"The people take food as their life, if there are really locusts destroying the food, won't it mean the lives of the people, this world belongs to Your Majesty, and if such a thing happens, all the losses are Your Majesty's.
"What Guanyin said makes a lot of sense."
Li Shimin said.
At this moment, his tangled matter was immediately much better in his heart after Empress Changsun said this.
As the old saying goes, "A man does not do evil things when he has a good wife."
Wei Zheng often spoke outly and always made Li Shimin unhappy, so Li Shimin always wanted to kill him, but he was wisely persuaded by Empress Changsun to give up the idea of killing the virtuous people.
After listening to the words of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin thought it was very reasonable, so he made a decision in his heart, his ambition was to be an emperor who made a difference, and immediately summoned his close courtiers back.
The next day, when he went to the court, Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there was a famine in the first year due to a shortage of food. ” After Wei Zheng finished speaking, all the ministers were a little unsettled, according to today's saying, if there is a locust plague, the emperor is immoral, this is a big taboo, and he can only talk about this matter, isn't this directly embarrassing to His Majesty the Emperor.
If it was without Li Shimin's consent, Wei Zheng would not have done this kind of thing, but now that he has benefited from it, he is fearless, don't look at Wei Zheng is famous for his direct advice, but the person who can do this position is not a tendon.
There are a lot of smart people in the court, and to put it bluntly, this matter has a lot to do with the emperor himself, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said: "Food is the foundation of nature, and the minister thinks that it should be prevented early." ” After the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and spoke, then Fang Du also seconded the proposal, and the court quickly formed a one-sided trend, but a few old ministers did not support it, in their concept, this kind of thing is the emperor's endless virtue, and they also vainly want to control the locusts, which is a betrayal, but the situation in the court does not give them a chance to speak at all.
Then I heard Fang Xuanling say: "There are ancient and modern ways to control locusts, locusts are afraid of people during the day to drive people away, and they can be burned at night. ” "Quasi-play."
Li Shimin immediately said.
The plan for controlling locusts was quickly formulated in the court, and these were all discussed by Li Shimin with several ministers yesterday, and they came to implement it today, and the dust settled Li Shimin's heart also fell a big stone, and now he hopes that it is best not to have insect plagues Since he succeeded to the throne, natural disasters have continued, which is not a very good sign.
In fact, making this decision has something to do with Empress Changsun, but more of it consulted with "experts", Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and finally came to the conclusion that there must be a locust plague before they were ready to give it a go.
A few days later, the yamen of the state capitals were given decrees to control the locusts, which was about their performance evaluation, so the officials were all concerned and strictly followed the strategy issued by the imperial court to control the locusts.
Guo Shouyi, the county magistrate of Lantian County, did not expect that the imperial court would be able to hype up the control of locusts, so he was even more concerned about this matter, and it didn't take long for the squires of Lantian County to start raising chickens, ducks and geese, and a large part of them were purchased from Erlizhuang, Wuli Township.
After this period of grain transit, the price of corn in Chang'an dropped a little, from 20 to 15 wen, and this price began to remain stable.
People no longer feel fresh about corn, as a kind of food, they prefer to be able to buy cheaper, and Chengdu's corn reserves are too big, if they are not consumed, they may all be smashed in the end, so the market price began to fall.
The Yuan family's team to collect grain is collected according to ten cents per catty, and the harvest is still bud rice particles after nearly six or seven months of drying, buds are very dry, this price to receive such bud rice is very cost-effective, so the Yuan family's team can run four times a month.
During this time, the accumulated grain has exceeded tens of millions of catties, but the food consumed by pigs is also very huge, and some pigs have been prepared to sell during this time.
In the department store, the main food at noon is large porridge, and many merchants like to customize this as lunch at the snack bar in the mall, which is cheap and delicious.
In the office of the department store manager, it was enough for Yuan Shan to take a look at the big porridge, and said to Lan Lan, who was eating fragrantly, Qin Si and the others: "Don't you feel tired of eating this thing every day." ” "It's strange that the young master doesn't like to eat, this is the way you have researched to eat."
Lan Lan said coquettishly.
"Well, I already feel full when I watch you eat."
It's delicious and you can't eat it every day, you have been eating it for half a month, no matter what you eat, you will get tired of it, Yuan Shan muttered in his heart, but seeing that these girls didn't have any disgusted expressions, he immediately dispelled the idea of questioning.
"Corn is a coarse grain, and I think boiled bud rice tastes better."
Wonshan said that despite this, he still only eats a boxed lunch, which is rice and some stir-fried vegetables.
The business of boiling bud rice is good, now the early stall used to buy Hu cakes will now cook a big pot of bud rice to sell, the price is very cheap and can be full, Chang'an City as long as it is a snack stall, the business of the east and west city is exceptionally good.
After lunch, Yuan Shan took Lan Lan to the fertilizer workshop, this year's spring ploughing is about to begin, he also wants to learn about the fertilizer reserves of the fertilizer workshop, compared to the previous year, the area of the workshop is larger, it is all wasteland and no one manages it, in fact, it is very risky for them to do this, after all, this land is illegally occupied.
After checking it, I learned that this year's fertilizer reserves are much more than the previous year, but it is impossible to cover all of them in Lantian County, but it is not easy to have the scale of today, the workers of the fertilizer workshop are mainly from Lanhe Village, which has brought a lot of benefits to the village, and now their living conditions are much better than last year.
Then Yuan Shan went to Lantian County again, and the direct center is still full of people, and there are more and more people looking for jobs, if it is not solved, Guo Shouyi may have to go to the Yuan family manor every day to find him, and I just went over to see it today.
Passing by the crowded entrance of the employment center, Won Shan finally decided to turn around and go to the yamen, if he had in the past, he might have caused more riots, and now there are not so many jobs available for these people.
"Yuan Shilang, you can be counted, I'm dying of worry these days, those people are wandering around the employment center every day now, I really don't know what to do."
Guo Shouyi said.
"Guo County's order was a great sweat last year, mainly because the water conservancy fortifications were unsatisfactory, it was better to apply for funds for the construction of water conservancy projects, open canals and divert water, and build waterwheels, although the wages could not be given to the people, but at least two meals could be guaranteed, so that the problem of excess labor could not be temporarily solved."
Yuan Shan said.
