How can there be such a coincidence in the world, Chuemon suddenly appeared, accompanied by the good deeds of Takemi Daishu in the world. This year, the person who can satisfy the common people all over the world for a few days is a "fairy".

I would like to ask all of you in the shogunate, and those of you who have already died, who can say that once I come out, the people of the world will be able to eat for a few days in vain?

Is it possible that Chuemon is a godsend?

Ooka Tadagou took a somewhat absent-minded visit to the city to serve the public, and many people saluted him along the way. Fortunately, he was the first one in the old school, and he was the biggest in the table, so he didn't need to return a gift to anyone else. Otherwise, just by being so indifferent, I don't know how many people will be offended.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible..." Although he was denying it in his heart, Ooka Tadaku's confidence was getting weaker and weaker.

Just as he was thinking, the attendant outside informed that Chuemon had something to find out if he was learning to deal with general affairs in the city, and if he could come in with Matsudaira, who was on duty with the elders.

There is nothing that can't come in. Chungemon is the adjutant of Matsudaira Qixuan, and at the same time is the relatively high group of middle-level officials in the shogunate, who is fully qualified to visit Laozhong. The old man on duty today is Kisuga Qiyu, and this one is even less likely to stop Tademon from seeing Tademon. The two are completely in the same group.

Entering the official hall, Tadashi Ooka, who was on duty in the hall, saluted Ooka Tadagou and Kaisuga Qiyu, who was on duty in the hall, and then stepped forward to ask Matsudaira to speak.

After all, bamboo blooms and bears fruit, which means that a severe drought will occur this year, and the scientific reasoning behind it is unclear for a while. Piao Ao is the place where rumors are most likely to spread, so it is better to avoid it. It is only spring now, and there were some rains not long ago. Spring planting is probably still going on, and there is no sign of a severe drought.

"Tadaemon, it's just you and me here, what needs to be said?" Qisuga Qiyu was curious.

The two are now close political interest groups. Not to mention that Tadashiemon helped him run the old middle school, but only that in the past ten generations, no one has served as the old middle school's beesuka family. The shogunate center must also rely on loyalty. Only Uemon and Sukeruku can be used with trustworthy bodies like this.

To some extent, the relationship between the two sides is also quite close, and there is almost no possibility of rupture. To be more explicit, both sides are useful and very firm.

"Um..." I told them both, but it wasn't really a big deal.

I'm afraid that these two old middle schools do not believe them first, and secondly, what do you think the dead people count? The famine is famine, which is a bit ugly. With famine, the contradiction between people and land in rural areas can be greatly reduced. For feudal rulers, moderate famines and disasters were actually their helpers in their rule.

"Could it be related to the bamboo rice in the city?" Matsudaira Qixuan is now more and more willing to use his brains, and the training of his elder brother Tokugawa Jiaqing is still useful.

"Bamboo rice!" Ooka Tadashi looked up subconsciously.

"It's something to do." Chuemon admitted frankly.

"Just sit down and let us talk about it." Ooka Tadao is thinking about this matter righteously, and now Tademon said, then he must of course. Make it clear.

It sounded like a discussion. Actually, the Prime Minister had already spoken. This is unquestionable. Chuemon couldn't, so he could only sit down.

"In the past, I read more about the history of Chinese books, and I found that if bamboo grows fruit, there must be a drought! At present, the bamboo is ripe in all countries, not auspicious, but a harbinger of a severe drought. This summer and autumn will definitely be dry and rainless. I'm afraid there is suffering from hunger in the world." Chungemon can only say that he saw it in Chinese books.

"It's not auspicious, it's a famine?" Ooka Tadashi chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had some other thoughts.

"Is that true? What kind of Chinese book is it, but I can remember the name, there are books in Orido, and I can look it up." Qi Yu Feng Suga heard that a severe drought might happen, but he was heartened.

"In fact, it is not necessary to check the Chinese nationality. In the past year or the beginning of the year, there were many hardships in our country. Maybe there was a matter of bamboo birth." Tademon remembers so much, but this matter should indeed be related.

"Wait for a while." Feng Suga Qiyu got up and went out, and he found a few scholars to look for records before and after the severe drought in the past two hundred years.

"Now all the countries are producing bamboo, which means that the world will be suffering from drought?" Songping Qi Xuan couldn't believe it.

After all, although the country of Japan is not much in size, it is thousands of miles away from the Ezo region to Amami Oshima. The last sentence of the name said that the scenery is different from the north to the south, and the climate is different.

Under normal circumstances, in Japan, which is in a different climate zone and is affected by different climates, droughts occur in Kanto, but Kansai may not have any famine. Mutsu suffered a freezing disaster, but the watermelons and lychees in Kyushu were still growing well.

Catastrophes all over the world are actually not so common. Generally, only severe climate fluctuations can cause such terrible disasters. The most typical example is that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, there have been violent floods and droughts. A drought in the north leads to a flood in the south, and a drought in the south leads to a flood in the north. In short, it is a widespread disaster throughout the country.

In the history of Japan, severe geological disasters such as volcanic eruptions have caused widespread disasters throughout the country, such as the Great Famine.

Before long, UU read www.uukanshu.com, and the book office sent "The Famine Years Record" over, and Qi Suga Qiyu directly read it. Sure enough, in many drought records, the content of bamboo blossoms and fruits appears. He flipped through the pages one after another, folding the pages of the book every time he saw it.

After a simple look, he found four or five records that could confirm Chuemon's statement. He looked at Qi Yu with a heavy heart, and said something in his mouth.

Ooka Tadoku and Matsudaira Qixuan took a look at the pages of Qisuga Qiyu's folded corner, and they were also surprised. It turns out that bamboo is really closely related to drought. Although I don't understand the scientific truth, these historical records should not deceive people.

"Although it's just the personal guess of the official, but to avoid starvation in the world, we still need to plan early." Seeing the three people in front of him believed a little, Chuemon striked the iron while it was hot.

"This..." Ooka Tadagou and Fengsuga Qiyu hesitated, because they had never encountered this matter.

[Note:] From July to August in the 30th year of Daoguang (1850), there was a severe drought in Wulin Prefecture, landslides and springs were exhausted, locusts infested crops, and bamboo blossomed and bear fruit. In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), there was a severe spring drought, bamboo blossomed and produced like wheat ears, and locusts plagued crops. 【Yulin State Records】
