41. The process of begging for rain is like playing an RPG
"This is the law of nature. The growth of all things has its own laws. Where there is growth, there will be death. When there is prosperity, there will be decline. This is a process of reincarnation. If you want to change this with one hand,
Everything will only bring greater disaster."
Originally, Li Shushi had been prepared for a long battle, but to his surprise and expectation, Qinglong rejected his request very simply - being rejected was naturally expected, but
Being so straightforward and then giving Li Shushi a closed-door thank you and ignoring the guests made him feel somewhat unexpected.
Even if he went to the Yellow Dragon Girl, all he would get was an awkward smile of helplessness.
As for the other two girls and one who should have turned into a "girl", they were smiling happily on the side with a clear look. Obviously, the treatment Li Shushi received was not at all beyond their previous expectations.
It's really frustrating.
The frustrated Li Shushi rode his horse and walked in the fields. Of course, the sight before him could not make people connect this land with fields. In fact, the land that had become a paradise for locusts was even bare with barnyard grass.
There was no grass left at all - even the creatures that could be called Xiaoqiang were swallowed up. The fighting power of these locusts was indeed explosive. And this impact only added to Li Shushi's depression.
This reminded him of the past when he was rejected by the Sima family in Wen County.
However, such thoughts did not make him feel decadent. After all, the family that had rejected him at the time had now become his subordinates. Therefore, even if he was a superior holy beast, Li Shushi did not believe that the other party really had no weaknesses.
.
Of course, leaving aside how to retaliate against the other party, how to alleviate the immediate disaster is the top priority.
Unfortunately, Li Shushi could provide very little help in this regard.
Although he can ask people to collect a group of ducks and release them to this land, after all, the locusts will always fly away, and it is really impossible to board them for a few months. When the north wind blows south, let Sister Xuanwu blow a few more breaths. Secondly,
Naturally, a similar situation will not happen again in 2018, but all of this is either far from enough to solve the current problem, or it is only a drop in the bucket.
Of course, he can also allocate grain from Bingzhou and Lianghe to go south. However, Huang Zhong has also been making constant moves in Shuozhou recently. Li Shushi also needs to prepare enough grain and grass, on the one hand, to support Huang Zhong, and on the other hand, to guard against those who may take the opportunity to go south.
The northern barbarians.
In fact, Li Shushi had already advanced some food and grass for the troops going south and the people. He hoped to achieve self-sufficiency through a year of hard work. But he did not expect to encounter such a huge disaster. This also made Bingzhou, which was ill-prepared, struggle to ensure food.
There is quite a dilemma between safety and rescuing people.
Who could prevent him from being as ruthless as a certain black-skinned dwarf in the history of another plane? He followed Cheng Hitili's suggestion and only made a large amount of human flesh and dry food. In this way, he solved the wealthy population and ensured the success of the war.
Food needs.
This can be regarded as his bottom line as a human being.
"It seems that my husband was rejected by Lord Qinglong..."
It's easy to guess Li Shushi's thoughts. After all, anyone who sees his depressed face will know the outcome of the matter. In fact, even Li Shushi himself knows exactly what is happening on his face now.
.
"Actually, I somewhat expected it, but I didn't expect Master Qinglong to not even give us a chance to be cute."
He forced a smile, although it was a smile uglier than crying, but at least Li Shushi tried hard not to convey his feelings to his family - although for girls with very delicate minds, such efforts are really useless.
What effect.
"Well, Master Qinglong is like this. In fact, he is quite easy to talk to on weekdays, and he also likes children very much."
"Hmm...can you use the excuse of a child to sway Master Qinglong's mind?"
"It's better not to think about this. Although I say I like children very much, my status is different after all. I always behave very rigidly towards such things. My husband, your ideas may even anger Master Qinglong. Then you can
It’s not going to end well.”
"Really...then since this road has been blocked, then it is up to us to pray for rain?"
"Are we here to pray for rain? Is this any different from what my husband thought before?"
"Don't forget the news we got before - during the Battle of Xuanmen Pass, the coalition forces dropped a heavy rain within a radius of dozens of miles in Chenggao in order to summon Master Qinglong. Since the coalition forces can have
If you can achieve this step, can we also imitate it? But it may be a pain for you, Tamago-chan."
However, facing Li Shushi's guilty but hopeful face, Su Xiaoluoli seemed a little...confused?
Li Shushi didn't know how to describe that expression, but he already had enough tolerance in his heart.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work. Is it because I'm trying too hard?"
"Although it is indeed my fault to hit you like this. However, my husband is really powerless to ask for such a willful request. It's not that I can't open an altar like those guys do, it's just that the heavy rain obtained like that is limited in scope.
Secondly, it is a violent storm, which causes a large amount of rain to fall in a short period of time.
Even if the land is so dry, a sudden heavy rain will only turn into runoff that causes floods, and it will not allow the land to absorb enough water to recover. It does not take long after the heavy rain, and the land will become nothing like it is now.
Both."
The general meaning is that if you want to moisturize things, you should not be too stormy. Otherwise, no matter how much you give, there will still be a process of acceptance. As a result, those resources that have not yet been accepted will be wasted. This is still the best situation. If
If this causes floods or even river embankment breaches, the losses will undoubtedly become even greater.
Perhaps this is the ultimate in being a disservice.
Although Li Shushi didn't say anything, the disappointment flashing in his eyes still made the girl in front of him feel a little guilty. But behind Su Xiaololi, the remaining lolita were surprisingly not affected at all.
Or perhaps it was precisely because of Su Xiaololi's answer just now that they all fell into deep thought.
Although he knew that since Su Xiaololi had nothing to do, it was probably God's will, but Li Shushi still felt a little touched. After all, the reason why the girls were so big was because of him, otherwise no matter how dry the weather was,
, in fact, for delicate girls like them, they cannot receive too many images.
"By the way, where have Wenhe and Gong gone now?"
"Jia Wenhe went to the south, and Ju Gonghe went to the east. According to what they said before leaving, this disaster could have been discovered in advance if it had happened in Bingzhou, but we just took over here. And it just happened.
The takeover encountered big trouble in Luoyang again. So they ignored the warnings given to us by the anomalies around us. In order to make up for these mistakes, they planned to take people down to have a look, on the one hand to understand the disaster situation, and on the other hand to strengthen our
control over local areas.”
"Thank you so much for their hard work."
In fact, it is just as they concluded. If this kind of thing happened in Bingzhou, even if it has experienced good weather for many years, local officials would record the strange phenomena that happened around them and report them to their superiors. After all, this era is very important to people.
All kinds of visions are taken very seriously, and officials responsible for divination will use these visions to infer the future. Visions that are considered to symbolize good things will become symbols of the court's merits. Officials who report them will also be rewarded and even promoted.
.
Even some reports that symbolize disasters will mostly be taken seriously by the court, because they mean God's warning to the lower world.
Since it is a warning, it is natural that the emperor as the emperor has not done well enough and should be punished. However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and cannot be easily moved. And for the emperor's authority, the emperor's behavior is naturally correct. In this case, it is not
To find the person who made a mistake, the three princes and even the nine ministers who assisted the emperor in governing would have to apologize and resign. Correspondingly, the court would go through a round of deep or shallow reshuffle.
Of course, whether this vision is good or bad, except for the obvious recruitment such as "Comet Transit", it all depends on Taishi Ling's mouth, so in order to gain a future, many people are very keen on doing this kind of thing.
Formalistic stuff.
However, even if there are not those mentioned above, local chronicles will still record some rare conscriptions, so that when later people see similar situations, they will think of what happened in the past, and then they can prevent possible disasters.
It's just that in Henan, not only many people moved here just after the year, but also local chronicles were seriously damaged due to the war. In addition, the affairs of Luoyang and Sun Ce delayed the best preventive opportunity, so this was the case.
Today’s catastrophe.
This really reminded Li Shushi that when he arrived in a new and unfamiliar area in the future, he obviously couldn't just pay attention to the local powerful and possible resistance forces. If he wanted to stay there permanently, he would have to pay attention to the local customs
Renqing requires a more systematic understanding.
In fact, he did a good job in this regard when he was in Xihe, but as his status improved and he gradually moved away from most specific affairs, he obviously slacked off in this regard.
Sure enough, the sage's saying "I will examine myself three times" is really a wise saying.
Since there is no way to go to heaven, then just be down-to-earth and do the work you can. After all, even if you can really ask for rain, it will only quench your thirst for a while. Some things still have to be done after all.
It is better to take action earlier than to continue to delay. This is not like waiting for the best time to take action in a war.
Just when Li Shushi was about to hug the sweet-smelling lolita to seek comfort for his heart that was hurt by the series of failures just now, he remembered a cute lolita voice that was slightly hesitant but still not detracting from its clear and sweet voice.
Although Loli's voice changed slightly due to nervousness and hesitation, as an "old married couple" who had lived together for many years, Li Shushi could easily recognize Zhen Xiao Loli hiding behind Su Xiao Loli. And this one
Loli was standing there with her face flushed, her head and body almost forming a right angle, and her eyes fixed on her feet.
Although Li Shushi also knows that her pair of jade-like feet are beautiful. And Li Shushi often plays with them, but in this case, always staring at her feet will always remind people of some interesting things.
Of course, Li Shushi himself didn't know that he seemed to have inadvertently exposed something that shouldn't be known to others.
Ahem, okay, let’s not delve into this kind of thing.
"Qing'er, is there anything you want to say to your husband? Don't worry, I won't be angry even if you call me a fool."
"My husband is a big fool. I obviously have something very important to say, but if my husband is interrupted like this, I will not be able to remember it. If the business is delayed, it will all be my fault!"
Although she said this, the fried Zhen Xiaololi also regained her usual confidence and agility.
Hmm. Being able to return to normal means that there is no big problem. It is also true for me, because of my own fault, everyone in the family has become a little nervous. Obviously, this needs to be carefully reviewed.
Of course, the top priority right now is not the issue of review. It is how to coax Little Loli Zhen into doing this somewhat difficult matter.
It is said that until now, Li Shushi has only regarded Zhen Xiaololi's state as being adversely affected by him.
So to a certain extent, it is accurate that he regards himself as a fool.
"My husband, I don't know how much you know about the situation in Henan.
In other words, how much does your husband know about Sili’s special characteristics?"
Zhen Xiaoluoli, who had regained her composure, asked a question that confused Li Shushi. However, although he was confused, his intuition told him that maybe Zhen Xiaoluoli had some method that could solve the predicament at hand.
"Qing'er, just tell me directly. You also know the situation of my family. Even if you try hard to make up for it, I don't have much time to study such secrets and other books on weekdays."
Touching his nose and scratching his head in embarrassment, Li Shushi decided to keep smiling at this time.
"Although all parts of the country have experienced various disasters, no matter whether it was the Western Han Dynasty when Chang'an was the capital or Luoyang, which was later chosen by Emperor Guangwu, there has never been a large-scale drought or flood disaster within a radius. Although Qing'er is not
I know very well what kind of hidden secrets there are, but I think there must be a unique way to avoid these disasters."
Is that so?
Hearing something that was more like a rumor or urban legend than a method, Li Shushi's subconscious reaction was to deny it. After all, this soul once lived in a theoretical atheist country.
However, as soon as I thought about the existence of those cute animals in this world, as well as two cute lolita lovers who love to eat lollipops, I immediately took back the thought I originally planned to refute, and even took this rumor more seriously.
After all, his previous actions were clearly intended to use that kind of supernatural power. Since even he could think of this, then as he had enshrined the two jade stones of the Green Dragon and White Tiger for hundreds of years, he could also use the jade and the two sacred beasts.
The Han Dynasty, which had limited communication, might have some secret method that could ensure that the environment in the Gyeonggi region could support such a large population.
If you think about it further, it seems so incredible that Li Shu achieved Bingzhou today.
"I really want to thank you this time, my dear Qing'er. Even if it turns out to be of no help in solving this matter, I still want to thank you. After all, you are planning to share my worries. Just thinking of this makes me feel very
of happiness."
"No, Qing'er feels ashamed that she can only give her husband such a small help, and she doesn't know if this help can really help her husband. If her husband praises Qing'er for this, Qing'er will feel it.
Proud."
"It doesn't matter if you are a little proud, because my Qing'er is so outstanding~"
"My lord husband~"
Although Su Xiaololi around him did not have any bad emotions because of the praise Zhen Xiaololi received, Li Shushi, as an old couple, could still feel that if Su Xiaololi had two fox ears on her head and a fox behind her,
The tail must be drooping down listlessly, just like its owner's mood at this time.
"I don't know everything, I just know what I know."
Sure enough, Su Xiaololi met Li Shushi's attentive gaze and said this mantra that she had developed since her trip to the Western Regions.
"Okay, although I don't have much clue, this is indeed a direction that can be moved forward. It is much better than flying around like a headless fly. It is precisely because of this that the locust plague in the Central Plains has to suspend the war, so that
We can have a relatively free time to solve the current problem. So let us return to Jinyang to see if there are relevant records in the books borrowed from Dongguan. In addition, those old masters also have some good inquiries.
Object."
"I can't help you here anyway."
Only in the last sentence did Li Shushi reveal his true purpose of returning to Jinyang. However, the girls present were very smart, so they all ignored his last sentence. Instead, as Li Shushi cheered up, they also began to
They discussed matters related to going to Jinyang State Library to search for information, and exchanged their experiences with each other. It seemed that the originally depressing atmosphere had never existed at all.
"in addition……"
At some point, Zhen Xiaololi came close to Li Shushi again.
"I plan to use some of the jewelry and jewelery your husband gave me to exchange for food from other places to help the victims. Although the number may not be large, it cannot be that hundreds of thousands of people suffer while a few of us enjoy it. This
It’s also not a good influence on my husband’s reputation.”
It seems that unconsciously, although she still looks like a skinny little Lolita, Little Lolita Zhen has indeed grown up.
