Chapter 197: Advice
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shanyang County, and the governor of Shuo, Shi Sun Zhengming, ask to see you."
In the imperial study, Li Shimin, who was discussing government affairs with Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, was interrupted by Wang Deyong.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Sun Xiangfu to ask for an invitation from a five-grade official to disturb Li Shimin's office, but Sun Xiangfu said a reason why Wang had to use it to pass it on.
Seeing Li Shimin looking at him unhappily, Wang Deyong hurriedly said, "He said, is there a way to defend against the plague?" ”
"Is there a way to defend against the plague?" The four people in the imperial study opened their mouths to Wang Deyong almost at the same time.
"This is what Sun Changshi said himself." The king replied with a bow.
"Quick."
Li Shimin's expression was reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, if others said this, Li Shimin might not believe it, Sun Xiangfu is a person who can often surprise him.
Soon, Sun Xiangfu was brought into the imperial study by Wang Deyong, and after a salute, Li Shimin didn't ask any questions, but Sun Xiangfu spoke first, "Your Majesty asks your majesty to revoke the order, let the people hunt and kill locusts, and curb the further spread of locust plague." ”
"Messy life? When did I give a chaotic order? Before Li Shimin could speak, he was choked by Sun Xiangfu's words, this kid came with anger!
"Forbidding the people to hunt and kill locusts is a chaotic life, Your Majesty, this world is not only related to one place, the plants in Guanzhong are eaten by locusts, they will spread to the surrounding areas of Guanzhong, scourge more people, Your Majesty's order, either for the sake of the people of the world, or chaos."
Sun Xiangfu was rare in front of Li Shimin, learning from Wei Zheng's rigid expression, and said against the bull.
"This ······"
Li Shimin was actually dumbfounded when he heard this, he actually hesitated before giving this order, but, in comparison, he was more afraid of the plague and the possible outbreak of military disasters. Therefore, he chose to temporarily obey the words of those family officials and issued an order to prohibit the hunting of locusts, after all, in terms of Datang's current grain production, it should be no problem to survive this locust disaster.
But he never thought that allowing the locusts to multiply so frantically would turn the disaster that was originally just Guanzhong into a nationwide one, and those places that could have provided food for Guanzhong would also become places in need of relief.
"It's no wonder Your Majesty that this matter is that our subordinates failed to pick up the gaps, causing Your Majesty to misjudge, in addition, the ministers don't say anything about the king's mistakes, Sun Zhengming, you are abrupt."
Xiao Yu stood up and said a fair word to Li Shimin to find the bottom of the steps, and Fang Xuanling also asked at the right time, "Listen to the rumors of the inner servant, you have a way to defend against the plague, is it true?" If this is the case, please give it quickly, during this time, His Majesty has not slept for several days in order to control the plague. ”
Sun Xiangfu came to the palace with anger, of course, he was not angry with Li Shimin, but those family valves who were in chaos, listening to Fang Xuanling's words, he glanced at Li Shimin, whose eyes were red and panting like a cow, and he was slightly apologetic in his heart.
In a sense, it was Li Shimin's protection of him that allowed him to survive in this world, otherwise, with his birth as a farmer, no matter how talented he was, he would not be able to achieve his current achievements, and the cruelty of this era would not give him any chance to rise recklessly.
Take the simplest thing to analyze, fill the army in Shuozhou, everyone can see that Li Shimin deliberately gave Sun Xiangfu a way to live, because he is the emperor and needs to maintain the dynasty, so, although Sun Xiangfu may not be able to accept it in form, he can also understand a little in his heart.
Therefore, he never had any complaints about Li Shimin himself, even when he went to the death camp, he firmly helped Li Shimin plan a strategy to attack the family.
And Li Shimin, who has given enough love, naturally hopes to get enough returns, it is based on this psychology that he hopes that Sun Xiangfu can be closer to him, and I wish Sun Xiangfu would take into account his own situation in everything he does, so that he can have the appearance of a henchman and a humerus.
The man is like this, although he has a little clarity in his heart, but he is unwilling to pull it down on his face, thinking of those dead people, Sun Xiangfu still said with a little unhappiness, "The minister is not accusing Your Majesty, however, as a monarch, he should dare to say no to those policies that disrupt the government."
If the minister's expectation is right, those who propose that eating locusts will cause a plague must be the children of the family who have a large amount of land and grain in their hands, and His Majesty actually listened to these words, and ordered Sun Dali, the steward of Xingfu Village, to be arrested in prison, do you know that without his organization, how many more people will starve to death around Xinfeng County?
Moreover, the villagers of Xingfu Village catch locusts and eat locusts every day, and the people of Xingfu Village who fled to Xingfu Village have not died a single person, when has there been a plague? Isn't this empirical evidence more credible than the rumors speculated by the ministers?
The minister thinks that those who disrupt the government and harm the country for their own selfish interests should be killed, even if they need to pay the price. ”
Sun Xiangfu's words became more and more powerful, and when he got to the back, the apologies were gone, and they turned into accusations again, and Fang Xuanling, who listened to it, broke out in a cold sweat, what happened to this kid today, so murderous, when the country was in great trouble, he did something to the family with intertwined forces, is this going to turn the whole world upside down before stopping?
"Zhengming, Your Majesty makes some decisions, he has his own considerations, things are not as simple as you imagined, you still say the method of defense against the plague first, once the plague is controlled, Your Majesty can put things right in time."
At the same time as Du Ruhui answered, he gave Sun Xiangfu a meaningful look, which means that there may be something else in it, so that Li Shimin has to make such a decision, which is not good for Sun Xiangfu to continue, so he suppressed the anger in his chest and talked about the right thing.
"Your Majesty, the plague minister in Weinan has heard that it is smallpox, this is an incurable disease, the infection is very fast, but it can be prevented, the minister has asked Li Chunfeng to go to the Weinan epidemic area to find the buffalo that has smallpox, and inoculate the smallpox pox on the cow to people, maybe it can help people fight the smallpox virus."
"Cow? Inoculation? ”
All right! Of course, even if they are medical officers, they may not be able to understand what Sun Xiangfu said, and the bosses who will stare at each other look at Sun Xiangfu suspiciously.
"Well, that, the minister accidentally found that most of the smallpox in life will die, but the cow will not die if smallpox, which proves that the cow is born with an ingredient that can fight against smallpox, so he wants to use the cow's resistance to help people defend against smallpox, although this method has not been applied in practice, but the minister thinks it is very feasible."
Everyone here knows that Sun Xiangfu is proficient in medical skills, after all, Lingnan's treatment of potbelly disease is his prescription and strategy, and the killing incident is so big, and some details of Sun Xiangfu's treatment of sword wounds have also spread, and later Li Chunfeng passed on the entire set of his wound sutures to the Imperial Doctor's Department, yes, he said that he thought it was feasible, and everyone still felt that it was somewhat credible.
"Find someone to test as soon as possible, if this method can really make people defend against smallpox, I will forgive you for your rude sins today, and in addition, write a detailed report on the follow-up of Luoyang and me, and retreat first!" Li Shimin didn't seem to want to talk to Sun Xiangfu more, so after explaining a few words, he wanted to send him away.
"That, Your Majesty, it is forbidden to hunt locusts and Sun Dali······"
"I won't lift this order for the time being, Sun Dali will have to eat a few more days in prison, but you can organize the hunt in private, I know that you have a way, before the results of the things I have arranged, you are not allowed to make a big deal of it, if you can't get used to seeing those people suffering, you can help yourself."
Li Shimin said it so obviously, that is, to tell Sun Xiangfu that Chang'an has made a big move, and it is so big that Sun Xiangfu is not qualified to participate, for this kind of fatal thing, Sun Xiangfu is eager to hide far away, and after bowing and saluting, he hurriedly retreated from the imperial study.
How did Sun Xiangfu come to Chang'an in a hurry, how did he get out of Chang'an in a hurry, there will be a demon in a big country, who is this demon, Sun Xiangfu, who has read less history books, doesn't know, he wants to save more people now.
After returning to Xingfu Village, he immediately expanded the scope of relief, and within two days, the victims within dozens of miles of Xingfu Village were divided into several large areas by Sun Xiangfu and managed, and at this time, Li Chunfeng finally found a few buffaloes with smallpox in the epidemic area and came to Xingfu Village.
