Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Knowing that the Guanzhong area also has a lot of influence, and there are also a lot of farmland plants in his farm, it is natural to have to make some preparations.

There are also some experiences to be found in the locust plague in ancient times, such as raising chickens and ducks, and smoking, etc. These are all methods.

"Master, according to Master's request, a large number of chickens and ducks have been raised long ago."

Lai Fu respectfully said that although he had some doubts in his heart, how could this old man suddenly raise so many chickens and ducks, but one thing he did not talk too much.

Shu An nodded, and it should be about the same. It is already almost April, which should be the time when the severe drought and locust plague broke out at the same time.

It can be said that if they had not participated, then most of the people in the pass should still be sitting in their hometowns waiting to die.

Of course, even after he reminded them, some people still stayed in the pass and did not go south. Even Shu An couldn't help it. After all, some people's hometown complex could not be changed even by him.

"Did Sun Simiao find it?"

Shu An's eyes flickered and he suddenly said, locusts have good medicinal value, and they taste good if they are fried.

Of course, in this era, oil and salt are much more expensive than locusts themselves, but even so, at least it can help people overcome fear.

It's not that locusts are inedible. If they are worth their own value, there are some rumors that are unfounded. At this time, Sun Simiao needs to play a role.

The speech effect of this world-renowned miracle doctor is also not much weaker than him, at least it can change some people's minds.

Many people in this era believe that locusts are natural disasters that cannot be eradicated by humans, and killing too many insects is harmful to the peace of nature.

Undoubtedly, Shu An scoffed at this kind of concept. As a person who traveled through later generations, he naturally knew the cause of locusts.

"Master, Doctor Sun was found by guards in the Henan area not long ago, but he said he would come to Chang'an, but he doesn't know when he will arrive in Chang'an."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Laifu's face and he said, after all, this time he invited this genius doctor to come to Chang'an, rather than forcing him.

So even if he doesn't know the whereabouts of this genius doctor Sun, the world is really big, and there are also many roads leading to Chang'an.

Shu An nodded to show that he understood. Lai Fu and the others cannot be blamed for this matter. Sun Simiao has always traveled around, so it is good to be able to find it.

As for when he will be able to come to Chang'an, it is indeed unknown, but according to his understanding of Sun Simiao, it should not be too far away.

.......

Just as Shu An was thinking about Sun Simiao's question, a piece of news from Chang'an also began to spread.

"A big event happened in the pass. It is said that it is not only a severe drought, but also a plague of locusts."

A piece of news that didn't know where it came from quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and it came very suddenly.

However, it doesn't seem to be because of falsehood, because under the investigation of some people, it was found that the source of all this turned out to be from various government houses.

It can be said that this made many people's eyes twinkle, because there are some dukes who have nothing to do with An Xuangong, so the possibility of fraud is also ruled out.

And continue to dig deeper, it turned out that yesterday afternoon, several princes were rushed in by an urgent move from the palace.

If you think about it this way, the result is self-evident, that is to say, this piece of news came from the palace.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Originally, Li Shimin had to make some decisions because of the refugees.

It's just that before he thought about how to deal with the refugees, something new happened. It can be said that this emperor is a little bit burnt out.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't intend to block the news, on the one hand, he justified his sub-father's name.

On the other hand, it is estimated that the concealment will not last long. After all, the customs are not far from Chang'an, and it is only a matter of a few days.

Because of this, the whole Chang'an was shocked by this news, after all, Duke Anxuan was in the limelight before.

"Has there really been a plague of locusts in the pass?"

"That doesn't mean that what An Xuangong said before is correct."

"I have known for a long time that Duke Anxuan is not very human, and now I see that he is indeed so."

.......

There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an, and there was a hint of exclamation in the words.

Of course, many people's eyes flashed with red heat, did they ask An Xuangong to make a fortune for themselves?

In addition, it pushed the reputation of this Duke Anxuan to a higher level. Of course, most people watched the excitement.

After all, Duke Anxuan had no enmity with them before, even if he predicted the success or failure of Tianji, it still didn't matter much to most people in Chang'an.

However, there are still a small number of people with gloomy complexions at this time, obviously in a bad mood.

"What, was he really guessed right?"

In the Zhang residence, Zhang Kuo said with a hint of disbelief on his face.

"Master, the news has spread throughout Chang'an."

A servant said with an ugly look on his face, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

Zhang Kuo only felt his eyes darken, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face, because now that Duke An Xuan was proven right.

Then he kept jumping up and down before, in order to tarnish Duke Anxuan's reputation, but now these behaviors look like a clown.

Presumably, if he went to court, many people would impeach him, and maybe he would not be able to keep his official position now.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Kuo's expression was a little sluggish, obviously a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do now.

The originally imagined script did not come true, but instead he fell into an embarrassing situation.

"Master, why don't you pretend to be sick? Isn't that what Master Wei did last time?"

The servant on the side couldn't help but suggested aloud, with a hint of cleverness in his words.

But Zhang Kuo's eyes lit up slightly, because it's a good idea to pretend to be sick, and you must know that His Majesty has always sympathized with these courtiers.

If you pretend to be sick, then you can definitely escape the catastrophe. Wait, you can't pretend to be sick, but really get sick.

Because if he pretends to be sick, it is very likely to be exposed by other ministers. If that happens, he may add a crime of deceiving the emperor.

A stern look flashed across Zhang Kuo's eyes as he looked at his thighs. He chose the former among the official position and the momentary painful choice.

"Ah!"

Not long after, a scream came from Zhang's mansion, as if he was enduring some great pain.

"Come on people!"

"Is something wrong with the master?"

"Master's leg is broken, hurry up and invite the doctor."

......

For a while, the whole Zhang Mansion became a noisy mess, as if they were afraid that other people would not know.

Chapter 124 The Tired Li Shimin

The incident of Zhang Kuo's thigh injury did not cause much disturbance, but many people still paid attention to it.

After all, when Zhang Kuo filed a complaint in front of the imperial court, there was nothing wrong with jumping around. How could it be possible that he broke his thigh suddenly after the incident broke out in the customs.

If there are no tricks in it, no one will believe it, but according to some servants, this Zhang Kuo was carried out.

The wound on the thigh was not small, even those who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but click their tongues secretly.

"I didn't expect Zhang Kuo to be so cruel to me!"

Some people murmured that many people didn't care about this little pawn before, but now they see it differently.

Of course, that's all. For most people, Zhang Kuo's level is still too low.

If it weren't for the fact that An Xuangong had some sense of existence this time, even they might not remember him.

However, the previously prepared rhetoric needs to be changed, after all, Zhang Kuo is so seriously injured now.

If it is impeached again, then I am afraid that the reputation will not be good. Many people secretly think that this person is lucky.

Except for some people paying attention, the guards in the Shu Mansion also missed this news.

The matter of the previous court meeting had spread all over Chang'an, and the rumors in the background had already made Shu Kuanghu and others have a lot of impressions of this Zhang Kuo.

Of course, these impressions are more not very good impressions, so naturally more attention is paid to Zhang Kuo.

So when there was such a big commotion in Zhang Kuo, it was natural that the news was received immediately, and then the news was reported to Shu An.

"It's just a clown, nothing to worry about."

Shu An's eyes were plain and he said softly, he had also heard about the news in Chang'an.

Originally, according to his calculations, Chang'an should be able to get news within these few days, so there were not too many surprises.

However, as the news spread to Chang'an, it meant that the number of refugees coming to Chang'an would also increase in a short period of time.

"Laifu, how many people lined up in front of the Shu Mansion today?"

Shu An's voice sounded, and there was a trace of curiosity in the words, after all, the number of refugees of these two people is indeed quite a lot.

"Master, you don't know, the queue is almost at the gate of Chang'an."

Laifu said with a wry smile on his face, if there were more people, it would affect the traffic in Chang'an.

It can be said that this matter still needs to be decided by the master, because not only tens of thousands of people flooded into Chang'an this time, but at least tripled.

Shu An couldn't help but be taken aback when he found out, the refugees came a little faster indeed.

"Tomorrow, the relief will be placed outside Chang'an City, so the place will be big enough."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said softly, after a few days of fermentation, no one must know that he is helping these refugees.

Therefore, it is natural that no one will misunderstand anything outside Chang'an City.

Laifu nodded, and wrote down his master's instructions. He also thought it would be good to put it outside Chang'an City.

And after Laifu withdrew, Shu An's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something, although there was nothing he could do about it from Zhang Kuo.

After all, Zhang Kuo has already hid in the mansion, but Zhang Kuo is not alone, if he is a good person, it is fine, if he is evil to others, then there is no need to show mercy.

Of course, he is mainly concerned about the refugee issue. For him, the situation in the customs is not important to him.

"People's hearts are available!"

After a long time, Shu An's faint voice sounded, and there was a hint of unknown meaning in the words.

.......

In the palace, Li Shimin's face was filled with urgency, because after the locust plague, the whole customs could be said to be in dire straits.

Naturally, the emperor couldn't calm down anymore, because it was a day or two before the news.

This proves that the locust plague in the pass has begun, and Li Shimin is waiting for the news in the pass at this time.

If you don't know the situation in the customs, even Li Shimin is a little helpless. After all, if you don't understand the situation, if you make a will, it may cause the opposite result.

"Tread, step!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came, which made Li Shimin's eyes light up.

The figure of Li Junxian walked in a little anxiously, but there was a strange look on his face.

"How's it going inside?"

However, Li Shimin, who was in a hurry, didn't notice the strange expression on the commander of Baiqi, and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, although the plague of locusts is coming in the pass, not many people died of starvation."

Li Junxian said respectfully, according to the situation of previous droughts, lying dead for thousands of miles is considered light, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

According to their thinking, at least half of the people in the entire customs would lose more than half. Although a wave of food was collected and sent to them before, it would be a waste of money after all.

"how can that be?"

A flash of disbelief flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he murmured softly, with a dull expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, it is said that some time ago, the rumors of Lord Anxuan's prediction of heaven's secrets swept through the pass, and countless people moved south."

Li Junxian didn't hesitate for long, and immediately told all the reasons he knew, even he felt a little unbelievable.

It is unreasonable for Li Junxian to let countless people go south just by a rumor, but the facts prove that these people are right.

If there is no going south, then the only way to stay in the pass is to starve to death. Li Junxian is also aware of the situation in Chang'an.

That is the lack of food, and it is not a general shortage, so he naturally knows that there is no way to relieve the disaster.

Although there are still some food reserves in the border area, His Majesty cannot move it because it is the food of the soldiers at the border.
