Chapter 146 How dare you not flip my sign
"Really? I don't know what Mr. Liu's opinion is, why don't you listen to this palace?"
"The History of the Song Dynasty records that the peasants of the Song Dynasty looked for breeding grounds for locusts in winter. The "Comprehensive Law on Controlling Locusts" also summarizes the experience of "removing eggs according to insects" since the Song Dynasty: wherever locust eggs breed, the ground is often There are countless small holes like honeycombs, which must be dug out decisively. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people developed primitive "pesticides", such as "Bamboo Grass Juice" and "Mature Vinegar Mixture", which were specially designed to kill insect eggs. "
Shangguan smiled and listened attentively, and then asked, "How is the effect? Can the locust disaster be minimized?"
"Although this method is feasible." Liu Cheng paused for a while, then continued, "But this method of finding insect eggs is simply exhausting. Sometimes the locust plague is still surging the next year. During the Ming Dynasty, people realized the fact that farming is actually better than finding eggs to eliminate hidden dangers - that is the method of reclamation and locust removal."
"The method of reclamation and locust removal? Is it just reclamation of land?"
"Yes, because the places where locusts breed are all in the "Dried Ze" area, which must be transformed into farmland. In the process of reclamation, the eggs are killed by various methods, and locusts such as mung beans and peas are not eaten. The plants are used for famine preparation rations during locust plagues."
"That sounds like a good idea."
Shangguan smiled and nodded, "Speaking of these methods, I don't know if the emperor has tried them. If you still can't avoid the harm of locusts after trying them, it will be troublesome, don't you have to think of other methods?"
"Wei Chen felt that the emperor should not have tried it, because these methods were also told to Wei Chen when the minister went out to chat with his friends recently. I thought it would be useless, but I didn't expect to help the empress."
"Master Liu is indeed well-informed."
Shangguan smiled and closed the book in his hand, "Bengong has been looking through it for a long time, but I can't find any useful information. It is better to ask Master Liu for advice at the beginning, but it saves a lot of time."
"It's an honor for Wei Chen to be able to help the lady."
"Okay, since that's the case, I will go back first, and then tell the emperor about these measures to prevent the locust disaster. If it is really effective, the reward from Lord Liu will be indispensable."
"My humble servant thank you, Madam."
Liu Cheng bowed slightly and watched Shangguan leave with a smile.
But in fact, he didn't care about rewards at all, what he cared about was Shangguan Xiaoxiao's opinion of him.
Although Shangguan smiled and forgot the past with him, but he will never forget, all the memories are there, and he is also there.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao found a way to control the locust disaster, and he felt a lot easier.
Now I just wait, when Feng Lingzun comes to him at night, tell him these thoughts.
After the trial, if the effect is obvious, the task will be successfully completed.
[I found that every time I was in danger or needed any help, Liucheng seemed to show up on time. Is he my noble person?But every time it's him, is it because he's always by my side?When you think about it like this, it's terrifying! 】
Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly had a different idea about Liucheng.
Although he helped himself and saved himself.
But if he thought about it, he might have been by his side all day, and he would feel goosebumps all over his body.
[No, you have to keep a distance from him. 】
Over there, Liucheng was secretly happy that he could help Shangguan Xiaoxiao again and again, but here, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was trying to keep a distance between himself and Liucheng.
But, in her own words, it was also for royal face.
You can't let people spread it out, saying that the noble concubine of the harem is too close to the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and it seems that there is something wrong.
This kind of talk behind the back makes Shangguan laugh and drive mad the most.
into the night.
After Shangguan smiled and had dinner, he finished washing up and waited for Feng Lingzun to arrive.
In order to meet Feng Lingzun smoothly today, when she handed over the sign of the concubines and concubines of the harem, she especially put her sign on the top.
According to modern people, it is the convenience of performing duties, for the benefit of oneself.
Just when Shangguan Xiaoxiao was sure that Feng Lingzun would definitely come to Fuxi Palace tonight, he was told by Xiaocui that Feng Lingzun went to Concubine De's side and seemed to be staying overnight.
"What did you say? The emperor went to Concubine De's side?"
Seeing the unbelievable look on Shangguan Xiaoxiao's face, Xiao Cui just thought her master was unhappy because the emperor didn't come.
"Niangniang, don't be angry. The emperor may also be on a whim, and he shouldn't share his favor with others."
"I'm not angry."
Shangguan smiled and held his forehead, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "This scumbag, don't you see Ben Gong's brand? Ben Gong is placed at the top, the most conspicuous position, so it can be ignored?"
"Miss."
Xiaocui didn't seem to know how to comfort Shangguan with a smile, so she could only stand aside, not knowing what to do.
Shangguan smiled and saw Xiao Cui's embarrassment, raised his hand, and signaled that she could go out.
"Yes, madam, rest early."
Seeing Xiaocui turn around and leave, she closed the door for herself.
Shangguan smiled and lay down on the bed, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"I was trying to help him think of ways to deal with the locust plague, but he turned around and went into another embrace."
"What a scumbag, why do I believe his words so much?"
"Didn't I find myself guilty?"
"I'm furious."
All night, Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't sleep well.
Early the next morning, she got up with dark circles under her eyes.
This appearance made Xiao Cui startled.
"Niangniang, are you. You haven't rested, okay?"
"I'm fine, wash and change, I still have some important things to do today."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Cui didn't dare to ask any more questions, she skillfully helped Shangguan Xiaoxiao wash and clean up her makeup, and then waited for her to finish her breakfast, and watched her leave Fuxi Palace in a hurry.
"Is your empress in a hurry to go to Lingyun Palace today?"
In fact, Shangguan Xiaoxiao left Fuxi Palace and did not go to Lingyun Palace, but the Imperial Study Room.
She thought about it all night last night.
Although very angry, the dog emperor ignored her.
After all, this is the first time she has handed over her signboard so actively.
It's fine for Feng Lingzun to ignore it, but he actually wants to go to the other concubines, obviously just to scare her off.
But Shangguan Xiaoxiao has a task in hand. If you can't complete this task in time, you can't continue to open the next one, and you can't earn more points to upgrade space.
The chances of her going out of the palace are also much smaller.
In this way, it will be more than worth the loss.
Since Feng Lingzun didn't come to find him, he took the initiative to find him.
Let him solve the locust plague first.
When the time comes, you have to take care of this scumbag yourself!
