Chapter 631 Could it be that there is a destiny?
In the city of Jiang County.
The people did not know that Wu Nian had already stolen the gods and the Buddha's money by his hands. But they saw the list of documents released by the government.
The general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty wanted to seek rain for the people.
This is something that the people like to hear about.
Even in modern society, some believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Some people even call it "the end of science is metaphysics."
If there are really gods and Buddhas in this world, people burn incense and worship Buddha, seek retribution, seek health, seek peace, and seek wealth.
If everyone has retribution, then what else should the law do? Everyone is healthy and doctors will be unemployed. Everyone is safe and there will be no one who dies in vain.
If everyone is rich, then wealth is worthless.
But this is ancient times. There were few people like Wu Nian. The people believed in Buddhism and worshipped the Tao. Nowadays, natural disasters and everyone is suffering. The crops are deserted, and Wu Nian's promise is still there, so they are not afraid of starving to death.
But if there is no water, they either die of thirst, or turn into refugees, leave the land, and go to places with water to make a living.
These two paths are not a good choice.
The Han people are safe and relocated. Their hometown is hard to leave. How can they abandon their ancestors’ graves?
But when people are desperate, they naturally pin their hopes on [metaphysics]. Sacrifice to heaven, monks, and Taoism are things that the people are willing to do and see.
Which family members die, even if they are poor, they have to ask someone to recite scriptures. No?
What's more, the general of the Han Dynasty set up an altar to ask for rain?
When the news spread, when the two prefectures and even the temples of Nanhai Prefecture and Taoist temples responded to Wu Nian and gathered in Jiangxian, the people were very happy.
I feel that the general's power and great power, and so many monks and Taoists work together, will definitely move God and rain.
The patience of the Han people is really too strong. Just endure it and endure it again and you can get over it.
The worst is coming, and the road is turning around. Although the darkness is long, dawn is only at the next moment.
The people need such spiritual sustenance.
The altar was located in the east of the city. The General Sui Han came forward and bought a large piece of land. In the past, if this was the case, the people would definitely not be willing to let it go. However, when Wu Nian enclosed the land this time, the people were very willing to let it go. Some people said that it was a merit to not have money.
Wu Nian sent troops to open the mountains, took down huge stones, and built a huge altar. He made the ritual vessels needed for rain, one by one, and walked very calmly.
This did not cost a copper plate in the General's Mansion of the Auxiliary Han, but instead gave it a slight brisk.
The Mansion of the General of Han, in the backyard, in the pavilion.
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing sat face to face on the stone bench across the table and spoke. Gongsun Sang stood beside him, respectfully. He was a young man after all, and he was very energetic. Looking at the pavilion and the backyard, he was very excited.
"This is the general's backyard. The outer yard is clearly divided. In the past, only the Changshi, Sima, and Gongcao could report their work here. Unexpectedly, I have today too."
For everyone, the taste of rights is wonderful.
Wu Nian's General's Mansion for the Han Dynasty was not only an anti-Mongolian organization. It also represents a prosperous new force.
No matter what you are doing, those who can do good things are good officials.
"General. The result has been calculated. This time, the monks, Taoists, and set up an altar to seek rain. After spending money, there are still 35,232 taels of silver left."
Liu Zhixing smiled and opened the last page of the account and handed it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reached out to take the account, looked casually and put it down. A happy expression appeared on his face and said, "Thirty-five,232 taels of silver. Although it cannot fill my appetite for the general of the Han who holds more than 100,000 elite soldiers, it is still a bit fat."
"Gongsun. This matter is done well." Wu Nian raised his head and praised Gongsun Sang.
"Thank you for your compliment, General." Gongsun Sang was very excited, but he remained calm on his face and said with a bent over.
"Yes." Wu Young nodded lightly, not hiding his appreciation.
"These monks and Taoists spent so much money to get close to me, so as not to slaughter them, kill chickens and get eggs. Since that's the case, I have to give them some face. A vegetarian banquet will be held tomorrow, and all monks and Taoists will be invited. I will have a vegetarian meal with them."
Wu Nian looked up at Liu Zhixing and said.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded.
Immediately, he said goodbye with Gongsun Sang, left the pavilion, backyard, and back to work in the front yard.
"The same sentence. All roads lead to Rome, and living people cannot be suffocated to death by peeing. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Therefore, you have to be open-minded."
Wu Nian stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of smiles
Although the road ahead is full of mountains and steep mountains and rivers, I will eventually walk out of a broad road and be invincible in the world when I encounter mountains and rivers.
The next day.
Wu Nian, a mass butcher who has never cultivated good results in his life and is good at killing and setting fire, invited monks and Taoists. He was the host of Hongfa Temple, the host of Huilong Temple, and other famous monks. The famous monks sat at a table, with monks and Taoists all over the hall.
For a moment.
Wu Nian, the butcher, seemed to have turned into a great charity and became kind-hearted.
These monks who were afraid that Wu Nian would raise their butcher's knife and kill chickens to get eggs were also breathed a long sigh, chatting and laughing with Wu Nian, and eating vegetarian food.
A good day is here.
Early in the morning that day, before dawn, Wu Nian sent ten thousand soldiers to the altar along Jiang County, and was on guard.
Musicians, ritual officials, monks, Taoists, Confucian officials, and officials in Jiangxian County, together with leading figures, seeking rain outside the city. The people were moved when they heard the news, not only the people inside and outside Jiangxian County, but also the people from all over the country who brought their own dry food after hearing the news.
Some even come from Nanhai Prefecture.
There are crowds of people, with a population of more than 100,000.
The people need a sustenance.
And Wu Nian gave this sustenance.
Although the General Sui Han was a small court, there was no unified dress. For this matter, Wu Nian asked someone to design a dress, that is, a red long gown and wearing a black veil on his head.
Wu Nian himself wore a purple brocade robe, a golden crown, and a sword. He was majestic and noble. He led all officials to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in the music of musicians, monks and Taoists' lyrics.
More than 100,000 people gathered, men, women, old and weak kowtowed to the sky and prayed for rain. This scene was extremely huge.
Although Wu Nian did not believe in heaven, did not believe in Buddhism, or gods, he was also a marionette. Although he was sweating profusely, he did very well and did not act recklessly.
At the end, when he knelt down to worship the heaven and prayed to the Emperor of Heaven and Earth to give him rain, he recited silently in his heart.
"Huangdi Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong. Although I do not believe in heaven or gods and Buddhas, I respect my ancestors. I also know that people cannot be resurrected by death."
"But I think it's time to rain this day. You guys say, right?"
At this moment, the sky flashed.
