The days passed by, and it was the time of Kaichun. Because of the diligence and heavy snowfall in winter, Gu Chunzhu somewhat put aside the problem of abnormal weather, but I thought that before and after planting, Da Zhuang sent a letter.
Gu Chunzhu looked at the complete letter at a glance, and her face was so black that she could drip ink. The result she didn’t want to see really happened. Because Gu Zhuangzhu has repeatedly emphasized that he has funds in his hands, and has been reluctant to implement some drought and flood protection measures, the whole county is doing well.
However, in a county named Pingxiang next to Taiping County, a large number of locusts appeared. Fortunately, the county magistrate was a wise man. He found a solution early in the book and burned all the locusts.
In addition, Da Zhuang also mentioned that the Taiping County Commander had been hindered by a large number of farmers when he was burning locusts, because there are local legends that locusts are the gods of agriculture. Therefore, Zhuang Zhuang is very worried that if there are large-scale locusts in other places, and the county magistrates do nothing or give up because they are obstructed by the people, the uncontrolled locusts will surely develop into locust plagues.
When Su Wangqin came home, he saw such a gloomy Gu Chunzhu. He is less sensitive to the climate than Gu Chunzhu, so he can't think of the worries he discussed a year ago.
He walked to Gu Chunzhu suspiciously, regardless of the three, seventy-one and twenty-one, he was ready to coax Gu Chunzhu happy before talking. But he just put his hand on Gu Chunzhu, and Gu Chunzhu turned his head seriously and said, "Worry has come true. Large-scale locusts appear in Pingxiang next to Taiping, and there is a great possibility of drought this spring."
Su Wangqin knew what it was, and put his arms down in silence, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking. Finally, he looked up with regret and said, "Then I will immediately send someone to notify Xiaocheng, and also investigate the specific situation by the way, so as to persuade the court to solve the problem as soon as possible."
"Then I can go to Jinhan to understand the situation first." Gu Chunzhu immediately added, Su Wangqin nodded.
Then, the three of them started one after another. Xiaocheng was responsible for collecting information from various places, and Su Wangqin went to investigate the situation of the rivers around the capital, and he also asked the old farmers to ask questions.
Su Wangqin was the first to complete the investigation. The river around the capital is indeed less than in previous years, and the experienced farmers have begun to worry about this matter. They all said that if it does not rain next month, there will be absolute drought in the capital and there will be no harvest this year.
Soon after, Jinhan responded. Even though Jinhan was very restrained, he could still read his annoyance and anger from the lines. Because under his control, small-scale locusts also appeared, but the following were concealed. But when he knew it, he immediately found someone to deal with the matter, and he also persuaded the group of people to dig pits to store water.
Finally, Jin Han asked Gu Chunzhu whether he should report and when to report.
Soon, Xiaocheng also received a reply from the following people that there had been large-scale outbreaks of locusts. There were five places in Changping, Tangshan, Wangdu, Leting, and Pingxiang that were collected by the men.
The most important thing is that, except Pingxiang, a county close to Taiping County, controlled locusts, there was no other place that controlled locusts, and none was reported to the emperor. But instead of not reporting, it was not reported to the court, such as Changping. The county magistrate of Changping discovered the situation early, and also tried to deal with unsuccessful results and wrote a letter, but he was detained in the middle.
Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin listened to Xiaocheng's words quietly, and both were silent for a while. Gu Chunzhu thought about it and suddenly sneered, said sarcastically, "The corpse meal is nothing more than that."
"The emperor's body is not as good as the day, and the prince is not sober, and the people below gradually start to be normal regardless of things. I just don't understand, how can I get to this point and think of cheating and concealing the peace, do they Don't know the seriousness of the locust plague?" Xiaocheng continued with a sad face.
"Then let's take the report to the emperor first? Before Jin Han asked me if he would report to the court, I asked him to write an attitude, but I think most of them can't reach the emperor's hand." Gu Chunzhu thought about it, away from her It has been a few days since I wrote back to Jinhan, probably Jinhan’s break has just left his hand.
Xiaocheng nodded, "Then I will speak directly at the DPRK this time, and I will not believe the facts and put them in front of them. They also have to pretend not to see."
Su Wangqin has been silent from the beginning, and he finally said after hearing Xiaocheng’s words, "Xiaocheng, don’t expect too much, don’t be so angry that you’re influencing the things behind, let’s focus on disaster relief. ."
Xiaocheng pursed her lips unwilling to believe Su Wangqin's words, but nodded in the end. Su Wangqin also saw stubbornness and unbelief in Xiaocheng's face. He didn't say much. Some things still required young people to hit the south wall by themselves to know the pain.
In the early morning of the next day, after some routine reports and speeches, the emperor stood close to the eunuch, and the sharp voice echoed on the spacious hall, "If something happens, nothing will go back!"
Xiaocheng was trembling and took a step to the side, holding his hand in his hands, bowing respectfully, "The grandson has something to do."
After a winter of cultivation, the emperor looked slightly better, and his face was slightly rosy. He lifted a bit heavy eyelids and looked towards Xiaocheng, struggling to take out his full voice and said, "Bring the music up."
Xiaocheng gave the the first two steps, and then backed down with his head down and continued to state in a calm tone, "Grandchildren went to the outskirts of the city a few days ago and found that the nearby farmers were looking at the farmland with sadness and dismalness. They were curious. The grandchildren went to inquire, and they told the grandchildren that there were occasional locusts nearby and they almost ate up the seedlings."
"Grandchildren went through hundreds of books in order to help them find a solution, and found some problems while finding a way. According to historical records, locusts will basically spread into disasters as soon as they appear, and it heralds the coming of a drought. So grandchildren Just let people check it out, and there were really many outbreaks of insect pests at the same time. More details have been written in the grandson, and the grandfather will also be asked to learn."
In fact, Xiaocheng's compromise not only wrote about the problem of locust plagues, but also directed Xie Yun to investigate and deal with locust plagues.
The emperor looked down dumbly after watching the concert, and directly ordered a few ministers to ask questions. "You are all my left and right arms. Let me talk about what you think, how should this matter be resolved?"
A few people went to the salute and looked at each other while bowing and bowing their heads, confirming each other’s thoughts with their eyes, and then the highest official Udawan said with great honour, "This matter is of great importance. It should be investigated clearly before deciding on the next step. ."
Others resembled parrots and followed their tongues like a tongue, "It's reasonable to say that should be the case."
