Fujiwara Shuxiong first looked at Kibi Zhenbei, and then set his eyes on Zhen Qian, Zhen Qian has helped him a lot these days, and Hizen Country is now doing a good job, and most of the credit is due to Zhen Qian, and he has a dependence on Zhen Qian.

"What did Zhen Lang teach me?"

Looking at Fujiwara Shuxiong's respectful salute to himself, Zhen Qian was full of slander in his heart, are the Japanese people so shameless? When you need yourself, you will be respectful to yourself, and when you don't need yourself, you will kick it away.

"Don't hide it from the two of you, since I knew about the locust plague, I have begun to do some things quietly, here are a few immature suggestions, please take a look!" Saying that, Zhen Qian handed over the locust control method that had been prepared long ago to the two of them: "The key to disaster prevention is to eliminate the people's panic about the locust plague, and the people are so ignorant, so there is the saying of "locust god", and there is also the saying of "locust (shrimp) mutualization", or locust is the fish eggs turned into fish and shrimp, and the locust flies into the sea and turns into fish and shrimp. Am I not right? ”

Fujiwara Shuo looked at Kibi Shinbei and found that Kibi Shinbei had a wry smile on his face, and immediately understood why he didn't ask about disaster prevention before, it turned out that he was worried about the locust god.

Seeing that Ji Bei Zhenbei didn't speak, Zhen Qian continued: "In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, there was a locust plague in Henan. Locusts have wreaked havoc on a large area, ruining the grain that the peasants have worked so hard to grow, and the people are miserable. Some people believe that locusts are sacred insects, which not only cannot be driven away, but also sacrificed. Once a large-scale locust plague occurs, it is often interpreted as a disaster that has been done wrong in the world and has fallen from heaven. In the event of the locust plague, the emperor, as the lord of all the people, should bathe, change clothes, fast, and apologize, and be grateful to God, and the locusts will lie still on the ground, and eventually stay away. ”

"That's a big fallacy!" Fujiwara immediately slapped the case and reprimanded angrily.

Zhen Qian smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor said the same thing today!" Refuted: Doesn't this mean that I don't cultivate virtue, I provoked the locusts, and I still have such great ability. Is it a sign of virtue to sit back and watch the locusts eat the crops? After that, the emperor inspected the disaster and caught a locust in the field and said: You eat the grains of the people, like eating the hearts and intestines of me. After saying that, he swallowed the locust into his stomach in one bite, and asked if the locust was really a locust god? ”

Of course, the emperor could not solve the locust plague by eating one or two locusts, and the prime minister at that time, Yao Chong, had a way to deal with it, so he dug a big pit in the field, set up an isolation zone, and then built a fire. Yao Chong's method of controlling locusts has been promoted in various places, and the disaster has been greatly alleviated, and the locust plague of that year did not cause much harm! ”

Ji Bei Zhenbei is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally knows that the prime minister Yao Chong disaster relief things, in ancient times, the locusts were regarded as locust gods, although Confucianism said on the one hand: do not respect ghosts and gods, on the other hand, it said: sacrifice such as, sacrifice gods such as gods, what do not say anything to blame the gods, ghosts and gods are virtuous, and they are prosperous! Many words are contradictory in Confucianism, but the people are staunch supporters of gods and monsters, believing that the locust plague is a punishment from heaven on the earth, and ordinary people should bear it, not resist, that is, accept it, which is exactly what the ruling class wants to see.

There is some contradiction in the matter, but it is very simple to understand, that is, what is powerful to the ruling class is to be proclaimed, and what is unfavorable is to be belittled and suppressed.

Kibi Zhenbei naturally doesn't want to see Saikaido starving all over the wilderness, but public opinion is embarrassed! Do you have the courage of Yao Chong at the beginning?

At this time, Fujiwara Shuxiong had fully understood that Kibi was really worried, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, he had few worries in his heart, and he was thinking about how to do something earth-shattering all day long, and hurriedly asked: "Zhen Lang, quickly tell me all your plans, the people of Hizen are simple, there are not so many taboos, the people take food as the sky, I can't bear to see the people under my rule starving, if God really thinks that I have offended the gods in disaster relief, then let me bear the anger alone!" ”

Kibi Zhenbei is a little embarrassed, at least Fujiwara Shuxiong can say these words impassionedly, but he doesn't dare to say it anyway, his words represent half of the majesty of the court, if even the ghosts and gods are disrespectful, the emperor sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the so-called imperial power is not questioned by others, such courage is not something that ordinary people can have.

Different status,Look at the problem from a different angle.,Kibi Shinbei thinks more about political significance.,As for what disaster has become secondary.,But Fujiwara Brusho is interested in his own control in Hizen Country.,On the contrary, it's more pragmatic than Kibi Shinbei.。

Zhen Qian hates dealing with politicians the most, although the dead are all Japanese people, but he still doesn't like Ji Bei Zhenbei and these people in his heart, although he doesn't show it on his face, but his eyes have stayed on Fujiwara Shuxiong.

"The so-called ignorance of the people, most of them are the reason for not being educated, some foolish men and foolish women will have many bad intentions, the reason why they worship locusts as gods, is also to listen to some squires around the bewitchment, and those squires want to make disasters every year, so they can take the opportunity to make a lot of money, disasters together, the happiest are not those hoarding grain merchants, they are the real pests of the country, disasters are crises, and they are also opportunities, if Fujiwara-kun wants to make Hizen country long-term peace and stability, he might as well take advantage of this disaster ......", Zhen Qian said demagoguously.

The corners of Ji Bei Zhenbei's mouth twitched violently, and he naturally heard a strong killing intent from Zhen Qian's words, and when his eyes looked at Zhen Qian again, there was less disdain and more awe.

"O young man! It's really ruthless! ”

Of course, Zhen Qian didn't know what Ji Bei Zhenbei was thinking, but the activities in his heart did not have the slightest impact on Zhen Qian, and what he wanted to do was not something that Ji Bei Zhenbei could think of.

Fujiwara Shuxiong clenched his fists, Hizen Country is the foundation for himself, and now the reason why Kibi Zhenbei is a little polite to himself is actually because Hizen Country is controlled by himself, and strength is king!

Looking at the locust control regulations written by Zhen Qian, and hearing Zhen Gan say the disaster prevention measures, he has already made up his mind in his heart, if anyone dares to stop himself from disaster relief, he will have a deep hatred with himself, and he will be killed!

"What Zhen Lang said is good! But now that the food stored in the Feiqian country is not enough for disaster relief, I don't know what Zhen Lang can do? "In Fujiwara's heart, Zhen Qian has been regarded as an omnipotent existence, and after getting along with Zhen Qian for so long, he has not found anything that can make it difficult for Zhen Qian.
