The queen who wears books always wants to bully me

Chapter 43: A Calamity Comes to the World?

But there are always people who like to make mistakes, and they can't find it happy for themselves or others.

"My Majesty, there have been reports of drought in several places recently, and the capital has not rained for a long time. The drought has obviously spread, and the people are full of complaints. Now the capital is full of rumors, which may not be good for the emperor."

Mu Wan raised her eyes to look at the minister, and frowned slightly: "Droughts have occurred in most places this year, and they are indeed serious. This is a natural disaster, and no one can do anything about it. Are there any rumors in the capital?"

"I dare not say it." The minister knelt in front of the hall with a look of fear.

"I'll let you talk." Mu Wan was a little speechless, it was exhausting to speak like this.

"I... I heard that the common people are complaining about the constant natural disasters since the new emperor ascended the throne... say... that the emperor is a disaster star who came to the world..."

The minister knocked on the ground in panic as he said that, "The emperor spares my life, this is not what the minister said..."

Everyone thought that Mu Wanhui would be furious, and Longyan was furious.

But the hall was extremely quiet, only the voice of the minister begging for mercy.

Mu Wan stood up from the dragon chair, glanced at everyone in front of the hall, and smiled faintly, "The common people are ignorant and don't read much, so I don't care about them. Do you think this natural disaster was caused by me?"

"I dare not wait!"

Suddenly a group of people knelt down and said in unison.

The old prince of Chu said, "It doesn't matter whether the disaster is a disaster or not. It depends on the emperor and how the court solves this matter for the common people."

Mu Wan glanced at the old prince Chu, "Get up, all the lovers, the old prince is right, everyone should think about how to solve this problem."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When everyone got up, a minister asked, "I don't know what the emperor can do. I have thought about it in private, and there is really no better way."

"Whether it rains or not is a matter of God's decision. We really can't solve it, but if we had prepared earlier, maybe the disaster would not be as serious as it is now."

The prime minister's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how should we be prepared?"

Mu Wan glanced at him and said with a smile, "According to local conditions, constructing water conservancy can alleviate the drought very well, and digging canals can also resist floods. There are also irrigation tools such as overturned carts and bobbins that can send river water into the canals." It will automatically flow into the paddy fields, save labor and widely irrigate, and the disaster will naturally not be as severe as it is now."

Mu Wan doesn't know much about this aspect of knowledge. What she knows is only written in history textbooks. In addition, she read related scripts when she was filming in her previous life. It can be said that she is talking about every educated person in modern times. People should understand the common sense, but she doesn't understand it no matter how in-depth it is.

The construction of water conservancy according to local conditions can not only alleviate the drought, but also prevent floods, rollovers, and irrigation tools for drums. In just a few words, it highlights the point.

For a moment, the hall was silent, and the faces of the ministers were full of shock.

None of them had thought of this before, and even the irrigation tools that Mu Wan mentioned were never heard of in this dynasty, nor in other countries.

In the face of drought and floods, most countries are helpless.

The easiest way is to stockpile more grain and allocate money for disaster relief. Last time Chubei proposed to build a reservoir to store water, but they didn't know how to irrigate it, so they had to transport it manually. These costs were very high.

There are not many farmland crops that can be saved.

"Then how should these irrigation tools be made?" Old Prince Chu asked with admiration in his eyes.

"Master of the Ministry of Industry will come to the Imperial Study later, and I will draw a design for you, and find someone to make it immediately and send it to those places where the disaster is serious."

Everyone's faces were overjoyed, and they immediately knelt down and worshiped Mu Wan, "The emperor is really wise, and he governs the country well, I am ashamed!"
