"It's not obvious yet. The temperature will rise sharply starting next month, and there will be no precipitation, so the water will appear to be less."
"Do you think this Zhuangzi can be defended?" He Yunxi was a little worried.
"In my previous life, April and May were fine, and everyone was still persevering. In June, people began to flee, with the largest number of refugees in June and July. It ended after the rains started in August," Lu Yan recalled.
"Are there many refugees?"
"There were many people in my previous life." Lu Yan didn't want to recall the scene of people dying of hunger. Seeing He Yunxi becoming more and more worried, he comforted him: "But this life is different from the previous life. If there is food relief in this life, the refugees will not leave their homeland easily.
Even if there are people from other places, they will not attack Zhuangzi if there is relief. When the time comes, if people are here to guard him, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Attacking Zhuangzi means death. If you receive relief, at least you can still live.
"Most people are still relatively cowardly. They don't dare to do evil unless they are forced to the verge of life and death." Lu Yan said, "What is more important now is how much food there is and whether it is enough for disaster relief."
"I think there should be a lot of food in the cave." He Yunxi said, "I just don't know the specific number. And I heard from Master that the granary in Luohe Mansion has been built and there is some food reserves in it. Besides, this year everyone has
Be prepared, and the situation should be much better."
"Speaking of this, it's really good that you proposed building water conservancy projects before. It not only alleviated last year's cold winter, but also alleviated this year's drought." Lu Yan admired her, "There were no water conservancy projects in my previous life, and the land far away from the river was almost grainy.
No harvest. Not to mention the refugees in other places, almost all the people here in Yanjiang County have become refugees."
With the water conservancy project in this life, not only the harvest will be preserved, but at least there will be no harvest. Coupled with disaster relief, this day will not be desperate.
"Water conservancy projects have always made great contributions to the present and will benefit the future." He Yunxi lamented, "In our world, there are water conservancy projects left over from ancient times, such as the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, which still plays an important role even though it has lasted thousands of years.
In fact, if national strength allows it, it would be good to build more water conservancy projects."
"If you have a chance in the future, you can try it."
"I heard that some people have already started to store water. Fortunately, you are a reborn person and can give everyone warning in advance. Otherwise, I can't imagine what it would have been like in my previous life."
"Let's not talk to each other here." Lu Yan took her hand and kissed it, "When are you going to open this roast duck restaurant?"
"Tomorrow." He Yunxi said, "This duck has been implemented, and the others are also ready. This copper hot pot restaurant will be directly converted into a roast duck restaurant, and there will be no trouble."
"Then I will bring my classmates to support us tomorrow."
"Thank you then!"
"Sir, madam, a group of officials came outside and asked you to come over." Fufeng said at the door.
He Yunxi and Lu Yan looked at each other, got up from the rocking chairs together, and went outside.
In the main hall, Luo Zixi, Meng Yunhu, and several other government officials were waiting for He Yunxi and Lu Yan. Seeing them, Luo Zixi said directly: "Are you the current owner of this Zhuangzi?"
"Yes, my lord."
"We interrogated the Yao family and said that they put something on Zhuangzi and came here to investigate. Please lead the way."
"Why don't we know if there are any illegal things on our Zhuangzi?" Lu Yan asked.
"Since we have asked, it is definitely confirmed." Meng Yunhu said, "We are just here to inform you."
"Yes. Students understand." Lu Yan pulled He Yunxi and took a step back. "If you want to search, please be careful and don't scare my younger brothers and sisters. They are all resting in the backyard."
"What we are looking for is not in the yard, but on the mountain. You can lead the way." Luo Zixi said.
"On the mountain?" Lu Yan was puzzled, "We have been to this mountain several times and we haven't found anything hidden. Sir..."
Seeing Luo Zixi's face getting darker and darker, Lu Yan swallowed back what he said and said, "Student, please lead the way, sir."
Lu Yan took Luo Zixi and the others away, while He Yunxi stayed. But she was not panicked because this was what she had agreed with Pei Yuan and the others before.
In this way, the Lu family can be picked out to the greatest extent.
Lu Yan took them and pretended to search for it, and then found the cave under Luo Zixi's guidance.
Before entering the cave, he said to Lu Yan: "You go back first. When you go back, take people to live outside. This transferred village will not be occupied for the time being."
Lu Yan responded obediently and took a curious look into the cave before leaving. Meng Yunhu glared at him and urged him to leave.
Lu Yan left, and the man in the dark also left in a hurry.
The Yao family actually claimed this place. Now that the people from the imperial court are here, this place cannot be defended!
The master must be reported immediately!
After Lu Yan went back, he told everyone to pack their things, as this Zhuangzi could not be lived in for the time being.
Everyone was shocked. The imperial envoy came just now, but now he can’t live there. Is his house going to be ransacked?
Seeing that Mrs. Liu and the little guys were so frightened, He Yunxi quickly explained: "It has nothing to do with us. It's a matter of the Yao family before. Don't worry, we can come back after the matter is resolved in a few days."
After hearing that it was about the Yao family, they relaxed, packed up their things quickly, and left Zhuangzi in a hurry.
They went to the city to find an inn to stay, and Lu Yan went to Louwailou to keep his appointment.
Luo Zixi saw piles of weapons, a cave full of silver, and an unknown amount of food. He knew that there were a lot of things here before coming here, but now he was shocked.
Soon, after receiving the news, Pei Yuan came with his men. A group of soldiers entered Zhuangzi and occupied the entire mountain.
At the hot pot restaurant outside the building, Lu Yan, several students from the college, and two wives were eating heartily.
"This hot pot is really delicious, no wonder the business is so booming!" Yu Shaoyu was stung by the spicy food and still couldn't stop.
"That's right. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, bar none." Huang Yumin agreed, "It's a pity that this restaurant is opened in Liocheng. It would be great if there was one in Yanjiang City!"
"Yes, yes!" Another student Liu Mingming said, "Lu Yan, I heard that this is owned by my younger brother and sister, why not open it in the county?"
Lu Yan smiled: "I don't know much about this, but my wife said that the cost is relatively high, so the charges are higher. There are fewer people in the county who can afford this consumption, so we brought this to Liaocheng.
"
Liu Feng and Qin Mingyue also came, but they were obviously out of shape. Especially Liu Feng, who occasionally looked at Lu Yan with complicated eyes, but there was no longer the arrogance and disdain in the past.
His uncle, the chief minister of Liaocheng and the backbone of the Liu family, was fired from his post during the great purge of Liaozhou, and his backer, the Yao family, also fell. He could no longer be arrogant.
