Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 387

Chapter 387 You Can't Quench Your Near Thirst

Qin Yang led his people around, he didn't need to dig wells for the time being, he had already completed the task of a thousand deep water wells, so now he just went around to see the farming situation.

The new area is already becoming more and more perfect, but Qin Yang gave some suggestions for revision after going around for a while.

On the periphery of the new district, checkpoints have been set up. After all the new districts on the periphery of the county are established, more systematic peripheral planning will be carried out.Originally, Qin Yang planned to build a city wall outside the outer city.But because the entire area was completely widened by him, it was gradually impossible to build a city wall to protect it.Because the scope is too large, if the city wall is to be built, not only will it consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but it will also take a long time.

Instead of wasting manpower, material resources and time on this matter, it is better to build some fortresses and checkpoints around.

Set up patrol points and garrison points.

As long as these points are guaranteed to be perfected, the outer city of the county will be very strong without a city wall.

Before Qin Yang received the order from Chang'an, he had been busy with these things during this time.

In the eyes of those people, Qin Yang was more concerned about this year's drought.As a result, the news of Qin Yang's well drilling spread farther along with the news of a possible severe drought in the north.

Chang'an office

Some people were drinking tea in the teahouse. They were merchants in their thirties. They whispered what they had seen and heard on the road, and they talked about the possible drought in the north.

One of them said: "This matter is very normal. After all, there will be a drought in the north every few years. It's not just that everyone knows about it, is it? Why are there so many discussions?"

This incident made him a little puzzled.

One of his companions said: "There was indeed a drought in previous years, but in previous years, someone could light a thousand wells without any mistakes? No?"

"It is true that there is no such thing, but it may not be true. If it is true, it would be great, but if it is a rumor, it is the same as other legends, and there is not much reference." This is because some people do not believe that Qin Yang can have such a ability.

You know, there will always be some stories that are too exaggerated among the people.

Whether it is the story of the two door gods that has been circulated recently, or the story of Wei Zheng killing the dragon.

Or about the various miraculous stories about the King of Youzhou, which made some rational people laugh and shake their heads just after hearing about it, wondering how such a thing could be true!It can't be said that King Youzhou ordered one or two wells, and then spread the rumors, and it became a thousand wells!

Half of these merchants thought this way, but there were also a few who firmly believed in the miraculous power of King Youzhou.

These people who firmly believe that King Youzhou is miraculous are all people who have been to Youzhou before.

One of them said: "Why can't it be true? The king of Youzhou is amazing. I saw him directly dispel the dark clouds that were about to rain. This was seen by thousands of people at the same time. Even if I was dazzled, could it be Others are also dazzled? Even being able to dispel the dark clouds means that he must have some friendship with Lei Gong and Dian Mu, and he may not even know the Dragon King in the Dragon Palace! Under such circumstances, what's so special about being able to light a well?"

But the person who spoke before firmly believed that all of this was falsehood.

Originally, these people had a good relationship. Although they were not in business together, they used to have occasional dinners together, but because of this rumor, they actually got into an argument, blushing and thick-necked.

In a corner not far away, two literati were sitting. Seeing this scene and hearing their discussion, they became even more speechless.

These two people don't really believe that King Youzhou has such abilities. They came from other places and arrived in the spring of this year, so they have never seen King Youzhou before leaving Chang'an, so naturally they don't believe King Youzhou. All kinds of miracles in the past.

In their opinion, if the king of Youzhou is really miraculous, he shouldn't be reincarnated into a family of merchants.A businessman is humble, if he is really a god, why did he have to be reborn in the family of a businessman?
In this world, there are aristocratic families, scholarly families from humble backgrounds, founding fathers, and even the Li family who directly became the royal family.

If King Youzhou was really a god, wouldn't it be more noble to be reincarnated into one of these people's homes than to be reborn into a merchant's home?

As for the direct rise from an ordinary merchant, it is nothing more than relying on these deceptive tricks.

"Hey, what a bunch of fools!" One of them shook his head in a low voice.

Another person said: "Yes, it's a pity that we didn't come to Chang'an before, otherwise, we would have seen how that person deceived people!"

He actually deceived the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor on the dragon chair!I don't know what kind of trick is used!
Anyway, they don't believe the miraculous stories told by the people of Chang'an at all, they just think it's absurd!

However, they didn't believe in the matter of King Youzhou, but both of them were a little worried about the drought.

"Don't talk about that person, just talk about the rain. It's been more than a month since we left the house and arrived in Chang'an. It's true that there hasn't been a drop of rain. Is this normal in previous years?"

The other person shook his head and said, "It's not normal! It's your first time in Chang'an, so I don't know. I have been to Chang'an a few years ago, and this spring is when everything recovers. Even if it doesn't rain heavily, the light rain It should also be rained a few times, so that the land can be nourished and everything can grow quickly. Now it is almost May, but there is no rain at all. I suspect that the drought may be real, not only in the north, but here in Chang'an. There's going to be a drought."

Fortunately, they heard that the rest of the south has plenty of rain and there is no shortage of water.

If it doesn't rain at the same time in the south and north, that is the worst thing!

Even in this small teahouse, there are so many people talking about King Youzhou and the drought.

In other places, of course, various discussions are indispensable.

When these things got to Li Shimin's ears, it made him even more irritable.

Anxiety had spread throughout the city of Chang'an, and several old ministers entered the palace one after another to ask Li Shimin to remind him of this matter.Don't look at this incident as a trivial matter, but any veteran minister with a good brain will not see that if this incident continues, it may cause big trouble.

"Wuji, what do you think of this matter?" Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wuji were playing chess in the hall, and Li Shimin asked while holding the chess pieces slowly.

What they have been talking about is about the undercurrents and restlessness in Chang'an City.

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. As long as it doesn't rain for a while, this kind of anxiety and panic cannot be eliminated. I think it is better to let Youzhou King enter the capital as soon as possible."

Of course Li Shimin knew that it was the best way for King Youzhou to enter Beijing as soon as possible.But the problem is, from Youzhou to Chang'an, even if it is by water, it will take a certain amount of time, instead of arriving quickly within a few days.

"Far water can't quench near thirst! It's better to stabilize the people first."
