Chapter 858: Special Scheme
Household Yamen
When Long Xingche came to the Yamen of the Household Department, he made a big fire!
"You bunch of wine bags and rice bags! The people of Suizhou are hungry, and the food I asked you to send has not reached Suizhou so far, what is going on? ”
Chang Zhengwen, the new head of the household department, knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "The emperor is angry! After the emperor issued a holy decree to the household department, we prepared disaster relief food overnight and sent it to Suizhou, but no one replied. Just before the emperor came up, Weichen had already sent someone to Suizhou to find out the reason! ”
Long Xingche remembered what Xue Junlan had told her today, so he said to Hubu Shangshu: "There is no need to find out the reason!" Someone has already come to inform me of the details. I want you to personally escort the disaster relief food to Suizhou, there must be no mistake! ”。
When Chang Zhengwen heard that Long Xingche asked him to personally charge the grain, he was sincerely afraid and shirked: "But...... There are still many things to deal with in the Ministry of Households! ”
"Let others do those things, if you, the head of the household, can't transport the grain to Suizhou, I will directly ask for your head!" Long Xingche said that he was in a hurry, and knocked Chang Zhengwen's head with a fan.
After Chang Zhengwen was scolded by Long Xingche, he was so scared that he sweated like rain!
"Yes! Wechen obeys, we obey! Wechen immediately went to count the relief grain, and he must personally transport the grain to Suizhou! ”
After the previous Hubu Shangshu retired due to illness, Chang Zhengwen climbed to the position of Hubu Shangshu through a good relationship. Now because the grain was not transported to Suizhou once, he was asked for his head by Long Xingche, and he was too wronged!
After Long Xingche watched Chang Zhengwen run out in a hurry, he glanced at the official document that was thrown away by him when he was angry in the household yamen.
"One household! It's a mess that can't even get food to the disaster area! Hum! Long Xingche angrily kicked and smashed a chair in the hall again.
When Fu Wenjing came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, she happened to see that the chair was kicked and smashed by Long Xingche, so she came in and comforted: "Your Majesty, the concubine just saw that the Household Department Shangshu was directing people to put the relief food on the carriage, I wonder if it was possible to go to Suizhou for disaster relief?" ”
"Exactly! A dignified household can't even transport food, so I asked him, the head of the household, to personally send the grain to Suizhou, if even he can't transport the grain, I will kill him and bury the people who starved to death in Suizhou! Long Xingche finished roaring, and sat down on a chair angrily.
Fu Wenjing saw Long Xingche's angry appearance, so she carefully persuaded: "Although the emperor is angry, he must also analyze this matter calmly. No matter how bold the household is, it will not dare to disobey your order, of course, it is essential to transport the disaster relief grain to Suizhou first, but it is also impossible to ignore the matter of strictly investigating it afterwards. ”
Long Xingche also heard that the people in the household department had begun to count the grain and move it out, and his face softened a little: "Regarding this, I naturally want people to check!" I decided to let someone I trust with me this time, and I will definitely be able to find out everything! ”
At this time, Fu Wenjing remembered some of the medicinal and edible values of locusts, so she proposed to Long Xingche: "There is a locust plague in Suizhou, has the emperor found a solution?" The concubines feared that the locust plague would spread. ”
Long Xingche's face was full of worry: "I also know something about the locust plague, there have been locust plagues in Chen Kingdom before, but because of the small scale, it has not been able to become a climate. It's autumn again, so it didn't take long for the fuss to disappear. But this time the locust plague in Suizhou seems to be getting more and more fierce! ”
Fu Wenjing slapped the table and stood up: "After the emperor left just now, I also chatted with Junlan for a while, and I heard that there are so many locusts there that there are a lot of nets. Since there are so many locusts, then everyone can eat their stomachs! ”
After Long Xingche heard Fu Wenjing's words, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he stammered, "You...... You...... You mean to let them eat the locusts. But when it comes to the purpose of locusts, I seem to ......"
When Fu Wenjing saw Long Xingche's sudden realization, she asked, "The emperor thought of something, right?" ”
Long Xingche nodded and agreed: "I do remember some things, I have read in your "Compendium of Materia Medica", locusts are a traditional Chinese medicine!" ”
As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Fu Wenjing understands the medicinal value of locusts, but she is worried that Long Xingche does not know that locusts can be used as food, so she said: "That's right, Emperor Shengming, but what the concubine wants to say now is that locusts can not only be used in traditional Chinese medicine, but also a very nutritious insect!" If you let the local people catch locusts and eat them, they can be fried, fried, cooked, and fried. It can also be used as a substitute for food! Then, the damage of the locust plague will be much better at the same time! ”
When Long Xingche heard Fu Wenjing say this, he also frowned and thought carefully about the knowledge he had learned when he read Fu Wenjing's medical book before......
When locusts are used as traditional Chinese medicine, they have the effects of relieving cough and asthma, detoxifying and diaphragm, and can also be used to treat whooping cough, bronchi, asthma, convulsions, sore throat, rash, bronchitis, and antispasm. And it also has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the stomach and spleen, long-term food can prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and external use can treat otitis media. Locusts after autumn frost can cure bacterial diseases and enteritis......
"If you're not sick, isn't it okay to eat all the time?" Long Xingche was worried that if the people ate too many locusts, it would be bad if they caused physical discomfort.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! Locusts taste similar to shrimp. It is rich in nutrition, the meat is tender, and the nutrition in the body is more reasonable than that of livestock and poultry and other meats! However, as far as I know, the people of Chenguo have never regarded locusts as a dish on the dinner table at home, are they willing to eat them? Fu Wenjing thinks that even if this matter is to be implemented, it must first make people believe that locusts can be eaten!
"If you're right, that's a tricky question. The local people will only be driven away because the locusts are pests, if they are allowed to eat them......" Long Xingche thought about it carefully, and it was difficult for him to eat, let alone the local people!
Fu Wenjing looked at the disgusting look on Long Xingche's face, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: "The concubines have a way to make them willing to eat locusts together, I wonder if the emperor is willing to help?" ”
Long Xingche knew that Fu Wenjing had always been eccentric and could think of any way, so he asked anxiously: "Hurry up!" If there is a way, let the Hubu Shangshu bring this method to Suizhou, and then let the local people be self-sufficient, catch locusts and eat, and deal with the disaster by the way! ”
Fu Wenjing looked at Long Xingche meaningfully: "This kind of thing needs to be led by a respected person!" If he can eat it, then the local people will definitely eat it too. ”
Long Xingche is not a fool, he knew what Fu Wenjing thought when he saw her appearance: "Do you mean to let me personally go to Suizhou to eat locusts and show the local people, and then let them follow suit?" ”
