Great Tang's Talented Little Landlord

Thinking about the scene where there was no harvest in the fields and the people sold children and women for food, Li Qieyou shuddered.

The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty doesn't seem so beautiful.

Where will my family of four go?

In fact, it is not difficult to kill locusts. The reason why locust disasters can become disasters in ancient times is that the ancients were superstitious and called locusts heaven's punishment and did not dare to kill locusts.

In every locust plague, people are bound by superstition and dare not kill locusts. But he offered sacrifices, burned incense and worshipped by the field, and watched eagerly as large tracts of crops were devoured by locusts.

As long as we can convince the people that locusts can be killed, in fact, locust disasters will reduce production at most, and will not become a major famine disaster.

Thinking of this, Li forgot to worry and suddenly understood Li Er. Perhaps it was because Li Er took the lead in eating locusts in history that Tang officials and people dared to kill locusts, so as to eliminate locusts.

Alas, I can't wait for Li Er to kill the locusts. At that time, the food prices in Guanzhong soared. I'm afraid the four people in the family will be hungry at that time.

I'm also a pig brain. Why didn't I think of it long ago?

Li forgets to worry. In the early years of Zhenguan, the price of grain is still very high. Only 360 yuan can buy a bucket of rice. A bucket of rice is almost ten kilograms. The four members of their family can eat for four or five days.

I'm not sure when the locust plague will end. Based on the grain storage for a year, the four members of their family need to store at least 70 or 80 tons of grain to survive the locust plague in Zhenguan for two years.

In other words, at the current grain price, I also need at least 30000 copper money to reserve enough grain.

This does not include salt, meat, vegetables and so on. It is estimated that it will cost 50000 or 60000 yuan to buy enough food reserves to support the four members of their family for a year.

I knew that yesterday's 100 mu good land should not be returned to the county government. Even if it was sold at a discount, I could get 200000 yuan. How much food can I buy?

If you hoard a batch of grain and sell it after the locust plague, won't you earn more? The two million yuan owed to the county government can't be paid off every minute.

Thinking of this, Li forgot to worry and despised himself at the bottom of his heart.

In the year of great disaster, people who make a fortune by reselling grain should be struck by heaven and lightning. They can't do such things themselves.

But together with the famine, I originally planned to make wine to make money, which must not work.

People can't afford to eat. Where can they take precious food to make wine? If you do that, you will be damned.

But if you don't make wine, what should you do to make a huge sum of money of 2 million in a year?

Seeing Li forgetting worry suddenly frowned and didn't speak, Su Changqing asked with concern, "forgetting worry, what do you think?"

Li forgot his worries and smiled bitterly. He came to Su Changqing's ear and whispered to her what he had just thought.

Su Changqing couldn't help but cover his mouth and shout when he learned that there would be an outbreak of locusts soon and even a famine was coming.

"Forget your worries. You can't joke about it. Are you sure?"

Li forgot to worry and nodded sadly. He hoped it was false. Just look at the locust larvae jumping around in the fields now, you can see how terrible the locust disaster will be in a month.

"What about that?" Su Changqing nervously held Li forgetful's hand, which was cold. She shuddered when she thought of the disaster and famine scenes in later film and television works.

"I'll think about it again. There will be a way." Li forgot to worry and comforted her, but he was thinking in his heart.

Now they have only seven or eight yuan in total. How long can they support all of them to buy food? Not to mention that he has to repay that huge debt within a year.

Li forget worry began to have a headache. After several days, he was really worried for the first time. He was confused about the way ahead.

It's only 20 miles from Huxian county to Dingzhou village, but the dirt road is so dilapidated that Li forgets to worry about whether his fart stock has been cracked.

The ox cart shook on the Loess road for more than an hour and finally reached Dingzhou village at the foot of Shouyang mountain.

Dingzhou village is close to mountains and rivers and has a quiet life.

The village is backed by Shouyang mountain of Qinling Mountains, with towering green mountains dotted with clouds on the hillside, which is fascinating. The village is surrounded by farmland, emitting the fragrance of soil and a leisurely pastoral scenery.

When he arrived at Dingzhou village, Li forgot his worries. He was waiting to talk to Su Changqing, but he saw that there was a village at the entrance of the village, which had been waiting for a long time.

Although Dingzhou village is poor, it is also a big village. There are more than 100 households in the village, with one village head. The village chief, that is, the village head, is mainly responsible for maintaining the public security and order of the village.

Dingzhou village is an old man, surnamed Qian.

Li forgets to worry and decides to move back to Dingzhou village. He has already entrusted someone to bring a message to the village leader. It is clear that he will move home today, but he did not expect the village leader to meet him personally at the entrance of the village.

He quickly jumped out of the ox cart and bowed to Murakami: "Qian Murakami, thank you."

"Li Xiaolang is polite. I've been waiting for a long time. Come into the village quickly." the village is smiling and pulling Li forgetful to walk to the village with a very warm attitude.

Li forget worry was confused for a moment. He went back to his old house in the village. Why is the village so polite? Not only at the entrance of the village, but also holding himself to ask for warmth and warmth.

Many children along the road in the village also played and laughed when they saw the ox cart entering the village, but Li forgot his worries and was very comfortable, temporarily forgetting the troubles caused by the threat of locust plague.

He grew up in the countryside. Naturally, he was very familiar with the scene in front of him. He waved to the urchins in a good mood. An urchin made faces at him, but he was directly scared away by the stare of old village Zheng.

In the village, chickens crow and dogs bark.

However, Li QIAOYOU also saw that life in Dingzhou village was miserable. Most of the houses in the village were mud walled thatched houses, ventilated and dilapidated everywhere.

After a short walk, the party came to an old house.

Although it is an old house, it is a rare green brick house in the village. In Li's memory, it was renovated by Li Zhou after his rise.

The village was smiling and said, "Li Xiaolang, I heard you were going back to the village yesterday. I've asked someone to clean up your house. If you still need anything, tell me, I'll have someone send it to you."

The old house can be seen that it has been cleaned recently. At least the weeds in the courtyard have been removed and the doors and windows have been repaired.

Seeing that Murakami was so polite, Li forgot to worry more. He simply asked, "Qian Murakami, but you need my help?"

"It's okay, it's okay." the old village is smiling and waving his hand.

Make complaints about it.

After all the Li family in Huxian County moved away from Dingzhou village, the two sides should have no relationship for a long time.

His dead ghost father Li Zhou has been dead for a year and is buried in Li's ancestral grave in Dingzhou village. It is well known that he is white and has no power.

Is the old village so enthusiastic? That doesn't make sense?

Li Qieyou was wondering, but he saw that many villagers suddenly poured out of the village. There was a lot of noise, and they rushed to his old house with all kinds of things.

What are you doing? Li forgot to worry and was completely confused.
