Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 124 Booming Pass, Dilemma
"Laifu, how are the chickens and ducks?"

In the Shu mansion, Shu An's soft questioning voice sounded, and the chickens and ducks raised were naturally used to deal with the next locust plague.

Knowing that the Guanzhong area also has a lot of influence, and there are also a lot of farmland plants in his farm, it is natural to have to make some preparations.

There are also some experiences to be found in the locust plague in ancient times, such as raising chickens and ducks, and smoking, etc. These are all methods.

"Master, according to Master's request, a large number of chickens and ducks have been raised long ago."

Lai Fu respectfully said that although he had some doubts in his heart, how could this old man suddenly raise so many chickens and ducks, but one thing he did not talk too much.

Shu An nodded, and it should be about the same. It is already almost April, which should be the time when the severe drought and locust plague broke out at the same time.

It can be said that if they had not participated, then most of the people in the pass should still be sitting in their hometowns waiting to die.

Of course, even after he reminded them, some people still stayed in the pass and did not go south. Even Shu An couldn't help it. After all, some people's hometown complex could not be changed even by him.

"Did Sun Simiao find it?"

Shu An's eyes flickered and he suddenly said, locusts have good medicinal value, and they taste good if they are fried.

Of course, in this era, oil and salt are much more expensive than locusts themselves, but even so, at least it can help people overcome fear.

It's not that locusts are inedible. If they are worth their own value, there are some rumors that are unfounded. At this time, Sun Simiao needs to play a role.

The speech effect of this world-renowned miracle doctor is also not much weaker than him, at least it can change some people's minds.

Many people in this era believe that locusts are natural disasters that cannot be eradicated by humans, and killing too many insects is harmful to the peace of nature.

Undoubtedly, Shu An scoffed at this kind of concept. As a person who traveled through later generations, he naturally knew the cause of locusts.

"Master, Doctor Sun was found by guards in the Henan area not long ago, but he said he would come to Chang'an, but he doesn't know when he will arrive in Chang'an."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Laifu's face and he said, after all, this time he invited this genius doctor to come to Chang'an, rather than forcing him.

So even if he doesn't know the whereabouts of this genius doctor Sun, the world is really big, and there are also many roads leading to Chang'an.

Shu An nodded to show that he understood. Lai Fu and the others cannot be blamed for this matter. Sun Simiao has always traveled around, so it is good to be able to find it.

As for when he will be able to come to Chang'an, it is indeed unknown, but according to his understanding of Sun Simiao, it should not be too far away.

Just as Shu An was thinking about Sun Simiao's question, a piece of news from Chang'an also began to spread.

"A big event happened in the pass. It is said that it is not only a severe drought, but also a plague of locusts."

A piece of news that didn't know where it came from quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and it came very suddenly.

However, it doesn't seem to be because of falsehood, because under the investigation of some people, it was found that the source of all this turned out to be from various government houses.

It can be said that this made many people's eyes twinkle, because there are some dukes who have nothing to do with An Xuangong, so the possibility of fraud is also ruled out.

And continue to dig deeper, it turned out that yesterday afternoon, several princes were rushed in by an urgent move from the palace.

If you think about it this way, the result is self-evident, that is to say, this piece of news came from the palace.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Originally, Li Shimin had to make some decisions because of the refugees.

It's just that before he thought about how to deal with the refugees, something new happened. It can be said that this emperor is a little bit burnt out.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't intend to block the news, on the one hand, he justified his sub-father's name.

On the other hand, it is estimated that the concealment will not last long. After all, the customs are not far from Chang'an, and it is only a matter of a few days.

Because of this, the whole Chang'an was shocked by this news, after all, Duke Anxuan was in the limelight before.

"Has there really been a plague of locusts in the pass?"

"That doesn't mean that what An Xuangong said before is correct."

"I have known for a long time that Duke Anxuan is not very human, and now I see that he is indeed so."

There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an, and there was a hint of exclamation in the words.

Of course, many people's eyes flashed with red heat, did they ask An Xuangong to make a fortune for themselves?

In addition, it pushed the reputation of this Duke Anxuan to a higher level. Of course, most people watched the excitement.

After all, Duke Anxuan had no enmity with them before, even if he predicted the success or failure of Tianji, it still didn't matter much to most people in Chang'an.

However, there are still a small number of people with gloomy complexions at this time, obviously in a bad mood.

"What, was he really guessed right?"

In the Zhang residence, Zhang Kuo said with a hint of disbelief on his face.

"Master, the news has spread throughout Chang'an."

A servant said with an ugly look on his face, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

Zhang Kuo only felt his eyes darken, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face, because now that Duke An Xuan was proven right.

Then he kept jumping up and down before, in order to tarnish Duke Anxuan's reputation, but now these behaviors look like a clown.

Presumably, if he went to court, many people would impeach him, and maybe he would not be able to keep his official position now.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Kuo's expression was a little sluggish, obviously a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do now.

The originally imagined script did not come true, but instead he fell into an embarrassing situation.

"Master, why don't you pretend to be sick? Isn't that what Master Wei did last time?"

The servant on the side couldn't help but suggested aloud, with a hint of cleverness in his words.

But Zhang Kuo's eyes lit up slightly, because it's a good idea to pretend to be sick, and you must know that His Majesty has always sympathized with these courtiers.

If you pretend to be sick, then you can definitely escape the catastrophe. Wait, you can't pretend to be sick, but really get sick.

Because if he pretends to be sick, it is very likely to be exposed by other ministers. If that happens, he may add a crime of deceiving the emperor.

A stern look flashed across Zhang Kuo's eyes as he looked at his thighs. He chose the former among the official position and the momentary painful choice.

"Ah!"

Not long after, a scream came from Zhang's mansion, as if he was enduring some great pain.

"Come on people!"

"Is something wrong with the master?"

"Master's leg is broken, hurry up and invite the doctor."

For a while, the whole Zhang Mansion became a noisy mess, as if they were afraid that other people would not know.
