"Master Hou (Young Master), despite the orders, I will wait and follow it strictly!"
In the meeting room of Yanhuang Academy, when Li Zexuan said, "This is a major event related to the life and death of more than 80,000 people in Lantian County," the magistrate He, Hu Hanyun, Liu Erye, and Liu Qingfeng could not help but straighten up, looking seriously. Said to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan nodded and began to make arrangements: "He County Order, after returning to the county office in a while, you will immediately send the office servants to post Anmin notices everywhere, not only in the city, but all Zhuangzi outside the city! The content of the notice is written down. Mr. and Mr. Kong Gui are helping you draft it. You can take it to the workshop and rub a few hundred copies and bring it home!"
The county magistrate He hurriedly said, "The official will follow the order!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and then said: "In addition, the Department of Commerce has ordered the Department of Commerce to inform the grain merchants in Lantian County that during the recent period, it is strictly forbidden to drive up grain prices. Offenders will be recorded in the Department of Commerce's blacklist and rushed. If you leave Lantian County, you will never come to Lantian County to do business again!"
The county magistrate He hesitated and said, "Master Hou, will this anger the grain merchants so that the grain merchants in the city will collectively move out of Lantian County?"
Li Zexuan sneered and said, "Since Ben Hou dared to say this, I am not afraid that they will withdraw from Lantian County! In the granary at the foot of Yunshan, 50,000 shi of grain was hidden last year. There were more than 80,000 people in Lantian County. Everyone can get nearly 70 catties. How can you save some food for three or four months? When the autumn harvest arrives, are you still worried about not having food? Besides, did the Guancang in Lantian County not store food last year? "
He county magistrate heard that Li Zexuan said that Yunshan still had 50,000 shi of grain stored there, and he was relieved. But after hearing Li Zexuan’s question behind, He’s heart sank suddenly and he wiped the forehead. Khan said carefully:
"Well, Lord Hou, the official warehouse in Lantian County can only hold seven or eight thousand shi of grain. The harvest last year was not good. The people handed in not much grain, so the official warehouse was not full. I bought about four thousand stones of grain!"
Li Zexuan couldn’t help being a little angry when he heard the words:
Last year the court went south to exchange grain, and the sea merchants brought back so much grain, which almost caused the grain price in the capital to drop to the bottom. The Lantian county government did not spend any money to purchase grain. ?"
He Xianling was ashamed and embarrassed, he said ashamed: "This...no! The Guanzhong area relies on the Yellow River to nourish, the water and soil are fertile, and it rarely encounters disaster years. Besides, even in disaster years, there is Taicang in Chang'an City. There is even a Hanjiacang in Luoyang, and there is no need to worry about food. Therefore, there is no precedent for purchasing and storing food in every state and county!"
"You~!"
Li Zexuan was really outraged, but in the final analysis, he can't blame the county magistrate. Who told the court to return from the southward fleet last year, was Li Zexuan not the lord of Lantian County? Otherwise, every granary in Lantian County would definitely be packed full under Li Zexuan's orders!
"That's it! Let's not mention this for the time being! But I hope you will remember that you need to be hard when you strike iron. Don't expect others to save you when you encounter problems. You have to save yourself! Datang has a vast territory, and there are three hundred states and counties. Many, like today’s great locust plague, there are at least dozens of prefectures and counties that the court wants relief. If we blindly wait for the court’s relief, how many more people will starve to death?"
Li Zexuan sighed, then said sternly.
The county magistrate He repeated his hands and said: "What Hou Ye taught! The next official must remember Hou Ye's teachings!"
Seeing this, Li Zexuan did not continue to reprimand him. After all, as a county magistrate, he still wanted face, he turned and said: "The Department of Commerce must be determined to curb the rise in food prices, except for Yunshan. In addition to the grain, Benhou can also mobilize the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce to transport grain to the south! So you don’t have to worry about grain!"
Madam He was relieved and nodded: "Yes! Lord Hou!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while, then looked at Li Gang and Yan Silu, and said: "Mr. Wenji, Mr. Kong Gui, in the notice posted, you must add such a note. Starting today, the Lantian County Government The people buy locusts for a penny and two catties, unlimited!"
Li Gang and Yan Silu couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, and the county magistrate He, who was sitting at the head of Li Zexuan, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master Hou! Don't! Send people to this overwhelming locust. If you pick it up, you can pick up ten jin in a day. If all the people in Lantian County go to pick up locusts, wouldn’t they be able to pick up hundreds of thousands of jin in one day?"
Li Zexuan couldn't help saying: "This locust is not dead, so how can you just lie there and let anyone catch it? It's not easy for a person to catch ten catties of locusts a day! Besides, even if they catch so many, the county government must follow suit. Just accept everything, don't worry, this money will be paid by Benhou!"
The county magistrate He was speechless, thinking that you can't waste it so much if you have money!
He didn't know that Li Zexuan would not only not lose money but also make a lot of money when he bought locusts with a penny and two catties!
Regardless of what the county magistrate thought, Li Zexuan went on to say: "In fact, giving food to the people is really the next policy! The people have worked so hard in the fields for half a year, and they are about to be harvested. Ushered in the locust plague, their contributions will be completely wiped out, which is quite unfair to them! Therefore, the top priority is that what we have to do is to rescue the disaster, not to open the storehouse and release the grain!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded!
In fact, even if all the crops in the field are eaten by locusts, there is no need to open warehouses to help the people immediately, because people generally have a certain amount of surplus food in their homes, and the consequences of the locust plague can take ten and a half months. To show up.
"Uncle Hu, last year I asked Hu Jingran and Hu Guoran to teach the children in the village to control the chickens. How did this happen?"
Li Zexuan looked at Hu Hanyun and asked.
Hu Hanyun hurriedly replied: "Master, not only Hanjiazhuang, but also the children from Meicun came to learn! And the two children from Zhuangzi finally passed the assessment and got the bonus set by you, Master!"
"How many chickens are there in the two Zhuangzi now?"
Li Zexuan asked again.
Hu Hanyun thought for a while and replied: "There are about 75,000 chickens in Hanjiazhuang!"
Liu Qingfeng then replied: "There are 74,000 in Meicun!"
These two Zhuangzi became Li Zexuan’s fiefs earlier. At that time, Li Zexuan bought about 80,000 chicken fry for the two Zhuangzi at his own expense. Now it seems that the survival rate is above 80%, which shows that the villagers helped him raise them. The chicken is really attentive!
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That adds up to nearly 150,000! Good! Uncle Hu, Erye Liu, and Liu Lizheng, you immediately go back to Zhuangzi, gather the children, and divide them into 30 teams, each with five teams. Thousands of chickens swept the farmland of more than 80 villages in Lantian County from north to south, and quickly wiped out most of the locusts in all the fields in Lantian County!"
"What? Let the chicken eat the locusts? Master, is this a reliable method?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard, and Lao Hu also said in a bit of surprise.
Li Zexuan explained with a smile: "Of course it's reliable! Benhou once read a book, it said that an adult chicken can eat more than 300 locusts a day at most, and 20 chickens can almost guarantee that there are no Locusts, let’s organize five thousand chickens into a team, and we can clean up all the locusts in two hundred acres of land in almost half an hour! Uncle Hu, you should go back to the village and gather the children to start action. Before dark, say It may be possible to clear tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and within two days, all the locusts in the farmland of Lantian County will be cleared!"
Although I don’t know that Li Zexuan saw these fallacies from that book, because of their blind trust in Li Zexuan, everyone chose to believe it. He nodded frequently, but he couldn't help frowning at this moment:
"Master Hou! Chickens not only eat locusts, but also wheat! This way, the locusts will be eliminated, but the wheat will also be harmed!"
Li Zexuan glanced at him lightly and said: "He County Order, this question, I must be able to answer you Uncle Hu!"
"Uh..."
He Xianling looked stunned and couldn't help but cast his gaze on Hu Hanyun.
Old Hu scratched his head. This question is not easy to answer. If you say too bluntly, it is likely to hurt the self-esteem of He County magistrate. After all, He County magistrate is the parent official of a county. Although Lao Hu will not do the violations. He seeks the care of the county magistrate about Ji's affairs, but it is not easy to justify the crime.
After a long babble, Lao Hu finally organized the language and explained: "My lord county magistrate, although this chicken can also eat wheat, there are too many locusts in the field, and they won't be able to eat wheat anymore!"
In fact, he just wanted to say, "Who wants to be a vegetarian if you have meat", but this is too straightforward!
He county magistrate is not a stupid person, he also reacted in an instant, he handed over to Li Zexuan with a look of shame: "The officials are confused and thoughtless!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay! But as a parent official of the people, if you learn about farming, you must not make a joke of "Why not eat meat"!"
"Yes! Lord Hou!"
He county magistrate repeatedly said yes.
Li Zexuan didn’t want to say much, but instead said:
Last year, the imperial court introduced a policy of reducing taxes on raising chickens. In the entire Guanzhong area, the number of people raising chickens has increased greatly. In addition to the hearts of the people, we must also call on the people to drive all the chickens raised in their homes to the fields to eat the locusts. At the moment of the catastrophe, only with one heart and one mind can we survive the locust plague in the shortest time!"
He county magistrates his hands with a serious face: "The official will follow the order!"
At this time, Li Gang said: "Shan Chang, the Anmin notices posted everywhere have been drafted. Would you like to take a look first!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and Hu Hanyun, who was sitting next to Li Gang, quickly handed the manuscript in Li Gang's hand to Li Zexuan.
After browsing the contents of the manuscript roughly, Li Zexuan said: "Well! The writing is very complete! He County Order, now you have to let someone take the notice to the workshop for rubbing, and after stamping the official seal, it will immediately begin to be in the county. Post!"
He county magistrate took it with both hands, and solemnly said: "Yes! Lord Hou! The official resignation!"
"Master, I'll wait and leave!"
Hu Hanyun, Liu Erye, Liu Qingfeng and others looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"Ok!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said.
Several people clasped their fists and walked out of the conference room together.
Li Zexuan looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Brother Ma, the "Datang Daily" will ask you! After all, this locust plague is not only in Lantian County, but also in at least dozens of states in Guanzhong! Through the "Datang Daily", let the people unite and fight against disasters together!"
Ma Zhou nodded in a deep voice and said: "The leader can rest assured, Ma will return to the editorial department to mobilize all the editors and start to take action. Tomorrow’s "Datang Daily" will definitely have a good plan for locust control by the leader, and tomorrow’s news. , Will definitely dispel most people's fear of the locust god!"
"Well! So the best! Brother Ma, go!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said.
Ma Zhou led the way.
Li Zexuan looked at Sun Simiao at this time and said, "Daochang Sun, you must know the medicinal value of locusts. This time, the Yanhuang Medical Center can use part of the locusts collected by the Lantian County Government. This is cheap and effective. There are not many medicinal materials. Isn't it a pity to miss it?"
Sun Simiao nodded and stroked his beard and said: "Xiaoxuan, you are right, the poor road will let the medical hall draw people out to take over some of the locusts purchased by the county government, and dry them into the warehouse!"
"Well! That's good!"
After that, Li Zexuan looked at Li Gang and Yan Silu again, and said: "Mr. Wenji, Mr. Kong Gui, I said that the purpose of Yanhuang Academy is to build a heart for the world~EbookFREE.me~ for the life and the people. At this critical moment, I announced in the name of Shan Chang that the final exams of the academy have been temporarily postponed, and all students of the academy will be suspended. They will go to villages in Lantian County in groups to eliminate the people’s superstition of the locust and lead the people to resist the locust plague. Catch the locusts!"
Li Gang and Yan Silu are both people with common living and high morals. Hearing these words, they have no objections, and they directly said in unison, "Zhushan Changling!"
"Ouch! My Lord Hou, why are you in Yunshan! We are so easy to find!"
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps and Zhao Song's shouts in the conference room.
Li Zexuan nodded at Li Gang and Yan Silu, and said, "The two gentlemen are going to do it yourself! It seems that this lord is going to the palace!"
The hearts of the two are like mirrors, knowing that Li Er in the palace should be anxious, and they want to summon Li Zexuan into the palace, so they walked away.
Li Zexuan followed out and rushed towards Zhao Song who was oncoming: "Manager Zhao, let's go!"
Zhao Song was taken aback for a while, and said, "Master Hou, do you know that your majesty wants to call you into the palace?"
Li Zexuan said as he walked: "Manager Zhao is in such a hurry, how can Xiaohou not guess? The situation in Chang'an must be urgent, let's talk while walking!"
Zhao Song heard the words and couldn't ask for it, so he hurried to catch up and said: "Okay! Lord Hou, please! A quick horse is ready outside!"
Riding two people, they rushed down Yunshan like lightning and headed towards Chang'an City.
In order to summon Li Zexuan into the palace as soon as possible, Zhao Song didn't bring any of his entourages. After all, he had reached the realm of Grandmaster, and he got up quickly, and the little eunuchs in the palace couldn't keep up!
