Chapter 684: Mai Cheng

"I'm sorry, you're going to die."

After Qin Tian finished saying this, someone pulled Zhang An out and beheaded him.

For Qin Tian, what he wants has been obtained, and Zhang An no longer has the value of use, of course, even if Zhang An has the value of use, if he can't use it, he still has to kill it.

Qin Tian didn't care about the life of a rebel at all.

After Zhang An was killed, Qin Tian finally showed a smile here.

"It seems that there is indeed an iron mine in the fief of the King of Chu." He said this leisurely, and his heart couldn't help but be happy again.

Originally, he just wanted to build the Tang knife, but the price of iron was too great, and Datang didn't have so much money to do it for a while, but if there was an iron mine, he would be able to save a lot of money.

After destroying Li Hedong, the king of Chu, the Tang Dynasty was almost ready to make Tang knives.

Qin Tian was very excited, and Cheng Chumo and the others stood aside, a little incomprehensible.

It's a big problem, but it's not like this, is it?

"Big brother, what are we going to do next?"

"Continue to exterminate the locusts, and after the locust plague is removed, join up with the other two soldiers and horses, go straight to Jingzhou City, and fight with the king of Chu."

When the sun continues to exterminate locusts, it will be terrible for humans to really start doing something.

And at this time, in Chang'an City, it was a different situation.

The news of Qin Tian's extermination of locusts in Dangyang City spread, but the spread was not very good, because Qin Tian's methods were a little clumsy, and he even used disaster relief grain to force the people to get rid of locusts, and if they did not get rid of locusts, they would not give food to eat.

The matter spread in Chang'an City for half a day, and the next morning, someone stood up.

"Holy Lord, the minister wants to impeach Qin Tian."

The weather in Chang'an was already a little hot, and when Li Shimin heard that someone was going to impeach Qin Tian, he wondered a little, Qin Tian went to quell the rebellion, how could someone impeach him?

He glanced at it and saw that it was Linghu Zan in the middle of the court, and his heart became more and more confused, because as far as he knew, this Ling Huzan had no grudge against Qin Tian before.

A person who has no grudges stands up for impeachment, but he is afraid that something will be true.

"What does Linghu Aiqing want to impeach Qin Tian?"

"Holy Lord, Qin Tian actually eliminated locusts in the land of Jingchu, it seems that this kind of locust god punishes things in the world, and can only sacrifice to let the locust plague recede, how can you artificially get rid of locusts, this is to bring disaster to my Tang Dynasty."

After Ling Huzan finished saying this, many people in the court also stood up and echoed him.

"Yes, Holy Lord, the locust plague can only be sacrificed, otherwise it will anger the locust god and give me greater harm to the Tang Dynasty, which is not good for the locust."

"Yes, in less than two years, there may be locust plagues in Datang."

"Please give an order to stop Qin Tian from eradicating locusts."

"Holy Lord, this is not counted, do you know how Qin Tian got rid of locusts, he actually took advantage of what the people didn't eat, and used the disaster relief food to give them as a bargaining chip, forcing those people to get rid of locusts, whoever doesn't get rid of locusts will starve to death."

"This kind of behavior is simply outraged by people and gods, and the disaster relief food is used to help the people, but he uses it to persecute the people, which is even more despicable than the private swallowing of disaster relief food."

"He has simply lost the face of my Tang Dynasty, and the saint must punish ...... severely"

Above the court, the voices of impeachment of Qin Tian came one after another, one after another, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his face was getting more and more ugly, as the Son of Heaven, he naturally would not think that the locust god punished the world or something, Qin Tian wanted to get rid of locusts, which did not stimulate him much, but Qin Tian used disaster relief food to force the people to get rid of locusts, which was a bit ugly.

There are so many ways to get rid of locusts, why do you use this method?

Li Shimin's eyebrows were condensed, as if there was a wave of anger holding back, he glanced at the noisy ministers, and couldn't help but have a seizure, but at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up.

"Holy Lord, the minister has something to say."

When the words fell, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone still gave face to the prime minister of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin could only continue to endure and asked, "What does the eldest grandson Aiqing want to say?" ”

"Holy Lord, the locust plague is rampant, in the minister's opinion, it is just because of the great drought, the weather is drought, which is conducive to the reproduction of locusts, so there are more locusts and the plague of locusts has nothing to do with the punishment of the locust god. Therefore, the minister felt that there was nothing wrong with getting rid of the locusts. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved, generally if there is any natural or man-made disaster, the emperor will issue an edict of guilt, but Li Shimin is very taboo because he has won the throne, so he is very taboo about this, and if he makes an edict of guilt, it is easy for people to think of him seizing the throne.

And the words of the eldest grandson Wuji are obviously hinted.

Maybe the eldest grandson Wuji didn't think that the locusts were because of the great drought, and he didn't know what was conducive to reproduction, but he knew very well that this punishment was absolutely unacceptable in the world.

Everything in the Tang Dynasty belongs to Li Shimin, and punishing the world is not punishing Li Shimin?

Li Shimin heard the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, and many officials in the DPRK and the central government also heard the meaning of his words, so the people who shouted before that they could not get rid of the locusts shut up.

"The eldest grandson Aiqing is right, the locusts are harmful to my people and should be eliminated."

In this way, no one dared to say that the locust god would punish him, but there were still people shouting about Qin Tian's use of disaster relief food to force the people to get rid of locusts.

"Holy Lord, it's not right for Marquis Qin to do this, it must be severely punished, otherwise how will the people think of my Datang, in case the people make trouble again because of this, I am afraid that the matter of counterinsurgency will not be able to continue."

"Yes, please punish Qin Tian severely......"

Everyone felt that Qin Tian's appearance was a little too ugly, and he had lost the face of the Tang officials, and they still wanted to severely punish Qin Tian, and Li Shimin was still holding his breath here.

However, at this time, Li Ji stood up again: "Holy Lord, the minister has good news to say. ”

Li Shimin was about to have a seizure, but when he saw Li Ji standing up, he could only continue to endure it and said, "What good news does the British Duke want to say?" ”

"Shengshang, the minister has received the news that the wheat planted in the south has been matured and harvested, and the grains are full, and the harvest is good, if it is popularized in a large area in the south, the grain output of my Datang will double next year, so that grain and grass will no longer be the main problem that plagues my Datang."

Hearing that wheat in the south could really be planted, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and the other ministers were also very happy after hearing it.

"Okay, okay, give the order, after this year's rice harvest, all the wheat will be planted in suitable places, and next year I will send someone to the south to buy wheat."

Li Shimin's excitement was beyond words, and at this time, Xu Maogong said again: "Holy Lord, the minister still has something to say, it is related to the elimination of locusts." ”

At this time, Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, as if he understood something.
