1668: Journey to the West (14)
Qin Feng lay in the bathtub, and his elder brother-in-law rubbed his back with justice and effort behind him. A heavy rain lasted for an hour, and the carnival under the city of Cenzhou also lasted for an hour.
Not only did the refugees from other places come to the county town of Cenzhou, but even the residents in the city rushed out and joined the carnival crowd. Earlier, the two sides were tensely separated by the high city walls and almost fought, but this rain completely resolved the hostility between the two sides.
But no matter how everyone cared, the man on the altar was the object of worship for everyone.
Cenzhou suffered a drought.
The people of Cenzhou cannot survive.
The emperor is here.
The emperor prayed for rain for Cenzhou.
It's really raining in Cenzhou.
Cenzhou is also a remote place in the west, and it is a typical place where you are so poor that you are so poor. It is normal to have a meal and the information is even more closed. Originally, they had a vague concept for the emperor because it was too far away from them. Since Qin Feng started his career, he swept across the six-heterodges and eight deserts and established a huge empire. For them, it seems that it is just a matter of others and has little to do with them.
The only thing that made them feel a little bit good for the emperor was that when this man became their ruler, he cut off corvee service, significantly reduced taxes, and gave them real benefits, they sincerely recited a few wise words from the emperor, and the rest were just like that.
The emperor is still so far away from them.
But this rain made the emperor of the Ming Kingdom extremely clear in their hearts. The son of God's Chosen and the spokesperson of God are their new definition of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom in their hearts.
I'm afraid Qin Feng himself did not expect that because of this rain, he firmly imprinted his extremely tall image in this extreme western region.
Or now this influence is limited to this Cenzhou, to the hearts of those who have seen Qin Feng succeed in seeking rain with their own eyes, but as time goes by word of mouth, this influence will inevitably spread at an astonishing speed.
This miracle has always been the most curious and reverie-minded.
Qin Feng, who was taking a bath comfortably at this time, naturally would not feel this change. He just sighed in his heart that he was indeed lucky.
At first, he just wanted to act a play to deceive the honest people of the Ba family. As long as they obeyed the dispatch and returned to their hometown, their hearts would naturally disperse as soon as they disperse. It was not that simple to gather together, and with the arrival of reinforcements from various groups, things would be firmly controlled in the hands of the court.
But who knew it was really raining.
This is really a rain to relieve a thousand worries!
Thinking of the scene where Wanmin shouted long live in the heavy rain, Qin Feng couldn't help but grin again. Of course, he would not believe that he was the son of God and the spokesperson of God. He could only sigh that he was really lucky and could not stop the door panel.
It took a long time to get dry rain, and this heavy rain fell for an hour. At that time, Qin Feng was a little worried that if he continued like this, the drought in Cenzhou had just been resolved and the flood disaster came again. God gave him face and the rain fell down, and finally turned into a gentle drizzle. At this time, only cow drizzle was flying outside.
The ground has already fallen.
The rain fell, and the exhausted people who were caring and carnival carried their packages and returned to their hometown with joy. Although they had nothing like when they came, they were now full of hope when they returned.
The emperor said that he would build rivers and provide relief, so that the people of Cenzhou would not be hungry. Is there anything doubtful about what the chosen son said? Go home and wait for the government to arrange it.
"Mr. Le, after this incident, do I think the people of Cenzhou should be willing to return to my Ming Dynasty?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's not just a return home? Your Majesty's image has been deeply imprinted into their hearts. From then on, they will become Your Majesty's most loyal subjects." Eunuch Le's tone was filled with joy.
"It's a lucky person!" Qin Feng sighed: "God gives face. It's best to solve this problem, kill two birds with one stone."
"Your Majesty is the son of God, so it is naturally the will of heaven." Eunuch Le said solemnly.
Qin Feng turned his head and looked at Eunuch Le. Seeing that the old guy looked solemn, he didn't seem to be saying flattering words, but instead felt a feeling from the bottom of his heart. He was stunned at first, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Forget it, there is no need to explain it. Eunuch Le is not a person who has never seen the world. Since he also thinks this way, the people of Cenzhou may have a deeper understanding. If this matter is spread, it will be very beneficial to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. At least it will be of great benefit to the integration of the western region into the entire Ming Dynasty.
Since conquering Qin Feng, the faster the economic development of the region will be integrated into the Ming system, and the more difficult the poorer the land. In this way, although it is not elegant, it is effective. After taking the most difficult step, things will be much easier to handle in the future.
Next, it is nothing more than allowing people in these places to have a meal.
The poorer the place, the lower their expectations will be and the easier it will be to be satisfied.
Or this matter will be of great help to the integration of Chu and the land. You might as well let the Eagle Nest promote this matter vigorously. Qin Feng patted his cheek and did this matter. Although it was a bit shameless, it seemed that shamelessness was not that important to him now. Qi State was determined to reform and with the strong foundation of this giant, it was afraid that the entire country would be completely renewed in a few years. If he did not integrate the western land and Chu into the Ming Empire as quickly as possible to form a joint force, he was afraid that the two countries would not be able to fight in the future.
Qin Feng would not think that the Ming Dynasty and Qi had won several battles, but he was arrogant and believed that the people of Qi were just like this. He was a ruthless character who had fought against Qin, Chu and Yue for more than a hundred years and suppressed these three kings to death. Today, Cao Yun can be said to be the most powerful of the Qi kings in all dynasties. He had previously regarded him as a military commander, which was really a big mistake. In the great changes in Qi, Cao Yun showed his flexible wrists, meticulous layout, and ruthless thoughts, which made him shudder.
This is an opponent that needs to be looked up to by oneself! In the future, the competition with Qi State will not allow you to make a little mistake.
After taking a shower, he put on a new dress. Qin Feng walked out of the room with a refreshed look. Although he didn't close his eyes all day and night, he was very energetic when he was happy. Now he only felt that he was very energetic. Outside the door, Yue Kaishan stood respectfully in front of the door, and behind him were several important officials from Cenzhou County.
"What are you all doing?" Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned and asked.
"Your Majesty has shown his miracles. Cenzhou is now calm and there are plans for all disaster relief matters, but now they are just implemented step by step." Yue Kaishan lowered his head and said. "I gathered here to listen to the holy voice again."
Qin Feng was a little dazed. He did not expect that a rain prayer would have such an additional effect. Yue Kaishan was a capable minister. He surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, or a helpless choice. Originally, he respected himself, and he could feel this, but now, he actually heard the fear from Yue Kaishan's tone.
The word awe was fully revealed in Yue Kaishan's short sentences. When he looked at the person behind Yue Kaishan, he looked at his eyes. It was not looking at someone, but seemed to be looking up at a god. Especially the general Ma Lei, who was born in the death camp, had a flash of light like a crazy believer in his eyes at this moment. Qin Feng even believed that he would order him to die at this moment, and he would happily cut off his head.
"Okay, since they are all here, let's discuss things together. A rain has solved the current drought and dilemma. However, in the future, there are indeed many uncertainties and countless things to be done in Cenzhou." Qin Feng waved his hand and said.
With the crowds of people, they arrived at the county government's meeting hall. Qin Feng glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Earlier, the governor of Yue County has been committed to building a canal leading to Yong County. Due to various reasons, the court did not approve it. Today, I will give you a positive answer here. This canal is indeed being repaired. Of course, before the repair, there are still many things to do. Yue County Magistrate, you need a detailed plan to convince the officials of the government affairs hall."
"Your Majesty, I will definitely do this. I have already had many plans." Yue Kaishan said excitedly.
Qin Feng waved his hand and stopped Yue Kaishan from preparing for a long speech.
"But the cultivation of the canal is not a one-day success. In my opinion, it will take at least five years for Cenzhou people to truly enjoy the dividends brought by the canal. However, during these five years, Cenzhou will always face the danger of natural disasters like this year. It's so ridiculous. Everyone, will you still have such good luck next time? I don't know."
"While doing big things, we must also start with small things." Qin Feng looked at everyone, "Be prepared to fight disasters and prevent disasters, don't look at the sky and have a meal. At least, when God doesn't give us face, we have prepared enough and can resist it for a longer time, right?"
"Your Majesty has taught me a lesson." Yue Kaishan nodded and said, "I have been in Cenzhou for nearly a year and have seen the problems in Cenzhou, but I have indeed not prepared enough. It is my luck that I am willing to take the blame. This matter has taught me a great lesson. I have also had some ideas about the work I will do next. I can start to implement it after the refugees from all over the country return home."
“Say?”
"Although this rain solved the drought, the well drilling work cannot be stopped. We need to dig more deep wells. Even if we don't use it normally, we must be prepared for any accidents. I also want to ask the Ministry of Industry to support a batch of cement in Cenzhou. I want to build a large number of water storage wells in various places, so that they can be collected when there is rain."
Qin Feng nodded slightly.
