ALL NOVEL Chapter 16: The Stars Hold the Moon
It's raining
A heavy rain not only hit the fields of Yue State, but also hit the court hall of Yue State.
"It's really like what you said, the country of Yue is going to be flooded?"
All civil and military officials were in a state of turmoil, thinking of what Prince Wang Ge said at the succession ceremony a few days ago, that evil dragons bring about disasters and bring disaster to the country and the people.
I thought this was a trick of the brat, but I didn't expect it to be true!
"Oops, my field!" Civil and military officials suddenly reacted.
He is an official in the court, and their family is also a local local tyrant clan, with thousands of acres of land.
This heavy rain will not distinguish between civilians and dignitaries, and the places that should be flooded must also be flooded.
The torrential rain poured down, and the officials at home hurriedly called the servants to inquire about the losses in the fields.
However, the torrential rain was fierce and urgent, and the raindrops hit people's faces like bullets, and there was a strong wind howling, the trees swayed, the branches were bent, and they were about to be broken by the strong wind.
With this level of heavy rain, people can't even stand firmly, and they can't see the road clearly, so how can they travel?
The officials are in a hurry, and Prime Minister Zhang Yan is also feeling anxious:
"What's the matter with Tai Shiling? Didn't it report the recent mild wind and light rain? How could there be such a heavy rain?"
Tai Shiling is an official who handles astronomy, formulates calendars, and compiles history books, and is subordinate to Tai Changqing.
Zhang Yan acted prudently, even though he verbally refuted and criticized Young Master Wang Ge's theory of ghosts and gods, but just to be on the safe side, he still consulted Tai Shiling and asked if there was a catastrophic rainstorm in the past few days.
The reply is: when it comes to the beginning of autumn, the yang harvests and the yin grows, the autumn rain drenches, and gold is everywhere
There will be rain, but the rain should not be heavy, which is good for agricultural production.
Professionals pointed out that Zhang Yan was relieved, and just waited for the past few days to see the embarrassment of the young master Wang Ge.
However, the situation first slapped him in the face.
"Why did the rainstorm suddenly come?"
Zhang Yan's face was gloomy, that is to say, it is inconvenient to go out due to the heavy rain, otherwise he really wanted to find Tai Shiling out, poked the other person's forehead and asked him, is it raining too much?
Of course, Tai Shiling, who was at home at the moment, was also aggrieved and panicked.
He also only calculated the weather according to the solar terms, and he did things according to the calendar of his ancestors. Who knew that something went wrong this time.
In fact, it's not to blame for Tai Shiling's mistakes, the weather is as unpredictable and unpredictable as the woman's face.
Even Wang Ge Lanxing's hometown, with the high technology of weather satellites, sometimes cannot accurately predict weather changes.
It can only be said that the unfathomable power of nature is not something that ordinary people can easily figure out.
But Wang Ge has bright eyes!
"Stone-womb spirit monkeys are spirits of heaven and earth, just like parents doting on their own children. It is easy for me to spy on changes in the weather."
Wang Ge stood in the pavilion, raised his chin slightly, and looked towards the dark sky.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a circle of light appeared in his dark eyes, and a golden light burst out from his pupils:
"Let me announce that after two quarters of an hour, the heavy rain will turn to light rain. You can go out and go to the fields, and let the craftsmen and farmers go to the fields to help the rice and consolidate the soil."
The entourage was ordered to spread the news impatiently.
Wang Ge nodded slightly.
Yan Fei, who had been guarding him all the time, finally couldn't help but speak:
"My lord, how do you know the changes in the sky?"
From the interruption of the succession ceremony to the dissatisfaction of the officials, to the moment when the torrential rain is pouring for rescue and disaster relief, Yan Fei's mood can be said to be ups and downs like a roller coaster.
He marveled at the turn of events and the realization of the young master's prophecy, but he was also very puzzled. Is this something human can do?
It can't really be a dream from ghosts and gods, right?
Wang Ge raised his mouth slightly, closed his eyes and smiled:
"Accumulate good deeds and become virtuous, and the gods are content. As long as you care about the people, God will give you the enlightenment to avoid disasters."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Fei was confused. Do ghosts and gods really exist?
Not knowing why, he could only feel awe in his heart, Yan Fei looked at the profile of his young master, and praised:
"The auspicious person is the family of heaven, the son is a person with profound blessings."
Wang Ge smiled without saying a word.
During the conversation, Wang Ge's weather forecast had already spread. The people had a direction, felt at ease, and geared up for it. When the rain subsided as scheduled, it poured into the fields like a tide.
The officials trapped at home can be considered to be able to go out by car, go to the prime minister's mansion to discuss matters, and receive news from various villages and counties.
"This kind of heavy rain is rare in ten years!"
"What's the situation in the fields? How much rice will be lost if the rice fields are flooded?"
"Young master's words are true, there is a disaster that will ruin the harvest of the Yue Kingdom this year."
"Could it be possible that there are ghosts and gods dreaming of dreams, and evil dragons causing disasters?"
"What did the Grand Historian do? Such a major disaster failed to give early warning. Hmph, I must refer to him!"
All the officials talk to each other, appearing to be chattering.
Finally, it was the prime minister Zhang Yan who appeared, and all the officials stopped their voices and looked at Zhang Yan.
A few days ago, what you said, Mr. Prime Minister, what the young master said were all talking about ghosts and gods, and making lies?
It's good now, how do you think it will end?
Zhang Yan also felt these fiery gazes,
But as an official, can you not have a thick skin?
With a straight face, he changed the focus of the topic, and said in a stern voice:
"There is a flood today, and the harvest may be damaged. Emergency rescue and disaster relief should be the top priority. Stabilizing the harvest should be the top priority. You should perform your duties, issue government orders, mobilize the people, and quickly rescue the disaster. If there is any doubt, you will be severely punished!"
What Zhang Yan said really made Baiguan stop thinking about the ghosts and gods, and the most important thing is to rescue the disaster and grab the food!
The officials came to the prime minister's mansion in a hurry, and left in a hurry after receiving the order.
However, after they took action, they realized that they didn't seem to need to do anything!
"What? The young master has brought people to arrange everything!"
The "Litian" in each village, that is, the rural agricultural officials, replied to the news to inform their superiors that they had organized the disaster relief work in an orderly and comprehensive manner under the command of the son.
This made those high officials who couldn't wait to be stunned.
He left from the Prime Minister's Mansion half an hour ago, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion half an hour later.
Prime Minister Zhang Yan also had mixed feelings after receiving the news from the bottom.
An official with a complex expression asked tentatively:
"Prime Minister, there are already young masters organizing work in the field, so let's"
Zhang Yan was tongue-tied and searched his brains, but couldn't find a suitable word.
Wang Ge has already led people to finish the work, so why do they need bureaucrats?
Thinking of the son Wang Ge's previous actions, combined with his current situation, Prime Minister Zhang Yan reacted.
I have been tricked!
"If you don't investigate for a while, you will be turned into an army." Zhang Yan was in a state of uncertainty.
Looking at the bewildered officials in the hall, Zhang Yan said helplessly:
"Let's arrange everything according to the young master's arrangement. Don't add superfluous things to the snake. The harvest is the most important thing in everything."
When the officials heard the words, although they didn't say anything on the surface, they took orders and left.
In fact, in the bottom of my heart, Zhang Yan has already been sentenced to lose in the first round of the contest between King Xinyue and the prime minister.
"The son is extraordinary, and he should not be taken lightly because of his youth." This is the consensus reached by all the officials.
Although the process is unimaginable, the result is indisputable fact.
Zhang Yan was also depressed.
Next, he spent three days and three nights thinking about how the young master Wang Ge could predict weather changes, not because Zhang Yan figured it out, but because the rain stopped.
The rain stopped, the disaster stopped, and the loss in the field was not too much. The people all saw the practical ability of the young master Wang Ge!
The common people in the fields are still very simple, don't care about ghosts and gods, as long as whoever can lead them to plant the fields well, keep the harvest in drought and flood, and live their lives, they will believe in whoever!
The king of Yue has a successor, and the king of Yue is benevolent!
At this moment, both the Taiwei and Sikong saw what the people wanted, and were surprised by Wang Ge's methods.
Common sense, Wang Ge, a lone monarch with no foundation in the court, would be very difficult to fight against Prime Minister Zhang Yan by himself.
Originally, Taiwei and Sikong thought they needed their own help, but now it seems that Wang Ge can make Zhang Yan suffer a lot by relying on his own means.
The new king of Yue is not a weak and bully person, which makes both Zhao Rui and Han Deng have great expectations for Wang Ge.
Although the two couldn't understand how Wang Ge predicted the rainstorm, after much deliberation, it can only be summarized as:
"It's like God's help!"
And Wang Ge also watched his luck turn from pure purple to vermilion, and he knew that his hard work these days had paid off.
"What the people want, the stars are holding the moon, and the opportunity to succeed to the throne has arrived!"
