Gu Yi’s expectations;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The state of the world might change, but the natural disasters destined in the dark were already set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixteenth year of Yanxing;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden drought brought the development of the Great Han to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Jizhou, Yanzhou, and the Three Auxiliary Regions;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droughts in many places seemed to have pressed a pause button, causing the Great Han’s unstoppable momentum to suddenly stagnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, while a drought of this magnitude could affect the Great Han,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not yet enough to be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhuge Liang, Zhang Hua, Yang Hu, and others in the court;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to the current foundation of the Great Han and the integrity of the civil service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disaster relief work proceeded very steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This disaster did not cause the slightest impact on the Great Han; merely mobilizing the granaries from various regions was enough to settle things, and the four corners remained completely orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the development of events would naturally not be so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original history,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliance and chaos of the troubled times obscured the fact of the natural disasters at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the massive population decline at the end of the Eastern Han, natural disasters remained one of the unavoidable primary causes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in the seventeenth year of Yanxing;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The great disaster continued, even spreading to more provinces and commanderies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droughts in Yanzhou and the Three Auxiliary Regions did not cease; the land of Jiangdong saw days of overcast rain, which finally caused the Yangtze River to burst its banks, erupting into a great flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the natural disaster finally posed a threat to the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how prosperous the national power of a feudal dynasty may be,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the constraints of productivity, such continuous and widespread disasters were still enough to be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical point was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive population growth of the Great Han over these years only made the number of refugees from this natural disaster unknown to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the abilities of those in the Great Han’s imperial court today were not just empty talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The example of Gu Xi’s disaster relief in years past gave them a very good template.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although times had changed and the current situation was completely different from before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these talented people,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could fully formulate strategies more suitable for the present based on everything Gu Xi used during his disaster relief in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the granaries to stabilize grain prices;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utilizing the foundation the Great Han had built over these years to steady the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even adopted the scheme of \"relief through labor\" from the era of Emperor Wu of Han, providing relief to disaster victims while simultaneously working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang did not choose to modify the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although under these circumstances, modifying those policies that benefited the people would reduce a great deal of pressure on the imperial court,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a system has been thoroughly implemented, canceling it suddenly would lead to the alienation of the people's hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stabilizing the hearts of the people was also the most severe element in disaster relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the hearts of the people did not scatter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the impact that the disaster could cause would not be enough to fundamentally affect the core of the state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hardships of this year far exceeded the year before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang was like the Gu Xi of the past, worrying day and night about the disaster relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh-generation descendants of the Gu family rushed to all corners, keeping a close eye on the specific details of the relief while using the Gu family's influence to stabilize the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring that the foundation of the Great Han would not suffer major chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fortunate that the Great Han was currently in its rising phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this had been the era of Emperors Huan and Ling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backlash brought by such a disaster would have absolutely and instantly shattered everything in the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang ordered all officials to be frugal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liu Chan, the Emperor who usually did not concern himself with state affairs, was affected, imitating the benevolent late emperors of the Great Han and setting an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this year was spent in extreme hardship,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the foundation of the Great Han, the situation in the four corners still did not fall into major chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regarding whether this natural disaster would continue, everyone’s attitude was very cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some suggested that Liu Chan should imitate Gu Xi and hold a sacrifice by the Luo River;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even change the era name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhuge Liang rejected this proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a tactic to appease the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the natural disaster remained the same after the sacrifice and the change of the era name, then the hearts of the people, which had been barely held together, would definitely be shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the situation Zhuge Liang worried about most at present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Zhuge Liang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Chan was now obedient to his every word, so naturally, he would have no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And things did not exceed Zhuge Liang’s expectations;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The eighteenth year of Yanxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natural disaster continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the scale of the natural disaster this year was not much different from the seventeenth year, after two years of consumption, the impact brought by a disaster of the same scale had a fundamental difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great change occurred in the court and the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unimaginable haze gradually descended upon the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three-year-long natural disaster awakened the memories deep in everyone’s hearts;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the memories passed down by their predecessors—the natural disasters experienced during the time of Empress Dowager Deng Sui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how stable the hearts of the people were, they would be affected under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This influence even spread to the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the Great Han’s court was flourishing, and everyone longed to create even more glorious achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—everyone was thinking about how to safely survive this natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natural disasters of the Deng Sui era were not known only to the common people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These scholars were even more aware of the impact caused by that great catastrophe back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although no one wanted to believe that such a disaster would descend upon the Nine Provinces again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mindset would still be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation became increasingly severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang had to adjust the entire strategy of the Great Han, abolishing the policy of encouraging childbirth while simultaneously reducing the expenses of the frontier armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Restarting the policy of military agricultural colonies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The policy of military agricultural colonies was a double-edged sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This policy had already been abolished by Gu Chen after the world was stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the power of the generals guarding the four corners was already not low, entrusting the matter of grain and fodder to them was an even greater test of their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fortunate that the current generals of the four corners were all elites cultivated by Gu Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the Great Han; toward Gu Chen;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loyalty of these people was still worth trusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the frontiers stable and the morale of the army not scattered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the basic foundation of the entire Great Han could be guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, naturally, no one would care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the common people truly cared about was the abolished policy of encouraging childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, this was also a helpless choice for Zhuge Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In normal years, this measure would not have had much of an impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a year of such great disaster,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would eventually be people who chose to have more children to survive and reduce taxes, and this even included the common people in areas not affected by the disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taxes of the Great Han were already considered extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang had to prevent this behavior from becoming the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this matter spread, there was constant criticism throughout the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearts of the people of the Great Han instantly became restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for the common people, this move by the imperial court was enough to show that the court was already somewhat unable to make ends meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having no other choice—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While continuing the disaster relief, Zhuge Liang had to memorialize for Liu Chan to change the era name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing the era name was indeed a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the common people completely lost hope, this move could greatly increase their confidence in facing the natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteenth year of Yanxing, the seventh month;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Chan announced in Luoyang the change of the era name to \"Yankang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning—the prosperity of the Great Han shall continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, as for the common people, they naturally looked forward to Liu Chan performing sacrifices at the Luo River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prophetic superstitions have always been the best way to soothe the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the imperial court's final insurance policy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Zhuge Liang’s character, it was impossible for him to gamble with the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If natural disasters continued unabated after the sacrifice, the people would only feel that the Great Han had lost the Mandate of Heaven, a weight the Great Han could not bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never take such a risk lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disaster relief continued without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Great Han’s deep foundations, under the circumstances of continuous deficits, the current situation was becoming increasingly perilous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang could only make various plans with even greater care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he stabilize the hearts of the people, which were gradually becoming restless in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard he tried, he ultimately could not change the current dire situation of the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this very moment, Deng Ai stood out once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability in military land cultivation shocked everyone once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The support returning from the Shu lands greatly reduced the pressure on the Great Han imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could natural disasters end so simply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the imperial court doing its utmost, such natural disasters could not avoid loss of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Great Han now had detailed strategies for plagues, there were still people living in the four corners who did not know of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plague began to spread silently throughout the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the seventh generation of Gu Shizi were abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sensed the crisis at the first opportunity and immediately carried out large-scale isolation, which stopped the plague from spreading on a massive scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu family's current method of handling plagues could absolutely be called the best in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Gu Xi or Gu Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had left behind a great many usable methods for the Gu descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the current Great Han, the truly fatal problem was when the natural disasters would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the imperial court was still continuously providing disaster relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as the natural disasters continued, the hearts of the people would eventually collapse, and the imperial court would one day be completely dragged down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first year of Yankang;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disasters continued without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chain reaction caused by years of natural disasters reappeared this year, as a locust plague spread once again across the Jiangdong region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang was finally forced to use every means at his disposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, in the sixth month, he personally accompanied Liu Chan to perform sacrifices at the Luo River to settle the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also employed the methods that Gu Xi had used in years past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—First, releasing news of various divine miracles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he built granaries in various places to show the countless refugees that the imperial court still had the capacity for disaster relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang’s domestic political skills were fully manifested under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He improved the courier station system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reduced the grain and fodder consumed during transport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast wooden oxen and flowing horses to make transporting grain from the Shu lands more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he formulated more detailed disaster relief strategies based on the severity of the disaster in each province, striving to control everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything he did was not in the least inferior to the Gu Xi of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gu Xi’s experience to draw upon, Zhuge Liang had now even surpassed Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such large-scale natural disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he could stabilize the overall situation was enough to prove his extraordinary nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the experience of those previous continuous natural disasters, the alienation of the people’s hearts this time would only become easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to accomplish all this was already highly remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been silently watching all of this, and the tension in his heart grew ever more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—As expected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The development of events was indeed not that simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi could not be certain if this was history correcting itself once again; after all, in the original history, large-scale natural disasters had already occurred at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could be certain that the impact caused by this natural disaster would definitely be immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had not chosen to act before was simple: with figures like Zhuge Liang, who would go down in history, the matter of disaster relief did not require Gu Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even this configuration could not resolve the natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then even if he were to act, unless he could truly spark an industrial revolution, it would certainly be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could the difficulty of transcending eras be that easy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was different—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone’s eyes were currently fixed on the interior of the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Gu Yi truly focused on was the external threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time shows no mercy; the great generals left behind by Gu Chen were no longer young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everything had changed now, Gu Yi could not determine how much of their lifespans remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had to make preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Han’s natural disasters were destined to weaken the overall strength of the Great Han, causing its influence to continuously diminish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the barbarians in the four corners would definitely grow stronger during such a period;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—and perhaps even reunify!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Great Han were to weaken at that time, history would reverse its course and return to its original development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Gu Yi could not accept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by what Gu Chen had done to those barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If history were to return to its original path, the Gu family would certainly face a fatal threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—When rites and music completely collapse, no one will care about the Gu family’s reputation among the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everything truly returned to the old path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu family’s reputation would no longer be a protective talisman, but a death warrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included the crises within the Gu family as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Gu Yi had to resolve everything this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a shred of hesitation, Gu Yi directly summoned the four characters \"Family Information\" in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of hesitation, he still did not choose the more excellent seventh-generation descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he chose Gu Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh-generation descendants were no longer young, while the eighth generation was just rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fundamental reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game’s prompt flashed before Gu Yi’s eyes instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Are you sure you want to control the character immediately?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Achievement points consumed: 300,000.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the prompt before him, Gu Yi chose to confirm immediately this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, looking at Gu Yi’s current achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could completely use the lottery to max out the system’s luck value and at the very least obtain a Heaven-grade item, which might completely resolve this natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was also uncertainty in that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most crucially—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Gu Yi, he needed to restore the hearts of the people toward the Gu family and fundamentally resolve the impact caused by the chaos under heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prompt before his eyes shattered instantly like a dream bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the scene around Gu Yi blurred violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his perspective sink rapidly, and the \"God’s-eye view\" that could overlook all things in the third person switched back to a first-person perspective in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, memories like a surging tide rushed in with overwhelming force; all the memories of Gu Ye from birth to his current fourteen years of life, carrying every minute detail, were quickly absorbed and digested by Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything before his eyes was pitch black, as if he were in an endless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know how long he had endured, but just as Gu Yi felt time had come to a standstill, the morning sun rose slowly, and the first ray of dawn pierced through the window lattice, quietly spilling into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Ye on the bed slowly stirred and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything before Gu Yi’s eyes solidified and became clear in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the sky turned bright...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the summer, the fourth month of the sixteenth year of Yanxing, the rivers of Yanzhou ran dry, and the Three Auxiliary Districts saw no rain from spring through autumn, leaving a thousand miles of scorched earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Governor of the Capital reported: 'In Fufeng and Fengyi, the wheat and grain have all withered; the people dig for rats and snare sparrows to eat, and corpses line the roads.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of Dingwei in the seventh month, the planet Venus crossed
