Wu Nian shook his head and said, "I don't need to punish me, you have already punished yourself." As he said that, Wu Nian turned his head and looked at the two dead people rolled in the straw mat.

Not only these two people, but also dozens of injured people. The punishment is already severe enough.

Then he stood up, looked around the people with his tiger eyes and said, "Since you believe me, I will just say it."

"Can a living person still be suffocated to death by urine? That's right. Now God doesn't give him food, but I am there. Back then, Liu Bei was just a straw sandal seller. But he eventually became emperor in Chengdu and ruled the country."

"So, man conquers nature."

"I will naturally make a charter to ensure that you will not starve to death. Besides, if it is a desperate situation, we have millions and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. I will take you into the Mongolian Yuan to support the war. It is better to die in the enemy country than to starve to death in the field."

"Go home."

Wu Nian said this and waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes." Of course, the people believed Wu Nian. They responded loudly, stood up, bowed to Wu Nian with fists, and then left in two groups.

The two poor people who died were also taken away by them.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping also stood up. The two looked at each other, then looked at the riverbed next to them. The water flow was already pitifully small.

They sighed together.

Wu Nian looked back at them, without taking their personal soldiers, walked along the riverbed, lowered his head to ponder. I don’t know how long he had walked, but Wu Nian stood still, turned to look at Liu Zhixing, Zhang Haiping, and said, “I remembered the past.”

"In the past, I raised an army to deal with the Mongolian Yuan people. Many people were suspicious and did not believe me. There were thousands of Han people and thousands of commanders who raised an army to deal with me."

"Even now, there must be some people who have doubts about the inconsistency between the Yan Han and the Mongolian Yuan."

"But they all believe me."

"This is all my prestige accumulated bit by bit over the years. So I thought of a way, only I can do this way."

"Only the two governments can do it."

Speaking of this, Wu Nian's eyes flashed with a look of confidence.

"Huh?" Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping all showed surprise, and then they were overjoyed. Now they were in a state of burning eyebrows, but they had no choice.

Wu Nian has a solution, of course it is the best.

"Please tell me the general." Liu Zhixing took a deep breath and said sincerely.

"This water is limited. I cannot guarantee that all the land can have water. If I don't do anything, the people will fight because of the water source, which will happen from time to time."

"All fields will die of drought."

"Issuing an announcement. We organized officials who are good at agriculture to go to various places for inspection and construction of water conservancy. I will not say anything about the matter of establishing water conservancy. The order has been issued before."

"What we need to do now. First protect the crops that can be protected and abandon the crops that cannot be protected."

"Use my prestige to make the people believe that I will not starve a person to death."

"What do you think?"

Wu Nian asked with his head up.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping took a breath. They instinctively felt that this was impossible and almost blurted out.

This person is all selfish. The people of the two villages fought for water sources and killed two people and injured dozens of people.

How is this possible? First protect the crops that can be protected and abandon the crops that cannot be protected?

Who should I protect? Who should I abandon?

Of course, those who are protected are ecstatic. Those who are abandoned may turn against each other tomorrow.

But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this was really feasible. Wu Nian had prestige and could do many incredible things.

If the emperor of Chu issued an order and did something similar, it would probably not work. However, Wu Nian's announcement would be successful.

The two key words are [Xinyi].

Water is limited. It is impossible to protect all the fields in the two palaces and twelve cities. Selectively protect crops that are easy to preserve. For example, the fields beside the water source. If you subdivided them, you should first protect the good fields and abandon the bad fields.

If such a thing can be accomplished, it is very likely that the two governments will survive the crisis.

Of course, this operation will definitely cause chaos. But in addition to Xinyi, Wu Nian also had more than 100,000 elite soldiers with strict military discipline, which was enough to suppress Xiao Xiao and obey everyone.

"General. This is feasible, but it has great risks. I think we can issue an announcement first to test it. If the public is furious, we must immediately revoke the announcement to avoid collapse." Liu Zhixing thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Well. Although the orders are changed every day, you will lose your credit. But you can attack and defend when you retreat." Wu Nian nodded, agreeing with Liu Zhixing's preparations.

"After you go back, you can go back and do it. See how many crops you can protect. If you can protect 20% of the crops, you can survive this year and last until next autumn."

"But I still have one more worry."

Wu Nian said this, sighed and said, "Locust plague."

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping were both silent. Both of them were scholars, and they had rich theoretical knowledge after reading more.

"This year, the drought is severe, and locusts are rising."

"A year of severe drought, locusts arise, people are famine, and they change their children and eat."

Every word in history books is blood.

This drought is often accompanied by locust plagues. Of course, they do not understand the truth, but only think that this is the law of the movement of heaven and earth.

But Wu Nian understands.

This is auspicious snow that indicates a good harvest. Good snow can kill insects and keep warm. After the heavy snow melts, it moistens the earth.

If water resources are sufficient, the food chain will work. For example, drought causes a large-scale reduction in frogs.

Frogs eat locusts.

One rises and the other falls, and the number of locusts will increase exponentially.

Even if Wu Nian can use his prestige to let the people suppress their nature, stop killing each other, compete for water sources, and give priority to ensuring the irrigation of crops that can be protected.

But if the locusts pass through the border, I'm afraid everything will be a dream bubble.

When locusts are swarming, they are more terrifying than rain. They cover the sky and the sun, form a [demon cloud] and fall, eat everything they can eat, and then fly to the next place.

At that time, even if Wu Nian had more than 100,000 elite soldiers in his hand, he would have guarded Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture like an iron barrel, as stable as Mount Tai.

The Mongol Yuan people, Chu people, and Fusang pirates could not even step into the second palace. But facing the locusts that covered the sky and the sun, they were probably helpless.

"It's up to you to see your life. It's really not possible. Just as the general said. We led a million people to the Mongolian Yuan to support the war."

"Fight to the death. Either survive or die in the Mongols."

Liu Zhixing sighed and shook his head and said.

"Oh." Zhang Haiping sighed, not optimistic about this [Fighting for War]. Relying on the green mountains, Wu Nian, who is in the city, is powerful.

It's a shark in the water.

Once you leave Qingshan and the city, without logistics guarantees, you will be alone and you will be starving to death.

"Don't be discouraged, I have some solutions." Wu Nian laughed instead and said.
