Chapter 249: The Phoenix is the Captain of Birds

He established the Hongwen Museum, in the name of recruiting talents for the society, but he recruited "eighteen bachelors", but a gimmick of "teaching the world" of the Academy of Literature made Han Chongwen and other great Confucians flock to it, and the people from all over the world also yearn for it.

The bad atmosphere brought by Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty! What don't you bend your waist for five buckets of rice, so that learned people abandon the officials, and would rather marry Beishan and enjoy themselves.

PS: Why not Jielu Nanshan?

Because those people in Nanshan are still eager to be recruited by the imperial court to be officials, they just use Zhongnan's seclusion to improve their qualifications.

Under the influence of such an atmosphere, it is no wonder that there is a flood of referrals.

However, if the influence of the Academy of Literature is expanded, it will be able to pull the learned people hidden in the people to Chang'an like a magnet.

After all, the gimmick of "educating the people" cannot be endured as long as a person who reads books.

Thinking about this clearly, Li Shimin simply said: "As you wish, I can transfer all the arithmetic gentlemen of Guozijian and Hongwenguan to the Academy of Literature." ”

When Leng Feng heard Li Shimin say this, he immediately smiled in his heart, with these wronged leaders, no, with these lovely people teaching in the Academy of Literature, his burden will be much easier.

"But~" Li Shimin's words changed: "I have one condition!" ”

Leng Feng knew that such a tall corner was not easy to dig, but in order to be lazy, he could only ask: "What conditions?" ”

Li Shimin pointed to his chair: "You have to find a way to minimize the threat of the locust plague to the imperial power!" ”

In the final analysis, imperial power is very important in Li Shimin's heart, and if the locust plague is unavoidable, he must find a way to minimize his influence to the weakest.

Leng Feng thought about it, and suddenly remembered the old incident of his fried crocodile, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, did Yuezhou Thorn Shi Fengyan laugh last year and submit it to the imperial court?" ”

At this time, the magistrate was not as boring as the magistrate during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and he had nothing to do with the emperor to show himself. It's "Your Majesty is in good health?" "Oh, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

If it is not a major event, the magistrates of the Tang Dynasty will not play a setback.

Fang Xuanling's memory is particularly good, and he memorized all the articles at the moment: "The ministers are smiling and laughing thousands of miles away, and now they occupy the lake, and they are afraid of business travelers, and they dare not enter, although the people are in the river, they dare not fish far away, and they dare not plant rice......... Gong Xi Guo, this is the letter you are talking about. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji interjected: "The Duke of Xi Guoze is mighty in Yunmengze, if the people of the two lakes can live and work in peace and contentment, and the fishing rice is gradually prospering, the credit of the Duke of Xi Guo should be on the wind and laughter." But what does this have to do with the locust plague? ”

"It matters." Li Shimin stood up, paced left and right for a few steps, and then said to Leng Feng: "Do you want to stage the old story of Yunmengze, blow up the locusts, and break the locust god position?" ”

Leng Feng shook his head again and again: "The crocodile has rough skin and thick flesh, and it must be thundered, locusts can trample several to death with one kick, and it is really a waste to bomb them with thunder!" ”

"So what else can you do?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Could it be that the Duke of Xi Guo has another way, without thunder, to fake God to give His Majesty face, and punish the locusts?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji also looked at Leng Feng with a curious expression, he really wanted to see what Leng Feng could do.

After his brother-in-law got the news last night, he called him, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng to the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the four of them discussed all night and didn't come up with any good solutions.

Wei Zheng is not here today, ostensibly to check the people's situation, but in fact, he is going out of the city with four apprehensive hearts, and looking for experienced old farmers to test whether Leng Feng's prediction is groundless.

Leng Feng pointed at Li Shimin very rudely and said: "When the dragon was fried before, the emperor's name of the real dragon had already been used, there was a drought last year, and it is estimated that there will not be much rain this year, and the dragon is in charge of the clouds and water, and then using this reason at this time is not to make the emperor uncomfortable?" ”

Li Shimin nodded, indeed, along with last year's remarks that "the emperor is the true dragon emperor", there were also some rumors in the arid area, but with the clear spread of Yun Mengze's matter, this rumor was suppressed. You can't make it worse for yourself!

Fang Xuanling also nodded in agreement.

The eldest grandson Wuji took a sip of tea, and then said: "What is the good plan of the Duke of Xi Guo, let's just say it, it is strange and uncomfortable to sell Guanzi like this." ”

Smart people are like that, the closer you get to the truth, the more impatient you become.

Leng Feng smiled: "You have forgotten one person, locust plague, locust plague, who else in the royal family can restrain the locust plague?" ”

"Royals, restrain the locust plague?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, there are still such people in the royal family? Fang Xuanling also couldn't believe it, but the eldest grandson Wuji slapped it on the table:

"Guanyin! No, Queen! ”

"Queen?" As soon as Fang Xuanling was puzzled, he laughed: "Gong Xiguo, Gong Xiguo, what kind of bad idea are you, the queen mother is a phoenix, not a bird, a phoenix is a divine beast, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, drinking the morning dew in the mountains, how can you catch insects!" ”

Li Shimin also smiled: "Bad idea, bad idea, how can the queen take the lead in catching insects!" ”

Leng Feng shook his head, sat cross-legged on the chair instead, and said in the tone of a fortune teller: "I didn't say catch insects, come on, come on, let me ask you, the dragon travels to the lake and the sea, commanding the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, what does the phoenix rule?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The old man also forgot the sentence he saw in which ancient book, the ancient divine beasts, dragons and fish and shrimp, the unicorn is the king of beasts, and the phoenix is the chief of birds." ”

Leng Feng clapped his hands: "That's right, in Xia Bucai, I have raised countless chickens, ducks and geese on my own village, and the farmers are almost unable to raise them, and there is a serious shortage of people to collect grass seeds to feed the chickens, and those poultry are hungry and full, just waiting for those damn locusts to feed them!" ”

"When you started raising chickens, you were ready to use them?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, before he was puzzled by what Leng Feng was doing with so many poultry, but now he understands that it was originally used to deal with locusts!

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head again and again: "It's not feasible, it's not feasible, the Duke of Xi has never seen the appearance of locusts everywhere, covering the sky and the sun!" You are a village full of chickens, let them out, eat them until you die, you can't eat up so many locusts. ”

Leng Feng nodded the table: "If I really count on them, I won't drag the generals to lose money and transport grain, originally I only thought that the male chickens, ducks and geese ate fat and fat in the locust plague, and then slaughtered and ate meat, hens, ducks, and geese can lay eggs and eat meat, how can they be worth a part of the grain." But ........."

"But now, you associate them with the Queen."

Li Shimin sat back in his chair and stopped laughing.
