After some simple preparations, Li Er took a group of civil and military officials and rode towards Lantian County.
People in the Tang Dynasty were adept in martial arts, especially in the early Tang Dynasty. At this time, it was not only the generals who rode horses. Among the civil servants, there were very few people who could not ride horses. As the emperor, Li Er usually chose not to ride on dragons but to ride horses. Riding a horse is much more convenient than riding a dragon!
"Xiaoxuan, tell the truth to the old man, did you anticipate the locust plague this year when you bought chicken seedlings in Chang'an City last year?"
On the road, Cheng Yaojin deliberately draped behind and walked side by side with Li Zexuan. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice.
Li Zexuan understood that when he proposed to use the Tianji brigade composed of 150,000 chickens to eradicate locusts, many ministers in the DPRK began to doubt his true purpose for buying chicken fry on a large scale. Seeing Cheng Yaojin asked him personally, he I no longer conceal it now, and whispered:
"Uncle Cheng, it is true that my master had measured two hexagrams for my Datang Kingdom movement during his lifetime. One hexagram accurately predicted the changes in the Xuanwu Gate, and the other hexagram predicted that the Guanzhong area would explode in June of the second year of Zhenguan. The locust plague, when my nephew went down the mountain last year, the change of the Xuanwu Gate had already confirmed Master's first prophecy. Therefore, my nephew did not dare to be dismissive of Master's second prophecy.
In the beginning, my nephew was just a civilian. I only wanted to make my bankers escape the locust plague, so my nephew purchased a large number of chicken fry for the bankers, but because of this, he was impeached by Yuan Shaoqing and entered his majesty’s Vision! Later, as the little nephew was lucky enough to make a lot of credit, the official became bigger and bigger, and more and more bankers under his hand.
Later, Uncle Qin realized that it was wrong and asked his nephew why he had to buy so many chicken fry. The little nephew had no choice but to tell the truth. Uncle Qin was a confession to himself, and his nephew woke up like a dream before realizing how courage he was. Seriously, when the locust plague comes, even if the nephew is fully prepared, it will probably be difficult for one person to contend!
Therefore, in the end Uncle Qin found your Majesty and revealed my master’s locust plague predictions. His Majesty was horrified and asked his nephew to enter the palace. But that day happened when Yu Xi was kidnapped by the bandits, and his nephew resisted the decree and went to save people. His Majesty asked my nephew to come up with a strategy for locust control and presented it to him. After seeing the three strategies for locust control proposed by my nephew, his majesty found Fang Xiang, Du Xiang and Zhao Guogong. After discussing it, he decided to implement a new policy and sent a fleet to the south. To exchange food, while implementing a policy of reducing taxes for raising chickens in Guanzhong area!
The prediction of the locust plague is very important. Once it is leaked, it will definitely cause a huge panic among the people. Therefore, my nephew did not tell Uncle Cheng about it. Please forgive him! "
Following Li Zexuan’s narration, Cheng Yaojin finally understood the cause and effect. He thought that he had been kept in the dark for the past year, and if he hadn’t had a bright mind, the housekeeper would also buy 30,000 chicken fry with Li Zexuan. , It is estimated that his family’s Zhuangzi will also be suffering from locust plagues at this moment. Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin's face went dark and said:
"Hey! Excuse me! Excuse me! The old man used to treat you like a parent-child nephew, but you didn't even hide this thing from the old man. The old man will not forgive you easily! Unless..."
"Shit~! Crazy Cheng, you don't want to be cheap and behave!"
At this moment, Yuchi Jingde’s voice came from next to him:
Last year, in the entire Chang'an City, except for Xiaoxuan, you bought the most Cheng Zhijie. You just murmured with your little girl, it should be Tell him to return to Cheng's Zhuangzi, use chickens to kill locusts, right?"
Cheng Yaojin turned his head to look at Yuchi Jingde, and said with anger: "Hey! I didn't see it, you are dark, but your eyes are very bright? The old man said a few words to the slave, but he was all caught Look at it!"
When cursing people without revealing the short, Cheng Yaojin's words made Yuchi Jingde almost violent:
"Crazy Cheng, do you want to fight again?"
"Hit it! Who is afraid of who? We will fight once when we return from Lantian County in a while!"
"Good! Whoever runs this time is the grandson!"
"Okay! You run, you are a grandson!"
Seeing these two old boys start the bickering mode, Li Zexuan quietly kicked Dabai's belly and chased after Qin Qiong in front of him. It seemed that Qin Qiong wanted to be old and steady!
He had thought that Cheng Yaojin would be angry with him, but when he heard the word "unless", he knew that Old Cheng was definitely not really angry, but wanted to use this matter to ask for some advantages!
"Yonganhou! Your Majesty wants you to go with you!"
As soon as he hit the horse and walked to Qin Qiong's side, before he could speak, a forbidden army trot over on horseback and hugged Li Zexuan.
"Let me drive with me?"
Li Zexuan was stunned, thinking that when did he have such a business, but this is not the time to entangle this, he quickly recovered, and nodded: "Okay! I will go now!"
After that, he talked to Qin Qiong and ran towards the front of the team.
"Heh! Your kid is here?"
Li Er was in front of the hundreds of officials. Except for the guards of the imperial army, he was not accompanied by ministers. When Li Zexuan came over, he attracted the envy of many ministers. Li Er said at this time.
"Uh... Your Majesty is looking for ministers?"
Hearing Li Er calling himself "you kid" instead of Yongan Hou, Li Zexuan's heart was stunned, and he secretly guessed that Li Er must have nothing to say next.
Sure enough, with a meaningful smile at the corner of Li Er's mouth, he said: "I heard that you really need locusts, so I thought about the locusts purchased by the court from all over the world and reselling them at twice the price?"
When Li Zexuan heard the words, his old face turned black and he almost vomited blood. What does it mean? Does Lao Li want to be an Erdao dealer?
In the courtroom, Lao Li claimed that he would pay for the locusts of the world out of his own pocket, and he was moved by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. But before Li Er changed hands, he wanted to sell the locusts he had collected to himself. Li Zexuan thought it was true. Thousands of alpacas rush past...
But having said that, the locusts that Li Er collected can only be handed over to Li Zexuan, because Lao Li's people can't do Feihuang Tengda, let alone Sun Simiao, who can fully use locusts in medicine!
"Why? Your kid feels that you have suffered? I heard that you bought locusts from the dealers last fall. The price at that time was three cents per catty! I sold you a penny per catty, so you won't suffer a loss, right?"
Li Er glanced at Li Zexuan lightly, with a strange light shining in his eyes, and said.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes secretly, asking whether the situation this year was the same as last year? There are locusts everywhere now, and they certainly cannot be purchased at last year's price!
But thinking that Li Er had been taking good care of himself, Li Zexuan just wanted to refuse, so he swallowed back the refusal, and he said:
"Don't suffer! Don't suffer! The minister is willing to buy the locusts obtained by the court at twice the price!"
The price of a penny and a catty is not expensive. You can collect 8 million catties for ten thousand jin, so why not let Lao Li take advantage of it. When that happens, I will process it at will, and a plate of fried grasshoppers can be sold consistently. Money, or blood!
Li Zexuan thought so in his heart.
"Yeah! Okay! Alright, go down!"
Li Er took a deep look at Li Zexuan, Long Yan Dayue said.
Li Zexuan was speechless, could this be regarded as being kicked away after being used?
"Here~!"
After arching his hands, Li Zechuan hit the horse and returned to the back of the team.
Seeing Li Zexuan's unhappy expression, Qin Qiong couldn't help asking: "Xiaoxuan, why did your Majesty ask you?"
"What else can I do? Thinking of Fa'er pitting me?"
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and saw Qin Qiong's face in doubt, he immediately said what had just happened.
Qin Qiong stroked his beard, then looked at Li Zexuan, and said, "You, you! Your majesty's move is to protect you. Don't be resentful and betray your majesty's kindness!"
"Protect me? Uncle Qin, why is this protecting me?"
Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help being surprised.
Qin Qiong pointed to Li Zexuan with a bit of hatred for iron and steel, then lowered his voice, and said: "Xiaoxuan, think about it for yourself, this time the acquisition of locusts in the world, if your majesty does not personally pay the money, but let you come to pay, the world Wanmin is grateful to you, your prestige will surely rise, and you will become the people's heart.
But as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. At a young age, with such a reputation, it is inevitable that you will not be attacked by villains! If someone with a heart uses this to divorce the relationship between you and your majesty, your honor today, I am afraid it will disappear in no time!
Your Majesty will sell the locusts you bought to you at twice the price. One is that the court cannot handle such a huge amount of locusts. The second is to completely remove you from this matter. This is to protect you! "
Qin Qiong’s words shocked Li Zexuan's heart. Indeed, Li Er alone is the only one capable of doing this kind of buying people’s hearts in the world. Looking back at the court, he came up with 20,000 yuan to help Li Er buy the locusts. This was really a stupid decision. Fortunately, Li Er was in the court and rejected him. Otherwise, after the incident was spread, all the people in the world would be really grateful to him, and he would be really dangerous if he had gained so much support from the people!
After Li Zexuan traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he only wanted to live a good life with his family, and he only wanted to live a good life with the people around him. He never wanted to buy people's support, and he didn't want to raise the flag to rebel!
"Thank you Uncle Qin for reminding! You are always waking up the person in your dream! Only then did my nephew understand your majesty's good intentions, this matter is indeed my nephew's lack of consideration!"
Li Zexuan solemnly arched his hand towards Qin Qiong, and couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Qiong nodded and said, "Xiao Xuan, you must be cautious when you are in the court. You can be regarded as a big business now. Every step you take is related to the rise and fall of many people. You have to be cautious. !"
Li Zexuan was silent, and after a moment, he handed his hands over and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qin!"
It is said that there is an elder in the family, and if there is a treasure, the same is true in the court. A reliable elder like Qin Qiong is here to help and remind Li Zexuan to avoid many detours and wrong paths!

"Han Qiye, how about Uncle Hu and others?"
Half an hour later, the group of people finally came to Hanjiazhuang in Lantian County. Seeing that there were only a few old people in the village, and all young and strong women and children were absent, Li Zexuan hurried into the village and asked an old man.
"Master, Hu Lizheng is taking the villagers to Wangjiazhuang to kill locusts!"
When Han Qiye saw Li Zexuan, he quickly replied with his waist.
"Go to Wangjiazhuang? Have the locusts in the fields of Hanjiazhuang and Meicun been cleaned up?"
Li Zexuan asked again.
Han Qiye suddenly opened his eyes and smiled and said, "It's cleaned up! It's cleaned up! Master, our Zhuangzi is the first Zhuangzi who has cleaned up locusts in Lantian County. Now we can only see a few locusts in the field!"
Li Zexuan immediately let go of his heart. He Qiye Han said, "That's OK, you are busy with Qiye Han, I will go first." Then he hit the horse and went to the village head, dismounted and said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, from Han Jiazhuang. The Tianji brigade has gone to other villages, the fields in Zhuangzi, and now there are basically no locusts!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they could not help whispering.
Li Er couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay! Okay! All the Aiqings will go with me to the fields to see! Look at the first Zhuangzi in the entire Datang to eliminate locusts!"
"The ministers will follow the order!"
Everyone can't ask for it.
Under the leadership of Li Zexuan, everyone came to the farmland to the south of Hanjiazhuang. It was now mid-June. Some of the wheat in the field was already yellow. The heavy wheat stalks could not stand up. Li Er took the Baiguan Lined up on the ridge and went to inspect the field for locusts.
"Here! There are really no locusts!"
"It's not that there are no locusts, but there are very few!"
"Yes! Compared to the farmland we saw on the way, the locusts in the fields of Hantianzhuang are completely negligible. The Tianji brigade in Yonganhou can really eliminate the locusts on thousands of acres of fields in a short time. what!"
After the civil and military officials carefully inspected the farmland, they couldn't help exclaiming one by one.
Qiu Xinggong's expression was a bit ugly. He had come here to watch Li Zexuan's jokes, but he didn't expect to see Li Zexuan's infinite spring breeze proud!
"Good! Good! Good! The chicken brigade is well established this day!"
Li Er looked at the brighter his eyes~EbookFREE.me~ finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Your Majesty, facts have proved that Yonganhou's plan to eliminate locusts is completely feasible. The locust plague that has made all emperors helpless in the Central Plains is expected to be eliminated quickly under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. This is the blessing of common people!
Fang Xuanling walked over with a smile of joy and congratulated Li Ergong.
Li Er smiled and was about to talk. At this moment, a locust flew on his shoulder in the field. Li Er quickly grabbed it with his eyes, and looked at the locust struggling desperately between his fingers. Li Er's eyes gradually changed. Becoming a bit bitter, he looked at the locust in his hand, and said: "People live by the grain, and if you eat it, it is harmful to the people. The people have had it, and they are giving to one person, and they have spirits, but when they eat my heart, It is harmless to the people, otherwise I would rather eat my lungs!"
After all, everyone was too late to react, Li Er directly stuffed the locust in his hand into his mouth, chewed hard with his brows, and then swallowed directly!
"Your Majesty! No!"
"Your Majesty! No! Be careful of the dragon body getting sick!"
The group of officials reacted and discouraged them, but at this time the locust had already entered Li Er's belly!
"Your Majesty’s heart is for the people, and he is truly a holy monarch through the ages, and the old minister and grandson Wuji, willing to share the joys and sorrows with your Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji looked sad and hurried down to the ground. After searching for a while, he finally found a locust, then closed his eyes and stuffed the locust into his mouth.
"Old minister Fang Xuanling is willing to share the joys and sorrows with your Majesty!"
"Old minister Du Ruhui is willing to share the joys and sorrows with your Majesty!"
The ministers went down to the field to search for locusts in order to show their loyalty. Li Zexuan's heart suddenly felt bitter. Although this scene is a famous scene in history books, he is not willing to encounter it at all! Does he eat this locust now? Still eat it?
