People look up at the sky and see luminous bodies, which are "stars". The stars are not isolated. People use their imagination to organize them into various figures, so there are "images". "Book of Changes" said: "The image is formed in the sky, the shape is formed in the earth, and the change is seen."

The changes in the sky were originally due to astrology.

When human beings look up at the stars, observe the constellations, and think about their periodic changes, they will find that the sun rises from the east and sets from the west every day, and the moon is round and missing, missing and round; The north star above is always twinkling, while the other stars are in celestial motion; a persistent observer will find that the movement of the sun and the moon is somehow related to the seasons, which in turn are related to the harvest of agriculture , the distant celestial phenomenon is not indifferent to the fate of mankind and the production of mankind.

However, while observing the starry sky, different people see different worlds and gain different experiences. Some people seek the accuracy of observations and give mathematical explanations, thus forming astronomy. The other part played the role of imagination and explained it in words, thus forming star myths, and these myths often evolved into legends, stories and folk customs.

In ancient China, astrology was astronomy, which is an ancient magical knowledge!

Astrology has a history of at least several thousand years in China, but the real history may be even farther away. In essence, it and "Taiji", "Hetu", "Luoshu", "Zhouyi", "Bagua" and so on all originated from prehistoric civilization.

The ancients believed that "man-in-the-nature senses" and "unity between man and nature", and from the changes in celestial phenomena, we can infer what will happen to human beings. People walk in line with the sky, and the "heaven" will appear auspicious, and the world will have abundant crops, good weather, and peace and prosperity. If people act against the sky and do bad things, the "heaven" will send bad omens, and the world will suffer from drought and little rain, flood disasters, mutiny and civil chaos, etc. Therefore, the ancients attached great importance to the observation of celestial phenomena.

During the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court set up the "Taishi Bureau", "Qin Tianjian", etc., which were specially responsible for astronomical observation and prediction of good and bad luck.

Li Zexuan has never been exposed to the subject of astrology, whether in his previous life or in this life, and his first reaction was naturally disbelief, but the person in front of him was Li Chunfeng, and this prediction was completely consistent with history, so he couldn't help but be wrong This knowledge gives rise to admiration and reverence!

"The study of astrology is mysterious and mysterious, just relying on the words of the Taoist priest, I am afraid it is difficult for Your Majesty to believe it!"

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said.

Li Chunfeng's eyes sank slightly, and he said word by word: "Your Majesty will definitely believe it! Because according to the observation and calculation of the astronomical telescope in the past few days, there will be a Tiangu eclipse day in three days! According to ancient books, the first lunar eclipse, People are sickly; the solar eclipse in the second month will cause many mourning; the solar eclipse in the third month will be flooded; and the solar eclipse in the April and May will cause severe drought and starvation! day!"

Li Zexuan was shocked. A solar eclipse may be a very normal astronomical phenomenon in the eyes of modern people, but in the eyes of ancient people, it is not unusual at all. In many cases, a solar eclipse often means a great omen. It indicates that there will be traitors in the country, there will be fools, or there will be a catastrophe! If there are people in the folk who take the opportunity to confuse the public to do things, it is very easy to succeed!

Thinking of this, Li Zexuan looked at Li Chunfeng with a serious face, and said: "The matter of the Tiangou eating the sun is of great importance, and His Majesty must make preparations early, otherwise, if it is used by people with intentions, Chang'an City will definitely be in chaos! Please also say Go to the palace as soon as possible!"

Li Chunfeng nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then Pindao will go to the palace and ask to see His Majesty! Thank you Lord Hou for providing the astronomical telescope for Pindao these days. Otherwise, Pindao can't conclude that there will be Tiangu food in three days. day!"

"Haha! Daoist is polite!"

Li Zexuan cupped his hands and smiled.

Li Chunfeng clasped his fists in a salute and turned away.

In the office, Li Zexuan's expression suddenly became serious. He turned to look out the window, and looked at the busy villagers at the foot of Yunshan. He thought that in the next few months, there would be no rain, and after the severe drought, there would be no rain. The great locust plague, thinking of this, he felt a little distressed in his heart for the people who were farming in the fields, and then he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went out.

"Master, where are you going?"

Mo Zhong's voice came from outside the door.

"Go to the dam!"

……………………

In this era, there is no artificial rainfall and no water pump irrigation. In order to fight drought, the most direct and effective way is to use dams and waterwheels! For example, Dujiangyan, the land of Bashu, has guarded and nourished the people of Bashu for nearly a thousand years, and created the reputation of "Land of Abundance"!

The current Bahe Dam was specially built by Li Zexuan to protect the people of Lantian County!

It has been more than four months since the construction of the Bahe dam, and tens of thousands of craftsmen and people were employed. After solving the key problem - the closure of the river, the construction progress of the dam can be described as rapid progress, but to what extent, Li Zexuan I really don't know. On weekdays, he still doesn't pay enough attention to the dam!

When he came to the dam construction site next to Mei Village, Li Zexuan saw a wide dam running across the north and south of the Bahe River. It looked very majestic and majestic. Seeing this scene, Li Zexuan couldn't help but nodded secretly. Obviously, the main project of the dam has been basically completed now. All that's left is the details!

"Captain, are you here?"

As soon as Li Zexuan arrived at the construction site, some servants went to report to Mo Huai. Mo Huai heard the news and hurried over. His clothes were still stained.

Stained with a lot of muddy water, it looks completely different from the image of a literate person like an academy professor.

Li Zexuan nodded and asked, "Mr. Mo, how is the construction of the dam now?"

Mo Zhong pointed to the dam on the river and said with a smile: "Look at the dam, the main body of this dam has been completed, and now it is mainly to prepare for the installation of generator sets in the dam in the future, such as the power generation warehouse and the control room. , there are all kinds of switches, gates, etc.”

Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Well, this speed is very good! I just don't know if the current dam can put down the gate and block the diversion channel for water storage? As for the power generation warehouse and control room, can we store water at the same time? Building on the side?"

Mo Zhong didn't know why Li Zexuan wanted to store water so eagerly, but since Li Zexuan proposed it, he had to consider the feasibility of such an approach. After thinking for a while, Mo Zhong nodded and said, "Store water first, then build and For the generator-related parts, this is indeed feasible! However, this will inevitably slow down the construction of the hydropower station!"

Li Zexuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay! Hydropower stations don't have to be in a hurry, it's just the so-called slow work and careful work!"

Mo Zhong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Mo will order people to make preparations. At the latest tomorrow morning, the dam can be officially filled with water!"

Only then did Li Zexuan notice the little mud spots on Mo Zhong's body and the pair of shoes that had long been soaked in the muddy water in the river.

"Mr. Mo has worked hard for the construction of the dam in the past few months, but the boy rarely comes here to help because of his common affairs. It's a shame! The reason why this Bahe dam can be built so quickly is absolutely inseparable from Mr. Mo. Day and night, my son, on behalf of the tens of thousands of people in Lantian County, would like to thank Mr.

After that, Li Zexuan bowed to Mo Zhong with a solemn expression!

"Hey! Can't do it! The Chief of the Mountain can't do anything!"

Mo Zhong was caught off guard by Li Zexuan's gift. After he reacted, he hurriedly stepped forward and lifted Li Zexuan up, saying:

"Shan Chang, the Bahe Dam embodies your wisdom and the energy of tens of thousands of craftsmen on this construction site. Mo only did what he was supposed to do, and dared not take credit! What's more, the holy ancestor of the Mo family had pity on the people of the world back then. Suffering is because he wants to rely on his talent in siege equipment, so that the people will no longer have the "difficulty in farming", and they will all live a good life. Now Mo is just fulfilling the last wish of his ancestor!

Once the Bahe dam is completed, it will definitely ensure that the people of Lantian County will no longer be afraid of drought. Therefore, Mo must thank the mountain chief for giving the people of the Mo family such an opportunity to use what they have learned to benefit the common people. If not, it would be even more difficult to benefit the people of a county with the now declining Mo family! "

After all, Mo Huai also bowed to Li Zexuan very sincerely!

These words are completely from the bottom of his heart. Although Yanhuang Academy is not teaching Moism, but engineering, but its philosophy of saving the world is completely similar to Moism. In Yanhuang Academy, under Li Zexuan's command, all Mohist disciples can use it. What I have learned and practice Mozi's original idea of ​​helping the world can be regarded as a disguised promotion of Moism!

Without the strong financial support of Li Zexuan, Mo Huai would like to participate in and complete such a huge project as the Bahe Dam that will benefit the common people, it is basically impossible!

"Mr. Mo, please get up quickly!"

Li Zexuan quickly helped Mo Huai up, and he said with respect: "Mr. Mo is of high moral character, dedicated to the people, and admired by Zhiyuan! The people of Lantian County will definitely remember Mr. Mo's dedication and great kindness! Sigh! To be honest, Daoist Li Chunfeng, the general of the Taishi Bureau, told me that he was watching the stars at night and predicted that the Tang Dynasty would suffer a very serious drought, so Ben Hou was in a hurry to ask Mr. Mo to lower the dam gates and start. Store water!"

"What? Is there really going to be a major drought?"

Mo Huai's expression changed, and he said, "No wonder there have been only a handful of rainy days since the beginning of the new year. Mo thinks that Li Shilang's prediction is very likely to be true. No, Mo will let the craftsmen and civilians continue. Speed ​​up the progress, the Bahe dam must be filled with water as soon as possible! Otherwise, when it is hot, there will be no more water to store!"

After saying that, Mo Huai bowed his hands to Li Zexuan and turned to leave.

Palace, Nectar Palace.

Li Er walked up and down the hall with a gloomy expression, recalling what Li Chunfeng said just now, his brows became deeper and deeper, and from time to time he let out a sigh, Zhao Song in the hall was calm and did not dare to make a move , for fear of disturbing Li Er, who is in a bad mood now!

"Dengdengdeng!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and after a while, Empress Zhangsun walked in with a few palace maids.

"Your Majesty, the weather is very hot, and my concubine made you an iced mung bean soup. Would you like to try it?"

Empress Zhangsun took the food tray from the palace maid behind her and walked up to Li Er and said.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Goddess of Mercy, please put it down! I'm not in the mood to eat right now!"

Empress Zhangsun's expression froze. They have been husband and wife for so many years, how could she not see that Li Er is worried now! She turned around and waved her hand, "You all go down!"

"Yes! Empress!"

Everyone in the hall, including Zhao Song, all exited the hall.

Empress Zhangsun stared at Li Er and asked softly, "Is Your Majesty having trouble?"

Li Er sighed, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.

Said: "The maid of Guanyin didn't know anything, just now Li Chunfeng from the Taishi Bureau came to me. He told me that last night Jupiter entered and exited from the south gate of Taiweiyuan, and the Big Dipper seven stars were dim and light, and the light covered the evil. It indicates that there will be an unprecedented drought in our Tang Dynasty! Moreover, he also told me that in three days, there will be a day of eclipse of the dog!"

"Great drought? Tengu eating the sun?"

Empress Zhangsun opened her mouth in surprise when she heard the words, and said in a panic: "Last year, the Marquis of Yong'an told His Majesty that not only will there be a major drought this year, but there will also be a major locust plague, but when the dog eats the sun on this day, there will be rumors among the people. Let's get together?"

Li Er shook his head and said: "I am not worried about rumors. Since I ascended the throne, I have always been diligent in politics and love for the people. The lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty have been significantly improved. What can I do about the mere rumors? What I am worried about is the drought. It's really coming! Last year, Li Zexuan's prophecy gave me a bit of luck, but now even Li Chunfeng said the same thing, then this year's drought will definitely happen!

At that time, after the great drought, there will be another great plague of locusts, and the people in many places in Guanzhong will have no crops. My heart is very painful! If this is God's punishment for the Tang Dynasty, I would rather bear it alone than let thousands of people suffer this unprecedented disaster! "

"Your Majesty! Never! Never be so dejected!"

Seeing Li Er frowning, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but feel distressed:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the Marquis of Yong'an? From last year's reduction of the tax for raising chickens, to the subsequent promotion of the imperial fleet to go south to exchange food, to the construction of the Bahe dam this year, although he knew that there would be a severe drought in Tang Dynasty this year. And the great locust plague, but he has never given up, he has always been fighting against natural disasters! He is a child of a fairy, and with him around, I believe that Tang Tang will be able to survive this disaster, and I hope Your Majesty will not worry too much! Injuring the dragon's body!"

Li Er was startled, then patted Empress Zhangsun on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Yeah! Why did I forget that kid? With the current Tang Dynasty's full granary, even if there is no grain in the land in Guanzhong, the Tang Dynasty can resist this. What a natural disaster! That kid is really a lucky star bestowed on the Tang Dynasty by God!"
