Chapter 245
Throughout June, the sun was scorching hot, there was no cloud in the sky, and no rain fell.

Although Yun Jing asked people to dig wells early, the drought continued to worsen.Except for some fields near the river, the crops can barely maintain growth, and in other places, there is simply not enough water to irrigate.Another main reason is the lack of manpower. In the fields a little farther away, it is impossible to achieve large-scale water delivery by manpower alone.

If the water source is sufficient, Yun Jing doesn't mind letting everyone dig a canal, but the problem is that the water level of the river has dropped to half a person's height, and the fish in the river have floated to the surface, entering a state of hypoxia.

"Catch fish!"

"There must be no dead fish in the river!"

Seeing the fish in the river start to drill to the surface of the water, Yun Jing decisively ordered to catch the fish.

For a while, people in Lianshan County, Shuanggu County, Yanshan County, Longxi County, Xiping Mansion and other places were catching fish.Eat fish, wild vegetables, and save food to prepare for a severe drought.

With the continuous scorching sun and the announcement from the government, all households began to stockpile grain.

Under such circumstances, Yun Jing issued a new order to raise chickens!
People are running out of food, and they want to raise chickens?Many people were staring, dissatisfied with the unreliable order of Lianshan County Lord.However, the village chiefs and elders in each village and town, as well as the county guards, tried their best to persuade them to trust the county master.

In the end, most of the families raised chickens, and if people ate less, chickens had to be eaten.

Slowly, time entered July.

Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, after entering July, the vegetation in many places has begun to wither and die, and in the wild, a large number of small locusts have begun to reproduce.

Locusts grow extremely fast, especially with unexpected food abundance.

When Mo Wen and Wuming, who went to the field every day, sent back the news, Yun Jing issued instructions again, and every family should bring their own chickens to eat worms!

Isn't there no food for raising chickens?

In the mountains, in the wild!
This time, it was like chickens everywhere.

Tens of thousands of chickens and chickens entered the mountains, and the locusts everywhere were left to eat.

But at this time, the dissatisfaction and resentment of the people towards Yun Jing was all gone.Especially those old people, when they saw the locusts all over the mountain, they all sighed for a while.They have also experienced locust plagues before. Wherever the overwhelming locusts passed by, not to mention crops, there was not a single leaf left.

"Thank you county magistrate!"

"Thank you, magistrate!"

A locust, because of Yun Jing's precautions, turned into food for the people of the three counties.It is obviously a severe drought season, but every household has eggs, chickens, wild vegetables from the mountains, and a little grain at home, and this day can still survive.

It's just that compared to Yun Jing and the others who took precautions before they happened and wiped out the locust plague invisible, other places in the Dayin Dynasty actually suffered disasters. There were droughts and locust plagues one after another, and Yizi even appeared in many places. And the tragedy of eating.

A large number of people from the south flooded into the border of Lianshan County, and after looting several villages, the army of the Xipinghou Mansion marched into the border between Lianshan County and Jingzhou Mansion, waiting in full force.

Meanwhile, the army of Longxi County entered the border of the Third Prince's fiefdom.

The refugees who fled can stay as long as they follow the rules, but if someone breaks the law, Yun Jing's attitude is only one, kill!

Troubled times with heavy code!
No matter what the reason is, even if the children and parents are going to starve to death, as long as they dare to steal and rob, there is no scruple.

In this world, no one has an easy life.

No reason is a reason to hurt others!
The drought not only broke out in the Dayin Dynasty, but also broke out in the Xihu countries. The Xihu countries, which were already short of water, were completely in chaos.

In order to survive, they had to migrate on a large scale, rushing towards the boundaries of the Dayin Dynasty.

"Master, Prince Shuchi has a letter!"

In the hot afternoon, Yun Jing was enjoying the cool in the waterside pavilion of the lotus pond.Although it is dry, the water in the waterside pavilion is abundant.It's because Yun Jing keeps pouring the spring water in the space into the lotus pond.

"Bring it!"

Although Yun Jing guessed that Prince Jochi would come to ask for help, she did not expect that all the water sources in the country where Prince Jochi lived were dry, and they were migrating all over the country.

"Don't ask, you go to Xiping Mansion immediately and ask Marquis Xiping to open the passage and let Prince Shuchi's clansmen pass through!"

"Master, we can't accommodate so many people here!"

Mo Wen and Wuming were dumbfounded when they heard that Yun Jing wanted to fully accept Prince Shuchi's clansmen.They have already accepted many people from the Dayin dynasty, how could they still accept these people?

Yun Jing smiled slightly, and said, "We can't accept it, but there it is!"

While speaking, Yun Jing raised her finger and pointed to the rolling mountains beside her.

I don't know how long and wide this mountain range is.And in this mountain, there are wild vegetables, wild fruits, and animals... How many people can they support?This situation, I'm afraid no one knows.

As a matter of fact, Yun Jing had already been making plans for this mountain range after Dayin moved into Lianshan County as refugees from other prefectures.During this time, Shi Ye brought a lot of people into the mountains, picked all kinds of leaves, wild vegetables, and wild fruits, tested whether they could be eaten, and how to eat them?
For this reason, the chickens, sheep, cattle and sheep raised by the Shi family suffered.

Mo Wen set off immediately, heading for the Xipinghou Mansion.

In mid-July, the tribe led by Prince Jochi entered the boundary of Shuanggu County, and Yun Jing personally took people to meet Prince Jochi and his party.It was only at this time that Yun Jing knew that the many small countries in Xihu had all embarked on this migration road.

A total of 400 million people came here with their families, Yun Jing could only grit her teeth and take them in.

The hilltops were occupied by the people from Xihu, slowly spreading towards the deep mountains.

All Yun Jing could do was to give a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables and grains to those who were obviously physically exhausted.

The migration of millions of people lasted nearly ten days.

The locusts that had not been wiped out in the mountains and fields were caught and eaten by these Xihu people when they saw them.

Marquis Xiping also showed the attitude of an ally at this moment, helping Yunjing share more than 60 Xihu people, and Longxi County absorbed millions of people.

Although you won't be full after eating, you won't starve to death.

When the entire Dayin Dynasty was crying in the famine, the Beiyu Mansion was peaceful, and the severe drought did not affect it at all.The reservoir that Yun Jing asked the northern barbarians to dig to store water last winter has accumulated snow water for the whole winter, and now it has come in handy.

At the end of July, Shi Yu led tens of thousands of northern barbarian knights and drove a large number of cattle and sheep into Longxi County, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of shi of grain.This is all the strategic food reserves that Yun Jing asked Shi Yu and the others to collect before!
Now, Prince Shuchi's clansmen have fled, and Yun Jing can only write a letter asking Shi Yu to use the stored food!
