Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Several heavy rains made the sky look refreshed, but made people on the ground miserable.

Countless tenant farmers in the river burst into tears when they saw their crops leaning to the ground.

This year's harvest is ruined, but the rent for the land must be paid!

What should we do? Human lives are at stake! Are we going to have to eat our own children like they did in the northwest? Are we going to flee everywhere?

Eh!

~~

"What a miserable life! The crops were washed away by the rain. How can we survive?"

"Without a house, where can we live? Oh, God! Heaven, why don't you help us poor people? It rains heavily every day, where can we live? Woo!"

Another group of people with bruised faces and swollen noses ran out of the city, crying and looking miserable.

The prefect of Chengdu, Xiang Laixiang, ordered the demolition of more than 2,000 houses opposite the government office to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian.

The area of ​​the new ancestral hall must be more than twice the total area of ​​the Qiansui Temple in Fucheng, in order to please Wei Zhongxian.

Xiang Laixiang also issued an order that this year, all merchants and people under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu government would have to pay additional taxes.

As a result, life became difficult for people both inside and outside the city of Chengdu.

There were cries everywhere in and outside the city, tears flowed like a river, and the tears and rain flowed together into the vast rivers.

The river water rose rapidly, submerging countless farmlands and leaving countless tenant farmers with nothing to harvest.

The wailing sounds were drowned out by the occasional thunder in the sky.

~~

After Feng Zhenting took over as the governor, he ordered Wang Chao to start with the merchants in Fucheng to set an example for the prefectures, counties and cities in Sichuan, and to publicize that these were the provisions of the Ming Dynasty laws and regulations newly revised by the Donglin people, and they must be enforced with great force.

In Fucheng, some merchants who did not have time to escape were captured by Wang Chao. They sold their property and raised money to hand it over to the Fucheng government office.

Wang Chao then handed over all the silver he had looted to Xu Li.

As a result, all prefectures and states followed suit, treating merchants cruelly and viciously, regardless of the consequences.

In the Ming Dynasty, the industry and commerce that had been developed with great difficulty were completely strangled in the cradle by the dynasty and the people completely returned to slash-and-burn agriculture and returned to the era of poverty.

Countless businessmen woke up to find themselves thrown into jail, their property confiscated, and their industrial equipment destroyed.

If there was iron or copper in the equipment, it would all be melted down into iron and copper and stored in the arsenals of various prefectures and states.

~~

Feng Zhenting immediately demanded that all prefectures and counties pay all debts owed to Xu Li, otherwise they would be dismissed on the spot.

Although he is not a governor, his words are more effective than those of a governor.

He also ordered Xu Li to unify the construction of Thousand-Year-Old Temples in all prefectures and cities, unify the standards, and start construction at the same time.

The governors of various prefectures and counties originally wrote IOUs to Xu Li. They wanted to default on their debts, but now they can't.

Now, Feng Zhenting is in power in central Sichuan, so how dare we neglect him?

They quickly increased taxes and collected taxes, raising money to send to the Qiansui Temple Construction Bureau in Chengdu.

No prefect or governor will care about the lives of the common people anymore.

Everything is done to keep one's official position.

~~

Xu Li finally raised enough money, and he led his people to various prefectures and cities to force the people to relocate and hand over their houses or homesteads to the Qiansui Temple Construction Bureau to build the Qiansui Temple. The land in Sichuan was immediately filled with smoke and miasma, with cries of grief and refugees.

The rain poured down madly and fiercely, hitting the ground fiercely and causing countless bubbles to appear.

Countless mountain village bridges were submerged and countless people were left homeless.

However, no one provided disaster relief, and all the money and grain were given to Xu Lijing to build the Qiansui Temple.

Where is the money and food for disaster relief?

After Shi Tianyu was escorted to the capital and suspended pending investigation, the Ming Dynasty was no longer a peaceful place. Starving people were everywhere, and there was a tragic situation of no one living for thousands of miles. There were places where people exchanged their children for food, and the people were living in misery.

The heavy rain that continued to fall seemed to be the tears of sorrow of the people of the world.

Lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, as if representing God, severely warning the Ming court not to levy endless taxes and grain on the people. Otherwise, the Ming court would be completely destroyed. Then, Feng Zhenting made such a fuss, and the governors and provincial governors of various places in the country also took action, and no official cared about the people of the world anymore.

~~

Fucheng government office.

In the inner hall, Wang Chao heard Fang Shizhong's report that he had adopted Xun Jinchi as his godson. He happily raised his finger to praise Fang Shizhong and said, "Well done, Lord Fang, you did a good job. Don't be in a hurry for the Yao family's property, just take it step by step. Now, the two of us have dug a huge pit for Xun Jinchi, and Xun Jinchi has dug another huge pit for Yao Luyang. We are just waiting for Yao Luyang and his family to jump into these two huge pits."

Fang Shizhong also raised his finger and praised Wang Chao for his good fortune, saying flatteringly: "Sir Wang, now, the people in the prefectures and states in Sichuan are cursing, and although our Fucheng will also have a poor harvest, because Shi Lang did not touch the people's taxes, we have become the best government office in Sichuan. Sir Xu has reported our situation to the court. I guess it will not be long before His Majesty will reward you with a promotion. Sir Wang is really lucky. From now on, good luck will continue to rise step by step."

~~

"Ha ha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Fang Shizhong proposed to help Wang Chao take Tang Meiling as a concubine, saying, "Lord Wang is young and strong, and in good health. I suggest that we do Xun Jinchi some favors in a while, and take this opportunity to propose a marriage between Wang and Yao. After the marriage is completed, the millions of taels of silver from the Yao family will be yours, Lord Wang."

Wang Chao smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and said triumphantly: "Haha! All right, Lord Fang, I will go to Chengdu in person and ask Lord Feng to recommend you for the position of Tongzhi of Fucheng Prefecture." He immediately conferred an official title and made a wish as encouragement.

~~

"Thank you!" Fang Shizhong bowed to Wang Chao, left the inner hall, and went to find Xun Jinchi for a secret discussion.

Xun Jinchi is still young, how can he be a match for Wang Chao and Fang Shizhong, two old villains?

He fell step by step into the huge pit dug for him by Wang Chao and Fang Shizhong.

~~

The summer rain is pouring.

The earth was a vast ocean, and the eaves were covered with dense curtains of water.

The strong wind was whistling.

The sky was filled with loud rumbling sounds of thunder.

Dazzling lightning flashed across the sky from time to time.

In the heavy rain, in Yao Mansion by the Little West Lake in the New City District of Fucheng.

Because Yao Luyang and Tang Meiling often received false news, "good news" and various happy news from Xun Jinchi's carrier pigeons, they took a carriage back to Fucheng from Kyoto, thinking that Fucheng had really become a paradise on earth under the governance of the dynasty.

Little did they know that Xun Jinchi had already been bribed by Wang Chao and Fang Shizhong.

Now, Yao Luyang has fallen into the huge pit dug for him by his beloved disciple Xun Jinchi.

When Yao Luyang and his daughter returned to Fucheng, they were immediately watched by people sent by Wang Chao.

All around the Yao residence were new detectives from the Fucheng government office.

~~

These detectives never patrolled the public security, they just kept an eye on Yao Luyang's family all day long.

Yao Luyang and his family are not allowed to leave this small West Lake.
