In the eyes of Xu Xian and the audience gathered, Bai Suzhen only shook her head in embarrassment, and then after the anxious Xu Xian paced off the stage, Bai Suzhen recruited Xiaoqing again, saying that she wanted to ascend to the altar and invite Vilamba Bodhisattva, but it took a lot of effort to ask the Bodhisattva, Xiaoqing persuaded hard, Bai Suzhen insisted, and finally the loss of the Tao invited Vilamba Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva sent his son Pleiades Star Officer to help her deal with the locust plague.

So, on the stage, a Pleiades star official wearing a chicken-beak mask appeared, he held a bamboo stick in his hand, and drove dozens of chickens to the stage.

"All things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, this ungrown locust, what they are most afraid of is poultry, and look at the lower realm of a certain 100,000 divine chicken army, eat the locust eggs clean."

It turns out that the locusts that have not grown up are afraid of chickens, and they only need to let the chickens eat the eggs, and the locust plague will not break out.

When the Pleiades star official drove the chicken off the stage, the picture of the stage became a tired Bai Suzhen persuaded Xu Xian who was anxious, saying that the danger of the locust plague had been solved, telling him to be relieved, and then, with a singing segment, praised the Pleiades star official, but concealed the inside story that he had spent a lot of Taoism to complete this matter, and established Bai Suzhen's kind image, after that, the curtain began to fall, and Qin Han came to the stage to sing the curtain call with Xiaoqing.

"This opera is really interesting, why didn't you stop acting after this moment, Erlang quickly ordered them to perform it again."

Seeing that the curtain would not rise after it fell, Li Yuan stopped doing it and pointed to the stage and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, father, before this opera is staged, it has to be rehearsed, and it will take several days to rehearse an hour's joke, and today it has been a quarter of an hour longer, and the later plot must be rehearsed before they can perform it."

Li Shimin explained, and Li Yuan was shocked to realize that more than an hour had passed, so he said, "In this way, then I must come to see this drama when it is staged again in the future." ”

"Yes, father, it's not too early now, so let's send my father back to the palace! After the drama of Wangjianglou is rehearsed, the child will definitely bring his father to watch it again. Li Shimin replied very respectfully, and persuaded Li Yuan to return to the palace, his time bomb is not placed in the heavily defended forbidden palace, Li Shimin is not at ease to do other things, after all, now Shandong, Youzhou, and even Jiangnan have remembered that the vassal power of the army to help Li Yuan restore has not been solved!

Li Yuan glanced at Pei Lin meaningfully, and then went back to the palace with Li Shimin's frame, he knew that Pei Lin had tried his best to get him out of the palace, but during the whole process of leaving the palace this time, Pei Lin didn't mention anything serious, only said, 'This drama, you must watch it'.

Li Yuan is also a person who has experienced battles and rebellions, and instantly understood that Pei Lin had other arrangements, so he had the scene just now, as long as he can become a regular practice when he leaves the palace, then there will be more opportunities to contact the minister, and when the time comes, maybe he will be able to be the supreme again, after all, Li Shimin is his son, and on the surface, he doesn't dare to do anything to him.

In Li Shimin's luxurious carriage, the eunuch Wang De knelt on the side and beat his leg while saying, "Your Majesty, the old slave stared at Pei Xiang the whole time and didn't find any abnormalities. ”

"Pei Lin is not a fool, of course he won't make a move the first time he leaves the palace, he will honestly let his father watch a few plays, and then take action after I am careless." Li Shimin said with a cold face.

"That old slave will have to keep an eye on it in the future." Wang De said with a condensation in his heart.

"No need, just stare at him once or twice, and then gradually relax, I want to see who this old ghost can lure out in the end."

"No."

Wang De knew with his heart that Li Shimin was going to use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

Pei Lone, who has been the first person in the Tang Dynasty for many years, is willing to be lonely, and now Li Shimin no matter what he does, he is looking for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others to discuss, he is increasingly the prime minister of the political hall, and the day of death is approaching, so how can he not be in a hurry, so he has been looking for a way out, until Sun Xiangfu got the drama out, he thought of a plan, let Li Yuan out of the palace, so that he can hook up with the ministers, vassal kings and local forces, and help Li Yuan get back the right to rule, and only Li Yuan can take back the right to rule, He can continue to be the first person in his court.

Therefore, there is a matter of Pei Lin who would rather offend the people of the seven sects and five surnames in the court, but also help Sun Xiangfu speak, he just wants to save Sun Xiangfu's life, so that the drama of Wangjianglou can continue to sing.

Sun Xiangfu, who was kept in the dark, thought that Pei Lin had become his ally because of Lawyer Pei, but he didn't think about it, what qualifications did he have to become an ally with Pei Lian? What people seek is the power of the whole country, where is the small profit of a restaurant.

The emperor's decree sent to all parts of Guanzhong was issued as soon as Li Shimin returned to the palace, so that the local government organized farmers to plough the farmland shallow when the weather was fine, and in addition, people with conditions could go outdoors to put chickens, so from the next day, the land of Guanzhong began to be lively again, and the people understood Li Shimin's decree very well, because most of the lords above them had seen the legend of the white snake in Wangjianglou, and knew the way to fight the locust plague.

Shallow cultivation of the land, let the chickens and ducks eat insect eggs, this can only play a restraining role in the locust plague, and before the locust plague, the first thing to face is the drought, early in the morning, Sun Xiangfu was invited to the Ministry of Industry to have a meeting, at this time, the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry is the eldest Sun Shunde, a fat old man in his fifties.

"You have all arrived, then the official will tell you about His Majesty's request, this time Your Majesty will hand over more than 70,000 Turkic captives to the Ministry of Industry, and order that before next year's spring ploughing, dam dams and reservoirs will be built in the 23 places marked on this map, do you have a good plan?" The eldest grandson Shunde pointed to a map on his desk.

This map is Shi Dalang spent nearly a month in Guanzhong to check the terrain, marked out, Sun Xiangfu has seen it many times, familiar with the chest, then got up and said, "My lord, this map is drawn by Cheng Shibao, the pastoral supervisor of the Fisheries Division, and has marked each place with a number, of which the first, ninth and thirteenth areas involve a huge amount of work, you can first send a large number of people to concentrate on the completion, the other twenty places, are all small projects, send a group of 3,000 people, in a few days, it can be completed, before the spring of next year, It's not difficult to complete the project. ”

"This is very good, since your Fisheries Department is more familiar with the situation, then your Fisheries Department will take the lead, and the water supervisor will assist from the side, and this official will inform the military department, transfer the left and right military guards, and the sergeants of the left and right guards will help supervise the prisoners, if you can complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty on time, this official will definitely ask for credit for you."

All right! I met a boss who didn't do much, and Sun Xiangfu, who thought that there would be a clear division of labor, took over the power of the entire project with just one sentence, so the meeting of the Ministry of Industry was dispersed after only a quarter of an hour, and many petty officials of seven or eight grades followed Sun Xiangfu to the Yamen of the Fisheries Department.

"More than 70,000 Turkic captives are eating, drinking, and Lazar, and dozens of construction sites are being supervised, this is going to be busy with my brother!"

Sun Xiangfu complained, and immediately thought of his allies, with the help of Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Cheng Yanjin, the general of Zuo Weiwei, who could implement military management for the Turkic prisoners, as for the money and food consumed, well, after the eldest grandson Shunde passed a hand, he lost thirty percent, and now it seems that he can only strive to complete the project ahead of schedule to save the money and grain he embezzled, so Sun Xiangfu drew in the yamen all day long, and also let the officials of the Ministry of Industry responsible for building tools take the lead in getting busy.

If you do a good job in advance, you must sharpen your tools first! Sun Xiangfu was busy in the yamen for two days, the army was finally able to escort those Turkic prisoners to the construction site, Sun Xiangfu only hated that he did not have a capable assistant under his subordinates, and he had to go out on a cold day to run the construction site in person, and he didn't even have time to accompany his wife to practice singing and rehearsal.

Laolongshan No. 1 reservoir construction site, tens of thousands of Turkic prisoners began to transport soil under the whip of the Tang Army, Sun Xiangfu visually measured that after the most promising feng shui treasure of this stone treasure was built, it was at least ten times larger than the fishing ground of Xingfu Village, and there were two mountain streams that could continuously inject water and oxygen into the reservoir, in addition, due to the high mountains on both sides, this dam could also be built very high, and the deep water of more than ten or twenty meters was not a problem. Let's just hope that there will be a few more rains in the spring next year!

"My lord, there is a scholar outside the camp who asks to see him, and he says that he is a guest from General Chang He's mansion, called Ma Zhou."

"General Chang He? Oh, what do you say? His name is Ma Zhou? Why does this name sound so familiar? ”

After a while, a man dressed as a scholar in his twenties was ushered into the camp.

"Grass people and horses, meet your lords."

Sun Xiangfu glanced at Ma Zhou, who was dressed in sackcloth, a few times, and suddenly remembered a TV series he had watched, it seemed that this guy was a famous minister in the middle and late stages of Zhenguan, and he also became the prime minister, so he said politely, "No need to be polite, this official heard that you are a guest of General Changhe's mansion, you must be a talented person, you are here today, but what good advice do you have to offer this official?" ”

"The grass people are slight, and they don't dare to call it a good strategy in front of adults." Ma Zhou arched his hand.

There really is, Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he pointed to Mazha in the camp and said, "Please take a seat, Uncle De, and bring some wine, meat and pastries." ”

Ma Zhou was stunned by Sun Xiangfu's sudden enthusiasm, but seeing Sun Xiangfu's sincere smile, he didn't say anything, and said after sitting down, "My lord, the grass people have three strategies, I don't know if it's useful, it's not good, please don't blame the adults." ”

"Someone came to offer advice, I can't be grateful, how can I blame, you can talk about it in detail."

Ma Zhou paused and said, "Since the adults know that there will be a drought in the coming year, and they want to build a dam to store water, and this dam must be dug in large quantities, why don't you order people to concentrate on the digging place, and by the way, open ditches or dig wells for the local people, and in the coming year, the local people can also use these ditches and well water to irrigate crops, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Miaoye! Before, I only thought that it would be completed as soon as possible and that I could save more money and food for the imperial court, but I didn't think of this stubble. ”

Ma Zhou was praised by Sun Xiangfu, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said, "My lord is too worried, the imperial court has completed it earlier, don't these Turkic captives still have to be supported by the imperial court, why not let them do more things that are beneficial to my Tang Dynasty!" Moreover, the grass people feel that after using these Turkic captives, His Majesty is afraid that he is not willing to put them back! ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu almost covered his face, his mind actually didn't expect that if it was completed early, these Turkic captives would become white rice, and now Jieli and Turki on the grassland are evenly matched, Li Shimin can't let these Turks go back to affect the balance, since they all have to pay to support them, it is better to ask them to work more, the existing labor force is not used, and it will be invalid if it expires!
