After some heated debate in the court, Luo Yan's suggestion was finally implemented. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

For this, Luo Yan is still a little proud. The prevention and control of the locust plague itself is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it was he who forcibly persuaded Li Shimin under the opposition of hundreds of officials. put it on anyone's body, vigorously did a great deed, and his heart was extremely comfortable. What's more, now that Luo Yan remembered the somewhat purple face of Pang Fengcheng in the court at that time, as well as the weakness of those malicious officials, Luo Yan's heart was even more happy.

Luo Yan is more fortunate that he was not pulled out by Li Shimin as a disposition. It is said to be a disposal envoy, but it is just an official position to temporarily put out fires. There was an omen of a locust plague in Gyeonggi Province, but it was he Luo Yan who discovered the clues, and he also proposed a detailed way to deal with it. It stands to reason that this position belongs to him.

But Luo Yan still has a task on his own, if he goes to deal with the locust plague for several months in a row, will this student still be able to teach? The task is a hard indicator, and if you miss this year, you will have to wait another year. It's been too long, and Luo Yan can't be at ease.

Moreover, the measures for the control of the locust plague have been written in great detail in the article. Find someone to go up at random, as long as you are familiar with Tiao Chen, it is basically no different from him going into battle in person.

However, this comfortable day lasted for a few days, and soon he had to take Ah Quan and leave for Jinzhou. This field vacation is still a little shorter, and before I can enjoy the scenery of the capital, it is already time. When he looked back at the Chang'an City Gate, Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Still worried about the people of Lantian in his heart, Luo Yan did not go directly from Meridian Pass to Jinzhou this time, but deliberately took a detour, wanting to take a look in Lantian, and then go out of Lantian Pass, take Shangzhou, and return to Jinzhou in a circle.

Although the distance is a little far, it is also excellent to see the effect of locust extermination along the way, and at the same time to see the customs of other places.

Lantian did a really good job of exterminating locusts, and the two or three counties along the way also did Lantian more meticulously and thoroughly, which Luo Yan felt very satisfied. For what Chen Yuru did, Ah Quan had already made him nod his head when he heard about the situation from the villagers. Come to think of it, as far as the situation of the Lantian locust plague is concerned, when the officials verify it this autumn, they will be able to give Chen Yuru a boost.

didn't bother Chen Yuru, Luo Yan quietly walked around Lantian with Ah Quan's master and servant, and then left.

Although Lantian Pass is built on the mountain, the mountain is not high, and after a checkpoint is the Shangzhou Zhizhi Shang County. Although it does not belong to Gyeonggi or Kannai Province, the drought situation in Sangju is the same as that in Gyeonggi. After all, this is not like Jinzhou, which is separated by the Qinling Mountains, and the climatic conditions are basically not much different.

Because of Chen Yuru's generosity, villagers catching locusts can now be seen in the wilderness. For Lantian such a situation, Luo Yan is still very happy. Standing in front of the pass and waiting for the identity verification to pass, Luo Yan still had the heart to listen to the conversations of those villagers.

"I said, this Luo County Order is really a god. I waited so long to learn that this year it was better to feed the chickens with this locust than to feed them with chran. In the past few days, the dozen or so chickens in my family can be seen to have gained weight several times. ”

"That is, what kind of person is Luo County, that is a good official that is rare in a hundred years. Knowing this is not something that should be taken for granted. ”

"It's a pity that Luo Xianling stayed in Lantian for a few months and left. Forget it, let's talk about what we got today, right? ”

"Today's harvest was good, I almost caught a basket here. There are still a lot of locusts at this pass, and this is the place where the county can catch a large number of adults. ”

"yes. This place is adjacent to Shang County. Those lazy people are all begging for immortals, where are they thinking about catching locusts. That's why a lot of bugs fly here every day. Hey, if you want me to say, the people of this Shang County are also unlucky, and it is said that the new county magistrate is a careless one. Although the imperial court issued a document to exterminate the locusts, without the support of the county, everyone was not in that mood. ”

"Hehe, I don't know if they're in the mood or not, but they're lazy for sure. We've been catching locusts for so many days, and the crops in the fields are much better. Don't they know that? I see, they are all thinking about eating the relief of the imperial court, which is really rotten. From the county magistrate to the villagers, none of them are in a proper business. ”

The conversation of several farmers attracted Luo Yan's attention, and the situation in Shangxian County made Luo Yan a little worried.

After all, Shangju is not Gyeonggi, and it is going to be affected by the disaster, and on the surface, it is said that relief will be distributed in various places, but at that time, there will be differences due to different regions. For example, Lantian and Shang County. Although one is a state administration office and the other is just an ordinary county, Lantian across the wall has much better relief conditions than Shang County.

It was under such a difference that the county order of Shang County actually turned a deaf ear to the official documents of the imperial court, and disobeyed the matter of exterminating locusts. This is no longer something that can be explained by not doing a good job. It's nothing short of dereliction of duty.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan decided to take a good look in this Shang County to see what was going on in this Shang County.

When it was his turn to check his customs clearance documents, Luo Yan took out his official certificate from his arms. The little colonel had seen the name on the official certificate, and was about to bow down, but was quietly stopped by Luo Yan. There are too many people here, if their identities are revealed, I'm afraid I won't want to get out of the customs today.

After He Ah Quan led the horse out of the customs, the soldier next to the little colonel quietly asked him: "Captain, who is the person who just passed, why do I have to salute him when I look at you?" ”

"He is the well-known Luo County Commander in Lantian. My family also farms, and this Luo County order to suppress the rural gentry is also kind to my family. Now that I saw him, I thought about saluting and thanking him. I just didn't expect to be stopped by him. The little colonel said with a little regret.

"What, it was Luo County Order who just passed?" The soldier was not as calm as the little colonel, and as soon as he heard it, he shouted out. Immediately, the villagers who were catching locusts around them surrounded and asked, "What did you say, Luo Xian Ling just went out of this pass?" Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, I still wanted to see him as an old man. The voices of complaining suddenly came and went.

Entering the boundary of Shang County, Luo Yan felt like he had entered another world.

Although it is still a wilderness in front of us, it is already close to the end of May at this time, and a large number of locusts have spawned, although they are not overwhelming, but they can also be seen flying in the sky from time to time. Coupled with the hissing sound of "swish", there is a feeling of numbness on the scalp. This is not near the farmland, where the locusts already have this density. One can imagine what it would be like to go further inside.

Ah Quan wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words for a while. He could only sit on his horse and hum and follow behind Luo Yan.

When the official road entered the countryside, the neighing of the locusts suddenly became much quieter.

But don't think that's a good thing.

On the contrary, although the number of locusts is not known, because there are crops to eat, where do the locusts have time to hiss. Seeing that there were three or five locusts crawling on some crops that had just set head, Luo Yan felt a heart-wrenching pain. It is not the grass that is gnawed, it is the food that the people rely on to survive after the autumn. Before it grows, it has been eaten by these locusts.

A strong wind blew and disturbed the good things of the locusts. Suddenly, the world seemed to be filled with the sound of chainsaws sawing wood. Black dots flew up in the field, and then these black dots converged into a torrent and flew away in the direction of the wind.

Looking at the torrent in the distance, Luo Yan was secretly a little glad that he was not coming from his side. Otherwise, if the horse is frightened, I am afraid that people will also be attacked.

Go further. Luo Yan hopes that some people will appear at this time and take some nets to talk about a large area of locusts. However, he was disappointed. The horses had been walking for about a moment, until they came to the side of a village, and no one had come out to clean up the mess. Thinking about the small talk of the people of Lantian when he had just passed the customs, Luo Yan believed that what he heard was the truth.

The horses continued to walk forward, and Luo Yan thought about it, but he was still ready to go to the village to ask. Is it true that everyone has to watch the crops being spoiled by locusts like this, and no one will come out to fight against this so-called natural disaster?

Ah Quan silently followed behind him, wanting to speak and stopping. He knew his master's attitude and dedication to the locust plague. At the risk of offending the important ministers of the court, Luo Yan put forward the arguments of exterminating the locusts, and it has been verified that these arguments are feasible and beneficial to the people. But it's such a good way, but when I got here, I was abandoned, and I wasn't happy to hit anyone.

"Lang Jun, why don't we go back to Jinzhou as soon as possible. It's better to send a document to report to the DPRK and China after going back. Now Ah Quan understands something with Luo Yan, so he has come up with this way to make Luo Yan feel better.

However, his idea was rejected. "No, I still want to see what the situation is in this Shang County. If the people don't come out to destroy the locusts, they won't even care about the crops in the field. Where have all the people in this village gone? The voice was a little low, but it also fully showed Luo Yan's stubbornness. He wants to know the truth of the matter, even if he wants to write a paperwork, he must tell the most real situation.

Under the scorching sun, rows of adobe houses stood crowded there. The charred dirt looked like smoke in the sun, and although there were a few large trees on both sides of the dirt road in the village, the leaves hung low listlessly. On the most spacious road, there was not half a figure found. However, there were bursts of gongs and drums and suona from not far away.

Is it a happy event? Luo Yan thought to himself, but quickly overturned this speculation.

This is not a previous life, marriages and everything is held during the day. The so-called marriage is to marry the newlyweds back at that dusk and feast the guests at sunset. This is when it is not even the time to apply, and there can be a happy event for Mao.

Full of curiosity, Luo Yan followed the sound. (To be continued.) )
