Chapter 82: Giving Soggy Rain
"What? Will it rain again?"
"That's great. It has indeed not rained in the city for a long time. The crops are dry. If this continues, the yield will be reduced!"
"If it does rain, it will be a timely rain!"
"That's right, I have to thank you young master. It was him who communicated with the immortal master and secured this timely rain for Xianyang!"
"yes……!"
As soon as the ministers heard that it was going to rain, they all immediately became excited.
Since the beginning of summer, the sun has been scorching in the sky, and there has been a little drizzle occasionally. The amount of rain is not even enough to drink a sip, which does not help at all!
Crops in low-lying areas can survive for a few days, but areas without water such as hillsides are in trouble. The crops are so dry that there is no moisture at all!
It's in the growing season now, and it will be completely ruined if it doesn't rain!
"Can it rain just from a few scattered clouds in the sky?"
Cheng Qian sneered in his heart.
He has learned to observe the stars from his master since he was a child. How can he know whether it will rain or not?
This kid is going to lose today!
However, before his smile disappeared, a thunder resounded through the sky, "Crack!"
The smile froze instantly.
It actually thundered?
Wouldn't even God help this kid?
"Is it thundering? Is it really thundering?"
The ministers hurriedly ran outside the palace and raised their heads to check the weather.
Sure enough, dark clouds drifted towards Xianyang City at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, the sky became very gloomy!
"It's really going to rain, great!"
All the ministers were extremely happy.
"The young master is indeed the disciple of the gods. If you say it rains, it will rain!"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Whether the young master is the disciple of the gods depends on whether he can attract thunder!"
Li Si pulled a face and said disdainfully.
"Yes, Xianyang has been in drought for a long time, and it's time for rain!"
Feng Jie also didn't believe that the rain had something to do with that boy.
"Just lift it up!"
In this regard, Xiao Zhengtai is full of confidence.
Thunder and lightning are produced by the collision of two clouds with positive and negative charges, and are transmitted to the earth through a medium, which must be the highest object.
There were no very tall buildings in this era, so the fine iron red-tasseled gun he ordered placed on the roof was undoubtedly the best choice for media!
If he doesn't chop the gun, even if he learns English in the next few years, it will be in vain!
"Crack!"
A thunder sounded in the distance.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Qian's confidence came back, and he said jokingly: "Your Majesty, there have been two thunders, and they have not been led to Xianyang. I think the young master communicated with the master in the wrong place, right? Haha!"
"Why are you so anxious? Even if Thunder and Lightning are flying, they still have to fly for a while!"
Everyone was holding open the door of Qilin Hall, staring eagerly at the changes in the weather outside. Only the young lady was still sitting on the chair, with her legs crossed, eating snacks with confidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt fell steadily on Hongying Gun.
"Crack!"
"Wow..."
In an instant, the electric light traveled along the red tassel gun to the iron chain, burning the tied scarecrow into ashes from top to bottom.
"Come, come, the young master has indeed attracted thunder and lightning!"
"Cheng Qian was on fire, and lightning instantly burned Cheng Qian to ashes!"
"The power of thunder and lightning is indeed great. If it hits a person, it will probably turn into ashes!"
…
The sight in front of them shocked everyone.
We all know that thunder and lightning are powerful, but we didn't expect that it could turn a scarecrow into pieces in the blink of an eye!
Cheng Qian's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground!
This kid really attracted thunder and lightning.
According to the previous agreement, his official position can no longer be kept!
Then he turned his attention to Li Si, but the old guy didn't even look at him, so he couldn't say anything!
If we reveal everything now, we will only end up in trouble, and life in the future will not be easy!
Now we can only admit that this is a mistake. In the future, we can use this as an excuse to get some benefits from this old guy if we can't protect everything!
Forget it, who allowed me to be so obsessed with it that I teamed up with this old guy!
The key point is, who would have thought that this kid is actually the apprentice of a god and can also draw thunder? How weird!
"Wow..."
After a few thunders, it rained heavily.
Damn it, even God is helping him, can he still win this round?
"It's raining, it's raining, it's raining from the sky!"
"This rain is worth as much as gold, God bless me, Great Qin!"
"It hasn't rained much since the beginning of summer in Xianyang. Now that it's raining, food will be saved!"
"Thanks to the young master, it was the young master who negotiated with the gods that this rain came to Xianyang. Otherwise, there would be no telling where it would rain!"
"Yes, the young master has benefited the people again!"
…
Except for Li Si and others who had a sad face in the hall, the other ministers cheered and Ying Zheng also showed a smile.
Rain not only allows crops to grow, but also eliminates pests and diseases.
If it doesn't rain again, locust eggs will multiply rapidly, which may cause a locust plague!
This heavy rain destroyed many locust eggs, and the locust plague will not happen!
"Cheng Qian, what else do you have to say now?"
The ministers returned to their seats, and with the sound of rain falling outside the house, Zhang Han laughed mockingly.
"I don't know if this rain is a coincidence, but Ziweixing is indeed covered in dust. Your Majesty, you still have to be careful!"
Even though the bet has been lost, Cheng Qian is still stubborn and insists on the matter of Ziweixing.
"Pfft..."
"Taishi Linghui observed the stars at night. Since he saw the strange phenomenon, he didn't know how to solve it?"
The young lady on the side suddenly laughed.
"As the Taishi Ling, I am in charge of the sky, celestial calendar, and ritual taboos. I am not responsible for investigating the trends in various places!"
Anyway, this Taishi Ling can't do it, and he won't take the blame for his incompetence before leaving.
As a Taishi Ling, he can usually read the stars and predict bad luck, which is pretty good. Do you really expect him to be able to do calculations?
"Haha! You don't know, I know!"
Little Shota had a slightly contented expression and walked around in front of him with her short legs.
"What?"
Cheng Qian suddenly raised his head and almost laughed in shock.
Is this guy here to be funny?
Ziweixing Mengchen's theory was just an excuse for him and Li Si to team up to impeach this boy. There was no such thing at all, and this boy actually said that he knew the reason?
Feng Jie and others in the hall were also shocked.
Is it possible that instead of impeaching this kid, let him show off?
Li Si was calm and composed.
This thing came out of nowhere. Even if this kid can escape this disaster, it is impossible to find the person who affects the fate of the country of Qin!
"Feiyu, are you telling the truth?"
Ying Zheng asked with a serious look on his face.
"When did my son deceive his father...?"
In the silent hall, except for the sound of rain outside, everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the second half of the little shot's sweet voice.
"Just now Tai Shi Ling also said that the dust of Ziweixing will affect the fate of our country, the Qin Dynasty. As the prince of the Qin Dynasty, my son must share the worries and solve the problems for his father!"
