Daqin's current entertainment projects are quite lacking. As soon as the zoo was built, it immediately attracted a large number of people.

Tickets are thirty cents each, and there are no secondary charges.

The entire Dongshan is a zoo, and you can play there all day long!

The animals were spread out, and the harmful animals were surrounded by heavy railings. People could stand outside and visit!

And those with docile personalities are kept free-range in the area, only blocked by a few fences, so people can interact with them!

Since the zoo opened, it has been full every day!

The price is not high and ordinary people can afford it!

Especially those who have children, who doesn’t want to take their children to see the world?

Not to mention going every day, it’s still affordable to go once in a while!

The popularity of the zoo has also inspired the small village at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.

Many people saw the business opportunities and started doing small businesses at the entrance of the zoo!

This place is still some distance away from Xianyang City. If you are tired from walking around, you must have something to eat and drink, rest and then return to the city.

As a result, each small tea stall became popular!

There are also many people who have started a carriage business, driving carriages to transport tourists!

The navy led by Wang Li rested for a while, and after loading up with supplies, set sail again to join Han Xin and others!

As spring plowing approached, Ying Feiyu used the system to exchange for a rotary tiller and planned to order Huang Yuan to lead someone to build a dozen of them.

Used together with a tractor, it can save a lot of time in farming!

The rotary tiller does not have much technical content, and Huang Yuan had it built within a few days.

After testing, one was given to each county and they were asked to build their own according to the pattern!

These agricultural machinery don’t have any too precise parts. A few master craftsmen can research them, so there is no need to build factories and mass-produce them!

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, which is the busiest time for spring plowing.

But this year, not a single person can be seen on the land outside Xianyang City!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the sun is scorching in the sky, but the air is dry.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and the sand is mixed with it!

"Your Majesty, the weather has been dry in recent days and the people have been unable to plant seeds at all. Even if they were planted, they cannot germinate. The people are very anxious!"

At the morning court, a minister handed over his hand to report.

There was a lot of snow last winter, but it hasn't rained or snowed since spring.

The little snow that melted in winter has been blown dry by the spring breeze. If it doesn’t rain, the best opportunity for spring planting will be missed!

"Alas! I didn't expect that a drought would happen at this juncture!"

Ying Zheng also noticed this and was about to ask about farming matters.

Spring is the season for sowing. If the seeds don’t go to the ground, this year’s harvest will be seriously affected!

The last time there was a drought in Xianyang City was the year when Ying Feiyu first arrived!

There were also ministers who wanted to use the abnormal celestial phenomena as an excuse to suppress him.

However, Ying Feiyu made artificial rainfall, which shattered their wishful thinking!

But that drought was not too serious, it only affected the harvest.

But this time the land has dried up so badly that if we can’t sow, we can’t harvest, which is very likely to lead to a complete loss of production!

"Your Majesty, if we continue like this, we will miss the best time for sowing and affect the grain harvest! If it is serious, there may be a famine!"

An old minister said sadly, as if something irreversible had happened.

"I'm talking about Lai Yushi, what you said is a bit serious, isn't it? In the past few years, the weather in our Daqin has been good, and every household has a surplus of food. Even if the food harvest fails this year, there will definitely be no famine! Moreover, the imperial court has also set up granaries in various places.

, once Xianyang really has no harvest this year, the food reserves will definitely be enough to feed the people of Xianyang!"

When Chunyu Yue heard the word famine, he immediately stopped working.

The current drought is true, but famine is still far away!

"Even if we have food reserves, we can't remain indifferent to the drought, right?"

The old man bowed his hand towards Ying Zheng again.

"Yeah! That's true!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

It is indeed impossible for Xianyang City to suffer from famine, but the reduction or cessation of food production will definitely have a great impact on people's lives.

As long as it can be avoided, then try to avoid it!

"Feiyu, what do you think about this matter?"

Facing the drought, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on this boy.

After all, this kid demonstrated artificial rainfall back then, and used this method to solve the drought in Loulan!

"How else can I look? Just look up!"

Ying Feiyu pretended to have an innocent expression and raised his head to look at the sky outside.

It's cloudless and there's no sign of rain!

"No nonsense! This is the main hall, and what is being discussed is also about people's livelihood issues!"

Seeing his absent-minded expression, Ying Zheng immediately glared and shouted.

"Father, I naturally know that this matter is related to people's livelihood, but if it doesn't rain, what else can I do?"

Ying Feiyu spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"I remember that your boy once took people to the sky to pray for rain in a hot air balloon. As a result, it didn't take long for the heavy rain to come! If you take people there again, it will be the same!"

Ying Zheng directly recounted what happened that year, hoping that this kid could do it again and the drought in Xianyang would be resolved.

"My father and I have already said that it is called artificial rainfall, and it has a scientific basis!"

At that time, it was to stabilize his position and not be persecuted by traitorous officials, so he said that he asked his master to send him rain.

But later he popularized this knowledge to everyone and also talked about the conditions required for artificial rainfall.

As a result, the scumbag dad had no memory and kept praying for rain!

"Okay, okay, okay, artificial rainfall is artificial rainfall. If you do it again, won't it be over?"

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

"Father, artificial rainfall must meet many conditions. We can't just say it will fall!"

Ying Feiyu also observed the weather just now, and it was still far from artificial rainfall.

There isn't a cloud outside, and no matter how much dry ice you sprinkle on it, it won't help!

"When will it rain?"

Ying Zheng frowned and asked.

Without rain, people cannot farm.

Without farming, people will have no income.

If you have no income, you will definitely have dissatisfaction, and the consequences are hard to predict!

"I don't know. It depends on the formation of the weather! It may be a few hours, or it may be a few days, or it may be...!"

"Okay, stop talking!"

Before Ying Feiyu could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Ying Zheng.

There is no other way, who made this kid keep his hope smaller and smaller!

"You kid, just tell me directly if there is any way to alleviate the drought!"

In the face of natural disasters, not only the ministers were helpless, but also Ying Zheng was the same.
Chapter completed!
