Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, who knew that the locust plague was really coming.
Why is his good brother so capable? Li Er couldn't help but feel shocked again.
When I thought about this, regarding the locust plague, Xiandi didn't even say a solution.
Presumably he has no solution, right?
Thinking of this incident, Li Er's face couldn't help but look dull again.
"His Majesty."
"Okay, auxiliary machine, I don't blame you for this.
I should have thought long ago that what my wise brother said was because I was taking chances.
There was no preparation in advance.”
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
"Alright, immediately arrange for manpower to make preparations for this matter. Don't let this locust plague get worse."
"This is Your Majesty, I will take your orders."
After Changsun Wuji left, Li Er sat aside.
At this moment, I really don't know what to do.
I was thinking about going to Zhaojiazhuang again, but at this moment I was not in the mood to go there.
Two days later, another news came that the yellow disaster broke out not only in Henan Province.
Concentrated outbreaks began to occur in various areas throughout the Central Plains, and for a while the people were filled with mourning.
Some people knelt directly on the ground, hoping that God would take back their gods.
With the natural disaster, rumors began to spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Some people say that this locust plague occurred because the Holy Emperor wanted to punish the Tang Dynasty.
There was a severe drought in summer before, and now there is a locust plague in autumn.
These are all punishments for me, Datang.
And the news spread through noses and eyes.
He said that what Datang did was too much.
It is said that after the Tang Dynasty invaded the Turks, it was like cutting down a watermelon with a knife raised and lowered, and it was said that the group of Turks were killed without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
Not only that, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not only killed all those enemies.
Even the old, weak, women and children living in their tribe were all killed like watermelons.
This person is always like this. Unless the whip hits him, he will never know the pain.
They have forgotten how the Turks treated the Central Plains people when they went south to plunder.
What they did was even more vicious than what Tang Jun did.
It's just that everyone is selectively blind and has forgotten all of this.
Just looking at what Datang did, it was so cruel.
For a time, some people actually felt that our country, the Tang Dynasty, should not go on war.
It's because of this that even God can't stand it anymore.
That's all besides these.
There is another piece of news that has been widely circulated by everyone, that is, the current holy emperor is not in a right position, so he continues to bring disasters to the Tang Dynasty.
These two pieces of news reached Li Er's ears. When Li Er heard the words, he was furious.
At this moment, I was shot again even as I lay down.
If you do a good job, it's fine if the people don't appreciate it.
There was a locust plague in the middle, and everything was blamed on yourself?
At this moment, I was a scholar who couldn't bear it, so I angrily scolded these unruly people.
Seeing His Majesty's anger, the ministers below quickly saluted and consoled him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. People are just people after all.
He must have been deceived by someone with good intentions.
The top priority is that we should provide relief to the people and deal with this locust plague, instead of being angry with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty.
There is no need for Your Majesty to get angry with these people."
People are just people after all. What can they understand?
They would be grateful if he was good to him, but if something happened, they would all be angry.
Just like the previous drought, isn't it the same?
Li Er waved his hand, these things are really boring to listen to.
Scolding for scolding, anger for anger, saying 1,000 means 10,000, this group of people are also their own people.
He also needs to arrange manpower to rescue them.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The ministers below tried to dissuade His Majesty again, fearing that His Majesty would have a bad temper and punish them severely.
Li Er waved his hand again.
If the common people knew everything, they would no longer be common people.
Although I was angry about this matter, I would not punish these people severely.
Then we will arrange manpower for disaster relief, hoping that this locust plague can be solved.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After arranging all of them, Li Er thought for a moment and thought to himself.
Do you want to go to Xiandi's village and talk to Xiandi about this matter?
See if he can make some suggestions and help me?
But with this thought in my mind, I sighed helplessly.
It is estimated that Brother Xian may not be able to solve this matter this time.
Thinking about what they said before, could it be possible that I would also arrange manpower to let the people eat it?
The only person in the world who can eat that food is Zhaojiazhuang, and only his brother has this ability.
In addition, the chickens are arranged to eat locusts.
But the world is so big, how can there be so many chickens?
In other words, all things cannot be solved by external forces and can only be solved by one's own ability.
My wise brother has told me before that there will be a locust plague this year.
As an emperor himself, he already knew in advance that this matter still could not be resolved. It was all his own fault. He did not blame anyone for this matter.
Thinking about this, I cursed again in my heart.
This abominable locust plague is so unreasonable, so unreasonable.
"Master, I heard from other counties that there was really a locust plague in their villages.
This locust plague is coming fiercely, Master, you are really right.
Fortunately, the young master is wise and has prepared us well in advance.
Otherwise, we will suffer heavy losses in food this year."
After hearing about these things happening in other villages, I made some comparisons when I saw my own Zhuangzi.
Which one is good and which one is bad is clear at a glance.
"Regarding this locust plague, we will handle it according to the previous procedures, and other matters will be fine."
"It's young master, I'll go and make arrangements right away."
After the butler finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"Master, what are we going to do next?
Master, do you want to go shopping in Chang'an City?"
"Going to visit Chang'an?
Why do you want to visit Chang'an City?"
Linglong nodded. She had been in Zhuangzi recently and wanted to go out for a walk.
But if you want to go out for a walk, you must have the young master’s personal nod.
Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to wander around blindly.
Zhao Mu laughed loudly after hearing what Linglong said.
"Hahahaha, shopping is really your favorite.
If you want to go there then, let Yue'er accompany you there.
How about I arrange a few guards to accompany you to protect you?"
Linglong nodded!
"Thank you, Master."
There was a smile on everyone's face.
"If you want to go, just tell me next time and I will arrange a few people and you can go on your own."
"Master, that's not okay, I can't run around.
I have to report something to you, Master."
Hahahaha, this silly girl.
…
Chang'an City.
Nowadays, there are endless discussions on this matter inside and outside Chang'an City.
The court only sent people to provide disaster relief and did not restrict the people's free discussion on this matter.
A few people sat together in a wine shop or inn, drinking wine and chatting.
Talking about the recent major events in and around Chang'an City.
It seems that none of these major events would be possible without the participation of people like them.
In the recent world events, apart from the Turkic expedition to the north, the biggest issue at the moment is the locust plague.
It is said that locust plagues have spread in many areas and are overwhelming.
Wherever the locusts went, there was no grass growing, and the people could only kneel on the ground and pray to God.
However, no matter how much they prayed, in the end, the locust plague only got worse.
In the end, it is we, the common people, who are harmed in the end.
A few people talked to each other, and from time to time, a few people came over and joined them to chat together.
"It is said that an old immortal came to a village outside Chang'an.
This old god has powerful magic and can drive away locust plagues directly.
After arriving at that village, he waved his hand to the left and waved his hand to the right, and the locust plague miraculously disappeared."
"Is there such a god?
Isn’t this too awesome?”
"Who says it's not the case? There are many capable people in our Tang Dynasty.
It is said that Yuan Tiangang, our imperial advisor in the Tang Dynasty, was extremely talented. He knew both astronomy and geography.
It is said that Imperial Master Yuan Tiangang personally guessed the drought this year."
"Ah, then you say, since the court has already figured it out in advance.
Why is there no way for the people of this world to prepare in advance?"
"No, no, but things are different.
Regarding this drought, we can ask the people to dig wells and provide disaster relief.
But this is a locust plague, how can we prevent this locust plague?"
Even if you know, is it possible to ask the people to cover all the crops?
Hahahaha, everyone laughed when I said this.
During drought, deep wells can be dug and various things can be done.
But this locust plague came from the sky, and the people had no way to deal with it.
After all, it is these people who are hurt the most in the end.
Yes, yes.
Common people can best produce common emotions.
Unlike other wealthy merchants and nobles, even natural disasters and man-made disasters will not affect them as long as they are not affected.
Everyone ignored it.
"Why don't you go see it quickly? Why are you still sitting here?"
"Come on, why are you still sitting here?"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"The old god is here, the old god is here in Chang'an."
What old god is here?
Hearing what the waiters around him said, the people standing nearby shouted loudly.
What old god is here?
"What kind of old gods are you talking about and you just forgot about it?
Of course it's the old god you just mentioned, the one who can smoke and smoke.
The one who dealt with all the locust plagues with just a wave of his hand."
"Ah, this is such good luck. Just after the big guy finished speaking, this person came?"
After hearing what other people said, everyone wanted to go over and join in the fun.
With that said, people left the inn one after another, wanting to see how the old god turned the clouds around.
Bustling, bustling.
As they rushed there, there were more and more people.
As the number of people increases, so does the number.
Even officials from the Chang'an City government rushed over to find out.
"Everyone, major events in the world have happened very frequently recently."
"That's that."
The children of the seven major families gathered together to discuss this important matter in the world.
To say that the biggest thing happening now is the locust plague.
This locust plague, so far, has been so fierce that it has greatly affected the people inside and outside Chang'an City.
Everyone laughed when talking about these things.
Thinking of how embarrassed the old emperor was, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Just now I heard someone below say that a god has come to Chang'an City. This god can swallow clouds and spit out mist, and can also get rid of locust plagues.
The people gathered around and wanted to take a closer look, but they didn't know whether this thing was true or not.
"I have also sent people there.
Hey, what kind of old god can have such ability?
If he had such ability, the court would have invited him in long ago.
Drive away all the locust plagues in the world, so that the world will not remain like this.
The so-called old gods are just pretentious and deceitful."
For them, this kind of thing has been firmly grasped for a long time.
This is enough to deceive the people of Chang'an City. It is absolutely impossible to deceive these people.
Sending people to check it out was just to join in the fun and add some fun to them.
Speaking of these things, everyone couldn't help laughing again.
If this matter spreads and all the people find out so violently, he is a liar.
Until then, it will be interesting for this matter to develop.
Everyone was full of excitement, and it felt like the locust plague had come just in time.
This matter will definitely take a huge blow to the reputation of the court.
For them, there is no distinction between the world and the world, only their own personal interests.
So for this matter, the bigger the fuss, the better, hahahaha.
"His Majesty."
"Auxiliary machine, how is this matter handled?"
"Your Majesty, I have already arranged for people to go and deal with it. I think it won't take long before all the matters will be taken care of.
It’s okay, Your Majesty, don’t worry.”
Speaking of these things, Li Er frowned.
It can only be described as distressing, but there is no other way, so I can only use my best method to help the victims.
There must have been losses for the people this time.
"By the way, Your Majesty, when I came to the palace just now, I heard the people of Chang'an say that an old immortal came to Chang'an City today.
This man has great abilities and is said to be able to get rid of the locust plague.
The people have already gone to watch the excitement, and they don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Of course, Changsun Wuji would definitely not believe this matter.
Even Mr. Zhao has no way to solve this disaster.
A so-called old god, what can he do? Isn't that just nonsense?
So this time there is a high probability that he is a liar.
After hearing Changsun Wuji finish speaking, Li Er snorted coldly.
This is really unreasonable.
Nowadays, there is a locust plague in the world, and the people are panic-stricken. However, there is a man who claims to be an old god and wants to come and cause trouble.
"Okay, auxiliary machine, since he is a so-called old god, you go and take a look.
I want to see how capable that person is."
If he really had that ability, he could really arrange for him to be sent to the palace and ask him to handle the matter.
If someone dares to deceive the people, he will be caught directly and thrown into the prison.
If he still dared to confuse the people under such circumstances, Li Er said that it was purely for himself and for the court.
At the end of the day, charlatans have come to deceive the people. What if word spreads and I am called to court?
As soon as my bad temper comes up, everyone who causes trouble with me needs to be dealt with.
Changsun Wuji quickly saluted, got up and left after receiving the order, and went to handle the matter personally.
After all, it is not easy to be too public about this kind of thing, so I got on the carriage, went there by myself, and chose a suitable place.
After arranging a few people, he sat in the carriage and gently opened the curtain, so that he could see what was happening on the stage.
