs. Song nodded and said calmly: "My mother went to the waterfront to cool off today and found that the water level in our mansion's lake has dropped to the length of her fingers."

Song Zhiyuan's breathing was suffocated. He was also busy in the palace recently and would not notice small matters like water level, and no one in the court reported it.

The water level drops, is it a big deal if it is one place or every place.

If it falls everywhere and it doesn't rain, the well will sooner or later dry up. At that time, it will be as simple as refugees, but there will be countless bones.

If people don’t eat, it’s okay to keep them for a few days, and try not to drink water?

Water is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Song Zhiyuan couldn't sit still and said, "I'll go to the conference hall."

"Don't you just put your stomach on?"

"Send someone to the meeting room." He hurried out.
