Chapter 282: The Fifth Rain, Rainy Spring
This year's rain has been particularly abundant and continuous, and this is now the fourth rain.
This is good for the northwest, where life will always gather because of water, abundant rain will herald fertile forage in the Hetao, hunters can see an infinite number of wild animals to obtain furs, and herders can get more cattle, sheep and horses in exchange for supplies. In the end, the gains are still small, but they are better than nothing.
But it is really not a good thing for the inland of the Great Song Dynasty, if I am not mistaken, the history records that this year there were floods in many places, and the capital Tokyo was flooded. It's only the beginning of the year, but there are already signs of plenty of rain.
Even though people are now soft-spoken, Wang Yan still used the influence of the cold to write an urgent 800 miles to Chen Jianming, the current governor of Shuzhou, and Han Qi, the transfer envoy of Hedong, asking them to dredge the river in advance, inspect the embankment, and do a good job of responding to the flood.
I don't know what Chen Jianming thinks, but this is the second time that Han Qi has faced the so-called "grandfather in the dream" of Da Yan.
Khan, of course, Wang Yan can only pull the old man's calf, otherwise what else can he say? Do you want to confuse the people, what if the flood doesn't come?
Fortunately, Han Qi also understands that the food security in Hedong is related to the survival of Funing County, so it is inevitable that the child will care.
And Han Qi is not stupid, and he is also wondering why it was so cold that Dongting Lake froze last year, and so early this year there are so many spring rains, Han Qi saw these phenomena in his eyes, and the old man who is known as the undefeated god of the West said that Han Qi had more eyes, and in early spring, he began to strictly investigate the conditions of various rivers under his rule.
It's okay not to check, but I'm shocked when I check it, and I don't care what Wang Yan's grandfather says, but as far as I see it so far, I really can't stand it, Han Qi thinks that whether he has a flood or not, he needs to be rectified.
With this kind of thought, since you want to move, it is better not to move if you want to make small repairs, and it is best to move once and for all. So let's not talk about building the city, whether to introduce Wang Yan's cement production line of the profiteer, and once again entered Uncle Han Qi's schedule.
It is said that during this period of time, grain has to be sent to Funing County, so Han Qi's henchmen have inspected Wang Yan's construction site many times, not to mention those crazy brainwashing and fanatical enthusiasm, which is something unique to Dayan, which is even more awesome than Fan Zhongyan back then. Han Qi himself didn't like Fan Zhongyan's set very much.
Just talking about the magic of cement, under the pamphlet of Dayan and the research of his henchmen, now it makes Lao Han's heart itch, and he wants to make that kind of smoke-billowing workshop in Taiyuan Mansion obscene enough.
It's a pity that it's too expensive, and the added value of technology in Wang Yan's asking price is too high. That kind of production process is now only available to Wang Yan, and only Wang Yan's team can do it by building the entire workshop production line and training qualified cement workers.
In this regard, the bureaucrats under the rule of Hedong shouted pills, and they all came to remind Han Xianggong not to fall for that kid, he was lying to confuse the public, the so-called "watching the sky at night and encountering the old man said that the flood was flooded", in fact, it was to pave the way for the promotion of his cement production line.
"Maybe...... However, shouldn't the embankment in front of you be rectified? The resistance was still very great, and Han Qi walked away after saying this, leaving a group of officials and masters looking at each other......
The fifth spring rain turned Yongle City, the center of the Golden Triangle region, into a very lively city.
People are grateful to Dade, and with a pious mind, they are prostrate beside the big Buddha statue in the central square of Yongle City, and they have been kowtowing. It's as stupid as those bitter people waiting for rain in Journey to the West, or...... It's sillier than that.
Buddhism did not come out to take responsibility for the rain. But in fact, it has always been rumored that this is the rain cast by King Mapa of the Great Tibetan Ming Dynasty.
Northwest people pray for rain for eternity and will always need it, so there is always a "right" time for the so-called prophecy and rain prayer. When the prediction is correct, it will be put on the head of the Ming King Mopa to publicize, and when the prediction is wrong, he will find other excuses to prevaricate, and extend the problem to some other people and things, this routine is unchanged in ancient and modern times.
So now, Zhanzhao really saw this phenomenon in Yongle City, and it was exactly the same as what Wang Yan said, and it was not bad at all.
In addition to Zhanzhao, another group of people who entered Yongle City was Cao Qing. She has also seen the discipline of Buddhism with her own eyes, and she sees that this situation is more excessive than that of her master Lu Dongbin, where did the so-called rumors and gratitude come from? It is a group of Buddhist sailors who are fueling the flames below, but whoever puts this phenomenon on the Ming King Mapa and brings everyone to be grateful and coaxed, you can get a tael of green salt after this grand event.
Cao Qing heard the price of the "water army" with her own ears.
"These people are just as disciplined as Wang Yan. Sure enough, only a toad can descend monsters, it must be Wang Yan, and finally it will be the nemesis of these people. This is Cao Qing's idea on the spot.
The news of the Ming King Mopa's Dharma frame coming here today to preach the scriptures and give grace spread, more and more herdsmen gathered, and a group of people spread along the big Buddha statue, and now it has reached the point of tens of thousands of people.
On the occasion of the appearance of the Ming King Mopa, accompanied by the macro sound of the great conch, it was low and solemn.
When King Ming spoke, he felt that the voice was kind and far away.
The speech skills are not as good as the little rascal in Funing County, but the advantage is that he has a good appearance, and the sense of solemnity is something that Wang Yan's child can't create anyway. This is the perception that Zhan Zhao watched.
On the other side, Cao Qing found that what King Ming said Wang Yan actually guessed, looked down, and looked at it, which was extremely similar to the fragment "Tang Seng Releases Sun Monkey" written by Wang Yan.
Continuing to the wonderful place, Yongle City, which can be pressed by the black, broke out with bursts of cheers and worship.
In this regard, Cao Qing coldly "snorted".
In such a noisy and noisy environment, her sneering little movement was actually noticed by Mo Pa on the high platform, when King Ming Mo looked at Cao Qing with two eyes like cold electricity, Cao Qing actually subconsciously wanted to respond, and then seemed to be affected by the spiritual aspect, and slowly became bloody.
She entered a strange state, feeling like she had become a thick-skinned female beastmaster, and wanted to rush into the wolves to fight and vent.
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
This is her Dao number, and it is also the place where her master Lu Chunyang asked her, constantly running the Dao Gate Mental Method, but it seems to be slowly dragging some emotion to the depths.
"Redβ"
Another sneering whisper sounded from the crowd in the east, and when King Mapa of Ming gave up Cao Qing and turned his head to look east, he seemed to see a fire in Zhanzhao's eyes, a fire of aggression.
"What a handsome cultivator."
This is the first impression of King Ming Mopa. Pure mental contest will definitely win against this young man, and he will be more affected than that Daogu, but the self-injury in the process will also be very serious. Because King Ming felt that there seemed to be no mental method in the world that could resist this kind of aggression like fire in the artistic conception of breaking the defense. Confronting this person is the kind of hard battle that hurts each other, and there is absolutely no second way.
So King Ming forced his eyes to slow down, and when he opened his eyes again, Cao Qing's figure was no longer visible in the west place.
Yongle City continues the pious atmosphere of worship by all people......
Cao Shouyi's mansion.
The Suide Army has always been concerned about the situation in Yongle City and Funing County.
After listening to the reports from all sides, in the festival hall where the henchmen gathered, it was naturally a burst of laughter under the leadership of Cao Shouyi.
"That kid is a white-eyed wolf, but a kid is a kid, he's naΓ―ve." Cao Shouyi laughed and said: "He didn't have enough manpower to want cattle and horses, so he broke the rules and traded with the border people, of course something would happen, resulting in more than a dozen herdsmen being killed on the road, and he didn't even know who did it, so he was so frightened that he retracted his hand." As far as the size of Funing County is concerned, you tell me, how ridiculous is the city wall that he is busy building? To put it bluntly, he just has no brains and looks ugly. He wanted to engulf the interests of the investors of the Northwest Investment Bank, but he did too little about it. β
"What Dashuai said is that the line of interests that I have worked hard for many years will definitely not be taken away by him so easily!" The generals under his command cheered one after another.
A discordant voice said: "However, the news from the north says that he intends to change his approach, that is, not to break the rules of border trade, and to refuse to trade with individual border herders." Instead, he went to persuade the people of Sanshan and Qizhai to sell some of the cattle and horses to him when they crossed Funing County as a certificate for safe passage through Funing County. β
"He dares!"
"Those bandits are our people! Their real lifeline is in our hands! β
"Yes, the last general doesn't believe that people from the three mountains and seven villages dare to do this!"
Immediately, the generals under his command shouted and scolded one after another, and they were extremely high-spirited.
After looking at everyone, he was a little embarrassed, because Cao Dashuai's face was not very good, showing that he had heard and thought about this matter.
After a while, Cao Shouyi did not discuss, waved his hand and dispersed the festival meeting, leaving only the demonic military advisor to talk in detail.
"Did Mr. pay special attention to Qing'er's actions according to the requirements of this commander?" Cao Shouyi said.
The military advisor looked strange, hesitated for a moment and said, "I have always paid attention to it, and one of the four Dao disciples she brought with her is my person." That's why she turned back this time and went to Yongle City to help Wang Yan maneuver, so that I could control the situation in time and remind the handsome. β
At this point, the military advisor was very smart and did not continue.
This is also Cao Shouyi's pain point, that's why, I don't want to say more in front of outsiders, which will cause a pill scene of internal division in the Cao family.
In fact, Cao Shouyi's daughter is not around all the year round, it is an eternal pain, Cao Shouyi doesn't even know what his daughter is thinking and what she wants.
"How will this farce end in the end, and what will the people of Sanshan and Qizhai say?" Cao Shouyi sighed.
"She can only fail." The military advisor said, "She is self-righteous, but in fact, she has no influence on Sanshan Qizhai, and is even hostile." The only bit of influence she has is based on the fact that she is your daughter, so she went to Sanshan Qizhai as the 'eldest daughter of Cao Shuai'. This seems to be possible, but it can't conflict with you, so after the poor road informed the leaders of the three mountains and seven villages in advance, your daughter will inevitably be frustrated, and she will inevitably be abandoned by Wang Yan after being frustrated. So she's still your daughter, she's just young and she chose the wrong person. β
Cao Shouyi didn't notice the emotional changes when this demon Dao talked about Cao Qing, and it seemed to hide a hint of lustful excitement.
Cao Shouyi thought about it, and felt that there was still something wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of why, so he had to sigh: "I always feel that this process is too simple, unlike all the moves of Wang Yan's sinister villain, maybe there are aftermoves." And the strange thing is, why did my daughter Cao Qing easily believe Wang Yan? As for Wang Yan, why can he rest assured that Cao Qing can cooperate with her when she is my daughter? β
The military advisor read his beard and said: "Your daughter has been practicing in the Dao Gate since she was a child, so Poor Dao knows her better than you, she admits death and is impulsive, and many things are done when she thinks of it." As for why Wang Yan was persuaded by her to trust her, Poor Dao thought ...... With your daughter's charisma, she can easily convince any man. β
Again: "So don't think about it, in fact, this matter is very stable, Cao Qing is against you as your daughter, of course, it is difficult to convince those bandits." Moreover, the actual interests of the bandits are firmly pinched in the hands of our Suide army, and the volume of Funing County cannot digest such a trade volume, so they can only do business with the Suide army in the end. β
Cao Shouyi sneered: "You seem to have forgotten a little, in addition to the materials of the Three Mountains and Seven Villages can be sold to us in the south, they can also cross the Great Wall in the north and sell them to the Western Xia Xiangyou Military Division." β
The military advisor said confidently: "Yes, in fact, they are two-faced and three-stabbed, and they have always been doing double-line trading, in order not to offend the Tangut people and let the Tangut people also have some interests, so each batch has a certain share to sell to the north." But herders in the Golden Triangle usually have cattle, sheep, horses and furs. This kind of material is destined to be not too short of the Western Xia people, so the price is limited, and the Song State lacks these things, and the throughput is large and the price is higher. The final conclusion is that Sanshan Qizhai still has to rely on our Suide army. β
At this point, Cao Shouyi's confidence was a little more sufficient, he smashed his fist on the table, the table was smashed again, and he said coldly: "In short, this is Lao Tzu's territory, Lao Tzu's interests, and whoever wants to meddle must be agreed by Lao Tzu." Under the economic policy of Counselor Li in the northwest, those who oppose me are also opposed to him! Wang Yan he didn't know that he was almost finished, he was still happy, when one day he understood that it was the Ye family who cooperated with him who really betrayed him backhandedly, hum, Lao Tzu was waiting to see his face at that time! β
"Handsome and wise!" The demon path was also extremely excited......
