Regarding Concubine Yun's matter, the father obviously found out something, but he didn't blame him, and even tampered with Concubine Yun's matter.

He didn't even confer a concubine to the third child, let alone the fifth brother, the two of them have always been together, and the fifth brother didn't even go to the Yamen very often, and he knew that the father would not give him that position, The rest of the old seventh mother and concubine were all grounded for life, and the old seven also married a Beiliang princess as the main concubine. With Beiliang's ambitions for Daxing, I knew that the father would not let the old seven sit in that position. Old Ba, he married a good concubine, but it's rare that Lao Ba doesn't care about that position.

Therefore, the concubine probably also saw this, and asked Hongmei to cooperate with him in such a play of begging for rain.

He is more willing to use that magical power to help these suffering people than to use that magical power to kill people.

So, he went up to the altar calmly, and when the time Hongmei said came, he began to recite the sacrificial speech, and Ye Mofeng stood beside him in a protective posture, anyway, he positioned himself as a scapegoat , it was the sixth brother's credit for success, and it was all his fault for failure.

However, as soon as noon came, following Ye Hanyu's voice, a wind blew up in the originally clear sky, and the wind blew the two people's robes rattling, and all the people below looked up at the sky, their faces full of excitement color.

Immediately afterwards, the sun in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the entire Anyang County was suddenly darkened.

Ye Mofeng was overjoyed, and quickly took a big step back. She didn't expect the sixth sibling to be so powerful. She said that if she asked for rain at noon on the first day of August, she would definitely be able to ask for heavy rain, and the rain really came!

Following the last word from Ye Hanyu's mouth, there was a blast of thunder in the sky, and then big raindrops fell, "It's raining, it's really raining! God's grace, God's grace, we are finally saved."

"God is merciful, the emperor bless you~"

The heavy rain was falling, but the people were not afraid of being drenched by the rain at all. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to God, kowtowed to the two princes, and then drank the rainwater with their hands, and even opened their mouths wide. , directly raised his head and took it with his mouth.

In the room where Hongmei Qingzhu was resting in the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, Hongmei quickly packed her bags: "Master, do you really want to leave now? It's raining heavily now, the road must not be safe~"

Gu Wanning, dressed in men's attire, waved her hand nonchalantly, "Of course I have to go back. This trip is a bit long, and I don't worry about the two children. You two must not show your mouth in front of the prince."

Hongmei nodded, but she always felt that the prince might have discovered something, but there are many things in the past few days, and he might not be able to react...

At this time, Chunlan, who was also dressed in men's clothing, came in, "Master, the carriage is ready."

Gu Wanning carried her own burden on her back, picked up the oil-paper umbrella placed at the door, and followed Chunlan into the rain and fog.

The two Hongmeis were going to deliver them, but she stopped her: "Protect the prince, I will wait for you to come back in the capital."

In the heavy rain, the guards in coir raincoats drove the carriage all the way north.

The two brothers, who were drenched all over their heads and faces, ran lightly into the lobby of the county government office, "I don't know if it's raining in other parts of Zhongzhou, so let's send someone to check." In fact, as long as there is rain in most areas, this If the rain lasts for a little longer, the drought will be greatly alleviated.

Ye Hanyu, who had calmed down a little, always felt that there was something wrong with the heavy rain today. The princess is in the capital, and her ring is really so powerful. Can it still make it rain in Zhongzhou?
Moreover, in case of a mistake or a slight error in time, this rain-seeking will fail.

Also, if she had made such a plan, she could have asked him to pray for rain as soon as he arrived in Zhongzhou, but she obviously waited for several days, what was she waiting for?
It seems to be waiting for someone to come!
Those common people came rushing to catch insects to exchange food and water, but they are also the best sounding boards. I believe it will not take long for some news to spread from Zhongzhou.

Coupled with the red plums and green bamboos who had always felt that something was wrong, Ye Hanyu slapped the table and lifted his legs and headed towards the resting place of the two maidservants in the backyard.

Hongmei, who had just sent her away, was startled when she heard the rapid knock on the door, and then hurriedly opened the door, "My lord, why are you here? It's raining so hard, why didn't you take an umbrella?"

Ye Hanyu didn't speak, but went straight into the room where the two of them were resting. Unfortunately, there were only two girls in the room, not the person he imagined at all.

Then, he left the room without saying a word.

After he left, the two daughters heaved a long sigh of relief. No wonder the master insisted on leaving immediately. He must have thought that the prince would have doubts. Fortunately, the master has always been calculating.

It rained heavily for three full days, and the sent guards also came back to report that the rain covered a wide area, and almost all of Zhongzhou was taken care of. Moreover, all the food they brought along from the capital was also distributed. A lot of grain was bought from other places and shipped to all parts of Zhongzhou. Therefore, the price of rice in all parts of Zhongzhou dropped in just a few days.

Locusts are afraid of water. After a heavy rain, the number of locusts dropped sharply, but the government still posted a notice that the locusts could be exchanged for food.

As a result, the people in Anyang County, whose number had increased by an unknown number of times, continued to carry a cloth bag to the countryside to catch locusts, and soon the locusts disappeared in Anyang.

After the heavy rain, Ye Hanyu was afraid of a major epidemic, so Ye Hanyu always sent people to monitor the news from the surrounding counties. At night, the guards came to report and Xu Boqing asked to see him.

Xu Boqing is currently working in the Ministry of Industry. This time when Ye Hanyu came to Zhongzhou to provide disaster relief, the emperor sent some officials to follow, and Xu Boqing happened to be assigned here.

Ye Hanyu asked someone to invite him in.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

"No need to be too polite, just sit down, is there something to do here today?"

"It's true that the officer has something to do."

As he spoke, Xu Boqing took out a map.

"The official has studied the climate of Zhongzhou over the years, and found that every few years there will be a drought or flood in Zhongzhou, and the silver taels allocated by the court every time for disaster relief are as high as two or three million taels. In this way, the population of Zhongzhou will also undergo a large and sharp drop.

A few days ago, it rained heavily in Anyang for three consecutive days, and there was water accumulation on the ground. Xiaguan thought, can we build a few ditches to store water when there is a lot of rain, and use it for irrigation when there is little rain? Even, the distance from Anyang to the Yellow River is only more than 300 miles. If the water from the Yellow River is diverted into Anyang, if the canals are well repaired, even the nearby counties and villages can benefit. "

As he said that, he picked up the map and drew on it, "If the prince thinks the project will take a lot of money and waste money, we can do it in Anyang first.
