Chapter 368: Thousands of miles of drought, the county order prays for rain

The carriage entered Guangling City, away from home for more than a year, Qin Guan also had a feeling of being close to home, and inquired in the county seat, it turned out that his father had set up a house in Guangling City, and the whole family had moved to the city.

Walking through the street to the front of the Qin family's new house, Qin looked at the plaque of the Qin Mansion hanging on the door and knew that he had arrived home.

As soon as Qin Guan got out of the car, the porter saw him, blinked his eyes, and after confirming that it was correct, his face showed ecstasy, and he felt that he stepped forward and saluted: "Young Master, you are finally back." ”

Qin Guan nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I'm back, Luo Qing, it's still you who watch the door." ”

Luo Qing smiled and said, "Young master, it's good to watch the door, I like to watch the door, ah, I'll go and inform the old lady." After speaking, he didn't care about Qin Guan, ran into the mansion, and shouted all the way, "The eldest young master is back, the eldest young master is back." ”

Qin Guan shook his head, this Luo Qing's temperament has not changed at all.

The third daughter got out of the car and looked at the new house, and Mimi said, "Childe's home is also very big." ”

As soon as the four of them entered the courtyard, the Qin family all came out, and the father Qin Dashou saw his son, smiled, and said, "My son is finally back." ”

Qin Guan saluted, "My son has been going out to study for a long time, which has made my father and mother worried. ”

Mother Qin stepped forward and grabbed her son's hand, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you haven't had a letter before, we were very worried, and then we received your letter, and we let go of some hearts." ”

Zi Su and Yan'er stepped forward to see the old lady, Qin Guan introduced Mimi to her parents again, and Mimi also came forward sensibly to greet her, and the family finally returned to the main hall.

Chatting about things at home, my father chattered about how to build this big house, the family also bought a few shops in the city, and bought 200 acres of land in the township, etc., all of which were told to Qin Guan, Qin Guan didn't feel annoyed, so he listened quietly.

Finally, when it came to the drought in the county, Father Qin sighed: "I don't know why, this year is so hot that I can't go out of the house, alas, the crops in our fields are also going to die of drought, I'm thinking, should I give them a reduction or reduction in tenant rent this year." ”

Qin Guan said: "Excuse me, our family is not short of that money, if any family is in difficulty, we will help to survive this disaster year and have a good reputation, which is much stronger than a few more stones of grain." ”

"Hey, listen to you." Qin Dashou said.

For his son, he is now obedient, his son is much stronger than himself, and the Qin family will always be handed over to him in the future.

On the second day, Qin Guan took his two younger brothers and a group of servants to the township, the sun was very full, the sun was so hot that the ground was a little hot, and the fields were cracked in pieces, not to mention the crops, and even the wild grass was so sunburned that it was about to wilt to death.

The breeze blew and blew up dust.

Hearing that the lord's house was coming, the tenants came over one after another, and when they saw that it was Qin Guan, everyone hurriedly saluted, this is the old man, and it is also the first Xie Yuan, they naturally dare not slack off.

These tenants had dark and rough skin, and their faces showed bitter colors, Qin Guan said: "I know that this year's drought will cause no harvest in the fields, so I came to tell you that this year, my Qin family's tenant rent is completely free." ”

Hearing Qin Guan's words, many people showed a rare smile on their faces, but Qin Guan's words made many people's faces show ecstasy.

Qin Guan said: "Although the tenant rent is free, I'm afraid that many families still can't get by, so my Qin family is ready to borrow grain from the tenants, as long as the family is in difficulty, you can go to the Qin family's granary to borrow it, free of interest, and then pay it back when there is a harvest next year." ”

Listening to Qin Guan's words, an old tenant farmer couldn't help but kneel down for Qin Guan, and the others also knelt down, hula and knelt down.

The old farmer said loudly: "Young Master, we thank the Qin family for their kindness, we can let us live, we only use the excuse of grain, as long as there is a harvest next year, we will pay it back as soon as possible, and we will never be in arrears." ”

Qin Guan hurriedly went to pull the old farmer, "Hurry up, hurry up, we are a fish and water relationship, how can you be in trouble and the Qin family will not be rescued, okay, take me to see the situation in the field, see if I can save myself, can I collect a little is a little." ”

Everyone got up and hugged Qin Guan to the field, in fact, the Qin family's field was good, and there was a small river next to it, but now it had completely dried up, and even the silt on the riverbed had dried up.

"Is there still water in the well?" Qin Guan asked.

Then they came to the well and put a bucket of water, which was still the same as before, but it was a bucket of mud, and it seemed that the well was about to dry up.

In the face of natural disasters, Qin Guan had no choice, as soon as he returned to Qin's house, he received a report from the housekeeper, the county magistrate sent someone to post, the county was ready to pray for rain again two days later, knowing that Qin Guan was back, he invited him to participate in praying for rain, and there were also the old gentry in the county, no less than 100 people.

Two days later, Qin Guan dressed neatly and came to the outside of the city, in a wide place outside the city, the county set up a rain altar, when Qin Guan arrived, there were already many old gentry gathered here, and hundreds of people were watching around.

On both sides of the altar, on one side are monks and on the other side are Taoist priests, Qin Guanxin said, this Di County Commander seems to have used all the tricks that can be used.

Asking for rain began, Di County Ling took everyone to kneel three times and knock nine times, and knelt down in the black pressure outside Guangling City, and then recited the prayer for rain, this Di Zhi County was also born in Jinshi, and the words written in a prayer for rain were earnest, Qin Guan felt that if he was the dragon king, he would have to give a drop or two of rain to this article.

But from morning to noon, the sun in the sky was still like a flowing fire, but there was no cool breeze blowing, and many elderly people could not stand it, and from time to time some people fainted and were carried away.

"Lord Long, just have pity on us, if it doesn't rain again, we Guangling people are afraid that they will die of thirst and starvation, and they will be homeless." Di Xian Ling let out a cry of grief.

Immediately, the people below cried and cried for their miserable tomorrow, and the crying became louder and louder, and the sound shook all over the world.

Qin Guan was shocked by the cry, he had never felt this way, in modern times, even if he encountered such a drought, at least there was government relief, and he would never starve to death, but in ancient times, this was a big thing, it would really kill people, and the destruction of the family was just around the corner.

It is no wonder that in the event of a catastrophe, even the emperor, who is high up and considers himself the son of heaven, has to kneel down to the dragon king and respectfully ask for rain.

Natural disasters are beyond the reach of human beings.

Suddenly, a wild blow passed, a figure flew from a distance, the people looked at it in surprise, this figure fell directly on the altar, but it was a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with a whisk in his hand, and a gray beard fell to his chest.

The old Taoist priest looked at the people in the audience, and said loudly: "Poor Dao Heavenly Dao Sect Yuantong, everyone, there is a drought here, it is useless for you to kneel and worship the Dragon King here, and the poor Dao is here to understand the worries of the people." ”
