In the first winter of the first year of Zhenguan, there were only a few light snowfalls, and it was silent before it was cold for a few days

Resting on the ground, he crossed over.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai holding a booklet and pointed to the form of each period of the green worm he painted, he was the first

I know that this is how butterflies come from.

On the table in the imperial study, there was always the insect egg that Xiao Zheng had cut off from the tree for him and the copy of Li Tai

Album. Sometimes, after finishing state affairs, he would walk out of the hall and look up at the sky, and the expression on his face would become extremely solemn.

In the spring, I took the important ministers to the fields, and in some fields that could not be watered, the tips of the plowshares were full of smoke and dust after cutting through the soil

There is much less water in the Hejing River than before, and it can be seen that several important ministers of the court and the central government are very worried.

Spring drought has become inevitable.

When he was farming, Li Shimin issued a very strange edict, asking all counties and households in Guanzhong to support more families

Poultry, after the spring count, the family of more than 10 poultry will be rewarded with a bucket of grain, and the poultry is still handled by themselves.

It is normal to raise chickens and ducks in the countryside, these things can live by eating some wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains, and they will return to the court at a glance

With this good thing, what about raising a few more, don't choose cheap for nothing. For a time, I got the eggs in Chang'an City

Nothing, all were taken to hatch breeding birds.

When it came to Qingming, God had a few light rains, and there was finally a little spring on the Guanzhong Plain.

Xiao Zheng accompanied Jin'er back to Shenhe Bay, because of Xiao Lu, Jin'er took her son to the master's grave for the first time.

Putting the offerings on the table, Jin'er cried sadly for a long time.

persuaded her to return to the small village, Xiao Zheng suddenly had a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, and returned home to take a few

The old man called.

Xiao Zheng was not polite and directly told a few old people about the locust plague, and Lao Wangquan's face turned pale after hearing it.

He lowered his head for a while and said, "Xiao family boy, go and see that the weather is warm in winter but it is abnormal, and there is less rain this year.

It turned out that the waterwheel in our village moved a foot into the river to reach the water, and you said that there was a locust plague and the old man also believed it, if it had been before

A temple should be erected to worship the locust god."

"Old man, it is strictly forbidden to worship any bullshit locust god in the future, and the only way to deal with locusts is to kill them and then hurry up" Xiao Zheng boarded for the first time

said to Wang Quan with a face.

"Those locusts are as numerous as cow hairs, and they can't be killed endlessly, how can it be good."

"Listen to the court, let the village raise more ducks and geese, the more the better, don't worry, there will be other methods when the time comes, old."

You must listen to the kid."

When he left Shenhe Bay the next day, he asked Xiao Hai to find a way to sell more poultry before returning to Chang'an.

As soon as the Qingming Festival passed, Wei Zheng appeared in the fields of Hebei Province in Shandong Province with a large number of people and horses, and arrived at the big villages and towns

The farmland was first addressed, and a well was dug out in a few days by hiring local villagers. A new type of waterwheel goes to the well,

Under the rotation of the livestock waterwheel, the water source is continuously drawn from the well, and the farmers who are frightened during the spring drought

The husband has a few more reassurances and expectations.

Before leaving, Wei Zheng told the county officials that the waterwheel was strictly forbidden to be used by landlords or Haoqiang who owned 300 acres of land

The report was found to be killed on the spot, and the county official was dismissed from his post on the spot and investigated, and as soon as the words came out, he immediately won the favor of tens of millions of people.

Those landlords who can't use it look at this kind of waterwheel and are very greedy, so don't let me use my family's money to be the head office by myself. that

No problem, each county government has put a drawing of a waterwheel, as long as you go to see the county official, you will never stop it, let this dry up

The long-lost field saw the long-lost moisture.

At the same time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Zhengxiao, who was famous for his laziness, all appeared in Chang'an City from time to time

Between the villages, the villagers were curious to watch when they came, and there was a voice of gratitude behind them when they left.

When I took a few children to Sunjiazhuang, the flowers in Sun Laohan's pear orchard were gone, and there were fingers and stomachs between the leaves

Small pears appear.

"Grandpa, the ground on our Zhuangzi is fortunate to be watered with your waterwheel, otherwise it would have been all in this year of drought

Half of the people in the village had to flee the famine. The little old man left you more than a dozen acres of land, and you won't plant those precious crops anymore

It's a little late, and the farming time doesn't wait for anyone," Sun Laohan kindly reminded.

"Thank you, old man, don't worry, pumpkins can be planted at any time" The two were talking, and Xiao Zheng found five

Hua restlessly scraped her front hooves, let out a moo roar in her mouth, and kept rubbing Xiao Zheng's legs with her neck.

"What's wrong? Five flowers," Xiao Zheng asked, patting its horns.

"Master! You see a lot of birds flying in the distance," the sharp-eyed Xiao Changning pointed to the large clouds rising in the sky

As he spoke, the dark clouds changed shape and got closer and closer.

Before he came, the "buzzing" sound vibrated people's eardrums, and when they were almost there, they could see these stars clearly

When he was doing something, Sun Laohan suddenly knelt on the ground and let out a beast-like howl: "God, this is a locust,

Why are the lives of our croppers so miserable! …”。

At first, he saw a few of them fall on him, and after a while, the locusts that covered the sky and the sun pounced on him

came over and hit his face in pain. Looking around, the leaves of the newly sprouted crops are crawling with brown bugs, and pears

The trees are also dotted everywhere. Sun Laohan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also crawling with locusts, and these things were gnawing on leaves

There was a rustling sound that made the roots of the child tingle.

"Master, I'm afraid" Xiao Li Tai and Xiao Changning are still young after all, although they are protected by guards, they see such a scene

The scenery is inevitably a little uncomfortable.

asked them to send them to the carriage, turned his head and said to Li Chengqian and Lou Shide: "Are you afraid? ”。

"Don't be afraid! A few insects are afraid of what he will do" The two little guys, although their faces were a little pale, looked at them with resolute expressions

It can still stand.

"Yes, Master didn't teach you in vain," he said, patting the shoulders of the two of them.

Sun Laohan got up and was about to run home like crazy, Xiao Zheng grabbed him and asked, "Old man, you want to go."

Do? ”。

"The old man is going to set up an incense table, worship the locust gods, and let them go to other places quickly," Sun Laohan said in a hoarse voice.

"Listen to me, old man, you should find a way to kill these bugs now" I didn't have time to explain to this guy.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zheng picked up a shovel and shot it at the locusts on the ground.

"Grandpa Guo, I can't help it, so the locust god will blame it even more," Sun Laohan said with some anxious eyes.

"Less nonsense! Hurry up and call people, everyone call out to exterminate the locusts, the locusts can't kill you now, I'm here

In the can soon take your life do you believe it or not! ”。

Xiao Zheng's momentum that erupted in anger immediately stopped Sun Laohan, and saw that Li Chengqian and Lou Shide were also there

Desperately fighting the locusts, Sun Laohan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you are not afraid of several nobles, Xiao."

What are you afraid of, you wait".

After saying that, he turned around and ran to the village to .......

In Chang'an City, Li Shimin stood under the tree outside the hall, looking up at a willow tree, which was already hanging down on top of the willow

The scriptures are full of locusts, and the willow leaves have long been eaten away, and not far away some chamberlains are beating the locusts with brooms, but the palace

but there were more and more locusts flying over.

Li Shimin clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, pursed his lips and looked coldly at the locusts flying in front of him.

After waiting for a while, he said to the eldest grandson beside him: "Pass the decree, hit the Taihe bell."

Wonderful!
