Chapter 507: The house leak happened to rain overnight

'Jinyi's detective strength is still not enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info', Li Chen said calmly, after all, the time is still too short, although he has a plan for Jinyi and vigorously develops it, but he has only been on the throne for five years, and it takes time for development.

Following the rebellion of the old army of the Beijing Division, a series of news came. First of all, in several feudal towns, there were incidents of expulsion of commanders. First of all, Li Chen has been in Xuzhou. Wu Ningjun was hit by Li Chen, and he was very peaceful for a while. Now he is restless again, and he has expelled Li Kuo, the envoy of Jiedu.

The location of Xuzhou is very important, and the Grand Canal passes through here. Since Wang Zhixing established the seven capitals of the silver sword as a soldier, there have been repeated incidents of chasing commanders, and the soldiers are arrogant and untamable.

Not only Xuzhou, but also the south. In April, on April 9, the Lingnan Metropolitan Wang Linghuan was in an uproar, and Yang Fa was imprisoned and retained. This caught the court off guard. The seriousness of the matter lies in the fact that this is an important place for finance and taxation, because there is a Lingnan City Bo Division. Although the tariffs do not go into the treasury, Li Chen often uses internal funds to fill the deficit in the treasury, especially at this time, when the money is needed, which is more serious.

Although Li Chen took office, he added a city shipping department in several ports, and he can also go to sea here. No longer to the past, it must be concentrated in Lingnan or Annam. However, Lingnan City is still very important, and many businessmen still habitually moor here.

The turmoil in Lingnan had a direct impact on tariff revenues. The rebels even attempted to sack the maritime merchants. Fortunately, because of the importance of customs, Li Chen had a garrison here, and the sergeant on the port side blocked the chaotic army a little, allowing some maritime merchants to sail out to sea.

However, there were still many maritime merchants who were looted by the rebels, and suffered heavy losses in personnel and property. In addition, the rebels even tried to storm the gathering place of the Hu people in Guangzhou. However, it was an attempt, because these places have always had extrajudicial jurisdiction.

Datang just let these Hu people manage themselves by themselves, and just don't look for trouble if they have nothing to do. So they have some slight defensive power. After the riot, they urgently blocked a wave of rebels, and then these Hu merchants mobilized, Jiang himself got his own family, the slaves gathered, issued weapons, and only guarded the gate of the Li Fang, not allowing the rebels to enter, so that there was no disaster for the time being.

However, Guangzhou has been affected by this wave, and I am afraid that these businessmen will not dare to continue to stay here. Even, Guangzhou will be depressed a lot because of this.

This is not over, and then in May, the Rongzhou army was in turmoil, and Wang Qiu was slightly envoyed. Supporting the establishment of the capital Yu Hou Laizheng, as a strategic envoy. This is very bad, Rongzhou belongs to the Rongguan Jie Du Envoy, just next to Lingnan, and there are signs of convergence between the two military chaos. If they echo each other, I am afraid that Annan will also be in danger.

The connection between Annan and Datang is very weak, the land range is not large, and it belongs to the management of Yongguan Town next to Rongguan, if it is cut off, the connection between Datang and Annan will be broken. Although there is a sea route, it is not as convenient as the land route.

To add insult to injury, when the imperial court was in a hurry, three more military rebellions occurred, and at the end of May, the Hongzhou military rebellion drove Mao He to observe Zheng Xian. Immediately after the beginning of June, Xuanzhou made a rebellion against Kang Quantai and observed Zheng Xun one by one. Zheng Xun fled to Yangzhou.

Xuanzhou belongs to the Xuanshe Army, Hongzhou belongs to the Jiangxi Army, and the two places are close to each other, and what is worse is that this time the two places are adjacent to the Huaiyang area, which is an important place for finance and taxation in the Tang Dynasty.

The Xuanshu Army is directly located in the middle of Huainan, western Zhejiang, and east, three feudal towns. The northeast corner of the Jiangxi Army is adjacent to the southwest corner of the Xuanshu Army, and it is bordered by Huainan and eastern Zhejiang. These two military riots directly threatened the source of revenue of the Datang treasury, especially at this time, when the summer tax was shipped, and if it was not handled well, it would be impossible to make it all come up with this year's summer tax.

This is a bit exaggerated, but Huainan and eastern and western Zhejiang, the three places, are the main revenue of the Tang Dynasty's treasury, and they must not be messed up. In a series of bad news, there are two good news, if self-comfort is also good news, first of all, there was also military chaos in eastern Zhejiang.

The observation of eastern Zhejiang made Li Ne irritable and arrogant and rude to the soldiers. Also at the beginning of June, the soldiers rioted and expelled Li Ne. Fortunately, there was not much turmoil, no one stood on their own, and the imperial court only needed to send a new Jiedu envoy. The other is. There were several military rebellions that were launched, such as Rongguan, Lingnan, Xuanshe, and Jiangxi, and the spread was not serious.

A few rebels also failed to control the whole town, and they were only in a few military towns, launching military rebellions, expelling observers or jiedu envoys, and Datang still had time to clean them up.

'The house leak happened to rain overnight. Things are already very bad, and Datang has also suffered a plague of locusts. Henan Province, Huazhou, Puzhou, Qizhou and other prefectures, persuaded the agricultural judges to report. Frogs.

The so-called locust refers to the larvae of locusts. Locusts were found to have wingless larvae from large locusts. This means that in another ten days and half a month, when they become adults, there will be a locust plague.

Li Chen was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, what was going on. He admitted that he had confessed to several military rebellions, and he was supposed to dispose of those prison guards at the beginning, but now he gave them a chance. Fortunately, not everyone will be like this. However, these military rebellions have already hit the key points of the Tang Dynasty.

And now it is found that there is going to be a plague of locusts. The military rebellion is still led by people, and there is no such thing as a locust plague. It happened at this time. He rejoiced that he had set up peasant judges in various places. They have a duty to pay attention to local disasters.

They are all educated in agriculture and know that after a drought or flood, even if it is not serious, they must pay attention to whether there will be locust plagues. Now that the results have been seen, these larvae must be culled as soon as possible, otherwise this season, not to mention the harvest in Henan Province, I am afraid that even a few adjacent roads will not be avoidable.

Since the beginning of spring, a series of bad news has made the imperial court seem to be shaky. In addition to the above, there are also a few festival envoys, who are not very concerned about the crusade against the rebellion in Youzhou Town.

First of all, it is the Chengde Army, Hengji Town, which should bear the heavy responsibility. didn't move at all, it is said that Wang Yuankui, who was seriously ill, returned to the council, but he was too sick to go on the expedition. And Wang Shaoding, who was the original temporary generation, is currently nowhere to be found, and it is said that he is under house arrest.

At present, it is impossible to hear more news, Cheng Dejun is still stable under the rule of Wang Yuankui, and Jinyi has no way to find out more news at present.

The other three towns, there is not much progress, Dutun soldiers under the city, this is also the norm of these feudal towns, the preservation of strength is the top, or in other words, it is difficult for the Jiedu envoy to urge the troops, and they are in a hurry, these soldiers do not dare to defect and change generals before the battle.

In addition, after Bai Min was out of the town. Internally, punish those who are too brutal to the party and harass the party. On the one hand, he ordered Yuancheng to make Shi Yuan attack, break the Pingxia party in Sanjiao Valley, and burn more than 9,000 accounts. Bai Minzhong wrote to ask for pardon for the party, and Li Chen decided to discuss the matter together to see how to deal with it.

"First of all, what is the way to deal with the locust plague?", at the meeting, Li Chen decided to deal with the locust plague first. In the imperial history, Cheng Zhou Qi spoke first, and he reported several ways to exterminate locusts in the Tang Dynasty.

The way of exterminating locusts in the Tang Dynasty was represented by Yao Chong, the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and there were ways to hunt and kill by burning fire, trapping, and digging ditches. Zhou Qi suggested that it could be adopted locally.

There is a bit of an interlude. Locusts, a punishment from heaven, is not only because of what celestial induction says, but also locusts, the emperor. Locusts are equal to royal insects, so they dare not hunt them.

Really on this issue, during the Taizong period, Taizong took the lead in eating locusts to break this statement, but in the Xuanzong Dynasty, some people took it out and said it. And then in his time, there are still people who hold on to this statement.

In fact, when the locusts were discovered, the local agricultural judges persuaded them to hunt and kill them. As a result, Puzhou assassinated the history and actually objected. quarreled with the judge on the spot. The two played separately and impeached each other.

Li Chen was happy to see it, he was not angry at the moment, but he went directly to the edict and changed the name of the locust, which was called a beetle (sound pain) insect. It was decreed that no locusts would be called locusts in the future. Changed the name to vineworm. This is the period of the Three Kingdoms, and Wu Guolu mentioned the name of the locust on him.

I don't care what you want to call the people, anyway, the official will not call it locust, nor locust plague, but beetle and beetle plague in the future. It's not to cover your ears and steal the bell, the people really want to kill insects, so no matter what kind of insect you call, if you dare to eat my crops, I will fight with you.

However, the non-governmental organizations need to be organized, and the organization still depends on the government. As long as the official does not have this taboo, it is good to organize the people to kill insects. That's why the name was changed. I believe that this kind of stupidity has existed before, and it exists now, and if it is not renamed, it will happen again in the future.

This is a very good law. Li Chen nodded, and then he said his own way, well, of course, how to kill locusts in the future. Pesticide? Look at it in a few hundred years.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were several methods of replenishing locusts, but in the Song Dynasty, they were more progressive. There are more methods such as the Ming Jin Driving Method, the Seed Digging Method, and the Plundering Method of Using Tools to Fly While the Locust Wings Are Wet in the Early Morning. Xinjiang and other places have eliminated locusts by raising ducks and chickens.

Li Chen felt that these methods were good, and put forward his suggestions. At the moment, it was quickly passed, and the states and counties made every effort to replenish the locusts, and if it was wrong, they made every effort to catch the locusts. Because this matter is very urgent, I will use fast horses to pass several methods to the state and county.

Let all states and counties fully cooperate in mobilizing chickens and ducks in their territories and find ways to cull them. At this point, Li Chen is a little fortunate that many local agricultural judges are counseling the people to raise chickens and ducks. Because, compared to raising pigs, chickens and ducks are easier to raise.

After the locust plague was resolved, the discussion began on how to assess the rebellion in various places. At this moment, Li Chen and the others have discussed the success of the German army, and they are also deliberating.

Cheng German Army, Hengji Festival Envoy, Shuai Fu. A low air pressure covers the ridge here. With a sallow complexion and a sick face, Wang Yuankui sat on the main seat. Although he is very ill, he is still very majestic, and to his left is his wife, Princess Shou'an.

At this moment, Princess Shou'an is bowing her head and weeping, the family is unfortunate, why did there be such a rebel, fortunately, his conscience is not clear. She looked at a woman sitting on Wang Yuankui's right side with a complicated expression, her face was covered with frost, and she sighed.

'Yi'er, I don't think it's okay now, this burden can only be handed over to you. Wang Yuankui sighed, looking at the second son sitting on the left, this second son, his temperament is not bad, but he is too young, several years younger than his brother.

He has not held any important positions, only assisted himself in handling some official duties, and he really didn't feel at ease when he put such a heavy burden on him, not to mention, this second son, with a relatively weak personality, like his mother, he really couldn't afford this burden. But there is really no way, that unfilial son, it would be good if he didn't kick him out of the house, or kill his relatives in righteousness.

'Master, big brother, he.... Wang Shaoyi also wanted to argue a few words for his brother, but was glared at by his aunt opposite him. Just retract the words. His brother is really... Not to mention that his father was so angry, if he committed such a big rebellion in normal times, he would not tolerate it.

would actually drug his father, his biological father, fortunately, the amount of medicine is not heavy, otherwise his father would not be able to recover, even so, his father's body has collapsed, he was once so tough that his father can speak, but he is still weak, he can only push himself out, fortunately, his father is conscious.

Administer by yourself, and if you have any questions, you can ask your father. Then, when the eldest brother and son grow up, he can return this burden.

As for his aunt... Thanks to his aunt, she must have been very angry, she was placed under house arrest by her nephew, and thanks to her aunt's good skills, she rescued her father by holding her brother through her brother's will. is innocent of the child, and he doesn't know another thing, that is, why the nephew wants to put his aunt under house arrest, and finally gives his aunt a chance, subdues his eldest brother, and rescues his father.

He turned to another matter, 'My son led people to hunt down the thief, but unfortunately he couldn't be caught, and someone leaked the news. ’

'Hmph, a bunch of people eating things other than Li Chop. It's really eating plums and grilling outside. Although Wang Yuankui is seriously ill, his tone is still sharp, he knows who is ventilating the news, eating inside and out, he has long been very dissatisfied with the prison army, Datang, should have gotten rid of these eunuchs a long time ago, and now he is doing a good job, as soon as he ascends the throne, he will use thunder means to sweep away the universe, but unfortunately he did not attack these local prison troops, and now he has given them an opportunity to take advantage of.

'Master, that's right about the thief. Wang Shaoyi's face was solemn, "The thief said that." ’。

Wang Yuankui was silent, "Big husband, death is death." We will not participate in the Youzhou incident, and we will go all out to prepare for the war from now on. ''Shouldn't you have knocked out Youzhou first?'' Wang Yuankui shook his head, "Youzhou, Zhou Pan is not yet a climate, the Jingsai Army and the Yongtai Army are still in the hands of the Zhang family, now they are just waiting and seeing, if there is a chance, I am afraid that they will fight back first." ’

After Zhang Zhongwu was appointed as the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, he appointed his brother Zhang Zhongbin and brother Zhang Zhongzhi as the leaders, and they are still in the hands of the Zhang family. If you want to ask, why Zhang Zhifang didn't go to those two relatives, it can only be said that he doesn't deal with both of them, and it is better to go to Chang'an than to take refuge in them. There is more pleasure, Youzhou is a bitter cold place after all.

"What's more, since the new monarch ascended the throne, he has made great efforts to govern the country, and he has a lot of prosperity", Wang Yuankui showed a sarcastic smile, "Those anti-thieves are just looking for death." ’

Just when Li Chen was discussing how to deal with it and gradually quelling the rebellions in various places, worse news came, and many foreign races outside the Cypriot Islands jointly invaded the Tang Dynasty with 200,000 allied troops. The world is terrified.
