Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 197
"Your Majesty, Marquis of Shanyang County, Shuo Governor Shi Sun Zhengming seeks an audience."

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin, who was discussing government affairs with Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, was interrupted by Wang Deyong.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a fifth-rank official like Sun Xiangfu to interrupt Li Shimin's work, but Sun Xiangfu said a reason why Wang Deyong had to pass it on.

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him displeasedly, Wang Deyong hurriedly said, "He said, is there a way to prevent the plague?"

"Is there a way to prevent the plague?" The four people in the imperial study asked Wang Deyong almost at the same time.

"This is what Sun Changshi himself said." Wang Deyong replied with a bow.

"Quick pass."

Li Shimin's expression turned 180 degrees. If someone said this, Li Shimin might not believe it, but Sun Xiangfu is a person who can always surprise him.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu was brought into the imperial study by Wang Deyong. After a ceremony, before Li Shimin asked any questions, Sun Xiangfu spoke first, "Your Majesty, I ask you to revoke the chaos and let the people hunt and kill locusts to suppress the plague of locusts." spread further."

"Reckless order? When did I issue a rebellious order?" Before Li Shimin could speak, he was choked by Sun Xiangfu's words. This kid came here with anger!
"Forbidding the people to hunt and kill locusts is a disorderly order. Your Majesty, Guanzhong is not the only place in this world. When the plants in Guanzhong are eaten up by locusts, they will spread to the surrounding areas of Guanzhong, harming more people. Your Majesty's order, If you don't think about the common people in the world, you will be indiscriminate."

Sun Xiangfu toughened himself up in front of Li Shimin for a rare time, imitating Wei Zheng's rigid expression, and spoke out loudly.

"This······"

Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he heard the words. Before giving this order, he actually hesitated, but, comparatively speaking, he was more afraid of the plague and possible military disasters.Therefore, he chose to temporarily obey the words of those family officials and issued an order prohibiting the eating of locusts. After all, in terms of Datang's current grain production, there should be no problem in getting through this locust disaster.

But he never thought that allowing the locusts to multiply like this would turn the disaster that was originally just in Guanzhong into a nationwide disaster, and make those places that could have provided food for Guanzhong also become places that needed relief. In this case, I am afraid that the nationwide civil uprising will happen before the plague is well controlled.

"Your Majesty can't be blamed for this matter. It's because I and other subordinates failed to fill in the gaps, which caused Your Majesty to make a misjudgment. In addition, I don't say anything about your fault. Sun Zhengming, you are being rude."

Xiao Yu stood up and said a fair word to Li Shimin to find a step down. Fang Xuanling also asked at the right time, "I heard from the servant that you have a way to prevent the plague. Is it true? If so, please donate quickly." During this period of time, in order to control the plague, His Majesty has been so worried that he has not slept for several days."

Sun Xiangfu came to the palace with anger. Of course, he was not angry with Li Shimin, but with those aristocratic families who were in chaos. After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, he took a look, his eyes were red, and he was panting like a cow. Li Shimin felt slightly apologetic.

In a sense, it was Li Shimin's protection of him that allowed him to survive in this world. Otherwise, given his birth as a farmer, no matter how talented he is, he would not be able to achieve his current achievements. The cruelty will not give any reckless rise a chance.

Taking the simplest thing as an analysis, everyone can see that Li Shimin deliberately gave Sun Xiangfu a way out. Since he is the emperor, he needs to maintain the court, so although Sun Xiangfu may not be able to accept it formally , but he can also understand a little bit in his heart.

Therefore, he never had any complaints against Li Shimin himself. Even in the death row camp, he firmly helped Li Shimin plan a strategy against the family.

And Li Shimin, who has given enough love and care, naturally hopes to get enough in return. It is precisely based on this mentality that he hopes that Sun Xiangfu can get closer to him, and he wishes that Sun Xiangfu would consider himself first in everything he does. In such a situation, he has the appearance of a confidant.

Men are like this, although they are somewhat clear in their hearts, but they just don't want to let go of their face. Thinking of those dead people, Sun Xiangfu still said with a bit of displeasure, "I am not blaming your majesty, but as a monarch , We should dare to say no to those chaotic policies.

If what I expected is correct, those who suggested that eating locusts would cause a plague must be the children of aristocratic families who have a lot of land and food in their hands, and His Majesty actually listened to these words, and ordered Sun Dali, the steward of Xingfu Village, to be arrested. Do you know how many people around Xinfeng County would starve to death without his organization?

Moreover, the villagers of Xingfu Village catch locusts and eat locusts every day. None of the people in Xingfu Village who fled to the village died. When did the plague appear?Are these evidences less credible than the rumors speculated by those ministers?

The minister thought that those who, for their own self-interest, disrupted the government and harmed the country should be killed, even if they had to pay a price. "

Sun Xiangfu's words became more and more powerful. At the end, the apology disappeared and turned into accusations. Fang Xuanling was breaking out in a cold sweat. What happened to this child today? He was so murderous and suffered a catastrophe in the country. At that time, if you attack a family with entangled influence, is it necessary to turn the world upside down before you stop?

"Zhengming, His Majesty has his own considerations when making some decisions. Things are not as simple as you imagined. You should first tell the method of preventing the plague. Once the plague is brought under control, His Majesty will be able to rectify the chaos in time."

When Du Ruhui answered the words, he gave Sun Xiangfu a meaningful look, that is to say, there might be other things in it that made Li Shimin have to make such a decision. Suppress the anger in your chest and talk about the business.

"Your Majesty, I have heard about the plague in Weinan. It is smallpox. The smallpox that grows on the body can be inoculated into people, and it may help people fight the smallpox virus."

"Cow? Vaccination?"

Ok!Those sitting here are not medical officers. Of course, even if they are medical officers, they may not be able to understand what Sun Xiangfu said. The bosses staring at Sun Xiangfu suspiciously.

"Uh, well, I accidentally discovered that most of the smallpox in humans will die, but the cows will not die after giving birth to smallpox. This proves that there is an ingredient in the cow that can resist smallpox, so I want to use this kind of cow's The ability to resist smallpox, to help people defend against smallpox, although this method has not been practically applied, but I think it is very feasible."

Everyone sitting here knows that Sun Xiangfu is proficient in medical skills. After all, Lingnan's treatment of pot belly disease is his prescription and strategy. The killing caused such a big incident, and some details of Sun Xiangfu's treatment of sword wounds have also been spread. Later, Li Chunfeng passed on the complete set of his wound suturing techniques to the Imperial Medical Office. Therefore, he said that he thought it was feasible, and everyone still thought it was somewhat credible.

"Find someone to test it as soon as possible. If this method can really prevent people from smallpox, I forgive you for being rude today. In addition, write a detailed memorial to me about the follow-up events in Luoyang, and step down first! "Li Shimin didn't seem to want to talk to Sun Xiangfu any more, and after a few confessions, he wanted to send him away.

"Well, Your Majesty, it is forbidden to kill locusts and Sun Dali..."

"I will not lift this order for the time being. Sun Dali will be in prison for a few more days, but you can organize the hunt in private. I know you have a way. Before the things I arranged have not come to fruition, you are not allowed to do it with great fanfare." , if you don’t like the suffering of those people, you can help them yourself.”

Li Shimin made it so obvious that he was telling Sun Xiangfu that Chang'an had made a big move, and it was too big for Sun Xiangfu to participate in. For such a terrible thing, Sun Xiangfu would like to hide away, bow After saluting, he hastily withdrew from the Imperial Study Room.

Why did Sun Xiangfu come to Chang'an in a hurry, so he left Chang'an in such a hurry, a monster will come out in a national disaster, who is this monster, Sun Xiangfu, who has little history books, doesn't know, but now he only wants to save more people.

After returning to Xingfu Village, he immediately expanded the scope of relief. Within two days, Sun Xiangfu divided the disaster victims within tens of miles of Xingfu Village into several large areas and managed them. At this time, Li Chunfeng finally They found several buffaloes with smallpox in the epidemic area and came to Xingfu Village.

　The fifth is to present, the monthly ticket, the recommendation ticket, and the tip are all floating up. After an all-night train, I am not tired, and you should not rest, thank you.
