"Fourth Bro, we're done talking about the north. Now, let's talk about the drought in Huguang and Jiangxi. Do you have any solutions?”
The one who spoke was still the boss. He knew what the old man was thinking, so he could only do it himself.
However, he didn't have much hope for this question.
After all, a drought was not like a cold disaster.
To solve this problem, manpower was basically useless.
Even if they wanted to build a canal to divert the water from the river to irrigate the fields, it would take a long time and require a lot of manpower, resources, and money.
Of course, this was also very difficult.
If it was easy to solve, it wouldn't have remained for thousands of years.
……
"The drought…"
Hearing his boss's words, Zhu Gaojin was a little silent, and his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He could barely solve this kind of problem.
However, if he wanted to solve it once and for all, he could only learn from the methods of the later generations and excavate a large number of rivers to form a network of rivers that extended in all directions.
This way, as long as the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and other major rivers did not dry up, even if there was a drought, it would not affect the planting of crops.
However, there was no machinery in this era. It was indeed too difficult to complete such a large project by manpower.
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, a light cough sounded. Zhu Di lowered his eyes and said jokingly,"In my opinion, if it really doesn't work, Fourth Brother, you can just beg for rain.”
"It's said that this rain was made by the Dragon King. Fourth Brother, you came from the sky, so the Dragon King should at least give you some face!!”
The old man's expression was calm, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.
Obviously, he was just joking.
Hearing this, the boss also interjected happily,"Haha, maybe Fourth Brother and the Dragon King are acquaintances!”
Zhu Gaojin was speechless.
What kind of people were the Zhu family? They were said to be the descendants of the emperor, but they were actually a group of fools.
He thought of the 'God of War' in the official history books, those who liked mature women, those who called themselves great generals, immortal cultivators, little carpenters...
Oh right, there was also one who hung himself on the southeast branch.
Our family has produced 'talents' from generation to generation!
Zhu Gaojin shook his head and laughed."I don't know how to pray for rain, and I don't know the Dragon King either, but-"
"However, I can indeed control the clouds and rain!”
He did not know the Dragon King, but he had killed some dragons and eaten their meat.
With his current strength, it would not be a problem for him to cover a radius of ten kilometers with the Great Cloud and Rain Technique.
A few more times would solve the drought problem.
……
Whoosh!
Zhu Di and Boss couldn't help but gasp, shocked by Zhu Gaojin's words.
Only today did they know that Fourth Brother could actually control the clouds and rain.
Didn't that mean that Fourth Brother was the Dragon King?!
"Fourth Brother, you weren't the Dragon King in your previous life, were you?”Boss's chubby face was filled with curiosity as he stared at Zhu Gaojin.
In the future, if there was a lack of rain, he would let Fourth Sister sneeze.
"Boss, don't mess around!"
Zhu Gaojin rolled his eyes helplessly." I'll go to Huguang and Jiangxi later.”
With his speed, he could fly about 2,000 kilometers in an hour on his sword.
Moreover, Sun Ruowei wasn't around, so it was better to go back early. It was better to go for a ride.
"Wait, there's no hurry!"
As soon as Zhu Gaojin finished speaking, Zhu Di suddenly spoke. While the former and Boss were puzzled, he continued,"
"The day after tomorrow, we'll go to Mount Zhijin to hold a rain praying ceremony. Then, you can go and make rain.”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaojin and Boss instantly understood the old man's intentions.
People these days were basically superstitious, and there were many people who believed in gods and Buddhas.
Zhu Di wanted to hold a ceremony to pray for rain to create a sense of mystery, so as to maintain and increase the orthodoxy of the Zhu family's rule.
And deepen the support and belonging of the people to the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say, playing strategy (...) Her heart was indeed dirty.
Boss also agreed with Zhu Di's idea. After all, it was not a bad thing. It was more conducive to stabilizing the dynasty's rule.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaojin raised a key question.""What if it rains in Huguang and Jiangxi before the rain prayer?”
Zhu Di was speechless.
Boss was speechless.
The two of them were stunned. Yes, what if it rained in Huguang before praying for rain?？
"We'll release the news of praying for rain later. If it really rains ahead of schedule, it means that the heavens have sensed it and are moved by the kindness and sincerity of us father and son!”
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di's calm voice sounded, giving off a sense of confidence that everything was under control.
Once again, it showed what it meant to say,'The older the ginger, the spicier.'
"Father, you're still the best!"
The boss praised sincerely and was full of admiration. He had really learned today. An old man was still an old man.
His brain worked really fast.
"Hehe, I'm your father. How can I not be powerful?”
Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little smug after being complimented by his boss. This was a rare thing.
However, when he looked at Zhu Gaojin, he found that the latter's expression was still the same, which immediately made him feel uncomfortable.
Seeing his displeasure, Zhu Gaojin felt a little helpless and could only smile.""As expected of our father. His resourcefulness and methods are the best in the world.”
Zhu Di was speechless.
These words were nice to hear, but they felt a little perfunctory.
However, forget it. It was rare to be praised by Fourth Brother. Regardless of whether it was perfunctory or not, he was still very happy.
Zhu Di hypnotized himself as he shouted outside,""Little snot, get someone to send some food over. The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are eating here.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Footsteps sounded from outside, and the Zhu Clan father and son trio continued to chat in the hall.
Different from the previous dullness, the disasters in the north and south had their own countermeasures, and the atmosphere became cheerful.
"Old man, have you been tired recently? I heard that you look for the new princess of Korea every night?”
"Hey, fourth brother, aren't you looking down on our father? With our father's physique, we might be able to have a younger brother or sister tomorrow!”
"You two little brats, how dare your father play around!”
