The Story of Fu Cha, King of Wu
A long time ago, Yangzhou, an ancient city, belonged to the territory of Wu. It's very desolate, overgrown with weeds and swarms of mosquitoes. Now, it is a land of flowers, willows, green leaves and high-yield rice. Why? There is a very interesting story circulating here. In ancient times, China was divided into dozens of countries, big and small. After years of fighting with each other, people's homes were torn apart and there was no peace. If there is a famine, it will be even more bitter! Wu, like other countries, often sends troops to attack neighboring countries. One autumn, Wu was flooded, and all the autumn valleys we got were flooded, and even the seeds were not harvested. People are starving all day. Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, was very worried when he saw this. After consulting with his ministers, he decided to personally lead troops to the north to attack the state of Qi and grab some food to spend the famine years. One night, he led his troops to a valley and got lost. He immediately sent several soldiers and found a guide nearby to lead the way. I sat on horseback and waited. Not long after, the soldiers came back and reported that no one was seen around. Seeing the sun set, Fu Cha simply ordered people to camp under Mazha and wait for others the next day. He was about to dismount and rest when he suddenly saw a man coming towards him from the distant grass. He felt very strange, so he walked forward with a sword in his hand. A closer look turned out to be a young girl. She is very beautiful, with black hair hanging over her shoulders, a round face like a red apple and eyes shining like stars in the sky. Before Fu Cha could speak, the girl saluted his horse and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" Fu Cha looked at her and replied, "The lone king is going to Qi to raise food!" The girl asked again, "So, why don't you leave?" Focha told her about getting lost and asked her to lead the way. The girl listened to Focha's words and readily agreed. She smiled and said to Focha, "But before I show you the way, please tell me a few things." Focha was very happy when she promised to lead the way and said, "All right, let's go." The girl pointed to the sky and asked, "Your Majesty, have you seen the sun in the sky?" Focha thought she would ask some difficult questions. She listened, smiled and said, "Yes!" The girl asked again, "Your Majesty, do you think there is no rice on the ground?" Focha said, "Dragon!" Then the girl asked, "Then why did you go to Qi to grab food?" Focha was shocked by the girl's question and had to tell her what the famine caused by the flood was. Hearing Fu Cha's words, the girl knelt down and knocked on her head and said, "Your Majesty, we are all descendants of the Chinese people, scattered in all directions. All the people in the world are family. How can a family hate each other? " Forcha didn't expect that the young girl dared to question him face to face. Just before the attack, she raised her sword and cut her down. But on second thought, she must lead the way. She had to submit to humiliation and shouted loudly, "What can I give to the people if there is no war?" The girl said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, as long as you keep the people healthy, I will help you!" " Focha listened with a grain of salt. Thought, the tone is not small, can you help me at an early age? Seeing the suspicion of the young girl Focha, she turned around and put her hand on the ground. Strangely, the earth has opened a long hole and is still shining. Fu Cha hurriedly jumped off his horse and saw that the hole was full of rice, enough for Wu to eat for several years. He was very surprised, so he asked who the girl was. Where did this rice come from? The girl smiled, "Your Majesty, I am a subject at your feet. This kind of rice is collected from the ground and stored here every year after harvesting. I'll give it to you now! " After that, the girl turned into a clam mold and skipped away. Fu Cha suddenly realized that he was moved to kneel in the direction of Toad's climb, dismissed the idea of attacking Qi, and ordered the soldiers to move the rice out, except for some seeds, all of which were distributed to the people for famine. Wu and his soldiers stayed where they were, reclaiming wasteland and planting farmland. Within a few years, Wu became rich and powerful.
