Chapter 57: Xiao Chen's Determination
This can't be blamed on the Tang people, after all, the rulers have never been active in dealing with this kind of natural disasters since ancient times, and the productivity is low, and there is no idea of drawing inferences from one another, and it is reasonable that the Tang people generally can't think of a reliable way.
Soon, these people, who were either very enthusiastic and willing to dare to go to the disaster area to catch insects with their bodies, or put forward a little reliable method, were overjoyed to get the rewards of rolling paper or laundry detergent, which were popular throughout Chang'an City at this time.
The back kitchen was full of firepower, plates of stir-fried vegetables were served with the help of the seasoning of the simple seasoning box, and dozens of pieces of beer collected by Chen Chucai were also taken out, although not everyone could get a bottle, but two or three people could still get a bottle.
All of a sudden, the entire Chen's Restaurant almost burst into flames, and the people who had been squatting here every day could hardly believe their eyes.
Is the owner of this restaurant crazy? Or did they finally find out their conscience and be willing to give them their treasures to taste?
It's rolling paper, it's laundry detergent, it's this refreshing stir-fry, and this new and irresistible beer, and hundreds of them have the worst luck, and they also taste the taste of stir-frying, and taste the special of a bowl or two of beer.
Knowing the preciousness of these things is the reason why everyone is so excited now.
Anyone can see that the owner of the restaurant is planning to fight with this locust plague, and they were able to come in because of their support against the locust.
Therefore, everyone discussed and discussed all night, and it is natural that it is inseparable from this locust plague.
Even because of the large number of people, everyone began to scold the rulers of all dynasties, and the so-called locust god was even more worthless.
Chen Chu has no opinion on this, the more fierce the scolding, the better, and he is not afraid that some officials will come to him for trouble in the restaurant because of these radical remarks, jokes, is my Xiao Chen easy to bully?
The night is long, Chen Chu is determined to go out tonight, that is, to let the people outside see it clearly, support the fight against locusts, dare to go up to exterminate locusts, and if he can make suggestions, he just wants to be kind.
Thanks to the speechlessness and complaining about all kinds of childish anti-insect ideas he heard tonight, he intermittently gained thousands of spit points.
And these spit values quickly turned into beer and potatoes, and about every hour or so, everyone can get a new table of stir-fried dishes such as hot and sour shredded potatoes and new beer.
People were so happy that they almost fainted, and even at dawn, when everyone began to disperse, Chen Chu had become a big hero who stood up to the country and the people in their hearts.
When most of the court officials were watching and fearing, who would have thought that a restaurant owner would be so rigid?
How expensive the value of these things is in Chang'an, a roll of paper is on the black market, and even sells for more than 300 pieces in extreme times!
The laundry detergent is even more expensive than one or two pieces of gold because there is no way to flow out, and it is hotly sought after by many wealthy businessmen and nobles and daughters.
The unheard-of stir-fried beer, no money is like crazy to eat, if converted into gold, how much did the owner of the restaurant spend for them tonight?
And what they pay is just the consistent price of a dish, a bottle of wine, and a tael of washing powder, even if it is a hundred percent of rolling paper, it is only a consumption of 100 percent, and it is not really that much money is spent in vain.
Among these people, there are Bi Fangzhou, who changed to the court, there is a young man with short hair and sentimentality that morning, there are two old men with jade face and silver hair, and there is also Su Dingfang who is dressed in regular clothes.
After being reactivated last year, Su Dingfang was transferred back to Chang'an after a short tenure as the lieutenant of Zhichong, and he had long heard of this Chen Chu's fame, and he was also a rare night trip tonight, and tonight's Chen's restaurant can be said to have left a deep impression on him.
With sharp eyes, he had already discovered Chen Chu in the crowd, and only he could climb the fourth floor of the restaurant from a hidden corner from time to time, and from time to time, the housekeeper of the restaurant would take advantage of the chaos of the crowd to ask him for instructions.
is almost a round younger than himself, and when he was so old, he only organized the righteous army to pacify the township, but he had already stirred up trouble in the huge Chang'an City.
Before the people dispersed, the housekeeper of the restaurant passed on Chen Chu's words, calling on everyone to run and tell each other about the dangers of locusts and the methods of fighting the Chang'an people around them, so that everyone should no longer be panicked and worried about offending the locust god or something.
Everyone agreed with a bang, as if they had been given an errand, and they didn't care about going back to rest, and hundreds of people scattered to all corners of Chang'an and began to hype up the fight against locusts.
The ancients had the romance of a thousand gold and a promise and the grace of dripping water.
Almost all of these people are doing their best to promote in Chang'an City, and although their numbers are small compared to Chang'an, which has a population of one million, they are undeniably playing an important role.
In the morning, Li Er listened to the complete deeds of Chen's Restaurant last night, and sighed with Empress Changsun.
Who would have thought that Chen Chu, a guy who could not be written or martial arts, would be so hot-blooded, and the degree of radicalism in the fight against locusts almost exceeded that of anyone in Chang'an City.
Even he advocated resisting locusts, and this morning in the court, he saw what the officials still said!
Sure enough, in the early days of the dynasty today, the wind direction of the hundred officials has really quietly changed, from yesterday's almost crushing negative force field to today's anti-locust denunciation has an advantage.
Li Er unceremoniously began to issue all kinds of anti-locust orders, and issued an order, promoting Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui as special envoys in Guanzhong, and the two complemented each other to make every effort to promote the extermination of locusts, and the army, materials and their local prefectures and counties could be mobilized without reporting.
Chen Chu, the marquis of Wannian County and the middle doctor, was the doctor of the recruitment, Su Dingfang led several regiments of sergeants as a response, and other important ministers had their own tasks, either to supervise the transportation of money and food, or to settle the displaced people who had fled.
And all the officials who oppose the anti-locust resistance, Li Er naturally will not have a good temper so much that he doesn't care, and some of them are even written down in small books, and some are degraded by time in the future.
Let the locusts eat the crops and threaten Chang'an, this kind of foolish official, don't do it!
Chen Chu woke up upstairs, got the latest resignation, and felt his ears ringing when he saw the fierce General Su in front of him.
, this dog emperor, do you want him to go to the front?
It's one thing for him to go up voluntarily, it's another thing to be carried up by others, are so many officials in Datang eating dry food, why did Lao Tzu leave the comfortable Chang'an and run all the way to remove insects?
Isn't it good enough to have him to provide advice and channel public opinion?
The dog emperor is really annoying, which made him feel a little good, and then asked him to run a long way, fuck it.
So Su Dingfang, who was in formal contact with Chen Chu, had a white face, and heard Chen Chu scolding the Dog Emperor back and forth in the room dozens of times for half an hour.
Li Er seemed to hear the scolding from half of Chang'an City, and wisely did not go to Chen Chu.
The eldest grandson Wuji and others rushed here to explain to Chen Chu some key points and matters to be paid attention to when traveling to Longxi, and by the way, they received Chen Chu's request to ask them to convey to Li Er the "Dog Emperor".
Because Su Dingfang was a bright face, everyone was worried that because General Su's relationship would be exposed, they did not meet him, and in the afternoon, Su Dingfang urged Chen Chu to ask when he would be on the road.
"Xiao Su, what's there to be anxious about, didn't Fang Du and the two of them set off first, sharpen the knife and chop the wood, I want to think about it again and prepare before traveling."
Chen Chu said helplessly, his ***** is not in place yet, and he still wants to wait a little longer to see if the Tucao system will give him anything good before leaving, which is convenient for traveling, can kill insects, anything.
