Chapter 121: Acquire Locusts!
It is even no exaggeration to say that throughout the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been no more than ten fingers of people who have contributed so much to the horse, just by virtue of this fried locust, the horse house dragon should have this evaluation!
"Don Ma, Wei Xiang and Du Xiang's evaluation of this fried locust, you must have heard it, this fried locust does have a vital role in solving the current predicament of my Datang, so I want to give you a task!"
His Majesty Li Er looked at the house dragon with blazing eyes, His Majesty Li Er, who was originally tortured and was a little mentally sluggish, was extremely excited at the moment, the three locust plagues and the drought in Shandong, and then under the fried locusts of the house dragon, what kind of wind and waves could be stirred?
"Please ask my father to command, my son will never give up!"
The house dragon immediately bowed down and made so many tricks, and finally offered this recipe for fried locusts!
"Horse House Dragon listens to the order, since this fried locust was offered by you, then I will order you to promote this fried locust throughout the country!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes are blazing, this fried locust has been recognized by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, everyone knows about the Shandong locust plague and the three locust plagues, but I am afraid that it will no longer have any impact on Datang, and whoever announces this fried locust will be the savior of the new generation of Datang, especially for the nearly 10 million victims of the three paths, this person is bound to be worshiped by thousands of incense.
Such an errand, whether it is handed over to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui or Wei Zheng, the ministers will not have any objections!
But His Majesty Li Er is desperate at the moment, he wants to hand over this task to the house dragon to do, to improve the image of the house dragon in the minds of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and to let everyone in the world know that the princess has a good horse, Li Er has a good son-in-law, and Datang has a house dragon!
"The retainers obey!"
The house dragon was stagnant, but he did not refuse His Majesty Li Er, having said that, the house dragon also knew that His Majesty Li Er, this was paving the way for himself, whether it was for His Majesty Li Er or to complete the task of the locust nemesis, this task must be taken by his house dragon, and it must be successfully completed.
…
Today's early dynasty is particularly strange, it stands to reason that under the situation that the Tang Dynasty suffered from the drought in Shandong and the three locust plagues, which of the civil and military officials of the last dynasty is not a sad face, in the early dynasty of the previous days, almost everyone's face is tight, but after today's early dynasty, every civil and military minister who came out of the palace has a smile on his face, like a chrysanthemum.
"Phew, another group of corrupt officials!" A few victims leaning against the corner of the wall, in rags, quenched a mouthful of spit towards the corner of the wall, and said with some disdain!
"How do you know that it is a corrupt official, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has been holding a lot of meetings these days in order to solve the drought in Shandong and the three locust plagues, and these civil and military officials are busy with the affairs of our victims!"
Another hungry victim next to him said with some dissatisfaction: "I heard that His Majesty Li Er fainted directly after hearing about the drought in our Shandong, and I heard that he vomited blood, and after waking up, he hurriedly summoned the ministers to prepare for our disaster relief!" ”
"His Majesty the Emperor cares about us victims, I naturally know, I heard that our Emperor Majesty also issued an edict for sin, and even went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for sin, saying that this locust plague has nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor, but someone in Chang'an City said that His Majesty's sin has been edicted, all parties are responsible, the sin is in my bow, these three locust plagues and the drought in Shandong, if it is because of our people who have done wrong, then His Majesty the Emperor will ask God to punish all the crimes and punishments on him alone, don't embarrass us ordinary people, His Majesty the Emperor can do this, how can we ordinary people not think of His Majesty the Emperor's goodness? ”
The victim who spat just now waved his hand:
"It's just that our Emperor Majesty is good, but this disaster relief thing is not to rely on officials of all sizes to do, but I am afraid that now His Majesty the Emperor has ordered officials from all over the country to open warehouses for disaster relief, and we disaster victims are finally looking forward to the end, but you look at those Manchu civil and military officials, laughing so happily, laughing so obscenely, they must have taken a lot of kickbacks from His Majesty the Emperor's disaster relief grain, this is our disaster relief food, but this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are like moths, do you think I can not be angry?"
When this skinny victim said this, he slammed the wall even harder!
If Shandong officials could have discovered and dealt with it earlier, I am afraid that the drought in Shandong would not have evolved into such a situation, and even triggered such a large-scale three-way locust plague.
"Alas, I hope these corrupt officials can be individuals, otherwise, this time the drought in Shandong and the three locust plagues, I don't know how many people will die!"
…
Although the temple and the market are two groups that have nothing to do with each other, for the small people in the market and the common people, every move on the temple has a earth-shaking impact on their lives!
The decisions of some people in power can even cause countless sufferings to the people of one side, and a wise decision can also make the local people benefit immensely.
It's just that today's Chang'an City really looks a little weird, under the invasion of such a huge locust plague, these civil and military officials in Chang'an City actually made a puzzling move.
Acquire locusts!
"What, Prime Minister Wei Zheng wants to buy locusts, ten catties a penny, and there is no limit!"
Lao Liu of Xing'anfang asked with interest, now that there are locusts in Chang'an City, I didn't expect that someone would buy it.
"But isn't it, I also feel a little unbelievable, but this thing is absolutely true, not only is Wei Zheng a big man buying locusts, I heard that Generalissimo Wei Chigong is also buying locusts, and he also specially picks up a big harvest, ten big locusts for a penny!"
Lao Wang, who sells vegetables, squats at the door, there are many officials and nobles in Chang'an City, and the population is even more than one million, Lao Wang's vegetable business has always been very good, but since the locust plague came, let alone vegetables, even the vegetable roots were eaten by these damn locusts, and Lao Wang was semi-unemployed.
"For a penny, ten big locusts won't be enough, right? How big is that? ”
"But isn't it, I really can't figure it out, what's the use of these people buying locusts, can they still eat him?"
"Hehe, aren't you kidding? Locusts are pests, and who dares to eat locusts? ”
