The article about drought in China got high marks.

1. If it had happened in ancient times, there would not have been such a serious drought. Judging from the materials you gave, it is because the city has excessively expanded and occupied a lot of cultivated land. In feudal society, it was a small-scale peasant economy, and the main economic industries were in rural areas, and the development of cities was not very rapid. Although capitalism sprouted in the later period and commerce began to develop, the main economic pillar was agriculture.

The biggest feature of small-scale peasant economy is self-sufficiency and relative closure, which belongs to the situation that one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

2. The measures taken by the government in recent years are mainly to ensure the cultivated land area in the process of urban expansion and not to occupy agricultural land; Expand the construction of agricultural infrastructure, such as irrigation and agricultural machinery going to the countryside; Increase the scientific and technological content of agriculture; Increase investment in capital, talents and technology for agriculture; There are various subsidy measures to reduce the burden on farmers.

3. Common ground: feudal society also guaranteed cultivated land and encouraged reclamation, which is still the case in modern times; Infrastructure construction, feudal society also strengthened water conservancy and flood control irrigation; In some policies, the burden on farmers has also been reduced, such as the policy of dividing fields into households in the Qing Dynasty and a reform in the Ming Dynasty.

Different places: there is not much investment in science and technology, and the agricultural science and technology content is not very high. Basically, in ancient times, people depended on the weather to eat.
