Chapter 404: The Locust Plague
"This dynasty has only been established for decades, regardless of whether Qi Gongzi's parents are alive or not, the birth household registration files of Qi Gongzi's parents should be established in the previous dynasty, if they have died in the previous dynasty, then there is no new household registration in this dynasty, only Qi Gongzi's." Xiao Lin said slowly.
And the previous dynasty and the present dynasty are not a smooth inheritance, and there has been war in the middle, and many things have disappeared in the war and disappeared.
Xiao Lin didn't dare to say this, but he just had to trace it back to the source, it was too troublesome, and many things had to start from the previous dynasty.
The emperor thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I can't find it out if I look into it again, there is no need to investigate." ”
Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but if you really want to talk about the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, if any sentence is wrong, it may offend the monarchy, after all, there are many things here, and the emperor may not be frank and unrestrained.
Xiao Lin nodded, and was about to retire, but the emperor suddenly said: "Your martial arts are good, Zhou Fang used to be your boss." ”
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Those who can enter the capital guard, Wen Taowu is not bad, after all, it is the last line of defense in front of you, the emperor, but Weichen is not as good as Lord Zhou." ”
"This matter was done meticulously, Zhou Fang was promoted, and his position is up to you." The emperor smiled and looked at him again, "The capital guard is handed over to you, I am very relieved, don't let people with ulterior motives infiltrate the capital guard, do you understand?" ”
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to understand, he was a typical martial artist, and he didn't understand the battles in the court very well, the emperor said this, as if he was on guard against someone, but who this person was, the emperor didn't mean to say it clearly.
This thing is really difficult to do, whether it is good or not, he does not have a definition, after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely let the people who guard the capital are all loyal ministers of the emperor, and they dare not have other thoughts." ”
The emperor nodded slightly, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.
Xiao Lin didn't say anything more, turned his head and retreated.
The emperor sighed and turned his head to look at the big chamberlain, "Is it impossible to check, or is someone deliberately hiding it?" ”
The big maid hurriedly said: "This old slave doesn't know, but last year the old slave wanted to move the household registration for his nephew, and the people in the household registration department said that the ins and outs of the ancestors of the three generations could be moved, but the parents of the nephew of the old slave have died, and the certificate cannot be provided, the old slave originally wanted to accept him as a son, and after a hundred years, there can be someone to clean up the coffin for the old slave and pay tribute to the incense, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated." ”
"Then you didn't do it?" The emperor asked with a frown.
"How can that, everyone in the household registration department knows that the old slave is a person around the emperor, and the old slave is used as a guarantee, and the nephew of the old slave can be regarded as a son in my heart, but if it is someone else, I am afraid it is not so simple." The big chamberlain smiled and said: "But if the emperor really wants to know, don't you just call Qi Gongzi to ask carefully, Qi Gongzi is a jinshi, and he can be regarded as an official of the court, and it is reasonable for the emperor to summon him, and others will not say anything or think much." ”
"You old slippery head, it's just that, it's just a lot of heart." The emperor smiled faintly and waved his hand, because of the establishment of the crown prince, Gu Jianglin has become a man of the hour in the court, and if he makes a wrong step, he will be watched by thousands of people.
What's more, for so many years, the estrangement between their father and son is not shallow, and now that Gu Jianglin has returned to the court, there are many speculations from people with ulterior motives, so he can't let Gu Jianglin have any problems at this time, he is the prince he has selected, which is very different from before.
The big chamberlain smiled and nodded, "In a few days, it will be the ancestor worship ceremony, and when the time comes, the emperor's ancestors and ancestors will have spirits in the sky, and they will also think that this prince is good." 7 asked
The emperor sighed lightly, and only said after a long time: "I only hope that I will be able to suffer less times in hell in the future." ”
The big chamberlain was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The crown prince's affairs are ready, and it is only more than half a month before the autumn harvest arrives, and this year's grain is ripe faster than last year's, but it is only half a month, and the harvest is just as fast.
Unexpectedly, the food has not yet been received, and there is another locust plague in the capital.
Overnight, a large number of locusts swept by, leaving no leaves, and ruined a lot of crops and grain.
Gu Jianglin went to see the news as soon as he saw it, the situation was much more complicated than he imagined, and a large amount of grain was ruined.
Xu Buzhi looked into the distance, sighed and said: "Now the locusts are still in the capital, and when the time comes, the grain here will be eaten up, maybe it will fly to the south, the locusts will live for such a season, and they will waste the grain, which is really hateful." ”
Gu Jianglin frowned, "Last year, there was a flood, I originally thought that this year's autumn harvest would be much better, but I never expected that there would be a locust plague again, I'm afraid, a lot of people will die." ”
"If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone." Xu Buzhi said in a deep voice: "The fifth prince has this ability, but now is the critical moment, if he doesn't do it well, he will attract the emperor's suspicion, so he has to sum it up." ”
"How else can the food matter be summed up? Do you want to ask for help from Qingyu Pavilion? Qi Gongzi can help us so much. Gu Jianglin shook his head, "But things have to be seen from the root, now the most important thing is to exterminate the locusts, looking at the degree of food erosion, the swarm of locusts is not very large, but it is also enough to have a certain threat, last year's grain harvest was poor, and a lot of grain was sown in the treasury, and this year it will only be able to harvest once, so as to relieve the pressure, although a lot of grain is planted in the south, but the wheat here can not be wasted." ”
"You want to get rid of locusts? But this thing flies fast and reproduces very quickly. Xu didn't know how to sigh.
Gu Jianglin looked around, "You ordered people to make some nets, the nets should also be smaller, smaller than the little thumb, and then make some more hooks on them, it is difficult to get in front of these crops, you must block the road to the south, catch as much as you can, and then feed the chickens and ducks." ”
"This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause." Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and said.
"It's almost the harvest season, the crops are ripe, and the harvest is just like this within half a month, as long as you can survive this half month, when the weather is colder, these locusts will naturally disappear." Gu Jianglin said in a deep voice: "Now the locust swarm is too huge, there is not a single inch of grass left everywhere, the only thing that can be done now is this, as long as it can slow down the speed of the locust sweep, at least the food in the south does not have to worry, I believe Miss Xi, the food she let us see is only a small part, and there are more, and the court will buy it at a price." ”
Xu Buzhi nodded, "Miss Xi has really suffered for us this time." ”
"If it weren't for Miss Xi's poor health, I would have wanted to bring her to the capital." Gu Jianglin smiled.
"Prince Feng, that's a national event, when the time comes, there will be a banquet in the palace and a celebration outside the palace, everything will be won't be less, Miss Xi hasn't seen this, maybe she will find it fun." Gu Jianglin smiled, "What's more, I owe her too much this time, if she can come to the capital, I will definitely try my best to make up for her." ”
Xu Buzhi smiled, "For Miss Xi, many things are like dung, and she doesn't care." ”
