Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After Chu Mo and his party returned to Chang'an, they began to fully publicize the migration and set up a migration registration point at each city gate.

The Duke of Wei came forward and spent a lot of money to vigorously publicize this matter in various cities in the Tang Dynasty.

Although Chu Mo's campaign was huge and everyone knew about it, as soon as the people heard that he was going to Lingnan, few people cared about it except those who really couldn't survive.

When Li Shimin saw Chu Mo making such a big noise, he was worried at first, fearing that the other party would take too many people away, which would be detrimental to the management and production of each city.

But when I heard the following report, saying that the money spent by the other party was not even [-]% effective, I laughed out loud.

The major aristocratic families also received the news, and when they knew that Chu Mo was doing something thankless, they also felt that Chu Mo had made a mistake this time.

While everyone in Chang'an City was watching Chu Mo's joke, only Chu Xin knew Chu Mo's plan.

While everyone's attention was attracted to Chu Mo, she had already disappeared overnight with all her belongings and people.

By the time Li Shimin got the news and wanted to look for him, the other party had long since disappeared.

Just when everyone was talking about Chu Mo's migration, Buddhism suddenly jumped out and announced to the world:

The Buddhist Zen Master Hui Jue suddenly had an epiphany while meditating and obtained the Mahaprajna Sutra, which is the true biography of Namo Sakyamuni Buddha.

According to legend, this sutra can save the souls of the dead, enlighten the world, and lead people to a blissful rebirth.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly shocked the entire city of Chang'an, and the limelight directly overshadowed the great migration that Chu Mo had spent huge amounts of manpower and material resources to promote.

Buddhism also took advantage of this opportunity. All temples held Dharma meetings to promote Buddhism and recruit followers. The momentum was huge and unprecedented.

When Chu Mo heard the report from his subordinates that all the people in the city went to the temple to donate money for incense, he instantly regretted that he had offered a low price.

This group of bald donkeys not only strengthened the reputation of Buddhism through a copy of the Mahaprajna Sutra, but it is estimated that it will not take long to earn back the cost of buying the book.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo rolled his eyes and ordered his men to spread the news of the frost disaster.

Although it had been spread once before, the effect was not very obvious. After all, it was just autumn at that time and the weather had not really cooled down yet. It was natural that the people did not believe it.

But this time, if we can use the momentum of Buddhism to oppose them and attract the attention of the people, it might be able to have some effect.

Sure enough, Chu Mo's guess was correct. Just when Buddhism was preaching Buddhism, his people jumped out and said that a natural disaster was coming.

It immediately attracted a large number of people's attention.

However, these attractions are not a good thing, and those guys who were sent out by Chu Mo to sing against the people in public instantly became a thorn in everyone's side. People found them out and either sent them to the officials for investigation or to the temple. Those monks handle it.

After some torture, some people who could not bear the punishment had no choice but to reveal Chu Mo, the mastermind behind it.

After hearing that the rumor was spread by Chu Mo, the officials and monks were immediately paralyzed.

Who doesn't know that Chu Mo is a hedgehog?

The reason why people in the government didn't want to mess with him was because even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said it himself, he was a piece of meat.

Even the Emperor and His Majesty are helpless, what do you think of these petty officials?

When Hui Jue heard that Chu Mo was contradicting her, she immediately wanted to knock him to death with a Zen staff.

But when he thought about buying his "Maharaprajna Sutra" from the other party, the other party might have some back-up plans, and he also had a powerful woman in his family who he couldn't afford to offend.

In the end, the two parties made a unified decision, which was to beat up those who spread the rumors, fined them some silver, and drove them out of Chang'an City.

As for Chu Mo, the mastermind behind the scenes, everyone just pretended that he no longer existed.

Chu Mo was still very worried when he heard that his men were arrested and he was confessed.

After all, he had just been released from prison a few days ago. It would be embarrassing if he was imprisoned again.

What he didn't expect was that the other party only punished the spreader and turned a blind eye to him, the person behind the scenes.

Seeing this situation, Chu Mo also understood what they meant.

So they no longer had any scruples, and the people who originally promoted the migration directly added another task, which was to promote the frost disaster.

And those migration registration points are full of warning signs.

When the common people saw Chu Mo's massive publicity about the frost disaster, they began to worry about it.

Most people began to stock up on supplies and repair their homes in order to be prepared.

However, due to time constraints, people were not given much time to prepare.

On the afternoon of the third day, the originally crisp autumn weather suddenly started to blow with a cold wind, and then the sky became overcast with clouds.

In the evening, it started to snow heavily.

It snowed heavily for five days and five nights.

On the sixth day, the heavy snow finally stopped. When people broke open the door of the house covered with heavy snow, they found that the entire world was completely covered with white snow.

Although the snow fell heavily on the second day, Li Shimin felt that something was not good and began to order the imperial troops outside the city to enter the city to clear the snow and treat the people.

However, the snow was too heavy and winter supplies were insufficient. Although the imperial army tried their best to rescue them, many people's houses were still collapsed by the snow.

The lucky ones saw something was wrong early on, fled outside the house, and luckily escaped with their lives.

The unfortunate person's rain boots were directly in his sleep, and his house was collapsed by the snow, and he slept in the ruins.

But those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster had their houses collapsed and had no place to withstand the wind and snow, and most of them froze to death in the snow.

The house did not collapse, and no one froze to death, but because Chu Mo had hoarded firewood before, there was no wood for heating, and it seemed that he would not be able to hold on.

There were cries all over the city of Chang'an, and the people dug out the remains of their loved ones from the white snow, trying to find a place to bury them.

But looking at the entire land, except for the white snow, it is still white snow. It is a foolish dream to find a piece of pure land.

This time, the frost disaster swept through half of the Tang Dynasty. Guandong, Henan, Longyou and Yanbian states were all affected by the frost disaster, and all crops were harvested.

The Turks in the far north were also affected by the frost disaster. Not only were countless cattle, sheep, and horses killed by frostbite, but many herdsmen were also buried in their tents forever in the snowstorm on the first night.

At this time, in the Prince's East Palace, Li Shimin felt regretful as he looked at the memorials about the disaster that the attendants kept handing over.
