He Shen strode forward, and after a while, he had reached the mountainside.
At this moment, a large number of people are already close to Heshen...
The dry and hard ground in Shaanxi, especially in Taiyuan, has already drunk enough rain in this heavy rain that lasted less than an hour.
The muddy areas that only appear when there is enough rain are slowly beginning to appear!
Looking at the countless people crawling in the rain and mud, He Shen felt filled with emotion!
"…………"
What these simple people who make a living by farming often think, think, and ask for is to have enough food to eat, good clothes to wear, good weather, and happiness for the whole family...
From ancient times to the present, in China's five thousand years of history, various dynasties have been constantly replaced, and history has been constantly reincarnated...
The reasons for the demise of many dynasties are amazing coincidences, just like old things happening again, over and over again, in a continuous cycle...
In history, the main reasons for the demise and replacement of many powerful dynasties that existed for hundreds of years were because of the contradiction between the upper and lower classes...
The most famous one is the conflict between the peasant class and the ruling class due to land annexation. This is the main reason for the eventual demise of many dynasties...
"………………"
The people of the world are already under great pressure and living in difficulty due to exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Now, coupled with the impact of land annexation, their last way of survival has been deprived...
Under the pressure of death if you rebel, and death if you don't rebel, some bolder people were driven to organize rebellions, such as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. In fact, this was the reason...
These heroes in troubled times want to overthrow the old dynasty, establish a new dynasty, and return a new empire to the world...
Although these heroes raised armies with a purpose and were not entirely for the sake of the people, they still had a love for the people in their hearts...
This is the reason why not long after a new dynasty is established, and after decades of cultivation and rest, it immediately ushered in a prosperous age...
In the era of the feudal dynasty, if the emperor could sympathize with the people, the people's lives would be easier. If the emperor did not know how to sympathize with the people, the people's lives would become worse.
This has always been a shortcoming of the feudal dynasty. The emperor has too much influence on the people.
Emperors in ancient times, generally from the founding emperor to the emperors within three generations, would be considerate of their country and the people under their rule...
For emperors three generations later, this awareness has become weak because of too long...
After that, many emperors began to become arrogant and licentious, and no longer cared about the lives of the people, causing the people to rebel and dynasties continued to change.
However, those who benefit from any dynasty change are often only a small number of people who were originally ordinary people. They transcended their original class and took a few steps forward...
However, the vast majority of the people not only did not enjoy the benefits of the dynasty change, but instead fell into the cycle of eternal exploitation again..."
"…………"
Let’s get back to the point!
"Old man, please get up!"
He Shen leaned over and lifted the nearest old man in his sixties, who was lying on the ground with gray hair, and lifted him off the ground with both hands...
Because of this move, the khaki muddy water has turned He Shen's black-robed imperial uniform worth a thousand gold into a muddy mess, making it worthless...
After this old man in his sixties with gray hair stood up, emotions such as emotion, love, and fear were intertwined on his face, which was full of traces of time.
After He Shen lifted the old man up with both hands, he continued to help other people. After helping hundreds of people at once, he had no time to help others...
Because there were really too many people present. There were nearly a million people. He Shen had to help them up one by one. He could not finish them all day and night...
"The sacrifice to heaven is over. God has given me an order to destroy the locusts with human power. For the future of our descendants, we must destroy the locusts!!"
He Shen heard this and announced loudly to the people.
………
On top of Mengshan Mountain, in order to let more people hear his words clearly, He Shen has been using his inner strength to shout at the top of his voice...
Nowadays, my mouth is dry and my throat is sore.
After discovering this, He Er quickly came to He Shen with a bowl of water and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
He Shen nodded and didn't say much. He just took the water bowl and drank it in one gulp.
He Shen cannot stay in Mengshan for too long. There is a more important task for him next.
That is to return to Taiyuan City and destroy the hundreds of millions of locusts...
The continuous heavy rain still cannot extinguish the fire-like enthusiasm in the hearts of the people at this moment...
A huge crowd surrounded Heshen's carriage, heading down Mengshan step by step...
This downpour, which has been coming for many years, has been going on for more than half an hour and still shows no sign of stopping...
"………………"
Many dry riverbeds and lakes have been filled with water again, and the earth has regained its original vitality...
The people gathered around the convoy, making the convoy of Imperial Envoy He Shen move slower and slower!
He Shen was already in the eight-horse carriage, changed into clean clothes, and sat comfortably in the carriage...
Through the car window, he could clearly see countless people following the convoy in the rain. He Shen's brows couldn't help but be slightly startled...
Behind Heshen's chariot were four-horse, two-horse, or single-horse carriages of many Taiyuan officials, as well as businessmen, goddesses, magicians, monks, and Taoist priests.
This downpour showed no sign of stopping. He Shen stared at the countless people who were surrounding his car in the rain and walked through the wind and rain, and sighed...
Facing this scene, how could He Shen sit still? He stood up, opened the curtain, and walked out of the eight-horse carriage...
Heshen stepped out of the eight-horse carriage. In the heavy rain, the clean clothes he had just changed were soaked from the inside out again.
Countless people gathered around the motorcade and immediately spotted He Shen stepping out of the carriage...
"Long live the Imperial Envoy!"
Shouting like a mountain roar and a tsunami spontaneously emanated from the mouths of the people all over the mountains and plains as the motorcade moved forward.
What happened to He Shen at this moment was naturally reported to someone who stayed in the car, but the Taiyuan officials, as well as businessmen, goddesses, magicians, monks, and Taoist priests who had been paying attention to He Shen's actions...
The imperial envoy would rather sit in the comfortable carriage than sit in the rain with the poor people. Among the rest, who can be greater than the imperial envoy?
One after another, Taiyuan officials, as well as businessmen, goddesses, magicians, monks, and Taoist priests, abandoned their comfortable carriages and all appeared outside the carriages despite the pouring rain.
They didn't look at the Taiyuan officials, businessmen, goddesses, magicians, monks, and Taoist priests behind them, and didn't bother to care.
This heavy rain swept away all the unstable factors in Taiyuan Prefecture...
On Heshen's side, after entering and descending Mengshan Mountain, he finally entered the eight-horse carriage again.
After He Shen returned to Taiyuan City, nearly one million people from all over Taiyuan finally dispersed.
What happened today, even if ten, twenty, or thirty years have passed, will definitely become the biggest talking point among the people who can personally experience it...
After the miraculous scene of offering sacrifices to heaven, the hearts and minds of millions of people in Taiyuan have been given to Heshen...
After more than an hour, the heavy rain finally stopped...
After the rain stopped, Taiyuan felt as if it had been reborn, exuding beauty everywhere...
The fragrance of earth, mixed with moist water vapor and vitality, fills the entire Taiyuan land.
"…………"
This miraculous day, the first year of Qiankun full of miracles, was forever recorded in history!
This heavy rain not only fell in Taiyuan, but also fell in all parts of Shaanxi at the same time...
A lot of accumulated water in rivers and lakes has been accumulated, and the up and down flow of water sources has fundamentally solved the severe drought that has enveloped Shaanxi for more than several years...
This heavy rain made He Shen a success. In the hearts of the people in Taiyuan and even Shaanxi Province, He Shen has been deified...
In recent years, Taiyuan and Shaanxi, which have never been peaceful, have once again become a sea of joy.
This kind of joy, this kind of excitement, this kind of joy is spreading across the mountains and the land at an alarming speed, and is beginning to spread throughout Shaanxi.
Taiyuan is boiling and Shaanxi is happy. However, after the excitement, there is a solemn feeling because the drought has been resolved and there is still a locust plague in front of us...
"………………"
After successfully praying to the sky for rain, He Shen is undoubtedly the incarnation of the gods in the hearts of the people in Taiyuan, and his words are instructions handed down from heaven...
After taking control of public opinion, religion, mystery, etc., He Shen immediately ordered the people in the area to start culling locusts in the name of the imperial envoy.
The operation to cull the locusts started vigorously.
With the full support of all parties, everything went very smoothly, and there was no commotion or abnormality from beginning to end...
However, in just half a month, with the efforts of millions of people, the locust plague in Taiyuan Prefecture has been brought under control. The originally overwhelming locusts have now become sporadically visible.
Qin merchants from all over Shaanxi, half tempted and half forced by He Shen, have been fully cooperating with Taiyuan Prefecture's actions these days, and have continuously sent a large amount of food, further stabilizing the lives of millions of people in Taiyuan. People's hearts and minds.
Due to timely extermination, other places in Shaanxi were not affected by the locust plague.
With sufficient food, the millions of people in Taiyuan Prefecture can survive this difficult year. When the situation improves next year, life will be much better.
For the people of Taiyuan, the most touching thing, apart from He Shen's success in praying for rain, was that the dignified imperial envoy He Shen, a third-grade official, was actually wearing the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, and he was with the millions of people in Taiyuan Prefecture. People, let’s slay the locusts together! !
