Chapter 1532 Can You Explain It Clearly?

In a mountain outside Kaifeng City, this place is rarely visited. Jiang Hao held Hu Xinyue and flew here on the sword, landing on the flat ground of the canyon.

Letting go of Hu Xinyue's slender waist, Jiang Hao said: "You watch from the side, I will try the magic."

"My dear, you will definitely succeed." The little fox encouraged with a smile.

Jiang Hao came out today to practice a magic. This magic is not very powerful, but it is a magic that countless people envy. Once a cultivator enters the Jindan realm, he will definitely practice this magic first.

What magic is it?

The cloud-riding magic!

The cloud-riding magic is also called the flying magic. It can be performed after reciting the flying spell. It is not difficult for the Jindan realm strong. Jiang Hao had seen this magic in the Laoshan classics before, so he naturally remembered it.

In fact, flying does not necessarily require flying clouds and fog. There are two main reasons for summoning clouds and fog. One is to hide the body. In the past, immortals and gods walked in the world, and in order to avoid being seen by ordinary people, they used clouds and fog to cover themselves.

Jiang Hao has seen many UFOs with this function, hiding behind clouds and mist.

The second reason is amazing.

Show off!

In ancient times, gods often flew on auspicious clouds to show people. Gradually, riding on clouds and mist became a symbol of gods. Stepping on auspicious clouds is like driving a Rolls-Royce out, which is very cool.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva gave Tang Monk a brocade cassock and a nine-gift Zen staff, she and Mu Zha flew away with auspicious clouds under their feet. The Tang Emperor and the people of the Tang Dynasty knelt down.

In fact, the Bodhisattva can disappear instantly, so why did he fly away on clouds and mist? There is no other reason, just to show off!

Before Xuanji Laodao left Jinhua Prefecture to kill the Black Mountain Old Monster, he also deliberately left on clouds and mist. He showed off in front of the people, which attracted countless people to kowtow and call him a god.

Jiang Hao calmed down and chanted the flying spell silently. Slowly, he felt his body become lighter, and then flew towards the sky. Under the guidance of his mind, he flew freely in the sky.

Hu Xinyue saw that her husband succeeded once and clapped her hands happily.

Jiang Hao chanted the spell again, and a white cloud quickly condensed under his feet, as if he was stepping on the white cloud and the white cloud was carrying him to fly. In fact, it was still him who was flying, and the white cloud was just a decoration.

Jiang Hao was very happy to master the art of flying clouds and mist, but he soon discovered a disadvantage of flying clouds and mist.

The speed is too slow!

Not to mention compared with the flying magic of the Eagle King, even flying with a sword is much faster than flying with clouds and mist. No wonder Senior Brother Yuheng and Master Lingyun of Shushan can still use the sword-riding technique even though they can fly with clouds and mist.

Release the Qingyun Sword, step on the Qingyun Sword, and fly with the sword. The speed soared more than doubled. He also found that now that he had achieved the Golden Core and practiced the flying technique, the spiritual power consumed by flying the sword again was much less than that of the foundation-building period, and the speed was also faster. The flying sword did not need to carry his body, but only acted as an accelerator, so it consumed less energy.

He felt that he was stepping on the flying sword, and it was not a problem to fly thousands of miles.

Haha,

Maybe this is the real meaning of taking someone's head from thousands of miles away.

It's not that the flying sword goes over by itself, but the sword rider flies over to take the enemy's head.

Performing the cloud-riding technique, Jiang Hao flew towards the little fox. When he slid past her, he grabbed her slender waist, carried the little fox to the cloud, and flew quickly towards the mountainous area. Hu Xinyue felt it was so interesting and laughed non-stop.

After flying for a while, Jiang Hao changed to a flying sword, and the speed soared instantly. The little fox hugged Jiang Hao tightly, laughing and screaming: "My dear, so fast!"

A few days later, the grain transport fleet arrived at the dock outside Kaifeng Prefecture. This time, there were forty or fifty ships, all loaded with grain, and a large amount of gold and silver.

The ship also brought people from the Hu Family Business and Hu Family Bank.

Jiang Hao entrusted the specific affairs to Hu Xinyue. He met the old turtle at the dock. There were a few people behind the old turtle. After seeing Jiang Hao, they were very restrained and stood far away and did not dare to come forward.

The old turtle came to greet Jiang Hao, "This old servant greets the young master."

"Is this trip smooth?" Jiang Hao asked.

"It was smooth. Although I encountered a few water monsters on the way, I only released the River God Seal, and as the young master had told me before, I didn't dare to act rashly. Even when passing through some rapids and dangerous shoals, they helped control the waves to allow the cargo ship to pass smoothly." The old turtle said.

Jiang Hao looked at the four guys in the distance, "Are they the ones?"

"Yes, do you want me to call them over and have them pay their respects to you?" asked the old turtle.

"Call them over." Jiang Hao nodded.

Gui Yuan went over and soon brought four people over. When these guys came to Jiang Hao, they all knelt down obediently.

"We pay our respects to the Lord of the City!"

Jiang Hao glanced over and found that some of these people were very pure, and some had only a faint blood, indicating that they rarely killed.

"What are your names, and where are you practicing?" Jiang Hao asked.

The one on the far left was an old man with a horse face and two beards. The old man spoke first, "Reporting to the Lord of the City God, my name is Zhao Yuan, I live in the Yellow River, I am a dragon, and I have been practicing for 1,300 years."

The others also introduced themselves, and Jiang Hao nodded after listening, "You have also made contributions this time. If you are willing, you can first join the City God Water Division and become a subordinate of Guiyuan. When you have greater contributions in the future, you can be named a river god."

When the few people heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and thanked Jiang Hao repeatedly.

As the old saying goes, if you are an official without virtue, then the official position is not enough to persuade the virtuous; if you are rewarded without merit, then the reward is not enough to persuade the meritorious. Rewards without merit are the beginning of disaster!

When they came here and made no merit, they were granted the title of River God. This would make them feel that this River God was worthless.

Jiang Hao granted the title of City God to all the immortal sects because he was a member of the Taoist sect and needed to integrate this power. He granted the title of Bird Immortal to him because they could help him eliminate the locust plague. As for these water monsters, they only needed to transport food once. Sealing the River God is too cheap for them.

Previously, in Henan, preparations had been made in advance to buy granaries and grain stores. Now that the grain has arrived, it has been dispersed to various places and began to sell grain at a fair price. Due to the disaster, the skyrocketing grain prices in Henan were suddenly hit.

When other grain merchants saw so much grain shipped, they also lowered their prices, which instantly stabilized grain prices in Henan.

Immediately afterwards, banks in various prefectures and counties also opened their doors one after another to handle lending business. Jiang Hao came up with a relatively reasonable lending method suitable for this era. After inspection, many farmers obtained loans.

They are all small loans, and the amount is not large, and only a part is given. Most of them are kept in the bank, and some are converted into grain seeds and distributed to them so that they can plant winter wheat.

Disaster relief activities are carried out in an orderly manner throughout Henan. People see hope and know that they can survive this year, and many people feel relieved.

The people didn't know that this was Jiang Hao's credit, but they all thought it was the governor Xue Ji's credit. Many people ran to the governor's yamen, and when they couldn't see the governor, they kowtowed in the street to thank him.

The feelings of the common people are the most sincere, and they will naturally be grateful to anyone who treats them well.

At this moment, a group of people was arriving from the capital. When they arrived in Henan, what they saw was that disasters were everywhere in Henan. The farmers in the fields, even the grass on the edges of the fields and the leaves on the trees were all destroyed. After nibbling all the food, you will know how serious the disaster was.

Zuo Qianhu was riding on a horse, and Mr. Xingbu Tian was sitting in the carriage. Because of the sultry weather, the curtains were opened for ventilation.

Zuo Qianhu looked at the surrounding situation and sighed: "Master Tian, ​​the disaster in Henan is really serious this time. I'm afraid there will be no harvest."

Doctor Tian also looked out the window at this moment and said: "I heard it's not bad, because Mr. Xue Ji handled it decisively and saved about half of the crops, so that all the crops were not affected."

"Why are you punished for killing locusts to protect food?" Zuo Qianhu asked with a frown.

Doctor Tian looked at Zuo Qianhu and said softly: "Zuo Qianhu, this topic is not something we can talk about."

Zuo Qianhu nodded, knowing that it was probably another reason for the power struggle in the imperial court. These adults were mostly focused on fighting among themselves, and even good officials like Mr. Xue Ji who were devoted to the people were not spared.

After walking for dozens of miles, I found many farmers working in the fields and plowing the land. There were also a large number of birds, chickens and ducks in the fields, following the sledges and pecking at locust eggs.

Zuo Qianhu and Dr. Tian looked at each other, "Are the rumors true? The city god really asked the bird fairy to help eliminate the locusts?"

When passing through a county town, they went to the Bird Fairy Temple in the county town to have a look, and found that the place was very popular. There were twenty-seven statues enshrined in the temple. The statues were not big, but they were all birds, but they were lifelike.

"Is this the Bird Immortal Temple established by Mr. Xue?" Zuo Qianhu said.

Doctor Tian looked at the Bird Immortal Temple, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know how Xue Ji had the courage to build the Immortal Temple. This matter is very fishy. Let's take a look and talk about it."

In this way, they arrived in Kaifeng in a few days. Without notifying Henan in advance, they went directly to the outside of the governor's mansion, but they saw a scene that surprised them. Many people ran outside the governor's mansion, knelt down, kowtowed, and turned around. Just leave.

"What's going on?" Dr. Zuo Qianhu and Tian were very confused.

Another man dressed as a commoner kowtowed outside the governor's house and left. After walking a few dozen steps, he was stopped by Zuo Qianhu. The common people saw that he was a general in brocade robes and couldn't help but tremble with fear. .

"Let me ask you, why did you kowtow outside the governor's mansion? What was your purpose?!" Zuo Qianhu asked.

The common people stammered: "I want to thank Mr. Xue. He brought cheap grain from other provinces so that local grain merchants could not drive up prices. He also found a bank so that we could borrow money to tide over the difficulties. I just I took the money and grain and prepared to go back to plow the land to plant winter wheat. Mr. Xue gave us a way to survive, so I came here to kowtow to express my gratitude. "

The old man left, but Dr. Zuo Qianhu and Tian were speechless.

These two items are one of the five major crimes of Xue Ji, the first assistant, but now, the people are really benefiting, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"I really don't know who is right and who is wrong." Zuo Qianhu said solemnly.

Doctor Tian sighed softly, "Whoever dares to violate His Majesty's imperial edicts, we only need to act according to the rules. If you have any questions, let Mr. Xue go to the capital to speak."

"Can you make it clear?" Zuo Qianhu looked at Dr. Tian and asked.

Dr. Tian opened his mouth, but in the end he made no sound.
