Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 31: Hidden worries
The next morning, Li Zexuan woke up from his sleep, opened the window, and found that the rain had stopped all night. After a shower of rain, the fresh breath of the soil came to his face, and he immediately felt refreshed, and he practiced on the bed with his legs crossed. After a while, Li Zexuan left the room.
In the front room, Han Lizheng and Wang Zhong have returned, and they are chatting there. Li Zexuan stepped forward to say hello to them, and then went to wash.
After eating breakfast prepared by Han Yuxi, Li Zexuan said goodbye to Han Lizheng in the courtyard:
"Uncle Han, I have been harassing for the past few days. Uncle Han should pay more attention to that business. If you have any questions, please go to Uncle Wang or go directly to Chang'an City to find me. I am waiting for your mountain fruit wine in Chang'an."
"Master, don't worry, I will take care of the mountain fruit wine. But the road is slippery after the rain, Master must be careful along the way."
"Well, it's okay." Li Zexuan looked back at Han Yuxi, who was leaning on the door frame and watching him silently. This girl found her eyes red when she saw her in the morning. Is the story told last night too sad, She cried all night? He was very reluctant to this beautiful girl, but he had to go back if he was reluctant. This is not his home.
Li Zexuan actually enjoys the quiet and elegant feeling when talking to Han Yuxi, but he doesn’t know what Han Yuxi thinks about him. Maybe he has a little bit of affection. He has a lot to say to her at the moment. , But it’s obviously not the time at this moment, a thousand words finally turned into a sigh:
"Rain, take care!"
After that, he turned and took a group of people away.
……
When he returned home, Li Zexuan was taken by his mother to "enjoy" his mother's love. He also told his mother about the purchase of mountain fruit wine. Mrs. Li didn't care much about this business, since his son She felt that she could make money, of course she would support it, and gave Li Zexuan a thousand sticks for him to use first. His father naturally let his mother talk about it.
got a thousand dollars of funding from the family's "chairman". Li Zexuan was very happy. It's good to be a rich second generation. I am optimistic about which business I can directly ask my wife for money to invest, unlike his previous life. In those traversing novels, some of the protagonists traveled to ancient times and were penniless, and had to work hard to make glass and perfume to obtain the first venture capital.
Li Zexuan said that it takes too much brain cells to get them. He doesn't want to get them for the time being. The family is already so rich and he doesn't need to make those inventions. What he has to do now is to find a way to spend money. A few days ago, the old lady was still encouraging him to be a prodigal son. There is a long way to go.
came to Xiyuan and was about to go back to the study to plan the renovation plan of the mountain fruit wine, and found that Laner was waiting for him in the side hall of Xiyuan.
"Lan'er, what's in this thing you are holding?"
Li Zexuan asked, pointing to a thicker bamboo tube in Laner's hand.
"This is Lan'er's general, Wei Qing. It's amazing, brother, let me see."
Laner handed the bamboo tube in her hand over as if offering a treasure.
Li Zexuan is puzzled, Wei Qing? What the hell? I took the bamboo tube and lifted the lid slightly. When I looked inside, I saw a cyan locust. This reminded me that the source of the conflict in the Hanjiazhuang threshing field yesterday was that the little guys were fighting grasshoppers, but Lan'er Li Zexuan couldn't help being a little funny when he named this grasshopper Wei Qing.
But seeing that the smile on Li Zexuan's face hadn't bloomed, it solidified on his face, and then his complexion changed slightly, and the look at that "Wei Qing" became a little uncertain.
Li Zexuan has not studied the history of the Tang Dynasty in detail in his previous life, but he still knows some major events that happened in the Tang Dynasty, from novels to TV dramas.
Li Zexuan remembered that in the second year of Zhenguan, an unprecedented locust plague occurred in Datang. At that time, locusts covered the sky and swept the entire Guanzhong Plain.
The locusts are overwhelming the sky, pouring down, and the land they have passed is thousands of miles away. Even the trees and weeds cannot escape the locusts, let alone the crops.
Last year, Li Ergang and Turkic Jieli signed the humiliating Weishui Alliance to fight for the respite for Datang. The people of Datang just ushered in the long-awaited peace, but they did not expect to face this ruin. How pitiful the disaster of the earth!
Li Zexuan's previous life saw it on some post bars. When the locusts came, there were rumors among the people that it was God’s punishment for Li Er’s killing of his brothers and his prisoner’s throne. Li Erbaikou could not argue. History records:
Taizong enters the garden to see the grass, sees the locusts, cuts a few and curses: "People live by the grain, and if you eat it, it is harmful to the people. The people have had it before, but when you give it to one person, you have spirits, but When it eats my heart, it is harmless to the people." He swallowed it, remonstrating from left and right, saying: "I am afraid of becoming an illness, no." Taizong said: "If you want to remove the disaster, I will bow, how can I avoid it?" Then he swallowed it.
Li Zexuan was quite shocked when he saw these things. It was not without reason that Li Er eventually became the emperor of the ages. His mind, his temperament, and his personality charm were really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Li Zexuan remembered that there were some keyboard guys who commented that Li Ertun locusts were just for a show, showing that he loves the people like his children. Li Zexuan sneered at this, and Li Er swallowed locusts regardless of the danger, regardless of the reason. The purpose is worthy of admiration. Li Zexuan asked himself if he would dare not swallow locusts.
At this time, although the Great Tang has begun to show its prosperous age, it is obviously unable to withstand this catastrophe based on the background of the Tang Dynasty. Once the locust plague comes, it will be hungry everywhere, and even the people will change their lives. Human tragedy.
So the question is, what can he do for this era before the locust plague comes? Although he hasn't been in this world for long, there are already many people who care about him and those who care about him~IndoMTL.com~ such as his relatives, such as Han Lizheng and Han Yuxi, such as the simple and lovely dealers in Hanjiazhuang. At this moment, he realized that he had fallen in love with this era and the people of Datang in this era.
"Brother, brother?"
Lan'er noticed Li Zexuan's "Wei Qing" staring at her motionlessly, and pushed his arm.
"Oh, Lan'er, you go to Xiaohe and Xiaoxi to play first. Brother has something to deal with now. Brother tells you a story tonight."
Li Zexuan was interrupted in thought by Laner, and said to Laner.
"Oh, brother must remember to tell Lan'er a story that night."
Lan'er was a little unhappy. She wanted to come over to show off her invincible general "Wei Qing" to her brother, but now that her brother seems to be doing something, she had to leave.
In the house.
Li Zexuan frowned and meditated alone. He recalled how the protagonists who traveled to Zhenguan Tang Dynasty in the novel solved the locust plague problem. He remembered that it seemed that some people took potatoes directly when they traveled through the past, and promoted potato planting in Datang, so that the people of Datang survived the locust plague. This was a good way. But he is a soul wearer, and he can't bring potatoes even with potatoes in his pocket before crossing. What can I do?
How about going directly to Li Er and letting him prepare in advance? No, first of all, he can't see Li Er now. Even if he does, he won't believe him if he tells him. Instead, he will be punished for deceiving the public. Secondly, even if Li Er believes it, in addition to hoarding food in advance, the methods he can take are extremely limited.
Li Zexuan rubbed his head in annoyance, thinking for a long time, but didn't think of a practical and good way.
Forget it, think about it slowly, anyway, it's more than a year before the locust plague.
