Chapter 60: Changing Feng Shui
Xiao Xixi did not answer but asked: "Did any other disasters happen in these four counties last year?"
"Well, these four counties had heavy rains for a month last summer. The river water rose, flooding many farmhouses and farmlands, causing a large number of people to be displaced and become refugees. In order to appease the refugees and prevent them from causing trouble, the court spent 5 million taels of silver for disaster relief. At the same time, it also made an exception to reduce their taxes for the past year, and only then did they barely get through. I thought we should be able to have a peaceful year this year, but I never expected that there would be another drought in the south. Recently, my father and the ministers in the court have been worried about this matter."
Xiao Xixi listened to him carefully, and she said, "I think there is something wrong with the Feng Shui of these four counties, which is why this place has suffered disasters for two consecutive years. If this problem cannot be fundamentally solved, even if the court pays for disaster relief again this year, there will still be other disasters in the south next year, such as fires, locust plagues, earthquakes, plagues, and the like."
Luo Qinghan listened attentively: "What do you think we should do?"
"Since the feng shui is problematic, then change it."
In addition to divination and fortune-telling, as well as seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Xuanmen can also calculate Feng Shui. Xiao Xixi is quite skilled in this business.
She pointed her finger at a river on the map.
"Dig a tributary in the middle and lower reaches of this river to lead the river water into the hinterland of Jingshou County. The terrain here is very low, and it is a depression. The river water will naturally gather here to form a lake, surrounded by mountains, forming a treasure land of hidden wind and lying water. This is the most central and vital point of the entire four counties. As long as the feng shui pattern of this place changes, the feng shui of the entire south will change accordingly. When the time comes, Your Highness will personally hold a rain-praying ceremony, and within three days, the four southern counties will surely be hit by heavy rain."
Luo Qinghan said seriously: "This matter concerns the lives of countless people in the south, and it is no joke. Are you sure this will really work?"
Xiao Xixi rarely showed a serious expression, and swore: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will never tell a lie about this matter. If Your Highness does what I say and still can't pray for rain, I am willing to die to apologize."
Whether it is digging a river or holding a rain-making ceremony, it is not a trivial matter.
Luo Qinghan still needs to think carefully before making a decision.
Xiao Xixi said everything she needed to say. She had just eaten her fill, and she felt tired so she yawned a little.
"Your Highness, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave now."
Luo Qinghan waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
Xiao Xixi took Baoqin away from Minguang Palace.
As soon as she returned to Qingge Palace, Xiao Xixi threw herself onto the bed, wrapped herself in a quilt, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Baoqin originally wanted to ask her about changing the Feng Shui, but those words sounded so mysterious and she didn't know whether they were true or false.
It was obvious that she was sleeping so soundly, and Baoqin couldn't bear to wake her up, so she had to let her sleep.
Minguang Palace is divided into two halves, the right half is the prince's study, where he usually handles official business and meets with ministers.
The left half is the library, which stores a large number of files and books.
After Xiao Xixi left, Luo Qinghan pushed open the door next to him, walked into the library, and began to look through the files of the four southern counties.
Since Xiao Liangdi said that there is something wrong with the feng shui of the four southern counties, it means that the four counties have not only suffered disasters in the past two years, but similar disasters may have occurred in the past.
After careful research, he actually found some clues.
