The first thousand one hundred and eighty chapters flooded with locusts

Days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the season of spring. Because of the heavy and frequent snowfall in winter, Gu Chunzhu has put aside the problem of abnormal weather, but he once thought that just before and after planting, Da Zhuang sent a letter.

Gu Chunzhu looked at the entire letter at a glance, her face was black enough to drip ink, the result she least wanted to see really happened. Because Da Zhuang was repeatedly emphasized by Gu Chunzhu, and he also had funds in his hand, he reluctantly took some measures to ensure the income from drought and flood, so the situation of the entire county was not bad.

However, a large number of locusts appeared in a county called Pingxiang next to Taiping County. Fortunately, the magistrate of Pingxiang was a smart man. He found the solution early in the book and burned all the locusts.

In addition, Da Zhuang also mentioned that the magistrate of Taiping was obstructed by a large number of farmers when he burned the locusts, because there was a local legend that the locusts were the god of agriculture. Therefore, Dazhuang is very worried. If there are large-scale locusts in other places, and the county magistrate does not act or gives up because of the obstruction of the people, then the uncontrolled locusts will inevitably develop into a locust plague.

When Su Wangqin returned home, he saw Gu Chunzhu with such a gloomy face. He is less sensitive to climate than Gu Chunzhu, so he can't think of the worry that was discussed years ago now.

He walked to Gu Chunzhu's side suspiciously, regardless of what happened, he was going to make Gu Chunzhu happy first. But as soon as he put his hand on Gu Chunzhu, Gu Chunzhu turned his head and said solemnly, "The worry has come true, there is a large-scale locust in Pingxiang next door to Taiping, and there is a great possibility of drought this spring."

Su Wangqin knew what it was at once, lowered his arms in silence, lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking. In the end, he raised his head and said in a sullen voice, "Then I will immediately send someone to notify Xiaocheng, and by the way, I will also investigate the specific situation, so as to convince the court to solve the problem as soon as possible."

"Then I can go to Jin Han first to understand the situation." Gu Chunzhu immediately added, Su Wangqin nodded.

Then, the three of them started one after another. Xiao Cheng was in charge of collecting information from various places, while Su Wangqin went to investigate the river conditions around the capital, and by the way, he also asked the old farmer to ask questions.

Su Wangqin was the first to complete the investigation. The river water around the capital has indeed decreased compared with previous years, and the experienced old farmers have already begun to worry about this matter. They all said that if it doesn't rain next month, the capital will definitely suffer from severe drought, and there will be no harvest this year.

It wasn't long before Jinhan wrote back, and even though Jinhan had restrained himself, he could read between the lines of his anger and anger. Because there were also small-scale locusts under his rule, but the ones below concealed it. But as soon as he found out, he found someone to deal with the matter, and also persuaded the group of people to dig a pit to store water.

In the end, Jin Han also asked Gu Chunzhu whether he wanted to report and when he should report.

Soon, Xiaocheng also received a reply from the following people. It turned out that there have been large-scale outbreaks of locusts in many places. As far as the locations collected by his subordinates are Changping, Tangshan, Wangdu, Leting, and Pingxiang.

The most important thing is that, except for Pingxiang, a county adjacent to Taiping County, where the locusts were controlled, no other locusts were controlled, and none of them were reported to the emperor. But it's not that they don't report it, but that they can't get to the court if they report it, such as Changping. Changping county magistrate discovered the situation early on, and he was also in the process of taking action to deal with it without decisiveness.

After Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin listened to Xiao Cheng's words quietly, they were both silent for a while. Gu Chunzhu suddenly sneered after thinking about it, and said sarcastically, "It's just the same for a corpse meal."

"The emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and the prince is not very sober. The people below gradually start to ignore things and it's normal. I just don't understand, why are they still trying to deceive the top and whitewash peace at this juncture? Don't you know the severity of the locust plague?" Xiao Cheng continued with a sad face.

"Then let's report it to the emperor first? Jin Han asked me if he wanted to report to the court. I asked him to write a statement of his attitude, but I don't think it will reach the emperor." It's been a few days since I wrote back to Jin Han, and probably Jin Han's memorial has just left his hand.

Xiaocheng nodded, "Then I'll tell it directly at the court meeting this time. I don't believe that the facts are in front of them and they will pretend they can't see it."

Su Wangqin has been silent since the beginning, but after hearing Xiaocheng's words, he finally said, "Xiaocheng, don't have too much expectations, don't be so angry that you will affect the things that follow, and focus on disaster relief. ."

Xiaocheng pursed his lips and was reluctant to believe Su Wangqin's words, but finally nodded. Su Wangqin also saw from Xiaocheng's face that he was stubborn and did not believe in evil. He didn't say any more. Some things still need to let the young man hit the south wall himself to know the pain.

In the early morning of the next day, after some routine reports and speeches, the emperor's personal eunuch stood up, and his shrill voice echoed in the spacious hall, "If there is something, I will play, and I will retreat!"

Xiaocheng was full of energy, took a step to the side, held his memorial in both hands, and bowed respectfully, "Grandson has something to play."

After a winter of cultivation, the emperor looked slightly better, and his face was a little rosier. He lifted his heavy eyelids, looked at Xiaocheng, and tried his best to say in a neutral voice, "Show me the memorial."

Xiaocheng took two steps forward and handed the memorial to the eunuch, then retreated and lowered his head and continued to state in a calm tone, "My grandson went to the outskirts of the city to play a few days ago, and found that the nearby farmers were all looking at the farmland with sad faces. Out of curiosity The grandson went to inquire about it, and they told the grandson that there were occasional locusts nearby, and the seedlings were almost eaten up."

"Grandchildren go through the pages to help them find a solution.

Baishu, while finding solutions, also found some problems. According to historical records, as soon as locusts appear, they will basically flood into disasters, and it heralds the advent of a severe drought. So the grandson asked people to check it out, and there were indeed many outbreaks of insect infestations at the same time. More details of the grandson have been written in the memorial. "

In fact, Xiaocheng's memorial not only wrote about the locust plague, but also urged Xie Yun to investigate and deal with the locust plague.

After reading the memorial with a gloomy face, the emperor directly asked a few ministers to ask questions, "You are all my right-hand man, tell me what you think, and how should this matter be resolved?"

Several people went out to salute, looked at each other a few times while bowing their heads, and confirmed each other's thoughts with their eyes, and then the highest official, Lord Wu, said solemnly, "This matter is very important, and it should be investigated clearly before deciding the next step. ."

The others, like parrots, followed suit like a tongue-in-cheek, "That's right, it should be."
