Li Chengqian didn't know that his invention was taken away by his mother, or was it called the right of authorship?

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, a pregnant woman does everything right, and this scope is not limited to the daughter-in-law, but also the mother.

Since Sun Simiao was picked up by Yuan Tiangang, he has been living in Laojunguan.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. Sun Simiao has lived in Laojunguan for only ten days, and Laojunguan is crowded with people who see a doctor or repay their kindness, and even the money with incense has skyrocketed. Burdened by the endless stream of people who see a doctor, Sun Simiao had no choice but to make plans to stay in Chang'an.

However, even if there were many people who saw a doctor, he had to go to the East Palace every day to talk to Li Chengqian about modern medicine.

"If, according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the wind chill is caused by the virus, then how can we see what the virus looks like? Although the snake venom and scorpion venom dissipate after entering the body, it can still be seen when it has not entered the body. Since we can't see it, we can't easily make a conclusion about it, can we? ”

Without a microscope, it is difficult to talk about modern medicine.

However, fortunately, in ancient times, there was also a saying of "disease-resistant physique", so Lao Sun did not directly question it.

"There's really no way to verify the existence of the virus right now, and even if we start exploring in this direction from now, we won't be able to build a device that can see the virus in a few hundred years. Since we can't make it, we might as well look at it vaguely, as long as we come up with a way to deal with it? ”

....

As long as it involves medical issues, Sun Simiao is not annoyed, and he also feels that his time is very fulfilling.

After chatting again until the sun set, Sun Simiao said goodbye. Mobile.. /

Sending him to the door, Li Chengqian thought about it, and said, "Daochang Sun, can I ask you for something?" ”

Sun Simiao turned around and said with a smile: "It should be for the queen's pulse, the prince is filial piety, and it is indeed touching." It's just that he stayed in the palace that day, and Lao Dao had already diagnosed Niangniang's pulse. The mother and son are safe, and, there is a great possibility, a prince. ”

After bowing down to see off his grandson, Li Chengqian knocked on his head.

Think about it with your heels, Sun Simiao was left in the palace by the emperor's father, and it was not just a one-night stay!

Shaking his head, he went to the old man's bedroom to take a look, and saw that the light had been extinguished, before going back to sleep.

It is already the wax moon, but the temperature is not cold at all compared with the previous year. With such a temperature, don't say that ordinary people, even the displaced people in the mountains, are estimated to be able to resist.

The weather is not cold, and the people will not freeze to death, which should be a gratifying thing, but under the premise of locust plague this year, such a warm winter is a bit dangerous.

When I got up the next morning, I was surprised that neither Li Jing nor Niu Jinda came over today. It's strange, there is no pilgrimage, and the two of them should never be absent!

On the third day, without waiting for Li Chengqian to visit, the two appeared in the East Palace together. It's still the same, and the faces of both of them are not very good.

After practicing the sword and sweating, Li Chengqian shook his arm and approached Li Jing and Niu Jinda, who were drinking alcohol.

He was very curious, what could it be that could make the two people who were so moody and angry look ugly like this?

"Wei Gong, Niu Gong, what's wrong with you two? What could make you both do this at the same time? ”

Looking up at Li Chengqian, who was stretching his body, Li Jing and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, and finally chose to speak.

"Yesterday, the generals of the military played together, hoping to send troops to the Eastern Turks. However, His Majesty chose to stay in the middle of the country, and Li Xiaogong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was himself an imperial prince, so he entered the palace and went directly to the saint. As a result, the dignified King of Hejian County, who was reprimanded by His Majesty, was red-faced and fled from the palace with his face covered. ”

After Niu Jinda finished speaking, Li Jing said again: "I shouldn't have told you about this, but you are the crown prince, although the two of us are only teaching you martial arts, there are some truths, and we should also teach you." Last year, Jieli led his troops to the south, attacking all the way to Weishui, and this matter spread all over Siyi, Tubo and other countries, all thinking that our Datang was weak and could be bullied. The Tibetans attacked Songzhou, but were repulsed; Xue Yantuo attacked Longyou and was also repulsed; On the other side of Shandong Province, even Goguryeo, the country of projectiles, has also moved.

The reason why a country is a country is that what it needs is combat power and even combat achievements. Since Your Majesty is a monarch who stands out in troubled times, how can you understand this truth. But for some reason, His Majesty never raised the army. But he didn't say why he didn't send troops, it's a headache! ”

It was supposed to be reasonable, but as soon as Li Jing's words changed halfway, it turned into whining. If the prince is directly taught here the truth that the war should be fought, it will be no different from saying bad things about the emperor to his face. And if it's whining ....

The Tang Dynasty is not like some other dynasties, where a courtier slanders the emperor and will not be convicted of a major crime.

After listening to the whole story, Li Chengqian didn't have to think about it to know why.

It can only be a plague of locusts!

If you want to use troops against the grassland, it will be followed by the consumption of a large amount of grain and grass. Disaster relief in one or two states is nothing to the national treasury. And sending troops is the most draining thing for the treasury. Even if it is a local war, it will easily empty a granary, let alone destroy the country.

The shame of Weishui is still there, but before the locust plague that occurs in the country with a high probability, even if it is a shameful thing, the emperor, as the lord of a country, has to endure it.

looked at Li Jing and Niu Jinda, whose faces were not very good-looking, and Li Chengqian was also a little helpless.

Unlike civil officials, the peaceful and prosperous times are actually the sorrow of military generals. As military generals, only the battlefield is the place where their value can be reflected and they can accumulate meritorious achievements. Each family does not have only one eldest son, the eldest son can inherit the title, and although the second son can also accept the shade, but if you want to be superior, you still need your father to earn credit.

It is not convenient to disclose the locust plague directly.

However, Li Chengqian couldn't bear to see his two teachers drinking here and hurting his nerves.

I couldn't help but say: "Niu Gong, Wei Gong, you two are dukes, how can you have some savings at home." When you go back today, you might as well buy more food and stock it up. Look at my East Palace, I have already hoarded tens of thousands of loads of grain by now. ”

"Hoarding food? What are you doing hoarding food? ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Niu Jinda was puzzled.

Li Jing didn't understand the meaning either, and looked at his disciple suspiciously.

Raising his finger to the sky, Li Chengqian said as he walked towards Li Ke: "Don't you two think that there hasn't been a snow this year?" ”

"What does snow have to do with hoarding food?"

Niu Jinda roared dissatisfiedly, but turned his head to find that Li Jing had grown his mouth, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

Stretching out his hand to poke Li Jing, Niu Jinda asked, "Wei Guogong, what did you think of?" ”

In terms of wisdom, Niu Jinda knew that he couldn't compare to Li Jing no matter what, so he could only ask directly.

Li Jing took a big sip of wine, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said, "Don't ask, you didn't see the prince and didn't say it directly?" is willing to mention it in a roundabout way, which means that His Highness no longer treats the two of us as outsiders. You must know that when this news comes out, you have to bear the stakes. Don't ask too much, don't tell anyone, just stock up on food when you get home. When outsiders ask, don't say that it was the prince who said it, just make up an excuse to fool the past. ”

After speaking, Li Jing no longer stared at the prince's tricks with the king of Shu, and hurried home.

Although Niu Jinda wanted to catch up and ask something more, the prince's training was not over yet, and he could only sit down.

Keeping the matter of "hoarding grain" in mind, Niu Jinda is as good as a stream, and he doesn't think much about it.

Seeing that the prince fell over his shoulder and threw the king of Shu into a scream, he shouted: "King Shu, your lower plate is unstable, continue to practice tomorrow!" What happened to you deliberately releasing water? Forgot what the old man told you? The lion binds the rabbit, and you have to do your best! ”

Li Chengqian turned around, and Li Ke, who fell to the ground, got up, and the two of them sang in unison.

....

As the New Year approaches, the streets of Chang'an are more crowded than ever. Although there are many New Year's goods, the most transported by ox carts and horse-drawn carts is grain.

The news did not leak out, but there was no way to hide the locust plague of the previous year and the lack of snow in this year's warm winter. Anyone with experience can guess the possibility of a locust plague the following year. Compared with preparing for the Chinese New Year, it is obviously more important to stock up on food.

Merchants have always been heroic, and some grain merchants even sell their property, hoping that there will be no heavy snow after the year, so that they can make a lot of money.

The more people buy grain, the more food prices will inevitably rise. The grain that was originally four cents a bucket even soared to seven cents at one point.

While the grain merchants were hoarding grain with red eyes, Zhao Yongsheng and Li Dahai were still transferring grain from other places under the orders of the prince.

The disaster will be the whole Guanzhong, and if food is mobilized from Guanzhong, it will be the same as eating with the left hand and eating with the right hand. If you don't expect food to make money, but to save your life, you don't need to worry about the gains and losses of freight or anything.

Sun Simiao didn't know where to get a little news, and the doctors who actually came out to organize Chang'an also began to hoard, but they were hoarding medicinal materials. Under a great plague, it is easy to have a great epidemic, and sometimes, under the locust plague, it is not necessarily all people who starve to death.

Sun Simiao, who was busy buying medicinal materials everywhere, even gave up the fixed time for talking every afternoon. What is surprising is that he was originally penniless, but this time he received strong support from Lao Junguan, Yuan Tiangang let out a word, as long as Sun Simiao needs it, Lao Junguan will supply it if he smashes the plaque.

"Do you still need to think about it? Once the locust plague really appears, the Taoist priests will be able to attract many believers by virtue of their reputation of helping the world and saving people. It's hard to buy a reputation! You see, as long as the locust plague is together, the people who open the warehouse and release the grain, and provide the medicine for free will not be one or two. Now it is only the first year of Zhenguan, although this year is safe, but many people still have a sense of crisis. Since the founding of the country, thousands of titles have been sealed, and His Majesty will definitely find various reasons to cut some of them in the future. This has been the case in all dynasties.

As long as we grasp this opportunity at present, we can gain a certain amount of popular support. You look, there is the will of the people, and your father can't do it easily. Under the catastrophe, who would worry about whether it is a big sin to invite people to buy people's hearts? At this time, as long as he is kind and virtuous, he must be a good person. ”

I like the old gentleman's straightforward way of speaking the most, and Li Chengqian listened carefully and benefited a lot.

These rules hidden under the surface of officialdom are estimated to be so unscrupulous only old gentlemen would say.

The locust plague was not hidden from the old gentleman.

Although people are old, their eyesight is also a little regressive, and their ears are also back. But Li Gang looked at some things more openly. From some inconspicuous little things, many things can be deduced.

Stretching out his hand to pat Li Chengqian's shoulder, the old gentleman smiled and said, "You are looking for the farm where the old man named you, I'm afraid it's just for this." Fighting locust plagues with poultry is a good idea, but what if your farm is full of chickens and ducks? Compared to the locust plague that ravages a state, it is insignificant! ”

Since the old gentleman already knew about the locust plague, Li Chengqian did not hide it: "You are right, the farm was really of little use before the locust plague. However, after the locust plague, it can be of great use. The disciple is ready to pour the power of the East Palace and buy locusts from the people, what do you think? ”

Li Gang blinked, and then laughed.

Hearing this, he reacted, it turned out that this disciple of his was preparing to buy locusts as feed for the farm!

After laughing for a long time before he stopped laughing, Li Gang waved his hand and pushed the wheelchair back to his room.

It is now the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, but the old gentleman has not returned to his grandson's house.

This year is different from previous years, Li Anren did not stay in Chang'an for the New Year, but returned to his hometown in Guanzhou County with the instructions of the old man.

The older a person gets, the more he misses his hometown.

When he was young, he was high-spirited, pointing out the country, and he was a very popular minister, but he couldn't resist that touch of nostalgia when he was old.

When there was no one in the Li Mansion, Li Chengqian was not at ease, so he simply left him in the East Palace for the New Year.

In the New Year, with the old gentleman here, I can't shiver. Therefore, under the order of the crown prince, the East Palace is as colorful as the Imperial Palace. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are nothing, the most eye-catching thing is that Li Dahai took advantage of the cold winter to freeze a whole decomposed cow, specially invited the border county order to witness it, and transported it to Chang'an.

After getting the beef, in addition to leaving some good preparations to make sauce beef and dumplings, Li Chengqian came to another wave of big giveaways.

Although some families have their own little black (river crab) to get beef, but none of them dare to show it.

Cheng bites gold or something, the sick and dead cows at home are not one or two. So Li Chengqian didn't send it.

As for the law-abiding Dai Xuan and Wei Zheng, I am afraid that they have never tasted beef in their lives, so Li Chengqian specially sent some to them.

After sending the cow's head and a large piece of beef to the harem, the former is used to worship the ancestors, and the latter is used to eat meat, the East Palace is closed.

This year's New Year, I haven't been to the harem....
