Chapter 196 Complaints and excitement
"Good guy, you can do it! Just for your life to be a little easier, you are really hardworking! If I hadn't known that you have no ambitions, I would have suspected that you are thinking of killing me in the future so that you can control the government!" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan and said to him speechlessly.
"You're going to do it! I'll control the government of a ghost. Is that thing tired? I'm crazy and I'll do that." Wang Xuan looked at Li Shimin with contempt and said to him.
"You! I really don't know what to say about you. How come the power that many people have been trying hard all their lives to get is so valuable in you!" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan speechlessly and said.
"Why, what you mean is that you are planning to promote me to a title. Why do you think of it now? Look at me, even my daughter is not as good as my daughter in this family. I think I am the head of the family, but just look at my wife. My daughter-in-law has a title higher than me. Even my daughter-in-law has a title higher than me. Even the baby who has not yet been born in Xin'er's belly is higher than me. Do you think this is true?" When Wang Xuan heard Li Shimin's words, he thought that Li Shimin wanted to promote him to a title. This made him excited to complain about his family status.
This made Li Shimin, who was standing beside him, and he said without even reacting, "Are you already a marquis? Why is your status in your family not as good as your daughter?"
"The marquis is nothing! Think about what you have given my daughter, it is the county lord, that is the title of the third rank, and that title is Jinyuan. My little rank, the founding county lord is nothing! But even so cute, it is also the title of our family ranked fifth in my family, and what is above? Xin'er is the first rank of princess, Lianzhi is the second rank of princess, Zheng Guanyin and Yang Yun are both county ladies, but that is also the title of the second rank. Do you think I am the lowest in this family?" After hearing Li Shimin say this, Wang Xuan quit on the spot and calculated the ranking of their titles for Li Shimin.
When Wang Xuan calculated, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Not all of them..."
"Shut up! Why can you get anything on my head? Except for Xin'er and Mengmeng, the titles and titles of theirs were not what you begged me and asked me to give them to you. Now you blame me, do you still have to behave yourself? I think you just deserve it." Li Shimin saw that Wang Xuan was blaming himself again, so he quit and scolded him at Wang Xuan.
Faced with Li Shimin's criticism, Wang Xuan thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was really the case. Now he was depressed. In the end, he cheated himself!
When Li Shimin saw Wang Xuan's disappointed look, he couldn't help laughing. Wang Xuan had no refutation at all. In the end, he could only turn grief into food and eat dumplings in big mouthfuls.
"Okay, isn't it just a title? Today, as long as you help me solve the problem of locust plague, and not let you reach Xin'er's height, then you can be on par with Lianzhi!" After laughing for a while, Li Shimin smiled and said to Wang Xuan half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"What really has this benefit? If you are on par with Lianzhi, then why is it also a title of founding Duke? Wait, what you just said was a locust plague! It's great for me to go here, Li Fu, Li Fu, die for me." Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wang Xuan first looked at Li Shimin in confusion, and then calculated what the title was like Lianzhi. Then when he realized that Li Shimin was talking about a locust plague, he stood up happily and shouted outside the lobby.
"Master, what are your instructions for calling me?" Li Fu hurried in and asked Wang Xuan with a respectful look on his face.
"Li Fu, go to the farm outside the city and drive all the ducks we raised out to me! Where did the locust plague break out from Li Lao Er?" Wang Xuan first told Li Fu to drive the ducks, but when he thought that he didn't know the direction of the locust plague broke out, he turned to look at Li Shimin and asked.
"The locust plague broke out is mainly concentrated in Henan Province and Gyeonggi Province. Although there are also other places, it is not large in scale, but it has already formed a certain scale." Li Shimin didn't understand why Wang Xuan was so excited, but he still told Wang Xuan the truth.
"I'll go, the scale of this locust plague is quite large! I may not be able to do anything else, but the appearance of the locusts in Gyeonggi Province has really helped me a lot. Li Fu hurried to the farm and organized people to drive out all the ducks in the farm for me, especially those who have just hatched for more than ten days. Whether they can raise them white and fat this time depends on the scale of the locust plague this time. Remember to ask them to bring dry food. If there are locusts here and there, let them drive the ducks. When they come back, catch more locusts, the better. This year's food is all about it." After Wang Xuan said that, regardless of the confusion of Li Shimin and the puzzled Li Fu, Li Fu, jumped up happily.
It's not that Wang Xuan was so excited. This is mainly because last winter, he was afraid that Xiao Zimeng would be cold, so he used the duck down he had someone to collect to make a down jacket for Xiao Zimeng. However, because Xiao Zimeng was still young and couldn't wear it, Li Xin and the others tried it out and found that it was very warm, and they seemed to want it.
But because there was not enough duck down, the whole winter was over and there was no enough duck down.
Of course, this is also because the technology was not up to standard at the beginning and a lot of duck down wasted.
So at the beginning of spring, Wang Xuan asked people to hatch and raise ducks in large quantities.
Originally, the ducks hatched at the beginning, so there was no problem, but there were too many hatches. When the number reached 100,000, the problem arose, that is, the ducks ate too much every day, and the grass in his fiefdom was almost chewed by the ducks. In the end, Wang Xuan had to let someone feed them with bran, but even so, the daily consumption was also a lot.
If Wang Xuan hadn't remembered that there would be a locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, he wouldn't have wanted to raise ducks.
So now that he knows that the locust plague is coming, why don’t he release the nearly 300,000 duck army in his farm immediately.
This not only eliminates the locusts, but also feeds the ducks, so how can he, Wang Xuan, be unhappy?
Of course, Wang Xuan would raise so many ducks. In addition to collecting duck down, he also provided ingredients for braised meat shops and roast duck shops.
