Chapter 370 A Thousand Miles of Drought, the County Magistrate Praying for Rain

The carriage entered Guangling City, and after being away from home for more than a year, Qin Guan also felt a little timid about being close to his hometown. After inquiring in the county, it turned out that his father had built a house in Guangling City, and the whole family had already moved to the city.

Crossing the street and coming to the Qin family's new house, Qin watched the plaque of the Qin family hanging on the door, and knew that he was home.

As soon as Qin Guan got off the car, the concierge saw him, blinked his eyes, and after confirming that it was correct, his face showed ecstasy, and he felt that he stepped forward to salute: "Young master, you are finally back."

Qin Guan nodded, and said with a smile, "Well, I'm back, Luo Qing, you're still the gatekeeper."

Luo Qing said with a smile: "Master, it's very good to watch the door, I like to watch the door, ah, I'll go and inform the master and wife." After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Qin Guan, and ran into the house, shouting all the way. , "The young master is back, the young master is back."

Qin Guan shook his head, this Luo Qing's temperament has not changed at all.

The three girls got out of the car and looked at the new house, Mimi said: "Young Master's house is also very big."

As soon as the four of them entered the yard, the Qin family all came out. Seeing his son, Qin Dashou smiled and said, "My son is finally back."

Qin Guan saluted, "My son has been away studying for a long time, and my parents are worried."

Qin's mother stepped forward and took her son's hand, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. You didn't write a letter before, and we were very worried. After receiving your letter, we were relieved."

Zisu and Yan'er went up to meet the old lady, Qin Guan introduced Mimi to his parents, and Mimi also went up to salute in a sensible manner, and the family finally returned to the main hall.

Talking about the family affairs, the father talked about how to build this big house, the family also bought a few shops in the city, and bought 200 mu of land in the countryside, etc., etc., and told Qin Guanting , Qin Guan didn't find it annoying, so he listened quietly.

Finally, when it came to the drought in the county, Father Qin sighed: "I don't know why, but it's so hot this year, and the sun is so hot that I can't go out of the house. Alas, the crops in our fields are also dying of drought." , I was thinking about whether to give them a reduction or exemption for this year's rent."

Qin Guandao: "Forget it, our family is not short of that little money. If any family has difficulties, we will help them through this disaster year and gain a good reputation. It is much better than a few shi of grain."

"Hey, listen to you." Qin Dashou said.

For his son, he is now obedient to what he says, and his son is much stronger than himself. In the future, the Qin family will always be handed over to him.

On the second day, Qin Guan took his two younger brothers and a group of servants to the village. The sun was so full that the ground was hot and cracks appeared in the fields, not to mention the crops. Even the weeds were dying from the sun.

The breeze blew up, blowing up the dust in the sky.

Hearing the arrival of the master's house, the tenants came over one after another. When they saw that it was Qin Guan, they hurriedly saluted. This is the master Juren, and Xie Yuan, who is the number one in Juren, naturally they dare not neglect.

These tenants had dark and rough skin, and each of them had a bitter look on their faces. Qin Guan said, "I know that this year's drought has caused no harvest in the fields, so I came here to tell everyone that my Qin family's rent is completely free this year."

Hearing Qin Guan's words, many people showed a rare smile on their faces, but Qin Guan's next words made many people's faces show ecstasy.

Qin Guandao: "Although the rent is exempted, I am afraid that many families will not be able to live on, so my Qin family is going to lend grain to the tenants. As long as the family is in difficulty, they can go to the Qin family granary to borrow grain, free of interest, and wait until next year. Just pay back the harvest.”

After hearing Qin Guan's words, an old tenant farmer couldn't help but knelt down to Qin Guan, and the others followed suit, all kneeling together.

The old farmer said loudly: "Young master, we thank the Qin family for their kindness, which allows us to live. We only use rations as an excuse. As long as there is a harvest next year, we will guarantee to pay it back as soon as possible, and we will never default on it."

Qin Guan quickly went to pull the old farmer, "Get up, get up, we are fish and water, how can the Qin family refuse to save you if you are in trouble, well, take me to see the situation in the field, and see if you can save yourself , can you charge me a little?"

Everyone got up and surrounded Qin Guan to the field. In fact, the Qin family's field was not bad, and there was a small river flowing beside it, but now it was completely dry, even the silt on the river bed was dry.

"Is there any water in the well?" Qin Guan asked.

Everyone came to the well again and poured a bucket of water, which was still the clean water before, but a bucket of mud. It seemed that the well was about to dry up.

Facing the natural disaster, Qin Guan had no choice. As soon as he returned to Qin’s house, he received a report from the housekeeper. The county magistrate sent someone to post that the magistrate was going to pray for rain again in two days. Knowing that Qin Guan was back, he invited him to participate in the rain prayer , and there were no fewer than a hundred old gentry from the county who went with them.

Two days later, Qin Guan dressed up and came outside the city. In a wide place outside the city, a rain praying altar was set up in the county. Watch around.

On both sides of the altar, there are monks on one side and Taoist priests on the other. Qin Guanxin said that the county magistrate Di seems to have used all available tricks.

At the beginning of praying for rain, the magistrate of Di County led the crowd to kneel three times and nine times. Outside Guangling City, there was a mass of kneeling, and then he recited a prayer for rain. If I were the Dragon King, I would give a drop or two of rain for this article.

But from the morning to the noon, the sun in the sky was still like a fire, but there was no cool wind blowing. Many elderly people could not stand it anymore, and some people fainted and were carried away from time to time.

"Lord Dragon, please take pity on us. If it doesn't rain again, we people in Guangling will die of thirst and starvation, and will be homeless." County Magistrate Di cried out sadly.

Immediately, the people below started to cry, weeping for their miserable tomorrow. The crying became louder and louder, and the sound shook the whole field.

Qin Guan was shocked by the crying, he had never felt this way before, in modern times, even if he encountered such a drought, at least there was government relief, and people would never starve to death, but in ancient times, this was a big deal, It is true that people will die, and the destruction of the family is just around the corner.

It's no wonder that in the event of a catastrophe, even the emperor who considers himself the Son of Heaven kneels down to the Dragon King and begs for rain respectfully.

Natural disasters are beyond the reach of human beings.

Suddenly, a wild blow passed by, and a figure flew from a distance, and the people looked in surprise. This figure fell directly on the altar, but it was a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with a dust whisk in his hand, and a gray beard fell on the altar. chest.

The old Taoist looked at the audience and said loudly: "Poverty Taoist Heavenly Dao Zong Yuantong, everyone, there is a drought here as a disaster. It is useless for you to kneel down here to worship the Dragon King. The poor Taoist came here to understand the worries of the people."

　Don't scold me! ! !No more, just two more.
