Chapter 66: The Altar Prays for Rain

"Don't be funny, how can food be made out of thin air?"

Zhao Wanzhou is not a fool, if food can be made, then why does the empire starve to death hundreds of thousands of people every year!

"If I say yes, I can do it." Li Yun said confidently.

"Now the crops are barren and barren, the crops eaten by the locusts have eaten up even the straw, and the lower officials have little study, don't lie to me."

The crops outside the city can be described as poor and white, the ears of wheat and rice are eaten clean before they are ripe, and the common people have no harvest, where can they make food?!

Zhao Wanzhou originally thought that Li Yun would have a good way, but unexpectedly wanted to say a whimsical attention.

"This king never says big things, of course, this is an emergency measure, and it is helpless, and it is impossible to do anything unless it is absolutely necessary."

Li Yun didn't bother to explain anything, if they knew the method, they would definitely feel that they were crazy, leaving this topic aside, first to demonstrate the current situation, and tell what to do next.

"The current situation is urgent, on the issue of raising food, this king will write a letter to the assassin of Henan Province to ask for food, and at the same time, I need you to send more manpower to appease the people, and there will be no recurrence of incidents."

"As long as the people are full, they will not make trouble, so the fastest way to stabilize the people's will is to find a way to solve the problem of eating."

Zhao Wanzhou nodded, and Li Yun said: "So from today on, this king will announce several orders, from now on, all officials of the government will sink to the people, all government expenses will be cut off, and all the remaining grain in the government warehouse will be taken out to help the people." ”

Although the government has no grain, there is still some grain in stock, which is used by officials and officials.

"Huh? All the surplus grain of the government government is distributed? So what are we going to eat? Zhao Wanzhou said.

"Whatever the king eats, you eat?" Li Yun said, seeing that the other officials were all embarrassed, Li Yun said angrily: "What? This king can eat it, but you can't eat it? Could it be that your body is more delicate than mine? ”

Who dares to say that he is more noble than the prince, that is the performance of looking for death, people are princes, if the prince can eat bran vegetables, how dare others say that they can't eat it?

How dare this group of people say a word.

……

In extraordinary times, extraordinary laws should be practiced.

Since Li Yun issued the order, all the officials in Yingzhou have put down their official shelves, sunk down to the people, and eat and live with them.

This group is accustomed to eating big fish and meat, where can they withstand coarse grains without oil and water? After eating it for only a few days, they were all sallow.

It is precisely because of this that the officials, who were originally extremely unpopular, have also been understood by the common people, and they can't even eat or drink as officials, so what reason do they have to complain?

At first, when Li Yun walked on the street, people would throw stones at him, but now, Li Yun came to the slum and was loved by the local people.

People are dignified princes, proud sons of heaven, what a privilege to be able to deign to come here?

How many people have done this?

How could such a Cloud King not be loved and sought after by the people?! And he opened a warehouse to give all the remaining grain to the people, how could the people not love such a prince?

However...... A drop in the bucket, the remaining grain in Yingzhou was eaten up in a few days, and Li Yun had to sigh that there were many people and great strength.

Unfortunately, Li Yun's letter did not work at all, and the Henan Provincial Thorn History did not take Li Yun in his eyes at all.

People are the prince's people, the prince and King Yun are rivals, how can they open a warehouse and release grain.

"Lord Wang, your request has been denied."

Zhao Wanzhou held the rejection letterhead of the Assassin Mansion, and his heart was mixed, even King Yun's handwritten letter couldn't work, he really couldn't think of any other way.

"The expected thing, since the Assassin Mansion refuses to open a warehouse to save grain, then we will save ourselves, as for the disaster in Yingzhou, this king has reported to the imperial court in full, Lord Zhao does not have to worry, this fault is not yours."

Zhao Wanzhou was also relieved, and said: "The prince said that he wanted to make his own food? ”

"That's right! This is an emergency method, since there is no result in asking for food, then find your own way. Li Yun said.

"I don't know what the adults do?"

Zhao Wanzhou had wanted to ask for a long time, but Li Yun kept it a secret.

Li Yun beckoned, Zhao Wanzhou stepped forward, Li Yun said something in his ear, and after listening, Zhao Wanzhou's face turned white.

"Ahh That's the method that the adults are talking about?! Zhao Wanzhou said in astonishment.

"Go ahead! Listen to me, it's better to take the risk than starve to death, don't you think? Li Yun asked rhetorically.

Zhao Wanzhou is also crying, I care, anyway, it is dead horizontally and vertically, rather than starving to death, it is better to give it a try.

"The lower official will send someone."

"One more thing, you go and build an altar." Li Yun commanded.

"What are you doing on stage?"

"Of course it's raining." Li Yun said.

Although he doesn't believe in such a thing as asking for rain, he believes in science, and recently Cheng Chumo's legs and feet are inconvenient and painful.

After diagnosis, it was found that he actually had rheumatism, indicating that there was more moisture in the air, so Li Yun asserted that it was more likely to rain recently.

Of course, this is only a reasonable calculation, and it is up to God whether it will succeed or not.

"Asking for rain? Lord Wang, you know that there has not been a drop of rain in Yingzhou for more than a year, and the officials have sent wizards to ask for rain many times, but the result has not been successful. Zhao Wanzhou said.

"It's not for you to ask for rain, this king will personally go to the altar and hurry up to prepare."

"Yes!!"

……

The next day, the officials of Yingzhou did a crazy thing that made all the people crazy.

Locust hunting!!

Since ancient times, locusts have been regarded as ominous existence by the ancients, and locust plagues will break out in various places every year, and in the face of these locusts, the common people are all avoiding them, for fear of getting into something ominous.

Over time, locusts were also seen as messengers sent by God to punish humanity on earth, let alone hunt locusts.

However, they are almost dying, and they will care about this, many people have joined the army of locust hunting, and in just one day, they have captured thousands of catties.

The locusts were placed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Li Yun came here in person, and the people didn't know what the prince wanted to do, but Zhao Wanzhou swallowed in fright, not gluttony, but fear.

"Someone! Pot!! ”

Chang'an, upper study.

Li Shimin had already received a letter from the east. The letter stated that after reading Li Yun's experience in Puzhou, Li Shimin said happily: "Good kill! Such an evil official, he has killed a hundred. ”

I am very satisfied with Li Yun's performance in Puzhou.

"Cloud King, where are you now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yingzhou!!"

"What are you doing in Yingzhou?"

"Pray for rain and disaster relief."
