It's just coquettishness. "

Then Shen Yuan gave him a fierce look.

You Hongyin said: "The emperor does not need to be so cautious. The only way to rule is to make clear rewards and punishments. You should know that I have never regarded your brothers and sisters as domestic servants. They will all be of great use in the future."

Shen Yuan's brows were filled with joy: "Of course we understand that Master has worked hard and will not belittle oneself."

"Hongyan's affairs cannot be suspended, but it doesn't hurt to rest in Gaomi for a while." You Hongyin said: "I have prepared a residence for the two of you in Gaomi City. The servants are also ready for Yuanxi, but, say It’s a vacation, but don’t take it seriously like you have nothing to do.”

After exchanging feelings with his apprentice, You Hongyin stayed in Guo Mansion for one night. On the second day, except for Hu Wei who continued to stay for training, everyone else followed You Hongyin back to Gaomi City.

Shen Yuan has been wandering outside for several years. He said that he has been accompanied by his cousin all the time. After all, he has endured a lot of hardships. Now that he has his own residence, it means that the master has officially recognized that he and his cousin are no longer the same. 'House slave'.

This is actually the main purpose of his request for credit.

Unlike Hu Gui and Hu Wei who didn't care about their status as servants, Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong came from good families. Although their families were not considered rich, they were not slaves. Naturally, they felt very guilty about their status and felt guilty to their ancestors.

Now everything is given by the Lord, and Ming Gan will not forget it for five days, but it will be better if he can regain his freedom.

There is no unreasonable loyalty in the world, and it is impossible for someone to have no selfish motives at all. You Hongyin naturally understands this truth, so he has never been too demanding in this regard, and he must still give him the treatment he deserves.

"Master really understands us and actually arranged for us to live together." Shen Yuan said to Yu Chaozong with a smile.

Yu Chaozong said helplessly: "Aren't you done freshening up yet? You've been wandering around for a long time."

Shen Yuan said: "The two of us were wandering before, and then we stayed under the shelter of others with our master, and then we wandered around with my cousin in the past few years. To be precise, the two of us have not had a relationship for almost ten years. My own home.”

Yu Chaozong touched Shen Yuan's head and didn't care if he was avoided. The two brothers had been inseparable for so many years. The more they got along, the better they got to know each other. It was normal to behave in a close manner.

"Hey, this time we met, I feel that Hu Wei has changed a lot." Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong talked about gossip: "I always feel that Master has taught a good Hu man to become something sinister."

"Don't be rude to junior brother." Yu Chaozong said.

Shen Yuan and Hu Gui had the same temperament. Although they were not in tit-for-tat with Hu Wei, they did have some auras that were at odds with each other. Of course, everyone understands this kind of thing, and it's just that they don't like it, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, the brothers study together, practice martial arts together, and are punished by the master together, and the relationship is always deep.

"It's not rude, it just feels like he is more cunning than before." Shen Yuan said.

Yu Chaozong said: "If you are not smart about controlling Heming, you will not be able to help your lord."

"Cousin, you are also in charge of Hongyan, so you haven't changed much." Shen Yuan muttered.

Yu Chaozong did not answer the call.

Only he knows how he has become, so why should he tell Yuan'er about it?

"Hey, I didn't see Senior Brother again this time." Shen Yuan didn't know what suddenly occurred to him, and he sighed loudly: "I see that Master is so busy, it will definitely be much easier if Senior Brother is by his side. Cousin, can you Know where the elder brother has gone."

Yu Chaozong said: "Elder brother is the most valued by the lord. If he hasn't appeared in the past few years, he naturally has important things to do. Just draw the map and don't worry about so many things."

Shen Yuan agreed, and then hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare lunch here. He planned to see with his own eyes what the master was like outside. Even though he could see it from the letter, it was still not as good as what he saw with his own eyes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan only hung around for three or four days before he got a new appointment.

He became the magistrate of Gaomi County and was responsible for establishing a 'literacy class'.

"Master is so annoying!" Shen Yuan couldn't help complaining.

There was a smile on Yu Chaozong's face, and he said: "My lord is about the same age as you. He is usually mature and steady, and his heart is full of energy, but occasionally he still has some youthful temper. You said he is so busy, how can he let him go?" You really took it easy for the first half of the year.”

Shen Yuan started to practice hard without tears.

Write a plan.

Their brothers and sisters all have this habit of doing things. They plan everything before doing something, then consider various problems in detail. After getting the solution, they fill in the omissions of all parties, and then officially start to do it.

In fact, this literacy program is not to make everyone literate, but to sign up freely and teach some common words and arithmetic.

Yu Chaozong read what Shen Yuan had muttered and scrawled and rewritten, and his heart trembled.

Yu Chaozong admired his lord who was younger than himself, but it seemed that at some point, his admiration would go further.

Teaching can be transformed by effectiveness; people can be transformed by custom.

This kind of thinking is advocated by Confucianism. In today's environment where aristocratic families monopolize knowledge, this kind of move is simply an enemy of the aristocratic families.

What's more, even Confucianism advocates "education through etiquette" rather than teaching people how to fish. Opening up the people's wisdom means that the people are no longer easy to deceive and no longer easy to rule.

However, this is most beneficial to the people at the lowest level.

Thinking back to the time when his two brothers were separated from their family, they would not have fallen to the point of not being able to afford food, but because they were illiterate, they were deceived and their money and valuables were taken away.

If the two of them could read, this problem would not have occurred.

He can only superficially see this benefit now, as for the deeper level, maybe he can understand it when his life experience is richer.

The lord is really a world hero who is dedicated to the people.

You Hongyin didn't know what shock his actions had brought to his two apprentices. He was flipping through a record.

He actually did something a long time ago, but after taking over Gaomi County, he couldn't do it himself, so he arranged two literate servants to do it.

Collect weather, rainfall, astrology data, and record the water level in the territory in detail.

Now he is flipping through these records and realizes that the "natural disaster" he guessed before may not be far away.

Since the beginning of winter, the rainfall has decreased too much. Combined with various situations, I am afraid that there will be a severe drought in the world in spring!

Qingzhou is a place with many rocks and little rain. It has not suffered many floods, but droughts can kill ordinary people. Sometimes, not to mention growing crops, even drinking water has become a problem.

This is why You Hongyin overcame all difficulties as soon as he took office. The first thing he dealt with was the public facilities such as canals and wells, for fear of drought.

Who knows, what you fear will come true. Drought is inevitable in this situation.

We must prepare in advance.

Chapter 191: The Elegance of Celebrities (XVIII)

At some point, it is nonsense to say that man can conquer nature.

When facing natural disasters, the power of any person is insignificant. Only by uniting together can there be a glimmer of hope.

You Hongyin began to think about how to deal with it.

Qingzhou is suffering from a severe drought, and other states will naturally not be able to escape. Then two years of war and more taxes will be levied. I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to survive. Now this situation of each state doing its own thing and local wars may be broken. At that time, the whole country will be displaced and disasters will arise.

First of all, it is necessary to prepare for drought resistance on his own land, and then take advantage of this period to greatly expand his own strength.

What to do, or think more.

You Hongyin ordered the maid: "Please ask Cao Changshi and Mr. Fan to come over, and say that there is something to discuss."

Cao Lin came soon. Since he went to various counties to collect refugees, he has not made any big moves. Now Gaomi County has been operating at a high speed. If other tasks are imposed, there may be chaos. At this moment, it is better to be quiet than to move. Cao Lin began to pay more attention to the intelligence from all parties. In addition to assisting Fan Wuya in handling internal affairs, he was more often analyzing the intelligence from all parties.

"What is the matter with the lord's urgent call?" Cao Lin was surprised.

His lord is very capable in handling affairs. He rarely encounters difficulties and rarely calls his subordinates to discuss any problems. Most of the time, the lord acts as if he has a grand plan in his mind, doing things one by one in order, and rarely encounters difficulties.

Although it is easy to feel lost as a subordinate, it is not a bad thing to have a capable lord. Gaomi is a small place now, and all the trivial matters are handled by Fan Wuya. There are not many things that the lord needs to decide and deal with. When the territory is larger in the future, the situation will naturally become more and more complicated, and there will be more and more things. That is the time for me to really share the worries of the lord. ↓This work↓is↓organized↓uploaded↓by↓SiTu↓online↓read↓netizens↓

"There are some problems. Shushi, please sit down and drink tea first, and wait for Ziji to come and discuss together." You Hongyin said.

Ziji is Fan Wuya, and soon he came over.

When the two sat down, You Hongyin did not keep them in suspense and quickly explained the matter.

"Severe drought!" Cao Lin and Fan Wuya shouted at the same time, and their faces were not very good.

Now the world is unstable, and there are natural disasters. Individuals will not look good.

When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer.

"Where did the lord get the news?" Fan Wuya asked, "Is it from some astronomer? How sure is this news?"

"This news is about 70% accurate." You Hongyin didn't say anything else.

Cao Lin said; "Then did the lord call us to discuss drought prevention policies?"

"Half and half." You Hongyin said.

Fan Tianya is very familiar with the local people's livelihood, customs, etc. This place has experienced drought many years ago, so after thinking for a while, he said: "If the news is so accurate, then we really have to start taking preventive measures."

"Does Zi Ji have a good prescription?" You Hongyin asked.

"Fortunately, the lord has already built ditches before. These ditches can prevent water from seeping into the land and reduce water loss. He has also insisted on building deep wells. I think even if there is a severe drought, at least the people should not have a problem with water." Fan Wuya said.

You Hongyin did not comment. Although Fan Wuya was capable and careful, he was not creative and did not like to break the old rules. He liked to keep things the same. Therefore, he could be a capable official, but he could not be independent.

Seeing that You Hongyin did not change his expression, Fan Wuya continued: "If the government office can make ends meet next year, the taxes can be slightly reduced."

Then he talked about some conventional measures, which were neither good nor bad, and were in line with his ability as a chief clerk.

After Fan Wuya finished speaking, Cao Lin interrupted: "I remember that the lord has a caravan?"

You Hongyin nodded: "Yes."

Cao Lin said: "Then please ask the lord to only accept grain for the caravan trade."

"Why?" You Hongyin did not say that he did so, but asked Cao Lin instead.

Cao Lin said: "If there is a severe drought, we don't know how many years it will last, so in the future, the most precious thing is grain. However, refugees from all over the world will definitely come to Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places due to war and other reasons. As long as there is grain in hand, the lord will have the ability to stabilize the area."

Cao Lin's words were obscure, but in fact, he meant that it would be much easier to recruit soldiers if there was grain in hand.

"I will give the order, what else?"

Cao Lin continued; "In Gaomi, the most water resources come from Weishui and Gushui. The former has insufficient water, and I am afraid that the water volume will decrease greatly in the future. Gushui comes from Gaochuan, and it may still be possible to support it. Then the Weishui area needs to build more water wheels."

The Weishui has a source, so it is impossible for it to dry up after a year of drought. In that case, as long as the water wheel is used to lift the water into the canal, it can still irrigate the farmland.

You Hongyin nodded: "Good."

"Repair dikes and bridges, dredge ditches, drain water, store water, and open and close them in time. Even if there are droughts and floods in bad years, the people can still cultivate crops." Fan Wuya said:
