Did Cao Cao believe in ghosts and gods?

Naturally, I don't believe it, and those who can say that they would rather let me bear the burden of the world than let the people of the world bear me, I am afraid that it is unlikely that they will believe in ghosts and gods.

Moreover, Cao Cao's education is also very orthodox, so it is naturally impossible to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

But just like Chu Feng said, there is a great drought in the world, and the people of Li live hard, and living in this hot and abnormal environment, it is inevitable that there will be some collapses, not to mention those Li people.

Let's just say that Cao Cao has some thoughts that this is the Han Dynasty did something wrong, which makes God angry.

It's just that as a male lord, he still received an authentic education, so that his inner voice told him that this is not God's punishment, natural disasters happen from time to time, is it that God is angry every time?

A sacrifice is just for the common people to persevere, to believe that as long as it is a sacrifice, the heavens will be able to hear their hearts, and it will rain in the future.

As for whether Heaven can really hear their hearts?

No one can say this kind of thing, Cao Cao, who likes to play tricks, naturally knows what Chu Feng said he needed a sacrifice for.

In that case, let's really hold a sacrifice.

After appeasing the people, we still have to find a way to solve the problem of deeds.

Nowadays, in many places, due to drought, the fields have turned into sandy land, and the crops have long since withered and yellowed due to drought.

Without crops, there will be no harvest after autumn, and without a harvest, this winter will be a difficult one.

But this arid summer didn't make it through, let alone winter.

However, all parts of the country began to follow Cao Cao's sacrifice, solemn and sacred, which somewhat made the people feel that this was the real sacrifice, maybe God could hear their hearts, maybe it would rain tomorrow.

Although there is a very formal sacrificial ritual as an example, there are some places where the sacrificial ritual has been passed down for a long time, and it may be very difficult for them to make changes now.

There were also some Taoist priests who saw that the government began to govern them, so that they could not hold sacrificial activities, and there was no money to be made, so they went around spreading rumors and causing trouble.

But the county government that has gone through a baptism naturally knows the consequences of not doing things, and also knows the benefits of doing things.

If the Taoist priests make trouble, they will directly suppress it, and after suppressing it, they will directly report it to the top, so that they will have achievements.

However, the smart county priest naturally can't just make trouble with the Taoist priests, after all, there are Taoist priests making trouble in their own territory, which means that they are not well managed, so they will report how they manage themselves, and then reprimand those unscrupulous Taoist priests.

The impact of a major drought can be described as terrifying.

The two-month days are like years, because in the later stage, they can't even drink water, and the ice cubes are running out, and the difficult days make many people have little hope for life.

Until August came, the weather was a little cooler, and the north had entered the shady season.

The cold air from the far north has also begun to move south.

In this era when the air is fresh everywhere, when the sky is still blue, and when the glaciers in the north have not melted on a large scale, there are very few major droughts.

The arrival of cold air produces a series of reactions.

First of all, it started to rain in some places in Dong County, and the first rain was not very heavy, but it made the people cheer.

The rain fell in the middle of the night, and when people began to fall asleep, the wind was strong and the clouds were thick outside.

Suddenly, the sound of "tick, tick" sounded.

The person who played the watch knew that it was raining for the first time, and the whole person cheered, standing in the rain, feeling the feeling of the rain hitting his face, this feeling made his whole heart tremble.

Then, by the means of one, a man appeared in the rain.

Keep your mouth open and let the rain get into your mouth, although it doesn't taste very good, and you may get sick.

But who cares about him?

After such a long drought, they look forward to rain every day, even if they are dreams, they are not other dreams, they are all dreams of rain.

If it weren't for the raindrops hitting their faces, if they hadn't really felt the wetness on their bodies and felt the taste of rain in their mouths, they would have thought that they were still in a dream.

Excited people stood in the rain and cheered, greeted the baptism of rain, and finally returned home and slept peacefully.

"This is a sacrifice that allows God to hear our hearts, and this is a sacrifice that allows God to hear our hearts!"

"It turns out that the sacrifice of the state shepherd is the most correct sacrifice, and it turns out that we have always been wrong."

"Long live the state pastor!"

At this moment, many people thought of a grand sacrifice presided over by Cao Cao at the beginning, and required all localities to sacrifice in accordance with the rituals of this sacrifice in the future, and abolished those special sacrifices.

Because it didn't rain anywhere else, it rained in Dongjun, and it was the first one, which reminded many people of the grand sacrifice that Cao Cao held at the beginning.

The next day, Cao Cao of Yanzhou City also received the news that it was raining in Dongjun, and immediately announced it happily to the world.

Not only Yanzhou, but even several other states also know that it is starting to rain in Dongjun, which is simply envious.

Actually, this first rain was not in East County, but further north.

But relatively speaking, Dongjun belongs to the Central Plains, and it rains in Dongjun, which means that the disaster of the great drought is about to pass.

Cao Cao earned enough prestige this time, and he also happily praised Chu Feng for how wise he was in that suggestion.

However, in a few days, it began to rain in other places as well.

The earth, which had been dry for more than two months, finally had a chance to get wet, but it was a pity that those crops had already dried up and died.

But the drought has passed, and even without crops, the people have renewed hope for their lives.

After a long drought, the entire Central Plains was cheering, and many places began to abolish the kind of sacrifice that also lost, and began to choose to sacrifice with the sacrificial ceremony held by Cao Cao at the beginning.

This method has been used for a long time, and the history books have also described this sacrifice in great detail.

When it rains, there is hope for life.

The effects of a major drought are slowly dissipating, and efforts are being made to reduce the damage.

The land of the Central Plains, where there was no war, fell into a brief period of tranquility.

After a catastrophe and the vitality has not yet recovered, it is simply thankless for anyone who wants to start a war at this time.
