After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 116 The Governor Praying for Rain
As soon as Su Yixiang came back, Zhao Ling'er really felt that the burden on her shoulders was much relieved, and all the business promotion was handed over to Su Yixiang.

After the plan to raise ticket prices was made, Zhao Linger asked someone to come and rebuild the stage and audience seats.

This morning, a few girls were chatting, and one of them said: "Oh, if I don't come to rehearse today, I will go to the Wenxuan Temple to watch the governor pray for rain."

"Pray for rain?"

"Yes, I heard that the auspicious day was calculated in advance, and it was set on March 25th."

After hearing this, Zhao Linger slandered: "The ancients were really superstitious. Is it useful to pray for rain?"

Seeing that it would take a long time to finish building the seats, Zhao Linger suddenly wanted to join in the fun and see how Governor Shi Guangtian prayed for rain.

When I came to the street, I saw many people walking in the direction of Wenxuan Temple in small groups.

Most of them wear wicker hats, some are barefoot, some wear hemp sandals or straw sandals, and they hold a long wicker in their hands.

Someone in front carried sedan chairs one after another. I heard that there were various gods in them.

Zhao Linger followed Xiangmin into the Wenxuan Temple, first offered incense and worshiped in the main hall in front of the Wenxuan Temple, and then parked the miraculous sedan chairs on the square in front of the Wenxuan Temple. The large and small miraculous sedan chairs almost filled the square.All the tablets of gods and Buddhas in the sedan chair were carried out and placed on the stage.

The prayer for rain has begun.

The governor gathered in front of the stage with officials, gentry and people, held sacrificial ceremonies and read sacrificial texts.

"The gods depend on the people, and serve them as if they are there. Manpower is trapped, and the gods depend on them. Therefore, the ruler of the underworld is quicker than the induction, and the hearts of the people lead the people to marry him. The year is dry and the seedlings are withered, and the spring and summer... The people are afraid of misfortune and dare not live in peace. Dare to tell the God of Haotian that the rain will sway, and the grain and wheat will not grow... I hope that the gods will bless the torrential lake, and the farmland will be transformed into a happy new year , All animals and plants will be blessed.”

After the governor finished reading a large sacrificial oration, he led everyone to kowtow and offer incense.Then pour the water from Xingyun Temple, Fogou Temple and Jiutian Shengnv Temple into the pool in front of Wenxuan Temple, praying that the rain will be as continuous as these clear springs.

Looking at Governor Shi's pious appearance, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

If the fate of people and the fate of dealers are determined by heaven, then why bother to pray so much?

You don't have to take action, God will arrange for you.

But the reality is, my fate is up to me.

All we humans can do is discover the laws of nature and use the power of nature, not the power of gods.

Thinking of this, Zhao Linger felt that what she was watching at the moment was a farce, so she felt dull and turned back.

It was strange to say that the morning was still cloudless and the weather was clear, but in the afternoon there was a strong wind and thunder, and the girls all said that it was an apparition from the gods in the sky.

Although Zhao Ling'er didn't believe it, but it was raining heavily today, and she couldn't argue.

Governor Shi was even more excited.

Looking at the heavy rain falling from the sky, he sincerely felt how correct his decision to pray for rain was.

If he had known that his prayer for rain was so effective, he would have prayed for rain in February.

But it's not too late.

After this rain, and then another rain every month, this year's wheat harvest is in sight.

Yunzhou is really my geomantic treasure!

It seems that the day when I return to the capital is not far away!

Governor Wang was also very happy watching the heavy rain at home. Although he knew that Shi Guangtian took people to pray for rain this morning, he felt very sad, but now seeing the heavy rain, he comforted himself, no matter what, this year there will be no rain. The common people have suffered.

Only Su Yi Ning frowned, it started to rain heavily just as the business was negotiated, why didn't it rain sooner, it made me waste my trip.

Although the heavy rain only lasted for a short while, everyone in Yunzhou City was healed by the long-lost heavy rain.

The irritability, doubts, and worries accumulated in my heart during this period of time seemed to be washed away by the heavy rain.

A rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain.

Everyone said that this is an auspicious sign, and this year must be a good harvest year.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhao Linger became happy too.It doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, as long as everyone is happy, it doesn't matter if you make less money.

Mrs. Wang had been hiding from the rain outside just now, and now that the rain stopped, she hurriedly sent someone to carry her home.

I have been looking at shops outside for the past few days, but I am not satisfied with it.

After dinner that night, Zhao Linger casually asked Mrs. Su how the preparations for opening a branch were going.

Mrs. Su frowned and said: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to choose a suitable shop. Too small shops are not enough, big shops are expensive, and the location is not good. I don't want to rent. The location is very Well, the rent is terrifyingly expensive. I almost ran all over Yunzhou, but I haven't found a suitable place yet."

Zhao Linger recalled that when he went to Wenxuan Temple this morning, there was a vacant lot near Wenxuan Temple where a house was being built, so he asked Master Su: "Father, is there a new house being built near Wenxuan Temple?"

Master Su thought for a while, and said: "It should be, that was planned by us years ago, to build a Futian courtyard near the Wenxuan Temple, so that the lonely and widowed old people can live there. According to the planned time, it should have been built by this time Understand."

Zhao Linger thought for a while, and it seemed that something could be added in that area, and I'll check the situation tomorrow.

Back in the room at night, Zhao Linger calculated her existing funds.

The business of the hot pot restaurant has been good recently, and it has accumulated more than 7000 taels of silver in the past two months.

Including my original silver, there are now a total of 2 taels.

The accounts of the beauty pageant have not been settled yet, but now more than 3 taels of silver have been accumulated, and 1 taels of silver are reserved as expenses for the beauty pageant, and the remaining 5000 taels can be used for further investment.But with the consent of the elder brother.

The next day, Zhao Linger went to the "store and house affairs" department of the yamen to learn more about the situation.Sure enough, as Master Su said, a Futian courtyard is going to be built nearby to live in for the widowed and lonely elderly free of charge.

Zhao Ling'er went to Wenxuan Temple to check the surrounding situation in person. Three miles from the west of Yunzhou, there was a small Niangniang Temple, and then there was a large wasteland, and then four or five miles away, there was Wenxuan Temple.

In one sentence, this is a wasteland similar to a wasteland.

After Zhao Linger read it, she had a rough idea in her heart.

After dinner, Zhao Linger stayed to chat with Master Su and Su Yixiang.

Zhao Linger said: "Father, I went to have a look around the Wenxuan Temple today. There is still a wasteland over there. Why has no one farmed?"

Master Su looked at Zhao Linger, shook his head, and said: "In that area, there are sand and stones under the ground, and no farmer can grow it."

"Then why not build a house?"

"Heh, there is a large piece of good land where you don't want to build a house, so why build a house there!" Master Su said with a smile.

Zhao Linger was silent for a moment, looked at Master Su and Su Yixiang, and asked, "How about we buy the land near Wenxuan Temple and turn it into an amusement park and a commercial street?"
