Asking the heaven and earth for advice is to do calculations and divination. This is what Xia and Shang were good at, so it is not difficult.
However, there is a saying that it is easier to calculate people than to calculate heaven.
Calculation is controlled by heaven, and spying on heaven's secrets is also killing one's luck.
When he first traveled to this world, Xia Shang made calculations about everything. Although he predicted some dangers, it also laid the foundation for his future life.
Xia Shang has always believed that part of the reason why he is now running counter to his ideal life is because he had peeked too much into the way of heaven and set up many obstacles in his life path.
If it was in the previous life, Xia Shang would never have such suspicion.
But in this world, Zhou Yi's theory has been confirmed time and time again, so Xia Shang had to believe in some seemingly mysterious and elusive conclusions.
After this, Xia and Shang no longer used the Book of Changes for divination.
Today, Xia Shang was thinking again and wanted to test when the next heavy rain would start.
Maybe this calculation will have a certain impact on Xia Shang's future, but the stakes are very important. If it only makes his future more bumpy, in exchange for easing the situation in Xuzhou, Xia Shang naturally doesn't care at any cost.
But Xia Shang still had a bigger worry in his mind. Even if he calculated the time for a heavy rain here, what if it happens in a month or two?
Xia Shang had the ability to spy on God's will, but he had no ability to change God's will.
If the final result is that the rainy period will take a long time, Xia Shang still doesn't know how to deal with the next problem.
Seeing Xia Shang frowning, Xiao Keer smiled and comforted: "It's okay. I have lived in Xuzhou for so long and know the weather conditions in Xuzhou. Such rain and snow will break out soon after winter every year.
And it’s very frequent.”
"Really?" Xia Shang asked seriously. In his opinion, being able to get the judgment of Xuzhou natives made him more confident.
As long as there is another heavy rain within half a month, his plan will succeed.
At this time, the people who went out to inquire had returned, and had already planned the location and route for starting the construction, and asked Xia Shang if he would take action immediately.
Xia and Shang did not
He answered, looking up at the increasingly dazzling sun in the sky, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Everyone is tired after a long day of traveling. Let's rest for a day and start work again early tomorrow morning."
General Lou was a little strange, thinking that it was already a very urgent matter, why did he have to wait now?
But when he saw that Xia Shang seemed to have something on his mind, he didn't ask further questions and passed on Xia Shang's words honestly, so that everyone could do their own thing.
The reason why Xia Shang had to wait was because he wanted to measure the rain period first. In order to improve the accuracy, Xia Shang had to wait until the stars could be seen at night and go to the highest place around.
Xia Shang didn't say anything about his plans, but Xiao Ke'er could see Xia Shang's thoughts, and she knew that the other party must be trying to do something secretly.
It's not that Xiao Ke'er paid special attention to Xia Shang, it's just that she brought more than a hundred servants, who were also members of her Xiao family. She wanted to ensure the safety of these servants and not let them become victims of the court, so for Xia Shang
Xiao Keer was very attentive to every move he made.
Everyone was too tired today. Just after dusk, everyone fell asleep, except for a few officers and soldiers who alternately kept vigil.
At the third watch, Xia Shang got up, exchanged a few words with the officers and soldiers who came over, and went to the hill alone.
Xiao Ke'er didn't sleep at all. When she saw Xia Shang suddenly getting up, all her nerves became tense. When a few officers and soldiers were not paying attention, she also stood up and followed Xia Shang's direction to the top of the hill.
Xiao Ke'er was worried, but she couldn't figure out why Xia Shang was doing up on the hill alone at such a late hour.
She hid behind a big rock and wanted to see what Xia Shang was up to.
Before she saw Xia Shang's shadow, she suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder, which scared her so much that she almost screamed.
Looking back, I found that it was Xia Shang.
It's not a pretty sight to follow someone but get caught doing it.
Xiao Keer was very embarrassed and a little panicked, not knowing what to say.
"Why are you following me in the middle of the night?" Xia Shang's tone was relatively light, but he didn't mean to blame him at all.
This made Xiao Keer relax a lot, and asked in a low voice: "You...how did you find me?"
As long as Xia Shang is on guard, he must find someone a hundred meters away
His movements were so easy, how could it be possible for a little girl to follow him?
But Xia Shang didn't give any explanation. He stared at Xiao Ke'er calmly, as if he was repeating what he just said.
Xiao Keer felt guilty when he saw him, so she said weakly: "I see you are sneaky... I don't know what you are thinking. I have to be responsible for the people I brought. Also, my father once said,
You must be extremely careful when dealing with people from the imperial court. I just want to know what you have been thinking about today."
"I want to calculate when it will rain again." Xia Shang simply replied, then turned around and headed towards the open area of the hill.
The moonlight is very bright today, probably because the sky has cleared after the rain. The night sky is beautiful when viewed from the hills. The stars in the sky seem to be alive, emitting light without hesitation, making the entire night sky sparkle.
Such a star chart indicates that the weather will be good tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will be sunny in the next few days.
Normally, this kind of weather is definitely good, but for the current Xia and Shang people, this is not a good phenomenon.
Xia Shang sat doing his own business under the starlight, looking at the stars and the mountains, with his own plans in mind.
With this look in Xiao Ke'er's eyes, she naturally didn't understand what he was doing, but she already knew Xia Shang's purpose from the previous words, and she felt even more strange in her heart. She muttered to herself, could this man still use the art of calculation?
But isn’t it a bit childish to use calculation techniques to determine the rainy season?
Also, can high-ranking officials in the imperial court do such things? Aren’t fortune tellers just like quacks and sorcerers?
Xiao Keer watched silently on the side, becoming more and more confused. She didn't know what kind of person this Master Xia was in front of her.
Why is he concerned with Xuzhou?
How did he become a high official at such a young age?
Why do you feel that he is different from other court officials?
How rich are you when you hand out tens of thousands in banknotes without even looking at it?
Nowadays, I still watch the stars at night and become very mysterious. Is there any other ability?
Xiao Keer has seen all kinds of men, and she is confident that she can easily see through a man's nature in order to gain an advantage in the mall.
But now when I see this man, he is completely confused, as if he is filled with countless mysteries.
