Drought in the capital!

Especially at this time when spring rains are as precious as oil, there is a severe drought.

Naturally, it is easy to breed a lot of rumors.

For example, this dog emperor has no benevolence, is good at killing ministers, and likes to send people to the frontier for nothing.

Another example is that the Dog Emperor is disrespectful to the heaven, earth, people and gods, and this is how he wants to shake the country of the old Zhu family.

In short, there is a saying that the court is above the court, and there are also rumors among the people. The happiest people are naturally the grain merchants. They are already keenly aware of the fact that grain prices have skyrocketed after this year's autumn harvest.

If you can stock up on a large amount of food at this time, you will definitely make a lot of money in autumn and winter.

Today's businessmen do not expect to sell their land, but in the past four years of the New Deal, these New Dealers have still accumulated a lot of wealth.

This is an excellent opportunity to search for wealth.

The land basically belongs to the farm. Even if a private person wants to sell the land, it must be sold to the farm. Zhang Haogu's farm is where I protect the farmers to the maximum extent, so that they will not even have no food for farming.

However, this is definitely not enough.

There were also some officials in the imperial court who hoped that the Dog Emperor would issue a criminal edict and then seize the opportunity to overthrow the New Deal.

Among the common people, there was a group of ghosts and snake gods from the Jixiang Sect who were deceiving the public with their evil words. On the one hand, they could continue to defraud people of money, and on the other hand, they could in turn threaten the imperial court.

Finally, there are the businessmen and capitalists who hope to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the wealth that the people in the north have finally accumulated.

In the court, it can be said that there is a turbulent undercurrent.

Nowadays, even ordinary people have begun to hoard food. They all have a premonition that there will be a huge drought this year. This year, their food is a big problem.

The price of food in the capital increased a bit as a result.

Regarding the behavior of these businessmen, Zhang Haogu expressed that he was a little speechless.

It's not that they look down on this group of businessmen, but that they don't even know how much grain the imperial court has in reserve. Just because they want to shake up the grain depot is a joke.

However, even so, the combination of these three forces still burst out with amazing energy.

The court, the private sector, and capital work together.

Zhu Youxiao was still under great pressure.

However, Zhu Youxiao was also waiting silently, waiting for the successful installation of his water pump.

During this period, he even took time to go to Miyun Reservoir to see it in person. After clarifying the amount of water stored, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The water stored in this reservoir is enough!

The next step is to use the water pumps on a large scale, mainly to overcome the current threshold and everything else will be easy to handle. However, Zhu Youxiao still put forward his own opinions on the reservoir opening equipment.

Opening the gate to release water still requires manpower. Turning back to create a steam generator, it is very convenient whether it is opening or lowering the gate.

After truly confirming that the problem was not serious, Zhu Youxiao returned to the court.

Home Affairs Office

"Your Majesty, do you want water?" Huang Liji couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty is going to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices?"

Then, Huang Liji quickly said: "That's very good. In the past, Emperor Shenzongxian did the same. He went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices and pray for rain. Now the emperor can just follow my example."

Huang Liji is talking about the twelfth year of Wanli. In the third year, a severe drought occurred in the capital area.

Then, Emperor Wanli walked in chariot and went to Wuying Hall to fast three days before praying for rain.

The day before, he wore green clothes and announced his ancestors in the Fengxian Hall. Officials of Taichang Temple entered the blessing board, the emperor filled in his name, and the doctor of Taichang Temple placed it in the southern suburbs of the sacred treasury for safekeeping. Officials of Taichang Temple put the wine in advance

Sacrifices such as preserved fruits, incense, silk, and cattle were placed on the circle mound, and worship was placed in the center of the altar. In the fourth month of the fifth month, due to the official sacrifice, no one was allowed to go to court.

The emperor put on his green clothes and walked ten miles to the Huangji Gate. A group of civil and military officials also lost their temper and followed the dog emperor on foot to the Temple of Heaven.

On June 12, it suddenly started raining heavily, and it continued for several days.

Although this heavy rain was nearly a month after the emperor's prayer, who the hell dares to say that this heavy rain was not requested by Emperor Wanli?

At this time, the people were happy and all the officials were happy. Emperor Wanli was also very happy.

However, Zhu Youxiao shrugged and said calmly: "I don't plan to go to the Temple of Heaven. Now some people say that I disrespect God, so God will punish me. If this is the case, why do I still pray to God?"

"Fuck!"

Huang Liji was stunned, and Wei Guangwei was also stunned.

The two people looked at each other.

This dog emperor, what on earth is he going to do?

Wouldn't it be great if you just learn from me honestly what kind of emperor I am?

Why, why the hell do you always have to come up with something different.

"I am going to the Yongding River. After three days, I think the Yongding River will definitely burst into water!" Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "All civil and military officials are going, and everyone must watch!"

"Fuck..."

Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei were both dumbfounded. At this moment, they really didn't know what to say.

How do you know that in three days, water will definitely emerge from the Yongding River?

If there is no water, wouldn't you just get slapped in the face?

Huang Liji couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, don't you think about it?"

"No need to think about it, I have made up my mind!" Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "In three days, there is no need to bathe, eat, or wear plain clothes, and go directly to the Yongding River. I want you to witness and witness together, what it means that man can conquer heaven!

"

Zhu Youxiao's will was carried out. This time the team was large in number, with more than 4,000 civil and military officials alone. The team marched towards the Yongding River in a mighty manner.

Zhu Youxiao was still riding in the carriage, and at the same time he continued to publicize that the Yongding River would definitely be filled with water today, so that the people could go to the river to have a good look.

What the common people saw was that countless civil and military officials came to the Yongding River, protected by guards, without heads or tails. Out of curiosity, they also came to this Yongding River.

Now the Yongding River has dried up, and the hot weather is unbearable for many people.

Water, where does the water come from?

People were standing along both sides of the river, looking curiously at the dry Yongding River. Everyone's face was full of curiosity. Will there be water?

Huang Liji couldn't help wiping his sweat.

Where does the water come from on this hot day?

Suddenly, waves of breeze came, and Huang Liji was slightly stunned for a moment. Then, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he heard waves of roaring sounds.

In the distance, the water flow looks like thousands of horses galloping.
