Half a day later, Xiao He and the others rushed into the study.
The previous county magistrates and county lieutenants had left behind a pile of mess, which was why they had been delayed for some time.
"Tell me about the situation in Pei County during this period of time. Also, I want to hear your opinions on how to deal with the drought.”
After hearing Zhao Tian's words, the three people present immediately understood.
Actually, on the way here, Xiao He and Cao Can had already guessed that the Thirteenth Young Master would ask this question.
However, Zhou Bo was relieved. After all, his main role as a county captain was not to give advice.
"Young Master, Pei County has been suffering from a severe drought for the past few months. There are already ten or so villages suffering from famine.”
"According to the report from a while ago, it is estimated that a large number of farmers will starve to death in a period of time.”
"The number of refugees coming to Pei County is also increasing.”
“……”
Xiao He immediately explained the impact of the drought in Pei County.
However, when he said this, Xiao He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he was conflicted about something.
"It doesn't matter if you say it. I didn't follow you to listen to you say good things in front of me. If there is a future, you have to speak bluntly.”
"You can't play any feigned civility with me.”
Although Zhao Tian's words were subtle, how could Xiao He and the other two not understand?
If there was a future?
What future?
Didn't that mean…
And for them to speak out and remonstrate with him, that high status was something that Xiao He and the other two did not dare to imagine.
They knew very well that the person who followed Young Master first would definitely be a great hero in the future.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Xiao He immediately became excited.
"Actually, a small rebellion has already occurred recently. Adding on the matter of the Divine Stone that descended from the sky, I'm worried that if we don't deal with these things properly, a portion of the people will rebel and affect Great Qin's rule.”
"In fact, these people will also be used by those with ill intentions.”
Xiao He gritted his teeth and told her everything.
Zhao Tian was still very satisfied. Xiao He's judgment was indeed very unique.
Actually, when Xiao He said this, he was also feeling uneasy, afraid that he would make Zhao Tian unhappy.
However, seeing Zhao Tian's reaction, Xiao He was relieved.
As expected, Young Master was unparalleled in the world!
"Then do you have a way to govern it?”
At this moment, Cao Can quickly stood up.
"Young Master…"
The moment he spoke, Xiao He shut his mouth.
Xiao He smiled as he looked at Cao Can. He knew that Cao Can wanted to show off in front of Zhao Tian.
Indeed, he couldn't take too much of Cao Can's glory.
In reality, that was the case. Seeing Xiao He's performance in front of Zhao Tian, Cao Can's heart was indeed a little sour.
"The most important thing now is to make Pei County stable. The way to settle down is to let them have food to eat for the time being.”
"Therefore, I feel that we should open the granaries and release the grain first. I've calculated before that with the grain reserves of our county government, we should be able to barely feed most people for two months.”
"I heard that Young Master promised His Majesty that the drought would be cured within a month. At the very least, we can guarantee that there won't be any riots in this month.”
"The reason for the drought this year is mainly because of the lack of rain and the great sun. Although there is a big river outside Pei County, the water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. Moreover, many villages are far away from the big river.”
"This humble official thinks that if we can dig some ditches and divert the river water over, then the water source problem will be solved.”
"Next, it's up to the farmers to farm.”
"To put it bluntly, the drought control this time is to deal with the problem of farmers being unable to farm. Once this problem is solved, Young Master can report to His Majesty.”
After Cao Can finished speaking, he stood silently at the side with a look of anticipation, as if he was waiting for Zhao Tian to praise him.
However, before the thing he was waiting for happened, he heard Xiao He shake his head and sigh.
"Young Master, Cao Can's suggestion is still open to discussion.”
Cao Can was speechless.
Your grandpa!
It wasn't easy for me to come up with this idea, and you want to discuss it with me?
Isn't this embarrassing me in front of Young Master?
Alright, if you don't tell me what's so ugly about you today, I won't ask you out for a drink tonight.
"Is there a problem with my suggestion?”Cao Can immediately said in dissatisfaction.
Xiao He smiled faintly.
"If it was under normal circumstances, Cao Can's suggestion would naturally be feasible. However, it's not possible now. I don't think Cao Can has gone to the field to observe, right?”
"There are a total of three big rivers and eighteen small rivers that flow through Pei County. However, even if these small rivers don't dry up, the river water has almost reached the bottom. It's definitely unrealistic to divert water from the small rivers.”
"What about the big river?" Cao Can immediately asked.
"According to my observation, the water level of this river has already dropped by at least twenty feet. If we want to guide the water in here, we need to dig more channels than this number.”
"The farmers are already rioting because of the drought. If we force them to do this kind of work now, they will definitely not accept it.”
Cao Can frowned when he heard the word 'twenty'. He naturally understood how difficult it was.
"This…But we're doing this for their own good.”
Cao Can said stubbornly.
Xiao He shook his head." If your project could be completed in a day or three to five days, everyone would be happy to do it. However, this project will take at least one to two months. If you want to complete it within a month, you have to work day and night. How can they accept this?”
