Chu Feng's work of making ice cubes was very hidden, and even the subordinates didn't know that Chu Feng was making ice cubes out of saltpeter.

Because every time Chu Feng went to the cellar by himself, and the amount made each time was relatively small, as long as it was enough.

Ice cubes can beat the heat, but you need to have enough ice cubes.

In this hot and dry summer, even ice cubes can't be too comfortable.

"Uncle is sending ice cubes again!"

The housekeeper of the Zhen Mansion received the notification from his subordinates and immediately arranged for someone to move the ice cubes transported to the temporary cellar for storage.

Since the arrival of the hot weather, the Zhen family has bought some ice cubes from others, but there are still some that are not enough.

As the wealthy Zhen family in Yanzhou now, if they want to buy some ice cubes, there are still people who give face and are willing to provide supplies.

But in the middle of the year, the weather was so hot that there was no rain on the ground, and there was drought in most places.

Let everyone know that this summer is estimated to be a very hot summer, and there may be a major drought.

Therefore, this ice cube is very precious, even if you have money, it is not easy to buy.

If there is no ice cube to cool off, it will be difficult to sleep at night in summer, and it will be uncomfortable during the day, and most people will suffer from heat stroke.

Because there is no water to drink, and because it is so hot, the water in the body is quickly evaporated, and it is not replenished, and it is easy to get heat stroke.

The Zhen family was still anxious about the ice cubes in the later stage, but they didn't want Chu Feng to send someone to send the ice cubes.

Zhang was worried that Chu Feng's ice cubes would not be enough, so he also sent someone to ask, and after getting a reply, he was willing to let Chu Feng continue to send ice cubes.

For two months, every day was spent in torment, and the earth was full of cracks.

It was still a lush forest, but after a summer, it was directly bare and yellow sand.

Cao Cao originally planned to recuperate, but he encountered a natural disaster, which suddenly disrupted his original plan.

There was a great drought in the world, and even if Cao Cao had a way to get food, he couldn't get water.

In the face of the great drought, even the resourceful drama Zhicai had no way to come up with a good way, at most it was to appease the people, open warehouses and release grain, and other relief measures.

When the government's relief could not have a great effect, the people spontaneously used their own actions to relieve themselves.

For example, some places think that some people are making God angry, so ah, this is God's punishment.

They have to pray to Heaven that God will punish only those people, not the innocent, they are all good people.

There are some more extreme people, who think that this is the dragon king is angry, in order to pray for the dragon king to rain, they directly came to a grand sacrifice, this sacrifice is grand, because many people participated, the sacrifice items are still alive, two boys and girls, without knowing the situation, were thrown to and burned to death.

It's just that when they finished the sacrifice, they didn't see the dragon king rain, and they still faced drought.

When Chu Feng heard that someone was using human sacrifice, he immediately reported it to Cao Cao and denounced this behavior.

Since drought is God's punishment, wouldn't it be cruel and inhumane to sacrifice a living person, which will only make God even more angry, and this is malicious killing, not real sacrifice.

Then use the deeds in the historical records in your mind to prove that human sacrifice is a very cruel sacrifice, which is undesirable and will not work.

Because when he was in Chang'an, in order to preserve those documents, he directly recorded them in his mind, which made Chu Feng increase a lot of knowledge, and it was still very flavorful to write the literature.

Cao Cao's reader Chu Feng's essay is read with an appreciative attitude, and this essay reads to be subdued, impassioned, and unstoppable.

"Good boy, you have also broken my mind of wanting to have a sacrifice, since the sacrifice is useless, how can you deal with the situation of the great drought in the world?" Cao Cao muttered to himself.

Originally, he also wanted to hold a sacrifice so that the heavens could hear his voice, so that it would rain in Yanzhou, and he also wanted to appease the people.

But he didn't want Chu Feng to directly submit a message, which denounced those sacrifices with living people, and also condemned those Taoist priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts, and used sacrifices to cheat money, which was simply infuriating.

Heaven has the virtue of a good life, wouldn't it make God even more angry and condemn people to sacrifice with living people.

So, the sacrifice needs to have a proper ritual of the sacrifice.

This ritual was also written by Chu Feng according to the records in the ancient texts, combined with the kind of sacrifices in later generations.

After Cao Cao finished reading it, he directly found Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, and passed this message to them and asked them to read it too.

"Chu Feng is a pure heart, now that there is a great drought in various places, there are indeed some places that directly use those children to sacrifice, which is unbearable, Chu Feng's sentence that God has the virtue of a good life, it is good.

The use of child sacrifices will indeed make people's hearts become indifferent, and there will also be cases of malicious killing, after all, no one wants to use their own children, then, those children who were affected by the great drought did not receive relief, but lost their lives.

This kind of sacrificial method is unacceptable, and a certain implores the lord can prohibit this kind of sacrifice according to Chu Feng's method. Xun Yu said to Cao Cao.

After watching it, Xi Zhicai also agreed with Chu Feng and Xun Yu's views, "Living human sacrifices really need to be abolished and banned, and at the same time, those Taoist priests who take the opportunity to use sacrifices to defraud the people of their money must also be governed."

Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves, was the first to sacrifice to the people who were affected by the disaster, and then bewitched people's hearts.

Although this is not happening now, we have to be just in case, and we do need to hold a sacrifice to reassure the people and reach the heavens. ”

Cao Cao nodded "um" and said, "Since that's the case, then follow Chu Feng's proposal." ”

However, a few days later, Cao Cao held a grand sacrifice in Yanzhou, and this sacrifice was not made with any boys and girls, but with five animals.

did not invite the Taoist priest to dance on it, but Cao Cao read a text, the content, that is, the people's suffering, asking God to rain.

After the sacrifice, it was directly ordered that the counties and counties in Yanzhou could prohibit those special sacrifices, but sacrifice according to the process of the grand sacrifice in Yanzhou, that is, regard that sacrifice as the most correct and the most inheritable sacrificial ritual.

The common people also felt that those special sacrifices were very bad in their hearts, and they began to resist in their hearts, and at the same time, they felt that this kind of sacrificial ceremony of the state pastor was the most formal, after all, that kind of solemn process made them feel heavy and heartfelt.
