Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was May, with the weather getting hotter, much hotter than usual. It had been nearly two months without rain, and the signs of drought were emerging.
It seems that what Ning Huaixiu said was true, and the drought is coming soon. Fortunately, the farmers had already planted their crops, just waiting for a rain.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of rain from the heavens, but it didn't matter, as the many preparations Nangong Yi made over the last two years were now coming into play.
The reservoirs he had worked hard to build, the village reservoirs, and the deep wells drilled in each town were all providing adequate water sources for the people, not just for drinking but also for irrigation of the farmland.
Because of Nangong Yi's emphasis, the water reserves in various regions were very high. Several diversions were dug on the major rivers in the South, so the drought did not significantly affect the people's daily lives.
