The day passed, and in a twinkling it was spring time. Because it snowed frequently and heavily in winter, Gu Chunzhu put down the problem of abnormal weather a little. But he thought that just before and after sowing, Dazhuang sent a letter.
Gu Chunzhu read the whole letter at a glance. Her face was so black that she could drop ink. The last result she wanted to see really happened. Because Dazhuang was repeatedly stressed by Gu Chunzhu, and he also had money in his hand, and he managed to take some measures to protect his income from drought and flood, so the situation of the whole county was not bad.
However, there are a large number of locusts in Pingxiang County next to Taiping County. Fortunately, Pingxiang county magistrate is a wise man. He found solutions from books early and burned them all.
In addition, Dazhuang also mentioned that when burning locusts, Taiping county magistrate was blocked by a large number of farmers, because there are local legends that locusts are the God of agriculture. Therefore, he is very worried that 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 locusts that cannot be controlled will develop into locust disasters.
When Su Wangqin came home, he saw such a gloomy Gu Chunzhu. He is less sensitive to the climate than Gu Chunzhu, so now he can't think of the worries discussed years ago.
He doubtfully went to Gu Chunzhu's side, no matter what, he was ready to coax Gu Chunzhu to be happy first. But as soon as he put his hand on Gu Chunzhu, Gu Chunzhu turned his head and said seriously, "worry has come true. There are large-scale locusts in Pingxiang next door to Taiping, and there is a great possibility of drought this spring."
Su Wangqin knew what it was. He put down his arms in silence and lowered his head to wonder what he was thinking. Finally, he looked up and said, "I will send someone to inform Xiao Cheng immediately, and by the way, I will investigate the specific situation, so as to persuade the court to solve the problem as soon as possible."
"Then I can go to Jinhan first." Gu Chunzhu immediately added that Su Wangqin nodded.
Then, the three started one after another. Xiao Cheng was in charge of collecting information from all over the city. Su Wangqin went to investigate the situation of the river around the capital and asked the old farmer about it.
Su Wangqin was the first to finish the investigation. The water around the capital is indeed less than that in previous years, and the experienced old peasants have begun to worry about it. They all said that if it doesn't rain next month, the capital will be absolutely dry and there will be no harvest this year.
After a while, Jinhan wrote back, and even though he was very restrained, he could read his anger and anger between the lines. Because there are also small-scale locusts under his administration, but the following are not reported. But he found someone to deal with it immediately after he knew it, and also persuaded the group to dig a pit to store water.
Finally, Jinhan asked Gu Chunzhu if he wanted to report, when he would report and so on.
Soon, Xiaocheng also received the reply from the following people. There have been many large-scale outbreaks of locusts. The places collected by the servants are Changping, Tangshan, Wangdu, leting and Pingxiang.
Most importantly, apart from Pingxiang, a county close to Taiping County, which controls locusts, there is no other place that controls locusts, and none of them has been reported to the emperor. But it's not that they don't report, but they can't report to the court, such as Changping. Changping county magistrate found out the situation early, and he was dealing with the fruitless consequences, but he was detained.
Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin are silent for a long time after hearing Xiaocheng's words. Gu Chunzhu thought of it and suddenly sneered. He said sarcastically, "it's just the same with a vegetarian meal."
"The emperor's body is not as good as it is every day, and the prince is not very clear-minded. The people below are gradually starting to ignore things. I just don't understand. How can we all come to this juncture and try to whitewash the peace by deceiving the superior and the inferior? Don't they know the seriousness of the locust disaster Xiao Cheng went on with a sad face.
"Then we will report to the emperor first? Previously, Jinhan asked me if he wanted to report to the imperial court. I asked him to write a table about his attitude, but I don't think he would be able to reach the emperor. " Gu Chunzhu thinks about it. It's a few days since she wrote back to Jinhan. Maybe Jinhan's memorial has just left his hand.
Xiaocheng nodded. "Then I'll tell you directly at the court meeting this time. I don't believe that all the facts are in front of them and they still have to pretend not to see. "
Su Wangqin has been silent since the beginning, and after hearing Xiaocheng's words, he finally said," Xiaocheng, you'd better not hold too much expectation, don't be angry with yourself and influence the later things, and focus on disaster relief. "
Xiao Cheng sips her lips and doesn't want to believe Su Wangqin's words, but finally nods. Su Wangqin was also stubborn and unbelief when he was young. He didn't say any more. Some things still need young people to bump into the south wall to know the pain.
In the morning of the next day, after some routine reports and speeches, the emperor stood in front of the eunuch, his shrill voice echoed in the spacious hall, "if there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat!"
Xiao Cheng, in full swing, took a step aside, holding his own Memorial in both hands, bowed respectfully, "my grandson has something to play."
After a winter's training, the emperor looks a little better, and his face is a little ruddy. He lifted a little heavy eyelid, looked at Xiao Cheng, and tried to get out a middle-aged voice and said, "present the memorial. "Xiao Cheng hands the memorial to the eunuch in the first two steps, and then goes back to the eunuch, bowing his head, and continues to state in a stable tone, "my grandson went to the suburbs to play a few days ago, and found that all the nearby farmers were looking at the farmland sadly. When he was curious, his grandson went to ask about it, and they told him that there were locusts nearby, and they were almost eating up the seedlings. "
"In order to help them find solutions, my grandson went to read hundreds of books, and found some problems while finding solutions. According to historical records, locusts will basically flood as soon as they appear, which indicates the coming of drought. So my grandson asked people to check it. If there were many outbreaks of insect infestation at the same time, more details have been written in the score. Please take a good look. "
In fact, Xiaocheng's memorial not only wrote about locust disaster, but also urged Xie Kai to investigate and deal with locust disaster.
The emperor looked at the memorial with a gloomy face and directly asked several ministers to ask, "you are all my right arm. What do you think about it and how to solve it?"
Several people went out to salute each other, looked at each other while bowing, confirmed each other's thoughts with their eyes, and then the highest official, Wu adult, said grandly, "this matter is of great importance, so we should investigate it clearly and decide on the next step."
Others, like parrots, like learning to talk, echoed, "that's right, that's right."
