Chapter 1945: Money VS Superstition

If you want to talk about this superstition, Han Yi really hasn't been afraid of anyone, because pretending to be a ghost is a compulsory lesson for Lao Qian, and basically every Lao Qian has used this trick.

Fooling these ignorant people, Han Yi is not at his fingertips.

"Hui Queen, it's done."

Back to Wu Meiniang's carriage, Han Yi arched his hand at the carriage.

"How did you do that?"

Wu Meiniang felt very surprised, she knew that this problem seemed small, but it was very difficult to solve it, however, in the blink of an eye, Han Yi was able to solve it.

Han Yifeng said lightly: "The minister is reasoning with them, this God is benevolent and righteous, even if God wants to target the queen, it will not hurt the innocent, this must be done by those demons and monsters, and the queen You were sent by the Bodhisattva to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua on the side were stunned, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua on the side, lowered her eyebrows and groaned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

The team went on again.

When entering the border of Weizhou, Wu Meiniang was surprised to find that there were people standing on both sides, but they all turned their backs to her, lowered their heads, and did not dare to move, very curious in their hearts, and asked in a low voice: "What are they doing here?" ”

"Respect!"

Han Yi said: "Because I said that the queen you were sent by the Bodhisattva, how could they be qualified to admire the queen's appearance, so this way is used to express respect for the queen." ”

Zheng Shanxing is about to laugh, this is really a lie!

Wu Meiniang just nodded slightly, and then closed the window.

After entering Weizhou, I saw more than ten people in the distance, rushing all the way forward, beckoning the people who happened to pass by, and asking them to quickly stand on both sides of the road with their backs to the carriage.

Han Yi only felt funny when he saw it, the power of this superstition should not be underestimated!

This way, it was really very quiet, unobstructed, unimpeded!

After traveling for most of the day, I finally came to the capital of Weizhou.

"Queen, we're here!"

"Hmm."

Wu Meiniang got down from the carriage and saw the door of the mansion wide open, but no one came to greet her.

This is the arrival of the queen!

Han Yi was also surprised, so he looked at Zheng Shanxing. Zheng Shanxing hurriedly said: "I'll go in and take a look." ”

After a while, Zheng Shanxing walked out, only to see a middle-aged man in uniform beside him.

"The villain sees the queen, Shang Shuling."

The middle-aged man bowed, his face full of apprehension, and his legs trembled slightly.

Han Yi asked, "You are the history of Weizhou Thorn?" ”

If I were a stab, I would still call myself a villain? You see, I don't look like a thorn in this dress!

The middle-aged man said, "The villain is a servant of Weizhou Mansion. ”

Han Yi asked, "What about your assassination history?" ”

"We assassinated the history and the main book, and they went to Wei County to worship heaven and earth."

"When did you go?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly asked.

"Hui Queen, I went today." The little official replied tremblingly.

A flash of anger flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes, and she walked straight inside.

Han Yi glanced at Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua.

Both shook their heads and sighed.

When I came inside, I saw that there was not even a person inside, and it was empty.

As soon as he came to the lobby, Han Yi couldn't help but say: "Zheng Shilang, Lu Shigua, I really haven't seen it, what role did your arrival play?" ”

Lu Shigua hung his head slightly, and arched his hand: "It's because the lower officials are incompetent, and the lower officials have nothing to say." ”

Han Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Lu Shigua lowered his arrogant head, and said, "Let's not talk about these things now, I want to know why?" ”

Zheng Shanxing said excitedly: "This is all because the officials and people here are too ignorant, when we first arrived here, the locust plague was not very serious, we wanted to organize the people to eliminate the locusts, but who knows, they are not only unwilling, but also prevent us from disaster relief." ”

Han Yi was surprised: "Why is this? ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "This is because they all think that locusts are natural disasters and can be eliminated by non-human beings, even the history of the Han Thorn in Weizhou, as well as the local scholars and gentry class, all think that this is caused by the lack of moral and political cultivation above, and they should be cultivated and punished prudently to repay the punishment of God, and cannot eliminate disasters by killing." These ignorant people only know how to sacrifice to heaven and earth all day long, and there are many people who take the only food left in their homes to give to those who pretend to be gods and ghosts, but they watch the locusts eat up their crops. ”

Speaking of the back, he gritted his teeth, and there are really not many things that can make Zheng Shanxing angry to such a point.

But the two of them are really uncomfortable!

These days, almost all of them are crying, asking those people to hurry up and drive away the locusts and kill the locusts, but no one listens to them!

Han Yi was surprised: "It turns out that reading the book of sages is such a virtue!" ”

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua's faces turned red, they felt ashamed of being a scholar for the first time, and the people were ignorant, the key is that the gentry and scholars here all think so, this is very bad, as soon as they take the lead, no matter how much persuasion they have, it really has no effect!

"I don't blame you for that."

Wu Meiniang said: "And the top priority is to quickly prevent the people from exterminating the locusts, otherwise, the disaster will only further expand, and if it spreads to Luoyang, Bianzhou, Laizhou and other places, it will be really irreparable." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Han Yi again.

Han Yi groaned for a while and said, "The queen should know Weichen's methods, and it's just one trick to go back and forth." ”

You don't have more than one trick. Wu Meiniang looked at Han Yi suspiciously.

Han Yi first asked Zheng Shanxing: "Has the water resources here been exhausted?" ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "There are still many rivers in Henan, although they are drying up, but they have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, it depends on whether it rains in the sky." ”

"As long as there is water to drink, it is much easier, and if there is no water, then no one can do anything." Han Yi said and said to Wu Meiniang: "I don't know if the queen has ever heard such a sentence, this money can make ghosts grind." ”

Wu Meiniang groaned slightly and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Han Yi said: "The only thing that can break superstition is money." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "I think this is very difficult, if money can make them sober up, then they will not watch their own crops, including Han Thorn History, in fact, he has a good ability, and he has taken care of Weizhou in order in the past few years, but in this matter, he has become very stubborn, only knows how to organize the people to sacrifice to heaven and earth, pray to the sky, and never organize the people to eliminate locusts." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I've said many times, this money is not needed, it is just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and if you use it, it depends on who has this money." Wait, I'll let you protect the granary, but don't tell me that you didn't do it? ”

Zheng Shanxing hurriedly said: "The granary is under our control, and the people have not yet reached the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the government has not yet provided disaster relief, but because half of the taxes in Weizhou are transported to Chang'an, we have counted that there are only more than 100,000 stone grain in this granary." ”

Han Yi smiled: "This is enough!" ”

Lu Shigua said curiously: "I don't know what Shang Shuling plans to do?" ”

Han Yi said: "Acquire locusts." ”

"Buying locusts?"

The three of them were stunned.

Han Yi smiled and nodded.

Zheng Shanxing said: "This doesn't work at all, if those people are willing to hunt and kill locusts, they don't need to do this at all, the key is that they all think that locusts are natural disasters, and hunting and killing locusts is against God, and if we do this, it may cause their opposition." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I just posted a notice to go out, they don't want to hunt and kill, this business is what you and I want, and I didn't force them to hunt and kill." Immediately go and inform the stricken states and counties, and let them open their granaries and buy locusts, and exchange a pound of locusts for a pound of rice. Hurry up, we're running out of time. ”

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua glanced at each other, and then arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty obeys orders." ”

Then he went out.

After they left, Wu Meiniang asked, "Is this really possible?" ”

Han Yi said: "Queen, please rest assured, I have my own arrangements." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, in this matter, she originally had to rely on Han Yi, and asked again: "By the way, how did you convince those people?" Don't talk about pretending to be a ghost, I don't believe it, and the expressions of Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua have already told me that you are lying to me in front of me. ”

"This is the bad side of a gentleman, he doesn't know how to cooperate at all." Han Yi smiled bitterly, and said: "I just told them, the queen, you are an ominous woman, and I escorted you here just to ascend to the altar, so that you can repent to the heavens here and beg for forgiveness." ”

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "How can you slander me like this, do you know that in this way, everyone will think that I am really an ominous woman." ”

Han Yi said: "If I don't say that, won't they think so?" Look at you, the people of Weizhou immediately don't even want home, and they don't want to live under the same roof with you, which can be seen! If I say that, they'll let you in, and if you can't even get in, then you won't even have a chance to prove yourself. ”

This is really shameless, although it is a fact, but it can't be said! Wu Meiniang was so angry that her face was red, she was about to drip water, she was very embarrassed, she had always been high, but now she has become a veritable plague god, even a little thorn history dislikes her so much, seeing that she is coming, she doesn't even want an official position, and now if she doesn't step on her a few feet, she can't gain a foothold in this world, the stones in the pit are not so stinky, this kind of gap is really big, can she not be angry, her chest rises and falls violently, like a stormy wave, which makes people feel frightened.

Don't look at it! Han Yi arched his hand and said: "The queen will rest first, and Weichen will go down to arrange the matter of ascending to the altar." ”

Do you really ascend to the altar? Wu Meiniang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she shouted: "Get out!" ”

"Wechen obeys."

Han Yi bowed his hand and turned to leave.

"This bastard, one day, I can't spare him."

Wu Meiniang slapped the table fiercely, slammed it, and gritted her teeth with hatred.

Out of the lobby, Han Yi waved to the young general who was arranging the defense, "Fifth uncle, fifth uncle, come here." ”

The young general immediately walked over and said, "What does Shang Shuling command?" ”

This person is Yang Sine's fifth son, Yang Chengfei.

When you come to this kind of place, you must bring your relatives here, this ordinary person is unreliable, this is very dangerous, not only that, that Yang Sine is now in Luoyang, in charge of all the forbidden troops in Luoyang, ready to receive them at any time.

"Fifth uncle, you don't need to see outside." Han Yi waved his hand and beckoned again.

Yang Chengfei came over with his ears in understanding.

Han Yi muttered a few words in his ear.

Yang Chengfei didn't seem to understand it, and looked at Han Yi with a puzzled expression.

Han Yi beckoned again.

He came to him again.

Han Yi muttered in his ear for a long time.

Yang Chengfei nodded, but there was still a glint of doubt in his eyes.

Han Yi said: "Fifth uncle, do you understand? ”

Yang Chengfei was stunned, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will do it now." ”

Han Yi arched his hand and smiled: "It's hard work." But remember, be sure to keep it a secret. ”

"The lower official knows."
