A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Han Qi set off, proudly riding a carriage built by Izumokan. It was said that there were many books and good tea in the carriage, waiting to be enjoyed on the road.

"There are migratory locusts on Jingdong Road."

Before Shen An could enter the palace, Wang Yu sent a message.

"How big is the locust plague?"

Shen An's impression of the locust plague was that of overwhelming locusts. The farmers were beating and cursing crazily, but to no avail.

"I don't know, but Hu Xicheng, you should know, right?"

"Yes." Shen An recalled, "Back in Zhending Mansion, Hu Xicheng followed Han Qi's example and prepared a coffin for himself, preparing to carry it into battle. His courage and loyalty were commendable, but he just didn't understand the battle formation. He was blind. Command! But the person is okay."

"He does things quite safely. Generally speaking, if this kind of thing...is not serious, he will not report it carefully. Therefore, I thought that there was something wrong with the locust plague on Jingdong Road."

Wang Yu was cruel, but he was also a little worried at the moment, "I heard that the locust plague was severe in the past. Wherever there was a locust plague, there was always no harvest. The Song Dynasty was about to live a good life, so why was there a locust plague? Could it be that God couldn't see it? Is the Song Dynasty reversed?"

He felt a little sad there, but Shen An was thinking about it.

"Bring me ice water." Wang Yu was a little anxious, "Oh my God... we have had good weather for several years, but now there is a locust plague. Could there be floods next? In some history books, the Central Plains is really plagued by famines. This is Natural disaster... or man-made disaster?"

"There are natural disasters, and there are also man-made disasters." Shen An thought about something and said: "Natural disasters are not terrible, but man-made disasters are terrible! The Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, if those powerful and powerful people had been more charitable, would not have turned into a tragedy that ruined the past. There was a great chaos in the Han Dynasty. So there are natural disasters, but they are often accompanied by man-made disasters."

"What's the reason?" Wang Yu was a little depressed.

He is a very smart person, but he is extremely extreme and often gets into trouble.

"The cause...greed!"

Countless evidence shows that most man-made disasters are driven by greed.

During that time, you can see all kinds of things.

"Han Qi went to Jingdong Road to take charge. I'm afraid he would have to kill a few people." Wang Yu said coldly: "Your words have reminded a certain Song Dynasty official...Brother An Bei, you need to think more."

This guy is becoming extreme again.

"I have some ideas about this matter." Shen An has already recalled all of Hu Xicheng. This person's temperament is a bit pedantic, but not too pedantic. And since he is prudent in his work, this matter may not be simple.

Small locust plagues would appear every now and then in the Song Dynasty, and no place took them seriously. There were only major disasters...

Shen An recalled the news that he saw in later generations. The locust plague was like a sandstorm, which made people feel palpitated.

"I thought about it and calculated that there will be a major locust plague in five or six years."

Zhao Xu also came, Su Shi also came, and the small group's "supercomputer" Wang Yu was activated.

Su Shi said: "How about I go check it out?"

"No need!" Wang Yu looked at him like he was looking at a pig teammate. "If you add in the small locust plague, there will be one every two or three years in the Song Dynasty, and some locust plagues will last for several years, causing constant disasters."

He has never doubted his memory. "In terms of time, the most frequent events occurred in the April months of May, Sixth, and July, with the most events occurring in summer and autumn."

It is indeed a supercomputer!

Shen An was recording from the side.

"As for the region, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Prefecture..."

Xiao Wang started to name the dishes.

Shen An recorded a few places and then stopped.

This makes no sense.

After Wang Yu reported the location, Shen An asked: "What method did the Song Dynasty use to kill locusts in the past?"

Wang Yu blurted out: "In previous years, they were burned or culled."

The method is too old-fashioned.

"Brother An Bei, do you have any idea?"

Wang Yu keenly felt Shen An's confidence.

"We still have to wait and see." Shen An is still calculating.

"Later, someone discovered that migratory locusts would lay eggs in the ground and become adults the following year. So every time in the second year of a locust plague, the government would ask the local government to offer a reward for the purchase of locust eggs. Usually one liter of locust eggs was exchanged for three liters of rice and noodles. .”

This is a good means of mobilizing the masses, but it is an afterthought.

What to do now?

"Bianliang is very close to Jingdong Road. When there is news from Han Qi, the DPRK will naturally respond." Zhao Xu said: "When I left the palace, the officials were still discussing disaster relief with the prime ministers. "

After the locust plague, there will either be no harvest or a bad harvest. If there is no relief from the government, it will be an apocalyptic scene of starvation and death everywhere.

"There is nothing we can do about this matter. We can only provide money if we have money, and food if we have food." Su Shi looked solemn. Seeing everyone looking at him with curious eyes, he asked: "Why are you looking at so-and-so? "

"nothing!"

Everyone agreed not to say anything.

Everyone was a little surprised that Su Shi could not come up with bad ideas.

Could this person have grown up again?

Su Shi sighed: "I guess, how about... go pray to a god or Buddha?"

whispering sound!

Everyone turned their heads and discussed the matter among themselves.

In the end, he probably felt that there was nothing he could do. Zhao Xu said: "The only way is to give money if you have money, and if you have food, give food."

These were Su Shi's words. He was secretly proud and said seriously: "Think about it again, think about it again, maybe there is another way."

"Buy ducks!" Shen An said: "Buy all the ducks around you! Only keep the seeds."

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

"eat!"

Shen An couldn't explain how edible the duck was, but he was rich!

So the people of Bianliang once again experienced the luxury of the Shen family.

Zhuang Laoshi stood outside Yulin Lane, and everyone who knew the Shen family's work habits came.

"Anyone who has ducks at home can buy them at 20% higher than the market price. Remember, there is no limit. You can get as much as you want!"

The Shen family has collected ducks!

The key is that the price is 20% higher than what is on the market.

The people of Bianliang are very fond of duck, and it often appears in recipes.

So the dark fragrance was instantly overwhelmed by the duck.

Outside a shop that collects ducks, a few duck dealers driving carts had just arrived. While the two parties were exchanging greetings, someone shouted: "Anxiang is collecting ducks. The price is 20% higher than the market price. No limit!"

Several duck dealers didn't believe it at first, but after the good guy said it again, two of them handed over their hands and said: "This matter... I'd better go and take a look first, haha, take a look."

The only one left behind said disdainfully: "Mostly just booing!"

After he made the transaction, he rushed back with an empty car.

"Hurry up!"

He met many people on the road, some were carrying a few ducks, some were carrying cages full of ducks, and some were driving carts...

These people go to the same place, secret fragrance.

"What a loss!"

The duck dealer's intestines were filled with regret, and he followed Anxiang with a trace of luck in his heart.

At this moment, the outside of Anxiang was blocked, and someone shouted: "Make a way!"

A big car came out, and the car was full of cages, and inside were quacking ducks.

"Wait, if you wait too much, let's go to Jingdong Road together!" A steward came out to make arrangements. Everyone couldn't help but feel funny when they heard, "Are you going to Jingdong Road to eat migratory locusts? There are so many, how can we finish them all?"

But when the big cars full of ducks came out, the momentum gradually increased.

"so many!"

"They are all there. I said there is no limit. Don't squeeze! Help!"

Finally, there was a small accident in the front. A boy was pinned down by more than ten people. Fortunately, the people behind him stopped in time, but even so, the boy lost half his life.

"Don't squeeze in!"

Wang Tiande came out and shouted: "Old man Wang Tiande, Shen Longtu said it himself, there is no limit to the amount of ducks that Anxiang can buy, don't squeeze... There is no shortage of money, there is no shortage of money for Anxiang, take as much as you can!"

The next day, duck farmers from the surrounding areas of Bianliang heard the news and came to turn Bianliang into a duck city.

The carts continued to gather and then set off. At the same time, Shen An was also summoned to the palace.

"I heard you collected a lot of ducks? Why?"

Zhao Shu asked very calmly, and Shen An said: "I am going to get some ducks and go to Jingdong Road to kill the locusts."

"Ducks kill locusts?"

Zhao Shu laughed uproariously at first, and then said with a straight face: "I have the intention, but this matter..."

"I'm not short of money." Shen An smiled innocently, but it gave Zhao Shu a toothache.

"That's it... it's up to you." If you don't need the money, let him do it, but the imperial city has been smelling of duck droppings these past two days, which is not pleasant.

"Guan family, please go to Jingdong Road."

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, "Go...Han Qing is over there."

He felt that Lao Han and Shen An were definitely enemies in their previous lives. When they met, either you would trick me or I would trick you.

What if this is a mutual trap?

Zhao Shu nodded, "It's good for young people to go and have a look. Only after you enter the court can you make a clear target."

He thought of something and said disdainfully: "Some people actually say that they go to pray to gods and worship Buddha, do they think that I am the emperor of Zhenzong? Ridiculous!"

Well!

Shen An glanced at Chen Zhongheng and winked.

Could it be that the official family smoked? He even spoke ill of Emperor Zhenzong in front of me.

How did Chen Zhongheng know? He kept a straight face, coughed dryly, and signaled Shen An to be more serious.

Zhao Shu was still in his emotions, "If praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas is useful, why did the Song Dynasty's national power gradually decline from then on, with many shortcomings? It can be seen that gods and Buddhas did not help the national destiny."

This mentally ill official seemed to have entered a strange state. Shen An felt that it was very dangerous, so he resigned.

If we continue to listen, if this big boss reveals some big information about Emperor Zhenzong, Shen An is worried that he will be silenced.

Go quickly, go quickly.

Shen An was in a good mood when he thought about going to Jingdong Road.

After returning home, he sent someone to call Wang Tiande.

"I'm going to Jingdong Road soon. You can continue to collect the ducks here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net will send them all the way there. In addition, when the locust plague gets better, my family should donate some money and food, and they will be sent there as well."

"Yes." Shen An has gradually become more dignified in recent years, especially when doing things, which makes Wang Tiande consciously put himself in the position of a subordinate.

Then it was time to tell the family.

"The family is not short of money and food, officials can rest assured." Yang Zhuoxue said confidently: "When I get back, I will ask someone to gather some money and food, and I will send it to you as soon as the news comes."

"My wife is indeed a good wife." Shen An smiled, and then said to Taro with a straight face: "I am going to Jingdong Road for my father. You must not be naughty at home, otherwise my father will come back to deal with you."

Taro agreed, but couldn't hide his excitement.

This naughty kid is so happy!

Shen An had nothing to do about it.

"Brother, I'll look for those friends to donate together later." Miss Guoguo was very confident. Shen An smiled and said, "Okay."

Guoguo had a lot of private money, and Shen An felt that donating it would make her feel better.

Ke Guoguo turned around and held a grand party at home.

The house was full of guests!
