Pei Min returned to the Jiedu Mansion angrily.

Yuan Luqian had just taken a breath and had not rested for long before he saw Pei Min coming back fiercely.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Luqian asked caringly.

"I'm so angry!" Pei Min shook the sweat on his face, and threw it casually, shooting a straight line on the ground.

"It's time, two old stubborn. One said that they had exceeded their power, and the other was even more funny. They said that locusts could not be killed and that they would anger the locust god." He became more and more angry. He slapped the wooden pillar beside him and said indignantly: "If I have real power, I must remove them from office and dismiss them."

Yuan Luqian hurriedly said, "Brother Pei is careful!"

After a pause, he said: "At present, drought and locust plagues are coming, and Longyou is in misfortune. Faced with such a situation, even if the Longyou particles are not present this year, they will not be very guilty. But if they act rashly and cause greater disasters, they will not be able to do anything better."

Pei Min said angrily: "They are no longer punished. What are the people? What is the future of Longyou? Locusts are rampant, and the world is green. How many years will it take to recover? Forget it, it is meaningless to say so much now. I will convey my order immediately. Since the 19th Army envoy received the order, he immediately lit up all his troops and pursued the locusts in various states, and used to torches to eliminate the locusts. It is urgent to not disobey."

Yuan Luqian hesitated for a moment and said, "There are rumors in this world that killing locusts is not awesome, but I am afraid that the order will be conveyed and there will be a voice of resistance."

Pei Min said mercilessly: "No matter who it is, you dare to resist and expel it directly from the Longyou Army! Add this more sentence, even the locusts are not brave enough to kill them, and they still hope that they will fight for the Tang Dynasty and kill the enemy for me? Such a delicate figure, it's better not to have such a delicate person."

Yuan Luqian stopped hesitating and issued an appointment.

Pei Min also felt helpless at this moment. In the face of locust plague, the most effective way is to destroy locusts and eliminate all locusts as much as possible to prevent the terrifying situation that covers the sky and the earth.

To effectively destroy locusts, it is necessary to mobilize all the people in the prefecture.

Only when the people, the whole country and work together can they overcome the locust plague.

The Longyou Army is indeed quite large, but it is scattered in twelve states, with about 5,000 soldiers being divided into each state. Once the locust plague comes, the locusts are counted in billions.

Pei Min had never seen a locust plague in the 21st century. In most parts of China in later generations, there was no soil for locusts to breed. But he had watched a video of a real locust plague. Locusts flew over the sky, and a large area was covered with darkness, even the sun was covered. They were like warships, and no grass was left wherever they went.

About 5,000 soldiers in a state will not have any effect, but the situation will be completely different when mobilizing the people.

As long as the lethality of locusts is targeted at plants, it rarely hurts people, and the harm to people is extremely limited. Even a child can easily eliminate more than a hundred and ten people while dancing torches on both sides.

If hundreds of thousands of people in Longyou can work together, why worry about the locust plague that cannot be stopped?

However, Wu Hua and Tong Hao are cautious and stubborn, while the other is superstitious, which is really hateful.

After thinking about it, I couldn't forget this.

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Pei Min still has to try it. He immediately wrote a letter to Li Longji again, reporting his ideas, hoping that he could issue an order to mobilize the people of Longyou and participate in the locust killing and killing operations, so as to minimize the danger of locust plague.

While Pei Min's expediting was still on the road, the civil and military officials in the court had already quarreled over the locust plague and they were alive and dead.

Yao Chong, the famous prime minister who has already left the court, is expressing his views in the court at this moment.

To be fair, if Yao Chong hadn't been too extreme, Li Longji would not have withdrawn him at all. However, although Yao Chong gave Li Longji a position, he still valued him very much.

Yao Chong attended court every five days without an official position, and he would also seek his opinion on major matters.

Nowadays, droughts and locust plagues are all occurring. Compared with Song Jing, who is calm and good at managing officials, Yao Chong's talent and ability to deal with such major events have truly made Li Longji highly valued.

"Your Majesty, locusts are just a pest, and the people are foolish in their eyes regard it as a punishment from God for their punishment. Coupled with the incitement and misinterpretation of those who have ulterior motives, the people from all over the world burn incense and seeking God, and used their blind obedience to eliminate disasters and blessings to form this situation. In the face of locusts, they must not compromise, and they cannot sit and wait for death to eat the crops that the people of the Tang Dynasty have worked hard to grow." Yao Chong said firmly.

However, Yao Chong is no longer Yao Chong of the past.

Yao Chong, who was in the court in the past, was a one-man show of his own words, and he was always good at farting. His words were the same, almost as effective as the imperial edict.

But now Yao Chong is just a waste of his life, and Li Longji is qualified to express his opinions in this court.

For the civil and military officials of the court, Yao Chong's golden sign has no deterrent power.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to argue.

Lu Huaishen, who has always been Yao Chong's younger brother, was the first to stand up and oppose it, and said loudly: "Locusts are natural disasters, and how can humans eliminate them? Besides, there are too many insect killings, which will harm the harmony of the sky, and you may suffer retribution!"

Then the Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, only by cultivating virtue can we eliminate natural disasters, and it is not a rash killing. I will not hear the lessons of Liu Cong of the former Zhao Dynasty. Could it be that Mr. Yao, if I want my Tang Dynasty to repeat the mistakes of the former Zhao Dynasty?"

In the former Zhao Dynasty, Liu Cong was the monarch of the Han Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. When Liu Cong was in power, a large-scale locust plague occurred in the territory. Liu Cong ordered the removal of locusts, but the more locusts were removed, and the locust plagues could not be eliminated, spreading the entire Han and Zhao, causing great damage to the strength of the Han and Zhao state.

The court immediately had a lot of discussions, and most of the civil and military ministers in the court believed that locusts should not be hunted.

Yao Chong looked at the situation in front of him with a little sadness. If it were him in the past, would anyone in the civil and military affairs in the court dare to speak?

This down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, so it is indeed the case.

Yao Chong sighed a little discouraged.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court opposed killing locusts, Li Longji was unable to decide for a while, and after hesitation, he had to choose to discuss it again.

Back at the back hall, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to invite Yao Chong.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Li Longji, Yao Chong immediately whispered: "The Book of Songs says: 'Book of Songs, take the thief to the fire'. Emperor Guangwu of Han also issued an edict: 'Persist in accordance with the current affairs, advise the farming and mulberry trees, and thiefs to the thiefs'. It can be seen that these are enough to prove that the elimination of locusts is in accordance with the laws of heaven, and it is definitely not an unknown move. In ancient times, locust plagues occurred many times, but because of the same situation, the fields were unrequited, and the people fed each other, which was a tragic incident on earth. Your Majesty, what else is more miserable in this world than the people fed each other? Even if you cannot completely destroy the locusts, it is better than staying to form disasters!"
