Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Yang Zuans inquiry made Li Wangyou hesitate for a while, and finally decided to warn Yang Zuan about the locust plague.

If the government can come forward to eradicate locusts, the locust plague is not terrifying. If the plague of locusts can be eliminated one day earlier, there will be fewer Great Tang people to starve to death.

“Magistrate, today you came to Dingzhou Village from the County Official. Did you see anything unusual on the road?”

“Unusual? Ziyou what do you mean? “Yang Zuan didn’t understand what Li Wangyou’s question meant.

“In the field, doesn’t Magicstrate think that there are so many locust larvae in the field this year?”

The words of Li Wangyou made the complexions of Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao serious.

“Ziyou, are you worried that there will be a locust plague this year? You reserve the food?”

Li Wangyou silently shook his head: “Magistrate, youngster is not worried, but definitely this year There must be a locust plague in Guanzhong, and the scale is not small. The food is prepared by the youngster for the villagers of Dingzhou Village, hey, it may not be enough.”

“Ziyou, be careful, dont talk nonsense about the locust plague.” Liu Xiao listened. , Hurriedly stopped Li Wangyou by the side.

“Registrar Liu, the youngster is not nonsense. Just look at the locust larvae flying all over the sky. Now many farmers have burned incense in the fields and worshipped that shit locust god! Is it Magistrate? Dont you know Registrar Liu?”

Li Wangyou said, the louder he said: “Magistrate, if you dont take measures, I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year. By then…”

He said no Going down, I can’t imagine the terrifying scene of the locust plague in March, and the crops that have just been planted in the fields may be eaten up.

Guanzhong is another grain-producing area where only one season a year is planted. All the grain grown in spring is eaten by locusts, which is simply a disaster.

Although there is a record in the “Zizhi Tongjian”: “first year of Emperor’s reign, Guanzhong is hungry, the rice bucket is straight; two years, the world is under the locust; three years, the flood. To caress him, although the people eat everything, they dont feel resentment. It is years old, the world is big, the diaspora returns to the hometown, and the rice cant beat three or four dollars. But Li Wangyou doesnt really believe the records in the history books.

It is the second year of Zhenguan, and the price of food is three hundred and sixty cents per bucket. After natural disasters such as locust plagues and floods, the price of grain fell to three or four cents per bucket of rice in the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan. Money, this is simply a fantasy story.

Is the rice that Li Er borrowed from the sky?

But no matter what, the March locust plague is a real threat. Li Wangyou can save Dingzhou Village, but cannot save the people of the world.

He can’t save it, but the government can save it!

That’s why he took the risk of “deceiving the crowd” and directly told Yang Zuan about the locust plague.

Yang Zuan stared at Li Wangyou earnestly for a few seconds before sighed then said: “What Ziyou said, how can I not understand. As soon as the locust larvae got up, the county had already written to the court. , But…”

He shook his head: “But is it such a simple thing to kill locusts?”

Li Wangyou didn’t understand, he asked: “Since Magistrate knows , But what difficulty is there? This is a major event for human life. If there is no way to eliminate locusts, youngsters have counts available.”

Yang Zuan shook his head again: “It is not difficult to eliminate locusts. In “Book of Songs”, there is a saying, “Bing the thief, pay the flames.” It can be seen that using fire at night can attract locusts to actively fight the fire, like the moth. But this is not a problem of the method, but cant go. Do it.”

“why cannot?” Li Wangyou was confused. Since the ancients all knew how to kill locusts, would they still watch the locusts infest?

Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao both said nothing, which made Li Wangyou even more anxious. After repeated questions, Yang Zuan opened his mouth and explained a few words.

“A common people were ignorant, thinking that the locust plague was released by the locust god to punish the world, so they were unwilling to kill the locusts for fear of offending the heavens. The two court princes and great Confucians also did this There are many disputes, so this extermination of locusts has to be considered for a long time, hey…”

Liu Xiao also explained to the side: “Ziyou, things are not as simple as you think. I, Great Tang, believe in Buddhism. “Sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of the ants, love the moth gauze lamp”, not to mention the locusts. Eliminating the locusts is quite controversial.”

Li Wangyou was confused by the words of two County Officials, he It was the first time I heard that because locusts are also life, they shouldn’t be hurt. Could it be that when the locusts eat the food, when the people of Great Tang change their children and eat, human life is not life?

Holy Mother bitch!

There is a Holy Mother bitch in Great Tang!

“The people in the court are watching the locusts flooding? Do they rely on the farmers to pray in the fields to survive the locust plague? Is there no measure to come out?”

Liu Xiao sighed Then said: “It’s against Heavenly Dao to kill locusts, only to cultivate morality.”

Li Wangyou immediately understood that at this moment, he only has one sentence Dang! I bought a watch in 2009 to express his thoughts.

Cultivation of morality means that everyone strengthens moral construction and practice moral internal strength. When everyone is perfected, the locust plague will naturally disappear…

Which one is this? Second, the brain can’t figure it out?

Do you rely on thinking to kill locusts?

The extermination of locusts violated Heavenly Dao. Why didn’t the officials and Confucian who said this go to heaven by themselves?

They want to go to heaven. Li Wangyou can donate some firewood! Make sure to clean and purify them, and send a wisp of blue smoke to the sky!

Li Wangyou really wanted Li Er to eat the locusts, and then Great Tang started the locust eradication operation.

But this is obviously unrealistic. I am a virgin, where can I meet the emperor? This Li Er is what Li Wangyou wants to see?

What about seeing me? Would you like to send a bunch of fried locusts to tell Li Er that this thing is delicious, Your Majesty try it?

Will I be dragged out by Li Er and cut his head?

Li Wangyou thought randomly, but didn’t know that he had seen Li Er more than once, but this guy still didn’t know it, and instead frustrated Li Er several times.

Wait for Li Er to swallow the locusts, the locust plague has spread by then, and the extermination of the locusts is just a matter of obedience to the destiny, not at all how much food can be taken from the locusts.

Want to understand this, Li Wangyou has nothing to say, he bowed his hand and sent Yang Zuan and Liu Xiao out the door.

This plague of locusts, let’s help yourself. It is impossible to count on the government.

Qiu Kun has not spoken by the side. After Yang Zuan and the others left, fatty pulled Li Wangyou nervously: “Small master, there will be locust plagues?”

Li Wangyou looked towards fatty in surprise, and only then did the reaction come to Qiu Kun’s family who sells food. If the locust plague does occur, it will have the greatest impact on their family’s business.

“The locust plague is certain. Go back and notify your father, and reserve as much food as possible. But brother, I have a request. The price of food will definitely skyrocket with the locust plague. I dont ask your home to open it for free. Store grain, but at least don’t hoard grain to make huge profits, can you? Li Wangyou nodded replied.

Qiu Kun’s fat face flushed red: “What’s this small master? Although my enemy is in business, he has never done a black business.”

See fatty reaction like this Strong, Li Wangyou knew that he was wrong to blame him, and quickly apologized.

Learning that the locust plague is about to occur, where Fatty can stay at Li Wangyou’s house, he hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to return to Ch_ng’n immediately to discuss the matter with his father.

Li Wangyou didn’t keep him either, he bowed his hand and sent fatty Qiu Kun out of the door.

On the second day, County Official came.

Li Wangyou and Old Village Head led several subordinates to the river beach wasteland to measure the size, and the county established a collection of books. This 300-acre wasteland was officially owned by Li Wangyou.

“Small master, would you really manage this saline soil?” Old Village Head looked unbelieving. He had never heard that saline soil could still sow crops.

“I can really improve the land. I also ask Old Village Head to help. I need to hire some people from the village to do things.”

Li Wangyou’s words made Old Village Head a little embarrassed:” Small master, its not that the old man doesnt help, its just that its spring plowing season, and theres no delay in farming. The village has insufficient labor. Its really difficult for you to find someone to help.”

Old Village Head Not at all worried Li Wangyou, he had already thought about it.

“hehe, Old Village Head, the county gave me ten cattle, can I use these ten cattle to exchange labor with the village?”

“What? small master Don’t be kidding, the county will give you ten cattle?”

“Yes!”

Li Wangyou’s words made Old Village Head sit on the ridge, speechless for a long time.
