Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune

After Long Yuan went in, he told the emperor about Su Muyao's matter. Although the emperor felt that the success rate was not high, he still wanted to try it, so he let him do it.

Early the next morning, Long Yuan came to Su Muyao's courtyard with a dozen guards.

The little girl with a messy hair just walked out of the room and saw a group of people standing in the yard with serious faces.

I saw Naituanzi yelling and quickly going to wash up. He didn't expect these people to come so early. What about his image!

After washing up and having a quick breakfast, he came to Long Yuan.

He called on the master to take the hot air balloon, various materials and dry ice that had been prepared long ago and asked several guards to move them to the open space where the rain-praying ceremony had been held before.

...

Following Su Muyao's instructions, several guards assembled the hot air balloon in less than half a day.

A burly man with a simple and honest face walked up to Long Yuan respectfully and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

The man was the third son of Wang Heng, the commander of the imperial guards. He was also one of Long Yuan's trusted men who had been carefully selected and secretly trained.

"What are these boxes of yours?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the large boxes piled together by a dozen guards and asked Su Muyao.

"It contains dry ice preparation, which is the core of artificial rainfall."

Su Muyao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a serious look on her face, "The drought is getting worse and worse, and artificial rainfall is imminent.

Let's go check it out and prepare to launch the hot air balloon immediately."

Long Yuan followed Su Muyao like a younger brother. In fact, he looked solemn. He didn't know whether his plan of making artificial rainfall would be successful in the end.

Now it is a severe drought.

It has not rained since the beginning of summer, and this year's drought is much more serious than in previous years.

The crops planted by the people and the cattle and sheep they raised died of thirst.

As the drought continued to worsen, severe famine broke out among the people.

Countless people sold their children and even lived on their own children. Those who had no way to make a living in their registered places became refugees, and there was a risk of riots at any time.

With the invasion of barbarians, the great dynasty was basically on the verge of collapse.

In addition, since his prayer for rain had failed, the high priest blamed all the faults on the prince.

If the drought continues, the great dynasty will be renamed.

"Yingyi, go and invite our father over."

"Yes"

At the same time, the emperor and empress in the palace disguised themselves as ordinary people and planned to come and see the artificial rainfall that their prince mentioned.

But before he left the city gate, he met Ying Yi, who was sent by the prince to deliver a message.

The two of them hurried back to change into gorgeous clothes. They naturally understood what the prince meant. If the rain was successful, a blessing would be bestowed upon their dynasty. God bless the great dynasty.

After the order was passed down, all the trusted ministers followed.

When we arrived at the scene, we found that these people were still tinkering with the huge hot air balloon.

However, the emperor brought all the civil and military officials to the refugee gathering place. He had already thought of an excuse. If the rainfall failed this time, he would have to ask these ministers to donate grain and silver.

But as I walked along the way and saw all kinds of tragic scenes, I became more and more frightened.

After watching for a while, the emperor felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife.

At this time, the people were still living in dire straits. The ongoing drought not only showed no signs of easing, but was getting worse.

The scorching sun was still burning the earth, and there was not a trace of moisture in the air.

The land outside the city cracked due to excessive drought, forming red gullies.

Besides the cracks on the ground, all you can see are dying crops and plants.

The vibrant scene of the past disappeared without a trace.

Outside the city, there were ragged people fleeing everywhere.

Some of these refugees begged from passers-by on the roadside with broken bowls, while others knelt on the ground with a pious look on their faces and prayed to God for rain.

Some people even cruelly sold their own children just for a bite of food...

Similar scenes are constantly being played out on the land of the Great Dynasty.

The situation is already so serious under the emperor's feet, let alone those remote areas.

It is no exaggeration to say that the once prosperous and wealthy capital city has turned into a horrific hell on earth in some places due to this severe drought.

Looking at the scenes before her, the queen couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such tragic scenes could happen under the emperor's feet.

Except for the emperor, empress and other important ministers, everyone was shocked and heartbroken when they saw this scene.

The severity of this drought has exceeded their imagination.

"This drought is so severe. As an emperor, I have made the lives of the people of my dynasty so miserable. I am so incompetent."

Although the emperor muttered this to himself, everyone heard it.

In the eyes of the ancients, all kinds of disasters that occurred among the people were due to the emperor's misconduct, and that God deliberately sent down disasters as warnings.

The emperor then asked the Imperial Observatory beside him, "Has anyone predicted whether it will rain soon?"

The gray-haired old man stepped forward and bowed, but finally shook his head in frustration and said: "Your Majesty, there is no sign that it will rain recently."

The emperor sighed and asked another minister, "How much food is left in the granary, and how long can it last?"

Lord Du, who was being questioned, shook his head implicitly and said worriedly: "Your Highness, most of the grain in the six granaries has been given out for disaster relief. The reserves are not much and will not last long."

The emperor's brows furrowed into a "川" shape when he heard this.

At this moment, the queen beside her widened her eyes and looked towards a certain place.

"Your Majesty, look what that is?"

The emperor looked in the direction the queen pointed and his eyes widened instantly, to see dozens of huge spheres rising in the direction they came from.

After a moment's pause, the emperor looked surprised and asked, "What on earth is that? How can it float in the air like a Kongming lantern?"

Things that can be in the sky are not uncommon, after all, Kongming lanterns had already appeared during this period.

But it is really incredible that a ball like this can fly with such a large volume.

After seeing the incredible scene before them, the ministers at the scene all showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene before them completely overturned their imagination.

"Your Majesty, this must be the hot air balloon that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned."

The emperor naturally understood that if the rainfall this time was not good, it might really be realized by a little farmer.

Of course he didn't believe it before, but now he has no choice but to believe it.

Everyone rushed back impatiently, and as soon as they arrived they saw Long Yuan coming forward to report.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. This thing can be used to pray for rain from heaven."

The emperor was caught off guard by his son's sudden words.

The last second, he had already believed that this thing could really bring rain.

But the next second, his son told him to pray to God for rain.

"Pray to the heaven for rain. Do you know the Dragon King who can call the wind and rain?"

The one who spoke was the prime minister. Although he was extremely surprised by the thing in front of him, he really didn't believe it when he heard about praying for rain from heaven.
