Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times
Chapter 111
Xiao Yun took a deep breath and then slowly spit it out.
He only whispered, "I''ve been delayed for a month. I don''t know if there''s still a chance."
"Your Majesty is helpless..."
The eunuch hurriedly tried to explain something.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "it doesn''t matter. I know your Majesty''s difficulties. I can''t do some things in advance. I can only deal with them after the incident. This is also the way for you."
"Young master Xiao can understand. Naturally, it can''t be better, but is it possible to solve this matter?"
"The possibility is always there. It''s just a matter of height."
Xiao Yun sighed and asked, "what''s the situation now?"
The eunuch gritted his teeth and said, "there are many reports of Locust Outbreaks in 18 counties in North County and 13 townships in Central China. Now a large number of refugees have poured into all directions, but it may not be easy in other places."
Xiao Yun said, "is there so much? I''m afraid some areas will hide it?"
The eunuch said awkwardly, "when it comes to the assessment of officials once every three years, those people are about to be promoted. Maybe they can''t bear to see their official career ruined by these little insects."
Xiao Yun nodded.
Not angry.
Those people actually have to pay a price.
Even in the most dangerous times, you can sacrifice your life for justice.
Some people died with the people of the city.
But it is inappropriate to say that they are good people.
After all, the result of concealment is to make the disaster more uncontrollable.
What is their purpose?
In fact, I just have a fluke in my heart. I think the locust disaster is not serious. As long as I wait a little longer, the disaster will pass. Everyone will be happy at that time!
But all things in the world are less happy and more unlucky together.
Seeing that Xiao Yun had not spoken for a long time, the eunuch immediately asked, "is it still time to issue an order to let them catch locusts?"
Xiao Yun nodded, but shook his head again.
The eunuch was confused and asked anxiously, "young master Xiao, you can''t be angry at this time! Everything should focus on the overall situation!"
"Oh, I''m not angry. Now that the disaster has started, if we issue orders, first, the victims have become and need a lot of food to relieve the disaster, so the Treasury will naturally become more empty. Second, people''s minds are worried. It''s hard to believe that it''s a matter of catching locusts for food, and the news is difficult to spread. There will even be some refugees robbing the official grain team, which will make the whole situation worse."
"Well... What can I do?"
"But this is the only way now, isn''t it? If you don''t do it, you can only go into a dead end and start a vicious circle. At that time, the whole state of Qin will be empty and can only wait for foreign invasion."
"Never!"
The eunuch looked directly at Xiao Yun.
Suddenly, he found that Xiao Yun didn''t seem too nervous about it. It was like... Having a plan in mind!
He suddenly widened his eyes, and then gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, he leaned forward and was about to kneel down to Xiao Yun!
The most trusted eunuch around the emperor, although he has only the official position of five grades, he can definitely be regarded as the existence below one person and above ten thousand people!
Now I have to kneel down to Xiao Yun for the plague of locusts.
This also shows how much locust plague is in the eunuch''s heart!
Or Xiao Yun reacted quickly, directly reached out to hold him, frowned and said, "what are you doing? Depending on your age, you can be my grandfather. Can I stand this kneeling?"
"If you can save all the people from fire and water, why can''t you stand it?"
Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile, "well, stand up first. It''s not impossible, but it depends on your Majesty''s courage."
"Courage?"
Xiao Yun sighed: "in fact, sometimes, the proper use of some officials with poor reputation will have a miraculous effect!"
what do you mean?
The eunuch doesn''t understand.
Even after his majesty heard this sentence, he didn''t understand it.
I want to call Xiao Yun back who has gone home to ask him, but I don''t think it''s very interesting.
After all, Xiao Yun met him once, and then he was locked up in the palace and the prison.
I haven''t been home for so long.
It''s not easy to come out now. Why can''t Xiao Yun even give him a chance to go home and report peace.
On the way home, Badao has been watching Xiao Yun behind.
Even he knew that Xiao Yun was about to do a very important thing at this time.
A thing you can''t touch in your life.
One can be said to be a great good thing to save people from water and fire.
But can he really do it?
He also wondered.
Why is it that a man whose front foot is still in prison has his rear foot trusted by his majesty?
It''s strange!
Even incredible.
When they arrived at Xiao''s house, the people of Xiao''s family had long received the news, put on lanterns and colors, and waited for Xiao Yun''s return.
But Xiao Yun didn''t care about such ostentatious things at all.
It''s very impolite to stride over and hang everyone there.
On the way, Shangguan qinger met him and was about to speak. Xiao Yun also pulled him to Xiao Huaien''s house.
"Back?"
Xiao Huaien said such a sentence again.
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly, then sat down on the chair, stretched out his legs and feet, turned his head and asked Guan qinger, "are you ready for everything?"
Shangguan qinger glanced at Xiao Huaien and said, "the old man mobilized all his savings and bought these herbs. Young master, are these herbs really so important?"
Xiao Yun reached out and touched Guan qinger''s hair, Laughing: "I didn''t expect you to be smart enough to ask grandpa for help. These herbs may be useless, but they may be millions of lives! I don''t dare to bet. I don''t like your majesty or those high-ranking bureaucrats. I dare to bet on anything. I can''t. I''m just a mortal. Even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, I have to lose my fortune Depressurize! "
"Well said!"
Xiao Huaien laughed, but couldn''t help asking, "but what''s the use of these herbs? I was worried that you wanted to take advantage of the disaster to hoard goods and do the merchant''s act of hoarding and reselling goods, which would break your future and be pointed at the backbone and scolded."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "don''t worry about that."
Then he rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was tired, and said, "but Grandpa, you have such doubts in your heart, but you still choose to support me, which is beyond my expectation."
"The grandson at home, the only heir, has to fight even if he pays for his grandfather''s old bones."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "it''s not necessary. In case of trouble, we should focus on the family. Moreover, sometimes I can''t worry about my family or even give up some things I do, but I can''t live without a family, so when you should let go, you have to let go."
Xiao Huaien smiled and said, "it doesn''t hurt. As long as you can toss things around outside, there will be nothing at home. On the contrary, if you stop one day, there will be trouble at home."
What''s the reason?
Shangguan qinger doesn''t understand.
But Xiao Yun understood, sighed and nodded.
"Time should be a little tight. I''ll go to the backyard."
"Go ahead. Those herbs are all in the backyard. They are watched by someone. It''s indispensable."
"Yes."
How many herbs did Shangguan qinger buy?
The aroma of medicinal materials can be smelled hundreds of meters away from the yard.
Yes, the medicine doesn''t smell so bad. If you just smell it, it should be uncomfortable, but if you smell more, you can actually feel the characteristics and even smell good.
People can always ignore some unpleasant smells, which is an instinct of the body.
And people don''t just like aroma.
For example, some vegetables, parsley and celery, actually have a strange taste. Some people feel fragrant, while others feel smelly.
Of course, the most obvious is durian.
This kind of thing is engraved in the gene.
What you like is what you like, because you can''t smell the smell. There is only the aroma you like very much. People who don''t like can''t force themselves to get used to it, because the body is telling him that it''s smelly.
Yes, in fact, many things are determined by genes. It is impossible to change them through learning and practice.
Sometimes it''s like a person falls in love with another person. It''s incredible or even incomprehensible to others, but for that person, it''s just ordinary.
Xiao Yun walked into the pharmacy, looked at a wide range of medicinal materials, quickly selected several, put them together according to a certain ratio, and then grind them carefully.
Grind it into a very fine powder, then boil it in water, fry it slowly over a low fire, leave only a small mouth, boil five bowls of water into one bowl, and get out a bowl of thick soup and medicine juice.
