"Dalang, why are you helping Your Majesty? Sier said excitedly.

If Sier didn’t believe it before, but now he believes it, our little master is very capable!

However, Zheng Lang was in a heavy mood. Although he was helping, it would cause controversy and was walking a tightrope. His gentle, or gentle and quiet style didn't like this feeling.

For friendship, he still made a move.

Back in the study, I picked up my pen and wrote on the paper: There is a hill at the beginning of my village, and I am heading to the stream and canal. Every summer, the plants and trees are intersecting the sky. I am happy to look up at the vast sky, and I will watch the moon rise from the east mountain, hesitate between the green sky. The clear thoughts float, as if I am taking advantage of the feathers, controlling the flying dragons and clouds, and wandering outside the four seas.

This is the first sentence, but it is not for those who are noble and noble. Don’t write it, as they will make jokes. But it is not for you to be more generous, but for the purpose of eliciting the main text.

One day, a fairy in white clothes came with a crane. I stood up and looked up and said, "Are you coming from Miaogushe Mountain?"

The question not only leads to the main text, but also becomes extremely unrestrained and full of imagination.

Say, however.

I said again, where did you come from?

The answer is, you always sleep with me, why do I look at me here?

It is this sentence that has caused a lot of rumors and is a later story. Keep writing.

I said, however, I am not happy. At the turn of July, the rice begins to smell, but the cool sun is ruthless, the scorched earth is cracked, the locusts are greedy, the bamboo leaves are almost gone, the trees are covered, the wilderness is bleak, the future is coming, and the future is coming.

I was angry and said, who is your lord like this?

My master is kind and simple, and accepts advice like a stream, which is not enough to be praised by Chinese literary and cultural heritage.

What is it?

It is not what I have realized. You came from Miaogushe Mountain. Those who should know you, please tell me to know how difficult it is!

You ordinary men, I thought that if you were to make you look like a blue hair and a snow silk, so Lao Tzu said that heaven and earth regard everything as straw dogs, why are you foolish?

I didn't dare to write this sentence too much, and it passed by. With a thought, the world has become vicissitudes of everything. You have gone from a young boy to an old man. Do you have so much spare time to deal with your affairs in the mortal world? Are you too self-indulgent? You can write more, and there will inevitably be controversy, so you dare not continue to write it. Just one sentence turned to the following.

In my mind, what was the third year of Kaiyuan? Is it a prosperous era?

Of course.

Why are the Shandong locusts?

I can't speak.

At that time, the people thought that burning incense and worshiping locusts to go away, but they could not be banned. Yao Chong then sent the censor to supervise the prefectures and counties to capture them and burn them. The people who discussed it thought that there were too many locusts that could not be eliminated, and the Emperor Ming also suspected them. Chong said that now that locusts are full of Shandong, and people from northern Henan and north of Henan were almost exiled to the end of the seedlings. How could they sit and watch the seedlings eat? The Emperor Ming followed it, Huaishen thought that there were too many locusts to kill, which was afraid of harming the harmony. Chong said that King Zhuang of Chu swallowed leeches and recovered from illness. Sun Shu killed the snake and caused blessings, but he could not bear the locusts and endured the hunger of others! How could he kill locusts cause disaster? Chong asked to take it. It was the locusts to go away!

Of course.

If you read the books in vain, you will be the right-hand man (two ancient beasts, where there are floods and disasters) and the raging season, Yujiang (the god of wind and plague) is rampant. However, when the drought is charming, there are often locusts. This is the result of the eternal age! However, there is a country called Dashi thousands of miles away in the west, and the land is in the south, with yellow sands thousands of miles away, and no grass grows, birds hide, the red mountains are scorching, and the hot air is steaming.

The charm is more prosperous and the locusts are more numerous, so why is the people safe?

I don’t know, so I ask the fairy for giving it.

It is said that the people use locusts as delicacies, and their meat is nèn and their taste is fresh. If it is fed with poultry and livestock, it is better than feeding them with rice and grain. Even if it is full of locusts, it is not enough to cause harm.

What a fairy says!

You are also foolish, and the country was established by the Tang Dynasty. Where is the Tang Dynasty? It has been changed in the Five Dynasties, and the food is still standing in the West! If you don’t respect the righteous gods, disrespect the people, but respect the charming gods, and respect the locusts, I am afraid of your country!

After speaking, I lost my words.

I also woke up. The night was white and the wind was clear. The moon was setting in the west, and the leaves were rustling. The emptied remained. It seemed that the fragrance remained. However, I was sweating in cold sweat and was at a loss.

He finished writing it in one go, but did not send it to the capital immediately, but called Xiao Bo and said to him: "Brother Xiao, go and do two things for me."

"Dalang, please give me instructions."

Zheng Lang was sixteen years old at this time, and even Lao Xiao gradually changed his name from Xiaolang to Dalang.

"You lead people to build more chicken sheds at the back, put lime in them, and then collect more small chickens from the village to raise them. The price is not a big problem."

Putting lime is a simple measure to prevent chicken plague. Receiving small chickens is not a profit, it is just a model. Otherwise, he said, if there is a disaster, please take it. What qualifications do you have to be a little scholar? You can't say it, but I can do it.

Xiao Bo didn't know his intention. His little master wanted to do it. No matter whether it was right or not, it was just a little money. The current Zheng family was not the Zheng family in the past, and the monthly income reached more than 1,000 yuan, so don't worry.

He said, "Here."

But Zheng Lang's words made him feel a little scared. Zheng Lang said: "You told the villagers that I will buy locusts. I will buy whatever they catch locusts at a price of twenty cents per pound."

"Dalang, what are you going to do?" Xiao Bo was frightened.

"It's nothing wrong to listen to me."

"No, the ladies don't agree."

Not to mention the court, no one at home would agree.

But Zheng Lang thought of a solution, called Sier and said, "Sier, go home and ask your family to do something for me."

"OK."

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, Sier hesitated.

"If you agree, I will let you have a few good sons. If you don't agree, I will not let you have a child."

What are these...

But that's the case, and it's difficult to change ideas.

"Dalang, why do you do this?"

"You will know afterwards."

Si'er returned to her parents' home reluctantly, and Si'er's family was not happy, but Si'er said aggrievedly that if she didn't agree, her son would not have sex with her in the future. The family was helpless. Originally, she was destined to be the position of a concubine in the future. Only after having a child could she have a status guaranteed in the Zheng family. For the sake of her daughter, she had to bear it. While burning incense and praying to the gods to forgive her sins, she built a chicken shed, and then released the rumor of wind to buy locusts.

This thing is very small, and it is a lot to weigh a pound of one pound. However, there are many locusts now, and it is not a problem to catch one pound of three or four pounds a day. If it is replaced by food, it is nearly a dou of food. At the beginning, no one dared to catch it, but some people were forced to kneel down and burn incense while going to the fields to catch it. Some people started and more people joined in.

These locusts were fed with small chickens. As for the things that could not be fed, they were placed on the gravel field to dry. Fortunately, the weather was dry and there was no rain. They were dried into locusts in a few days, and then they were packed with straw. These high-protein foods were later regarded as the first-class delicacies. Moreover, the little chickens and ducks kept rushing up after eating them, but countless people in the village began to accuse Sier's family.

At this time, Zheng Lang had already submitted the memorial to Zhengzhou.

The priest can also be handed over, but there are many procedures and it will take a long time to hand it over to the East Mansion. Gao Zhizhou did not dare to be careless about Zheng Lang's memorial and immediately sent it to the capital with a fast horse. But after taking a look, he chanted Amitabha in his heart, but did not dare to continue reading it and sealed it.

By the way, he wrote a memorial to ask Zheng Lang to buy locusts from Sier's parents' home and presented it to the capital.

We won’t evaluate whether it’s right or wrong. Dear guys, please consider it slowly.

Sier's family could not stand the rolling eyes of the villagers, so they ran to Zheng's family and told Zheng Lang about the situation. Zheng Lang said, "Don't worry." Then they called the stonemason in the village to come over, quietly engraved the memorial on the stone tablet, and carried it to Sier's elder brother's father and put it on the gravel field. Then they said to the onlookers: "Dear villagers, this is my instruction, please don't criticize me. It will arrive at the court soon. If I say wrong, the court will inevitably object, then I will stop. If I say right, the court will inevitably support it, then please support it, okay?" There is no need to say this, I am purchasing locusts. The fewer locusts, the less harmful your crops, but if you say this, it will not make sense. So let the big men of the court decide the right and wrong. At this time, Zheng Lang came forward, which put pressure on the villagers.

There are too many rumors, and there are all kinds of sayings about ghosts and gods. So the villagers had no choice but to accept this fact. Some thought that this was a battle between the gods, a battle between the locust gods and Wen Kuixing. I just don’t interfere. Let’s see who is powerful.

In fact, the locust plague is less harmful in Zhengzhou, and at worst it is a serious grain production reduction. However, if this move can be passed between Jingdong Road and Jianghuai, it is of great significance. Why bother fighting with locusts to eat grass? It is better to eat locusts directly.

Isn’t this move not only reduces the harm caused by locust plague, but also increases the source of food. Isn’t it great?

But thinking this way is wrong.

Fortunately, Zheng Lang did not think so. He soothed the opposition from the people in Sier village, and his own opposition came. Just three days later, Zhengjiazhuang heard about this, and several concubines called Zheng Lang over. The aunt asked in panic: "Is the Sier family a Lou?" "Auntie, is it important for the people or locusts?" Zheng Lang did not answer directly, and Yao Chong had answered for him for hundreds of years.

"That's a creature, too."

"Auntie, listen to the child's words, Buddhism also talks about killing demons and eliminating demons. The drought was severe, and the locusts were even worse. This was even more hateful than demons and ghosts. Why should we respect them?" After talking for a long time, we comforted the aunt. It was not considered comforting, but the aunt couldn't say anything. She was so angry that she didn't say anything. Then she took the second, third, fourth, and others to the temple to burn incense and fulfill their wishes.

But this memorial arrived in the capital quickly.

When a few big guys saw it, they didn't know what to do.

Several bigwigs knew about the matter of Dashi. No one heard of the people who liked to eat locusts, and they didn't know if it was. But Yao Chong knew about killing locusts. Strictly speaking, this was the first real memorial from the Zheng family, but it went one step further. As for the answer to the fairy, no one took it seriously. But he was a little stunned. Not only did he kill locusts, but he also had to eat locusts. After eating, he had to let the chickens and ducks eat them.

He also ridiculed the move of using natural disasters to put pressure on the lord, but no big boss agreed. However, it cannot be explained. It should be said that the emperor today seems to be developing in a perfect direction, and most of the ministers in the court are honest and upright people. If this happens, God will punish him, which seems unreasonable.

Several people discussed it for a while and handed it over to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was also a little confused, so he threw out the memorial in the morning court and everyone discussed it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu, who was most opposed to the prophecy, stood firmly on Zheng Lang's side again and said: "What Zheng Juzi said is, I think it is. At that time, the two plagues of drought and locusts in northern Henan and Shandong were even worse than today.

Emperor Ming first prayed to God, but it was useless. Yao Chongli dismissed the opinions of the public and killed locusts, and the ministers tried their best to oppose it. So Emperor Ming personally visited the city tower and ordered people to catch a bombed locust to eat it on the spot. I think that since Emperor Ming finished eating the locust, the prosperity of Kaiyuan really came, and the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty erupted. Please think twice."

He remembered that he had good abilities and talent. He not only remembered the incident of Yao Wuchong killing locusts, but also remembered the incident of Li Longji eating locusts, and also made this matter at the beginning of the prosperous Kaiyuan period.

After saying that, he looked at the little emperor earnestly. He said nothing, but what the Zheng family said was not, but what the little emperor said was not disappointed. The prosperous era of Kaiyuan was not something that everyone in the Song Dynasty dared to think. It was the peak era of the feudal era in China that had reached the peak of the feudal era for thousands of years.

The little emperor was excited when he heard this and said, "Come on, catch a locust for me and come in."!
