After providing relief to the victims, Liu Yu and others followed Chen Gong back to the office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After Chen Gong arranged for Dian Wei and the others to rest, he led Liu Yu to the living room.

After Liu Yu sat down, Chen Gong ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

"Master Hou has worked hard today." After taking a sip of tea, Chen Gong said.

"It's hard work, it's just that seeing the people suffering, Ben Hou feels a little uncomfortable in his heart." Liu Yu said.

"Hou Ye Rende." Chen Gong said.

"By the way, Gongtai, Bo County is so badly affected, can the local squires and wealthy families lend a hand?" Liu Yu asked.

"Back to the Hou Ye's words, Xia Guan has just arrived. Not so familiar with the local squire. Xia Guan had mentioned this matter to the rich squires in the county before. The squires also suffered heavy losses due to the drought, and told the lower officials that they could not help. Chen Gong said.

As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu knew that these squires had no contribution at all, and he kept thinking about how to deal with such a rich and unkind squire.

"In that case, how is the public station going to deal with this drought?" Liu Yu asked.

"At the beginning, Xia Guan asked Hou Ye to use Hou Ye's taxes to help the local victims, and reported the truth of Bo County to Lord Taishou, waiting for further arrangements from the imperial court." Chen Gong said. Chen Gong's methods are all official practices in ancient times.

Ben Hou also has a certain understanding of the drought situation. Here are a few suggestions, I don't know if the public station wants to hear it. Liu Yu said.

"Master Hou, please speak, the lower officials will listen to you." Chen Gong also wanted to hear what good opinions Liu Yu had.

"In terms of relief for the victims, if you rely on the Bo County government alone or wait for the imperial court to provide relief, I am afraid it is not very ideal. The disaster was serious, and people would starve to death if they were not careful, so Ben Hou suggested organizing local squires to help. Liu Yu said. If there is a problem on the squire's side, Ben Hou can come forward at that time. ”

At the same time, manpower was arranged to dig wells and store water in various parts of Bo County to prevent the drought from prolonging. We selected young people from among the many victims to cope with the shortage of manpower. It is recommended that all localities raise some live fish in water sources such as wells to prevent criminals from poisoning. The best solution to the drought situation is to dig channels to share the great rivers and divert water from them for irrigation. In the future, the public platform can guide the people to plant a variety of drought-resistant crops or fruit trees, such as jujube trees, which are drought-tolerant and their fruits can also satisfy hunger. Liu Yu said.

After Chen Gong listened to Liu Yu's suggestion, he also opened his house, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Hou Ye had so many good methods. But there are still some problems in this, Chen Gong thought about it for a while, and it was better to ask Liu Yu.

"Master Hou, I'm afraid the squire is not very willing." Chen Gong said.

"Benhou has a way to make the squires enthusiastically lend a helping hand. The public platform can say to the squires that as long as the squires lend a hand, it will be noted in the county chronicle, and the good deeds of the squires will be carved into a monument, which will be planted outside the city gate of Boxian County and passed down to the world. The good deeds of the squire can also be reported to the court and praised by the court. Liu Yu said.

"Master Hou is clever." Chen Gong agreed with Liu Yu's method very much.

"If it doesn't work anymore, Ben Hou has his own way to deal with these people." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Chen Gong was also curious, what good way did Liu Yu have, Liu Yu didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.

"Digging channels, Master Hou, Xia Guan finds it difficult to achieve. The stakes are high, is there any good way for Hou Ye? Chen Gong said. This is a big project, if it is completed, it will definitely be a big political achievement, Chen Gong very much hopes that Liu Yu can have a solution.

"Actually, Ben Hou can't do anything. Excavating channels to communicate with the river is related to all aspects, and the public station can report the matter to the imperial court. Liu Yu can't do anything about this.

"That's all there is to it." Chen Gong was also very disappointed.

"There is no need for the public station to be like this, this matter is important, and the court must also handle it carefully, and it will take time to implement. It's a pity that the imperial court stipulates that Benhou can't interfere in the affairs of the fiefdom, otherwise it doesn't hurt that Benhou is responsible for this matter of digging channels. Liu Yu saw that Chen Gong was a little disappointed, so he comforted.

"Xia Guan is fine, thank you Lord Hou for your persuasion." Chen Gong said. Chen Gong felt that Bo Hou was not the same as rumored. Liu Yu's impression of Chen Gong was not very good at the beginning, Chen Gong was also from a big family, and knew that the children of the royal family were generally more arrogant, but after this period of contact, he found that Liu Yu was very approachable and did not have the same condescending atmosphere as other noble children.

Liu Yu's impression of Chen Gong is also good. Although Chen Gong does not have the strategy and strength to be the chief military advisor in the future, he now also shows a different vision and thinking from others. In fact, when Liu Yu heard Chen Gong's name, he wanted to accept him. Liu Yu is now lacking a strategist, although Steward Li is experienced and can help him do some things, but he is seriously deficient in the overall situation and strategy. The appearance of Chen Gong made Liu Yu very hungry and thirsty in his heart, oh no, he was thirsty for talent. However, due to the failure of the previous solicitations, coupled with his reputation not very good, Liu Yu dispelled the idea of recruiting Chen Gong now.

"Okay, Master Hou, I can't stay in Bo County for a long time. I'm not going to rest anymore today. Gongtai, you arrange for people to inform the rich squires in Bo County, and say that I, Liu Yu, invite them to come here to talk about it. Liu Yu said.

"Okay, Master Hou." Chen Gong liked Liu Yu's style of doing things, and hurriedly arranged for people to invite the squires here.
