I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 333: Ten thousand people beg!It's all because the murderous emperor has no way!
All the ministers: "!!!"

Thank you, Son of Heaven, this can definitely be recorded, and it will be famous in history!
At this moment, everyone was racking their brains for ideas, even Kong Yingda was no exception.

But this way, is it so easy to think about?

The sages of the past dynasties were helpless, and the mysterious young master Xu Fenglei was helpless.

How can I figure it out at this hour and a half?

"His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling came out and said,

"I think that to deal with the locust disaster, instead of spending energy on controlling the locusts, it is better to think about the aftermath of the work."

"This severe drought, coupled with the locust plague, is enough to make tens of thousands of households in Guanzhong become disaster victims! Among them, those who have stored food are better off. If they live in poverty on weekdays, this time, I am afraid that they will sell their children and daughters and break their homes. wandering."

"For the sake of the people, the imperial court should prepare a disaster relief plan in advance to avoid stirring up civil unrest."

He is very pragmatic.

Solving the locust plague is wishful thinking. How to deal with the disaster after the locusts pass through is the focus of the work.

"My minister agrees."

Du Ruhui said,

"The locust plague is merciless, the court should be merciful."

"The first year of Zhenguan ushered in such a catastrophe. It is a test for our ministers, and it is also a test for Your Majesty."

"If this matter is not handled properly, the hearts of the people will be lost..."

After all, you, Li Er, are the ones who seized power.

How can there be no complaints from the people when such a disaster happened in the first year in office?

If there are complaints, there will be rumors, and some people will believe and spread them!
Above the court, Xu Fenglei could refute Kong Yingda and convince everyone.

But among the thousands of "Kong Yingda" among the people, how many Xu Fenglei can stand up and refute it?

I'm afraid there will be none!
It is no exaggeration to say that if this matter is not handled properly, it is likely to shake the foundation of Li Shimin's rule!

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The ministers should agree.

It's really easy to be a minister in Li Er's place. Several big bosses take turns to speak, and everyone just needs to be the answering worms and it's over.

"Yeah, hey..."

Li Shimin frowned, and said,
"This is a huge test for me."

"People's hearts, people's hearts... I must not lose people's hearts..."

muttering.

Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the hall:
"Qizou Your Majesty, there is a large-scale locust swarm raging in the outskirts of Chang'an, and it is moving towards the capital. Wherever it passes, not a single blade of grass will grow!"

"Many people have cried out at the gate of the city, begging the court to take action to control the locusts and save their crops!"

The ministers: "?!"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

……

Outside Chang'an City, a terrifying "black cloud" buzzed.

When Li Shimin led all the civil and military officials to the city gate, there were already thousands of people kneeling at the gate.

"Master, Master Qingtian! Please help me, the crops are about to be eaten up!"

"Woooooooo..."

"God damn locust, god damn God! Why are you doing this to me..."

"It's all the emperor's fault, everything is the emperor's fault! Last year was smooth sailing, why is there such a big disaster this year? It's all the fault of the emperor..."

"Shut up! Are you going to die?"

"Fate? After this locust plague, how can I survive? The whole family will have to beg for food, and they will all be beggars!"

"..."

Listening to the cries of the people, feeling their despair and resentment, all the officials were silent.

Li Shimin's face was also a little ugly.

Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.

When the common people can't survive, they don't care how old your emperor is.

Willing to cut himself to pieces, dare to pull the emperor off his horse!What's wrong with scolding you now?
"Master, is that a locust?"

Li Lizhi looked at the "black clouds" in the sky in the distance, and said in horror,

"very scary!"

"Are they going to eat us?"

It was an emergency, and these little brats were not used at all, but after Xu Fenglei thought about it, he decided to bring them all.

Natural disasters are something that everyone experiences in their life.

Take a look, you can also increase your experience, and you can more clearly feel how miserable the people are under the ravages of disasters.

The biggest problem with the second and third generations of royal families is that they are rich and raised in the hands of women in deep palaces. They don't know the sufferings of the world and don't understand the difficulties of the common people.

"Will do."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"The locust thing is crazy, but it will eat anything."

"If you throw a small locust like you into the pile of locusts, it will be eaten up in a short time, and even the bones will not be left for you!"

giggle.

Li Lizhi's teeth began to chatter, and she covered her head in fear.

"Lizhi is going to have a nightmare tonight..." she said aggrievedly.

The rest of the children were also quite frightened, and their faces turned pale.

"too frightening!"

Li Chengqian asked,
"Master, can that destroy them all?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"They rely on flying, the speed is too fast, and the number is huge. You can see that there are at least hundreds of thousands of them in the black cloud. If you catch them manually, you can't catch them all."

He vetoed,

"As for other methods, they are all a drop in the bucket."

Even in the later 21st century, once a large-scale locust plague is formed, it will be difficult to eradicate it. Even with a flamethrower, you will not be able to eradicate them all!
Although the scale of the ancient locust plague was not that large, there were few locust extermination tools available.

"Hundreds of thousands, wouldn't it be good to mobilize 10 people to catch them?"

Li Ke said innocently,

"It's like dispatching an army, let everyone catch one, won't they all be caught?"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, and everyone catches one?
What a mess!

"Li Ke, you are whimsical again!"

Li Tai retorted,
"Do you know how much food and grass the hundreds of thousands of troops need a day? You tell them to gather and catch locusts?"

"Also, if the locusts gather together, even if tens of thousands of people are mobilized to catch them, it will still be crowded. There are only a few who can get close to the locust swarm, and the rest are just foils."

"You're so stupid, you can't talk more than your head!"

Li Ke: "￥%...&*#!!!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight if they disagreed, Li Chengqian immediately squeezed between the two to appease the two younger brothers who had different personalities.

Although Li Ke's thoughts were naive, a flash of light flashed in Xu Fenglei's mind!
"Mobile manpower..."

He rubbed his chin, murmured thoughtfully,
"Ke'er is talking about the same idea. It is unrealistic to use the army. The price is too high. The daily food consumption is hundreds of thousands of tons. They will eat without locusts..."

"If the common people can spontaneously catch locusts, it may be somewhat effective..."

"But how do you mobilize their enthusiasm?"

Thinking about it, Xu Fenglei's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Snapped!
He snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
"I have an idea!"
