Second, for the Hereafter. //. QΒ(5).CǒM//There is no leader speaking at the assembly at all times! Two of the class. The procedure is all led by the master of ceremonies, after an order, firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded instantly, the monks and Taoist priests who had already been prepared immediately took action, or raised the scriptures, or waved the wooden sword, for a while, all kinds of magic weapons, wooden fish, bell locks, and the sound of the pan were mixed, and the sound of chanting continued to enter the ears of everyone, and the scene was indeed a bit solemn.

The monks on the stage and the Taoist earnestly performed the so-called secret method of channeling the gods and asking for rain, and when they fell into the eyes of Chu Qian, they naturally slandered and despised it, and the right was regarded as watching a monkey show, but at this time, the people had already entered a state of piety, and Chu Zhen certainly would not show what he wanted to be bored.

Chu quality philosophy is quite qualified, of course, I understand what is called historical limitations, in the current environment, to explain the reasons for the formation of ** to a group of people who have never been exposed to physical knowledge, it is not clear what neurosis is in ancient times, but it does not prevent people from treating you as a madman.

And Chu Qian, who has excellent historical achievements, also understands that there is no problem in China, after all, there has never been a shortage of geniuses in ancient times, and examples of what is born to know and twelve are common in history books, but geniuses are often accompanied by tragedy, and there are countless examples of jealousy of talents and untimely deaths.

And with Copernicus's fate in front, where does Chu dare to show his character, although the academic environment in the Northern Song Dynasty is quite relaxed, various academic schools coexist in the world, science has just begun to have traces of germination, not even a young shoot, and the ideology is not as rigid as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it still inherits the routine of governing the country with Confucianism in the past dynasties, and has won the essence of the three outlines and five constants.

The Song Dynasty pursued the national policy of divine authority of the monarch, although it was not convicted of speech, and the literati could directly ridicule the king's gains and losses, but they had never seen anyone scolding the heavens and the earth, and Chu Zhen felt that the ministers and prime ministers in the court and even the emperor should sometimes feel very wronged, after all, according to the Confucian doctrine of heaven and man, when there is a natural disaster in the place, it must be the reason why the emperor and ministers in the world do not apply benevolent government, resulting in punishment from above.

Therefore, the emperor should be vigilant, and finally the next sin has been edicted or something to show repentance, of course, this sin has been edicted can be made public or not, after it is written, it is directly burned to heaven in secret, just a meaning, sometimes even the ministers of the court do not know what the content of the edict is, let alone ordinary people, may not even have heard of it.

Taking the current drought in Hangzhou as an example, if the disaster relief is unfavorable to the government and leads to serious consequences, generally speaking, local officials must bear some responsibility, but maybe this matter will become an opportunity for some people in the court to take advantage of.

The scene of the festival is very lively, the monks and Taoists are serious and hard to cast the spell, the people below prayed sincerely, the time passed slowly, and unconsciously more than an hour has passed, when the bored Chu Zhen counted the one thousand and one brocade sheep in his heart, the voice of the master of ceremonies finally came to his ears.

"After the soul crossing ceremony, I now ask Master Hongdao of Yongming Zen Monastery to pray to heaven and pray for rain."

Hear this. Chu Zhen was suddenly disappointed, it turned out that he had misunderstood, he thought that it was a ritual to ask for rain just now, but he didn't expect that he was crossing the soul of the dead, and asking for rain had just begun.

With the invitation of the master of ceremonies, a kind old monk walked slowly to the altar, most of the people in the audience knew this famous monk from a famous temple, and immediately looked at him with reverence, if he did not carry out a solemn ceremony, I am afraid that he would have already rushed forward with a cry.

Looking at the pair of eager eyes in the audience, the Hongdao monk was proud in his heart, and he didn't realize the jealous and hateful expressions of some Taoist priests, and he took care of the prayer and chanted it in the most affectionate voice, the prayer was gorgeous, and the words were subdued, but except for a few people, I am afraid that not many people could understand what he was talking about.

It's not that the Hongdao monk can't pronounce accurately, it's not that the people don't know the big characters, the culture is not high, and even the Chu quality who can't release the scroll on weekdays and feels that the ancient literature has made great progress is also confused.

It's no wonder everyone, after all, the sacrificial texts that go to heaven to convey the message are full of professional terms, and ordinary people don't understand common sense, if everyone knows it, how to highlight the mystery of the gods, some gods are afraid that there is no use.

Hongdao monk on the stage is indeed a spring breeze proud, from time to time shaking his head to recite a few words, the sound is like a bell, full of confidence, compared to the young people to have no shortcomings, without the slightest old state, although the people do not understand the meaning of the prayer, but it does not affect their sincere prayer to the heavens.

After half an hour, the prayer sprinkled with thousands of words was finally recited, only to see the monk Hongdao roll up the prayer, walk to the big tripod in the center of the stage, light it with a trace of reluctance, the flame jumped, and suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke, filled the air, and gradually dissolved, while the people below were staring at the green smoke that dissipated in the air, as if waiting for something.

But they were doomed to disappointment, the blue sky was as it was before, and the fiery sun was still so dazzling, emitting a great heat, and the light never stopped, as if it were about to roast the earth.

Chu Zhen lowered his head slightly and sighed lightly, he couldn't bear to see the lost expressions of the people, this was originally expected, if praying to God and worshiping Buddha really worked, then the world would either have been destroyed long ago, or Datong had already been realized, where else would there be any natural disasters.

"Sincerity is spiritual, sincerity is spiritual, please help me am about to manifest Suddenly, some monks and Taoist priests suddenly jumped out, continued to perform their own unique secret techniques, and kept screaming in their mouths, these words fooled the ignorant and foolish people, and few officials present believed it, but they were still very face-saving and did not say anything to debunk it.

After a long time, the sky still didn't move, not to mention the rain, there was not even a trace of clouds, and those monks and Taoists who wanted to take the opportunity to win the opportunity had to blush, hide their sleeves and run away.

Originally, there would be activities such as incense and lanterns, but now in this situation, everyone is not in that mood, the so-called greater hope, the greater the disappointment, the people who came to watch the ceremony are coming with hope, although they also know that they may not be able to get their wish, but when they really get nothing, the mood is inevitable, and they can keep quiet when the ceremony is carried out, but after the ceremony, as time goes by, they gradually return to the irritable and anxious mentality just now, and the chaos gradually arises, buzzing, and the master of ceremonies naturally hurriedly coordinates, But it didn't have the slightest effect.

"Please be quiet, Taishou has something to knock on" When he cried, he got Fan Zhongyan's signal, and the dog who was present to maintain order shouted loudly, and with the sound of gongs and drums, the noisy sound was covered up, attracting everyone's attention.

This is very effective, the people slowly quieted down, wanting to hear what Taishou was going to announce, and some people's hearts suddenly beat like a drum, should it be as Zhang Fat Man expected, I felt a little bad, and hurriedly wanted to find someone to discuss, carefully observe the situation nearby, but found that there were a few companions missing,

Someone's eyes rolled, ready to quietly take a few steps back, to go to the intention of the mind, but the footsteps moved, but found that the name could not move, after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, immediately regretted it, thousands of people have surrounded the vicinity, unless there is the ability to escape from heaven and earth, otherwise don't want to go out.

When Fan Zhongyan walked up to the altar lightly, no matter how different people's thoughts were, they were all a little curious at this time, and the scene immediately became quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Fan Zhongyan's voice is not loud, but it is rich and strong, the voice condenses and spreads far, plus it is relatively empty here, it seems that there is still a little echo, and everyone can hear it clearly, in order to hear it more clearly, everyone involuntarily leaned forward, held their breath and listened.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Fan Zhongyan naturally had no stage fright, smiled, and said in a harmonious voice: "The lack of food in the city, I think everyone is also clear, but the difficulties are only temporary. I believe that with the concerted efforts of "everyone, we will be able to get through the difficulties. ”

"I believe that the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the people suffer." After saying a lot of morale-boosting and motivating words, Fan Zhongyan calmed down, just when everyone thought that Tai Shou's words were over, some people felt more conscious. When he was slowly relieved, he saw that Fan Zhongyan's expression was a little slower, and suddenly there was a turn, and he said in a low voice: "However, the future is bright, but the road is full of twists and turns."

This sentence was said by Chu Zhen a few days ago, Fan Zhongyan felt that it was very reasonable, so he borrowed it here, waved his hand, and continued: "We should take into account the actual problem, in recent days, because of the bad behavior of some people, the rice grain in the warehouse has become increasingly scarce, and for a while, it is impossible for us to conjure up rice and grain out of thin air, in order to curb the trend of grabbing grain in the city, so this official has to take preventive measures."

When it came to the bad behavior, some Shi Zhong was shocked and worried, and hurriedly stared at Fan Zhongyan, eager to know what the measures he was talking about.

"From now on. Adjusting the price of grain, from 90 wen per bucket, to his gaze slowly passing over everyone, Fan Zhongyan's voice became a little heavy: "180 wen." ”

After a strange silence, there was an uproar below, and everyone was talking.

"What Taishou was talking about just now, I didn't hear it clearly, is it an increase in food prices?"

"Double, and let people not live."

"Fortunately, I knew the opportunity early, and I knew that the price would rise sooner or later, so I queued up for a few days, and finally bought and prepared rice grain, so I don't have to worry."

"It's too guarded, the price of food can't go up,"

"Why can't it go up, didn't you listen to what Taishou just said, the original price remained the same, all because you rushed to buy it, and there was no rice in the granary

"If you don't have any rice, it's too late if you don't buy it."

Hearing this shocking news, the people who came back to their senses were about to plead with Fan Zhongyan to complain, but found that there was no trace of Taishou on the stage, and when they were at a loss, they suddenly woke up to the fact that the rice and grain in the warehouse were running out of stock, and they didn't know if the price would rise in the future, so they should prepare early.

In the blink of an eye, the vicinity of the altar became empty again, except for a few sparse people, leaving only messy footprints, and a few asymmetrical shoes and boots, fortunately there are still these evidences, but those few people still think that the bustling scene just now is just their own illusion, after all, at this time, no one has the heart to stay, and they can't wait to have two more legs, so that they can run back to the city to buy rice and grain.

"Brother Zhang, I'm waiting for the opportunity to get rich." Awakened from his astonishment, a soldier couldn't bother to straighten out his torn clothes, and his eyes were full of golden light.

"What Brother Liang said is extremely true." Someone answered with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry back and inform the store to open for a living." Get ready to count the money.

Earlier, several people made a covenant to unite and close the door, just to wait for this opportunity, but they didn't expect it to come sooner than expected.

The surname Zhang is a Chinese man in Chinese costumes, who is the initiator of discussing joint matters with everyone in the restaurant some time ago, I saw him wave his hand slightly, his eyes flashed, and he muttered: "Don't worry." ”

"Brother Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"There shouldn't be anything wrong, after all, we also know the situation in the official warehouse, and what Fan" said is also the truth. ”

When they decided to hoard rice and grain, although it was expected that there would be a shortage of food in the city, the price would increase sooner or later, but in their opinion, with Fan Zhongyan's temperament, unless the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the price would not rise, according to their assumptions, only when there was no grain of rice in the official warehouse, it would be their turn to appear, at that time, how to determine the price of rice and grain was not up to their own words, And the current situation is indeed slightly different from their calculations.

"You don't have to think so much, people's hearts will change after all." After a while, someone smiled and said: "Besides, the current situation is developing in our favor, why should we speculate any more, Brother Liang is right, it is important to make a fortune, even the official shops have adjusted their prices, and our price increase is even more justified, so there is no need to worry about it." ”

This person's words were agreed by everyone, anyway, no matter how you speculate, the price increase is only a good thing for them, and it is indeed a bit troublesome to speculate here.

"What does the proprietor of Zhang think?" The wisdom of this surname was obviously more convincing to everyone, and someone immediately opened his mouth to ask, as if his words could enhance some truth.

"Again, don't worry." Zhang Dongzhu said with a smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Some people are confused.

"I don't understand this, Brother Zhang plans to wait and see for a while, maybe the price of food will be more

Not only that, maybe out of intuition, Zhang Dongzhu always felt that this matter was a little strange, and with the attitude of being careful to make the ship of ten thousand years, he felt that it should not be wrong to be cautious.
