Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Your Majesty, you are really capable of making trouble!"

After a long time, Guo Shoujing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

With only a few hundred people, they turned the entire Tiele tribe upside down, and every tribe was convinced and did not dare to complain at all.

As for the chief culprit, Yi Nan surrendered directly and was killed by his own subordinates.

As the power of Xueyantuo gradually grew, it also went downhill.

To be more precise, Xueyantuo
Finished!

Most of the young and strong men in the tribe were killed, and the remaining one thousand old, weak, women and children had to merge into other tribes if they wanted to survive.

The weak will eat the strong, and the strong will be respected!
This means that it is very likely that...
There is no Xueyantuo tribe anymore!
"It's just a matter of convenience! We've gained a lot from this trip!" said Li Kuan.

It is hard to estimate how much benefit this trip to Mobei has brought to Da Yan. As for the gifts sent by the dozen or twenty tribes...

That is countless!
The two of them started chatting again, mainly because Li Kuan wanted to inform everyone about his journey so that he could take credit for it to his many brothers.

But in the end, we finally talked about the locust plague!
Guo Shoujing's face was solemn, and he sighed, "I'm afraid this is the largest locust disaster in the past thousand years..."

Since ancient times, whenever people mentioned locusts, everyone's face would change.

However, it was thanks to Li Kuan's warning that Guo Shoujing, Heshen and others were mentally prepared in advance.

So when the locusts really came, they would not panic too much. Instead, they would remain calm, calm the people, and severely punish those who took the opportunity to cause trouble.
Natural disasters are far more terrible than man-made disasters!
Many businessmen wanted to take advantage of this famine to stockpile large quantities of food in order to drive up prices and make huge profits.

Make a fortune!
Once the government finds such a guy and confirms it, there is nothing to say...
After conviction, most of the family property will be directly confiscated!
As for those with slightly more serious circumstances, they would directly raid their homes and then put the masterminds in jail.

As for those with a bad nature, there is no need to say more!

Either the whole family would be executed, or they would be exiled to a remote frontier. Another case was that the whole family would be killed.
The men were sent into exile and the women were reduced to prostitution!
In troubled times, severe punishments should be used!
Now is an extraordinary period, so naturally we cannot be merciful, especially when dealing with those rich and unkind guys.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!

No matter which dynasty, the status of merchants is very low, because only in this way can they be better controlled by the court!
Having money is worse than having power!
That’s pretty much what it means!
As for the common people, they didn't say much, and some even felt quite happy.

Pooh! Profiteer!

Live it!

The impression that businessmen leave in everyone's mind is mostly that they are evil and unkind, as if doing business to make money is such a decadent thing.

It's despised!
But in the end...
These are all caused by hatred of the rich!
Merchants make money very quickly. Generally, they only need to travel back and forth to different places to earn a considerable amount of money.

It is even equal to an ordinary person’s annual income!

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!

Of course, I would feel unbalanced in my heart, and in the end I could only curse bitterly.

Pooh!
Those who make ill-gotten gains will be punished sooner or later!
After hearing about the extent of the disaster in the states and counties of Da Yan, Li Qiu's face also showed a solemn expression, frowning and said:
"With the surplus grain stored in the granary and the potatoes, there is no way to fill the food gap? How many more people will starve to death?"

"Thousands of people! Dancheng County, Dongyun County, and Wan County! These three areas are the hardest hit. I estimate that there will be famine before winter."

Guo Shoujing narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of complexity.

When there is a locust plague, famine will naturally follow. Once famine breaks out, the entire area will be affected.

Become a living hell!

In order to survive, the common people scrambled to exchange their children for food!

Human nature will gradually be destroyed as the disaster comes, and in the end only the remaining animal nature will support them to survive.

"so much?"

Li Kuan was silent.

"Ugh."

Guo Shoujing also sighed in his heart.

The locust plague we encountered this time is rarely seen even in a thousand years. If it had happened in the past, wouldn’t tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people have starved to death?

Now it is estimated that there will be only a few thousand people, so what else is there to ask for?
This is all thanks to the emergence of potatoes!

"Your Majesty, I know you are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see that scene! But this is everyone's fate and cannot be forced! You have already done your best." He comforted.

Li Kuan did not speak, but frowned, lost in thought. After a while, he said:
"Have you considered all the edibles? What about pork? At least there will be some oily meat in my stomach, which will help me feel less hungry!"

When they knew that a locust plague was about to occur, Guo Shoujing, Heshen and others of course secretly discussed some plans.

It was at that time that Li Kuan also proposed the idea of ​​allowing the common people to raise pigs!
pig!
This animal grows meat quickly and usually only needs to be raised for a hundred days before it can be slaughtered. Moreover, there are usually more than a dozen piglets born in one litter!

Of all the livestock raised, raising pigs is undoubtedly the most cost-effective!

After all, even in later times when productivity is extremely high, pork is still considered the main source of meat for the people!

In this year of famine, raising a few pigs at home can help to get by for a while when there is no food.

"Ok!"

Guo Shoujing nodded.

The hall fell silent again, and suddenly Li Kuan's eyes lit up and he said:
"What about locusts? They are edible! And they are everywhere now. Wouldn't it be great to use them as food?"

"Yes! How could I have forgotten this?"

Guo Shoujing slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

The authorities are obsessed!

The main reason is that no one has ever eaten locusts in the past, so it is normal that people don’t remember it for a while.

The two discussed for a while, and seeing that it was getting late outside, Li Kuan simply said goodbye and left.

As long as we overcome the psychological barriers and eat those locusts, I think the food gap for thousands of people can be perfectly filled.

As for how to arrange it and let the people catch locusts to eat, that was the job of Heshen and other ministers.

Anyway, he is too lazy to get involved in these political affairs!
The days in summer are longer, so even though it is almost 12 o'clock, the sun is still hanging in the sky and slowly sinking.

Eager to go home!

……

In the corridor that has a lot of Jiangnan garden style, Xiao Yanyan sat on a stone bench, swinging her calves that were as thin as lotus roots out of boredom.

There were some food placed next to her, but she had no intention of eating them. Instead, she opened her big black eyes.

Looked at the door from time to time!
Chen Qian, Zhou Zheng and others have all returned, and the bad guy must have arrived in Chang'an, apparently running to the palace. Du Ruyan and the old man are busy preparing a sumptuous dinner to welcome them!

The Du family is busy and having fun!

"Humph! You bad guy, you made me wait here for so long!"

The little girl pursed her lips, and there was a look of grievance on her chubby little face.

After a while, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Chubby, little Chubby?"

Fatty? Little Fatty?

It's a bit like the sound of pinching the throat, and it sounds a bit weird.
However, for Xiao Yanyan who was angry, it was impossible for her to think so much.

I was so angry that I was jumping up and down!
She immediately did a somersault and jumped down from the stool nimbly, looking around with a pair of suspicious eyes!
After a while, the little girl still didn't find anything, so she waved her hands, bared her teeth and said fiercely:
"Who? Come here! Get out of here now!"

"You're the fat one! Your whole family is fat!"

"Bah! You only know how to bully children, what's your skill?"

She had her hands on her hips, her pink little mouth opening and closing as she cursed.

Judging from the look of it, I'm afraid they have really found out the person behind the scenes.
The posture of beating him up again!
However, after more than a dozen breaths passed, there was still no movement in the small courtyard.

"Oh? What about people?"

Little Yanyan's pink little mouth formed a "0" shape. She scratched her big head with her little hands, with a hint of confusion on her little face.

Is it possible?
Did you hallucinate just now?

Why does that voice sound a bit similar to that of that weird guy?

Can't figure it out!
The little girl didn't bother with such a brain-twisting thing and lazily lay down on the stool, rubbing her belly and mumbling:
"Humph! Bad guy, bad guy! I will never talk to you again!"

"Even if you come back and bring me lots of delicious food, I won't pay any attention to you!"

"Humph!"

Her little face was still full of indignation, and she took another vicious bite of the chicken leg, her mouth full of oil.

This cute, soft and adorable yet greedy look made Li Kuan, who was hiding in the dark, laugh secretly.

"Little Fatty?"

He shouted again.

"Well?"

Little Yanyan's cute little eyebrows were all wrinkled together. After she ate something just now, she finally calmed down a little.

This sound.
Very familiar, very familiar!

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out!
The little girl felt that something was wrong.

She was already a very timid person, and now faced with such a strange situation, how could she not feel scared?
"Who? If you don't come over, I'll call for help! Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm young!"

"Do you know who my brother-in-law is? He's the great general who protects the country! I tell you, he's very powerful.*
"You you you"

The little girl was still pretending to be powerful, her short legs were trembling and shaking,
He was about to walk outside slowly, wanting to run out of this small corridor.

Seeing that the situation is not good, run away quickly!

"Bah! You only know how to bully a child! Trash! Goodbye!"

Xiao Yanyan has already walked to the edge of the corridor. The Han family's guards are not far away, probably only about thirty steps away. I don't think any accidents will happen!

Alcohol makes cowards brave!
She took another sip, waved her little hand, and was about to rush forward, but suddenly a black shadow appeared.

It blocked the way directly!

"Ah! Uncle Yi, help! There are bad guys!"

The little girl was not stupid. She immediately opened her mouth and started shouting in a baby voice. But soon, a gentle voice sounded:
"Sister Yan, what happened to you yesterday? You look flustered? Did you do something wrong?"

This sound...
"Brother-in-law?!"

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly raised her head and looked over. What she saw was...
It’s that familiar face!

A smiling face!
His eyes were full of interest!
"Oh hoo! Brother-in-law!"

Although I had many thoughts before, but the moment I actually saw it,
Xiao Yanyan's body is still very honest!

She ran over with her short legs, then hugged his thighs and kicked her calves, and climbed up!
Just like a sloth.
Hanging on Li Qiu's neck!
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! You are finally back!"

The eyes are as white as lacquer and as delicate as jade!
She was all smiles, and spoke in a sweet and innocent way, with bubbles constantly blowing out of her mouth, but the look in her eyes…
But with a bit of cunning!

"Hahaha! Sister Yan, did you miss me?"

Li Kuan reached out his hand, hugged the girl, and moved his face closer.

He rubbed her chubby face and smiled.

"Giggle!"

The little girl didn't answer, she just giggled because of the teasing. Her silver bell-like laughter made Han Yi and others who were not far away worried...
I also breathed a sigh of relief!

Just now I heard the second young lady shouting for help and thought something had happened, but I never expected that it was the son-in-law who came back. Of course, there is nothing to worry about!

The group of people smiled at each other and did not go over to disturb them. They continued to inspect the Han Mansion!

After playing for a while, Xiao Yuanyuan finally calmed down. Seeing the familiar face, she ignored the faint fishy smell on him.
Silence fell!
She clenched her little pink fists, her eyes turned slightly red, and she looked uninterested!

"Sister Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Kuan also realized that something was wrong with this little guy and said.

"Hmph! Bad guy! You clearly said you would be back in less than half a month! How long has it been?" Her little face was still full of grievance.

Children are like this, their moods change at any time, especially girls.

At this time, you have to coax her for a while, otherwise
Holding a grudge!

"Haha! Didn't I mean to bring you a gift? Come, try this beef jerky first to see if it tastes good! This is Mobei's beef jerky!"

Li Kuan was also very familiar with it. He took out a piece of beef jerky from his arms and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

These were the gifts presented by the little khans. He picked out a few that looked delicious and took them with him. As for the others, they were probably still on the way.
