Chapter 179 Various countermeasures
Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly pouted his small mouth, looking pitiful.
It was the first time Xiao Qi saw her like this, and she was so surprised that goose bumps all over her body almost fell.
"Host, if you are threatened, tell Xiao Qi, otherwise, Xiao Qi is really not used to your appearance."
"Xiao Qi, I want to leave the palace. I will only agree to let me leave the palace if I help Feng Lingzun solve this problem, so... can you help me? Our most powerful little system, Xiao Qi?"
"Uh okay okay!"
Xiao Qi was inexplicably excited by Shangguan Xiaoxiao's action, turned around and went back to the space to find a way, "Host, wait for me, Xiao Qi will help you find a solution."
"Well, Xiao Qi is the best!"
Shangguan smiled and complimented a few more words, and then sat down with a relaxed face.
With Xiaoqi's help, they should be able to find the right way to deal with the drought in the south soon.
Sure enough, only an hour later, I heard Xiao Qi Numme's voice resounding again.
"Host, do you know why the people nowadays are so afraid of droughts?"
"That's not because the drought will make the crops fail, and then it will turn into a famine. Of course, the people are afraid."
"Yes." Xiao Qi continued, "But the fundamental reason is that the lack of water sources has led to the drought, so the most important thing for you now is to solve the water source problem, bring the disaster under control, and then use prevention. measures to turn the situation around.”
"Are you saying that if we solve the water problem, those people will be able to get out of the drought?"
"Yes, so host, Xiao Qi has a few ways to tell you, and then you can go to Feng Lingzun to discuss it and see if it can be implemented as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, just find a few experienced ones. It can alleviate the drought situation.”
With that said, Xiao Qi told Shangguan Xiaoxiao several feasible solutions.
Shangguan smiled and listened, and couldn't help but praise Xiaoqi.
"Xiao Qi, you are indeed the smartest little system, I will go to Feng Lingzun now."
With that said, Shangguan smiled and walked out quickly, waving at Xiao Qi behind him as he walked, "The box of potato chips under my bed will be yours tonight."
Hearing that there are potato chips to eat, Xiao Qi scratched his head in embarrassment.
It's really good, and there are potato chips to eat.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to the imperial study room again, and told Feng Lingzun how to solve the drought problem in the south.
Feng Lingzun heard the words and was silent for a long time, then looked at Shangguan and asked with a smile, "What should those disaster victims do?"
"Back to the emperor, what the concubines thought was that they could send people to the disaster area, and arrange the old, weak, sick, and those who were unable to survive together, and set up a shelter in the disaster area. In this way, the mortality rate can also be greatly reduced. ."
"I also have this idea, or I can send a few imperial doctors over there."
"Yes."
"But even with this, the root cause of the drought remains unaddressed."
"Your Majesty, there are still some food left by experts here. The Emperor can send someone to the disaster area, at least so that the old and young women and children can eat enough."
"Well, Concubine Ai is right. I'm going to have someone send some food over there. However, I don't have much food on hand, so I can only temporarily solve the problem."
"So, the concubine felt that drought prevention should be done from the beginning."
Shangguan smiled and saw that Feng Lingzun agreed with his opinion, and immediately said, "I feel that the most important part of preventing droughts is to solve the problem of water supply and personnel supply."
Feng Lingzun looked at Shangguan and smiled, then nodded.
"The problem of personnel supply is food supply. This problem can be solved temporarily. What about the water source problem?"
"The issue of water sources will be discussed later. The emperor also said just now that the food supply can only temporarily solve the problem, so now the concubine has an idea. I wonder if it will work?"
"Oh, let's hear it."
"First of all, we should promote the technology of rice dry farming. Rice dry farming is to dry seedlings of rice varieties, then dry transplanting, and then carry out dry management, mainly using rainwater, supplemented by artificial irrigation, and the amount of water required for the entire growth period is only It is a quarter of the water conditions, which is definitely beneficial to drought-prone areas with insufficient water sources."
"Yes, the idea of Concubine Ai is indeed feasible. How to cultivate it? Are there any professional staff?"
"Professional"
Shangguan smiled and thought about the available personnel in his mind, and suddenly said, "I feel that the cultivation and management of rice should be handed over to Master Liu."
Liucheng?
Feng Lingzun sneered in his heart.
Why is this man again?
In Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes, is he so trustworthy?
"Aifei, how do you think Master Liu is competent for this matter? You know, he is just a small servant in the Ministry of Rites."
"It doesn't matter what the official position is, what matters is that he has this ability."
Hearing this, Feng Lingzun couldn't help frowning.
It seems that Liucheng's weight in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's heart cannot be underestimated.
"However, I am worried that Mr. Liu may not be qualified for rice planting and management, after all, he has never been in contact with it."
"Of course you can rest assured that the concubine knows that Mr. Liu has not been in the capital for a long time, but after getting along with him during this time, the concubine feels that he is very talented in learning and can definitely complete this task."
"Well, I will entrust this task to him, and hope that he will not disappoint my expectations."
Feng Lingzun finally nodded.
He just thought about it, and sent Liucheng to the south to save him from always appearing in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"If this solves the problem of food, then I can feel at ease."
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the value of rice is very important. If this planting technology can be popularized, it will definitely make the East Lin country prosperous."
"I hope so."
Feng Lingzun couldn't help sighing, "The food problem can be solved, but what about the most important water source problem?"
"About the water source, has the emperor heard that animals and plants are used to find water sources?"
"Never heard of it."
"Your Majesty should know that most animals have to divert water at regular intervals, especially grass-eating animals, and they will not be far away from the water source. They usually divert water at fixed places in the early morning and dusk. Generally, they only need to find the trails they often pass by and move towards the lower terrain. If you look for low places, you can basically find water sources.”
"I didn't expect Concubine Ai to have such a novel idea, and I really didn't see the wrong person."
Shangguan smiled.
If it weren't for Xiao Qi, how could he have thought of these methods.
For myself, who was a scumbag in my previous life, I was thankful that I could understand it.
