Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 146

    As 191 AD gradually entered the midsummer, there were more and more locusts jumping in the grass. However, this is already considered leisure, and the overwhelming army of locusts has not yet arrived.

    “Natural disasters are about to start, prevention is greater than cure, and prevention precedes cure. Now that the larvae have begun to molt and grow, it is time to order all places to stock chickens and ducks and hunt and kill locusts. Your Majesty should also pray to heaven and earth, Pray for the people.” On the first day of the seventh lunar month, at the grand court meeting in Xu County, Cao Sheng, who in the past would not express his views except for the emperor’s inquiries, was the first in the world to perform.

    A “buzz” sounded immediately above the meeting.

    “Even if it is an imperial teacher, don’t be alarmist!” Someone immediately said, “Your Majesty is virtuous, obeying God’s will, and obeying the people’s hearts. There is nothing wrong with morality, where did natural disasters come to the world?”

    Before he finished speaking, someone in the corner whispered: “It’s not Cao Cao who is in charge of Yanzhou now? If you want to lose morality, it’s also Cao Cao’s loss of morality, and it has nothing to do with us.”

    Cao Cao can now sit at the back of the most central cases to prepare for his debriefing, why can’t he hear? He turned his head sharply, his sharp eyes swept in the direction of the sound, and saw that several officials in the corner were pale, fighting with each other, and almost fell off the seat.

    Then he sneered, turned around and gave the little emperor a salute: “Your Majesty. It’s not the first year that the plague of locusts has been encountered. It is a small bug in three years, a big bug in five years, since the minister was young. Qingzhou has already made customizations a few years ago, pulling nets, digging trenches to kill, burning fire, recruiting people to catch insects, government officials buying insect eggs, raising chickens and ducks to eat insects… As long as everyone works together, it is still possible to keep 30% of the harvest. did it.”

    The little emperor looked pale.

    Asheng stood unconditionally at this time with his brother: “Your Majesty, this year, some disciples of Xinmo made insect bags and insect nets, which can be caught by the pulling of livestock. There are also children of doctors who found that locusts can be used as medicine. To cure tuberculosis, prepare to make a big purchase.”

      Small loss.

    This is talking about natural disasters, it’s just about business.

    Yang Biao asked: “Don’t the two of you care about the ‘loss of morality’ at all? If there are natural disasters, is it okay to not cultivate morality and introspect?”

    “The world is in chaos, how many people have died in these years? It’s not incomprehensible that God is angry.” Ah Sheng waved his hand, “But we can’t let the common people die obediently, and I don’t care who God is facing. When I get angry, I always have to make a living for the people. Even before the gods of heaven and earth, I have a clear conscience.”

    “Okay!” Cao Cao high-fived and shouted, “Today, there are evil spirits coming, eating my grains, and hurting my officials and people. Wouldn’t it be fun if you join me with your swords to kill them!”

    At this moment, Cao Cao was so arrogant, and his momentum actually suppressed the little emperor on the throne.

    With this out, there will be no other matters to discuss at the conference, all are the details of dealing with the locust plague. The Cao family can’t be the only one to worry about. There are many tenants in the big family’s land, so it should be helpful to mobilize the masses.

    Yang Biao took the lead and took the task of catching a thousand stones for Hongnong Yang, no reward. Ah Sheng was really impressed by the Yang family’s patriarch. In order to help the little emperor escape east, the Hongnong Yang family suffered countless casualties. In fact, their strength is not as good as before. It is not just saying that they handed in a thousand stone locusts. That’s all.

    It is also a top family, look at Yuan Shu, who is enjoying luxury in Yangzhou, and Yang Biao, who has white hair and beard at the age of fifty.

    Cao Cao grabbed Yang Biao’s hand, tears welling up in his eyes: “Yang Gong has a deep friendship, and Cao will keep it in his heart. If this disaster can be overcome, Yang Gong should take the lead and benefit future generations. .” What is “benefiting future generations”? Which kid in your family is smart? This puts him in office.

    As soon as these words came out, everyone else changed their faces. It’s no wonder that the Cao brothers wanted to put the disaster control to Xu County, which is to submit the names of the major families in Guanzhong. But on the other hand, as long as the locust plague contributes, the young people in the family can enter Cao Cao’s government office in Juancheng, which is much better than if they were trapped in Xu County.

    Little emperor, Cao Cao, bet on both sides, do you do it? Of course it does.

    The second one who stood up was the Chong family who had an old relationship with the Cao family, and then the Wei family, Pei family, Jia family, and Zheng family also took the task of their own, and they didn’t even understand it. Dong Cheng, the doorman, also said that he would help the emperor to raise three thousand stones, which attracted Asheng’s frequent glances.

    But in the end, locusts have become a hot commodity, and in Ah Sheng’s opinion, everyone is happy.

    The court was dispersed, Cao Cao ran up to his sister and asked for credit triumphantly: “How about it, eldest brother, can I help you achieve what you want?”

    In front of the little emperor, Ah Sheng glared at him: “If it weren’t for the plagues, droughts, floods, locusts, etc., I wouldn’t be this early bird, this is my business ?”

    “Yes, yes,” Cao Cao hurriedly smoothed his hair, “Asheng cares about the people, and is the most selfless.”

    The little emperor looked at this, looked at that: “So Duke Cao and Cao Zi are like this in private.”

    The two quickly raised their hands: “Let Your Majesty laugh.”

    Liu Xie shook his head, his face full of envy: “It’s good to have brothers. When my brother was there, he was actually kind to me…” He quickly wiped away tears with his sleeves.

    Liu Bian who fought with Liu Xie for the throne? This is probably not a good topic. Ah Sheng interrupted his emotions: “Your Majesty, the insect disaster is getting worse and worse. I am going to lead some of the school’s children to each county to supervise the disaster treatment process. I am afraid that your Majesty’s class will have to be temporarily replaced by others.”

    The little emperor grabbed Ah Sheng’s sleeve and said, “Cao Zi said that if the superiors want to take risks personally, what’s the use of asking the officials below? Although this disaster is big, I will listen to you. It depends on the whole country to work hard to catch insects. Even if Cao Zi went to the field in person, he would not be able to dig a few insect eggs, so why did he need to go?”

    “If there are other disasters, it’s fine if they are assigned and put under supervision. But the locust plague is different.” A Sheng frowned, “The people are ignorant and worship the locust god. I would not dare to eat insects at such a level. People who have no status and honor to sweep away the evil gods and miscellaneous sacrifices, even if they are lured by huge profits, the effect will be worrying. My brother is busy with the whole army going south to attack Yuan Shu. I am the only one who will go. .”

    “Then I will go with Cao Zi. I am the emperor, I do not worship the locust god. Under the power of the emperor, who dares to see?” The little emperor’s eyes lit up.

    “Your Majesty, please cherish the feathers.”

    “No, it’s too dangerous to go out.”

    The twins refused at the same time.

    The little emperor pouted: “The people who assassinate Cao Gong may not be fewer than me, but Cao Gong is not running everywhere. I am still young, and I can hide in the house and not come out. When I grow up, I can’t be like this, so what kind of emperor is that? I follow Cao Zi, so I’m not afraid of anything.”

      Trapped in the deep palace, you will be deceived by the villain. The disasters in the four states have led to years of disasters, the people have been displaced and gathered in Taiping Road, the number of which is as many as 600,000, and the late emperor is ignorant in the palace. The **** ministers are either afraid of angering the late emperor, or Even if he took bribes and taels of silver, he would hide it and not report it. If the late emperor was willing to go to the outskirts of Luoyang to talk to the old farmer, there would be nothing that happened later.”

    He wiped away his tears: “Gaozu and Guangwu all started from the wild and gained the world, and they have gone through many dangers. If I want to surrender the world now, what is the difference between conquering the world? Can it be done by issuing an edict in the palace?”

& nbsp; ‘, Your Majesty knows how much weight your edict is, it is worth more than a million soldiers! Stop saying willful words, your life is much more important than the plague of locusts.”

    Liu Xie was not reconciled, stood up and said loudly: “If my identity was really useful, I would not have been begging outside to live. I haven’t seen you in the first place, I’ll never be absent when I ask for food’, I feel like a knife in my heart. Now is the time when the people need to see me, I, I… I also want to do practical things for the world.”

    After speaking, she ran behind the screen and went to the bedroom. Only Cao Cao looked sluggish.

    After a long time, he looked at Ah Sheng with a complicated expression: “In just a few months, Your Majesty has changed.”

    “None of your sons and daughters understand what you are doing with your self-proclaimed loyal ministers.”

& nbsp;

    “I won’t let your Majesty go.”

    “…” Cao Cao struggled for a long time before reluctantly agreed halfway, “Let’s start with the farms around Xu County. Don’t leave the jurisdiction of Xu County.”

    “Good.”

    “I sent Xiahou Dun to **** 500 people. You replace all the maids by your Majesty’s side with people from the espionage department, as well as Dong Cheng’s Yu Linwei, and the family’s soldiers, not a single one is allowed. run.”

    “Good.”

    A Sheng’s attitude made him anxious. “You, sigh, you are just a plague of locusts. As for it? Even if I don’t have Liaodong’s aid, I still have food for a year. It’s a big deal not to fight Yuan Shu this year!”

    “The management of disasters is still second, the important thing is that Your Majesty must stand up. In two years, He will propose marriage to His Majesty. It is much better for him to stand up by himself than to be controlled by his relatives. We Home, there are no girls of the right age.”

    Cao Zhen is too old and already engaged; Cao Jie is too young to walk. Looking for relatives is not suitable.

    Cao Cao can only worry about saying this: “I used to think that these children were noisy enough, but when it came to the end, I realized that they were not enough.”

    However, Ah Sheng still overestimated the lower limit of some people. The little emperor is only eleven years old, and the major families are planning his harem. The Wang family in Taiyuan and the Wei family in Hedong have their wives and girls to go to Xu County to collect wind. I don’t know what to do in this season of locusts flying all over the sky.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Sheng hurriedly dragged the disciples to the farm outside the city. “I’d rather let Xiahouchong that skin monkey roast bugs every day.”

    July has passed, and August has passed, and the little emperor is safe and sound, just tanned, and the smile on his face is more.

    Assassins naturally exist, but they are repelled one by one under strict defense. After a lot of experience, Liu Xie was not so afraid anymore. He carried a small dagger close to his body and learned a set of dagger exercises from the guards, and he could stab people in times of crisis.

    Summer is coming to an end, they traveled to 13 counties in Sili, Yanzhou, and visited 16 large and small families. Not only did he control the locust plague, but he also gained a lot of prestige, and finally returned to Xu County.

    In September, the school opened, and Liu Xie’s classmates increased to more than 40 people, all of whom were brought back from the inspection by the counties. Compared with those old foxes who have different ideas, these talents are more likely to become his right-hand man in the future.
