Chapter 377 The solution, the clan wants to do something
Zhao Mu glanced at him.
"Why, I'll tell you this method, and then you go to Chang'an City, go to the palace, and tell Li Er all these things, right?"
hiss.
What this good brother is saying now is getting more and more vicious.
There is no need for me to give various explanations at all. He holds them tightly and asks you, what else do you want to say next?
"Brother Xian, I can't hide anything from you.
well!
Have pity on me, a common people in the world, since my dear brother has this ability, let us help if we can.
Dear brother, how about you help me, just for the sake of our relationship?"
"That's all, the year of locust plague only hurts ordinary people after all. I'm telling you this method, you have to remember it.
This locust plague is a disaster, but it is also a gift of wealth.
It's just that the fields of your Zhuangzi are different from the fields of the whole world, so the methods are also different.
Eating comes first.
We can call on the people to eat them and tell everyone how to eat locusts.
You can eat all these locusts if you let everyone eat them.
Secondly, it is to seek the starting point of locusts, that is, to seek the root point of locusts.
This year there was a drought, and later on there was some rain, which led to the emergence of some swamps and ponds.
These places are prone to breeding locusts.
By finding these places, you can bury them all with soil.
Let's wipe them out completely at the root.
Otherwise, the locusts will die in batches before winter comes.
Of course, if the people come to catch the insects and eat them, they will definitely not be able to finish them all.
But big guys can sell it.
But according to the current medical science, no one can know how useful this thing is.
There are no pharmacies that would choose to collect these things, so after all, some people have to bear these things."
"Ah, dear brother, how do you say this?"
"Of course, Li Er has to personally intervene in this matter.
It also depends on whether he will be cruel or not. This matter has nothing to do with you.
You have to know that the world is huge and there are many people, but there are also many wealthy businessmen.
I heard that the imperial examination system was held in Chang'an City, except for the children of those clan members.
Only children from common people's families can participate, but children from wealthy businessmen's families are not allowed to participate, right?"
Li Er nodded.
The Tang Dynasty still implemented a policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.
If the children of wealthy merchant families were allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
These people have money and can arrange for good teachers to study.
If they become officials, there will definitely be a situation of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Li Er didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.
"Yes, what we need this time are those wealthy businessmen.
You can let those wealthy businessmen buy large quantities of locusts from the hands of the people, and the court will personally give them various policies.
For example, reward a merchant who has collected the most with an outstanding title.
Among these outstanding people who have won the title, they can choose a descendant from their family to participate in next year's imperial examination.
In this way, for the sake of profit, do you think that group of businessmen will start spending a lot of money to buy these locusts in order to get that title and the quota for their children to participate in the imperial examination next year?
I'm just giving you a general direction on how to supervise the operations in between.
I don’t need to explain the other practices in detail, right?
If this little thing can't be solved, I think we can just find a piece of tofu and hit it against the wall.
After hearing this, Li Er's eyes widened.
This this?
As the saying goes, when the clouds open, you can see the bright moon.
It was originally a very complicated matter, but when his wise brother said this, Li Er felt that everything was completely clear.
Sometimes it's like this, things can be easily solved, but what's missing is an idea.
Now that this idea has been opened up, everything has become particularly simple.
Li Er shouted repeatedly.
Dear brother, you are really a talented person. I, Lao Li, admire you.
Such a complicated problem can be completely solved in just a few sentences.
It’s really amazing.”
As he spoke, Li Er's inner temper suddenly rose up, and he cursed everyone angrily.
All the civil and military officials in this court are trash.
Let me ask you, no one can solve such a simple thing for yourself?
Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to His Majesty, could see that His Majesty's temper was rising.
He just looked embarrassed.
Well, who says it’s not?
These people are indeed not as capable as Mr. Zhao.
Instead of talking about this and that, it would be better to directly admit the joy of it.
"Brother, we must have a few drinks tonight."
That night, Li Er couldn't persuade anyone to stop him. He drank several glasses of wine, and in the end he drank Lingding and became extremely drunk.
Fortunately, my wine was quite good. Even though I was drunk, I just asked someone to help me to the bed and fell asleep soundly.
I slept until noon on the second day.
He shook his head, opened his eyes again, and took a look at the big sun outside, which was already basking his buttocks.
Li Er hurriedly put on his clothes, had lunch at Zhuangzi, got on the carriage, and hurried towards Chang'an City!
Coming back late, coming back late, will really delay things.
I said housekeeper, why didn’t you call me earlier?
Changsun Wuji felt bitter in his heart.
In the morning, I went to the house by myself and called the shopkeeper several times.
Several times the shopkeeper had woken up, but he just glanced at himself and waved his hand, telling him to go out first while he wanted to sleep for a while.
Who knew that after just a short nap, I would sleep until noon?
Hearing this, forget it, forget it, Li Er waved his hand, too lazy to argue with him about this matter.
He hurried to Chang'an City and arranged the news.
The autumn harvest will be here in one month. Using these methods during this month will definitely minimize the losses for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, look at the clan members on the other side.
After talking about the matter yesterday, no one was in a hurry.
I am not afraid that this matter will get bigger and bigger, but I am afraid that this matter will suddenly turn around.
As the autumn harvest approached, a locust plague broke out, and in the end there was no way to control it.
Let me ask you, if nothing can be done by then, how should we deal with this matter?
In the end, you have to obediently write the edict of sin against yourself?
Why do they always hope that the emperor can write an edict to punish himself?
As long as he writes the edict about sin, it means that he, as the emperor, has also admitted that the things he did back then were wrong.
It is not as serious a blow as admitting your mistake yourself if others say it all.
Thinking of these things, everyone smiled, and it seems so good now.
In addition, during the early morning court today, the emperor ran away to no one knows where and did not go to court.
All of a sudden, all the ministers began to talk about it.
This time, they are not the only ones talking about this matter.
