Chapter 442 Mission 043
Xiao Yu looked at the wind-calling and rain-calling talisman in Qingyunzi's hand. In the eyes of others, the yellow talisman was no different from an ordinary ghost-painted talisman, but in his eyes he could see the power of law contained in it.
He couldn't help but think: "There are so many time-travelers and rebirths in this world. It can be said that the laws of the world are suitable for time-travel and rebirth, but what about these golden fingers? In some small worlds that have been traveled before, only the protagonists who belong to Destiny's Child have golden fingers. In this world But there are so many golden fingers..."
He silently contacted the main god. This magical world must not be let go.
Qingyunzi burned the wind and rain talisman on the rain praying platform. A faint wisp of blue smoke visible to the naked eye floated straight into the sky, and then the originally cloudless sky became gray and gloomy. Not only the sky above Kyoto was gloomy. Get up, there are dark clouds over everywhere, including Guangqi Province in the far north...
Xiao Yu saw that the power of this law actually affected all areas of the country. He was grateful that no place in the Daqian Dynasty was experiencing continuous heavy rains. Otherwise, if it rained again, there would be waterlogging. .
But things were not that simple. I saw Qingyunzi reciting a few more incantations of unknown content. Suddenly a strong wind blew up. However, the howling wind only blew the dark clouds in the sky and did not blow to the houses on the ground. Originally, The dark clouds that covered the whole sky began to be blown over Guangqi Province in the north, and clear skies returned to other areas.
The victims in Quang Qi Province, whose bodies were so hot that they were drying out all the moisture in their bodies, swept away their previous despair and ran to open areas one by one to stare excitedly at the dark cloud-covered sky. Many even knelt down to pray for the heavy rain to fall quickly.
The dark clouds are gathering more and more, getting lower and lower. People in Guangqi Province can almost touch the dark rain clouds when they stand on the top of a slightly taller building.
There was a loud bang, and the rain clouds instantly turned into heavy rain and fell, drenching the people without shelter. However, the people of Guangqi Province were jumping and cheering happily in the heavy rain. This After a heavy rain, the water levels of rivers, lakes, ponds and streams will return to their previous levels, and at least within a year there will be no need for drought to the point where paddy fields will dry up.
Qingyunzi succeeded in asking for heavy rain, which alleviated the drought in Guangqi Province. Xiao Yu also fulfilled his promise and made Qingyunzi a national advisor in name only but with no real power, and gave him thousands of trust points.
Qingyunzi's request for rain this time can only alleviate the temporary drought in Guangqi Province, and he will definitely need to ask for it several more times in the future, so the trust points given by Xiao Yu are regarded as buying the wind and rain talisman in advance.
After solving the drought problem, Xiao Yu felt a lot more relaxed. He felt that the role of these time-traveling men was indeed not small. Cao Ling was a capable official doing practical things, Fu Shao was a ready-made library searcher, and Ning Xuantian, a science major, He was putting top students in the scientific research institute to study things like cement and glass. Qingyunzi, a magician, could also solve natural disasters... Then he couldn't help but set his sights on those time-traveling girls with golden fingers.
Zhang Jing of the imperial kitchen has a spiritual spring in her hand, the apocalyptic female Concubine Qi is a wood-type superpower, and the reborn female Jin Guiren has farming space. Couldn't the golden fingers of these three people be combined to try to improve crop seeds?
If it can be improved to the point where the yield per mu can reach a thousand catties, so that people all over the world can have enough food and clothing, the rule of the Daqian Dynasty will be unbreakable.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After Xiao Yu thought this, he planned to put this matter on the agenda immediately.
So he sent someone to summon Zhang Jing and Qi Fei Jingui. These three people seemed to have very different statuses. They were basically women in the emperor's harem, so being summoned by the emperor did not cause any disturbance.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Yu dismissed everyone, leaving only Liu An, a loyal confidant, waiting beside him. He looked at the three women and said calmly: "I heard that there are people under the emperor's feet who don't have enough to eat. My heart aches. I want to improve rice seeds, but I don’t know how to start. I have an expert to give me some advice. The three of you can help me..." He paused and glanced meaningfully at the three women who were worried in his heart. " Can you tell me what to do?"
Zhang Jing's first reaction was to soak the rice seeds in the spiritual spring. The seeds soaked in the spiritual spring would become plump and full of spiritual vitality, but she dared not say it because her spiritual spring only had a few drops a day, and after dilution, it would not be enough. Not much, simply unable to meet the requirements for soaking rice seeds in large quantities. And if she spoke out, she would be afraid of being controlled by the emperor. How could she dare to tell others about this incredible opportunity?
Concubine Qi didn't think about anything at all. She was only thinking about what delicious food she could have today. As for improving rice seeds, her wood-type powers can't do that. Wood-type powers can only spawn plants but cannot improve seeds.
Jin Guiren's heart was pounding because her space was a farming space. When the seeds from outside were planted in the space, they would mature quickly, with extremely high yields and excellent taste. However, like Zhang Jing, she did not dare to plant them. Tell me your own opportunity.
Seeing that there was no movement from the three of them, Xiao Yu had already expected that those who had obtained the golden fingers would not be willing to expose their golden fingers to others, but Xiao Yu was still a little angry. He said coldly: "Okay, now It's an order. I will distribute the rice seeds to you. Whoever can improve the rice seeds will be rewarded, and those who can't..." The unfinished words combined with the cold expressions were enough for them to think a lot. .
Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to forcefully expose their golden fingers and let them work together to improve rice seeds, but considering their possible backlash, he still planned to do it slowly and not scare people all at once.
So Xiao Ying pretended to have a master behind him, but in fact he didn't know what they were capable of, so they were worried and worked for him.
Xiao Ying gave a death order, and the three women who couldn't resist could only take a bunch of rice seeds back to worry.
Zhang Jing still used the spiritual spring she had accumulated to dilute the rice seeds countless times. Apart from this method, she didn't know how to improve the rice seeds.
Concubine Qi went back and looked at the rice seeds for a long time, and finally used the wood-type ability to produce a bunch of seedlings, and then gave up.
Concubine Jin was ambitious in her heart, thinking whether she could rely on this kind of field space to get favor, and then give birth to a dragon son to sit on the phoenix throne... So she planted all the rice seeds in her own space, and when the rice seeds in the space quickly grew into high-quality crops, she took out the seeds she left to report.
Xiao Ying kept staring at them. Except for the fact that he saw Concubine Jin's movements when she entered the space a little blurry, he basically controlled everything.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When the three women handed in the finished products at the deadline, Xiao Ying looked at the things in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that you all did it honestly and didn't perfunctorily."
The three people were shocked: "Your Majesty, do you know that I have spiritual springs/wood-related abilities/farming space?"
But no matter how much they doubted in their hearts, as long as Xiao Ying didn't say it clearly, the three people didn't dare to be sure, nor did they dare to speak out their golden fingers directly, so they pretended to be confused with each other.
After Xiao Ying accepted the batch of rice seeds/seedlings, he let them go back, but sent them a large number of rice seeds from time to time, and didn't torture them or imprison them in a small dark room as they imagined.
After being relieved a little, they became active in their minds and began to find out who the master behind Xiao Ying was. The biggest suspect was of course the newly appointed national teacher, the half-immortal Qing Yunzi.
Zhang Jing and Concubine Qi, the two time-traveling women, do not believe that there are really half-immortals. They previously thought that Qing Yunzi's success in praying for rain was a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and he succeeded by accident, and he was actually a liar.
But now that they have ruled out other candidates, they can only suspect Shang Qing Yunzi again, thinking that he may have real skills.
The reborn Concubine Jin felt that Qing Yunzi was a person with real skills from the beginning, because she remembered that the drought in Guangqi Province lasted for three years in her previous life. In those three years, even the expenses of the palace were reduced by 50% to provide relief to the victims, so she remembered clearly that there was no heavy rain at all.
Now that the prayer for rain has been successful, Concubine Jin certainly thinks that Qing Yunzi is a master with real skills, so it is not impossible to see through her adventure. The only thing that makes Concubine Jin panic is that she doesn't know if this national teacher will also see through that she is a reborn old ghost?
Qing Yunzi, who was totally unaware of the situation, took the blame for Xiao Ying one after another. However, he still felt good about himself and thought that he had fooled Xiao Ying. He was proud to be the national teacher respected by everyone. In fact, his every move and even his conversations with the big fool system were closely monitored by Xiao Ying.
Time passed slowly, and Xiao Ying did not find any new time travelers and reborn people in Kyoto. He used all the time travelers and reborn people who were useful. He secretly solved all those who were not useful but wanted to jump in front of him. Gradually, peace was restored, and everything developed as he arranged.
Twenty years passed in a blink of an eye. Xiao Ying became an old emperor in his forties or fifties, but he looked the same as when he was young, and he did not look old at all. Everyone thought that he had obtained some panacea for longevity from the national teacher Qing Yunzi.
The two princesses left by the original owner have already married, and the two princes have grown up and married. Xiao Ying has several grandchildren in name, and the eldest grandson is more than ten years old.
When the princes grew up and entered the court, some court officials chose to take sides, either actively or passively. The second prince's party and the third prince's party began to confront each other in the court.
Xiao Ying acquiesced to this. As long as there were no serious problems, healthy competition was allowed.
