Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

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

"Natural disasters are about to strike, and prevention is greater than cure, and prevention precedes cure. Now that the larvae have begun to molt and grow, it is time to ask all places to stock up on chickens and ducks, and to hunt and kill locusts. Your Majesty should also pray to heaven and earth, and pray for the people." On the first day of July , Xu County Dachaohui, Cao Sheng, who used to not express his opinions except for the emperor's inquiries, was the first to perform for the first time.

There was a burst of "buzzing" immediately at the meeting.

"Even if you are an emperor teacher, don't scare me!" Someone immediately said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and he obeys the will of heaven and the will of the people. If there is no morality, how can natural disasters come to the world?"

Before the words were finished, someone whispered in the corner: "Isn't Cao Cao in charge of Yanzhou now? If he loses his virtue, it's Cao Cao's loss of morality, and it has nothing to do with us."

Cao Cao can now sit behind the most central desks and prepare to report on his work. What voices can't be heard?He turned his head sharply, and his sharp gaze swept towards the direction of the sound. He saw that the faces of several officials in the corner were ashen, and they almost fell off the seat.

Only then did he sneer, and turned around to salute the little emperor: "Your Majesty, this is not the first year that we have encountered a plague of locusts. Every three years there is a small insect, and every five years there is a large insect. It has been like this since I was a child. A few years ago Qingzhou has long been customizing, pulling nets, digging ditches to kill, burning, recruiting people to catch insects, the government buying insect eggs, raising chickens and ducks to eat insects... As long as everyone works together, it is still possible to keep [-]% of the harvest."

The little emperor's face was pale.

At this time, Ah Sheng stood up to his elder brother unconditionally: "Your Majesty, this year some disciples of Xinmo made insect-catching bags and insect-catching nets, which can be pulled by livestock to catch insects. There are also disciples of doctors who have discovered that locusts can be used as medicine to cure tuberculosis. They are planning to buy them in large quantities."

The two brothers and sisters sang together, and even calculated how many locusts each county could receive, how long they would eat, how many chickens and ducks could be slaughtered, and how much they were worth. If they were not caught, it would be a blood loss;

This is not talking about natural disasters, it is talking about business.

Yang Biao asked: "The two of you don't care about the 'lost morality' at all? Since there are natural disasters, don't practice morality and self-examination, is it okay?"

"The world is in chaos, how many people have died in these years? It is not incomprehensible for God to be angry." A Sheng waved his hand, "But the common people must not be allowed to die obediently. I don't care who God is angry with, I always want to be for the people To make a living. Even in front of the gods of heaven and earth, I have a clear conscience."

"Okay!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and shouted, "Now there are evil gods coming, eating my grains and hurting my officials and people. Wouldn't you be happy to kill them with my swords together!"

At this moment, Cao Cao was so full of pride that the momentum of his whole body suppressed the little emperor on the throne.

With this announcement, there will be no other matters discussed at the Great Court Meeting, and it will be all about the detailed rules for dealing with the locust plague.The Cao family can't be the only ones 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 insects for Hongnong Yang with a thousand stones, no rewards.Ah Sheng really looked at the head of the Yang family with admiration. In order to help the little emperor escape to the east, the Hongnong Yang family suffered countless casualties. In fact, their strength is not as good as before. It is not just a lip service to hand in a thousand stone locusts. That's all.

It is also a top-notch family, look at Yuan Shu who is enjoying himself extravagantly in Yangzhou, and then look at Yang Biao who has all white beard and hair at the age of 50.

Cao Cao grabbed Yang Biao's hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "Mr. Yang has a deep friendship, and Cao will remember it in his heart. If he can survive the disaster this time, Mr. Yang should make the first contribution, and his reputation will benefit future generations." What is "benefiting future generations?" "?Which kid in your family is smart?That makes him an officer.

As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the others changed.It's no wonder that the Cao family brothers want to let Xu County tell about the disaster relief. This is for the major families in Guanzhong to submit their certificates.But on the other hand, as long as this locust plague works hard, the young people in the family can enter Cao Cao's government office in Juancheng, which is much better than being trapped in Xu County.

Little Emperor, Cao Cao, bet on both ends, why not?Of course it is.

The second one to stand up was the Zhong family who had an old relationship with the Cao family, and then the Wei family, Pei family, Jia family, and Zheng family all took up the task on their own. Even Dong Cheng, who didn't know much about the way, said that To help the emperor raise three thousand stones, A Sheng frequently looked sideways.

But in the end, the locusts became a hot commodity, and in Ah Sheng's view, everyone was happy.

At the end of the court, Cao Cao ran to his sister and triumphantly asked for credit: "How about it, brother, I can help you achieve what you want, right?"

In front of the little emperor, Ah Sheng glared at him: "If it weren't for the plague, drought, flood, locusts and other catastrophes, I wouldn't be the young bird. Is this my own business?"

"Yes, yes," Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Ah Sheng cares about the common people, and he is the most selfless."

The little emperor looked at this and that: "It turns out that Cao Gong and Cao Zi are like this in private."

The two quickly raised their hands: "You made His Majesty laugh."

Liu Xie shook his head, his face full of envy: "It's better to have a brother. When my elder brother is around, he is actually very kind to me..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he quickly raised his hand and wiped it off with his sleeve. tears.

Liu Bian who competed with Liu Xie for the throne?This is probably not a good topic.A Sheng then interrupted his emotions: "Your Majesty, the pest plague is getting worse and worse. I am going to lead some of my disciples to go to various counties to supervise the progress of disaster relief. I am afraid that your Majesty's class will have to be replaced by someone else."

The little emperor grabbed A Sheng's sleeve: "Cao Zi said that if the superiors want to personally risk themselves, what's the use of the lower officials? Although this disaster is great, but I listen to it, relying on the unity of the people from all over the world." , vigorously catching insects. Even if Cao Zi went to the field himself, he would not be able to dig up a few insect eggs, so why did he make this trip?"

"If it's other disasters, it's okay to distribute them and let people supervise them. But the locust plague is different." A Sheng frowned, "The people are ignorant, and worshiping the locust god is common. They dare not eat insects until they are starving to death. .There is no noble person to wipe out the evil gods and miscellaneous priests. Even if there are huge profits to lure them, the effect will be worrisome. My brother is busy with the whole army going south to attack Yuan Shu, and after all the calculations, I am the only one going."

"Then I will go with Cao Zi. I am the Son of Heaven, and I will not worship the Locust God. Under the imperial power, who would dare?" The little emperor's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of your feathers."

"No, it's too dangerous to go out."

The twins refused at the same time.

The little emperor pouted: "The number of people who assassinated Duke Cao may not be less than that of me, but Duke Cao is still running around. I am still young, and I can stay in the house without coming out. Could it be that I can't do that when I grow up? What kind of emperor is that? If I follow Cao Zi, I will not be afraid of anything."

Cao Cao still wanted to refute, but Liu Xie said again: "I have studied with Cao Zi for half a year, and I have been thinking about what the late emperor did wrong to get to where he is now. Now it seems that it is because he was trapped in the deep palace that he was arrested. The villain is blinded. The disasters in the four prefectures have been in successive years, and the people have been displaced and gathered in the Taiping Road. There are as many as 60 people. However, the late emperor was ignorant in the palace. The eunuchs and ministers were either afraid of angering the late emperor, or they took bribes. They all concealed it and did not report it If the first emperor was willing to go to the outskirts of Luoyang to talk to the old farmers on weekdays, nothing would happen later."

He wiped away his tears: "Gaozu and Guangwu both came to conquer the world from the reckless grass, and they have gone through many dangers. If I want to make the world submit, what is the difference from conquering the world? Is it possible to do it in the palace and issue an edict?" Did you arrive?"

Cao Cao's face changed again and again: "Your Majesty's words made me panic. It is the duty of a minister to use troops to fight. Your Majesty is the blood of the late emperor and holds a righteous name. What is "issuing an imperial edict"? Does Your Majesty know your way?" The weight of the edict is better than a million soldiers! Stop talking willfully, your life is much more important than a plague of locusts."

Not reconciled, Liu Xie stood up and said loudly: "If my status was really useful, I wouldn't have been begging to survive. At that time, some peasants scolded me and said, 'When the disaster strikes, I don't see you in the first place, only those who ask for food Time is never absent', my heart is like a knife scraping. Now is the time when the people need to see me, I, I... I also want to do practical things for the world."

After finishing speaking, she ran into the back of the screen crying and headed towards the bedroom.Only Cao Cao was left with a dull expression.

After a long time, he looked at A Sheng with a complicated expression: "In just a few months, Your Majesty will not be what he used to be."

"You self-proclaimed loyal ministers do things, and none of your children understand."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth: "You know, if something happens to your Majesty's trip this time, you and I won't be able to wash the mud off our bodies even if we jump into the river."

"I won't let His Majesty have anything to do."

"..." Cao Cao struggled for a long time before he reluctantly agreed, "Let's start with the farms around Xu County. Don't leave the jurisdiction of Xu County."

"it is good."

"I sent Xiahou Dun to bring 500 people to escort him. You replace all the maids around His Majesty with people from the spy department, Dong Cheng's Yulin guards, and the family's soldiers. None of them are allowed to escape."

"it is good."

Ah Sheng's attitude made him anxious. "You, alas, you, it's just a plague of locusts. What's the matter? Even if I don't have the aid from Liaodong, I still have a year's worth of food. At worst, I won't fight Yuan Shu this year!"

"Disaster relief is still secondary. The most important thing is that His Majesty will 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. There are no girls of the right age in our family."

Cao Zhen is too old and is already engaged; Cao Jie is too young and has just learned to walk.It is not suitable to find relatives.

In this way, Cao Cao can only worry: "I used to think that these children were enough to make a lot of noise, but when it came to the end, I realized that it was not enough."

However, Ah Sheng still overestimated the lower limit of some people.The little emperor is only 11 years old, and the big families are planning his harem.The Wang family in Taiyuan and the Wei family in Hedong all had their wives and young girls who went to Xu County to collect folk songs.I don't know what to do in this season when locusts are flying all over the sky.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Sheng hurriedly dragged his disciples to the farm outside the city. "I'd rather let that monkey Xia Houchong roast bugs every day."

July passed, August passed, and the little emperor was safe and sound, but he was tanned, and the smiles on his face became more and more.

There were assassins, of course, but they were repelled one by one under the tight defense.After a lot of time, Liu Xie was not so afraid. He wore a small dagger next to his body and learned a set of dagger exercises from the guards. He could stab people in times of crisis.

As the summer was about to pass, they traveled all over the thirteen counties in Sili, Yanzhou, and visited sixteen families, big and small.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 started, and Liu Xie's classmates increased to more than forty people, all of whom were friends brought back from the various counties during this inspection.Compared with those old foxes with their own ghosts, these talents are more likely to become his right-hand man in the future.
