The emperor was very angry about this, and she felt that she had been refuted by these veterans.

The emperor deliberately ignored the appeals of several veterans. Unfortunately, these veterans had different statuses and had great influence in the court. The emperor could not really follow his own temper and not give them any face.

But she was absolutely unwilling to ask the emperor to submit and bow his head to his ministers. Neither side would bow their head. For a while, the emperor and several of her old ministers were in a stalemate.

It's not a problem to be in such a stalemate all the time. It's disrespectful for the veterans to press the emperor for a long time.

And if the emperor leaves his old ministers alone for a long time, he is not considerate of his ministers and does not value talents, and will lose people's hearts, although the emperor actually has no people to lose.

Just when this stalemate made the emperor anxious and had a headache, Lin Guijun came to give the emperor another idea.

Then the emperor actually listened to his favorite Lin Guijun's advice and sent people to the areas where drought was about to occur. He said that Qintian monitoring had calculated that there would be a severe drought here, and asked the people to take precautions on their own.

Such a handling method was simply irresponsible to the extreme. The two veterans were so angry that they resigned from their posts and retired.

When the people heard such a nonsensical imperial edict, they had no other reaction other than being confused.

Qin Tian Jian is a remote official position, too far away from the people. Many people don't even know what the so-called Qin Tian Jian is. As for the drought, not many people believe it.

The common people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in their hearts. Although they are afraid of the imperial power, what the emperor wants to say is that other common people will never dare to have any objection.

But whether there is a drought or not is decided by God. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he can't control this place. Not to mention that the emperor still listens to what the Qintian Supervisor says, which makes the people instinctively resist.

The common people all felt that since there had been a drought in the previous year, there should be no drought this year. However, the few people who believed it had no choice. If there was going to be a drought, what could they, as mortals, do?

Burn incense and worship Buddha, asking God to give you food and prevent drought.

In this way, everyone knew that there would be a severe drought here, but unfortunately no one took it seriously.

Now, as soon as Qi and Guan started to collect grain, everyone remembered the imperial edict about Qin Tian's monitoring and calculation that there would be a severe drought in the local area.

Regarding this imperial edict, there are really almost no people who believe in the severe drought, because the emperor does not like Qin Tianjian. This dynasty Qin Tianjian is very low-key. No one knows whether their calculations are accurate.

And the nature of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages gives them the instinct to only accept the good and deny the bad, so the drought has been considered a joke by default, especially since the rain in these few days has been particularly good.

Seeing Qi Guan Shuangshuang continuously selling grain back home, many people already thought Qi Guan Shuangshuang was stupid.

I just feel that Qi Guan Shuangshuang is still young, and no matter how powerful his business methods were in the past, he was still a bit immature.

She actually believed Qin Tianjian's words that there would be a severe drought here. Was she planning to take advantage of the drought to make a fortune? She was not afraid of having food thrown into her hands!

Many people saw Qi Guan Shuang being busy collecting food and made sarcastic remarks, mocking Qi Guan Shuang for being crazy and wanting to get rich and that they would definitely have to pay compensation. Qi Gong Shuangshuang completely turned a deaf ear to this and did not take it to heart at all.

She knew that after the severe drought, although several officials in the disaster-stricken areas immediately reported the disaster situation to the court, it was a pity that the court's decision was delayed.

It stands to reason that disaster relief is an urgent matter that cannot be delayed for a moment. Unfortunately, it has become a loose ball in front of the emperor's favorite ministers and Lin Guijun. It will be postponed today and kicked tomorrow, but it has not been solved for a long time.

After finally negotiating, more than a month had passed since the emperor issued the order, not to mention that after the work started, officials from all walks of life had to deduct benefits at all levels.

In the end, it was just a simple matter of collecting disaster relief food, but it was delayed until the people had to change their food and eat.

The emperor of this dynasty was so stupid, but the disaster lasted for thousands of years. After her death, the whole country was shaken by her troubles.

If the next emperor hadn't been a rare wise king, able to turn the tide and put things in order, this dynasty would have turned into the previous dynasty.

It is a pity that because he worked too hard to govern the world, the successor Mingjun was exhausted and died in the imperial court after only fourteen years in office.

But this wise emperor was busy governing a country full of problems, but he had no time to properly train his descendants, leaving him with no successors.

The next emperor after her death was an even more mediocre emperor, who lived extravagantly in eating, drinking, having fun, but in just ten years he failed to manage the country that her mother had worked so hard to manage.

Qi Guan and Qi Guan both experienced the turmoil of the country's dynasty changes in their later years. At that time, Qi Guan's family, which was already a giant, was the fat in the eyes of all the rebel kings, and everyone wanted to win over and take a bite of it.

In order for the Qi Guan family to survive such a turmoil, both Qigong and Qi not only could not rest in their later years, but had to work very hard to make various plans for the Qi Guan family.

Although they finally succeeded in embracing the Qi Guan family, successfully invested in the new emperor, and established a stable position in the new dynasty and became an imperial merchant, both Qi and Guan really did not want to look at the memory of that laborious process.

Being old and unable to live out his old age in peace, and having to work hard for Qi Guan's family is exhausting. Both Qi Guan and Qi Guan thought that if possible, it would be better not to go to such trouble.

Of course, Qi Guan Shuangshuang didn't even think about investing in the new emperor. It would be too tiring, so she just had the idea of ​​finding an overseas fairy island, occupying the mountain as the king, and becoming the owner of the island herself.

At this time, people can survive overseas, but there are not many small islands without owners. As long as you are willing to pay attention, you can easily find them.

It is best if the island is larger and self-sufficient, not too far from the landing, and not too close to the land.

In the peaceful years, she did business on land, and when the turmoil came, she closed her doors and closed her doors. No trouble could come to her head, so that she could spend her remaining years in peace and contentment. It was very beautiful to think about it.

The days went by while others watched, and both Qi and Guan were busy storing food. Soon, signs of drought appeared. First, it was supposed to be a rainy season, but there was no rain for seven consecutive days.

Some experienced farmers have noticed that something is wrong and have begun to look for water sources from various places and water the land manually. They are busy watering from morning to night every day to ensure that the land will not dry out and crack.

After half a month without rain, people found that the water levels in wells and rivers began to drop, and some villages close to the mountains found that the streams on the mountains had begun to dry up.

By this time, the crops in the land are basically dying of thirst. The farmers are just instinctively unwilling to give up and are still working hard to get water to irrigate the fields.
