Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 43: Drought

At the end of February, there was still a rain, not heavy, but precious.

After February, the academy started, and this year my daughter is also going to study in the academy. In the past few days, I followed Lu Bu to lay the groundwork during the day and study in the evening. My daughter seems to have changed a bit, but it will not be too obvious in a few days, but Lu Bu He was keenly aware of it, and he was really happy about it.

Because the children Dianman, Hua An, and Xu Yun are already studying in the academy, and there are many children of soldiers and soldiers entering this year, Lu Bu did not send them off in person. It is enough for the oldest Dianman and Hua An to take Lu Lingqi with them. , Between children, it is better to have less comparisons.

Compared to this, what Lu Bu was worried about still happened. There were only two rains in the whole March, and it was still the kind of drizzle, which lasted less than a day. In April, this season should have the most rain, but the whole In April there was no rain.

Standing on the hill, looking at the fields in the distance, a water dragon car has been formed. Under the control of Ma Jun and other craftsmen, the water dragon car is turned by the force of the river water, and buckets of water are poured into the canal to start Spreading along the canal to the field, the cheers of the people in the field can be clearly heard.

"Actually, I miss you more and my prediction was wrong." Lu Bu's lips were a little dry, he looked at the people in the field, sighed leisurely, and looked at Guo Jia beside him.

"In such troubled times, it is really a blessing for the people in Guanzhong to be able to be a master like my lord!" As he spoke, he lifted the wine bag around his waist and wanted to take a sip, but Lu Bu took it smoothly and poured it down hard Two bites.

Lu Bu seldom drank alcohol on weekdays, but at this moment he really wanted to get drunk. The feeling of powerlessness of human beings in front of the mighty power of heaven and earth was really uncomfortable. Being the protagonist was a lot of pressure!

On the other side, Jia Xu looked at the water dragon cart in the distance, and said with a smile: "The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, my lord, if we can get through this drought year safely, no one will be able to shake people's hearts."

Lu Bu is now leading Ma Jun and other craftsmen to divert water and open canals. This is already going against the sky. In addition, disaster relief will inevitably begin in the future. If this severe drought can be passed safely, for Lu Bu, even It's useless for someone to break through Chang'an now, but the hearts of the people in Guanzhong are absolutely for Lu Bu.

The best things in this world are always formed after a lot of tempering.

Of course, not everyone can bear all these trials and tribulations.

"It's too noble, so I won't say it." Lu Bu threw the wine bag to Guo Jia who looked disgusted, looked at the land in front of him, suddenly felt heroic, and said loudly: "Millions of lives are lost in this pass. I saved it!"

If the sky wants to kill me, will I just stand by? Thinking too much?

At present, Lu Bu personally participated. He didn't know craftsmen, so he could only do some manual work, helping to carry materials and equipment. When he did this, the busy craftsmen and peasants around him suddenly became more motivated.

Seeing this, Dian Wei also followed Lu Bu. Both of them were born with supernatural power. One person can use his strength as seven or eight. When the two joined, the effect was greatly accelerated. Soon, another water dragon was erected. , A large amount of river water was diverted to be poured into the canal.

"Will Mr. Wen He go with you?" Guo Jia was infected by this emotion, rolled up his cuffs, looked at Jia Xu and smiled.

"You and I are different from him." Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, it's better to be young, so energetic, how can he look like himself?

Seeing Lu Bu lift the huge wooden frame and stride like flying, the country felt that what Jia Xu said was reasonable, and the two of them would probably cause trouble when the two of them passed by, so they sat down again, took a cup of tea from the tea boy and said with a smile: "I really want to see what it will look like next year?"

"It won't be too bad." Jia Xu nodded. Although Guanzhong is suffering now, people's hearts are hot and they are full of hope for the future. It is obviously a drought year, but the scene in front of them does seem to be full of vitality.

"It seems that the Battle of Hedong should be decided quickly." Guo Jia thought while groping for the tiny beard under his jaw.

Jia Xu nodded and didn't answer. Guo Jia planned this matter. When the news of Gongsun Zan's killing of Liu Yu came, Guo Jia was already planning for it. Jia Xu didn't want to take credit, so this He didn't interfere.

Guo Jia squeezed the soil with his hands and said with a smile: "We are still short of the last fire, but we need Xu Huang's help in this matter."

Although Xu Huang was recruited by Lu Bu, he only had the position of a school lieutenant, and he never had the opportunity to perform meritorious service. Naturally, it was impossible to confer rewards. However, Xu Huang will be a sharp sword in Guo Jia's hands this time to pacify Hedong. Yes, and after this battle, if Xu Huang's performance is still outstanding, a riding captain will not be able to escape.

"This person's nature is a bit cold, how to use it needs to be carefully considered by the filial piety." Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.

The so-called cold nature is actually not completely derogatory, it just means that this person treats his feelings indifferently, Xu Huang is this kind of person, and his mood swings are not big. There is almost no hesitation, so it is impossible to use this person to expect him to be absolutely loyal to Lu Bu like Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Zhang Liao.

Lu Bu obviously saw this too, so when he went to fight the Xiongnu before, he didn't touch this person, which was regarded as oppression, but this time he attacked Hedong, but he gave him the opportunity, which was regarded as a kindness, and at the same time, he was sure of his point.

Because in Xu Huang's eyes, Yang Feng's kindness has already been repaid, so he will not have the slightest nostalgia for the Baibo thief. As long as this kind of person feels that he has a clear conscience, he will not hold back when he hits you, even if he was a friend before. .

Jia Xu obviously saw Lu Bu's intentions, so he pointed it out. Guo Jia's resourcefulness should be able to tell, but after all, young people are easy to get ahead, and once they get on top, their wisdom will be lost.

When Guo Jia heard this, he looked at Jia Xu speechlessly. How could he fail to see such a simple matter? How much Jia Wenhe underestimated himself.

Jia Xu picked up the teacup and looked into the distance, being careful not to make any serious mistakes. When Hedong was taken, Zhang Yang, who had been persuaded before, was completely bordering Lu Bu. He asked him to hand over his military power, and then tried to recruit Chang'an as an official.

It was precisely because of the importance that Jia Xu reminded her.

"Thank you sir for your point." Guo Jia obviously didn't buy Jia Xu's point. No one wants to listen to others, especially when the other party may not be better than himself. The more powerful the arrogance is The more people there are.

Seeing that Jia Xu didn't mean to be right with him, Guo Jia had no choice but to give up. This Mr. Jia Wenhe is simply...a great talent, but he doesn't want to show off his strengths. He spends his days doing easy things. He can guarantee that Jia Xu is definitely more diligent than the cattle in the field, and Jia Xu's current appearance is clearly the result of Lu Bu's connivance.

It's just that how Lu Bu employs people, as a subordinate, Guo Jia can't interfere too much, but it's a pity that Jia Xu is so big that he doesn't need it.

Looking at Jia Xu's leisurely demeanor, the image of him plowing the land appeared in Guo Jia's mind, and he felt much refreshed.

On the other side, Lu Bu didn't know what was going on in the hearts of his two advisers, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't bother to care about it.

After another water dragon was erected, the water in the river was continuously drawn out and poured into the canals, and the criss-crossing canals provided water for the fields.

"Deheng, how long will this water dragon vehicle last?" Lu Bu looked at the standing water dragon vehicle, and then looked at Ma Jun beside him and said.

"Lord...my lord...don't worry, this...this year is...absolutely...absolutely no problem!" Ma Jun smiled and pulled Yang Xiu beside him, took the wooden branch from the opponent's hand, and quickly writing text on the ground.

Yang Xiu understood, and said to Lu Bu: "According to calculations, many canals have stopped flowing this year because the water level of the river has dropped and cannot be poured backwards. Now this water dragon is combined with some Roman mathematics, and it is even more perfect. As long as the water level is not lower than three feet, it can be used all the time to draw water from the river to irrigate the fields."

"But it seems that there are quite a lot of water dragons needed." Lu Bu looked around. In just a few miles, three water dragons were built. If the construction continues all the way, how much will the entire Guanzhong need?

"This is also a helpless move. Otherwise, the people will have no harvest this year. This water dragon can irrigate a hundred acres of fields. These people alone are not enough, so I hope the Lord can call more craftsmen or peasants to build it. Water dragon, the method of building this water dragon is not difficult, but it requires a lot of wood."

"It doesn't matter, I will prepare these." Lu Bu waved his hand, as long as there is a way to overcome the natural disaster, there is no shortage of manpower and material resources in Guanzhong, what is lacking is a way to save the people, even if it is stupid, as long as it is worth a try.

At the moment, Lu Bu sent people to order the armies of all parties to gather craftsmen from all over the place, and then issued the method of making water dragon cars, so that the armies from all over the country would cooperate with craftsmen to build water dragon cars. There are not many soldiers and horses, far from enough.

Throughout April, Lu Bu was running along the Weishui and Jinghe Rivers in Guanzhong. Where there is no river, there is no way. The people can only be rescued through disaster relief, but the fields on both sides must be preserved. Not so easy to hold on to.

The severe drought in Guanzhong is naturally not a good thing for the people in Guanzhong, but it is a joy for the princes everywhere. The worse Lu Bu is, the happier the princes are.

After all, it has now become a de facto separatist situation, but Lu Bu holds the emperor in his hand, which is like pressing a mountain on top of everyone. No one is happy, but no one can do anything, especially the existence of the Chuanguo Yuxi, which makes Liu Xie the emperor With extremely strong legitimacy, Guanzhong is now unlucky. Maybe this year starvation will be everywhere, and Lu Bu's finally stable situation may also completely collapse with this drought.

If this is the case, this time, the princes who have seen Liu Xie's power will all be moved. If Lu Bu falls, he must hold the emperor in his hands as soon as possible!
