Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Time flies by very quickly, and it’s May in a blink of an eye. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, much hotter than in previous years.It has not rained for nearly two months now, and there are already signs of drought.

It seems that what Ning Huaixiu said is true, a severe drought is coming soon. Fortunately, farmers have already planted their crops, and all that is left is a rain.

It's a pity that there is no sign of rain, but it doesn't matter, all the preparations Nangong Yi made in the past two years have come in handy now.

In the past, he intensified efforts to build reservoirs, cisterns, and deep wells in various villages and towns, which could provide the people with sufficient water sources. In addition to drinking water, they could also divert water to irrigate farmland.

Because of Nangong Yi's attention, the water storage capacity in each region is very high. Several diversions were dug on a well-known major river in the south. Therefore, the severe drought had little impact on people's lives.

At least there are no problems with draft and irrigation.

Because the drought occurred as Nangong Yi expected, his prestige among ministers and people increased a lot. People said that His Majesty could know the occurrence of drought in advance. This was a warning from God to the True Dragon Emperor.

These rumors have appeased the people to a great extent. In addition, the water resources built by His Majesty can ensure their daily water supply. It is also said that His Majesty has been hoarding food in the past two years, so that even if they face natural disasters, they will remain calm. There is no such worry and restlessness as there should be.

Because everyone knows that with the blessing of the True Dragon Emperor, this disaster will be over soon. There are also some families who have set up longevity tablets for Nangong Yi and Cai Wei, and offer them three sticks of incense in the morning and evening so that they can bless their families with safety.

You must know that the current Saint is a real dragon descending to the earth. Under the protection of God, it is never wrong to ask for his blessing.

In the past dynasties and generations, every time a natural disaster struck, if those in power failed to handle it well, a certain degree of turmoil would occur in the world. What's worse, the victims would be incited to rebel. But this time, it was Not even a wave was stirred.

Today's imperial court has become the backbone of the people. It's too late for everyone to support it, so how can they have other ideas?

In the past two years, although the emperor overhauled water conservancy and stocked up grain and grass, he did not increase the burden on the people.

It is said that the money for building water conservancy projects and purchasing grain and grass was all obtained from the emperor and empress who sent people to sell the treasures saved in the palace in various countries. The people did not spend a penny. Now the people have benefited in vain. They are grateful to the emperor and empress. The love is simply beyond words.

Without the emperor's wise decision, many people in the disaster area would have left their homes and fled elsewhere. In order to survive during the escape, they would have been tempted by others to commit treasonous acts.

Now that the people of the imperial court and the people want to take advantage of the chaos, those who want to take advantage of the chaos will naturally cease their activities. After all, it is not so easy to incite people who live and work in peace and contentment to rebel.

Which ordinary people who have no worries about food and clothing would be stupid enough to help others rebel against the emperor who saved them?

I remember that when Nangong Yi proposed large-scale construction of water conservancy projects and the purchase of grain, many officials were opposed to it. They felt that Nangong Yi's proposal was too unreliable. It was really hard for him to go to such great lengths to fight and waste people and money based on just a few words from a charlatan. It was not done by Mingjun. Even Duke Li was skeptical of his decision.

Fortunately, Nangong Yi did not listen to them. He defied all opinions and insisted on his own opinion. After going through many difficulties, he finally completed the drought relief work.

Although these ministers were dissatisfied with Nangong Yi's decision, they had no choice but to obey the emperor's decree, but they could not help but murmur in their hearts.
