Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 134 Beware

"Third Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to discuss with me about drinking water in the village?" After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Yi supported Third Uncle and said with a smile, "Why don't we just walk around and have a look? How about taking a well there?"

"Okay, this matter has to be done immediately, it won't work if it's too late!" The third uncle hurriedly nodded along, and then the two walked slowly towards Zhuangkou.

The two walked very slowly, not because the sky was getting dark, but because the road was really difficult. If Zhang Yi was alone, it would be relatively easy, but with a third uncle who was not easy to walk, the speed would not be much faster than a snail .

When half a stick of incense was gone, the third uncle looked at the fireworks all over the village, then stopped, and asked Zhang Yi: "Master, are you looking for this old man?"

As a person who has lived long enough, he knew that Zhang Yi had something to tell him when he was in the house, and this matter should be very secretive.

"Third Uncle, I need to ask you to do something here!" Zhang Yi arched his hands again, and sincerely said to Third Uncle: "This matter is very important, and it needs to be kept secret. You are an old man in the village. I am very familiar with everything about Zhuangzi, so I hope that my third uncle can help me!"

"My lord, what happened?" The third uncle immediately became serious.

"Things haven't happened yet, but I want to take some precautions first!"

"En! It's good to keep a back hand. I don't ask who the lord is going to guard against, but it's not easy for you to find this old man alone!" The third uncle hesitated for a moment, his eyes were weak Under the bright light, he became very energetic, and said: "Since you can trust me, then you can tell me, as long as you think I can do it, you can do it!"

Finding the third uncle is naturally the result of Zhang Yi's deliberation. It is not because he is old that such a person understands the hard-won happiness better.

The most important thing is that if the third uncle handles this matter, no one will know unless Zhang Yi himself speaks out!

Carefully took out a note from the pocket of his underwear, and handed it to the third uncle respectfully.

"Third Uncle, here is the formula and the pattern of making the thing, but this thing is very dangerous, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be killed or injured, so you must be careful when you handle it!" Handing the note to Third Uncle, Zhang Yi Still a little worried, he warned again: "If anyone dies because of this incident, Zhang will support his family for the rest of his life!"

"Really?" Third Uncle.

"Guaranteed!" Zhang Yi said solemnly: "As long as everyone involved in this matter, Zhang Yi will never forget each other!"

May is like fire!

As everyone expected, manpower is still unable to withstand natural disasters. Even though the extensive use of pesticides has eliminated insect plagues in most areas, the land that has been eaten by insects has become devastated ruins.

People want to eat, in order to live, or choose to live, countless people who see that there will be no harvest this year have left their homes.

Save every grain, hope for spring in the coming year!

This is the most simple wish in every refugee's heart, because they don't know whether they can survive the next shortage of food after this year.

Porridge distribution has already begun outside Chang'an City, using the method of adding grain powder and fodder provided by Zhang Yi. Although a bowl of neither dry nor thin porridge can make people full, it can definitely hang people's lives.

So at the root of the city wall, as long as someone passed by, they could see many ragged people eagerly looking at the steaming iron pots under the porridge shed.

Li Shimin stood on the city wall, looking at everything below with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is not worse than what we expected. The area affected by the disaster has fully affected 27 state capitals. According to the memorials submitted by the state capitals, the situation is not optimistic!" Fang Xuanling looked worriedly. Li Er took out a memorial from his cuff and handed it to Li Er, saying: "This is the memorial that was handed over from the Si Nong Temple yesterday. It was originally supposed to be presented to His Majesty at the court today. The old minister discussed it with Prime Minister Du." One click, so it was deducted!"

Li Er took the memorial and flipped through it, and looked at it, his face became even more gloomy, and he saw that the memorial said: The 27 disaster-stricken state capitals, it is estimated that the autumn harvest due to this locust disaster is less than [-]%!

Thirty percent of the grain. Thinking about it makes me feel horrible!
This means that a full cost of food has been wiped out, and more than that, because of the loss of [-]% of the food, this year's tax will definitely be greatly reduced. The most important thing is that the people will lose [-]% of the food. It also means that so much food must be vacated from other places, otherwise, the tragedy of starvation for thousands of miles will definitely be staged again.

Of course, if only this result is acceptable to Li Er, but years of natural disasters and man-made disasters and the continuous provocations of foreign races, the entire Tang Dynasty can be said to be in the wind and rain. Once the refugees are bewitched, it is foreseeable that there will be a world chaos. repeat.

"And recently there are rumors among the people, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng looked at Li Er, hesitant to speak.

"How about me?" Li Er asked.

"It is said that Your Majesty's position is not right. The locust plague of killing brothers and brothers and imprisoning the Supreme Emperor is God's punishment for your lack of virtue."

Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and cursed angrily: "Damn! Let my old Cheng know that that bastard is spreading rumors there, and I will kill him alive!" Cheng Yaojin While cursing, he cupped his hands to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, it must be those guys from Shandong. If you give me two thousand soldiers, I will smash them into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

Li Er naturally knew who Cheng Yaojin was talking about, but at the moment he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

Suppressing his anger, Li Erdao: "Don't get angry if you know the integrity. Since I don't practice virtue, I should apologize to heaven and earth. It's just that these people of mine have suffered!"

Changsun Wuji also stood up at this time. He naturally supported Li Er a hundred times, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are nonsense, and those people are nothing more than disgusting Your Majesty. This time We have been prepared for a long time. Although many places have been affected by disasters, but fortunately, with the advent of pesticides, I was finally spared from the suffering of locust plagues after the Tang Dynasty.
