Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Thirty states and counties are just the beginning. When the locusts spread, at least [-] states and counties will be affected!"

Liu Bai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slowly stood up from the rocking chair.

Carrying the fan, he walked to the gate and told Old Wu to open the door.

hum-

The door slowly opened, and there were people standing outside the door!

They didn't speak, but looked at Liu Bai with burning eyes, and their eyes were full of hope.

Old Wu was taken aback, fell to the ground with a 'plop', then hurriedly got up and stood in front of Liu Bai.

"What are you all going to do? Don't hurt my young master!"

Liu Bai tapped him on the head with his fan, and scolded him with a smile, "Didn't you see that they are all from our Zhuangzi?"

Say this!

The folks standing outside the door suddenly knelt down with a 'crash'!

"Thank you, young master, for saving your life!"

"The young master is prophetic, and saved the lives of our entire Zhuangzi!"

"The locust plague is prevalent, only our village has hoarded a large amount of food early, young master is wise!"

For their reaction, Liu Bai had already expected it.

The news of the locust plague was sent at noon, and it was almost dark, and the villagers almost knew about it.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Bai bought countless grains from various places at a high price.

For this reason, he deliberately built several huge granaries at the east end of Liujiazhuangzi.

Enough to feed the whole Zhuangzi for more than ten years!

At the beginning, the villagers were still a little puzzled, and some even advised Liu Bai, saying that there is so much grain hoarded, there is no way to eat it all, and they can only rot in the granary.

The people of the world don't know about the locust plague!

What's more, the folks in Liujiazhuangzi stopped growing crops a long time ago, and relying on opening shops to do business, each one is richer than the other.

Not to mention food, even meat can be eaten every day.

Naturally, he didn't understand Liu Bai's reason for hoarding grain.

But now, it turns out that Liu Bai did nothing wrong.

As soon as the news of the locust plague came out, the price of food in the entire Tang Dynasty doubled several times!

Moreover, there is a price but no market, so you can't buy it at all!

This is equivalent to saving the lives of all the villagers in Zhuangzi!

A few elderly men came out tremblingly.

"Young master, we old fellows have discussed that we will advance and retreat with the master's family. It is estimated that the locust plague will spread to Guanzhong in a short time. Young master, just give orders, what do you need the folks to do?"

Liu Bai smiled lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "There is indeed one thing that I need to ask the folks to do."

Li Er rushed to Liujiazhuangzi in a hurry with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The situation was urgent, this time Li Er didn't bring many people with him.

The plague of locusts is spreading. Once the number of victims increases sharply, the world will be in chaos!

At this time, who cares about pomp?

He didn't even sit on Long Lun, and rode a fast horse directly, followed by a hundred or so big insiders.

As for the officials, those who have the ability to ask for horses from the palace will naturally follow behind.

Those who have no ability can only run wildly

When Li Er arrived at Liujiazhuangzi, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the archway, he suddenly felt something unusual.

Along the way, the places they passed were all in a mess. When the people heard the news of the locust plague, they went crazy and hoarded food.

Some who couldn't buy food even gathered together without authorization to be tough in the home of the landlord Lao Cai!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and if there is no food, no one will care about face anymore.

But Li Er was anxious and didn't have time to worry about it.

But after arriving at Liujiazhuangzi, it was quiet.

From the farmers' homes, there was a strong smell of rice.

Li Er, who hadn't eaten since noon, felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

With the traffic on the rice paddies and the smell of chickens and dogs, Liujiazhuangzi is still the same as before, full of peace.

Li Er even saw a few children playing around at Zhuangzikou!

Why is that?

In Li Er's heart, he suddenly felt relaxed.

The atmosphere of Liujiazhuangzi gave him some courage.

"go!"

He knocked on the horse's belly, and led the people behind him towards the direction of Liu's mansion.

"Master, Your Majesty is coming!"

Someone had already told the concierge Lao Wu the news of Li Er's visit.

Only then did Old Wu report to Liu Bai as if his butt was on fire.

At this moment, Liu Bai was sitting in the study, explaining something to everyone.

Not only Shen Wansan and Wang Shouren came back, but also Cheng Chumo, Chai Lingwu, and Xue Li who was working in the East Palace rushed home!

If it wasn't for Li Chengqian's leg not recovering, he would definitely join in the fun.

"According to this arrangement, each of you is responsible for an area, and after dawn, there will be a large number of people for you to dispatch!"

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison, quite a bit of the meaning of united will.

Hearing that Li Er was coming, Liu Bai walked out of the study and went to the gate to greet him.

Before Liu Bai could get there, Li Er broke in by himself.

"Liu Bai, as you said, the locust plague has indeed come true! I never thought that this locust plague would be so severe!"

Li Er shouted loudly as he walked.

"Liu Bai welcomes His Majesty!"

Li Er directly stretched out his hand to help Liu Bai up.

"When is it? Don't pay attention to these rules. Only you in this world can help me put down the locust plague. Give me an idea!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while, besides, Mr. Fang and the others are afraid"

Liu Bai pointed behind Li Er.

Li Er looked back, with a strange expression on his face.

On this journey just now, he rode his horse very fast, without any scruples about the people behind him.

The big insiders didn't feel much, but they suffered a lot from the ministers.

At this moment, all of them were disheveled, out of breath, and dirty like mud monkeys.

Along the way just now, they all followed Li Er's horseshoe to eat ashes.

Fang Xuanling seemed to have fallen, and walked forward, clutching his back, "Young Master Liu, don't worry about it anymore! Your Majesty is burning with anxiety, and we are also extremely terrified. If the plague of locusts is not handled properly, the world will surely be in chaos." !"

Liu Bai suppressed a smile, and said: "Fang Xiang's current attire is also suitable for the next thing."

Hearing this, Li Er ignored etiquette, grabbed Liu Bai's sleeve, and said, "You have a solution?"

Liu Bai pulled back his sleeves without showing any signs, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, originally potatoes and corn had to wait for a few more days, but since the plague of locusts has come, there is nothing to harvest now, please Your Majesty arrange more people, All the folks in my Liujiazhuangzi have already gone."

Chapter 221

Jingyang County Government Office!

It was already dark, and Di Zhixun was still awake.

Although tomorrow is Di Renjie's [-]-day banquet, his thoughts have long been out of it!

More than [-] states and counties have suffered locust plagues.

Calculated according to the spreading speed of the locust plague, it will reach Jingyang County in a few days!

He is a lowly official, and it is not his turn to worry about the affairs of the people in other states and counties.

But the safety of the people in Jingyang County is enough to determine the life and death of his family!

"Once the plague of locusts spreads to Jingyang, the only way to burn the fields is to prevent the locusts from flying to Chang'an City!"

"Almost all the farmland in Jingyang belongs to Mr. Liu, what should I do?"

It is not too difficult to deal with Jingyang's disaster.

Offending Liu Bai, the worst thing is to die and apologize!

He has the courage.

But after the locust plague, there will be countless victims flocking to Chang'an!

How should Jingyang County, as the northern gate guarding Chang'an, deal with itself?

In addition, after the great disaster, there must be a great epidemic!

Is it necessary to ask Immortal Sun and Dr. Li in advance to study and judge a countermeasure in advance?

Di Zhixun brushed his hair down one by one worryingly, and thought for an hour, but he couldn't think of any good way.

Little Di Renjie next to him seemed to feel that he was being left out, and burst into tears.

Without even thinking about it, Di Zhixun threw a book on the table over!

Fortunately, Mrs. Di caught it in time, so that the future famous official of the Tang Dynasty was saved from his father's "black hands".

"It's all about the court, what's your anger with the child?"

As the saying goes, being a mother is tough, Mrs. Di, who was gentle and gentle in the past, can't help but glaring at Di Zhixun at this moment.

Di Zhixun rubbed his forehead, "Ma'am, you don't know something"

Before he could finish his sentence, the yamen servants outside suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"Master, something is wrong!"

Di Zhixun felt a 'thump' in his heart.

Could it be that the plague of locusts came so quickly?

impossible!

Didn't you say that it is still in the area of ​​Huainan Road?

"Master, Your Majesty has come to Jingyang. It is at Liujiazhuangzi. I summon you to go there quickly. If you don't arrive within half an hour, you will be executed!"

Di Zhixun's expression changed suddenly, and before he had time to chat with his wife, he stepped on his boots and ran outside.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrived at Liujiazhuangzi within the stipulated time.

As soon as he entered the archway, Di Zhixun suddenly felt something was wrong.

He usually runs to Liujiazhuangzi.

No matter it is day or night, under the archway in Zhuangzikou, there are always a group of old men playing chess together.

The old ladies must also be sitting on the street, chatting about homework.

Moreover, the folks in Liujiazhuangzi are rich and willing to light oil lamps.
