As soon as the second master heard this, he sighed that his father was still old and spicy, and sure enough, doing things is doing things, and doing hard work is doing kung fu, if he does it according to his own approach, at first glance it is indeed thoughtful, but in fact, he can't get the credit slowly, and he also makes trouble himself.

Huang Taifu first took the opportunity to tell stories in front of the emperor, from the Taoist priest to send blessings to the prediction of the future, and after arousing the emperor's interest, he said that this little Taoist priest wanted to see His Majesty, and he was very hesitant to introduce him.

When the emperor heard this, he thought it was interesting, whether it was true or not, it was always a pastime, if it was true, it would make a lot of money, and there was a Taoist priest in his hand who could predict the future, and no matter what he did in the future, he could seize the opportunity.

"Announce him to me."

When Mrs. Huang got this sentence, he was ordered to retreat, and then he returned to the house, and he was very kind to Yinchen, personally set up a banquet, accompanied him to eat vegetarian, and made the image of an amiable elder to the extreme.

This is the way of life of Mrs. Huang, he knows that this little Taoist priest has only gone down the mountain, and he does not know how many people are sophisticated and weigh the pros and cons, instead of lowering his eyebrows and begging the other party to remember that he is good to him, it is better to turn the situation into a very good person to you.

In this way, no matter whether Yinchen wants to repay this kindness in the future, they will always have a reason to ask for it and mention it.

With such an arrangement, Yinchen successfully entered the house on the second day and was taken by Mrs. Huang to meet the emperor.

The emperor was very interested in this matter, and deliberately set aside an afternoon to come out to see Hidden Dust, and also prepared some difficult questions, which were specially used to verify Hidden Dust's ability.

Now that the weather was good, the emperor deliberately arranged the occasion for the meeting in the imperial garden, for example, asking him to guess whether the next person who would pass through the imperial garden would be a man or a woman, and summoning a few concubines to come over and let him see who the emperor favored the most.

The emperor was very satisfied with these questions, if it was any other question, he could still know it through listening, but only he knew these problems in his own heart, no matter which concubine or minister, would not know about these problems, and no one could really see the heart of an emperor.

The first question was, whether the next person to come to the front was a man or a woman, and the emperor arranged for a palace maid to come over, but Yinchen said that it was a father-in-law.

The emperor smiled and said nothing, the first question was wrong, he had already seen the appearance of this little Taoist priest in a different place.

Before the palace maid who was in the distance stepped forward, the eunuch beside the queen had already hurried over: "Your Majesty, the queen mother should have come when she heard about this, but she was unwell at this time and could not come, so the special servant came to report." ”

The emperor nodded: "Tell her to recuperate." ”

The emperor looked sideways at the little Taoist priest: "The Taoist chief is really like a god. ”

The emperor was surprised and puzzled, but he did not expect that this little Taoist priest was right, the empress loved face, and when he heard that he summoned the concubine to show the Taoist priest who he loved the most, he sent someone to say that he was ill, that is, to tell everyone that the emperor would only love the empress the most, and because she could not be present, he reluctantly chose one of the remaining people.

After that, the emperor did not let the concubines show up, and took a screen to cover them, and even the ministers present did not know which concubines they had invited over and where they stood behind the screen.

The little Taoist priest looked at the screen for a while, then closed his eyes, opened his eyes after a while, and pointed to the position on the left side of the screen: "Your Majesty's heart belongs to him now." ”

The father-in-law went to the back to take a look, and then came back to listen to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's Concubine Liu."

The little Taoist priest silently glanced at the surrounding crowd, and then said softly: "He is the most important person His Majesty loves now, but unfortunately there is no form and no god." ”

The emperor looked sideways and looked at this little Taoist priest, his expression was unmoved, but his heart was turbulent.

The most beloved person, the form but not the god.

Only then did the emperor accept the idea of having fun, and only then did he pay attention to the people in front of him.

"What the Taoist said is true, and I also ask the Taoist to give advice, what do you see in the future?"

The little Taoist priest said: "I have to bathe and burn incense and tell my ancestor before I can tell Your Majesty the most critical things." ”

The emperor nodded: "It's not a problem, come on!" Send the Taoist chief down, and wait for the Taoist chief to bathe and burn incense! ”

This trial ended in this way, and after bathing and burning incense, the little Taoist priest came to see the emperor again in the evening, and arranged the priorities of what he wanted to tell the emperor, and told them one by one.

The emperor's face became more and more solemn when he heard this, and he gradually doubted that the situation was now very good, Heqing Haiyan, and the situation in the south was a little worse, but except for the south, all places were very good, and Shangjing was not affected at all, and the border form was also very good.

The little Taoist priest looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't be frightened, you can know that a dynasty often can't spend three hundred years, this is the catastrophe of the country, the cause is complicated, but on the whole, it is the case, there is no need to be surprised, but now everything is fine in Daning, I am going down the mountain to help Your Majesty survive this catastrophe, after this catastrophe, it is not difficult for Daning to have another three hundred years." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was amazed for a moment, hesitated in thought, and his expression gradually became clearer.

The change of dynasties is a common thing, just like the number of people's life is long and short, Daning to the time of the death of the country, but now in his hands is still thriving, it can be seen that he is extraordinary, can reverse everything, if he does all this well, through this catastrophe for Daning to continue the life of another three hundred years, the first Ming Jun of the ages, the praise of eternity, should fall on his head.

After pondering the matter, the emperor pondered: "Then, as the Taoist chief said, the first thing that is most important next is that there is a drought, and the ditch is being dug, and there is no hurry to come for a while. ”

"As for the plague of locusts." The emperor pondered for a moment: "I still need to plan how to deal with it, I have a minister in my hand, named Shen Hong, who has gathered many capable people under his command, all of whom are proficient in the people's livelihood. ”

Yinchen nodded: "Your Majesty is for the country and the people, which makes Xiaodao admire." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "The Taoist chief goes out of the mountain for the people of the world, which is what I admire." ”

The emperor was satisfied, and the heavens sent a disaster to Da Ning, but countless people came to assist him, he was the real Ming monarch and noble, and the destiny of heaven was desired.

……

In this way, the little Taoist priest succeeded in ascending to the throne, and the initial prophecy of drought was successfully fulfilled, and then he was reused by the emperor, and the national teacher became an ornament in front of him, and the emperor had to summon him once in two or three days, which was more diligent than summoning the second dog.

Shen Hong also invited a lot of experts to come over, and Lin Piao also participated in the discussion, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with the past once the locust plague came.

The experts who came over did not know what was going to happen later, but they only heard Shen Hong say that they should consider the prevention and control of the locust plague, and they were not very nervous about this matter, so they were able to speak slowly and in a clear manner.

"If we want to prevent and control locust plagues, we can consider solving them from the root cause, and every insect eats different things, some insects love to eat rice, and some insects specialize in harming fruit trees, and these cannot be compared; if we want to talk about locust plagues, locusts like to eat rice and barley, which are all common grains, so once a locust plague occurs, it will be very fatal, and if we plant soybeans, sweet potatoes, and other things, the damage will be much lighter."

Shen Hong looked at them and said, "What if the spring ploughing has passed and the crops have already been planted?" ”

Lin Piao was also worried about this matter, but if he had known earlier, he would not have been so hasty in ordering everyone to change crops before spring ploughing.

Lin Piao thought for a while and said: "Chickens and ducks all eat pests, and they can suppress the existence of pests. ”

The expert thought for a moment: "This is naturally possible, but it requires too much money, and the people must be encouraged to raise chickens and ducks." ”

Lin Piao said: "Rice field fish and rice field duck can be raised together, this matter is really troublesome, the rice field will not run away in the field, but the chicken and duck are easy to get lost, and even be caught by others, as long as someone privately catches it once, and then the family will not raise chickens and ducks like this easily." ”

Shen Hong also nodded: "This matter is not small, if the people don't like to raise chickens and ducks, this method will be useless." ”

The expert thought for a moment: "I remember that an uncle told me that raising honey can also stop locusts, and he said that in a place, if there are too many natural enemies of locusts, locusts will naturally not be able to inhabit and reproduce in this place. ”

Another expert said: "Another way is that locusts like to live in low-lying grassy areas, and these places can be converted into fish ponds or duckling factories, and the locusts must be suppressed in the environment from all aspects." ”

An expert next to him smiled and said, "If you can't do it, you can eat it, anyway, if you don't have food, you will eat locusts." ”

Lin Piao thought about it, and it was not impossible to crunchy and high in protein, but the large-scale locust plague was reduced to a small locust plague, and the locusts were still enough for the locals to eat, but the food had to be kept as much as possible.

They discussed and discussed together, and in the end there was only one conclusion to this matter.

This matter is up to Duck Duck.

First of all, we must promote the duck breeding business in the north, and then focus on duck breeding, support the duck breeding industry, develop the duck breeding industry, and try to develop everything within two months, so that the ducks and ducks can quickly take up their posts.

At that time, even if the grain is eaten by locusts, but ducks can eat locusts, and people can eat ducks, as long as the rations are not broken, it will not be regarded as an irreparable disaster.

After discussing the two of them returning to the courtyard, Lin Piao was so tired that he tilted his head and rubbed his neck, and said to Shen Hong while rubbing: "If duck breeding is really implemented, it can be regarded as the development of animal husbandry, and the overall agriculture alone is relatively thin, and it will indeed be much better to have animal husbandry as an auxiliary. ”

Shen Hong stood on the side of the bed, took off his coat and put it on the soft couch beside him, and saw that Lin Piao had been rubbing his neck, so he stepped forward, sat down next to Lin Piao, reached out and pressed on the connection between his neck and shoulders, and the hot palm was very ironed against the skin.

Lin Piao let go of his hand and asked him to rub his shoulder.

"Piao'er thinks about it thoroughly, so that the southerners and northerners have their own things to do, and I just hope to get through this difficulty."

Lin Piao smiled: "Definitely, although it is hard, but it has been dealt with comprehensively, and these will be developed, and in the future, when the time is good, the rice and wheat will be harvested, and the chickens and ducks will lay eggs in flocks, and the efforts made in this way have paid off, and some assets are far more abundant than before." ”

Lin Piao thought that life was indeed a little difficult, Shangjing deserved to be Shangjing, and he chose the best place, basically there were no major disasters approaching, and the southerners were digging ditches, and the northerners had to raise ducks.

Lin Piao sighed: "Daning is also full of holes, the drought in the south is so serious, if you don't notice this problem first, take precautions, the rain is always not enough in the past few years, and it can't fall, so I don't know what kind of scene it is, there is a locust plague in the north, and the alien races outside are going to form alliances, and it is really a bad luck." ”

Shen Hong kneaded his shoulder, came closer, and put his chin on Lin Piao's shoulder, Lin Piao felt that Shen Hong's side face was pressed against his ear, and the subtle vibrations when he spoke were transmitted.

"With us, it is not difficult to continue Daning's luck, we were born in peace, and we are destined to live in peace."

Lin Piao nodded.

Shen Hong thought of Lin Piao's past, and suddenly became a little curious.

"What about Piao'er's world? Is there a war? Is there a disaster? ”

Lin Piao thought for a moment: "It can't be said that there is none, but if you only talk about your own country, there is nothing at all, there are still some in the world, as if there is a very distant country that has been at war, but the people of our country will not be affected in any way, but we can always see those things in that country." ”

"Never go to war?" Shen Hong was a little surprised.

"It's been more than 70 years since there was peace, and there will be conscription, they are all guarding the border, or being a servant, and stealing things on the street, which is different from ancient times, conscription is voluntary, and they will not draw strong men, and if they want to serve the country, they can serve the country if they want to, and if they want to do something else, they can also do what they want to do, and as for the disaster, there will definitely be an impact, but we have a thing called the South-to-North Water Diversion, and our south is different from the south of Daning, and we have a lot of water and lakes in the south. The water from the south will be sent to the north to use, and then there is a function of tap water, which is to be led by a pipe, as soon as the switch is turned on, the water inside will gush out, and you can also use that water to water the ground, but it is more expensive, and it is not cost-effective to water a large area, but there will be no shortage of household water. ”

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao in amazement, Piao'er lived a thousand years later, that place had already become omnipotent, with the power to move mountains and seas, and could send water thousands of miles away to another place for use, even if the ground dried up, people still had enough water to drink.

Piao Er comes from such a place.

No wonder he lived so freely and comfortably, as if he didn't know what sorrow was.

Just by coming here, Piao Er has already lost a lot.

If you can't have a peaceful and prosperous world, if you can't sing and dance, do you want Piao'er to live with him in the troubled times?

Shen Hong tilted his head and kissed Lin Piao lightly: "Piao'er, I will make Daning more like your home." ”

Lin Piao looked sideways at him and smiled slightly: "This was originally my home." ”

The home is called this because of the presence of family.

"You're the most important thing to me right now." Lin Piao looked at him and kissed the corner of his mouth.

……

Lin Piao asked someone to write a complete duck breeding manual, from hatching eggs to raising ducklings, basic disease care, duck pen environment care, daily need to pay attention to what to prevent illness.

Then Lin Piao invited a few chefs from Shangjing and Tongxilou to write a duck eating manual with him, and compiled 36 famous duck dishes, all of which were at the level of famous dishes, and wrote them in the most understandable way.

The two of them ordered someone to copy and distribute the booklet, and then asked the duck ambassador to take it to the north together.

The emperor ordered two people to go to the north to carry out this plan, and it was the right attendant of the household department who set out with the champion of Enke in the second year, and asked them to be responsible for mobilizing everyone to raise ducks together, and to inspect the topography of the place, and to classify the places that are more suitable for the growth of locusts into dangerous areas, and then start the plan of catching locusts in advance.

In addition, it also publicized it in the north, saying that His Majesty had asked someone to settle the matter, saying that now that the north is being washed down, there may be a disaster, and the result of the calculation is most likely to be a locust plague, so it is necessary to make preparations in advance to protect the grain in the north.

People don't necessarily believe in other things, but if you want to say that fortune telling has calculated something, you have to believe half of it first, plus the imperial court's mighty propaganda to raise ducks, but also to raise duck subsidies, ducks are cheap and affordable, and it is nothing for a family to sell a pair.

Lin Piao also sent a person from Tongxilou to be an investor, and asked him to go to the north to build a Tongxilou, but he did not sell such things as pickled pepper rabbit kebabs, and adapted measures to local conditions, to make duck packages, repair roast duck stoves, stew duck soup, collect local ducks, sell local ducks, and guide the duck industry chain to be built, so that duck farmers can rest assured, whether it is to suppress locusts in the ecological chain or to develop animal husbandry, this is a very good step feat.

Ducks as the mainstay, supplemented by other industries, environmental management, and the restraint of locusts, in just two or three months, the letters from the north have already announced that they have achieved remarkable results.

The ducklings are all grown.

Everything is ready to go, just waiting for the locusts to come.

Lin Piao still had some worries in his heart, after all, the locust plague always came out of nowhere, and suddenly it became a disaster, and it came like a wave in his face, and he didn't know if there would be such a trend this time, or if something had been changed invisibly, and everything could not be verified.

Shen Hong saw that he was worried, so he comforted: "Piao'er doesn't have to worry too much, even if it is not prevented, with ducks, things will not become too bad, there is finally something that can support the bottom, and things will not be blindly bad, people live in the world, as long as there is still hope, there is no moment of despair, it is a turning point." ”

Lin Piao was very emotional, he didn't expect that he would be able to drink the chicken soup that Shen Hong poured for himself in his lifetime.

"Very good, I drank it! Let's rush! ”
