Chapter 11 The First Appearance of the Locust Plague
Feng Wu had long been accustomed to Chen Buyi's appearance, so he stood there, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "No, no."
"Then buy it casually."
Chen Buyi impatiently knocked Feng Wu away.
Seeing Feng Wu running happily towards the distance, Chen Buyi couldn't help feeling a little sad. If it weren't for life, a child as old as Feng Wu would probably still be studying cultural knowledge in a private school.
It was not long since time was gone, and Feng Wu ran back excitedly with some meat buns.
"Young master, hurry up, eat while it's hot."
The reason why Chen Buyi asked Feng Wu to buy it himself was that he hoped that the child could buy something he liked to eat.
But Feng Wu actually bought the most ordinary beef buns. The child's heart is really kind.
He grabbed two of them casually, stuffed them into his mouth, and then deliberately shouted: "Bah, I said, "Bao, Feng Wu, this is Chang'an City, so many delicious things, you actually bought such a bad beef bun for me. I'll punish you now and eat all these buns."
Feng Wu, who was a little surprised, was stunned immediately! "Young Master, are you talking about it true?"
"Nonsense, when did I not count on my words?"
"Hey, hey."
Feng Wu agreed while quickly grabbed the bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating a meal of buns, Feng Wu's interest in shopping almost disappeared.
So, what you should do now is to go back to another hall.
When the two of them returned excitedly, they saw Zhou Wen who was wandering around there when they entered the door.
"Young Master Chen, you are finally back."
Seeing him back, Zhou Wen hurriedly crossed Su to meet him.
Chen Buyi smiled slightly.
"Brother Zhou, it's a coincidence. You came in just half an hour after I left."
Zhou Wen could naturally hear the voice-over, bowed his hand repeatedly, changed his smile and said, "Mr. Chen, my young master has taken the business, and I will be specially sent to accompany you to go shopping today."
I'm going shopping again! Chen Buyi felt a little overwhelmed. Having said that, as a man, I'm afraid few people are willing to go shopping.
"Brother Zhou, I have a stomachache, I need a few days to rest."
After saying that, he rushed into the room with his stomach covered.
Zhou Wen was a little confused when he heard this. His wife often called for a stomachache and she wanted to rest for a few days. Why is Mr. Chen like a woman?
"Feng Wu, did your young master often do this before?"
"No, never, my young master was in good health before."
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Wu still didn't dare to tell the story of his young master urinating a boy.
The next morning, Niu Su brought two helpers over, one named Zhu Qiao and the other named Gao Shi. Zhu Qiao worked as an assistant in a pawn shop and settled the accounts quickly. Gao Shi studied in a private school for several months when he was a child and knew some words.
With the help of these two people, Niu Su's fish selling business was quickly straightened out.
The third party, the three of them are already very skilled in cooperation. Zhu Qiao settles the accounts, Gao Shi is responsible for talking and selling with people, while Niu Su is only responsible for catching fish and binding them, and everything is in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, Chen Buyi knew that it was time to say goodbye.
Not only did I say goodbye to Niu Su, but I also included Chang'an.
It’s time to go back to Chang County, and there is so much food waiting for me at home.
When Yao Yi heard that Chen Buyi came to say goodbye, he still felt a little surprised. In addition to the surprise, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Chen Buyi ran over from a long distance and was left by himself for several days.
Zhou Wen also asked him to get some silver and give it to Chen Buyi, which is considered a disaster.
Chen Buyi is not polite. Anyway, Yao Chong's family is not short of money. According to historical records, although this Prime Minister Yao is very talented, he is not ruthless when he put away the money.
Seeing that Shen Buyi was walking along Zhuque Street and heading straight to Mingde Gate, Feng Wu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Shouldn't he go to the West Market to buy two horses first?
Sure enough, Chen Buyi made an amazing decision and walked back to Chang County.
Feng Wu felt a chill in his heart. He went to Changxian County for more than 200 miles. When he came, he rode his horse for a day.
well.
In the past, this young master was the most difficult, and he would be tired even if he walked a few steps away, but since he urinated, he seemed to have changed a lot.
But no matter what, after all, I am just a book boy. Since the master said he would go back, then let's go.
In fact, Chen Buyi has his own ideas.
It will take three days to walk back from here. By then, some well-informed people must have received news of the locust plague, and the food will definitely rise in response.
So, he was not in a hurry to go back.
Furthermore, this heavy and difficult body bone is really too weak. Exercise more to be considered strengthening the body.
Outside Mingde Gate.
A post horse rushed to the scene.
He immediately sent an official, looking tired.
Before he arrived at the city gate, he shouted loudly.
"An urgent report, one hundred thousand is urgent."
The soldiers guarding the city heard the shouts and looked at the apricot yellow flags planted on the horse's back. This was the flag that was used to report urgently.
He hurried forward to help stop the people and let the Yima pass smoothly.
Half an hour later, an emergency report from Qiu'an County was placed on the imperial case of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji, Qinzheng Hall of Xingqing Palace.
After reading it, Li Longji put the report with a heavy expression on his face, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
It took him a long time to say to Gao Lishi who was standing by, "Go to Grand Secretary Xuan Miao Qi, Prime Minister Yao Chong will come to see me."
The skill was not big, and the two of them rushed over.
Because I walked too fast, Miao Qi's official hat was crooked and he didn't even have time to help him.
However, although Yao Chong walked fast, his steps were steady and he was quite like a general.
When the two met Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, they both knelt down and bowed.
"Okay, I'll give you a seat."
Li Longji waved his hand, and the eunuch there hurriedly brought the square stool over.
In front of the emperor, having a stool is already a great deal of face.
"The two Qing family sent an urgent report from Qiu'an County that the locusts ate dozens of crops overnight.
I'm afraid there will be a spread and disaster."
After hearing this sentence, Miao Qi and Yao Chong looked at me, and I looked at you, and their hearts were shocked at the same time.
Locust plague.
In this era, locust plagues are a disastrous disaster, which is even worse than floods and droughts.
Miao Qi pondered for a moment, stood up quickly and bowed to salute.
"Emperor, the locust is an envoy sent by God, and will never go to Qiu'an County for no reason.
It must be that Qiu'an County's unkind official officials angered God and sent an envoy to him..." Before he could finish speaking, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Longji's eyes.
"What should I do, according to my dear words?"
"I, Emperor Qi, has encountered locust plagues throughout the years, and he should carry out sacrificial rituals to move the heavens, take back the envoys, and protect the safety of the people in the area."
Obviously, this is not the answer that Li Longji expected.
Turning his face and looking at Yao Chong, “Yao Aiqing, tell me, how to deal with it.”
