I'm so hard

Chapter 221 The Magic Stick Enters

Late at night, outside the tent.

Zhao Yan stood on a big rock, looking at the stars in the sky, and asked Yang Hong who was beside him: "Tomorrow, I am going to personally go to Xicheng Mansion to see what's going on inside."

"Your Majesty, no, it's too dangerous! The folk customs there are tough, and all kinds of accidents may happen. If you want to know something, I can send a few spies to watch it."

Zhao Yan shook his head.

"If you want to completely solve the problem of Xicheng Mansion, you must change their cognition and make them believe that the drought has nothing to do with the New Deal. As far as I can see, there is no sign of rain at all. Since it is not raining, then I will Just find a way to make it rain!"

Yang Hong was taken aback, and asked, "Your Majesty means...you can... control the celestial phenomena?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face: "You will know when the time comes."

When he was in Dahong County, Zhao Yan had already thought of a way to solve the crisis of Xicheng Mansion. Although the success rate was not high, once he succeeded, he, the emperor, would become the god in the hearts of the people here.

The next day, early in the morning.

Hei Wa took Zhao Yan away in a carriage.

Today's Xicheng Mansion, although the city gate is still open and anyone is allowed to enter and exit, but because there are Hongya troops inside, generally people with a little money will not enter Xicheng Mansion.Only those who were about to die due to famine chose to enter Xicheng Mansion.

Once you enter Xicheng Mansion, you have two choices, one is to become a member of the Hong Ya Army; the other is to just be an ordinary citizen.

Because Xicheng's food is mobilized by Hong Yajun, becoming Hong Yajun can have more and better food every day than ordinary people.

However, if he became Hong Yajun, he would not be able to leave Xicheng Mansion without authorization.

The leader of the Hongya army, Hong Cheng'an, only knows how to put pressure on the imperial court by rebellion, but he doesn't know the art of governing at all, so the whole Xicheng city is actually quite chaotic.

Zhao Yan and Hei Wa didn't want to attract too much attention, and when they were about to arrive at Xicheng Mansion, they changed all their clothes into coarse cloth shirts, and then walked towards the city wall on foot.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the city, they were stopped by two routine inspection soldiers.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Yan smiled slightly, and said: "I... I am a scholar from a nearby village. I heard that Hong Yajun opposed the New Deal, and I am also very opposed to the New Deal, so coming here is also very powerful!"

Hearing this, the two soldiers on the side showed bright smiles on their faces.

In the past few days, nearly a hundred scholars have come to analyze the city for this reason.

Their leader, Hong Chengan, likes this kind of people the most.

"Please come in!" The two said respectfully.

Immediately, Zhao Yan and Hei Wa walked into Xichengfu City.

The main street of Xicheng Mansion is a large street with a length of 1000 meters and a width of 50 meters, surrounded by various shops.

But now, all the shops are closed.

Everything in the city has become a shared thing, so no one does business anymore.

At present, the people analyzing the city are mainly concentrated in three places.

First, most of the people stay in their own homes and go out to the state capital to collect food every evening.

Second, the soldiers who joined the Hongya Army trained in the large open spaces in the south and west of the city, including collecting and distributing food.

Thirdly, there is another class of scholars, all gathered in a big arena in the center of the city.

Hong Chengan is also here, and everyone is discussing how to use more effective methods to get the court to abolish the New Deal.

This group of talkative people is the busiest. From the discussion in the morning to midnight, someone brings food when they are hungry, and drinks water from the surrounding wells when they are thirsty. They can all rest.

It's just that there was a lot of discussion, and they didn't have a particularly good way to force the court to abolish the New Deal.

If Zhao Yan wanted to know more information, he would naturally go to the big arena in the center of the city.

When he was 300 meters away from the big ring, he saw a huge crowd of people, among them a middle-aged man in blue cloth was in the middle of the ring, spitting and talking non-stop.

Due to the distance, Zhao Yan couldn't hear what he was saying.

However, Zhao Yan could smell an inexplicable smell from all the way.

This group of old men, in such a hot weather, did not take a bath, did not wash their feet, did not change their clothes, and chatted from day to night for at least a month. The smell must be unpleasant.

Zhao Yan covered his nose and slowly got used to the smell before walking to the edge of the crowd.

"Brothers, what our Hongya army is going to oppose is not His Majesty, nor the imperial court. What we are opposing is only the New Deal. It has not rained for half a year, which is an early warning for us. If the New Deal continues to be implemented, my whole week may fall into a severe drought. Among them, we will never allow this kind of thing to happen!" A scholar was talking with his throat in the ring, and from time to time, it aroused the unanimous resonance of the crowd below.

And in the corner of the arena, a middle-aged man sat on a grand teacher's chair, and he nodded with satisfaction from time to time, and around him, there were several soldiers in armor guarding him.Zhao Yan guessed that this person might be Hong Cheng'an.

After Zhao Yan listened for a while, he couldn't help curling his lips. If it didn't involve the New Deal, the scholar's words were actually words of loyalty to the court, but whenever the New Deal was mentioned, he felt that the New Deal would bring Dazhou into the infinite dark abyss.

After the scholar went down, another scholar stood on the stage.

This scholar is completely complaining about his grievances throughout the whole process. What Great Zhou has blocked the way of scholars in the world. If there are no scholars like him in Great Zhou, it will quickly decline. The New Deal is the biggest stumbling block hindering the prosperity of Great Zhou, etc...

Zhao Yan wanted to kick him when he heard it. This was a joke that the old people in the village often said: You really can't have children and blame the bed.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Everyone, Pindao can analyze the crisis in the city!"

Everyone searched for their reputation, and saw a Taoist wearing a Taoist uniform, holding a dust whisk, and followed by two little Taoist boys striding to the center of the ring.

"Spiritual Master Feng Yi in Kongtong Mountain, Pindao, can help the city government solve this crisis!" Master Feng Yi shook his whisk lightly, looked around and said.

Hearing this name, Hong Chengan showed excitement, stood up quickly, and walked towards the center of the ring.

"You are Mr. Divine Divination Feng Yiren? I have heard of your name a long time ago, and I know that you have been divination for [-] years and have never had any problems." Hong Chengan said excitedly. He is a fan of divination.

"It's too good to be true!" Feng Yi shook his whisk, with the demeanor of an outsider, and then said: "The poor Taoist cares about the country, and today he came to Xicheng Mansion to do his best. I don't know Commander Hong. What is there to divination?"

Hong Cheng'an thought for a while and said, "I want to know, when will it rain in Xicheng Mansion?"
