Chapter 194: Ten Droughts and Nine Locusts
As a child born as a peasant, the hawker knew what grain meant to the peasants of this era, and after leaving the palace, the hawker drove directly to Niujiazhuang.
Although it was already dark, you could still see people working with torches in the field from a distance. ”
"Hey, uncle, you're back."
The hem of the old man's clothes was tucked into his waist, and he was carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, probably watering, "Uncle Youde, are you watering?" ”
The old man handed the bucket to the person next to him, "Isn't it, I haven't seen a drop of rain fall for more than three months before and after this year, and I can't look at the crops in the field."
"Can this thing do it alone?" The vendor pointed to the buckets that the villagers were carrying, and it was hard to imagine that it would be time to harvest the wheat after watering their own fields.
The old man's face was bitter, "What else can I do?"
"Uncle, you are really, I bought a sprinkler with a handheld belt at that time, why don't you use it?"
The old man was stunned: "Sprinkler irrigation machine? What is that? ”
Seeing the old man's expression, the peddler knew that everyone had forgotten about it, "Uncle, get in the car, where are the things that go with the handhelds?" ”
"It's in the ancestral hall of our village"
The two of them came to the ancestral hall, and found the set of things they bought for the hand-held time belt in the side room vendor, and the sprinkler water pipe was still brand new!
"Uncle, you go and ask someone to open our hands and pull this thing to the place where you get water."
"Hey, uncle, wait a minute, I'll go and call someone."
The peddlers loaded the sprinkler and pulled it to the river, but fortunately, the river near Niujiazhuang belongs to the upper reaches, and the water flows directly from the mountains, and it will not be cut off.
When the river held up the deflated water pipe and ran forward like a snake, the villagers ran excitedly with the current.
When the river water gushing out of the mouth watered the arid land, some people even knelt down and kowtowed to the vendors, and quickly pulled up the overexcited people, "Okay, don't fix these useless things, see how it will be operated, hurry up and get it, I'll buy some for everyone again"
Ten sprinkler irrigation machines are obviously not enough, not enough this efficiency is much faster than the villagers use buckets of buckets to improve the efficiency of buckets by buckets, after dawn the hawker went to buy another ten, when the twenty sprinkler irrigation machines together to exert time, the hawker knew that his wheat was saved.
Looking at the villagers watering the land with joy on their faces, the hawkers are thinking about why no one likes to farm in modern society anymore, and they spent more and more small 100,000 yuan on this night, according to the calculation that one acre can earn 200, this night 500 acres of land is planted in vain, this is only the case of watering once, if you come a few more times, it is better to abandon it!
Forget it, I don't want to do this, it doesn't matter how much money is spent, as long as the villagers are happy, step on the cigarette butts, the vendor goes to the school to see the twins and goes back to Chang'an.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he was arrested by a eunuch who gave orders, "The national teacher happened to be back to you, and our family was about to look for you."
"Find me, what's the matter?"
"Our family doesn't know, Your Majesty said that he would bring you to the palace as soon as he saw you"
"Oh, let's go."
The hawker had no choice but to follow the eunuch into the palace, although Li Er had already said yesterday that he would not go to court today, but the hall was already overcrowded, and Li Er was anxiously walking around it with his hands behind his back.
As soon as I saw the vendor come in, it was like seeing a savior, "Dabao, you are finally here, give me a seat"
The peddler had never seen Li Er lose his temper like this, "Your Majesty, what's wrong, why is it so..."
"Hey, look for yourself" After speaking, Li Er picked up a stack of folds from the dragon case and handed it to the hawker, and the hawker didn't care if he was taboo or not, he picked it up and flipped it.
I've been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, and I can make do with some of their articles, and after reading the basics, the hawker also chuckled in his heart, and the matter was a bit serious.
There is nothing else on the fold, only the emergency books from all over the country: Longzhou is in an emergency, Fenzhou and Qingzhou Huaiyuan and so on have been in a hurry, all of them are in a big drought, and there is a bad situation is ten droughts and nine locusts, from the depiction of the fold, the hawkers seem to see the grasshoppers flying in the sky.
Seeing this situation, the hawker also scratched his head, judging from the source of the twist, it seems that no place in the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty can be spared, and the scope is too large.
"Your Majesty, this... What are your charters? ”
Li Er sighed and shook his head, "I don't have a clue, it seems that I really lost my morality, and I made the heavens angry and resentful, so I got this report, come on, pass the order, amnesty the world, and in three days I will sacrifice to the heavens and pray."
For Li Er's showmanship, the hawker pouted, what should he do scientifically if that thing can be used well, but in front of so many people, the hawker is not good at refutating it, and besides, Li Er's sacrifice to the sky must be operated by the Daomen, what a good opportunity to make a name for himself, it can't be wasted, so the hawker bowed to Li Er like everyone else, "Your Majesty Shengming"
After complimenting Li Er, what should the others do, Li Er left the hawker "Dabao, I saw your expression just now that you seem to have something to say, I don't know what it is"
"Well, Brother Li really knows everything, in fact, there is no way to solve the locust plague, but there is a lot of cost in it."
I heard that Li Er was in good spirits at that time, no matter what the cost was, as long as this locust plague could be saved, at least no one would talk about his own morality anymore, this is a big deal. Cure the problem.
At that moment, Li Er grabbed the peddler's shoulder, "Dabao, brother, please, as long as you can help me control this locust plague, how much money will cost, I will pay it back double"
With the hawker's brain, he can't understand Li Er's current worries, the ancient people always paid attention to what kind of celestial and human induction, once something bad happened, they would pull it on the monarch, Li Er is most afraid of this now, so if the hawker can really solve this matter, the matter of money is not a matter!
When the peddler heard Li Er's assurance, he was also happy in his heart, he traveled thousands of miles to cross, isn't it just for food and clothing, since he has money to take, nothing is a problem!
"Okay, Brother Li, don't worry, the matter is on me, you can do it."
After leaving the palace, the hawker went home to find Lao Wang, who is now in charge of the hawker haberdashery
"Dabao, hey, rare guest, why is there a lack of things, what is missing, say, brother, I will deliver it to you"
"Uh, Brother Wang, you can help me get 10,000 sprayers, and by the way, help me buy a few tons of locust extermination..."
"Knock...."With the sound of something falling to the ground, the phone was hung up, and the vendor looked at the mobile phone in his hand in a daze, this Lao Wang's ability to bear it is too poor!
It's been a long time since the phone called, it's an unfamiliar number, but when I opened my mouth, it was Lao Wang's "Dabao, what are you doing here?"
"Uh, the three fat family has been damned, and I am responsible for giving him disaster relief"
"You just talk about it, forget it, I don't care about your things, I'll try to touch things for you."
"I know that Brother Wang is righteous, then I will wait for your good news" (to be continued.) )
