Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 45: Repairing the sky and bathing the sun, the medicine saint enters Zhejiang!
Ok Hee Palace.

Respect your body.

Incense and candles were lit on the altar.

These incense sticks are all specially made, and the incense in the copper incense burner next to it is also specially made. The doors and windows are tightly closed, and the whole room is filled with a faint fragrance, which gives people a fairyland-like feeling in terms of smell.

Zhu Houcong got into the state, and two rays of light flashed in his eyes.

The national fortune points in the system rose to 20,000, and those magical powers slowly lit up in his eyes.

Zhu Houcong looked at the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods, which had the power to mend the sky and bathe the sun.

The water level of the Xin'an River never reached the level of flooding the levee. The flood was all due to the shoddy construction of the levee.

Sand and water were stirred up in nine places, causing the dike to burst. Hu Zongxian was forced to blow up the dike and divert the water to flood the area.

As long as the Xin'an River embankment is repaired, the surging river water will be able to flow downstream and nourish countless fields downstream.

Moreover, the effect of repairing the levee with the magical power of repairing the sky and bathing the sun is not temporary but permanent.

The Xin'an River flood will be eradicated forever.

Although many national fortune points are consumed, in the long run, the benefits to the counties along the Xin'an River and the people of Zhejiang are endless.

As the emperor and father of all the people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, he should comfort his sons who have suffered from this misfortune.

Zhu Houcong picked up the gong pestle beside him and struck the bronze gong.

A clear and long copper chime sounded, and then it disappeared, leaving 20,000 points of national fortune.

"Ding, the magic power of repairing the sky and bathing the sun was successful, and the people's support +2."

Zhu Houcong was stunned.

The white hair turned gray and then black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his physical condition reached a higher level than before.

Including this time, Zhu Houcong used his supernatural powers four times in the entire Ming Dynasty to call the wind and rain to bring snow to alleviate the winter drought. He also used the power to change the weather in Xishan and Shandong, changing spring to summer to alleviate the danger of people in the two places being homeless and freezing to death after the earthquake.

Among them, calling the wind and summoning the rain consumed 10,000 points of national fortune and increased the people's support a little, but changing the situation twice consumed 20,000 points of national fortune and only increased the people's support a little. This time, it suddenly increased by two points.

Obviously, the growth of public support has nothing to do with how many national fortune points are consumed to display supernatural powers, but Zhu Houcong still can't figure out what it is related to.

But what is worth being happy about is that the system’s public opinion has reached 52 points. According to the system’s judgment, even if there are two more incidents similar to the man-made disasters in Zhejiang, the three major trumpets will not be extinguished.

The prerequisite is that Zhu Houcong can properly handle and resettle the victims after the man-made disaster occurs.

"Issue an order to allow Hu Zongxian, the Governor-General of Zhejiang and the Governor of Zhejiang, to mobilize grain from Fujian, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces to provide relief to the people affected by the disaster. When the relief is completed, the criminals will be brought to the capital immediately!"

Zhu Houcong's voice seemed to come from far away in the sky and reached the ears of the eunuch on duty.

The Jinyiwei's express message, which was sent over an express speed of 800 miles, clearly pointed out the difference between Hu Zongxian and other officials in the Zhejiang government.

When the nine counties of Xin'an River were closing the sluice gates, Hu Zongxian was drawing a coastal defense map on the front line.

When Hu Zongxian returned to the Governor-General's Office, he saw the people kneeling in the courtyard to petition, and he immediately supervised the matter of opening the dam and releasing the water.

As the release of water caused sand and water to surge in nine counties, Hu Zongxian acted decisively to divert the flood into the mountains and divert the flood to Chun'an, thus minimizing the losses in the entire Zhejiang province.

Hu Zongxian's various actions were recorded in detail by the Jinyiwei in Zhejiang. If such a person is the same as the group of ruthless officials in Zhejiang officialdom, then his ability to deceive the world is unparalleled in ancient and modern times.

Therefore, Zhu Houcong did not send an imperial envoy to Zhejiang to provide disaster relief, but instead asked Hu Zongxian to complete the disaster relief as quickly as possible nearby.

Then, a group of corrupt officials from Zhejiang were escorted to Beijing.

I hope Hu Zongxian will not let the emperor down as he has unreserved trust in me.

of course.

This is the appearance, but in secret, the Jinyiwei will always keep an eye on Hu Zongxian's every move.

If they found that Hu Zongxian was two-faced, the Jinyiwei would immediately intervene in the major case.

"The emperor ordered that Li Shizhen be reinstated as the director of the Imperial Hospital and sent to Chun'an to manage epidemics."

Zhu Houcong issued another decree.

After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. If the local doctors in Zhejiang do not handle it properly, it will inevitably lead to a disaster. Disaster relief does not require an imperial envoy, but the injured people after the disaster must have an imperial envoy and imperial doctor.

In the 37th year of the Jiajing reign, Li Shizhen resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown, Huangzhou Prefecture, Huguang, where he founded Dongbitang and continued his medical practice.

Not far from Zhejiang, he is a very suitable candidate.

The eunuch on duty received the order and went to convey the imperial edict.

Another eunuch on duty knocked on the palace door, "Your Majesty, Chaotian Temple Master Lan Daoxing is here to see you!"

Lan Daoxing?
Upon hearing this name, Zhu Houcong was filled with anger. He had not forgotten that it was the officials in Zhejiang officialdom who ordered the Xin'an River to store water in the name of the Chaotian Temple's decree.

As a barbarian, he interfered in local political affairs. Before he went to find Lan Daoxing, Lan Daoxing came to him first.

"Xuan!"

……

at the same time.

Zhejiang, Jiande, levee.

Hu Zongxian looked in the direction of the breach, his eyes filled with melancholy.

The flood was so large that even though most of the water was shared by the mountains and Chun'an County, the water in the river still affected the nearest Jiande Dam.

The place where sand and water were originally bubbling opened up a crack several meters long, and the flood rushed into Jiande County.

Although they have not yet rushed into the farms, if this continues, the low-lying half of Jiande County will be difficult to defend.

Behind Hu Zongxian, Yang Jinshui, Zheng Michang and He Maocai all had sullen faces, waiting for Hu Zongxian who was watching the river.

Behind them, the levee was filled with soldiers. A row of soldiers with guns stood like nails, and another row of soldiers with swords stood there.

Except for the river water, no one made any sound. There was no wind that day, and even the flag on the huge flagpole hung heavily, revealing a creepy and murderous atmosphere!

In front of the flagpole, there were ten beheading pillars. Nine of the pillars had the magistrates of nine counties tied to them, and another one had Li Xuan, the eunuch in charge of the Xin'an River, tied to it.

Waiting for Hu Zongxian to kill people with the royal flag.

"Has the food for the disaster relief in Chun'an been collected?" Hu Zongxian was still looking at the river.

Half of the court's silver was in Zhejiang, but the entire Zhejiang government warehouse did not even have 20,000 shi of grain.

Even if the 300,000 or 400,000 people in Chun'an eat very little, they can't last more than ten days.

The disaster was urgent and Hu Zongxian had no time to investigate the problems of the government warehouses. After Yang Jinshui, Zheng Michang, He Maocai and others took the initiative to show up, he directly threatened them.

If the relief food is not enough, then he, as the Governor-General of Zhejiang, will immediately go to Beijing to see the emperor and explain everything.

Under the threat of implicated all nine clans, Yang, Zheng and He had no choice but to take on the task of raising grain.

Zheng Michang and He Maocai both looked at Yang Jinshui.

Food matters.

The Weaving Bureau is in charge.

To be precise, it was Shen Yishi who was in charge. He had to buy land in nine counties, so the grain was naturally prepared in advance and the grain ships could go to Chun'an at any time.

Yang Jinshui, however, stood there coldly with his eyes closed.

Zheng Michang had no choice but to ask: "One million dan of grain, please kill someone!"

"Ok?"

Hu Zongxian paid no attention to Zheng Michang's words. He stared blankly at the breach that was gradually closing. He opened and closed his eyes, and then opened and closed them again. He only heard the people of Jiande County shouting in the distance: "The breach has closed!"

"Has the breach closed?"

Yang Jinshui suddenly opened his eyes, and together with Zheng Michang and He Maocai, he looked towards the direction of the breach, and was immediately shocked...
