Chapter 774: Liar Work Begins
The reason why Wang Shuangyang invited Wei Ning to come was because he needed a master. Although Qi Yueling is a big territory with many masters, the planting area is also large, and there are many wells that need to be drilled, so the number of masters is not enough.
Of course, Wei Ning would not refuse Wang Shuangyang's request, and immediately sent a group of masters from the army to help. Qi Yueling is not only the granary of the empire, but also the supply center of the Sixth Legion.
Just when Wang Shuangyang's side was in full swing to start preparations according to Jiang Xingchen's requirements. In a small town far away from the Lord of Qi Yue's city, a ritual to worship the gods had just been completed.
A big fat man with a painful face sent a hundred yuan stones to three middle-aged people with dark complexions and dressed like colorful pheasants.
"Sacrifice!When will it rain from the gods?" Licking his chapped lips, the fat man wiped his round wet face and asked with a smile.
"It depends on your sincerity, the Qiankun Empire has been suffering disasters for many years, and it is no longer under the protection of the gods. And you have seen the wrath of the gods, how can it be so simple to make the gods change their minds!" said one of the swarthy middle-aged men with a proud expression.
"My sincerity is very strong, and I have held three ceremonies before and after, and each time it is a hundred yuan stones...... "The fat man said here, and the expression of pain on his face was even worse.
It cost him 350,000 citrine coins to exchange three hundred hundred yuan stones. It takes a year or two to earn it back in a good year.
"Is three hundred yuan stone a lot, the gods will care about your yuan stone, it mainly depends on your sincerity!"
"But I'm ...... I really can't come up with any money!" the fat man said with a sad face.
"Hmm......" The middle-aged man groaned for a moment and said, "After these three sacrifices, it is estimated that the gods have seen your sincerity." Another estimate in two days will be almost!"
The fat man opened his mouth, still wanting to speak. But the priest waved his hand and turned away with the other two.
"Second uncle, you really came here!" just as the fat man was about to leave with an anxious face. A voice suddenly came into his ears, and a gust of fragrant wind instantly reached his side.
"Girl, why are you here?" the fat man asked distressedly as he looked at the sweaty Tian Hongmin. The fat man has no children, and he treats the daughter of the eldest brother's family as if he were his own.
"If I don't come, you can't still go in!" Tian Hongmin Liu Mei stood up, with an angry face: "I told you, Jiang Xingchen is trying to figure out a way, these sacrifices from the Southern Wilderness are not credible." You just won't listen!"
"Okay, okay, the second uncle is not right, let's not bask here, hurry up and find a shady place......" The fat man felt very sorry for his daughter, smiled with a face, and dragged his daughter to the shade.
"Don't be perfunctory to me! I know you're not right and still come here to worship? My father was afraid that you would be deceived, so he asked me to come and see you, but you still ......" Tian Hongmin shook off the fat man's hand vigorously.
"Girl, I can't help it! Your dad still has some water. I don't have any water here, if I don't get any grains......," said the fat man helplessly.
"Jiang Xingchen is already thinking of a way, my father is waiting for Xin'er at home, why are you so anxious?"
"I know Jiang Xingchen is trying to figure out a way, but hasn't there been any news here......! And I've heard that the Star Collar is also suffering from a severe drought right now. Jiang Xingchen hasn't solved it himself!"
"Who said that, the Grand Duke's side has already started to prepare, and all the blacksmiths around the main city have been transferred......"
"That's a way to reassure everyone. Not to be trusted!" the fat man smiled and waved his hand.
"Do you find a sacrifice that works, 350,000 citrine coins. I'm afraid that the grain output of all our arable land will be sold together, and it will not be this amount! Have you been drugged by them?" Tian Hongmin said loudly.
"The account can't be counted like this, there is a big drought this year. Food prices are definitely skyrocketing, and as long as the harvest is guaranteed, the money spent will be returned!"
Tian Hongmin saw that the second uncle was still dealing with it, and he was almost angry, and said loudly: "Then you have spent so much money, is it rain......ing next? What a sacrifice, what a god, it's a liar at all!"
"Girl, don't dare to talk nonsense!" The fat man hurriedly covered Tian Hongmin's mouth, looked at the sky worriedly, and whispered: "There is really a god, during the first sacrifice ceremony, I saw with my own eyes that the god was angry, and the altar spontaneously combusted without fire, and it burned clean in a while!"
"Huh?" Tian Hongmin was also stunned at this time, there was no fire and spontaneous combustion, how could this be possible.
After a moment, Tian Hongmin shook his head and said, "Anyway, the rain hasn't come down!"
"And for the last time, my sincerity is big enough, and I should be able to impress the gods...... What, go back and tell your father to lend me 100,000 ...... first."
Looking at the second uncle's appearance at the moment, Tian Hongmin couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness!
Meanwhile, the three priests had returned to the town where they had settled.
The three of them entered the room, and there was also a young man in the room, who was none other than Yan He, one of the crippled trio.
"The three sacrifices have worked hard!" Yan He got up on crutches to greet him.
"Brother Yan, your legs are inconvenient, sit down quickly!" The three of them hurriedly went up to support Yan He, showing great respect for him.
The attitude of the three of them made Yan He very satisfied, nodded and sat down and asked, "How is it today, let's go along with it!"
"Shun lĂŹ, although that fat man is worried about money, he also has to honestly take it out!" the priest in it laughed in a low voice.
"Brother Yan, your idea this time is simply amazing, in the past, it was the merchants here who came to us to do business and make our money! I didn't expect their money here to be even more profitable!" the other priest laughed.
"Brother Yan, we have more than 400 people in total, how many sacrificial ceremonies have been held now?" asked the priest in the middle.
"There are three hundred games in total, and I have earned more than 30,000 yuan!" Yan He said with a smile.
"So much?" The three of them were surprised, although they all knew how to make money, but it was still beyond their imagination to earn 30,000 yuan so easily.
Yan He said with a smile: "What is 30,000, it's only the end of June, and there is still a month to go, we have to earn 300,000!"
"300,000?" the three of them were shocked and their jaws dropped, and asked, "Can you really earn so much?"
"Of course, our Sizhou Island will join forces with you Nari to earn 300,000 yuan!" Yan He smiled faintly.
"That's right, Brother Yan is right!" immediately a priest nodded in agreement.
However, the priest in the middle frowned and asked, "Brother Yan, but we can't keep cheating." Next time it's the last one here, and we don't have a word before it rains!"
Yan He smiled: "What are you afraid of, then we will take the money and go somewhere else!"
"Somewhere else, where?" the priests asked at the same time.
"It's okay anywhere, as long as you get out of here, who knows that if we fail to pray for rain, we will continue to be deceived next!" Yan He seemed confident.
"If you want me to say let's go to other territories, don't look at this as a grain-producing region, the most need for rainwater, speaking of which, we make the least money here!
Yan He smiled and said, "Grand Duke Qi Yue has always emphasized that there is a way to solve the problem of water, so many nobles have waited a little longer, and it is normal to earn less here!"
"There's a solution to the drought, it's, it's impossible unless it rains!" the priest in the middle shook his head at once.
"That's right, and even if it rains, the nobles will think it's our credit, maybe there will be more ceremonies!"
Yan He waved his hand and said, "We are indeed going to another place! These days, Qi Yue Ling has made a lot of moves, many craftsmen have been summoned, and I have also heard that Grand Duke Qi Yue has found a lot of masters. â
"Gather the craftsmen, what are they doing when they gather the craftsmen for lack of water, and there are ...... masters" The three priests looked surprised.
"I heard that it's going to dig a well!" Yan He gave the answer with a smile.
"Dig a well?" the three of them laughed with a snort, isn't this a joke, digging a well for irrigation, it is better to run dozens of miles away to fetch water.
"Don't laugh, whether it's true or not, let's leave immediately after the last game the day after tomorrow!" Yan He said.
"Okay, we understand!" The three of them nodded at the same time, and then stood up: "Brother Yanhe, you rest first, let's go!"
When the three of them left, Yan He showed a smug look and muttered: "Jiang Xingchen, how much you win from Wang Sun, I will make up for it from the Qiankun Empire...... After Wang Sun saw the results, he must have looked at me differently......"
By the beginning of July, Jiang Xingchen had already discovered the underground water storage space in the territory of the three lings in the east, Qingshanling, the Wei family and the Wu family.
And it was this drought that he really understood the essence of these lords and families. Originally, he thought that there were many masters in the Star Leader. But when he saw others, he realized that there were so many masters in this world.
The Wei family, the Wu family, and the Tang family, not to mention the super masters, just one Qingshan Ridge has dragged out nearly forty masters of the condensation realm.
While Jiang Xingchen sighed, he also had confidence in getting tens of thousands of pressurized water wells. However, if those masters knew that in Jiang Xingchen's heart, they played a greater role as well-drilling machine competitors, I don't know if they would be angry.
And when Jiang Xingchen arrived at Qi Yueling, he knew what a real big deal was. In order to cooperate with Jiang Xingchen, Emperor Qiankun actually turned the Eighth Army of Dingbei Hou over and stood by.
And when he heard that the Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital had been invited out, he thought of the previous life, no matter what natural disasters, the front line would always be indispensable for officers and soldiers......
When he arrived in Qi Yueling, Jiang Xingchen's work could be regarded as really unfolding, the irrigated area here was much larger, and almost the entire territory was cultivated land. You can't just look around the main cultivated land, as is the case with Qingshan Ridge.
When Jiang Xingchen arrived, Wang Shuangyang was ecstatic and accompanied him throughout the process. Watching Jiang Xingchen ride on the crab and quickly mark the location of the punches one by one, he was so shocked that he couldn't even find the north.
"This ...... Is it true that finding water is so easy?" Wang Shuangyang's heart was full of doubts! (To be continued......)
