This governor cannot be compared with the prince. Just now everyone saw the figure of the prince catching insects. Not only was he concentrating on it, but he was also very particular about every move.
With the figure of the person in front of me, I would be lucky to be able to do it not only in one attempt but also in a whole morning.
To take a step back, how many governors in the world are flexible?
Count on them? hehe……
Yan Jizu was shocked at first when he heard this, and then he leaned closer and asked softly: "Can it still be like this?"
He thought that if he failed once, he would be punished. It sounded like there was more to come.
The elder eunuch's next words almost made the governor's jaw drop: "His Royal Highness has given instructions to our family. You only need to catch the specified number within one stick of incense. There is no limit to the number of times. You succeeded in catching it in the morning. It doesn’t matter if you succeed in catching them in the afternoon. If you can’t catch them today, you can continue to catch them tomorrow! Your Highness has already revealed the secret of catching insects. It’s not difficult for you to catch only one dragonfly and two locusts, right?”
It was not difficult for Yan Jizu to hear the contempt in it. His expression changed again and again, but he still accepted his fate.
This is really true that the king lets the minister catch him, but the minister has no choice but to catch him!
Yesterday, the officials who were waiting outside the palace watched the Dongchang vassal's house raids and the fruitful results. Today, everyone can see the Shandong governor's insect-catching skills live. After work, after tea and dinner, you can describe it to your wife and children. That's called a Beautiful~!
Yan Jizu held the "magic weapon of the fairy world" and slung a small cloth bag on his shoulder as a bag for holding prey. This thing could not be touched by others, because if the things caught from the net bag flew away, whose fault would it be?
The governor was followed by a gong player. After getting off the platform, the square facing the outside was very large. If you were in the corner, you wouldn't be able to just shout with your voice. Besides, if there were eunuchs coming out from the palace to announce the order at the same time, What should I do if the two families get involved?
It is better to strike the gong neatly so that the little eunuch watching the incense on the table can understand immediately. As long as Yan Jizu has caught the prescribed number of insects, the little eunuch behind him will immediately beat the gong to signal that he is done, and then he can enter the palace and kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince.
The situation was compelling. Faced with the gloating looks of the officials, Yan Jizu couldn't care less about his face. It was like this anyway, so he just gave it all. If he failed today, he would have to catch him again tomorrow. That would be the real tragedy.
Yao Ji, who was sitting on a small chair enjoying the cool air in the hall, could all guess that Yan Jizu would greet everyone from him to Zhu Laoliu Stinky Tofu in his heart, but so what? You have to catch the bugs you should catch!
After a while, you idiot, you have to go to the palace and kneel down to thank me for teaching you a somatosensory game. It can not only eliminate harm for Min, but also strengthen your body, ah~ hahahaha...
"Dear dear friends, not only Shandong, but also areas in the north that suffer from insect disasters can make net bags like this to catch insects. In addition, neighboring prefectures and counties should also formulate a linkage mechanism to jointly prevent the occurrence of insect disasters. The so-called linkage mechanism means that Make plans for early warning, harvesting, and rounding up. This early warning is very simple. When the locusts come, it will be too late to scream. If any prefecture or county suffers from an insect infestation, large-scale fireworks will be lit immediately. The fireworks will soar hundreds of meters into the sky. It can be seen in the surrounding areas. It has the same function as the frontier beacon, but it is cheaper. After seeing the warning fireworks, the prefectures and counties that have not suffered from insect infestation immediately send people to verify the situation. If the situation is true, they will immediately harvest the crops. Prefectures and counties further away must send young men and women to participate in the pest control operations in prefectures hit by insect infestations. Because as long as locusts dare to come, there will be hundreds of millions of locusts, which are definitely not something that the people in a single county can contend with, and they will definitely need help from neighboring counties. , As the saying goes, if one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. Only the Ming Dynasty court and local officials, together with the people, work together to provide relief, unite as one, and cooperate with nets and flames, can we defeat these locusts that come and go freely, and prevent this pest from coming and going!"
Anyway, what I should tell you is that Yao Ji has already said it all. If the crops are still eaten up by locusts, then the local implementation is not in place.
By then, the knife will have been sharpened long ago, and the only thing left is the brain that wants to die. It is guaranteed that one slash of the knife will cut off all the wounds and make your heart feel cold, and you can also make some money by the way!
At present, there are only a few ways to resist the Zerg army. The main one is that it never rains. Once it rains, the insect eggs will begin to hatch rapidly in large numbers, and an insect plague will soon form.
If you really have to find someone to take the blame, you can only sacrifice the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but they can use eels to top the tank...
Before the ministers could discuss it, Xue Guoguan seemed to be inspired by the previous words, and he took the lead and said: "Your Highness is thoughtful and well-planned. These words are thought-provoking and make me feel a lot. I have also been troubled by the locust plague and have thought about it for a long time." , I have never thought of a countermeasure, but now that your highness has mentioned something, I can’t help but suddenly realize that your highness is really a blessing to the people of the Ming Dynasty. If such a beneficial method is announced to the world, it will definitely inspire Min Xin to defeat these pests that have been raging for many years. Giving the people of the Ming Dynasty a pure land where they can live and work in peace and contentment is truly a feat of great merit to the country!"
This method is not very thorough and appropriate, but it is simple and practical, does not consume much money and food, and can recover a lot of losses.
At this stage, the insecticide strategies that can be used in various places in the Ming Dynasty are limited to this.
But even with this method, the ministers couldn't think of it.
Li Juesi, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, was deeply disgusted by Xue Guoguan's sharp turn and was disgusted by his flattery. So he took the opportunity to speak sarcastically: "Although His Highness's strategy is exquisite, it has not been put into practice. It is difficult to verify whether it has miraculous effects." . The first assistant is loyal to Min, but he is a little too hasty. After reporting from various places to cull the locusts, it will not be too late for the first assistant to praise Min."
Although he did not defeat the prince in the debate yesterday, there is still a long way to go. The prince is sharp-tongued and may not be able to win every battle in the protracted debate. There will always be times when the horse stumbles.
Li Juesi was thinking about how to exploit the topic. Today, when he saw that Xue Guoguan saw that the prince was gaining power, he blatantly moved closer to the prince. It was an instinctive action to criticize him.
The dignified chief and assistant ministers of the cabinet, but they were servile and fawning over the Huangkou child. It was really a disgrace to him. The previous emperor was in power, and he had never been so ugly.
Xue Guoguan must be planning something else, otherwise he wouldn't be so cowardly. He is not afraid of being discovered by the prince for such despicable behavior, which is really laughable.
Xue Guoguan immediately heard the overtones of the other party, but he did not care about anything in public. Instead, he smiled and said: "So, Minister Li must have a clever plan to kill insects. You might as well tell your highness and colleagues about it. Xue Mou It’s also good to know something.”
The chief minister couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If the Qi Qing said something, he would still be a little jealous. Just because you are the minister, you want to ridicule the chief minister of the cabinet. It seems that you don't have the qualifications. The advantage of the chief minister is not so easy to take advantage of.
Li Juesi suddenly realized that there was a knife hidden in Xue Guoguan's smile, so he planned to avoid his sharp edge and took the initiative to show his kindness: "Xiaguan is a mediocre person. What he said before was meant to seek truth from facts. It was out of loyalty and from the bottom of his heart. There was absolutely no good will." In order to judge His Highness's good advice, the words I just dismissed were a bit abrupt. If I have offended the chief minister in any way, I hope Haihan will forgive me."
Without the help of his colleagues, Li Juesi, a minister, would never be able to compete with the powerful chief minister, not to mention that the other four ministers in the cabinet were all introduced by Xue Guodian. If they attack in groups, it will be very bad, so for now it is better to take a step back to gain a better understanding of the world.
The other party's show of weakness made it difficult for Xue Guoguan to continue to exert his strength, but it didn't matter. The prince could "mediate" from it. After all, the ministers wanted to be in harmony.
Of course, Yaoji could not let go of the minister who dared to question him, and said with a smile: "I thought that Li Aiqing was also sincere, so the chief minister did not need to worry about it. Li Aiqing's loyalty is a lesson, I am very relieved, and I will promote frugality in the future." , I really can’t reward my beloved with valuables. Why don’t I reward your beloved with fifty fried locusts for lunch? I must be eager to kill the insects, so I will share my worries, right?”
It seems a bit inconvenient to charge you money like this, as the charges are unknown.
But since I want to vent my anger first, let me give you an unforgettable lunch!
Remember, this meal is not only nutritious, but also completely free~!
When Li Juesi heard that he had been rewarded with "fifty fried locusts", his head suddenly got big. How the hell are you going to eat this?
If the prince was not allowed to take back his life immediately, then he would definitely eat this big bowl of locusts, so he immediately said in a casual tone: "Your Highness..."
Before the guy could go back on his word, Yaoji jumped in and finished what he wanted to say for the guy: "Okay, okay, I already know Aiqing's intention of thanking you. I guess Aiqing is in a hurry. I'm patient. Come to the court, send someone to take Li Aiqing to dinner first. You must entertain her well. Don't neglect Li Aiqing! If fifty fried locusts are not enough, fry fifty more. Remember, you must You have to pick the fat ones and the big ones to fry, otherwise Li Aiqing won’t be able to taste the deliciousness! Li Aiqing, are fifty of them enough?”
There is no need for the servants to catch them now. Last night at court, Yaoji asked the eunuch to catch hundreds of big ones with a net. If the quantity is not enough, they will be purchased immediately. If they can't be caught in the capital, then you are a bunch of trash. Get the hell out of the palace, because this dish is a perfect weapon to deal with one or more disobedient ministers today.
Whoever dares to confront me will get a big bowl of fried grasshoppers for free!
If you don't have enough to eat, you can raise your hand and we'll make sure you're full. We'll eat until you're full!
At this point, Li Juesi suddenly found that his escape route had been completely blocked by the little prince. He even had no possibility of refusing to eat. He had no way to say not to eat, he could only say whether it was enough.
Although the prince praised him with his mouth, he still resented his recent remarks in his heart, but his anger was already contained in this big bowl of fried locusts.
Xue Guoguan, who was watching the excitement on the side, almost laughed out loud. The prince's move was so cruel, it was comparable to hitting a snake seven inches, but let alone it, it was really able to relieve hatred.
