Main text Chapter 63 Do good and accumulate virtue, and the people will bless you
Qiu Yan couldn't understand the reason for this, and he didn't think much about it. The struggle in the court was too far away from him, and he still had a lot of things to do now.
He felt someone peeping at him in the woods, but he didn't find any trace of him, so he ran all the way and made a circle before returning to the city. After that, he went to the drugstore to buy a porcelain bottle, filled the blood pills, and then discovered something strange at the city gate. I just came here and overheard the conversation between several government officials.
As for the fact that the news of the emperor's death had only arrived now, it did not surprise him. This kind of news must be under unified control and cannot be leaked casually. Even if the government received the news in advance, the national mourning process cannot be started without an official official notification. Because this involves etiquette, it should be treated with caution.
Shaking his head, Qiu Yan turned and left.
Shortly after he left, the old man's carriage and horses quickly entered the city.
This group of people with such a big car and a small car will definitely attract the attention of everyone in the city.
The scattered hungry people around were driven to other places by the county magistrate, but some scoundrels who liked to steal chickens and dogs were attracted.
These people were as slippery as loaches. Although the convoy was guarded, they could not stop the rogues from getting in everywhere. Soon someone touched the side of the car, reached out and took out two things from inside like a bird's egg, but they were two books.
"Why is this?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then cursed, threw the book away, and then quickly moved away amidst the scolding of the car escort.
The same scene happened next to other cars.
"Are all the big cars carrying books? Honey, how many books are there?"
The people watching around were inevitably amazed when they saw this scene.
There are several large cars packed full of books!
Soon, the rogue lost interest and the crowd dispersed.
However, not long after, riots broke out in the city again. The reason was that a big news was posted on the notice board——
The emperor dies!
As soon as this news spread, it naturally aroused many people's surprise. You must know that when the emperor dies, no matter whether the people of the world are happy or sad, they will be affected. There are strict prohibitions in the first seven, two, and three sevenths, and every family must If you are hanging white, you cannot attend red events, set off firecrackers, etc.
Qingchang County was already affected by refugees and hungry people, and the city was in chaos. With such a big incident, the chaos became even more chaotic.
However, this matter had no impact on the porridge soup. As soon as evening arrived, Qiu Yan, Liu Huai and others took people back to the porridge shed.
This time, a lot more people gathered, obviously coming because of the reputation. Fortunately, Qiu Yan had already prepared much more than at noon.
With the experience at noon, I am now more familiar with it. The hungry people line up in order and orderly.
"I didn't expect that there are people here who don't hesitate to spend money and give out porridge to save the people! This Qiu Yan, I heard that his family is not rich. Due to some opportunities, he got some money, but he has not forgotten his roots. It seems that he has not read the book in vain, and he can write it down The teachings of the sages are turned into action, which is quite close to the teacher’s advice.”
In the distance, a young man wearing a green shirt looked at Qiu Yan who was busy in the porridge shed, with admiration in his eyes.
This man was the man who was accompanying the old man in the motorcade. He heard that there were a lot of homeless people in the city, so he came out to investigate. Unexpectedly, he saw Qiu Yan giving porridge. After asking about it a little, he got the general idea, and he also had an idea in his mind.
"It seems that there are wise people even in remote mountains. Coming out with the teacher this time may not be a bad thing." With this thought, he turned and left.
Not long after, a government servant came over and went straight into the porridge shed.
Liu Huai saw him and hurriedly greeted him. He had some experience with this and thought he was here to ask for benefits. Unexpectedly, the yamen servant looked selfless and took the initiative to help Qiu Yan ladle soup and porridge, and conveyed the county magistrate's condolences. .
"If you need anything, go directly to the Yamen to mention it. Saving the people from floods and fires requires a special report. The county boss has been working hard on this for the past few days and finally came up with the regulations. The warehouse will be opened soon. At the same time, he called on the wealthy households in the city to donate generously to relieve the people's suffering like Mr. Qiu. "
Listening to the officer's words, Qiu Yan's heart felt like a mirror.
What kind of person the magistrate of Qingchang County is like can be known from the memory of his predecessor. He is a person who pursues prudence and self-preservation. He prefers doing more than doing less. He is a typical confused county magistrate. There must have been some consideration for the indifference to the hungry people before, but now the attitude suddenly changed, and the reason behind it is quite intriguing.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but think of the convoy that entered the city earlier.
At this time, the yamen servant suddenly lowered his voice: "Mr. Qiu, our county master has always loved the people as his own children. You also know this. Now that Ma Yang, the old prime minister, has come to the city, he likes to support the underachievers. You are a scholar." , now that he has a good reputation, he may be called to speak by Mr. Ma in the future. When the time comes, don’t forget the county master’s hard work.”
After hearing this, Qiu Yan felt relieved.
"Ma Yang! It's him! No wonder Dong Qiu has changed so much. This Ma Yang is a well-known capable man with profound knowledge and a master of literature. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is a veteran of two dynasties and has been an official for decades. Be loved by all people! Fame! This is the power of fame! Needless to say, when you go to a place, your style will be judged by others immediately. If I have such a reputation, I don’t need to spend money. , in one sentence, hungry people all over the city will benefit..."
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly had a thought, and a pressure suddenly came over him, and then the huge thoughts of people's wishes rushed over, vast, pure, pure, and strong!
The wish was filled with gratitude, satisfaction, and a wish for Qiu Yan to live a hundred years. Although it was vague and chaotic, it was as strong and turbulent as a flood when gathered together!
Huh! Huh! Huh!
The people's wishes gathered together, like a long river falling straight down, surging and surging, penetrating Qiu Yan's body and flesh, and roaring into his soul!
"What's going on? Suddenly so many people's wishes gathered here?"
The thought was too surging and huge, and Qiu Yan was shocked for a while and could hardly come back to his senses. Then he felt that the people's wishes gathered in his soul surged to the central black hole, and then rushed into it like a wild horse.
In an instant, it was like a river bursting its banks, and the surging people's wishes swarmed in, connected by the black hole, and surged into the body of the deity!
Hula la!
As soon as this wave of people's wishes appeared, it swept across the body of the deity, filling every corner in an instant, and then was pulled by the core talisman and flowed over.
As the core talisman turned, the distracting thoughts, trivial thoughts, private thoughts, evil thoughts, and ordinary thoughts in the people's wishes were eliminated and wiped out, and then condensed, compressed, and refined, turning into crystal-clear pure divine power, with a faint incense thought.
The divine power flowed, stained with green light, gathered, condensed, and fused, and divine power stars were formed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than 200 divine power stars were added to the divine body!
The stars flickered, rotating into a star wheel, rotating around the core talisman. Counting the original number, the number of divine power stars in the original divine body increased to more than 300!
The stars are dotted and bright as the night sky.
"These people's wishes are too strong and surging, and the total amount is huge. They are all good thoughts and wishes, neutral and peaceful. In just a few breaths, the divine power stars condensed are more than double the stars obtained by borrowing the laws of heaven and earth and the city god when ascending to the god!"
