The treasury is short of food, and the people are also short of food.

But it's not impossible.

Chu Ze immediately wrote a memorial and a letter and asked Zhao Si to send it to Yingtian immediately.

Li Xing stood aside, frowning and asked: "Is this okay?"

"Sure." Chu Ze looked sideways at him and asked, "Have you finished your work? You are so free." You even had time to follow him around.

Li Xing chuckled lightly and said, "Don't look down on me so much."

Although he is now in dire straits, before, he was the material of a country's reserve group.

Coincidentally, Ryukyu is also an island. They have been dealing with water since they were born, isn't it just to observe the water conditions?

Hand in hand.

Thinking of this, Li Xing suddenly turned serious.

He walked inside and called Chu Ze to sit down.

"Come, let's tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Chu Ze sat over and looked at Li Xing in confusion.

Li Xing did not answer immediately, but took out a piece of paper and spread it on the table. He pointed at the paper and said, "This is the water map I have drawn these days. Look here." His fingers were on the picture. He clicked on something, and Chu Ze's eyes followed the movements of his fingers.

"I have found out that the flood this time was caused by continuous rain in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, which caused the water in the Xiangjiang River to rise. And when the water reaches here..." Li Xing focused on a certain place again, "Look here, there is A big comeback.”

These bends intensify the current and make it turbulent.

Then it surged downwards.

"I can see that some people have tried to build dykes here before to block the flow of water. But it is these dykes that make the Xiangjiang River floods out of control. If we want to completely solve the Xiangjiang River floods, we must deal with these hidden dangers one by one. , Hengyang can be peaceful in the future."

Chu Ze listened to Li Xing's analysis and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's there, but it's a big project."

The implication is that you can't decide.

Chu Ze raised his head and met Li Xing's serious eyes.

Seeing what Li Xing said, then...what else can Chu Ze do?

Of course, report it.

"Let's go write a memorial."

Just as he was about to stand up, Chu Ze suddenly remembered something. He stopped writing again and looked sideways at Li Xing.

Li Xing tilted his head and looked back with a confused expression.

Chu Ze suddenly said: "What do you think if we use this water to make the best use of the situation and let it form a lake?"

Li Xing raised an eyebrow.

He sat up straight and asked puzzledly: "Why build a lake?"

The water flow here is quite strong.

It doesn't look like there is a lack of water.

Chu Ze put down his pen and walked back to his previous seat to sit down.

"Do you know the saying 'If Su Hu is familiar with it, the world is sufficient'?" Chu Ze looked straight at Li Xing.

Li Xing knew the history of the Ming Dynasty fairly well.

Just thinking about it for a moment, I remembered it.

He replied: "Of course I know. This sentence first came from the Song Dynasty. It means that as long as Suzhou and Huzhou have a good harvest, there will be enough food for people in the world."

However, Ming Dynasty obviously did not continue this sentence.

As a result, we don’t even have enough food to help with the disaster.

Li Xing curled his lips in disgust.

Chu Ze: "..."

Chu Ze just pretended not to notice his dislike and continued Li Xing's words.

"You are right, but you have also seen the situation in Ming Dynasty now. We can't count on Suhu, but we can come up with 'if we are familiar with Huguang, we will be enough in the world'." Chu Ze wanted to spread this sentence to future generations. , to mention dozens or hundreds of years.

Let this sentence spread in the early Ming Dynasty.

Chu Ze's eyes were bright, and he analyzed: "Hubei and Hunan have luxuriant water, soil, and pleasant climate. They also have large plains and have natural conditions that are very suitable for the growth of crops. Didn't you just say that there is a problem with the water flow of the Xiang River? Then give It changes and makes water available for our use.”

Build this place into a large agricultural base.

And how can agriculture be separated from water?

Thinking of water, Chu Ze thought of Dongting Cave.

Dongting Cave is also in Hunan.

And it’s in Yueyang.

In modern times, the freshwater products of Dongting Lake are also extremely famous. So why can't he develop now?

Chu Ze and Li Xing talked for almost the whole night.

Finally, Li Xing was convinced by Chu Ze.

He gave Chu Ze a thumbs up and said, "Your method is indeed feasible. I made the right decision to come back."

When he left Daming, he didn't want to come back.

But later, he figured it out.

come back.

Chu Ze's thoughts amazed him.

If you follow him, you will definitely see a lot of things that you can't see or hear.

The most important thing is that they still can't beat Ming Dynasty.

It is better to live well than to seek death.

Now it seems that his decision was indeed correct.

Chu Ze raised his chin proudly and said: "What's the point? Just wait, we will present this idea to the emperor now and ask him to send the seeds immediately. In a few years, our idea will become Reality."

Li Xing was quite looking forward to it when he thought about it.

but……

"Humph, instead of thinking about what will happen in a few years, it's better to think about what to do now."

Chu Ze's idea is good, but only if they can survive a few years.

But looking at the current situation, they probably can only survive until three days later.

When Chu Ze heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.

He looked at Li Xing speechlessly.

The scribe has been very anxious these days.

Food supplies are gradually bottoming out, but relief food has not arrived yet.

Seeing that the food is running out.

The scribe wished he could look for Chu Ze a hundred times a day.

Chu Ze annoyed him so much.

"Isn't there still food here?" Chu Ze said, "What are you afraid of? With us here, can we still run out of food?"

Chu Ze said so confidently.

Li Xing glanced at him without leaving any trace.

The scribe was anxious, and so was Chu Ze.

It's just that Chu Ze never showed it in front of the scribe.

"Okay, Mr. Chu has already written to Yingtian. Why are you in a hurry? If it doesn't work, just eat wild vegetables first." Li Xing's tone remained calm.

As long as he can survive starvation, it is not a desperate situation for Li Xing.

So what's there to be anxious about?

Besides, is this something you get in a hurry?

Li Xing's mentality is very peaceful.

It was so peaceful that even the scribes would roll their eyes.

He looked at the two unmoved adults, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Okay, then we won't ask anymore."

As long as there is food the day after tomorrow, he can do anything.

The time came on the second night.

Chu Ze looked in the direction where he was standing at the city gate, his hair falling out in handfuls with worry.

"Why aren't you here yet?"

Even if the person doesn't come, there won't even be a letter.

Is it going to work or not? Let me give you a word.

There will be no food to eat tomorrow morning.

He boasted so much that he would never run out of food.

You won’t let him get slapped in the face, right?

Li Xing stood nearby, looking at the still empty official road, and sneered: "According to me, you should go dig wild vegetables. Now send people out to dig, and we will definitely be able to fill everyone's stomach early tomorrow morning."

Chu Ze turned his head and gave him a middle finger.

Damn it, you kid is still digging wild vegetables and is addicted to it, right? Opening your mouth and keeping your mouth shut are just like digging for wild vegetables. (End of chapter)
