Chapter 480 - 443 Stranded, Impeached
As time entered the month of May, the drought in Liaodong was gradually becoming apparent.
Originally, it was the season when plants and grasses should be thriving, yet the crops in the fields were listless and drooping.
The people, faced with this situation, had no choice but to draw water laboriously from rivers and wells to irrigate their fields.
But as the weather grew hotter, the water levels in rivers and wells continued to decline.
Days passed, and Emperor Yanping was still consolidating power in the court, while the drought in Liaodong worsened.
And Yang Zhenshan was feeling increasingly agitated.
The drought in Liaodong was getting worse, hints of which also began to show in Chongshan Town; although the drought in Chongshan Town was relatively mild, its impact was significant.

Yang Zhenshan, riding Red Cloud and accompanied by ten personal followers, led by Vice Director Yan Hua of the Engineering Department, arrived at the riverside of Ying River, northeast of Chongshan Pass.
"Marquis! It’s this section here!"
Yan Hua pointed at the riverbed, speaking with a heavy expression.
