The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

With Li Fu acting as a "bad guy" and saying "harsh words" before, and Li Chengqian begging behind, how could the people have any intention of opposing?

"Everyone! Please." Li Fu, like Li Chengqian, stood on the steps and bowed to everyone.

"The master and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have all planned for us. We should thank the master and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The old Li Zheng, who was in the lead, bowed tremblingly and bowed.

After both sides made it clear that they had to kill the locusts, Li Fu glanced at everyone.

"Well, let me say a few words next."

"Fellow villagers, after the court and the ministers' discussion, the village heads and youth representatives of the entire fiefdom gathered here today to hold a joint meeting on locust eradication and disaster reduction, mainly to convey the court and the Jingyang Palace's work spirit of locust eradication and disaster reduction.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my highest respect to all the personnel at all levels who have given strong support to locust eradication and disaster reduction work on behalf of the Jingyang Palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the court!"

"Why hold such a meeting before the action? First, let everyone receive education. In the past, locust plagues were considered beyond human control. However, this year, with the court taking the lead and sharing the tasks, Jingyang Palace provides tools, and the tools are complete. With the cooperation of personnel, locust eradication is bound to succeed.

Second, it is also to let everyone see the changes. In the past, there was no If we are indifferent, the only people who will be hurt in the end are the farmers. Everyone is suffering. Now we are vigorously promoting the locust eradication action, doing it ourselves, changing the original outcome, the most important thing is to protect grain.

Third, let everyone's thoughts be touched, the old thoughts must be changed, through action, see the changes, accumulate experience, set up models, let all the villagers, all the elders and villagers, not only within our fiefdom, but also expand to the surrounding areas, with the fiefdom as the center, and affect the entire Jingyang County, and even farther places.

Clarify the direction, encourage and increase pressure, promote locust eradication, protect grain and store grain, make locust eradication atmosphere, villages have strength, locust eradication ability has been improved, locust eradication propaganda has been effective, ensure the rapid development of locust eradication work in the county, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment! "

"Good!!!"

After Li Fu finished speaking, the people below burst into fierce applause.

All the words revolve around three things.

Eliminate locusts!

Eliminate locusts!

What's more, it's locust eradication!

Everything else is nonsense, these two words are the most valuable.

"I declare that the locust extermination operation will begin now!!!" Li Fu waved his hand, and Lao Zhou led the servants in the house out. They all held locust extermination tools in their hands. They came to the door, put them down, and returned to the house to continue carrying them out.

Soon, the door was full of locust extermination tools.

These were all made by the craftsmen in the carpenter workshop in a hurry when Li Fu was in Chang'an City.

Several large carts were pulled back.

Today, when people were gathered together, these tools had to be distributed.

There is no need for each village to have one set. That would be too many, and even if the craftsmen in the workshop worked overtime, they would not be able to make it.

Three or five sets will be distributed to each village, and after returning, let them figure out how to imitate them with cheaper materials.

"Zhang Huan, take people to distribute them, and each village will receive three sets." Li Fu said.

"Yes." Zhang Huan bowed his hand in response.

Then, Li Fu looked at everyone.

"I also know that three tools are a drop in the bucket for a village, but I give you these tools and let you take them back, so that you can use your talents and use the most common materials at hand to make cheaper substitutes. As long as it can be used and can kill locusts, it is a good tool. There is no need to stick to one standard. These tools are just to give you some tips."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, master." The head of the village responded.

Everyone responded.

Zhang Huan quickly distributed the tools. At least three people came from each village. Each person took a set of tools back, which was just right.

"Everyone, the disaster and time cannot wait for anyone! After we go back, we must act immediately. I will also take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inspect each village." Li Fu said: "I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are with you!"

"Yes!"

The response of the crowd was much firmer than when they first came.

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd dispersed, and the entrance to the house was empty again.

"Sir, do we need to take down the awning outside?" Old Zhou asked, standing aside.

"Leave it for now." Li Fu said, "During this period, if anyone passes by here and feels tired, they can sit down and rest for a while, and it's not too much to ask the gatekeeper for a glass of water.”

“Now the whole fiefdom needs unity from top to bottom. Once the people are united, everything can be done smoothly.” Li Fu said.

On his farm, in his fiefdom, it is normal for Li Fu to gather the people’s hearts. Moreover, he did it in front of the crown prince. In order to kill locusts and protect grain, what’s wrong with gathering the people’s hearts?

When fighting the disaster in Linying, wasn’t the first thing to do to gather the people’s hearts?

Facing natural disasters, if the people’s hearts are scattered, then what’s the point.

“Old Yan and his men are already taking action.” Li Fu said, “Zhang Huan also led the people in the farm to do things.”

“Chengqian, let’s wait in this shed. When the first wave of news comes back, we will go to the fields to see it in person.”

Li Fu called Li Chengqian to sit in the shed.

Old Zhou responded, and then told the servants in the house to boil hot water and make some tea and send it over.

“Just take a few ordinary ceramic bowls and use a large teapot. "Li Fu exhorted.

"Yes." Old Zhou responded.

The work on Old Yan's side was stopped, and Jiang Que's side was also temporarily stopped. At that time, Li Fu slammed the table and said that everyone must participate.

This is to set an example!

When the whole nation accepts locust extermination and devotes itself to it, Jiang Que can withdraw.

Now is the time to dredge the river and repair the water conservancy of the whole county. This opportunity cannot be wasted.

Locust extermination requires everyone to participate, no, not just people, but all the chickens, ducks and geese in the county must participate.

Even cats and dogs Even dogs are involved!

If you can't catch them, can't you eat a few?

Once such a trend is established, it will take only a few days for the general trend to be determined.

After catching the locusts, count the losses in the fields.

There was no rain this year, and it is estimated that there will not be much harvest when the harvest comes. At this time, most people want to save food, which is easy to say.

Go to Jiang Que to find a job. The money for repairing the canal is not much. It is different from repairing the house for His Royal Highness Jingyang. The wages for repairing the canal are much less, but at least there is food to eat.
