No. 360 Xuzhou Insight 2
"Oh, Uncle Zhang, how do you say this, who is the little heavenly master you mentioned?" Although Ren Yan asked so, he already thought of someone in his heart.
The little heavenly master mentioned by Old Man Zhang is not the Jin Jue that the teacher is going to meet this time.
Tuo Chen Gong and Jin Jue's own blessing, north of the Yangtze River, there are two legends about him, one is the little pervert who likes to take other people's wives and concubines as his own, and the other is the name of the reincarnated heavenly master.
"The little heavenly master is the little heavenly master! A while ago, wasn't it rumored that there was a reincarnated Heavenly Master of Taiping Dao who was very high in Taoism but very young? Mr. Ren, this is you, if it were someone else, the old man would not be able to say half a word. Old man Zhang was still so cautious when he spoke, and he replied in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Mr. Ren, the second eldest in the old man's family used to participate in the Yellow Turban Army, and for the sake of the peace of Na Laoshizi, he didn't even care about his family and his wife and children.
I'm ashamed! That year, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou, the old man thought that the dead boy had died in Cao Cao's hands. But no one expected that at the beginning of this year, the dead boy would suddenly come back secretly. He said that he has now defected to Xiaotianshi, and this time he came back with a man named Liu Sima, who came to Xuzhou on a mission, and went to Qingzhou to see his family, just by the way. When he returns, he will be able to become the tun chief.
This time, because of the long distance, he couldn't take the old man's family to the little heavenly master for the time being. Before leaving, the dead boy said that the little heavenly master said that just this year, there will be a locust plague in the area north of the Yangtze River in Dahan, and he hopes that the old man can escape with his family to Donghai County as soon as possible to settle down. Old man, I, my eyelids are shallow, and I am reluctant to get the food that my family has worked hard for for more than half a year.
What's more, the old man had never heard of the name of the little heavenly master, and at that time, the old man did not believe his son's words. Mr. Ren, you think, the old man really thought that the dead boy was once again stunned by that damn Taiping Dao and went home talking nonsense. So, the old man and I kicked him out of the house on the spot, and before leaving, he wanted to leave some money for the family, but the old man thought that his money was coming from the wrong way, so he didn't dare to ask for it.
No, if you don't say the words of the Heavenly Master, you will be retributed!
In May this year, locusts really swept through Qingzhou, and I heard that Jizhou in the north, Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the west were also bad. Although the housekeeper was merciful and had clearly informed all the tenants in the housekeeper's house that everyone was exempted from this year's rent, Mr. Ren, you also know that two years ago, many people starved to death because of the locust plague.
The old man also worked hard to prevent anyone in the family from starving to death.
This time I really couldn't stand it, so the old man finally made up his mind and brought his family to Donghai County. I heard from the dead boy in my family that the little heavenly master sent that Liu Sima to remind Liu Zhijun of the locust plague, and also provided a method on how to eliminate the locust plague. Mr. Ren, what do you think, throughout the ages, apart from the gods in the sky, where among the mortals has the ability to really destroy the locust plague?
If you look at the fields in Tokai County, you may have been plagued by locusts. ”
If Mi Zhu, the Taishou of Donghai County, and Mi Fang, the county lieutenant, heard Old Man Zhang's words, they would inevitably cry bitterly, holding Old Man Zhang's hand and calling him confidant.
For the first time under Liu Bei's hands, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were in charge of the government and military affairs of a county, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang in order to successfully prevent the locust plague this time, and also to be able to make an example under Liu Bei's hands, therefore, this time, their brothers did not dare to Jin Jue's method of preventing locust plagues at all, and spent the remaining one-third of the Mi family's wealth to buy chickens, ducks, geese, and of course, some pigs around Donghai County.
In the locust plague in the second year of Jian'an, only Donghai County and Xiapi City did the best anti-locust work in the entire Xuzhou, and the damage was the least.
No matter how hard their brothers tried, in this era, the private poultry breeding did not form a scale, so no matter how rich the Mi family was, they were not able to buy enough poultry. Therefore, the grain production of Donghai County and Xiapi Country in this locust plague was not unaffected in the slightest, but the relative impact was relatively small.
Comparatively speaking, the most severely damaged in the whole of Xuzhou was Langya County, which was controlled by Changba and Zangba. In Guangling County, which Chen Deng governs, although the entire Chen family is against it, Chen Deng will also take out all his money and buy a lot of chickens, ducks and geese in the surrounding area, which makes Guangling also reduce a lot of losses.
Peng Chengguo under Guan Yu burned all the Tuntian in advance, so Guan Yu was lucky to escape this catastrophe. Otherwise, Pengcheng under his rule would have become the most severely damaged county in the entire Xuzhou locust plague.
After listening to Old Man Zhang's nagging and exposing his 'family ugliness', Ren Yi sighed, he really didn't expect that Jin Jue, who was already 'notorious' among the Shilin, had such a great influence among the people.
"Uncle Zhang, in this way, your family is planning to settle in Xiapi Kingdom!" Thinking of this, Ren Yan subconsciously asked.
As the center of a state, Xiapi is the most suitable place for outsiders to settle down in any way, even Ren Yi himself thinks so, not to mention most of the foreigners who are preparing to flee into Xuzhou from the surrounding areas.
But who knows, what this old man Zhang said once again refreshed Ren's three levels.
"No, the old man's family is going to Tan County and will settle in the county seat. Mr. Ren, what about you? Old man Zhang did not continue to lower his voice this time, but resumed his usual voice, and his voice made Ren's left ear, who was caught off guard, a little deaf.
Tan County is the seat of Donghai County.
"Uncle Zhang, why is this, the Xiapi Kingdom where Liu Yuanjun is located is much stronger than Donghai County in any way." Ren asked puzzled.
"Hehehe, don't hide it from Mr. Ren, the two boys in my family said that although the country of Xiapi is good, Cao Cao and even Sun Ce will definitely not stop attacking Xuzhou, so there are relatively few wars in Donghai County, which is close to the generals of Mount Tai. Isn't that the second battle of Xuzhou that just happened? Old man Zhang explained with a laugh.
"Uncle Zhang, did your second son think of this?" Ren asked curiously.
