Chapter 65: Calling the wind and rain, turning the lightning and thunder
If the rain doesn't come, then the state officials won't let him go easily.
After all, because of you, you have made such a big battle, how can a misunderstanding be exposed by a liar?
At this time, it stands to reason that Qiao Yan should also suffer from gains and losses in his heart.
It's just that you can't see it on your face.
"The rain is coming, the rain is coming......"
"It's raining, it's raining, it's finally raining!"
"God opens my eyes......"
"Thank you, Daoye!"
"Master Dao, please leave your name, we will set up an immortal tablet for you, and worship every day!"
gossiping, all of a sudden, the scene became lively.
Most of them are expressions of gratitude.
And the people lay down on the ground! Just to be able to see the rain falling, but I was blinded by the rain.
I don't know if it's tears or rain on my face in the rain.
Originally, the people who were still sitting in the teahouse and gossiping could no longer sit still.
They all got up and went to see what was going on outside!
After all, it's raining outside anyway. And they have settled in the state, and it has been more than five months, and there has been no rain.
It can be said that this rain, in fact, is not just an ordinary rain.
It can even be said to be the water of life for the residents of their settled state.
If it hadn't rained, the crops they had planted in the previous days would have been lost. But if there is this rain, then they can remedy it.
Make up for the seedlings, at least, in the fall, there can be some harvest.
On the altar, Qiao Yan's expression was also indescribable.
There is relief, there is happiness, and there is joy!
This time begging for rain is also a gamble for him.
Thankfully, he won the bet.
★
Chen Fusheng was by the window and watched Qiao Yan's performance throughout the whole process.
For Qiao Yan's begging for rain, if he can be asked to score, he will give, seven points!
The reason why a score of seven is given is mainly because his way is just ordinary and not creative.
Although it is said that he can be proud of being able to innate cultivation and command wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
However, others don't know, but Chen Fusheng knows that Qiao Yan's request for rain this time is not too difficult.
The main thing is that even if he doesn't ask for rain.
Within two days, it will also rain in Anding State.
And this, this is exactly what Qiao Yan is looking at.
If it is a day late, the signs of rain are obvious, and it does not show his ability.
A day earlier, the rain clouds were too far away and beyond the reach of his mana.
Therefore, the seven points given by Chen Fusheng, five points are for the timing chosen by Qiao Yan. Just the right thing to do!
One point is the recognition of his Taoist skills.
Another point is his creative thinking.
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the city of Dingzhou has also changed its impetuousness in the past.
The smell of the air is much fresher.
More people, happy to come out and walk. However, most of them are walking on the bluestone road and taking a stroll.
As for the dirt paths, think about it or forget it!
No matter what, you have to wait until the road is dry.
Even straw sandals are a lot of work to weave, aren't they?
Moreover, straw sandals are not durable in muddy water, and they rot after a few times.
At this time, straw sandals are more used as consumables.
Fortunately, grass is an inexhaustible resource, relatively speaking.
At least, it's much shorter than the growth cycle of a tree.
Therefore, straw sandals can also be used as a relative consumable.

At this time, in the treasury of the state city, Qiao Yan, who was waiting to receive the silver, was not in a beautiful mood.
No matter who it is, fortunately, I worked hard to draw and write, and I said that the three thousand times were settled at once. In the end, it became a layer of subcontracting.
In Qiao Yan's hands, it became a mere three-way ......
From three thousand to three runs, it is even more nonsense than from the water margin to the flood famine.
Where can Qiao Yan endure it?
In fact, Qiao Yan didn't know that in this Anding Prefecture, there was a figure like Wu Xuexuan.
What's the name!
It's the role that can't do it, a basket of bad ideas.
He was very greedy when he saw the 3,000 yuan offered by the state government. But there is no magic to be around, so I can only be anxious.
However, since he knew about it, he was concerned and took it to heart!
And he's a franchise-loving one.
In three or two clicks, he got into a relationship with the state treasurer.
The two of them, after much discussion, waited for someone to apply, and they could ask for rain and let them send a quick sum of money.
Because He Cai is a reader, he is used to reversing black and white and saying some scenes, so the government officials humbly asked for advice, and He Cai also taught him a set of speech skills in a low voice to deal with.
These three thousand, two thousand guan were given to the state officials, one thousand guan, the two of them, seven and three and a half, and so it was divided.
For the three hundred guan he got, He Cai was not disappointed.
Because, he took this money without risk.
Why?
Because it is the treasury officials who handle it, and the ones who take the most are the state officials.
He was just coming up with an idea. Even if the account is settled, who knows who he is?
Is he that big clove of garlic?
Before looking for the treasurer, he had already sorted out everything.
Of course, the 700 guan of the treasury official was actually not taken for nothing.
For whatever amount of money is to be given to the man who can ask for rain, it must come from the treasury officials.
However, although the treasurer knew about this, he did not care.
Because He Cai gave him a suggestion.
Very creative and imaginative.
Instalment!
The so-called installment payment means that the money will not be less than a penny, and it will be given to you. However, you can only give you three times of money at the first time.
Then, when you need money, come to me and I'll give it to you.
So, that's what the treasurer thinks, and that's what he says.
"Dao Chief, you are a capable person. In the world, you are not short of three or two thousand pieces of silver. ”
"In the state, in the near future, the tax will be lifted up. This year's drought is also known! So, I want to give the money to the top first. ”
"Then, in giving you three times. In the future, when the Taoist chief uses the money, he will withdraw it one after another, what do you think? ”
The words of the treasurer made Qiao Yan angry.
He came for three thousand. Where will there be anything that is not short of silver taels? There is no shortage of silver, I will come out to work?
What an international joke!
However, what the treasurer said was actually very level.
First of all, I pointed out the difficulties on my side!
You have to pay taxes and silver, so you can't turn around.
And then say the reason, why can't the turnaround be opened?
It's not that we're bad, it's greedy!
The main thing is the drought, the rain you begged for, you should know.
Then there is the solution proposed.
I'll give you three times first, and the rest will be taken as you like, and you won't be bad!
In all aspects, the arrangement is clear.
It can be seen that this He Cai is also a master of figuring out people's hearts.
Not a master, can't think of such a way.
