Chapter 519: Finding a Suitable Altar for Praying for Rain

As soon as Qian Lianghong arrived at the city gate, his eyes were fixed on Lin Changshou and he never took his eyes off him.

When he saw Lin Changshou taking the lead in leading the people in shouting slogans, he immediately silently memorized these words in his heart.

He can also show it off when he captures the next city.

Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran and pursed his lips to hold back his smile.

He turned around and looked at the crowd of people at the city gate with a serious expression.

"If you sincerely submit to me, I will certainly not treat the people of Wuyi City unfairly."

"Ah ...

"Thank you, King Yongchang. Long live King Yongchang!"

"Long live King Yongchang..."

"..."

Xiao Yunzhan waited until the excited people's shouting became quieter, and then continued,

"The treatment of soldiers recruited from Wuyi City is the same as that from other cities, with no particular priority."

When the people heard this, they cheered excitedly again.

They looked at Xiao Yunzhan expectantly, waiting for him to talk about praying for rain.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at the people's expectant and eager eyes and naturally knew what they wanted most.

"This king knows that Wuyi City is seriously short of water."

"After the Heavenly God Army arrived in Wuyi City today, they immediately set up an altar for praying for rain."

"If there is a sturdy tower in the city, please provide it. This will save the time of building an altar for rain-making, and we can arrange the rain-making ceremony as soon as possible..."

Ever since they used a sturdy pavilion as an altar for praying for rain in Shiquan City, they planned to find higher pavilions for praying for rain in future cities. This would save time and manpower, and most importantly, it was sturdy.

Xiao Yunzhan's words seemed to give the depressed people a shot in the arm.

The people widened their eyes in excitement, their dry lips trembled, and they were extremely anxious.

They racked their brains to think where in the city the tallest pavilion for him was.

The people asked anxiously in a low voice,

"Hiss, I remember there was a pavilion in the prefectural government office. I saw it before when I went in to deliver flowers and plants..."

"No, that won't work. It's not high enough. I saw it when I delivered firewood to the prefectural government office. It was probably at most ten feet high."

"Hey, there is a pavilion in the mansion of the Tongzhi Lord, which is more than ten feet high..."

"..."

Just as the people were comparing which pavilion was taller.

A shout rang out from the crowd.

"Young one knows!"

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a man in dirty soldier's uniform raising his dark hands and looking at Xiao Yunzhan with bright eyes.

The soldier saw Xiao Yunzhan looking over, licked his cracked lips, and continued,

"My name is Shi Yunlai, and I am a soldier guarding Wuyi City."

Xiao Yunzhan looked at the thin Shi Yunlai, "Shi Yunlai!"

"Yes, it's the younger one!" Shi Yunlai nodded repeatedly and continued,

"The home of a wealthy merchant named Tao in this city has a particularly high pavilion. It is where he keeps dancers to dance for the officials to enjoy."

"There is a circle of slightly lower viewing platforms around the pavilion, from which you can have a panoramic view of the dancers' skirts..."

At this point, Shi Yunlai saw the group of beautiful women behind King Yongchang, and suddenly felt embarrassed to continue talking about what the wealthy businessman Tao had done.

"How high is the pavilion?"

When Xiao Yunzhan heard this, his expression did not change at all and he changed the subject directly.

The imperial merchants in the capital city went even further in doing this kind of thing.

The dancers of the wealthy merchant Tao in Wuyi City have skirts to wear, but the dancers of the wealthy merchant Huang Shang may not have that.

These wealthy businessmen would do anything to please and bribe officials.

Emperor Wu of Liang was not unaware of the affairs between the wealthy businessmen and corrupt officials, yet he turned a blind eye.

He naturally knew that it was impossible for all officials in the world to be not corrupt.

Therefore, he pretended not to see and did not participate in the extravagant life of some officials in the capital.

This was a matter that Emperor Wu of Liang should have taken care of. If he had said too much at that time, he would have overstepped his authority.

Shi Yunlai licked his lips and said, "I've seen the smaller pavilion. It's about 6 meters high."

“Standing at the bottom, you can hardly see the people above.”

This was also done by the wealthy businessmen to prevent the dancers from being seen by lowly people and spoiling the officials' interest.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded.

"You lead the way, I will go and take a look."

"All of you, please stand up and stop kneeling."

Xiao Yunzhan glanced at the kneeling people and raised his hand towards them.

"Xie Yongchang Wang..."

The people kowtowed and knelt in thanks.

The people of Wuyi City became even more excited when they heard that the first thing Prince Yongchang did when he entered Wuyi City was not to rest but to go to see the pavilion that could be used as an altar for praying for rain.

This is a good emperor who is dedicated to the people.

They sincerely hope that King Yongchang will ascend the throne as soon as possible.

"Yes!" Shi Yunlai's eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately stood up with trembling legs and limped towards the city gate.

Xiao Yunzhan turned his head and glanced at Qian Lianghong.

Qian Lianghong immediately rode forward and picked up the light Shi Yunlai.
