The World of Yellow Sky

He glanced at the water surface of Taiye Pond, and then at the shore, his face became a little serious.

"These days, I've been in Taiping Temple and Tai Hospital. I haven't been to Taiye Pool much, and I haven't paid much attention to the weather."

"Now that Mr. Ming mentions it, it is indeed a bit abnormal. There is something wrong with the water line of the Taiye Pool dropping."

"The possibility of locust plagues and drought occurring at the same time is not small..."

"Now that the country has just been founded, and the famine continues, I'm afraid..."

Yan Zhong's face was serious. Just after the founding of the country, it was not a good omen to encounter drought and locust plague at the same time.

Xu An frowned again.

Since Dong Zhongshu proposed the relationship between heaven and man, all schools of thought were dismissed, and Confucianism was the only one, making Confucianism completely occupy the mainstream.

Since then, once a famine occurs, it will be considered either the emperor's fault or the minister's fault, and someone needs to stand up and bear it. Many Sangongs have to take the blame and resign because of natural disasters.

In the Han Dynasty, superstitious ghosts and gods believed in the induction between heaven and man. If it is not handled properly...

After the famine comes, the ghosts and embroidered clothes messengers will spread rumors everywhere, and the Taiping Dao may lose the hearts of the people.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sangong was replaced frequently, and it was also separated from the natural disasters in successive years.

Therefore, the frequency of changing the positions of the three princes during the Xiandi period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was even as frequent as that of Chongzhen changing cabinet ministers at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

……

In the fifth year of Chuping (194), April [-]th.

There were a few light rains in March, but after entering April, the weather became more and more weird and abnormal. There was not a drop of rain, or even any sign of rain.

Gan Ting.

In the middle of the field, Liang Ping supported his hoe and looked up into the distance.

He picked up the sackcloth on his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking a little worried.

These days, the water flow in the canal has become more and more slender, and all his energy has been spent on watering the crops in the field these days.

It is also fortunate that there is a water conservancy built on Taiping Road before. It seems to be something called a rollover, which can fetch water from the river. Otherwise, the hardship and difficulty of fetching water will increase several times.

The Han court is gone, and all those powerful and powerful families in the past have disappeared.

Since the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, they have obtained arable land and farm tools. The Yellow Turban Army has also repaired roads for them and built many strange water conservancy projects. Those water conservancy projects saved them a lot of effort.

The taxes that need to be paid are much less than in the past, and I can finally have a chance to breathe. Last year, the family finally saved a little money and food.

If I work harder this year, I can save enough money to go to the county town to buy a new suit for my wife.

Thinking of his wife, Liang Ping couldn't help but smile on his face, but the smile was fleeting and finally disappeared on Liang Ping's face.

It has been three years since he was married, but for the past three years, his wife has been suffering and freezing along with him, without even changing into a new suit of clothes.

Even when the government collected taxes the year before last, he had to pawn his wife's dowry to barely pay the taxes, so as not to be punished by the government.

Liang Ping sighed, and put the hoe on his shoulders. The sun gradually set to the west, and it was time to go home. Today's fields have also been irrigated.

In the field, other people have already started packing farm tools.

The wife has already gone home to cook, and the smoke is already rising in the settlement not far away.

Liang Ping carefully walked up to the field ridge from between the crops.

The weather this year is abnormal. There were a few light rains throughout March, and there was not a drop of rain in April. The water level of the stream has dropped significantly, and people in the villages have begun to stock up on drinking water.

There has been no drought in Guanzhong for a long time, but most people have experienced drought, even the young people have heard it from the older generation.

And last year's successive strange incidents also made me worry.

In the first lunar month of last year, the dog eclipsed the moon.

It was clear that the sky was clear, but there was thunder.

I heard from a wandering doctor that there was an inexplicable strong wind continuously during Fufeng.

The most serious thing is that the earth dragon turned over twice last year, the ground shook, and some houses even collapsed. No one was injured because of it, but these things weighed on everyone's hearts like a haze, making everyone speculate disturbed.

It seems that since the arrival of Taipingdao, some bad things have happened in this place from time to time. In the settlement, there have always been some rumors, saying that it was the wrath caused by the Taipingdao's successive battles, and the punishment was sent down by God. Warning.

Liang Ping recalled what happened last year, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy, and he couldn't help feeling a little doubt in his heart.

Although the Taiping Road has entered Guanzhong, there are no heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there is no need to collect corvees.

but……

"clang----"

A bell rang from the settlement, and the faces of all the people who were still working in the fields changed, and they all looked in the direction of the settlement.

If the bell rings in the settlement, it means that there is something important to announce, or there is an emergency.

The last time the bell rang was because Taiping Road was about to hold a founding ceremony in Chang'an.

But this time when the bell rang, everyone had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

Liang Ping hurriedly packed up the farm tools and baggage, and then walked towards the settlement with other farmers.

Walking all the way in a hurry, when we walked outside the houses of the settlement, the square in the center of the settlement was already full of people, and the people in the entire settlement seemed to be gathered together.

The Diannong officer in the village held a loudspeaker made of iron and seemed to be saying something, but it was so far away that he couldn't hear clearly.

Next to the Diannong officer, more than a dozen soldiers wearing yellow scarves and holding spears guarded the surroundings of the high platform, and beside them, there were several soldiers who also wore yellow scarves riding on war horses.

There were cattle in the garrison, but no horses. Liang Ping remembered it clearly.

These knights must have come from other places, and Liang Ping also noticed that on the other side of the square, there were about thirty cavalrymen and several strange-looking carriages.

The carriage seemed to be called a four-wheeled carriage, and Liang Ping had seen such a carriage before on the official road.

Liang Ping followed the flow of people into the central square of the settlement, and finally heard clearly what the Diannong officer was saying.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army who came on horseback came all the way from Chang'an. This time they brought a large number of water tanks and distributed them for free. These water tanks can be used to store clean water.

After exhorting some precautions, the Diannong officer also left the high platform, and a yellow scarf soldier Fu Zhu in Taoist robes then took the loudspeaker from him and boarded the high platform.

His appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention again.

"I am Fu Zhu from Taiping Road in Hu[hù] County. My name is Tang Liang. You must have noticed that the weather has been abnormal in recent days. There has been no rain for many days."

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, Tang Liang's voice fell, and there was a lot of noise in the square.

"Everyone, everyone!"

On the high platform, Tang Liang held up the loudspeaker, raised his voice, and suppressed everyone's discussion.

"The Han Dynasty has been the Dingding of China for more than four hundred years, and it has already been deeply rooted."

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. However, the minions of the sky are still resisting. We have already found traces of Hanba in the Guanzhong area."

"Drought!"

The plaza that had just calmed down became noisy again, and the scene was on the verge of getting out of control...

Chapter 741 Burning Gold Flowing Stone, Cicada Breathing Thunder Dry

There is a man in the south, two or three feet long, with his body uncovered and his eyes on the top, walking like the wind. His name is Ba.The country I saw was severely drought, with thousands of miles of barren land.A dry mother.

Hanba is actually just a legendary spirit monster, in fact there is no such spirit monster at all.

Xu An is now the Taoist master of the Taiping Dao, and he doesn't know any so-called fairy arts or Taoism. There is indeed a so-called "Qi Refining Technique" in the "Taiping Jing", but Xu An has also tried this Qi Refining Technique, and he didn't understand it. I feel something mysterious, but it is similar to the effect of Wu Qin Xi, and it has some benefits for strengthening the body.

The Taihang Mountain has always been a gathering place among the ghosts and ghosts, but Xu An has never encountered it once after staying in the Taihang Mountain for a long time.

There is no magic in this world, nor is there any internal energy.

Lv Bu, Zhang Liao and others are superior in military strength, and they all fight in an upright battle formation, relying on their martial arts acquired through hard training, their physical fitness beyond ordinary people, and their long-term experience.

They will also be injured and exhausted, so when they charge into battle, they are all wearing solid armor and leading their personal guards.

At this time, except for a very small number of people, most people believe in the existence of ghosts and gods.

Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of the interaction between heaven and man has aggravated the connection.

When a famine occurs, it must be due to the lack of morality of the imperial court, who also served as a stealer of the imperial court, or even because of the monarch.

"Book of Rites The Doctrine of the Mean": "When the country is going to prosper, there must be auspiciousness; when the country is going to perish, there must be evildoers."

Now that the country has just been founded, it has suffered successive droughts and locust plagues. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the current Taipingdao.

If it is not dealt with, this will undoubtedly become a sign that Taiping Dao has lost its destiny.

For such a situation, Xu An had expected it long ago, but the founding of the country must not be postponed, otherwise, based on legal principles, he would have no way to maintain such a large territory so that foreign countries would submit and the country would be stable.

Go ahead to dangers.

Xu An is not unprepared, since people in this era believe in ghosts and gods, they need to use the theory of ghosts and gods to solve the famine.

Explain what a so-called natural disaster is, and not many people will believe it.

In ancient times, it was believed that the drought was caused by the drought, and the locust plague was the "natural poison and famine".

It is precisely because the king is unvirtuous and the officials are corrupt that God will send a famine as a warning.

Therefore, Xu An used his status as the Taoist master of the Taiping Road to issue an order.

The heaven is dead, but its claws and claws still exist. They release spirits and monsters in the world, thinking that they will cause chaos, in order to scatter people's hearts and restore them in vain.

Traces of drought demons and katydids have been found in Guanzhong, and the Taoist and Fu Zhu of Taiping Road are searching for traces and killing evildoers.

At the same time, information is also widely recruited. If someone finds the traces of the dry man and the katydid and reports it to the Taoist temples of Taiping Road in various places, they will be rewarded.

On the square, there was an uproar, and everyone in the crowd looked terrified.

Drought demons and katydids are both monsters in mythology and monsters.

Drought is present in this world, the land is thousands of miles away, and the country seen is severely drought. When the drought comes, not only the crops in the fields will not get water, but people and animals will not have water to drink.

If people just don't eat, they can still persist for a period of time, but if they don't drink water, they can't persist at all.

"call out------"

A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and the commotional crowd on the square were all stunned.

"Dashun heaven and earth, without losing money, achieve peace, auspiciousness and prosperity!"

"During the Ming Dynasty, the six will be completed at the same time, and the six dragons will be used to control the sky at the time!"

"My Ming Dynasty is established by the fate of the heavens. Even if some ghosts and ghosts can cause chaos for a while, how can they live happily ever after?"

On the high platform, Tang Liang, who was wearing a khaki Taoist robe, spoke and shouted with emotion.

"My Daoist of the Taiping Dao is already searching for traces of the drought demon and the katydid. The disaster will pass soon."

"We will never let the disaster spread. This time we are here to help you."

"This is the first batch of supplies. As long as the drought continues, the assistance will not stop. Please rest assured."

The sackcloth bound on the carriage was lifted, revealing the contents inside.

Liang Ping stood on tiptoe and looked behind the high platform, where the four-wheeled carriages were filled with clay pots.

"The river has not withered. These are clay pots for water storage. You can temporarily store more water for emergencies."

"Later, my Taiping Road Taoist will survey the land in the village and dig a deep well. I hope everyone will cooperate. After digging a deep well, at least drinking water can be guaranteed."

"The crops in the fields are difficult to protect, and you have no farm work. If you go to help dig wells, you will repair roads and build water storage cellars. Otherwise, if the horse-drawn carts for transporting water and grain are difficult to travel due to road problems and delay time, it will be everyone who will suffer in the end."

Tang Liang's voice is already a little hoarse, this is not the first settlement he has been to, and the days of running around made him not only dusty, but also the constant yelling made his voice almost change its tone.

"The heaven is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The yellow sky did not come into being naturally, but was united by the invitation of all people, and came to the world precisely because of the wish of all people in the world."

"We will never give up on any of our compatriots!"

"Please believe in us, believe in our Taiping Dao, believe in our Yellow Turban Army, and believe in our country!"

Looking at Tang Liang standing on the high platform, looking at the khaki flag flying on the high platform, and the yellow scarves around the high platform fluttering in the wind one after another.

Everyone in the square fell silent.

"our country……"

Liang Ping's heart skipped a beat. Looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly felt that the world he was familiar with was slowly changing.

The country... the imperial court... the government...

He knows what it means, the government is the person who will come to collect taxes every time, the court seems to be the superior of the government, as for the country...
