Chapter 241 Locust Plague She didn't believe they could still cure it
When Wei Lin looked up, An Ran had already left, so he asked Xiao Li's father-in-law beside him: "Where is the queen?" Wasn't she just on top? ”
Xiao Li's father-in-law also wondered, "Xu saw that the emperor was below, and the mother came down." ”
But Wei Lin waited for a while, and the lady didn't come to him.
Lady, where have you been?
Are you tired and go back to the palace to rest?
Wei Lin found that he was becoming more and more inseparable from his mother, and he was very flustered when he didn't see her for a while.
An Ran followed Gonggong Li into the north hall, Feng Yu's injury was almost healed, and when he saw An Ran, he knelt down and saluted: "The grass people have seen the queen mother." ”
"Get up, you're still wounded." An Ran asked Gonggong Li to help Feng Yu up.
Feng Yu said gratefully: "Xie Niangniang cares, Niangniang sent an imperial doctor to treat the grass people, although the grass people's injuries are not completely good, but they are no longer serious. ”
"Well, that's good, it's been a hard time for you."
Feng Yu shook his head, he was very guilty that he had slighted the queen mother when he was in the deep mountain village, so that he didn't dare to look directly at the queen mother until now, thinking of his previous self, Feng Yu's head was about to hang down to his chest.
An Ran knew what Feng Yu was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Feng Yu, you can stay here with peace of mind, wait for your injuries to heal, the matter is over, the emperor will reward you with a knighthood, and you will live the rest of your life well." ”
"Yes, Queen Xie was promoted." If it weren't for the queen's words that made him wake up, he would still have been immersed in Liu Yan's deception and used by her.
"Father-in-law Li, help me take good care of Feng Yu." An Ran handed Feng Yu over to Gonggong Li, and then took Xiao Cen and the others back to the palace.
Wei Lin walked anxiously around the hall, where did the lady go? Leaving for so long and not telling him an explanation, he was so worried.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is here." Xiao Li's father-in-law saw An Ran hurriedly running into the hall to return.
Wei Lin hurriedly came out to greet him, pulled An Ran and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Seeing that Wei Lin was in such a hurry, An Ran smiled and said, "I just left for a while, look at you in a hurry, didn't I tell you yesterday?" Feng Yu is coming, I just went to see Feng Yu. ”
"Then you won't say hello to me when you leave." Wei Lin was a little angry.
"What's there to say hello to, just for a while." An Ran found that Wei Lin was getting more and more childish, so he had to coax him: "Okay, okay, I'll say hello next time if I leave for a while, okay?" ”
"Well, that's pretty much it." Wei Lin took An Ran into his arms.
An Ran found that Wei Lin was more tired of her than before.
The relationship between husband and wife seems to have warmed up a lot unintentionally.
Maybe this is because the longer the husband and wife are together, the more mellow the relationship.
This life is worth it.
"Wei Lin, Feng Yu said that Cui Mao will send Liu Yan to destroy the relationship between us and provoke you and me to kill each other." An Ran said softly.
"Well, let's come when she comes, didn't we say it was okay anyway?" Wei Lin didn't take Liu Yan to heart at all, he wanted to see what Liu Yan could do to destroy his relationship with his wife, and provoke the husband and wife to kill each other, where did he get the courage?
Wei Lin smiled contemptuously.
"I don't know why Cui Mao is so confident that he can trust Liu Yan to provoke us, or he just wants to use Liu Yan to test how deep the relationship between us is, maybe he wants to lay the foundation for the next one, but I really can't think of how Liu Yan can enter us, even if she cries and tears in front of me and says wrong, let me forgive and recognize me as a godmother, I can't accept it anymore, where do they get their confidence?" An Ran didn't understand, and looked up at Wei Lin.
"I don't know." Wei Lin also felt strange, "Since Liu Yan is coming, let her come, just use her to lure Cui Mao out and catch them all." ”
"Hmm." An Ran didn't think about it.
Anyway, when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, and she will see what kind of waves Liu Yan can turn over.
Half a month later, the disaster in Huainan has been controlled, Lord Li in the inspection of the disaster, all the time in front of everyone to praise how wise the queen mother is, if it is not for the queen mother proposed to fight the disaster, do not transfer the army to dredge the flood, just rely on the court to relieve the disaster how much silver does it cost?
It is better to dredge the flood like this, the embankments on both sides of the river are strengthened and heightened, and the people can return to their homes, just like the experienced old man said, although the flood caused great losses, but after the soil washed into the rice fields, the crops grown are growing very well.
Seeing that the court helped the people to fight the flood and disaster relief so much, the people were grateful to the court, and thanked the queen mother and the emperor for what Master Li said, some people have lived all their lives, and they have never seen the court help the people like this. Love Me eBook
Every time there is a disaster, how many people are displaced and starved to death.
And this time, the people really saw the efficiency of the court, to be honest, as in the past, the court gave some rice and grain down instead of not having enough to eat, and finally starving to death and not being able to return to their homes, it is better to help them fundamentally like the current court, these ordinary people, can go home and have a field to plant.
"Master Li, why is the queen so powerful?" Local officials have been listening to Master Li praise the queen's mother, it is hard to imagine that a woman is more far-sighted than a man, in the hearts of many of them, it should be the emperor today, right?
The emperor is both civil and military, why doesn't Lord Li praise the emperor? Praise the queen mother?
Seeing that these people were suspicious, Lord Li smiled and said: "Even our current emperor praises our queen mother as a heavenly immortal who descends to earth to save the Li Min immortals, you have never seen the queen mother, like that......"
Master Li thought of the playful appearance of the mother at the gate of the palace, and his face was full of smiles, and continued: "The queen mother is not only beautiful, but you have also heard of the gunpowder weapons that our emperor won the battle, right?" It was developed by the Queen Mother. ”
"So powerful?" Everyone exclaimed.
"Also, didn't you receive an official letter from the court this time, asking the counties to issue treasury bonds? This is also mentioned by the queen mother. "Master Li said that the queen mother's face was full of pride.
"Really? It was the first time that the lower officials had heard about the national debt, and it turned out that the treasury was empty, and the court could still raise money from everyone in this way, and in the past, the court was forced to pressure merchants to donate money, and every time we officials came to ask for money, how much those rich people hated us. An official sighed.
"Yes, yesterday when the lower official went to the town Liao Yuanwai's house, he told him about the treasury bonds issued by the court, and the people took out 20,000 taels to buy treasury bonds at that time, and asked him to donate silver in the past, and it was good to be able to press a thousand taels. Another official smiled bitterly and told everyone what happened yesterday, "As soon as this treasury bond is issued, we, the local officials, will be less angry and will have a face." ”
"yes, yes." Everyone feels the same way.
As local officials, to be honest, no one wants to offend the local rich households, but if the court forces them to pay money to the rich households, they can only offend people with their heads.
Now, instead of pressuring the rich to donate money, the court issued treasury bonds, and the interest for a year was more than that given by the bank, and those who had surplus money in their hands did not want to buy it, and they also bought a lot.
"Master Li, Xia Guan has been an official for almost a lifetime, and now it can be regarded as having gone through four dynasties, and there is really no court that is so considerate of the people as now, Xia Guan went to notify all households and resettle the victims, and it was the first time that he felt so easy to be an official." The year-old official expressed his feelings.
"Let's see, in the future, our Guardian Congress will become stronger and stronger." Master Li said confidently.
"We all believe that the court can put the people first, and if the country has been founded for two months and has done many good deeds, the country will definitely become stronger."
"Now that the people support the court, it is impossible to defend the country if it is not strong."
Everyone talked a lot, and they were full of confidence in the current court.
Defending the country finally ended the century-old war and chaos, and devoted himself to doing practical things for the people, wouldn't it be unreasonable for such a court to be not strong?
After inspecting the disaster situation in Huainan and distributing rice and grain to the local people, Lord Li returned to the court to resume his life.
Then, as soon as the flood in Huainan subsided, another locust plague broke out in Xizhouhui County.
Lord He of the Ministry of Household is scolding the sky, God deliberately makes it difficult to defend the country, right? Can't you let the country spend a good year peacefully?
When An Ran heard that the locust plague had broken out in Xizhou, she was very happy, and said to Wei Lin: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go to Xizhou with her second uncle in person. ”
"What are you going to do?" Wei Lin was in a hurry.
"Eat fried locusts, it's a very delicious delicacy." An Ran said excitedly.
"Huh?" Wei Lin asked, "Locusts can also be eaten?" ”
"Of course, Your Majesty, you wait for me here, and I'll come back to bring you something to eat, and I promise that you still want to eat after eating." An Ran couldn't wait to go to Xizhou.
Without waiting for Wei Lin to agree, An Ran packed a few clothes and only took Xiao Cen out of the palace to find the second uncle.
Wei Lin saw that his mother was so anxious, he didn't even want to wait for him for a day, and called Wei Guo, "You are in charge of the country, and you have something to discuss with those ministers, and my father will go after your mother." ”
"Hey, Daddy." Before Wei Guo knew what was going on, his father ran away and handed over the affairs of a country to him in a daze.
An Ran and her second uncle brought oil and 10,000 taels of silver, and headed to Xizhou in a hurry.
In Liangshan, Xizhou, Cui Mao looked at the large fields of the people below full of locusts, and said to Liu Yan: "I heard that the Huainan flood took less than a month to dredge the flood, and it was Gu Heng's army, and the people of Huainan are singing praises to the Weiguo court, and I heard that many people also gave Wei Lin and Lin Wan'er everlasting lanterns?" ”
Liu Yan snorted coldly: "The use of the army can naturally cure the flood, but it is just a trick to buy people's hearts, this time the locust plague in Xizhou, I want to see how Wei Lin and Lin Wan'er deal with it?" ”
The flood can be cured, she doesn't believe that the locust plague can be cured, these locusts will not wait for them to dredge like water, these locusts can fly, even if Wei Lin mobilizes 50,000 troops, I'm afraid it can't be destroyed, right?
