Chapter 22 Hu Hai's Visit(1/2)
One month later.
Kuaiji County.
Wuxian.
In a restaurant.
An old man who looked about sixty years old and gray-haired was sitting on the high platform in the middle of the restaurant, talking on the book in a slight manner.
Bang!
A beat of the gavel.
The old man said, "When it comes to this national teacher Bai Ziqiu, that's amazing. During the Taishan Mountains, Changhong welcomed the First Emperor on the bridge, and even sent a group of immortals to congratulate him. After that, there was still a scattered turbulent and a crane flying. That scene was simply unheard of..."
This storyteller actually talks about Bai Ziqiu's deeds.
From Bai Ziqiu's appearance on Mount Tai, then to the Huaihe River to calm down the floods. Everything is very detailed and the words are vivid.
Although most of them are fabricated, combined with a bit of opera tone, the story adds a bit of fantasy and exciting.
The audience below also listened with relish.
"I also heard that a month ago, the national teacher drove the water and led all the rushing floods to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River."
"I have seen it with my own eyes, and the national teacher calmed down the flood with every move!"
"Is it really that amazing?"
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the estuary of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River estuary. There is the Yongzhen Mountain and River Monument left by the national teacher. With this monument, we can predict the earthquake and floods in advance!"
"Old sir, let's talk about another paragraph. We haven't heard enough yet!"
Most people are very interested in this anecdote.
The old man took a sip of water, stirred everyone's appetite, and then coughed:
"Okay, that little old man will say another paragraph!"
In an instant.
There was a lot of cheers.
A corner of the restaurant.
Ying Yinman looked at Bai Ziqiu and smiled: "Wow, national master, I really didn't expect that your affairs would be regarded as a myth."
She listened with relish and applauded from time to time.
Bai Ziqiu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "If you add some details, it would be even better."
"Then I'll go to this storyteller later and provide him with some details of the daily life of the national teacher." Ying Yinlan smiled with a pursed lips.
"Forget it, I'm just trying to have fun, there's no need to make trouble for myself." Bai Ziqiu stood up slowly, "Okay, I've been playing with you for a day, and it's time to go back to Xianyang."
This past more than a month.
He has been doing the aftermath of floods.
Because the imperial court allocated timely funds, the people quickly returned to normal life.
Ying Yinman heard that she was going back to Xianyang, so she took Bai Ziqiu around for a day.
By chance, I heard a storyteller telling Bai Ziqiu’s story here, so I came over to listen.
Bai Ziqiu naturally would not object to this, but instead felt that he could increase his efforts.
after all--
The spread of myths is not only through carvings of monuments or word of mouth.
Storytelling and various novels are also a good way to spread myths.
Bai Ziqiu has also discovered that it has been in just one month.
His belief value increased by nearly 100,000.
It's almost comparable to his previous six months of gain!
This is because the flooding took place too short and his deeds have not been spread yet.
Wait for a long time.
This number may be more than ten times more!
It is not impossible to reach a million.
You must know.
In this era, the total population of the Qin Dynasty was 20 to 30 million.
In this era when information is not well developed, millions are already a very terrifying number.
Basically, what should be done has been done.
Bai Ziqiu did not delay and went back to Xianyang with Ying Yinman.
Half a month later.
The towering Xianyang City appeared in front of Bai Ziqiu.
"National Master, I'll go back first and come to see you another day."
Ying Yinman and Bai Ziqiu said goodbye and rushed back to the mansion as soon as possible.
Although Bai Ziqiu had already replied, informing Ying Yinman that she was with her.
but.
After all, Ying Yinman came out sneaked out and was almost killed. After returning home, she would inevitably be punished.
certainly.
Ying Yinman was favored by the First Emperor, and at most he was sentenced to confinement.
The news that Bai Ziqiu returned to Xianyang City was also the first to reach the First Emperor.
The First Emperor naturally went out of the palace to greet him.
And, summon all civil and military officials to come to the parliament!
The Parliament is naturally discussing various matters of this flood.
As a participant in the whole process, Bai Ziqiu naturally also attended the parliament.
About half an hour.
All civil and military officials have arrived.
Ying Zheng was at the top and said, "It's been a great time for the National Master this month. If I hadn't been plagued by trivial matters, I would have wished to fly to the Huaihe River immediately to meet the National Master. Now, I'm looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I've hoped to return the National Master."
"I just did my best and didn't dare to take credit." Bai Ziqiu waved his hand.
Li Si said, "The national teacher is too humble. This time, the national teacher used his shocking power to calm down the floods and save thousands of people from water and fire. Even if Guan Zhong and Leyi are alive, they cannot be compared with the teacher's achievements."
Feng Quji also spoke: "The national teacher has extraordinary methods and great skills. I had criticized the national teacher before, and now I am just apologizing to the national teacher in person!"
He stood up and bowed to Bai Ziqiu to apologize.
"Feng Xiang doesn't have to do this. You are all loyal and kind people who are dedicated to assisting Your Majesty. I am just a man in the countryside. I have lived in the palace for a long time and never participated in political affairs. I am also treated excessively by Your Majesty. It is normal for me to have misunderstandings." Bai Ziqiu waved his hand.
When the other ministers heard this, they also spoke out.
"The national teacher is very broad-minded and admirable."
"The national teacher is really an immortal. Why not come out of the mountain and help Your Majesty with his help?"
"This time, the national teacher not only quelled the flood, but also made a lot of efforts in the aftermath. It is a blessing for the people to be able to get the national teacher."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "National Master, I have heard that my son Fusu's sweet potato seeds and Li Xiang's reforms are under the guidance of the national master. I have asked the historian to record the affairs of the national master into history. I will issue documents tomorrow to announce to the world and praise the national master's merits!"
"I will order people to build stone statues for the national teacher in various counties and counties for the people and future generations to admire!"
After learning about this period of time, he has discovered that Bai Ziqiu doesn't seem to be very interested in money or beauty.
Only I value my name very much!
Bai Ziqiu also revealed to him intentionally or unintentionally that the name can accumulate merit for him and is beneficial to his cultivation.
so.
Ying Zheng naturally gave Bai Ziqiu a special reward.
"I am afraid of your majesty's attention." Bai Ziqiu clasped his fists.
He didn't expect that Ying Zheng was so conscious that he would help him promote his myths and deeds, so he didn't have to find someone else to promote it himself.
Next.
Just wait for things to ferment and then take the faith value to collect!
Hu Hai said from the side: "Just relying on the national teacher to teach his brother to plant sweet potatoes and solve the food problems of the people, it will be a success and no matter how much you reward it."
Bai Ziqiu glanced at Hu Hai and said, "It's mainly because Mr. Fusu is dedicated to serving the people, so I have some advice, so I can't count."
