Chapter 159: Extinguishing the Locust Plague
He Shen strode forward, and after a while, he had already reached the mountainside.
At this moment, a large number of people are already close to Heshen...
Shaanxi, especially the cracked and hard earth in Taiyuan, has drunk enough rain in this short period of rain of less than an hour.
The muddy ground that only appears when there is enough rain is slowly starting to appear!
Looking at the hundreds of people crawling in the rain and mud, He Shen felt a lot of emotion in his heart!
“……………”
What these simple people who live by farming thinks, thinks, and asks for is often to be able to eat well, dress well, have good weather, and have a happy family...
From ancient times to the present, in the 5,000-year history of China, various dynasties are constantly changing, and history is also constantly reincarnated...
The reasons for the demise of many dynasties, amazing coincidences, are just like the repetition of old things, over and over again, and the cycle continues...
Historically, many powerful dynasties that have existed for hundreds of years have perished and replaced, mainly because of the contradictions between the upper and lower classes...
The most famous is that between the peasant class and the ruling class, because of the contradiction of land annexation, which is the main reason for the eventual demise of many dynasties...
“………………”
The people of the world, who have been under great pressure and living in difficulty because of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, are now deprived of the last way of life due to the impact of land annexation...
Under the pressure of being opposed is death, and not being opposed is death, some of the more courageous people were driven to rise up and organize rebellions, such as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang's uprisings, which were actually caused by this reason...
These heroes in troubled times want to overthrow the old dynasty, establish a new dynasty, and return a new empire to the world...
Although these heroes raised troops for a purpose, and they were not completely for the sake of the people, they still had a heart of love for the people in their hearts...
That's why, soon after a new dynasty was founded, after decades of recuperation, it ushered in a prosperous era...
In the era of feudal dynasties, if the emperor can be sympathetic to the people, the people's lives will be better, if the emperor does not know how to be sympathetic to the people, the people's lives will become worse.
This is the malaise of the feudal dynasty all along, and the emperor's influence on the people is too great.
Ancient emperors, generally the founding emperors to the emperors within three generations, will be sympathetic to their own country, as well as the people under their rule...
Three generations later, the emperor's consciousness has become weak because of the passage of time...
After that, many emperors began to become arrogant and lascivious, and no longer cared about the lives of the people, which led to the rebellion of the people and the continued replacement of dynasties.
However, any change of dynasty often benefits only a small number of people who originally belonged to the ordinary people, who crossed the original class and went a few steps further...
However, the vast majority of the people, not only did not enjoy the benefits of the change of dynasty, but once again fell into the cycle of eternal exploitation..."
“……………”
Straight to the point!
"Old man, please get up!"
He Shen leaned over and put the nearest one in front of him to the ground, with gray hair, an old man in his sixties, and lifted him off the ground with both hands...
Because of this move, the earthy yellow muddy water has already made Heshen's black-robed official uniform, which is worth a thousand gold, a piece of mud and worthless...
This gray-haired old man in his sixties, after getting up, was moved, liked, and panicked and many emotions were intertwined, and his face was full of traces of time.
After He Shen helped the old man up with both hands, he continued to help other people, and after helping up hundreds of people in one mouth, he didn't have time to help others...
Because, the people present are really too many, nearly a million people, and Shen have to help one after another, slowly helping up, and they can't finish helping them in a day and a night...
"At the end of the sacrifice to the sky, there is an order from heaven to pass on to me, to destroy the locusts with manpower, for the sake of the future of our children and grandchildren, we will destroy the locusts!!"
When He Shen heard this, he announced loudly to the people.
………
On Mengshan, in order to let more people hear his words clearly, He Shen has been shouting with internal strength...
Nowadays, it is a dry mouth and a sore throat.
He Er, who discovered this, hurriedly came to He Shen with a bowl of water, and said, "Master, you have worked hard." ”
He Shen nodded, didn't say anything, just took the water bowl and drank it all.
He Shen couldn't stay in Mengshan for too long, and there was a more important task for him next.
That is to return to Taiyuan City and destroy the hundreds of millions of locusts...
The continuous heavy rain still can't extinguish the fire-like enthusiasm in the hearts of the people at this moment...
The mighty crowd surrounded Heshen's carriage, and walked down towards Mengshan Mountain step by step...
This long-overdue downpour has been going on for more than half an hour, and there is still no intention of stopping...
“………………”
Many dry riverbeds and lakes have refilled with stagnant water, and the land has regained its original vitality...
The people crowded around the convoy, making the journey of the convoy of He Shen Qincha slower and slower!
He Shen was already in the eight-horse carriage, changed into clean clothes, and sat comfortably in the carriage...
Through the car window, I clearly saw the hundreds of people who followed the convoy in the rain, and Shen frowned, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned...
Behind the Heshen chariot were many officials in Taiyuan, as well as merchants, goddesses, gods, monks, and Taoist priests with four horses, two horses, or a single carriage.
This pouring rain has no intention of stopping, and He Shen stared at the hundreds of people who were driving forward in the rain and hugging their cars, and sighed faintly...
Faced with this scene, how could He Shen sit still, got up straight, opened the curtain, and walked out of the eight carriages...
He Shen, who walked out of the eight-horse carriage, was soaked from the inside out again in the heavy rain.
The hundreds of people who gathered around the convoy immediately found He Shen who walked out of the carriage...
"Long live the minister!"
The shouts of the mountains and the tsunami spontaneously spread from the mountains and fields, and came out of the mouths of the people who followed the convoy forward.
What happened to He Shen at this moment, naturally someone reported it to those who stayed in the car, but they had been paying attention to He Shen's actions, Taiyuan officials, as well as merchants, goddesses, god sticks, monks, and Taoist priests...
The minister of the Chin Cha put a comfortable carriage and did not sit, and would rather be in the rain with those poor people, and the rest of the others, who could be bigger than the Chin Cha Chan?
One after another, Taiyuan officials, as well as merchants, goddesses, gods, monks, and Taoist priests, followed by those who had given up the comfortable carriage, and all appeared outside the carriage in the pouring rain.
For the Taiyuan officials behind him, as well as merchants, goddesses, gods, monks, and Taoist priests, they didn't go to see it, and they didn't bother to care.
This heavy rain swept away all the unrest in Taiyuan Province...
On the side of He Shen, after entering the Xia Meng Mountain, he finally entered the eight-horse carriage again.
After He Shen returned to Taiyuan City, nearly a million people from all over Taiyuan finally dispersed.
Today's events, even if ten, twenty, or thirty years have passed, I am afraid that they will inevitably become the biggest talking point in the mouths of the people who can experience this matter...
After the miraculous scene of sacrificing to the sky, the hearts of millions of people in Taiyuan have been fully owned by Heshen...
After more than an hour, the rain finally stopped...
After the rain stopped, Taiyuan swept away the previous despair and dead silence, as if it had been reborn, exuding beauty everywhere...
The fragrance of the earth, mixed with moist water vapor, and raw air, filled the entire land of Taiyuan.
“…………”
The day of miracles, the first year full of miracles, was forever recorded in history!
The heavy rain not only landed in Taiyuan, but also rained all over Shaanxi at the same time...
The accumulation of water in rivers and lakes has accumulated a lot, and the water sources flow up and down, so that the drought that has enveloped Shaanxi for more than several years has been fundamentally solved...
This heavy rain has made Heshen, and in the hearts of the people in Taiyuan and even Shaanxi Province, Heshen has been deified...
In recent years, Taiyuan, which has never been calm, has become a sea of joy again.
This joy, this excitement, this joy, is spreading at an astonishing speed across the mountains, across the land, and began to spread throughout Shaanxi.
Taiyuan is boiling, Shaanxi is happy, but after the excitement, it is solemn, because the drought has been solved, and there is a locust plague in front of you...
“………………”
After the success of the sacrifice to the sky and the rain, He Shen is undoubtedly the incarnation of the gods in the hearts of the Taiyuan Baimen, and his words are the instructions handed down from the heavens...
After grasping the right to speak in public opinion, religion, mystery, etc., He Shen immediately ordered the people of Yifu to start culling locusts in the name of Qincha.
The operation of culling locusts has been vigorously launched.
With the full support of all parties, everything went very smoothly, and there was no disturbance or change from beginning to end...
However, in just half a month, with the efforts of millions of people, the locust plague in Taiyuan Province has been brought under control, and the locusts that were originally overwhelming have now become sporadic and visible.
The Qin merchants in various parts of Shaanxi, under the half-temptation and half-coercion of Heshen, have been fully cooperating with the actions of Taiyuan Mansion these days, and have continuously sent a large amount of grain, which has further stabilized the hearts of millions of people in Taiyuan.
Due to the timely extinguishment, other parts of Shaanxi were not affected by the locust plague.
With sufficient food, millions of people in Taiyuan Province will be able to survive this year's difficult year, and next year, when the situation is good, life will be much better.
For the people of Taiyuan, the most touching thing, in addition to He Shen's successful prayer for rain, is none other than the dignified Lord Qincha, the three-grade master He Shen is actually wearing the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, and millions of people in Taiyuan Mansion have killed locusts together!!
