Chapter 289 Borrowing The Heavy Rain From The North

"The severity of this drought is no longer an ordinary drought, so ordinary methods of asking for rain will naturally not work."

"And this time it's not just your Green Vine area that's affected by the disaster. The surrounding cities are also suffering from varying degrees of drought. According to Pindao's estimation, this process will continue for at least a month."

In the office, as Yang Lin spoke, everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

"So not only are we asking for rain, but we are also asking for water."

"Borrow water?"

Upon hearing these two words, everyone in the conference room instantly became confused.

"Taoist Yang, where can we borrow water?"

"We can't just borrow water from the north and bring it to the south. The journey in between is too long."

"There must be a shortage of water in the north now."

"Yes, let's not talk about the cost. It is not that difficult to implement."

"There are no nearby cities that can lend us water."

In the face of everyone's doubts, Yang Lin remained calm. After looking around for a week, he finally fixed his sights on Zhang Zhi, the head of the Meteorological Bureau.

"Director Zhang, Pindao calculated a few days ago that there will be widespread heavy rainfall in the north in the next few days. You should also know this news."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi himself nodded after reacting for a while.

"There is such a thing. According to the forecast of the General Meteorological Administration, there will be heavy rains in the northern part of Longguo in the next week."

"The General Meteorological Administration has issued a flood warning."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

"Hey, it's really a drought and a flood. If only half of the heavy rain in the north could be diverted to our side, our drought would be solved."

But soon he felt that what he said was a bit funny.

No one can control whether it rains, how much it rains, and where it rains.

If we could control it, there wouldn't be so many natural disasters.

But in the next second, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly looked at Yang Lin in disbelief.

"You, Daozhang Yang, didn't borrow water just because you wanted to share the heavy rain in the north with us!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the entire conference room was stunned for an instant, and then all looked at Yang Lin.

Obviously they were also shocked by Li Zhi's conjecture.

"How is this possible? Lend the rainwater from the north to us."

"Then this has become the North-South Water Diversion Project."

"This is no less difficult than cutting off Mount Everest and throwing it into the Pacific Ocean."

"But don't tell me yet, if it can really be done, it will really be a good thing that has the best of both worlds."

"Indeed, it not only alleviates the flood disaster in the north, but also solves the drought here."

"But can this be done?"

Obviously, everyone is still beating the drum at this moment.

Until Yang Lin spoke again.

"Director Li is right. This is Pindao's idea, to borrow the rainwater from the north to the south."

"Of course, besides this method, there is another way."

"what way?"

Everyone was curious again.

"The second method is to have another typhoon. In this way, the typhoon can bring a lot of water vapor from the sea, and the difficulty of finding rain can be reduced a lot."

"ah?"

For a moment, everyone in the office couldn't tell whether Yang Lin was joking or serious.

I have seen people keep away typhoons, but I have never seen people actively provoke typhoons.

When they thought about the damage that the typhoon would cause, everyone present immediately shook their heads.

After all, they can't sacrifice other cities for their own city.

After a long silence, Gong Bicheng, the top leader of Luteng City, said hesitantly:

"Tao Zhang Yang, why don't we use the first method."

Although he also knew how outrageous the first method was, there seemed to be no better method at the moment.

As Gong Bicheng spoke, the others present did not speak anymore.

"In that case, let me tell you how to pray for rain and borrow water."

As he spoke, Yang Lin stated all his requirements, including what he needed.

He spoke out without reservation what kind of cooperation was needed from Luteng officials, as well as the related staffing.

The last time he turned a typhoon around was due to the two dragon veins in Jinghai.

And this time, if you want to second the rainwater thousands of miles away to the south, you will undoubtedly need to borrow more momentum.

"First of all, poor Taoists need to set up a large altar to worship God and pray for rain. This is the will of heaven."

"Secondly, Pindao needs you to place stone dragon carvings in the rivers and lakes in Luteng City. This is the terrain."

"In the end, Pindao still needs tens of thousands of people to sincerely pray for blessings at the same time. This is the strength of the people."

"Only with the help of the power of heaven, earth and man, and with the Taoist teachings of Pindao, can the clouds and rain in the north be transferred to the south."

When they heard the first two conditions, no one present had much reaction.

After all, it is not too difficult for them to do this.

But when they heard the last condition, their faces showed embarrassment.

There is no big problem in holding a rain praying ceremony or something like that on a small scale.

When tens of thousands of people gather together, it's a big event.

Not only does it need to go through layers of approval, but it also requires coordination among multiple departments.

Of course, the most important problem is the appearance.

Tens of thousands of people prayed to God for rain together. This would not cause a sensation across the country.

Although there are very few people nowadays who insist on feudal superstition, it will be difficult to say once the number of people exceeds 10,000.

Maybe all of them will be implicated.

After some hesitation, Gong Bicheng finally said with a wry smile:

"Tao Zhang Yang, can we reduce the number of people? It's difficult to get approval if there are too many people."

"Besides, how should we report it to the police? We can't just ask for rain."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin shook his head.

"The three forces of heaven, earth and man are indispensable. If there are less people, the final effect may be much worse."

"Sixty thousand people is the minimum requirement."

Gong Bicheng, who was already looking helpless, suddenly felt more headache after hearing the word 60,000.

At this moment, the director of Luteng City Culture and Tourism Bureau, who had never spoken before, suddenly spoke:

"Actually, it's not impossible. We just need to change our approach."

"It's not a good idea to say "Qiu Yu", but if it were a celebrity concert, with more than 60,000 people at a concert, it wouldn't be a big problem."

"Didn't a star come to our place for a concert some time ago? It seemed that more than 70,000 people came."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in a state of enlightenment.

Even Gong Bicheng's eyes lit up.

"Okay! This is good! Taoist priest Yang happens to be an artist too, so it seems very reasonable to hold a concert!"

"Then it's settled, let's announce to the outside world that Daochang Yang is holding a concert, and he will hold a stage at the concert!"

Following Gong Bicheng's words, all the leaders present couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

Is it really okay to use a concert to cover up the rain prayer ceremony?
