"The minister was in a hurry, and he broke into this Taiji Hall without notification, which is really unseemly, and he collided with the saint, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

When Li Zexuan first arrived outside the Taiji Palace, Zhao Song was about to go in to make a statement, but after Li Zexuan listened to the conversation between Kong Yingda and the eldest grandson Wuji, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and said in his heart, this overwhelming locust plague is coming, you have been discussing for so long, and you haven't discussed countermeasures yet, do you want to be so inefficient? So he walked straight in!

After taking the lead, Li Zexuan walked in front of the hundred officials and bowed to Li Er to plead guilty.

Seeing that Li Zexuan finally arrived, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, not that without Li Zexuan, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to deal with the locust plague, but if Li Zexuan was present, he would often be able to check and fill in the gaps, put forward better and more eye-catching suggestions, so as to make the final result more perfect, at this time, Li Er would be entangled Li Zexuan is rude, he waved his hand and said:

"Since I summoned you to the palace, it doesn't hurt for you to enter this Taiji Palace, and I forgive you for your innocence!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Zexuan bowed and saluted.

At this time, Kong Yingda on the side couldn't help but say loudly: "Yong'an Hou, what do you mean by 150,000 chickens just now?" ”

The hundred officials in the palace couldn't help but shift their eyes to Li Zexuan's body, and secretly said that this magical young man, what kind of surprise will this magical young man bring to Datang this time?

Li Zexuan turned to look at Kong Yingda at this time, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou's subordinates now have a total of 150,000 chickens, just before I came to Chang'an, these 150,000 chickens have been driven to the farmland by the farmers and children of Hanjiazhuang and Meicun, presumably there are not many locusts left in the farmland of the two Zhuangzi at this time, right?" ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

First, he was surprised by the number of chickens that Li Zexuan mastered; second, he was surprised by Li Zexuan's response speed, and he mobilized the farmers to rescue the disaster so quickly; Second, he was surprised that Li Zexuan was so confident in the chicken's ability to exterminate locusts, Lantian County was only half an hour's distance from Chang'an, and in such a short period of time, could 150,000 chickens really wipe out all the locusts in the two Zhuangzi farmlands?

"It's... This, Yong'an Hou, why did you ever have so many chickens? ”

Kong Yingda was obviously caught off guard.

Li Zexuan replied with a smile: "Haven't you forgotten that Yuan Shaoqing of Taifu Temple impeached me for raising the price of chicken seedlings last year?" Last year, Ben Hou first bought 80,000 chicken seedlings for the farmers in Hanjiazhuang, and then 80,000 chicken seedlings for the farmers in Meicun, and now there are about 150,000 of these chickens. Not only that, but last year I also found two chicken training masters in Hanjiazhuang, and under their teaching, the children of the two Zhuangzi now know this chicken training skill.

So before coming, Benhou asked the children to take the 150,000 chickens to various locust plagued fields. You may not know that an adult chicken can eat more than 300 locusts a day, and 20 chickens can almost ensure that there are no locusts in an acre of field, and the 150,000 chickens of Benhou are expected to be able to clean up 6,000 acres of locusts in half an hour, and 12,000 acres in an hour!

Lantian County is only a hundred thousand acres of fertile land, and Ben Hou can guarantee that within two days, the locust plague in Lantian County will definitely be basically eliminated! And Lantian County will also become the first county town in my Datang to eradicate locusts! ”

Arrogant! Li Zexuan, who said this, is not arrogant! The people present, including Li Er, didn't dare to say that they could wipe out the locusts in a county within two days, but Li Zexuan dared to say it!

But Li Zexuan has arrogant capital!

Who made the price of chicken seedlings high last year, Li Zexuan still ignored and purchased chicken seedlings in a big way?

Kong Yingda couldn't help but be silent for a while at this time, because Li Zexuan was reasonable, so that he couldn't refute it, which made him sigh in his heart, this Li Zexuan in front of him was no longer the small business of the original Guozijian, he was already capable of dominating the life and death of the people in a county! And this is far from the end of this teenager's future, or in a few years, this teenager will definitely be able to become a real giant!

However, Kong Yingda still has some doubts in her heart, wondering why Li Zexuan bought so many chicken seedlings last year? Could it be that Li Zexuan also expected this year's locust plague last year?

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear in his eyes when he looked at Li Zexuan!

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks this way? A minister like Cheng Yanjin, who is familiar with Li Zexuan, has doubts or speculations in his heart at this moment, and Cheng Yanjin is planning to go down to court for a while, but he has to ask Li Zexuan clearly!

"Yong'an Hou, can your Tianji Brigade really be able to wipe out the locusts in Lantian County within two days?"

Xiao Yu stood up at this time and asked.

Li Zexuan nodded and replied, "Naturally, take it seriously!" If there were only 150,000 chickens, the kid would never dare to let out such wild words, but now there are not only so many chickens, but also a group of children who are good at training chickens, which is like having both soldiers and generals, of course the kid is confident that he can clean up the locusts in Lantian County within two days!

And in addition, the kid also set up a department to purchase locusts in the county government, with two catties per penny, to encourage the people of Lantian County to catch locusts! With the unity of all the people, the kid firmly believes that within two days, the locusts in Lantian County will be basically cleaned up! ”

After listening to the second half of Li Zexuan's words, everyone couldn't help but be speechless, secretly saying that someone is really wealthy, at this juncture when the locust plague is rampant, he dares to do the business of buying locusts, is he not afraid of bankruptcy?

Xiao Yu was also unspeakably surprised, but he wouldn't worry that Li Zexuan would go bankrupt because of this, Wonder Pavilion, Drunken Immortal Building and Wine Workshop, which is not a place to make money every day, Xiao Yu nodded, and then arched his hand to Li Er:

"Your Majesty, the locust control strategy adopted by the Marquis of Yong'an in Lantian County has great merit, and the old minister believes that the top priority of the imperial court is to issue an official document to order the county orders that have suffered from the locust plague to follow the locust control strategy adopted by the Marquis of Yong'an in Lantian County, and guide the people to hunt and kill locusts and do their best to keep the crops in the field!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say at this time: "Xiao Shangshu, the imperial treasury is short of money, how can you buy locusts like Yong'an Hou?" ”

"Your Majesty, what Fang Xianggong said is right, if this locust in the sky is purchased with money, God knows how much it will cost? Since the first battle of Shuofang in April, the Turks have begun to eyeing our Tang Dynasty, and there may be a war between the two countries at any time. Not everyone can be as rich as Yong'an Hou! ”

Fang Xuanling's voice fell, and a big man with a tiger's back came out of the general's camp and bowed to Li Er.

It's just that his words are mixed with a lot of Ming Dynasty irony and yin and yang weirdness!

Li Zexuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking at the military general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he didn't know, he really didn't know this person, but why did the other party mock him in a weird way?

Li Zexuan's heart couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

Li Er, who was sitting above, couldn't help frowning slightly, and wanted to reprimand him, but what the other party said was not completely unreasonable.

"Hey! Yong'an Hou was able to call on the people to eradicate the locusts within two days at a critical time, not to mention that there was a great merit, how can it be said that it saved tens of thousands of people in Lantian County, right? What did you Qiu Xinggong do? What qualifies to be cynical here? ”

Cheng Yanjin is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he saw that there was a "traitor" in the general's camp, he immediately stood up and refuted loudly.

Qiu Xinggong!

This person turned out to be Qiu Xinggong!

Li Zexuan couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he was surprised in his heart!

After Qiu Xinggong returned to the Tang Dynasty, he has been following Li Ernan to fight in the north, successively conquering Chang'an, eliminating Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other separatist forces, and was promoted to the hussar of Zuo Yifu with military merits.

In addition, Qiu Xinggong can also be regarded as a big figure in history, because in front of Li Er's later Zhaoling, there are six horses carved - among the six horses of Zhaoling, one horse is different from other horses, because there is a person standing next to it, this person is not a groom, or Qiu Xinggong!

In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Dou Jiande actually sent 150,000 troops to aid Wang Shichong, Li Er only had 3,500 Xuanjia troops at that time, and Li Er at that time was also considered a master of art and bold, he actually only took Qiu Xinggong and a few personal soldiers to explore the enemy camp, but was discovered, his entourage of personal soldiers were shot in order to protect him, at this time his sassy purple horse was also hit by an arrow, Qiu Xinggong dismounted and pulled out the arrow in Li Er's war horse, and gave his horse to Li Er's horse, and then held his own long knife, shouted loudly, and shocked the enemy's formation, and killed several enemy soldiers in a row, protected Li Er from breaking through the encirclement, and returned to the Tang army camp.

Li Er was grateful for Qiu Xinggong's exploits, so he asked Qiu Xinggong to be painted in the stone carvings of the six horses of Zhaoling later!

Of course, Qiu Xinggong's biggest feature is ruthlessness, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, You Wenzhi, the county governor of Juxian County, accused Liu Lancheng, the governor of the prefecture, of rebellion, and Tang Taizong ordered Liu Lancheng to be cut in half, Qiu Xinggong showed his loyalty, and actually dug out Liu Lancheng's heart and liver and cooked it!

And Qiu Xinggong's son, Qiu Shenji, is also a super ruthless person, and he is the most famous cool official in Wu Zetian's dynasty!

Thinking of this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and secretly said in his heart how could he provoke such a ruthless person?

It's not that he's afraid of what Qiu Xinggong will do to him, let's not say that he is now a prince, as long as Qiu Xinggong still wants to mix in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to do anything to himself, take 10,000 steps back and say, he has a martial arts all over there, and there is no reason to be afraid of Qiu Xinggong! But when he thought that this guy was a ruthless person who ate people's hearts and livers, he felt a little panicked in his heart!

"Qiu is just talking about things, why is Lu Guogong angry?"

Qiu Xinggong's eyes flickered, but he didn't flinch.

Cheng Biting Jin was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Hey! Am I angry? Bah! I think it's you Qiu Xinggong who is angry and ashamed, right? You just can't see that the younger generation is more capable than you, you have pink eye! ”

As soon as these words came out, many courtiers looked at Qiu Xinggong with a strange gaze!

"Cheng Zhijie, you...."

Qiu Xinggong was furious in his heart, and he planned to find Cheng to bite the gold desperately.

At this moment, Li Eryi slapped the dragon case and shouted: "Shut up!" At such a critical juncture, hundreds of people are in dire straits, but you and the other two are noisy here, what kind of system is it? Stand down! Let the two of you think about it behind closed doors for three days, and you will be fined for half a year as a punishment! ”

Cheng Yanjin and Qiu Xinggong were both in their hearts, and hurriedly stopped arguing, and bowed to Li Er and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu again, and said: "Regarding the purchase of locusts, there is no need for the household department to pay money, I use the money from the treasury in the palace to buy locusts from the people, as long as the locust plague can be eliminated, I and the queen and others, even if they are frugal, what does it matter?" ”

The civil and military officials couldn't help but be moved by Li Er again, and shouted one after another: "Your Majesty's dragon body is related to my Tang Sheji, and the ministers are willing to sacrifice their money to help the imperial court buy locusts!" ”

"The minister is also willing!"

"The minister is also willing!"

Seeing this, Li Er couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, others thought that he was buying locusts at a loss, but only he and Li Zexuan knew that locusts for a penny and two catties not only did not lose, but made blood! The flying Huang Tengda of the Drunken Immortal Building and Sun Simiao's personal statement that locusts can be used in medicine prove that locusts have a certain value!

"I appreciate the kindness of all Aiqing! However, I have made up my mind, and there is no need to discuss this matter again! ”

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Righteous and awe-inspiring".

"Your Majesty! The minister is willing to give 20,000 yuan to help His Majesty buy locusts, and please ask Your Majesty to do it! ”

Li Zexuan arched his hand at this time.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, and said in their hearts, Li Zexuan, in order to please His Majesty, he is really willing to spend his blood!

Just when other ministers with meager wealth wanted to follow Li Zexuan's example, they saw Li Er's obviously old face darkened, and Shen Yu said: "Get out!" I can still afford this little money! ”

Two catties for a penny, 10,000 guan can buy 16 million catties, is Li Zexuan planning to "swallow" locusts in more than a dozen states?

The hundred officials were stunned, Li Zexuan touched his nose in disdain, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is magnificent!" Uh, no, Your Majesty is wise! ”

After that, this guy couldn't help muttering in his heart, yes, this trip to the palace actually "cultivated" a competitor, does Lao Li also want to do locust business?

Li Er realized that he had just lost his temper, and hurriedly said, "Fang Aiqing, you come to draw up the purpose!" The county orders of the affected counties should immediately lead the people in the county to drive the chickens into the farmland and eliminate the locusts, and the county government will purchase locusts from the people for a fee, and the counties within 300 miles of Chang'an can send fresh locusts to Chang'an; In counties 300 miles away, the locusts must be dried and then sent to Chang'an, and then I will send people to buy them at different prices by the pound!

In addition, the county government needs to prevent grain merchants from taking the opportunity to raise grain prices, and if they violate, they will be punished heavily! In case the price of grain gets out of control, it is necessary to report to the imperial court as soon as possible, and the nearby state capital should immediately open a warehouse to release grain! ”

Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "The minister immediately drafted the decree!" ”

Li Er nodded, then got up and said, "Okay!" Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, all Aiqing went to Lantian County with me to see if Hanjiazhuang and Meicun had basically eliminated the locusts as Yong'an Hou said! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

When the officials heard this, they all cheered up, after all, some things are not beautiful, and they are only true when they see them with their own eyes!
