Chapter 41 Betting || Betting
"Confused! Confused! I have always believed that you are a wise and sensible king, but what you have done has really disappointed me! You are a dignified and worthy king, how can you be like those ignorant people? You... ...Hey." In the early morning, the emperor pointed to the collapsed memorial and sighed deeply.
Xuanyuanpu, the virtuous king, listened to the words of a Taoist, and spent a lot of money, setting up altars, and trying to pray for rain to relieve the drought.In the eyes of the common people, there is still a little bit of reliability, but the people in the court are very clear, this is simply nonsense.This makes it even more obvious that Xuanyuanpu started to excavate the reservoir. These actions are just a joke, and it is a waste of people and money.
"Qi Zou the emperor, the virtuous king's actions have shaken the hearts of the people. If the rain does not fall, the people may lose their hearts. What's more, the cistern that the virtuous king ordered the people to dig now has no water to store. I'm afraid that there will be more troubles. Since the virtuous king can't properly solve the drought, he should propose it early and let the officials offer suggestions, so as not to drag it to the point where it cannot be saved!" An old minister on the side of the prince stood up and said .He put all his sins on Xuanyuanpu's head, procrastinating the drought, and even if there is any disturbance in the future, it must be Xuanyuanpu's fault.
Immediately there was heated discussion below, and the people on King Xian's side all looked at King Xian worriedly.They asked experienced farmers to look at it, and they came to the conclusion: this rain will definitely not come down for a while!
"Xian Wang, what else do you have to say?" the emperor asked, sighing deeply.
"Father, I do have a claim on this matter. If it doesn't rain within seven days, I will go to the clan's mansion to collect the blame!" Xuanyuan Pu knelt down and said firmly.
"...Okay, I will wait another seven days, King Xian, don't let me down again." The emperor said, and the people on the side of the crown prince wanted to say something, but the emperor waved his hand to stop him.
After Xuanyuanpu went to court, he went to Prince Hui's mansion first to visit Xuanyuanyun.Hua Mu, who had been busy for a few days and hadn't seen anyone, happened to be there, and Xuanyuanpu and he took him to the study to talk about what happened in court this morning.
"Thank you His Royal Highness for your trust. I have already made preparations. It doesn't take seven days, but within three days, the rain will definitely fall." Hua Mu said, fortunately Xuanyuanpu made a clear target in front of the court, and then Let what he does behind the scenes be smooth sailing.I'm afraid Xuanyuanpu has been under a lot of pressure these days.
"Mr. Hua doesn't need to say thank you. I should be thanking Mr. for your hard work. I need to trouble Mr. to continue to worry about this matter. Ayun's side is also fine. As for the rain, I would like to ask Mr. Hua to arrange it this morning. It can also alleviate the drought and relieve the worries of the people." Xuanyuan Pu thought of Xuanyuan Yun who had just seen it, and the serious face he brought down from the court softened.
"Well, I'll go get ready now." Hua Mu nodded and returned, he and Xuanyuan Pu are now called you and me in private.
"...Mr. Hua, cough cough... how about the second son come in?" Xuanyuanpu didn't know why, once he talked about flowers and plants in front of others, he had a different feeling, a little awkward.
"Everything is fine for Xiaocao recently. There are some things that I can't take care of. I need Xiaocao to take care of them, so I make arrangements outside when I come in." Hua Mu replied, looking at Xuanyuanpu meaningfully.
"Ahem... That's good, but Yan'er and Yue'er are a little bit concerned about their husbands who haven't seen them for a while." Xuanyuan Pu tried to explain.
"I know." Hua Mu smiled, which made Xuanyuanpu feel that something was wrong, and he didn't explain any more, feeling like it was getting darker and darker, so he said something was wrong and left.
Cooperating with Xuanyuanpu's actions, let the so-called "Taoist" show off wantonly on the altar.According to Hua Mu's previous agreement, there are people in every dry area who will treat her seriously!As the sun moved, Hua Mu looked at the reflection of the branch on the ground, which gradually became shorter. Seeing that the time was almost up, Hua Mu nodded to Xuanyuan Pu beside him.
Xuanyuanpu immediately understood that the "Taoist priest" on the stage would also enter the final stage of praying for rain, only to see Buddha Chen waved and began to call for wind and rain.The people under the altar have their own thoughts, and the people naturally hope that everything will go smoothly, but some people may have thought about the hardships of the people, and only want everything to be messed up, and it is best for Xuanyuanpu to suffer!
"Boom..." In some of the more hidden high places in the arid area, such a sound came to mind. Some people who were close to him vaguely heard such a sound. They thought it was thunder, and they were all devout. He knelt on the ground and prayed.
If someone sees these desolate high places now, they will find a group of people at the highest point. If you look closely, those people are actually caravans from the capital!In fact, these caravans were arranged by Hua Mu. Xuanyuanpu's subordinates are absolutely trustworthy generals, and their purpose is to bring rain!What they shipped out was Hua Mu's carefully prepared dry ice for rain.
What worries Hua Mu is not the leak of the dry ice, but the power to launch the carbon dioxide into the air... gunpowder.The arrival of Hua Mu and even hot weapons is a destructive representative for this turbulent dynasty.If gunpowder is involved in the war, then rivers of blood will appear in this era, which Hua Mu does not want to see.
It's not unbelievable, the gunpowder and carbon dioxide are prepared by Hua Mu himself, and there is no fake hand.In terms of raw materials, Huamu has formulated some ingredients that can react with sulfur, carbon, nitric acid, etc. in gunpowder, and then put these ingredients into his own space laboratory to confuse the formula so that later generations cannot imitate.He knew that with Xuanyuanpu's intelligence, it would be very easy to prepare gunpowder only by starting from the raw materials, so he kept this hand.
The "Taoist priests" on the stage were still sweating profusely to "perform", and the dark clouds in the sky really gathered more and more, and even occasionally thunder was heard.The hearts of the people also raised their throats as the dark clouds slowly gathered together, and their prayer attitudes became more pious, while their eyes stared at the dark clouds that slowly seemed to be pressing down from the sky for a moment.
And thick white smoke began to rise around the altar at some point, and it was not choking at all. Those who noticed it wanted to think it was a fire and stepped forward to put out the fire.However, the "Taoist" stopped him, saying that it was a sign from the heavens, and the people in the audience did not dare to act rashly.There were so few who wanted to make trouble, but they were all stopped by Xuanyuanpu's soldiers.When everyone is wondering about the thick smoke on the altar...
A flash of light pierced the completely dark sky, illuminating the devout faces, and with a deafening sound of [Boom...], it crashed into everyone's hearts.Even the people in the house and the shop ran out one after another.The purple lightning flashed into everyone's hearts like a ray of hope.
After the thunder and lightning, the big raindrops came as promised, as if they wanted to release half of the long-term backlog together, and the raindrops fell on people's bodies, feeling heavy.But no one avoided the baptism of the raindrops, and everyone cheered in the rain: "It's raining! It's raining!"
"The Taoist...the Taoist is gone!"
"The tribute is gone!"
"Gods! It's the gods who came to save us! The gods came to save us!"
The people cheering in the rain knelt down and kowtowed respectfully and gratefully toward the altar.
The yelling started from nowhere, the "Taoist" on the altar and all the sacrifices had already disappeared in the white smoke just now.It's just that everyone's eyes were attracted by the lightning and the ensuing heavy rain just now, and only then did they realize it.
These sacrifices must be the silver taels allocated by the court, as well as the things collected by the country gentry and big businessmen.The reason why they were "disappeared" with the Taoist priests was that Xuanyuan Yun spent a lot of private money for the drought this time, and there will be more places to use the money in the future, so it has to be made up!And that "Taoist priest" can't continue to appear in front of everyone, he is really not a Taoist priest!With just a random question, the original shape can be revealed, that is the person arranged by Xuanyuanpu.
And the disappearance of the two together is easy to explain. The "Taoist" is a god in the sky. He couldn't bear to see the people of the Li people suffering from drought, so he went down to earth to help, and sent clouds and rain to relieve the drought.And the offerings must have been taken away by the gods when they went to heaven, which made the people happy, and there was a sense of solidity that the gods would protect them after receiving the "gift".
Xuanyuanpu looked at the pouring rain with satisfaction, and he refused all the umbrellas offered by his subordinates, and his clenched fists relaxed like his heart.Finally, it's finally over...
Hua Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the principle of dry ice is correct, the actual implementation does not know the result.Now everything is going well, and it can be regarded as the big stone in my heart has fallen.Now, there is only a beautiful ending left!
The author has something to say: I probably won’t enter V, Adu will insist on updating, I hope everyone will forgive Adu for stopping the update!
If there is no accident, try to change it every day!Won't be interrupted for a long time...
Xuanyuanpu, the virtuous king, listened to the words of a Taoist, and spent a lot of money, setting up altars, and trying to pray for rain to relieve the drought.In the eyes of the common people, there is still a little bit of reliability, but the people in the court are very clear, this is simply nonsense.This makes it even more obvious that Xuanyuanpu started to excavate the reservoir.
