Qingzhou, Qingzhou City, prefect.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

"I've seen Zhou Qincha!!"

Throughout Qingzhou, the governors of various states and counties came to Taishou Mansion.

The official headed by him is Chen Jia, the assassin of Qingzhou.

"This trip to Qingzhou is dominated by Lord Zhou, if you have any matter, just tell him directly." The eldest princess Huaizhen reacted quite simply, pointing at Zhou Zhenwen and signaling you to find him directly.

"This ......" Chen Jia's expression was a little embarrassed, and he looked at Zhou Zhenwen.

Zhou Zhenwen didn't mind much, he had heard a little about the eldest princess's Huaizhen's character, and said slowly: "Since the eldest princess has ordered, you will act according to the order." ”

"Yes." Chen Jia hurriedly understood, bowed to Zhou Zhenwen, and said: "Zhou Qincha, locusts have gathered in various parts of Qingzhou, and there are droughts in many places this year, I am afraid that there will be locust plagues......

When Chen Jia said the word locust plague, Zhou Zhenwen obviously felt a group of officials standing behind him, trembling slightly.

Obviously, this news, for them, is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

Their own family members know their own affairs, they are very clear about the situation of grain reserves, and even in order to stabilize people's hearts in the court, the situation of Qingzhou's grain reserves is not so clear, but rather vague.

But as the parents of Qingzhou, how could they not know?

"What's so terrible about locust plagues?"

Zhou Zhenwen looked at these officials, his expression was calm, and he stood with his hands in his hands: "This official is standing here today to deal with locusts and control the locust plague!" ”

"Locust plague...... To put it bluntly, isn't it just a bigger flying insect? ”

"Afraid?"

"Are you afraid that you can let the locusts retreat on their own?"

Zhou Zhenwen's gaze swept over the faces of the Qingzhou parent officials, and said in an indifferent tone: "Maybe some of you want to say that the locust plague is a natural disaster, which is difficult to stop, and it is impossible to defeat the natural disaster with human strength!" ”

"And this official tells you that you believe that your fate is determined by heaven!"

"I don't believe in Zhou Zhenwen, I only believe that people will win the day!!"

"Even if the heavens and the earth are overturned, I, Zhou Zhenwen, will win the sky and half of the sky!!"

"If the plague of locusts comes, let it come, but I want to see how fierce the plague of locusts is. How unstoppable!! ”

Zhou Zhenwen walked among these officials and said lightly: "I know what you are thinking, you are the most aware of the situation in Qingzhou today, once the locust plague appears on a large scale, what will be the consequences, you know best!" ”

"I'll put down a sentence here, if the locust plague gets out of control and Qingzhou falls, you will definitely die before Qingzhou falls, and you will definitely die before tens of millions of people in Qingzhou, you can try ......"

As soon as these words came out, sweat broke out on the foreheads of Qingzhou officials, and they all heard the seriousness of Zhou Zhenwen's words.

This is how dare you do it to them!!

The person in front of him is not a powerless and powerless superintendent of the imperial history...... He is the most powerful cabinet chief assistant in the entire Great Wilderness, and the leader of the Tsing Yi Party, the largest party in the imperial court!

With his power, he can move his fingers casually, even if they escape from Qingzhou, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the imperial court.

"Come on, send them something." Zhou Zhenwen sat down and commanded.

"Yes." The guards handed out the printed booklet to each officer.

The Qingzhou officials hurriedly flipped through it, and looked at the content on it, which was a little shocking.

After a full stick of incense, a Qingzhou official couldn't help but ask, "Lord Qincha, do you really want to eat locusts?" ”

Many officials couldn't help but look up at Zhou Zhenwen, waiting for his answer.

"Do you think what the official wrote down is a joke?" Zhou Zhenwen's tone became cold, staring at the official who spoke, "Not only to eat, but also to eat in a big gulp, to let the eating of locusts form an atmosphere!" ”

"From now on, not only you will eat, but I will also eat, even Her Royal Highness the princess will eat!"

"In Qingzhou, up to Her Royal Highness the Princess, down to every common people, everyone has to eat locusts, so that eating locusts can form a habit, and let the people spontaneously catch locusts."

"Chen Jia!"

"In!" Qingzhou Thorn Shi Chen Jia was taken aback and hurriedly responded.

"Sit down for me and take notes." Zhou Zhenwen pointed to the table on the other side and commanded.

"Yes, sir."

As the most powerful assassin in the entire Qingzhou, Chen Jia's current appearance is like a master of the yamen, in front of Zhou Zhenwen, extremely humble and respectful, and his posture is very low.

"I said, you remember!"

Zhou Zhenwen looked at everyone and ordered: "On how to promote the commercialization of locust eating." ”

"Huh?" After Chen Jia finished writing this line, people were also a little sluggish, didn't Zhou Zhenwen come to control locusts?

How...... Why does it seem like this is going to make locusts a business?

Commercialization of locust eating?

What the hell is this!

"Let you remember it!"

"Don't you understand?" Zhou Zhenwen said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Jia nodded hurriedly, not daring to say anything more.

The eldest princess Huaizhen on the side watched this scene with great interest.

With her insight and knowledge, along the way, she also thought of a lot of ways to control locusts.

She has also heard about Zhou Zhenwen's proposal to eat locusts.

As early as halfway through, she knew that she was cheated by the emperor, where did he want to let herself get along with Zhou Zhenwen.

It's clear that I'm afraid of eating locusts, so I let my eldest princess come over and top the bag!

'Huh! Such a big person, and some children's means! ’

The eldest princess Huaizhen was also a little speechless about Emperor Xuan's careful thoughts.

This kind of thing, just say no, isn't it just eating locusts?

What's this!

Along the way, the eldest princess Huaizhen thought a lot, and the biggest problem was that according to Zhou Zhenwen's method of controlling locusts, there would definitely be a problem of poor implementation, and it was inevitable that the policy would be passed down from above and would be deformed.

Because as long as you are human, you will have your own careful thinking, your own understanding, upward and downward effects, and it is normal for changes to occur in the process.

Take the subsidy for catching locusts as an example, suppose you catch a hundred locusts, and the court rewards a penny.

This in itself is a good thing, but if the goose plucks its feathers, if the policy goes out of the capital and is transmitted to the state, it may become half a hanging money, that is, five hundred copper plates.

From the state to the county, it becomes three hundred copper plates, and the county to the county, there may be one hundred and fifteen, or even one hundred copper plates.

From top to bottom, it is obviously a matter of a penny and a thousand copper plates, but in the end, in the hands of the people, there may only be a hundred copper plates left.

There are even some black-hearted businessmen and relatives of county officials, who directly spend money and use a few copper plates to buy low-priced locusts on a large scale, deceive the imperial court rewards, and harvest the people frantically.

They can really do these things.

Under the protection of officials and officials, the people are fish and meat, fish and meat that can be continuously squeezed.

This is also one of the local characteristics.

'All methods are good solutions, but how much can be implemented and how much can be accomplished...... It depends on the ability of the executor! ’

This Zhou Zhenwen is really surprising, he suppressed the officials of Qingzhou so easily, and made them bow down to them, even the biggest thorn in Qingzhou, in front of Zhou Zhenwen, is also as well-behaved as a child!! ’

But to eat locusts commercially...... This is something that Hongu didn't expect! ’

The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at Zhou Zhenwen, looking forward to what kind of method he could come up with to solve the situation of the locust plague in Qingzhou.
