Chapter 452 I Worry About You
Under Hua Yao's personal supervision, the spring plowing is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Digging out and destroying the locust eggs in the ground while digging up the ground is a waste of time, but it is still much better than locust plagues.

It's just that the effect has not been seen yet, and the farmers and common people are feeling uneasy, and gradually become a little lazy.

Huayao asked the government to issue a notice that there would be other rewards for those who had contributed to the extermination of the locusts, which made the people's already somewhat negative mood rise again.

As soon as the spring plowing was over, Huayao asked people to distribute the chicks that had been hatched intensively to every household.Advise to raise them well, and collect them uniformly in autumn.

If you don't talk about recycling according to the quantity, I'm afraid these farmers will have other thoughts after raising half of the chickens.Either slaughter them for meat, or sell them for money. In case of a locust plague, who will kill the locusts.

By the time the county magistrates and government offices in Yingzhou have been supervised to complete all the tasks, and the accounts for buying chickens and distributing disaster funds have been checked clearly, it is already late spring and early summer.

As the weather gets hotter day by day, Huayao has to worry about another thing: the severe drought in Yingzhou.

Although Hua Yao led the troops to exterminate the locusts in Yingzhou, she has been paying attention to the situation in Yingzhou.

Since winter, the government office in Yingzhou has assigned staff to record the snowfall and rainfall in various places.Now they are all summed up one by one.

Judging from these records alone, drought will still occur in Yingzhou this year.As for how severe the situation is, it's hard to say if it can be overcome with a little coping.

After all, Huayao is not a major in weather forecasting, nor is she majoring in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, so she can only make predictions based on her miscellaneous memories.

"Hua Yao." Tang Fuye knocked on the door and came in, holding a few large scrolls in his hand.

The way the two get along these days is subtle and distanced, so it's not particularly awkward.

It's just that occasionally Tang Fuye's eyes are very gentle, Hua Yao has to avoid it, pretending not to know anything.

Tang Fuye brought the topographic maps of Yingzhou, Yingzhou, and Guanzhou, with some marks and alterations on them.

All unfolded on the table, Tang Fuye and Hua Yao took paperweights, pen holders, pen mounts, arm rests, etc. to flatten the paper, and began to study it together.

"These few points are inconsistent with the local conditions, and I have corrected them." Tang Fuye explained to Hua Yao.

Hua Yao asked, "What about the water sources? Have you found all the branches of the rivers I asked you to find?"

"There are three rivers that pass through the boundary of Yingzhou, but only one has a clear flow route. I suspect that the other two have turned into underground rivers." Tang Fuye said.

Hua Yao's gaze followed Tang Fuye's finger direction one by one, and then said: "It may also be that there are too many branches, and they will dry up when there is a drought."

It would be fine if it turned into an underground river, but if it dries up after passing through the boundary of Yingzhou, then there is still a lack of water here.

Tang Fuye frowned and thought for a while, "Then I'll send someone to investigate."

"No need." Hua Yao stopped him and said, "The situation here has stabilized for the time being, the first battle will be considered as long as the locusts do not break out in summer. You stay here, I will take someone to check it out tomorrow."

"But the folk customs over there are tough, and the locals are very resentful." Tang Fuye looked at Hua Yao and said seriously, "I'm worried about you."

Simple and direct, he was just worried about Hua Yao.

Hua Yao looked at Tang Fuye with concern, and could only calmly say, "I will bring more people, so there is no need to worry."

"Then I will walk with you." Tang Fuye said, "Don't make fun of your own safety just to avoid me."
