441 The Cruelty of King Qin

[This is an additional update for the 240 votes, there are still two hours left today, let’s fight!]

Li Yuanxing is a human being, a man of flesh and blood, affectionate and righteous.

But the King of Qin is not. Before Li Yuanxing, the only people who could be called the King of Qin, except for the kings of Qin in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, were only the kings who were granted titles in later generations.

However, since the First Emperor won power, and during the reign of Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin was given a new definition.

Now it is Li Yuanxing's turn to be the king of Qin.

After the banquet, Li Yuanxing opened the curtain in the conference hall and turned on the projector.

Above the curtain is a huge locust!

"This thing is a locust, but what is it before it actually causes a disaster?" Li Yuanxing flipped over the picture: "Before a locust becomes an adult, it must first go through the larval stage and the nymph stage. Many children are playing with grasshoppers. Now go

If you ask dozens of children in the fields, they will soon be able to string hundreds of strings together!"

There are many grasshoppers, and there are many in the fields.

Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, many people's expressions changed. Could it be that this locust plague is really a divine punishment?

Why has this normally harmless grasshopper become such a huge disaster?

"What are locusts?" Li Yuanxing asked again, and then answered his own question: "It tastes sweet, pungent, and warm in nature. It can strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, relieve wind and spasm, relieve cough and asthma, and unblock collaterals."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Yuanxing reciting a medical scripture.

"So, what can locusts do?" He asked back and answered his own question: "It is used for spleen deficiency, lack of food or malnutrition; acute and slow convulsions, convulsions and spasms; whooping cough, bronchial asthma, wheezing and coughing and shortness of breath. So,

This thing is a treasure for children!”

"Your Highness, you have confused us!" Fang Xuanling stood up and asked.

Li Yuanxing knocked on the table: "Don't worry, let me continue."

The picture changed again, and it was a frog: "Everyone here should know that frogs in the field eat at least more than a hundred nymphs every day, at least more than 10,000 in a summer." The picture turned again, and it was a bird: "

I know that there are hundreds of species of birds that like locusts, because they are a delicacy to the birds."

"Your Highness, why did the locust plague appear?"

"After a severe drought, there will be a locust plague. Because of the severe drought, there are no frogs in the fields. If the birds have no water to drink, they will naturally go to other places to find water. The solution to the locust plague is very simple. Without a severe drought, there would be no great locust plague.

.I raise three million chickens in my village. If these chickens are let out, they will eat at least two hundred locust nymphs a day."

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Changsun Wuji asked: "Drought is also a major disaster!"

"Will there be drought south of Chang'an City?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"No, Your Highness, the canals here cover the entire Chang'an County. Even if it doesn't rain for a year, there won't be a severe drought!" Wang Jishan gave a pertinent explanation.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Is the locust plague still a disaster?"

"It's a disaster!" Li Jing stood up at this time, saluted Li Yuanxing, and then saluted all the ministers: "I have experienced a locust plague, and I think 90% of you here must have experienced it. I think that what His Highness is talking about is

It will be effective in the long run, but there will be a big disaster next year, and it is impossible to build water power and raise so many chickens now!"

Li Yuanxing sat down. He had already told the ministers what locust plague was. Although some of the explanations were not scientific, the general meaning was sufficient.

If anyone really wants to study this locust in the future, I will provide them with detailed information.

In the living room, everyone had begun to argue. Several pavilion masters of Tianying Pavilion suppressed the argument. Cui Junsu came directly to Li Yuanxing and saluted: "Your Highness, you must have a plan, please speak out!

"

"During the Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu encountered disaster years, they would give up the old and the weak. Have you all studied this issue? I will only say one thing, give up the Xiongnu clan to continue, otherwise the whole clan may not be able to survive the winter.

This is the cruel fact. What do you think?"

Confucianism talks about benevolence.

Even if you understand this kind of giving up, who dares to say no or give such an order?

Li Yuanxing looked serious: "I am not qualified to tell anyone to give up, and formulate a locust war plan. Distribute it to states and counties, and order them to raise a large number of chickens and ducks, dig deep wells, and renovate rivers. There are four hundred miles around Chang'an, and Hebei Province

To the south and west of Hengzhou and throughout the Hedong Road, whoever can raise enough money and food in each state or county, I will dispatch troops to help repair rivers and dig deep wells."

"Your Highness, won't you help if you can't raise enough money and food?"

A censor stood up and asked.

"Do you want to impeach the king?" Li Yuanxing asked with a sneer: "Then you answer how many people there are for the king, the twelve guards, plus the state soldiers. Do you have enough manpower available? All states recruit state soldiers, and you can just say a word

After being mobilized, where will the money and food come from? It’s because the tools don’t cost money, or the soldiers don’t eat!”

Li Yuanxing's tone was a bit stern.

The censor's face turned red and faded away.

Another official stood up and saluted and said: "Your Highness, the warehouse is full of grain now. The warehouses in Luoyang, the warehouses in Chang'an, and even His Highness's warehouse cannot hold the grain. Can't these be used to control locusts?"

"Ha!" Li Yuanxing sneered twice and walked a few steps to the Minister of Civil Affairs: "Is the Tang Dynasty the one who appoints officials? Don't you know how big the Tang Dynasty is and how much manpower it has." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he turned around:

"I would like to ask you, which section should be built first and which county should be governed? How do you allocate it?"

After Li Yuanxing finished asking, before the official could respond, Li Yuanxing asked Cui Junsu again: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue, doesn't the Ministry of Revenue have a plan and plan for spending money? In case the Tang Dynasty encounters an emergency and the treasury is empty,

How did the Tang Dynasty keep the country safe?"

Big hats were put on, and many officials lowered their heads.

"I want to go to my cousin. All officials should have their duties. The Yushitai should supervise the integrity of the officials. Don't talk randomly about issues you don't understand. I have made up my mind. The locust plague is divided into areas that must be saved.

, a place of relief, a place of self-rescue. How to distinguish it, I will write to Tianying Pavilion to discuss it carefully."

After saying this, Li Yuanxing stood up and left.

Li Yuanxing said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

There is no point in saying anything else, at least for now.

Li Yuanxing did not go back to the study, but went straight back to the backyard. In front of the big house, more than twenty beautiful girls were practicing weird postures. Li Yuanxing's originally tense face suddenly smiled.

"Your Highness, don't laugh, you're making me lose my breath!" Zheng Xiuyan shouted loudly at Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Don't laugh, don't laugh!"

Li Yuanxing walked into the house, and Cui Yingying followed him in alone.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Li has sent you some medicine for internal and external use. I will help Your Highness take the medicine!" Cui Yingying said as she helped Li Yuanxing take off his clothes. At the same time, she said in a low voice: "Your Highness, why don't I take your Highness's bath?"

Li Yuanxing kissed Cui Yingying's ear gently and whispered: "Maybe you want to give it a try..."

Cui Yingying's face turned red immediately and her head was buried deeply in Li Yuanxing's arms.

"Let's go to the bathroom!" Li Yuanxing put his left hand around Cui Yingying's waist.

Not long after, Cui Yingying, who couldn't hold herself back any longer, suddenly screamed. This caused more than twenty beauties to stumble and several of them fell to the ground.

"He, them!" Zheng Xiuyan pointed in the direction of the bathroom in surprise.

"Why don't you, sister Xiuyan, go in and take a look." Li Liyuan could naturally hear the cry.

Zheng Xiuyan went in stupidly, and then...

Zheng Xiuyan's screams were heard again, and then Zheng Xiuyan, covered in water, escaped.

Several people led by Li Liyuan stripped Zheng Xiuyan naked in a few strokes and pushed her back to the bathroom.

At this time, in the palace of Chang'an City, Li Er was preparing to have dinner with Queen Changsun.

"Let Erlang accompany me to eat these rough foods, I feel uneasy!" Empress Changsun said in a low voice while helping Li Er fill the rice.

"It's okay. These foods are good for Guanyin's health. You should eat more. But Wulang is too stingy. There are so many exquisite ingredients in Qinwangzhuang. How can we not choose some more exquisite ones?" Li Er comforted his eldest grandson.

The queen complained about Li Yuanxing's stinginess.

Empress Changsun smiled lightly: "Erlang, I'm afraid Wulang will be in trouble now!"

"Are you saying that all the ministers have gone to Qin Wangzhuang?" After Li Er asked, Empress Changsun nodded slightly. Li Er smiled: "You underestimate Wu Lang. Wu Lang can even pay the family's food tax."

Collect it, this small luxury tax, Wulang can settle it with a wave of his hand!"

"Erlang, it's been more than six months since Wulang's wedding!" Queen Changsun said suddenly.

Li Er nodded. He had been married for many years and he knew what Empress Changsun wanted to say.

"Actually, there's no need to worry. Wulang said that the princesses are still young and it may not be a good thing to have children now. If there is no news next year, let's talk!"

Queen Changsun nodded, then shook her head: "This eldest son is a huge trouble!"

eldest son!

Li Er also felt that there was some trouble. Among the seven legitimate daughters of the Seventh Family, the difference between who had the child first and who gave birth to the eldest son was really not small. After thinking about it, the more Li Er thought about it, the more he thought that this might be a super*

* Annoying, the more I think about it, the more troublesome I feel, and the more I think about it, the worse I feel.

After thinking about it, Li Er smiled: "Trouble, what's the trouble? Let Wulang do the trouble himself!"

Empress Changsun placed the bowl filled with rice in front of Li Er.

As the night progressed, after many people went to sleep, a group of carriages from Yaozhou City, escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers, left the city, pulling a huge iron box, and quickly headed towards Chang'an City.

The leader of the team was not the guards of Yaozhou City, but Bai Erwa who had originally escorted Princess Qin to Yaozhou. On the carriage was Princess Qin Li Changying. Li Changying, who was dressed in riding gear, had a tired face but was excited.

Tired. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
