In order to pray for rain, Zhu Yuanzhang took his concubine to the wild to survive and pray for rain. Whether it rained in the end is not recorded in the history books. But based on my personal inference, I don’t think it rained at that time. If it had rained at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely publicize it and record it in history books. Since there is no historical record, I don't think it rained at that time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally from a poor background. He went to the wilds to beg for rain for a few days, and he would definitely be able to survive. However, he went out with his concubines. The concubines were all chosen by him after he became emperor, and they were all from famous aristocrats. The young lady from your noble family has never suffered much since she was a child. She can survive in the wild, but her concubine may not be able to, so there must be a certain limit to the time he can survive in the wild. It had not rained for a long time. If it rained two or three days after he went out, the probability was extremely low and it could be said that it did not exist. So when Zhu Yuanzhang went out to pray for rain, it probably didn't rain.
Judging from our current scientific point of view, anyone who prays for rain is a psychological effect of his own and has no practical effect, so the same is true for Zhu Yuanzhang's prayer for rain. If the weather is dry, it won't rain at any time. Zhu Yuanzhang went out to pray for rain just to express his concern for the people and let the people understand the efforts he had made. He also tried his best to let the people remember his good deeds, which would ultimately facilitate his rule.
In ancient times, natural disasters such as drought and floods often occurred. In response to these natural disasters, emperors generally took some measures to show their benevolence and love for the people. In this way, he can gain the sympathy of the people and consolidate his great power.
