Chapter 276 encounter

"No! It's so wrong!" Li Chunfeng whispered and walked towards the riverside, and came to the river bank to observe the water level line. Gu Qing looked at him and tried the water temperature, took up a handful of water and tasted it.

Li Chunfeng looked at the sky again, "Last night, I saw that the astrological signs were wrong. The spring rain has not come yet, the river water has receded a lot, and there is a lot of mud under the water. If the spring rain does not come within half a month, Guanzhong will probably have a severe drought."

"What did you say?" Gu Qing looked at Li Chunfeng.

"Gu Qing, you also noticed that the spring rain has not come yet." Li Chunfeng explained worriedly, "After all things wither in winter, it will recover in spring. The rain in spring is particularly important. In two months, it will be a seed. It seems that the river water has not changed much, but the silt under the river has already surged up. If it doesn't rain, the water level of the river will drop if it doesn't take half a month."

"Don't fool people." Gu Qing looked at Li Chunfeng, "Is there really a drought?"

"I can't tell you, and I have to calculate some time." Li Chunfeng hurriedly left.

Gu Qing looked at the river in confusion, and also picked up a handful of them to taste it. He saw a farmer carrying a hoe and asked, "Brother, what's going on in this season?"

When the farmer saw that Gu Qing was hurriedly bowing, "Mr. Marquis, isn't this season pretty good?"

"Don't be restrained." Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "Brother, how long have you been farming?"

"The old man grew up in the fields and has been farming since he was sensible. If you want to say that the old man farming is still aware of it," the farmer replied.

Gu Qing looked at the fields in his village that had just passed through the soil, "Brother, you have been farming for so long, you should know the solar term, why hasn't this spring rain come yet?"

The farmer put down the hoe on his back, "I'm surprised too, old man? The spring rain comes late, but it seems that there is still no sign of coming this year."

Listening to his words, Gu Qing hurriedly said, "Brother, jump out of the river and take a look and try how the mud in the water is like."

Although he didn't know what Gu Qing was going to do, the farmer jumped into the river all over and tentatively shouted, "There is a lot of mud in the water."

Is there really a severe drought in Guanzhong? Gu Qing returned home worriedly. When he saw Gu Qing coming back, Wu Mei was looking at the roof of her house, "Little Phoenix hasn't been back for a long time."

Gu Qing sat in the courtyard of his home, "Girl, collect more food these days."

"Food?" Wu Mei was puzzled, "There has never been food in my husband's family and in the village."

With a long sigh, Gu Qing whispered, "Save more food, the drought may be coming, so find some people to dig a few more wells."

"Drought?" Wu Mei asked in confusion, "Will there really be a drought for your husband?"

"I don't know." Gu Qing speculated in his mind that there was no large-scale drought in the Zhenguan period in Tang Dynasty. He also hesitated that Li Chunfeng could not calculate that it was as accurate as the meteorological instruments. The drought may not come. Or say, "Beware of it."

Wu Mei nodded and asked the servants at home to make arrangements.

On the second day, Gu Qing came to the river again and watched the water level line go down a lot. He turned over and went all the way upstream. The so-called Eight Waters circumferences on Chang'an. This river is the Weishui River, which comes from Tongguan, Shaanxi and flows upwards. The river water flows very slowly. Going upwards, Gu Qing saw a nearly dry riverbed.

Turn over and get off the horse and observe the black mud on the riverbed. The river water seemed to have just receded.

Several officials also arrived here and were curious when they saw Gu Qing, "Mr. Gu?"

"Why are you here?" Gu Qing looked at these officials and looked familiar.

"We are from the Ministry of Revenue." The official from the visiting office said, "Last night, Master Li Chunfeng talked about the celestial phenomena with His Majesty. Today, let us look at the situation of the river and I don't know what the reason is."

It seems that Li Chunfeng is not sure if there will be a drought.

Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue were worried and hurried back to report.

Gu Qing was staring at the river bed in a daze.

"I dare ask, can this little brother give me some dry food?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Qing looked back and saw a middle-aged guy who looked about thirty years old and was like a long journey in his twilight clothes. He said worriedly: "I didn't bring dry food."

"I haven't eaten for a few days." The other party said again, "I dare to ask if these little brothers can give me some money."

"No!" Gu Qing didn't plan to pay attention to him.

He said again, "This little brother is worried about the river. The spring rain has not come yet, and the river is almost cut off. I believe the little brother is thinking about this."

"Can you see it too?" Gu Qing looked at him.

"It's actually not difficult." He came to Gu Qing and said, "Last year, the snow came heavy, but it went fast. The weather was slow and windy. It was just that the rainy season came a little late. It would definitely rain within three days, and it would last several days, and the plum rain season would arrive early."

Even Li Chunfeng was worried about the drought. The family said that it would rain within three days. He asked in confusion, "What's your name!"

"If I tell the little brother the name, can I give me the next meal?" He replied with a smile. "I heard that His Majesty is going to hold the imperial examination today, so I came here early. The journey was exhausted and had already used up all the money. I drank water for two days to fill my hunger, and I just wanted to eat a bite of food."

"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded and said, "So what if I give you a big meal?"

He smiled and nodded, "Shangguan Yi below."

"Shangguan Yi?" Gu Qing was surprised, "Are you Shangguan Yi?"

The other party looked at Gu Qing strangely, "You know me."

Gu Qing smiled awkwardly, "I know you, you just don't know me."

Shangguan Yi was also smiling awkwardly.

Holding his horse all the way, Gu Qing asked Shangguan Yi, "Have your granddaughter been born?"

"I haven't married yet, where did I get my granddaughter?" Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly, "I will use the auspicious words of this little brother to hold a granddaughter as soon as possible."

Gu Qing nodded, the character Shangguan Yi did not have any significant results in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er was indeed famous. He came all the way to the village and took him to his doorstep.

Shangguan Yi looked at the plaque at Gu Qing's door for a long time and couldn't speak. Pushan County Housing County Housing excitedly ran to the village and saw a huge academy, a sparsely populated village, and a very conspicuous factory in the distance.

"Who is this guy?" Li Zhi looked at Shangguan Yi.

"He is Shangguan Yi, a potential stock I picked up halfway." Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi, "His Royal Highness King Jin hasn't been to the academy for a long time."
