"Quick, quick! Young master has an order, everyone in the village will go to the chicken farm to drive the chickens out! The children who passed the assessment last year quickly gathered at the head of the village and went to the chicken farm to catch the chickens together! Quick, quick! Han Xiaodong , you go to inform the west of the village, Lao Niu, you go to inform the west of the village, Da Niu and Er Niu, you two go to inform the north of the village, and I will inform the south of the village!"
Not long after Li Zexuan left Yunshan, Meicun and Hanjiazhuang at the foot of Yunshan all took action. While other places were still immersed in the panic caused by the locust plague, hundreds of households in these two villages had already followed Li Zexuan's instructions. Self-rescue operation launched!
"Old Hu, why are you going to the chicken farm to catch chickens at this time? Where are you going?"
"Go to the ground to eat grasshoppers! The young master said that there are nearly 150,000 chickens raised in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun, and in just over half an hour, these chickens can eat tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields. Eat the locusts clean! Everyone, hurry up! Let's gather a quarter of an hour earlier, and the crops in the field will be less affected by the locusts for a quarter of an hour!"
"Honey! Can this be the case? Our village has only three or four thousand acres of land. Didn't we clean up the locusts in a while? Wait, Lao Hu! I'll go to the chicken farm now!"
Hu Hanyun moved out in the name of Li Zexuan, and immediately responded to Jing Cong, mainly because compared to other Zhuangzi outside, the people of Hanjiazhuang and Mei Village were much less in awe of locusts. After all, last autumn, the people of the two Zhuangzi both The autumn locusts have been caught and sold at the Yanhuang Academy, so when the locust plague arrived today, the people of these two villages were relatively calm. They only had anxiety but no fear in their hearts!
Almost at the same time, hundreds of yamen officers from the Lantian County government dispatched their nests. Holding the notices brought back by the magistrate He, they began to post them at various intersections in the city and on the villages outside the city. Locust plague"!
The content of the notice is also very simple and clear, roughly meaning: "Yongan Hou Ling: There is no so-called locust god in the world, and the plague of locusts is not terrible, and it can be destroyed;
From now on, the Lantian County Government began to purchase locusts from the common people, for a penny or two catties, unlimited;
In addition, the Tianji brigade composed of 150,000 chickens from Hanjiazhuang and Meicun is about to sweep across the farmland of Lantian County from north to south. I hope that all the villagers will drive out the chickens raised in this village to cooperate and work together to eliminate the chickens in the farmland as soon as possible. locust! "
Seeing this locust eradication notice from Li Zexuan, the anxiety and fear of the people in Lantian County finally calmed down, especially after seeing the news that the Lantian County Government was going to buy locusts, the people could no longer sit still. .
"Let's go! What are you waiting for? Lord Hou said that there are no locust gods in this world. Let's all catch locusts. We can sell them for money and destroy the locusts in the fields!"
"Yes, yes! Call the dolls at home to catch locusts together!"
"Master Hou said, drive the chickens at home into the ground! Let's go!"
Under Li Zexuan's several rectifications, the county government offices in Lantian County have become very efficient. The people of Zhuangzi are moving in response to the wind, chasing chickens, catching locusts in the ground, and tens of thousands of people in Lantian County. , and gradually embarked on the road of self-rescue and disaster resistance.
………………………………
At this time, the hall was also very lively.
"According to the information I have received so far, the fourteen states of Qizhou, Qingzhou, Bianzhou, Huazhou, Zhengzhou, Jinzhou, Luozhou, Chenzhou, Xuzhou, Shangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Luzhou, and Chang'an, More than 300 counties have all suffered from locust plagues, and the overwhelming locusts are spreading towards Fengzhou and Qizhou. The scale of this locust plague is extremely large, even in previous dynasties. It is extremely rare. Today The reason to call all the Aiqings here is to discuss the plan to control the locusts together! If the ministers have a good plan, please speak freely!"
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
The civil and military officials who had just finished the morning court for a few hours were summoned back by Li Er again. Li Ergao sat on the head and looked at the crowd with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the people believed that the plague of locusts from the sky represented the wrath of the heavens, and rumors were bound to spread among the people. Now, the most urgent task is to stabilize the people's hearts. Pray, and give amnesty to the world to soothe the hearts of the people!"
Kong Yingda, the leader of Confucianism, stood up at this time and bowed to Li Er.
From the perspective of the ancients, Kong Yingda's suggestion is not wrong. Looking at the previous dynasties and kings, most of the reactions to locust plagues were like this!
Because the ancient people did not have perfect scientific knowledge, many people had a kind of panic about the emergence of the locust plague, and the ancient concept of the unity of man and nature naturally reminds people that this is the anger of God and the human world. warning.
There is a saying that goes well, thinking determines the way out! With the above-mentioned ideas, the next thing to do is no longer to think about how to take effective measures to control the locust plague, but to pray in the fields, asking these locusts to show mercy. But obviously, the army of locusts will definitely not be as the emperor and the people want. After the locusts have eaten up the food in the people's fields, the rulers who are a little more far-sighted will open the warehouses to the people and let the people. Don't be desperate to rebel!
As soon as Kong Yingda's voice fell, the courtroom immediately resounded with the echoes of many ministers.
"Your Majesty, what Kong Jijiu said is very true! The top priority of the court is to stabilize the hearts of the people!"
"That's right! I also ask the Holy Spirit to set up an altar to pray and give amnesty to the world!"
Li Er, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, because he didn't think that praying to the sky would make the locusts all over the sky disappear.
Seeing Li Er frowning, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, although what Kong Jijiu said has some truth, the old minister believes that the immediate priority should be to promulgate the imperial decree, make it known to the world, and call on the people to immediately Take action to resist the plague of locusts!"
When Kong Yingda heard the words, he couldn't help but say: "Dare to ask Zhao Guogong, the locust plague is the scourge of heaven, how can the people resist?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I have tens of thousands of people in Tang Dynasty. If everyone goes to the fields to catch locusts, why worry about the locust plague? Anyway, this old man thinks that the effect is better than praying to the sky!"
Kong Yingda said angrily: "Nonsense! Not to mention that the locusts cover the sky and the sun is endless, just say that there are many people in the people who believe in the abundance of locusts as gods. Zhao Guogong asked them to catch the locusts, how could they be willing?"
Zhangsun Wuji said with a serious face: "Kong Jijiu, you are also a person who has read poetry and books. You should know better than anyone else that the talk of gods and insects is pure nonsense. Locusts eat crops and harm the people. Pests, the minister believes that the Holy Master should immediately issue an imperial decree, designate locusts as pests, and encourage the people of the world to kill them in anger!"
"That's right! How could a mere grasshopper be a god insect? If you kill it, you will kill it. Can God still impose divine punishment for this?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but speak at this time.
The Zhuangzi of his family is being plagued by locusts at the moment, but he has no good feelings for locusts! Besides, I don't know how many people Lao Cheng has killed in his life, how could he be afraid of killing locusts!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also expressed their position at this time: "The old minister agrees with Zhao Guogong's suggestion!"
In fact, there are not a few ministers who understand that locusts are gods and insects are nonsense, and there are still many rational people, but there is a lack of a big brother to take the lead! Seeing that Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui have clearly stood on the side of "killing locusts", there are many voices in agreement.
"Your Majesty should issue an imperial decree, calling on the people to hunt and kill locusts!"
"Locusts are not gods, but pests, and they should be hunted and killed!"
Li Er's frowning brows finally stretched out at this time, he nodded and said solemnly: "Since ancient times, people have used food as the sky, and locusts have eaten grains and harmed the common people. How can they be called gods? Today? Locust plague broke out in dozens of prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, and the people and the people are struggling. Today, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I issued an edict to let the people all over the world catch locusts. If God is angry because of this, I am willing to take the responsibility of the gods as a human emperor. Punishment, never regret!"
Li Er's loud voice, like an oath to heaven and earth, resounded like a bell, resounding in every corner of the Taiji Hall. Hundred officials heard it, and all of them were moved. Although they did not believe that locusts were divine insects, but today the hall is full of locusts. All the people in it, there is no disrespect to heaven and earth, let alone ghosts and gods! Li Er said these words, in their opinion, it is definitely the eternal gentleman who sacrificed his life to save the people!
"Royal Father! Absolutely not! If there is a divine punishment in heaven, then let it fall on the servants!"
Li Chengqian, who was standing on Li Er's head, was in a hurry when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed.
"The old minister asks Your Majesty to take back what you just said. If there is a divine punishment from the heavens, the minister, the eldest grandson, Wuji, is willing to bear the divine punishment for His Majesty with the old, weak, sick and disabled body!"
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed deeply and said in a deep voice.
Hundred officials followed suit and said, "Please take back what you just said. If there is a divine punishment from heaven, the ministers are willing to accept the divine punishment for His Majesty!"
The ruler loves the people, the minister loves the ruler, and the minister is willing to die for the ruler. This picture of the harmony between the ruler and the minister can be regarded as a good story in the early Tang Dynasty!
Li Er let out a long sigh of relief, then shook his head and said: "I am the ruler of a country, I am for the people of the world, for the sake of the country and the society, I have a clear conscience, and I don't believe that God will punish me for this! Zhao Song, I will be punished immediately! What I just said, it is intended to be announced to the world!"
Zhao Song said with a heavy face: "Old slave obeys the order!"
Kong Yingda then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's heart is for the people, and it will definitely move the heavens! But there are endless locusts in various states and counties. When you can only catch locusts by manpower, when will you catch them all? At that time, the crops in the fields were probably All those who have been harmed have already been wiped out! Therefore, I hope that His Majesty can make plans early, so that all the prefectures will be ready to open warehouses and release food to appease the hearts of the people!"
Li Er didn't show any signs of panic, but smiled confidently: "Kong Aiqing still remember the decree issued by the imperial court last year to reduce taxes on raising chickens?"
Last summer, under the pressure of Li Er, Li Zexuan offered three strategies to control locusts, one of which was to use the chicken-raising reduction policy to attract people to raise chickens in large quantities, and then use chickens to kill them when the locust plague came. Part of the locust!
However, since the locust plague prophecy could not be leaked out, only the three important imperial ministers, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, knew about the three locust control strategies at the time, and these ministers were strictly kept secret by Li Ersan and Wushen, so the officials generally did not know how to keep them secret. The deep meaning behind the decree of chicken reduction!
When Kong Yingda heard the words, he nodded and said, "Of course I remember it! It's just that His Majesty mentioned the decree of raising chickens and reducing the tax. What's the benefit of controlling locusts?"
Li Er smiled, then nodded towards Changsun Wuji and said, "Auxiliary machine, tell me!"
Zhangsun Wuji bowed his hands, and then said to Kong Yingda: "Kong Jijiu, last year, under the implementation of the imperial court's decree to reduce the tax on chicken raising, the number of people raising chickens in all the prefectures and counties in the world has increased sharply, and this chicken loves to eat locusts. Let the people drive all their chickens into the farmland, which will surely eliminate a lot of locusts! And last year, the imperial court sent a fleet to the south to exchange food, and now the granaries all over the Tang Dynasty are full of food, even if the people lose part of their crops, The imperial court also has the ability to save the people from water and fire!"
Not only Kong Yingda, but other ministers above the court were shocked when they heard the words. What they were surprised was not the strategy of using chickens to eliminate locusts, but the thought that the imperial court introduced last year to raise chickens to reduce taxes.
Policy, when the locust plague came this year, Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji just came up with the strategy of using chickens to kill locusts. Why are there so many coincidences?
Did Li Er already expect a locust plague this year when he proposed the decree of "reducing the tax for raising chickens" last year?
Thinking back to the fact that last year the imperial court dispatched a fleet to the south to exchange food, all of this seems to have been calculated by Li Er, Kong Yingda and other ministers, looking at Li Er's eyes, could not help showing a hint of shock!
How can our majesty know the future? Terrible, really terrifying!
This is the minister who does not know the truth at the moment, the same idea!
After being silent for a long time, Kong Yingda felt that something was wrong. He bowed his hands to the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Of course chickens can eat locusts, but last year because people all over the world were buying chicken seedlings, the price of chicken seedlings skyrocketed. The maximum number of chickens raised in a household is only 20 or 30, but each household has at least 30 to 40 acres of land, and these 20 or 30 chickens are nothing but a drop in the bucket!"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help being silent for a while, because what Changsun Wuji said was the truth. Last year, the price of chickens in Chang'an City was definitely the most expensive year in the past ten years. Our family can't support much!
It's not that I don't want to raise it, it's that I can't afford it!
Li Er, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but sank.
"Twenty or thirty are not enough, is 150,000 enough?"
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the Taiji Hall, and then, a handsome young man strode in. Although this young man was not wearing an official uniform, he was very imposing. It was not Li Zexuan who could have done it. who is it?
