Chapter 344 Commune Meeting.

Zhao Kun sat in the conference room and waited for a while, thinking about how to express the old Taoist priest's request in the meeting later.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and soon everyone in the commune arrived in the meeting room.

"Quiet down!" Zhao Kun said after seeing that almost everyone had arrived.

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell silent.

“The main purpose of today’s meeting is the current major drought issue.

Anyone who has an idea, please stand up and speak out now!" Zhao Kun spoke first.

However, the members looked at each other, and no one spoke out.

Are you kidding me? How can they deal with this situation? What can they do?

If it doesn't rain, they can only watch.

When Zhao Kun saw this situation, he immediately had an idea.

"Since no one has any ideas, let me first tell you about the situation I encountered today!" Zhao Kun said while looking at everyone in the conference room, and then he continued.

"Today, someone reported that Loushan Village was carrying out feudal and superstitious activities.

Then I went over to take a look today and discovered an important problem.

That's the situation in Loushan Village. Why didn't anyone come and report it?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the members in the meeting room, especially Li Anming, who was in charge of Loushan Village.

"Comrade Li Anming, why didn't you report the drought in Loushan Village during this period?" Zhao Kun said to Li Anming.

When Li Anming was called out, he was stunned. How could he have the time to go to the countryside during this period?

The house is in a mess now! After months of drought, he has been working at home, trying to irrigate the crops in the fields.

Now that his name was called, he hesitated for a long time as he looked for it.

"Okay, sit down! I want to tell you something very important now. This matter concerns the life and death of all the people in our commune." Zhao Kun said this with a very serious look.

"Secretary Zhao, please continue. What's the matter?" The deputy secretary sitting next to Secretary Zhao asked quickly.

"Yeah!" Zhao Kun nodded, then he took a deep breath, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then slowly said: "This is what happened.

Today, someone reported that Loushan Village was engaging in feudal and superstitious activities, so I followed them to Loushan Village.

I obviously discovered a problem, that is, although the sun was still shining brightly here, the surrounding trees and grass were beginning to wither.

But when I and those people arrived at Loushan Village, we discovered.

The ground in Loushan Village was damp, and dew was clearly visible on the leaves and grass.

This shows that it rained in Loushan Village last night."

When Li Qingyun heard this, he asked in confusion: "Secretary Zhao, even if this is the case, what's the problem?

After all, if it doesn't rain, there's nothing we can do, right?"

"Just listen to me first!" Zhao Kun retorted bluntly.

Li Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

“I was a little curious at the time, and we met a child from Loushan Village on the road today.

He said that an old Taoist priest came to the village and cast a spell to make rain, and then it started to rain in their village." Zhao Kun then told the situation.

"Secretary Zhao, isn't this feudal superstition? We should believe in science!

Since you went to Loushan Village, did you see the old Taoist priest? Then why didn't you have him arrested?" said another deputy secretary.

“Alas! This was my original plan, but now, everyone should have seen the condition of the crops in the fields!

If it doesn't rain, the crops in the fields will probably die when it's time to harvest this year.

How do you ask them to pay the public grain? Without grain, what will they eat? Tell me, what should we do?" Zhao Kun became more and more excited.

After hearing this, everyone present asked themselves, and they didn't know what to do.

……

After Zhao Kun calmed down, he said, "So after I considered this, I asked the old Taoist priest.

I asked the Taoist priest, could you please pray for rain in Daqing Commune? Then the Taoist priest replied that it was possible, but with conditions.

"Secretary Zhao, this, isn't this feudal superstition? Do you really want to believe that Taoist priest?" Deputy Secretary Li Qingyun quickly spoke up.

He was shocked and puzzled by the idea proposed by Zhao Kun and thought it was simply nonsense.

"What do you think? If you can come up with a solution, then I can listen to you." Zhao Kun looked at Li Qingyun calmly and responded in a firm tone.

He knew that the situation was urgent and that some special measures had to be taken to solve the problem.

"Uh! I, I have no choice. If it doesn't rain, what can I do?" Li Qingyun said helplessly, with a helpless expression on his face.

He realized that he really could not find an effective way to alleviate the drought and could only accept the reality silently.

"Humph! There's no other way, so just hold it in.

Actually, I didn’t believe it at first. But on the day it rained in Loushan Village, people from several surrounding villages saw it, and the sky was originally clear.

Suddenly they saw that the sky over Loushan Village was suddenly covered with dark clouds, as if they appeared suddenly.

Not only that, the villages in the four directions of Loushan Village thought that the dark clouds would float towards that direction after seeing it raining in Loushan Village.

But it didn’t. After the rain in Loushan Village, the dark clouds slowly dissipated and did not drift in any direction.

Then tell me, is this scientific?" Zhao Kun told the whistleblowers and what he had said.

Everyone present was shocked and they couldn't believe this fact.

But they had to believe what Zhao Kun said.

"Secretary Zhao, just now you said, what other conditions does the old Taoist have?

As long as we can do it, we should agree to it. After all, this concerns the life and death of tens of thousands of people!" A member stood up and said.

After all, it was not raining that day, and there was no river in the village where his family lived, only a mountain stream.

Since it stopped raining, the streams dried up in less than half a month.

Now the whole family has to go to other villages to fetch water.

Zhao Kun saw that someone had finally asked this question, and he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, the Taoist priest said two conditions.

But it is easy for us to accomplish.

The first condition is the sacrifice, a cow, a pig, a sheep, and a platform for praying for rain."

"Secretary Zhao, this condition is simple, but what about the second condition?" Li Qingyun asked quickly.

"The second one." Zhao Kun took a deep breath and then murmured: "The second condition is that the village belongs to our Daqing Commune.

When praying for rain, everyone needs to kneel down and pray earnestly and devoutly. "

Hearing this request, each of them frowned.

To be honest, this request is not excessive, but it is, after all, a prayer for rain.

What if, what if it doesn’t rain after you kneel down and pray for rain, that would be the most difficult thing to do.

Zhao Kun saw them smoking and frowning one by one.

"Knock, knock, knock. Alright, stop frowning. I won't say anything else. I have agreed to all the conditions that the Taoist priest said.

Now let me tell you the mission. All the villages under your jurisdiction must immediately notify everyone to kneel down and pray earnestly before nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning.

Another point is that the Taoist priest said that if the people in that village don't pray seriously, he will not be responsible if it doesn't rain." Zhao Kun knocked on the table and made his request.

Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, he continued: "Why are you still in a daze? Go quickly.

If it doesn’t rain in that village, I’ll hold you responsible. Hurry up and take action.”

Zhao Kun said this in a very serious tone.

Everyone then came to their senses and ran towards the villages under their jurisdiction.

There is no other way. After all, this is a matter of life and death and they cannot afford to be careless.

After the members left, Zhao Kun looked at the three deputy secretaries beside him.

"Old Li! Let's call some more people to Loushan Village to help build the rain-praying platform.

Take the things to the Taoist priest!" Zhao Kun said, rubbing his temple.

There is really nothing we can do during this period of time. We are busy with the crops in the fields all day long.

"Old Zhao, there is no one else now, so you tell me first, does that old Taoist priest really have the ability?

What if the rain doesn’t come? The government is cracking down on feudal superstition so severely now.

I’m afraid that by then our position will have reached its limit.” Li Qingyun said with some concern.

“I understand what you said, but look at the weather. If it doesn’t rain, the crops will die.

By then, let alone paying taxes, there will be corpses everywhere." Zhao Kun said with a grim expression.

When Li Qingyun heard this, he also knew what the current situation was.

I couldn't help but sigh, feeling secretly upset.

If it weren't for what happened last year, we wouldn't have been able to survive this year's drought.

……

Zhao Kun only allowed two deputy secretaries to follow him and left one person in charge of the commune management.

"Lao Yang, you will organize some people later and tell everyone in the commune that everyone must pray at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, if it rains everywhere but not here, we will be scolded to death." Zhao Kun said to Yang Junyi, the deputy secretary.

"Okay, I understand, but what should we do with those people with red armbands?" Yang Junyi asked.

"Well, find a reason to ask them to go to the county. No matter what they do, just let them leave tomorrow morning.

By the way, remember to give them some money and let them stay in the county for two days." Zhao Kun said after his eyes turned.

"Well, I know about this, I will take care of it."

After discussing for a while, they transferred some people from the commune, took the things the Taoist priest wanted, and headed towards Loushan Village.

……

When they arrived at Loushan Village, they saw the villagers cutting down trees one by one and transporting them towards the village.

Later, Lou Anming saw Zhao Kun coming again. At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker.

"Secretary Zhao, Secretary Li, Secretary Wang, it's getting late today. You should rest in the village tonight." Lou Anming came to Zhao Kun and others and said.

"Well, we will stay here for the next two days." Zhao Kun nodded and said.

Later, Lou Anming wanted to invite Zhao Kun to dinner but was rejected by him.

To be honest, if it weren't for those bad things last year, the people in Daqing Village would not be left with no food at all.
