Chapter 237: Luo Yanchun went to Chang'an at night
How Chen Yu wished that what Luo Yan just said was not true, or that Luo Yan had not been here at all today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, he was disappointed. At this moment, Luo Yan not only sat in front of him, but also nodded with great certainty in response to his surprise question. "I'm not kidding. It's true. After the great drought, there are often locust plagues, and you must have heard these eight words. ”
"That's what I thought of, so I rushed to Lantian to verify it. I don't want to find the signs before I get to your county office. Tomorrow morning, you can ask an old farmer what is the sign of locusts flying in swarms at this time. ”
The large-scale appearance of locusts usually occurs after June, but this is only May, and it is already on this scale. There is no need to find someone, Chen Yuru also knows what it means.
Sighing, as if the bones in his whole body had been sucked away, Chen Yuru slumped softly on the chair. His eyes looked ahead in distraction, and he muttered to himself, "How should this be good, how should this be good?" Your Majesty has done everything to help the people of Guanzhong survive the great drought, and when this locust plague comes, aren't all the previous efforts in vain? Can I, the county commander, just watch the people suffer? ”
"Of course not. Not only can't, but do something to remedy it as much as possible. Luo Yan's voice couldn't help but become stern. Insight and system have created low-level officials who have little resistance to this kind of thing. The inherent thinking formed over thousands of years has completely wiped out their thoughts of resistance. And Luo Yan doesn't believe in this evil, since he said that he should put the people first, then on the basis of respecting nature, everything that causes disasters to the people is his enemy.
From corrupt officials to local tyrants and inferior gentry, Luo Yan of the same kind naturally has a lot of power to control many things. But for natural disasters, this is the time when he has to be a fearless fighter.
Hearing Luo Yan say this, Chen Yuru seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately got up and bowed down in front of Luo Yan, regardless of his rank and official position at this moment, which was much greater than Luo Yan. "Lang Jun, please think of a way, you must protect the people of Lantian from being disturbed by the locust plague. Remembering the love of your former ruling Lantian, please. ”
Speaking of which, Chen Yuru is also a good official. Abilities aside, just the love of the people can be recognized by Luo Yan.
"I have some solutions, but they must be forced in the name of the county government. I don't know what the outcome will be, but until the locust plague passes, you'll be under a lot of pressure. Can you afford that? Luo Yan asked.
"As long as I can solve this problem, it's just a matter of some pressure, and I can't bear anything. Although Lang Jun said the way, I will implement it. Chen Yuru finally begged Luo Yan to speak, where could he refuse. At this time, I couldn't say anything.
"There is only one way, and that is to exterminate the locusts. Inform the township that if you find locusts, you will immediately catch them and feed them. In the fields, they dug a foot into the ground to remove locust eggs from the soil. If the poultry can't be eaten, then the eggs are completely destroyed by raking them repeatedly with an iron rake. After finishing speaking, Luo Yan still sighed: "This matter can only temporarily keep Lantian safe." After all, the locust plague is not an overnight thing, that thing has wings and can fly. In June, I'm afraid that locusts from all over the country will come here, and that's when the real headache will be needed. ”
Just when Chen Yuru wanted to show his determination, Luo Yan continued: "At that time, there are people watching the fields day and night, and there is a fire at night. During this time, people also raise more poultry, which will definitely be used by then. ”
Although Chen Yuru knew that Luo Yan's method was a bit shocking, the Luo Yan he knew before was not the kind of person who was full of nonsense. Every time he does something, he does it unexpectedly, but every time it proves that he did it right in the end. Although Chen Yuru was a little shocked this time, she still chose to believe Luo Yan. Moreover, listening to his tone, he has to rush to Chang'an at this time, and he wants to go to this matter.
Then it means that you are just doing it in advance.
Nodding, Chen Yuru bowed deeply to Luo Yan: "I don't know when I will see Lang Jun again, this bow, I thank Lang Jun on behalf of the people of Lantian." ”
Waving his hand, Luo Yan said, "Okay, okay." Doing more good deeds to the people is the best thank you to me. Well, the matter is urgent, so I should rush to Chang'an by night, so I can report to the emperor as soon as possible. Rest for now. Nodding at Chen Yuru and calling Ah Quan, Luo Yan walked out of the door.
But when Menzi opened the gate of the county government, Luo Yan was shocked by the scene in front of him. I don't know when, the front of the county yamen was full of people.
It was already dark, and suddenly seeing so many people, the eyes reflecting the light looked at him together, and Luo Yan was really taken aback. I secretly thought that people were scary and scared to death, but there was still a smile on my face.
"Luo County Order, we want to kill you."
"I didn't expect your old man to leave without a sound"
"Yes, yes, when you leave, you can tell us a word, and let us send it back."
…… The sound of various shouts reached the ears of the three people in front of the door, and Chen Yuru said with a little envy: "Lang Jun has been away from Lantian for a year, and the people still miss it. As an official, he lives up to this life. "He is doing his best now, although he has also won the love of the people, but where has there been such a shocking scene tonight.
"All the people want is food and clothing, and if you meet their demands, you are a good official. Sometimes the official voice is just a matter of sticking to a little belief. Now that you've done a good job, you're sure to be transferred in the future, and the scene will be even bigger. But when the time comes, you need to remember one thing, don't let the people of a place be burdened because of you. Luo Yan said to Chen Yuru with a little mention, and walked into the crowd.
"Fellow villagers, I said goodbye a year ago, and I met again today, and I was deeply pleased to see that everyone was still living and working in peace and contentment. Today, Chen County Ling has been quite diligent since he took office, and everyone can see it. I also hope that you will cooperate with the Chan County Order in the future, and the government and the people will work together to turn Lantian into a paradise in the Gyeonggi region. Ladies and gentlemen, Luo Yan still has important things to do today, and he is going to hit the road at this moment. When he has time in the future, he will come to Lantian to see you again. ”
While walking, he chatted with the people around him, Luo Yan had already said that there was something important, and naturally no one would stop him. Soon he and Ah Quan had already pulled their horses and walked to the road.
Surrendering to a large group of people led by Chen Yuru, he did not look back, and led his horse to the outside of the city.
Behind him, there was a crowd of people who were silently sending each other off.
As the team continued to grow, when they arrived in front of the city gate, the entire street was blocked. turned around and said to Chen Yuru: "Remember what I said, there are people in your heart, and heaven and earth are forgiving." There will be a period later. Then he got on his horse and went out of the gate.
The night road is not so easy to rush, although it is May and the weather is hotter during this time. But after nightfall, the horse galloped quickly, and I still felt a little cold on my body. What's more, there is no shortage of wild beasts on this road, and if you don't get one right, you will really lose your life. However, Luo Yan himself was equipped with a horizontal knife, and the horses did not drive with all their might, just in case.
Even if there were no pedestrians on the road at all, but all the way, by dawn, they had only just entered the boundary of Chang'an County.
From afar, you can see the glory of Chang'an City under the light of the early sun, but it will take more than half an hour to reach the gate of Chang'an City. At this time, Ah Quan couldn't stand it anymore, he rode a horse all night, and he was definitely not as good as Luo Yan if he was not skilled in riding.
"Ah Quan, the sky is already dawning at this time, and I have also arrived at the boundary of Chang'an, and there are slowly more people. I see, you should go to the teahouse in front of you and rest your feet. I rushed to the city alone and reported the matter to the court. Luo Yan also saw that Ah Quan couldn't hold on at this time, and if he hurried again, he was afraid that he would be seriously ill when he returned to the mansion.
"Lang Jun, I'd better go with you. I can hold on. The matter is urgent, although Ah Quan knows that his body is not good, he still insists on saying.
"Okay, okay, I can't see what you're doing. You can get off the horse and rest in the teahouse in front of you, and you can go to the house at noon today. In the end, Ah Quan was allowed to go down to rest, and Luo Yan continued to rush to Chang'an City by himself.
Fortunately, by the time Luo Yan arrived, the city gates had already been opened. The city cannot be walked, and the long Suzaku Street is undoubtedly a challenge for Luo Yan. Although there are fewer pedestrians on the street, horses can't be compared with people, and it is not how fast Luo Yan walks, so he can keep up. Also, be wary of pedestrians. His eyes rolled for a moment, and when he saw an inn at the gate of the city, Luo Yan had an idea.
He stepped forward and said to the little man who was cleaning the door: "My horse is temporarily deposited with you, this is my name, and these are deposits." I'll pick up the horse at noon, and I'll have a reward. He took out one of his name cards from his bosom, and took out a money bag, and stuffed it into the hand of the little servant with the reins, and without waiting for the little man to speak, he immediately rushed forward.
The little guy was about to complain a few words, when the innkeeper walked out and asked what was going on.
"When I got back to the Lord's house, someone stuffed me with a page of the name and some money to take care of his horses. Without waiting for me to say yes, he left. It's weird. ”
I can't see this kind of thing once or twice a year, and at this time, the boss was also interested, so he fished the post over and opened it to take a look.
So he was stunned in an instant, and he didn't want such a god to come as soon as he opened the door today. Although he has never lived in the hotel, he has seen the money he has given, and it is definitely a lot. Is this a good start? Thinking of this, the boss grinned. (To be continued.) )
