The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 606 Spring rain is as expensive as oil

The so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil.

From the beginning of spring to the present, Chang'an City has not had a single drop of rain.

The consequences of this are serious.

Many fields will dry up.

And some people started hoarding water.

Preparedness should be for the next possible drought,
Because of this matter, the people in the entire Chang'an City became a little worried.

After all, if there is no more rain, it indicates that the next spring drought is about to enter.

In this way, the impact on crops can be said to be very large.

The direct impact of drought on crops is harvest failure.

Once this situation is entered, it is possible to cause famine.

This is a top priority.

The people in the entire Chang'an City are talking about this matter.Make people panic, people uneasy
At the same time in Daming Palace.

Li Shimin and the civil and military officials were also discussing the severe drought.How could he not be concerned about such an important matter?

At this time Hou Junji came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be caused by the sixth prince! If it wasn't him, it wouldn't be like this!"

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and the others wondered, why did Li Yin cause everything?Does he even care about the day?Still keep it from raining?That is the existence of god level.Does Hou Junji speak without brain thinking?
I am afraid that only Hou Junji can say such words.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What did he do? What does this severe drought have to do with him?"

Yes, what did you do?Civil and military officials are also puzzled.

why?
"If everything is as Hou Shangshu said, then Mr. Zili is a god! Hou Shangshu, you must stand up to scrutiny when you speak, and don't exclude Mr. Zili every chance you get! It's obvious that you did this! The influence is very bad! "

Xue Rengui couldn't listen anymore, and said directly.

No one can say that Li Yin is wrong.

Hou Junji ignored Xue Rengui.

On the contrary, he said: "Because the sixth prince cut off the water upstream, he angered the sky, so the sky doesn't send water down!"

If this kind of brain circuit is in the future, people will definitely be scolded to death.

But now it is Datang, and many people's cognition has not been affected by future science.

So, it seems to make sense when you hear it.

Sometimes changing the status quo can cause problems!This is the only explanation.

Gao Shilian followed up and said: "In previous years, it would have rained at this time, and it was also because the Sixth Prince's privately built reservoir interrupted the cycle of thousands of years, so it didn't rain!"

The severe drought is related to the weather and temperature, how could they link this matter with Li Yin.

And Li Yin's small reservoir hasn't been built yet!The river hasn't changed much.

If Li Yin knew about this, he would die laughing.

But Li Shimin didn't say anything.

Probably also thinking about it in my heart.

Yes, this is what people can foresee. If they encounter this kind of thing, most of them will think of what changes they have made before.

It will make the future like this.

It was Fang Xuanling who spoke for Li Yin.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame the Sixth Prince for this matter. He is also thinking of the people. Also, I heard that he is also promoting electric vehicles this time. The reservoir is used for electric energy. This matter is not harmful, and There are many benefits! Why don't you do something that is beneficial?"

These words have refreshed everyone's perception.

It turned out that Li Yin was doing this.

Unexpected.

They thought the function of this reservoir was very simple, maybe it was just to intercept the water and raise fish or something.

I don't want to, but it has such a far-reaching effect.

But some people just don't want to hear about it.

The previous hundred Jinshi also began to play a role.They spoke with a unified voice and spoke for Li Yin, and what they said was very reasonable.

Facing such a huge force, Hou Junji directly said: "Then how to explain this severe drought? Give me an explanation!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't take it anymore.

He said directly: "Maybe it's because of Hou Junji that you have married an extra concubine. You are still harming young girls at such an age. I'm afraid it will also anger the heavens! It makes the heavens not want to rain to punish the ignorant people. Don't do this kind of thing." Well, maybe if you cancel the engagement and make up for it, it will rain!"

What he said made everyone laugh.

This is called repaying the person in the same way as the person.

"Zhijie, what do you mean by that?"

These words angered Hou Junji.

He flushed with anger.

That's right, some time ago, he did take a concubine, or it was because the girl was so beautiful.

He couldn't help it.

But in ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines.

But this guy is so old, and he married a concubine, which is a bit unreasonable.

Speaking of him, everyone thought of Li Yuan again, who seemed to be more vicious than him.The wife keeps marrying and the children keep giving birth.

Facing Hou Junji's anger.

But Cheng Yaojin didn't take it seriously.

He is like this, kind of biting him!How dare Hou Junji?I was beaten last time and couldn't fight back, but now my face is still hurting!

At the same time, Gao Shilian made a suggestion.

He only heard him say: "How about this, if His Majesty asks the sky for rain, maybe he can get the favor of the heavens, and then he will rain heavily! Bless the people!"

This may be the best solution that people can think of now.

At the same time, if this matter gets out, then Li Shimin will also have a lot of face.

After all, he is also for the people, and he will not let go if he can win the hearts of the people.

I'm afraid that if I can't ask for rain at that time, I will laugh Li Yin's big teeth off.

Really overreaching, what is the use of this kind of ideological pleading?If it is useful, there is no need to be afraid of Datang. If you ask for it every day, the weather will be smooth and the country will live in peace.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think it is feasible!"

Hou Junji also said.

As for the others, they also said that the method of praying for rain is feasible.

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Wei Zheng didn't have any special feelings. After all, if they could get rain, it must be pretty good.

Li Shimin sighed.

"I'm afraid that I will have to ask for rain in person. Don't let the people suffer from the drought!"

He spoke very vividly.

It moved all the civil and military officials.

All shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Come here, prepare the sacrificial offerings. In the afternoon, we will go out to the east of the city to pray for rain!"

Li Shimin ordered, this is directly requested.

Meanwhile, everyone is busy.

A large number of troops began to gather outside the east gate.

At the same time, the news about Li Shimin's begging for rain spread directly throughout Chang'an.

After hearing this, everyone gave a thumbs up, saying that Li Shimin is a wise king, and he always thinks of the people.

But these things were heard by Li Min, but he didn't take them seriously.

Above the Tang Tower, Li Yin also received news that Li Shimin was going out to pray for rain.

He stood on the edge of the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking east.

At this time, Ji Ruxue was beside him.
