This year, there is a severe drought in the Central Plains, and the red land is thousands of miles away!

Jin State was the hardest hit!

Almost most of Jin's territory has not received a drop of rain in four months!

The contemporary Duke of Jin had to personally lead the immortal descendants of the Jin Kingdom to inspect various places.

Urge the river uncles to spread clouds and rain, and strictly investigate the feudal lords everywhere!

Several Hebos were executed in succession, and more than a dozen feudal lords were killed.

However, the severe drought continues.

Even if the river uncles desperately mobilize the power of the water veins, the flow of the river is still decreasing visibly to the naked eye.

Only the mortals near the river can still rely on the flow of the river to get some moisture from the rain.

Duke Jin naturally knows why?

This is a heavenly punishment!

Three years ago, Emperor Zhou was imprisoned. Under the strict orders of his ancestors in the upper world, he had no choice but to send troops to rescue the emperor.

So humanity is outraged!

Therefore, the punishment was imposed on Jin!

"Alas!" Jin Gong looked at the dried up river in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Although, mortals are never looked down upon by the immortals.

Just a provider of incense.

Just like the sheep raised by ordinary people, they usually produce milk and give birth to babies, and then click when it is time to eat meat.

However, if mortals die too many.

That's not the answer either.

Without mortals, there would be no incense and copper.

He Bo, the mountain god, the land will starve.

The monks will also have no resources!

The most important thing is - if a large number of mortals die in a short period of time, disaster will follow them like a shadow.

It's just a severe drought in the world right now.

At that time, it will be the decline of heaven and man.

"Your Majesty, Baili Xi, the official of the Qin State, led the Qin State fleet, crossed the river, and has arrived at Jiangcheng!" A servant came to Jin Gong and reported.

"Baili Xi?" Jin Gong frowned: "Why is he here?"

"It is said that I was sent as an envoy to the State of Chu on the order of Duke Qin!"

"Chu State?" Jin Gong thought for a while, thinking of the Qi State that had been wandering in the east in the past two years.

He nodded: "Let Jiangcheng treat you well and try to provide all necessary help!"

The Jin State is now unable to protect itself.

Therefore, if Qin wanted Chu to form some anti-Qi alliance.

So Jin State is actually very happy to help!

After all, Qin and Jin are allies now!

"No!" The attendant was about to take the order and leave.

But Jin Gong suddenly thought of something, stopped the attendant, and asked: "Did Baili Xi really say that he was on a mission to Chu?"

"Since we are on a mission to Chu, Qin should go to the Han River!"

"I see that it is a lie to conquer the Kingdom of Chu, and it is true to go to the land of 'bandits'..." Jin Gong reacted immediately.

The attendant raised his head and looked at Duke Jin.

"Let them go!" Duke Jin waved his hand.

This year, there is a severe drought in the Jin State, and the common people have no harvest. The Jin State can only purchase grain from abroad to relieve the disaster.

The only one we can count on is probably the State of Qin.

perhaps……

Duke Jin thought of the Liujun ‘noodles’ he had eaten a few days ago.

The 'bandits' can actually make the coarse grains of ordinary people so fine and delicious.

It can also be sold to outsiders, so maybe the Jin State has to buy grain from the 'bandits'.

All in all, I have to get through this year.

We cannot let mortals starve to death in large numbers.

We can't even let famine happen, because once it happens, mortals will flee.

The strength of the Jin State depends on the number of mortals.

Tens of millions of mortal beings are the foundation of Jin's hegemony.

Duke Jin thought for a while and then warned: "There is no need to inform the ancestral temple about this matter!"

The ancestors of the upper realm are still trapped in the ancestral temple and are not allowed to return to the upper realm.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back, it's that he can't go back.

The connection between heaven and earth has been disturbed by some terrible force that cannot be understood.

Only when the heaven and earth are clear can the ancestors return.

Naturally, Duke Jin did not want his ancestors to know too much.

The ancestors would not want to know too many things about the world.

………………

In Jiangcheng, the Qin fleet slowly left the dock.

Baili Xi stood on the deck, looking at the gradually blurring Jin flag.

"The drought in the Central Plains is unexpectedly severe!"

Beside him stood Zhao Dun, who had left Jiangcheng with him.

Zhao Dun went to visit his son.

Listening to Baili Xi's sigh, he could only say: "God's punishment has no choice but to hold on!"

Bailixi nodded.

This is a fact!

Since King Ping moved eastward, rituals and music collapsed.

God punishes all nations!

Drought, flood, earthquake...

Locust plague, plague...

Almost every few years, it happens in various countries.

This feeling from heaven and man is also part of the catastrophe.

Countless countries perished in disasters.

The once aloof Emperor Zhou was also tortured by these natural disasters and was on the verge of death.

After King Ping, no emperor could develop any magical powers.

The Zongzhou royal family is no different from ordinary people.

This is what the owner of the land must bear.

Accept the country’s unknown fate and inherit the world’s filth!

The princes of other countries are also ordinary.

Duke Zhuang of Zheng went crazy in his later years, and Duke Heng of Qi's later years are unknown.

Qin, Jin, Wei, Guo...

Horrible things happened to the princes in their later years.

Today, the severe drought in Jin seems to imply another tragedy.

The contemporary Duke of Jin may not be peaceful in his later years!

"Why..." Baili Xi raised his head and looked at the sky. He didn't quite understand: "Why does heaven always start with mortals when it comes to punishment?"

This is a question he has never been able to understand.
