Chapter 120 Inspecting the Drought
After contact with Yu Ji, the Dragon King has confirmed that the so-called spells are just tricks, Yu Ji is like this, and the other Zuo Ci or Nanhua are estimated to be the same, now he doesn't have to worry, he can continue to be high-profile, don't be afraid that one day, a flying sword or a spell thousands of miles away will fall and chop him to death.
However, Yu Ji's papermaking technology gave him a little surprise, with papermaking, coupled with movable type printing, as an important tool to promote the development of human civilization, bamboo slips are about to be eliminated, and lightweight books will become the mainstream.
"But is this paper-making technique really made up by Yu Ji? I always feel that this old man doesn't have a word of truth, it should be a major family, right? If the family will use this kind of papermaking technology, then these families are really a cancer, and such a good invention will not be promoted? ”
Why did the identity of ancient scholars seem so noble? Naturally, because there are very few readers, monopolizing all knowledge, and the reason why there are few readers, it has a lot to do with the number of books, the current bamboo slips are too heavy, and there is not much knowledge that can be recorded.
"Therefore, if society wants to progress, such a family must be eradicated or suppressed." As for whether to eradicate or suppress, it depends on how these families react, like the Zhen family, they can be suppressed, but like the Shi family, they have to be eradicated.
When Quan Gang came back, his face was very excited, "Dragon King, Yu Ji Immortal is indeed extraordinary, not only can he have magical spells, but he also has such a technique, and it is really fortunate that the Dragon King can attract such talents to vote." ”
Immortal Chief? The Dragon King was speechless, he felt that he had to give Quan Gang a popular science, lest Quan Gang be taken to the ditch by Yu Ji, and slightly explained to Quan Gang the principle of making money in the oil pot and sealing ghosts with paper, Quan Gang's face was wooden: "Dragon King, won't you?" ”
"You can try it, this kind of trick, no one can come."
Of course, Quan Gang chose to believe in the Dragon King, and then, he looked at the Dragon King and stopped talking.
"What do you think? My spells are real spells. The Dragon King was a little annoyed, "How can that kind of trick be compared?" ”
Quan Gang breathed a sigh of relief, but it was okay.
"Let Yu Ji go to Tiejiabao and inform Tiema to cooperate and make paper as soon as possible."
"Whoa."
Just as he was about to leave, the Dragon King remembered something again: "It hasn't rained, how is Mingfeng County now?" ”
"Nearly half of the crops in the field have died, and this year's harvest is probably good—" Quan Gang shook his head.
"Then what is Mingfeng County Zun doing to eat? Wouldn't you do anything but pray for rain? If a month ago, we had organized people to dig ditches and divert water for irrigation, why did we end up in such a situation? ”
"The students are also worried about another thing, as the so-called long-term drought will be locusts, there was already a locust plague last year, this year's situation, I am afraid that the locust plague will come again, and at that time, Qingping County will not be able to avoid it."
Mingfeng County and Qingping County are too close, once a locust plague occurs in Mingfeng County, after the locusts eat the plants in Mingfeng County, they will definitely come to Qingping County, this is about to be harvested, once the locust plague comes, the blow will be catastrophic.
With a sigh in his heart, the Dragon King said, "Then I'll go and take a look." ”
Quan Gang was overjoyed, "The Dragon King is merciful." ”
In order not to make people misunderstand and be afraid, the Dragon King went over this time, and brought more than a dozen fort guards, Tie Wei and Tie Yong are also there, if they meet people, the fort guards can communicate.
The group walked across the weir bridge, did not stop, and went directly to Mingfeng County, because almost all the fields in Mingfeng County are around the county seat.
When I arrived around Mingfeng County, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still hot, but the Dragon King saw that there were still people working in the fields, and many people were carrying wooden barrels to irrigate the fields.
Liu Dalu's huge body couldn't hide it at all, and everyone heard the exclamation.
When he was on the way, Liu Dalu had already confessed, Tie Yong slapped his horse forward, and shouted: "Fellow villagers, this is the Dragon King who came to inspect the drought, everyone don't have to be afraid, the Dragon King still wants to find someone to understand the specific situation, you wait for someone to come out." ”
These people had actually thought of it, and after listening to Tie Yong's words, someone shouted: "Please also ask the Dragon King to rain, save me, etc." ”
"Lord Dragon King, please be merciful and rain some rain."
Seeing that these people were a little out of control, Tie Yong shouted again: "The Dragon King came to inspect the drought this time, so he must understand the situation first, right?" Hurry up and let the Dragon King ask. ”
In the crowd, an old man stood up: "Little old man is willing to go." ”
"Okay, you come here, don't be afraid, the dragon king is merciful."
When the old man came to Liu Dalu, he didn't care about the hot ground, and lay on the ground, there were three rings: "The little old man has seen the Dragon King." ”
"Well, get up and talk." Let the old man get up, and the dragon king went straight to the point and asked about the situation in the field.
Of course, the situation is very bad, because there has been no rainfall, and now the fields are getting drier, and these people can only go far away to fetch water, but it is a drop in the bucket, and it will not help, at most it will delay the speed of the crops in the fields.
The dragon king also took a closer look, and the crops in a small half of the field here had indeed died, and the crops in the remaining half of the fields were also gone, and he was about to die.
After comforting the men, they continued on their way, and found that the same was true everywhere they passed, until they saw a large courtyard in front of them.
"Wow, the crops here?"
The crops here look much better, because there is water in the fields, looking at the farm, Liu Dalu frowned: "Tie Yong, go and ask, which family is this?" ”
Tie Yong nodded, rode away, and came back after a long time, with anger on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Those servants were so deceitful that I didn't even ask, but they scolded me for stealing my horse, and that I wanted to steal their water, and that they wanted to take me to the officials."
As soon as Tie Yong finished speaking, he saw a group of people running out of the city, all with sticks and sticks, shouting to catch the thieves who stole horses and water.
The dragon king straightened his body directly, and it was extremely conspicuous, and the group of people began to exclaim.
"The Basilisk."
"It's the snake demon of Qingping County."
"Why did the snake demon get here?"
After seeing Liu Dalu, this group of people didn't care about catching any thieves, and hurriedly ran back.
The old man of the dragon king didn't care about this group of people, but went straight forward, came to the outside of the wall of the village, looked into the village, and saw the pavilions in the village. The promenade rockery, in the meantime, there is a small artificial river passing, the river is sparkling and scaly, beautiful.
When the Dragon King looked at this courtyard, a guy who looked like a steward came out of the courtyard, bowed to him, and asked in a slightly trembling tone: "Dare to ask the Dragon King why he came to my Tianjiazhuang?" Please show the Dragon King? ”
"Tian family, right? Okay, very. ”
After the dragon king finished speaking, he turned around and left, and continued to take Tie Wei and his party to inspect the drought, and so on Mingfeng County went around, the dragon king found that the drought in Mingfeng County is indeed serious, but this is just for ordinary people, what the dragon king really saw was nearly 100 luxurious villages, and the fields owned by these villages did not have any drought, and the fields owned by these villages accounted for more than eighty percent of the total fields in Mingfeng County!!
Shocking!!
