Datang romantic little landlord

The officials in the hall held their breaths and concentrated their attention, and all bowed their bodies down.

"In today's holy dynasty, the demons are invincible, the ancients are good guards, and the locusts avoid the land. If it is possible to cultivate virtue, how can it be caused by no virtue! Now you sit and watch the seedlings, why don't you help them, because of the famine, how will you be safe? ? The Yushitai urges all places to eradicate locusts immediately, but those who resist will be killed!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Originally, there were many opponents of the extermination of locusts, saying that natural disasters could not be resisted by manpower.Some local officials even wrote a letter refusing to eradicate locusts, threatening that eradicating locusts would bring greater harm, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.

In addition, the aristocratic family took this as an opportunity to fuel the flames behind the scenes in an attempt to suppress Li Er's prestige, so the extermination of locusts could not be carried out for a long time.

Now the Taoist ancestor manifested his holiness, and once he opened his mouth, he preached the great merit of exterminating locusts.

In this way, the extermination of locusts will be a matter of course, without any obstacles.

In the Tang Dynasty, in the third month of Zhenguan, locusts were exterminated throughout the country.

It was several months earlier than the time of extermination of locusts in the original history, and the court implemented it with greater strength and determination. A catastrophe of changing children and eating them disappeared invisible.

After Shuo Wang attended the court, the story of the Daoist ancestor appearing in the Tai Chi Palace quickly spread in Chang'an City.

Because there were no less than a thousand people in the Taiji Palace at that time, and they witnessed this "miracle" with their own eyes, so everyone couldn't help but believe it.

Many ministers even recorded the conversation between Li Er and the sage Lao Tzu at that time, and the incident of Li Er and his fellow ministers eating fried locusts in the main hall of the Taiji Palace. They were engraved and printed into a book, and widely praised .

In Datang, which has a strong atmosphere of religious belief, the matter immediately spread to the whole of Datang with Chang'an City as the center.

For a time, the already prosperous Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty became even more prosperous.The people of the Tang Dynasty flocked to Taoist temples to burn incense and kowtow to Lao Tzu, the Taoist ancestor, in order to ask for the blessing of the Taoist ancestor.

Under the strong impetus of Li Er, Datang began to eradicate locusts throughout the territory.

Extinguishing locusts is actually not complicated. When a fire is lit at night, the locusts will fly to the surroundings of the fire and be burned to death, and then dig a pit to bury the locusts.Coupled with the assistance of methods such as human swatting, it is actually not too difficult to exterminate locusts.

Landlords, gentry, and village households, who had been worshiping the locust god, learned from the government and scholars and scholars that the ancestor Laozi had manifested his holiness in Chang'an Taiji Palace, and personally handed down an oral order saying that locust plagues are the enemy of heaven and earth, and exterminating locusts has great merit. Immediately changed the original fear psychology, and began to fully cooperate with the government to exterminate locusts.

This year, locusts are not disasters.

But Li Wangyou couldn't be happy right now, he was searching his brains, thinking about how to deal with Li Er.

232 big houses!

In the Liangyi Hall of the Taiji Palace, Li Wangyou was fidgeting, looking up from time to time to Li Er who was sitting on the side reviewing the memorial.

As soon as the court meeting ended, Li Wangyou wanted to sneak in among the next court officials and escape.But before he reached the gate of Taiji Palace, he was stopped by the servants in the palace and summoned by Li Er.

He knew well why Li Er summoned him, which was also the reason why he wanted to slip away.

Feeling apprehensive, he followed the servant to the Hall of Liangyi, but saw Li Erduan sitting behind a few cases reviewing the memorial, and ignored him at all.

Li Wangyou complained in his heart, isn't this f*cking psychological warfare?

He has watched a lot of movies and TV shows in later generations, which is often the case in police trials, which puts psychological pressure on the suspect and makes the suspect show his flaws.

Li Er used this method to "interrogate" him, and he underestimated Li Wangyou's psychological endurance.

Back then, he was able to change his score of 9 in mathematics to 99 and go back to fool his parents without changing his face or beating his heart.

Although he received a severe beating on the ass after being found out, it was not because he showed his flaws, but because the bastard neighbor kid next door and his classmates exposed it.

So even though Li Wangyou was nervous in his heart, he didn't show any flaws on the surface. He was calm and calm, watching Li Er pretending to be aggressive without saying a word.

In the Hall of Liangyi, it was quiet for a while, neither of them made a sound, even the servants who were waiting on the side lowered their breathing.

After a full incense stick, Li Er put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his slightly sore wrist, raised his head, and looked at Li Wangyou with a half-smile.

He waved his hand and signaled all the servants serving in the hall to retreat, then stared at Li Wangyou and said, "Ziyou, tell me, why did the emperor suddenly appear as a saint during today's grand funeral?"

Li Wangyou wasn't panicking at all at the moment, just now Li Er deliberately left him aside, and he was too fuzzy, so he came up with a fairly plausible excuse.

"Uncle, in fact, as early as three days ago, the Taoist ancestor gave me a dream, saying that he would show his holiness at the Luotian Dajiao today, and open his eyes for His Majesty."

Li Er was taken aback when he heard the words: "What? The Emperor gave you a dream?"

Li Wangyou nodded seriously: "That's right, that's the case, it's because my nephew is so sure that the Taoist ancestor will definitely appear holy at the Luo Tian Dajiao."

What he said made Li Er a little tangled, is this really the case?

Seeing that Li Er didn't speak for a long time, Li Wangyou couldn't help but chuckled in his heart.This dream excuse is poor, but it works.

Even if Li Er doubts again, can he still find Lao Tzu and confront him?Who can say that Lao Tzu didn't entrust him with dreams?

Anyway, Li Wangyou killed Daozu and gave him the excuse of dreaming, even if Li Er had doubts in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

In the end, Li Er could only accept Li Wangyou's explanation, and reluctantly believed that Daozu Laozi gave Li Wangyou a dream.

Although there are many doubts in it, such as why Daozu gave Li Wangyou a dream, how Li Wangyou believed what Lao Tzu said in the dream, etc., but these are not important.

Li Er was at least convinced that Li Wangyou had no malicious intentions, and that what he did was in Li Er's interests, so he naturally didn't bother to investigate the matter further.

After the pilgrimage to the Taiji Palace ended, the gilded bronze statue of the Taoist ancestor was directly enshrined in the Taiji Palace by Li Er, and he burned incense and prayed day and night.

Including the abbot of Xuandu Temple, Li Er gave rewards to the 58 Taoist temples in Chang'an City after the Luotian Dajiao.

Yuan Tiangang was moved forward four years by Li Er and stayed in Chang'an, and has since become Tang Taizong's think tank.

As for Li Wangyou, Li Er didn't give him any more rewards.

The main reason is that he is too young, and he has just been conferred the title of male of Kaiguo County, and then conferred the title of knighthood, which is really a bit too outrageous.

Regarding this, Li Wangyou complained endlessly in his heart.

The stingy Li Er, if he doesn't confer a knighthood, he can be rewarded with some gold, and he won't dislike having a lot of money at home.

Now his Li family is just out of poverty, not to mention comparing with those wealthy families, even ordinary merchants are much richer than him.

Even if Li Wangyou was enshrined, he had no interest in entering the imperial court. Now he is only interested in making money.

After the threat of the locust plague was eliminated, Li Wangyou began to think about his plan to make money again.

The winemaking workshop must be done, which will be an important industry for his Li family in the future.

Glass is also a very profitable industry, but unfortunately, Li Wangyou doesn't know how to make glass at all.

The glass seems to be fired from some silicon element in the sand, but he is a second-year college student studying e-commerce, so he really doesn't understand.

In fact, don't say that Li Wangyou doesn't understand, Su Changqing, a top student at the University of Pennsylvania, doesn't understand either.

The division of labor between professional disciplines in later generations is too narrow, and they are not specialized in that line of work. How many people know how to burn glass?

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to burn glass. If you can brew high-quality wine and then purify alcohol, it seems that perfume can be produced. This is also a profitable industry.
