Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-]

Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, the kind of Amitabha Buddha.Don't kill Xiao Chongchong, it's life if you don't like people; don't spoil the hippopotamus, put it in the pond, it's pitiful; don't kill chickens at home, feed them outside the door kill...

Blessed are the small animals that grow in the palace. A large group of sparrows know that various nutritious meals are supplied here on time and in a fixed amount. The ground was covered with bird droppings, but there were still a few sparrows that were full of food and whimpered and swayed. The needle-nosed and Wangcai stared at the sparrow ruffian with oily brain, fat intestines and bloated body, trying to suppress the urge to pounce on it. The time I was taught a lesson because of being Ying's face is unforgettable.

I have no objection to the opening of the Shantang, but this year's harvest, not to mention the surrounding areas of the capital, the people of the Tang Dynasty who live and work in peace and contentment, no one has the hobby of fleeing, so they have to vent their suppressed kindness on these little lives of flowers and plants, even the moving ants Becoming arrogant, especially the one with wings that flies around and climbs on the wood, then throws away the wings and gnaws inward all the way, which makes people feel deeply painful.

"Take care, it's not a bad thing to be kind, but there should be a target. If you don't kill this, don't kill that. It's beautiful to wait for termites to overwhelm the house and our family to sleep on the street." In this era, there is a lot of construction, large-scale clustered wooden buildings The appetite for termites and the warm climate made the affluent city of Chang'an a breeding ground for termites.Every year after the wheat harvest, these little thieves grow wings one by one and fly down to thousands of households to plunder.But this year is different, these miscellaneous insects are making too much noise, the number has increased sharply, and countless houses have been knocked down.

"Oh?" Ying looked at me innocently, "What's wrong?"

"Oh fart, I met you early in the morning, it's great!" The pregnant brain was not working well, and she reached out her hand to give Ying a shudder on the forehead.

"People come to catch them every year. What's the matter with the concubine?" Ying pouted with a look of grievance, "The bugs and ants are also to blame, and it's not the concubine who brought it."

catch?In previous years, it was still a little effective, but this year it would be strange if such a quantity could be caught.Yesterday, the agronomy department complained that every season, insects and bugs would bite the wood and the books.Chang Gui is currently in charge of several major projects in the agronomy, and his status is quite high. Speaking of which, he is already the third person besides Lao Liu and me. As a school clerk, due to the rampage of termites, several volumes of precious bamboo slips were eaten away. Accidents lead to dereliction of duty for no reason.Not only did he check and write tens of thousands of words, but he was also punished by withholding quarterly bonuses as a warning to others.

Chang Gui's inspection was profound, his introspection was in place, every sentence was bloody and tearful, every word was shocking, a rare good article.It was just reading it as an article, he was wronged in his heart, and Liu Rengui and I also felt that he was wronged.But where the responsibility lies, there is no punishment and no compliance with the regulations. Suddenly, Huang Gai beat Zhou Yu, and both sides were troubled.

The house can be rebuilt if it falls down, but who can rewrite the important documents left by the ancestors after being gnawed?That's all for previous years.Chang'an termites caused a disaster this year, and Changgui should not be blamed.Because of the sharp rise in the price of tung oil, wealthy households have painted their wooden utensils, hoping to reduce losses, but with little success.Especially when God doesn't cooperate.After a few rainy days, the termites made more noise. The famous Guangqing Terrace (or Guangqing Building) by the Qujiang River collapsed in half due to the breakage of the beams caused by ants. shock.

It's just an ant disaster in itself, and the imperial court took the lead in mobilizing the people to suppress the past, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.But these days, the backwardness of natural science has induced an alternative way of thinking that is puzzling, and there are different views on such events.identified as a natural disaster.

Natural disasters are natural punishments. God is dissatisfied because of unknown reasons, so he sends down various signs to warn or punish. Such a big responsibility is not something ordinary people can afford. Today, today is a virtuous and true monarch who is brave enough to take responsibility. He shoulders it alone. At the same time as the edict was issued, he also ordered to stop the construction of various civil engineering projects in the royal land, and made a profound review of his previous increasingly luxurious life.

"It's none of your business." The emperor really worked hard in this era.If there is a drought, you have to review it, and if you have a flood, you have to review it.When there is no money, you have to review your government affairs. When you have money, you just want to build a few palaces for ostentation, but you have to review the extravagance. Although you have never met this young monarch, you can’t complain about him. . "Catch bugs. Guangqing Tower collapsed and built a new one. It has been exposed to wind and sun for so many years, let alone bugs eating it. If it farts louder, it will collapse if it is not done. It is really strange that it has become Fengshui. If you want to be strong, you won’t be able to build a stone out, so why build a wooden building?”

"Nonsense!" Lan Ling stretched out his hand and pushed me, motioning for me to stop quickly. "It's chaotic, so don't get involved in it."

"Look, it's just the two of us, why are you nervous?" Looking left and right, he said nonchalantly, "I complained for the emperor, and I didn't involve any treason, so I should be rewarded."

"Bastard, you're making a lot of noise. It's good not to arrest you and punish you. Who has the time to reward you?" Lan Ling raised his chin and waved his hand impatiently, "Don't talk about this, it's annoying."

"bother?"

"Of course it's annoying. Don't say so many strange things, now someone has even carried out Luoyang, and the purple air will move eastward. If you choose a day to move, you can keep the Tang Dynasty forever." Lan Ling was a little helpless, with a strange expression.I felt that she wanted to laugh, but it would be outrageous to laugh on such a serious topic. As a member of the royal family, she had to maintain the dignity of the Li family.

Ignorance, feudal superstition again.All day long, he broke feudal superstitions in a dignified manner, and talked about his strange power and chaos, but when things involved his own family, he would inevitably be suspicious, and he could even say the words of investing heavily in Dongdu, which would bring disaster to the country and the people.According to the scale of construction of the capital city, it is a good thing to expand and improve step by step when financial resources permit, but the Great Leap Forward model of one brain will expand a country in a few years, and it will be purely enough to support the land and exhaust the people.

A few days ago, I saw the housekeeper lead people to use lime mixed with pepper powder to irrigate the places with ant holes, and they said that the effect is remarkable.I watched it interestingly, and I couldn't help thinking about picking bugs for the chickens raised at home under the street lamp when I was a child, and I was very interested.Ants are insects, surely termites are too?It's just a try, let's get over the energy of playing first.

very simple.Wherever termites are found, close the windows and doors in the house, place a bright gauze lantern in the room, and place a basin of water underneath.Pour some kerosene into it to let the oil spread out a thin layer of oil film on the water surface to better reflect light. After a night, there are all kinds of small insects floating in the water basin, not to mention termites, mosquitoes and flies. Dead light.

It worked, and now the Wang family got the trick, not only in the house, but also in the yard where there are wooden buildings, all follow this method.In particular, Steward Qian has the ability to infer other things from one instance. He thought the garden was too big and wasted light, so he dug a few big pits, soaked fresh pine boards in water and threw them into the pits. In two or three days, a board was full of densely packed termites. , Put it on the fire and burn it completely.

It is not as terrible as imagined, and eradication will definitely not work, but as long as it is done properly.Effective restraint can still be done. It is better to issue a national mobilization order than to issue an edict to commit crimes. There are many ways to adapt to local conditions, so as not to cause termites to be disliked. Luoyang or something.If things go on like this, I don't think it will be enough to build another ten capitals.

"Oh?" Lan Ling's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "So your house is free of termites now?"

"Yes, who can live without a few termites? It's just that they can't do any harm. This thing can't be eradicated. Once the climate and environment are right, it will multiply in large numbers. It's right to spend more time and effort to catch and prevent it. I don't believe in moving it. If we come to Luoyang, there will be no ant infestation?"

"What's the use of talking to me?" Lan Ling shook his head feebly, "What do you have to give..."

"What am I giving? You're hesitating, choking on a date pit?"

Lan Ling chuckled, "I mean, you have to tell the Ministry of Industry whether it should be prevented or not. I don't care."

"The Ministry of Industry has the final say?" It's all nonsense, the local officials committed such a serious crime and just pleaded guilty.But there was no plan to take measures to remedy the situation, and never received a notice to cooperate with the government to vigorously exterminate termites. "It's a mess, it needs to be dealt with, and it has to be dealt with. God is unreliable. It's not right to accept fate."

Lan Ling raised his head and looked at me, "Let's talk at home, let's talk outside."

Of course I understood what Lan Ling meant, she was afraid that I would cause trouble.There has long been a saying that man is stronger than heaven.But such a radical argument is not advocated now.Many unexplainable things appeared inexplicably, so I used inexplicable words to prevaricate.It's as if the world is punished by the sky, and the world has to stand next to it, bear it silently, neither resist nor allow resistance.

I am not a troublemaker, I have never received the education of being brave to cause trouble since I was a child; but I have an advantage, not making trouble myself does not mean that I will not poke others into trouble, there are always some people who think they are smart are born to feel uncomfortable Faults, which cannot be corrected, are still regarded as advantages, and Liu Rengui is a typical example.

Chang Gui is very miserable. He has been unsatisfactory recently. It is a trivial matter to deduct the quarterly bonus, but a lot of inspections and punishments have added disgrace to his brilliant achievements in agriculture. The crime of dereliction of duty can be big or small, and people eat flies Just as annoying.Everything seems to become imperfect, always frowning.

This incident reminded Comrade Chang that it doesn’t matter if others guard against it or not, but the data storage department can’t stand idly by, and even the several experimental fields outside the agronomy are lax, and they drilled into the reference room and tried every means to fight against termites.Liu Rengui couldn't bear to see it. The talented person in his college made a fuss about a bastard and delayed the serious business. He even punished the morale of the staff for no reason. In private, he tactfully suggested that Chang Gui's responsibility should be reduced , it is better for the two leaders to take part, so that Chang Gui can balance his mind.

I don't care, I immediately handed in a vernacular inspection, we are good at this, old business.Chang Gui was a little flattered, not to mention anything else, just being able to have someone with such high status as the school supervisor and young supervisor to accompany him to share the responsibility, the punishment would simply become an honor, the gloom would be swept away, and everyone would be moth-eaten. The accident of the precious classics is said to be a show of force, as if the main responsibility of the school secretary is to destroy all the materials in his custody.

That's not right, the ending is a bit dumbfounding. Liu Rengui always gets a little angry when he sees groups of termites flying around. More than once, he finds that Lao Liu is lighting a pile of damp wormwood under the wall outside his office to make the courtyard dense. The smoke is billowing like water.

"Does it work?" Seeing Liu Rengui order the handyman to light wet grass early in the morning, he couldn't bear the smoke, and suspected that Liu Rengui was from selling cured meat.

Lao Liu nodded, and shook his head helplessly, "Learning from the farmers, it's not really useful, but it's better than ignoring it."

"The proctor is a great talent. Admire, admire." I bowed my hands in admiration, very good, and retreated first.

The next day, I suddenly discovered that the earth recipe that Lao Liu had changed was smoked and baked with mugwort leaves. He even assigned a lot of gauze lanterns to the agronomy school, and put a ground tile basin filled with clean water under it. When he got off work in the afternoon, Lao Liu stayed in the agronomy school Lead all the handymen to manage.

The method is exactly the same as my family, not surprising.It must be that the two managers in the old Liu's house learned the method of the Wang family yesterday and went back to follow the steps. Liu Rengui didn't feel that he was shamelessly infringing on the intellectual property rights of the Wang family. The most hateful thing was that he even plagiarized the small details of pouring lamp oil.I don’t care about intellectual property rights, I’m magnanimous, I don’t pursue it; I can’t stand the eyes, the contempt and contempt when seeing me is the same as seeing a labor prisoner, except for a few days on official business, I didn’t say a word to me, as if I ruined his daughter .

I pretended not to know.Hanging gauze lanterns, digging holes to loosen pieces of wood, and even methods of pepper lime, let him toss.From time to time, I would pretend to ask for advice and ask a few words, "The superintendent is a good method! I feel that there are not many termites along the way. It works!"

"Hmph!" Liu Rengui threw off his long sleeves in disdain and passed me arrogantly, otherwise he would have started beating me a long time ago.

"The supervisor is always capable," Cheng Chu said carelessly, not seeing Lao Liu's attitude towards me.I also followed the learning experience before and after, and planned to go back and learn from the gourd.

I sneered a few times, "Let's learn from the others, he is the prime minister, and the prime minister is so poor!"

"Yes!" Cheng Chu nodded, and said proudly, "I'm a little poor, as long as I open my mouth, my brother will definitely help Mr. Liu!"

idiot.Can't hear good or bad.I despised Cheng Chu at first glance, and followed Lao Liu all the way to ask for advice humbly. It would be best for him to ignore me.

It is estimated that the experiment was successful, the number of termites in the agronomy dropped sharply, old Liu Le didn’t come to work early in the morning, and just happened to meet Chang Guiman who was singing praises everywhere, so I called the office to make a repair, so that he could remember who he was. Promoted.Only praise me.Do not praise others!

Absent from work, absent a day is a meaning.Two days is too much, and three days is unbearable.It's really outrageous for Lao Liu to miss three days of work without asking for leave!The agronomy business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's murder for me to handle so many things. He wants to wear me out?

"It's fine, you'll be tired for a few more days," Lan Ling listened to my complaint, and said with a smile: "What's the bad idea, what did you do to piss off Liu Rengui? There's no balance between the courts."

Old Liu started to play tricks in the court again. Maybe the recent rise of termite killing has drawn a remarkable conclusion.Pointing to a few diehards who called for the capital to be moved, he didn't say anything, but he also gave a book to the guy like the heavenly official who figured out that the purple air would move eastward, and became a civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty to refute the theory of heaven's punishment.Seeing that the emperor didn't make a statement, he became nervous, risking his family and life with that kind of impassioned emotion, and vowed to make all kinds of pledges that he would not return the court if he didn't cure the ant disaster.

The old guy is crazy. Although I was the one who led the way intentionally or unintentionally, I didn't expect him to tear up his face so tit for tat. He didn't understand the detours.The Holy Majesty is a kind man, even though Lao Liu was full of ridiculous words, he didn't punish him, and the local officials had to hold the guy who jumped out of the tank no matter what. The Prime Minister bears it, he is simply a living Bodhisattva.

"His Majesty agreed?" I was a little disappointed. As soon as I agreed, I shared half of Lao Liu's responsibility. No matter whether it was successful or not, I couldn't let go of the talk in the end. It was so hateful.

Lan Ling glanced at me, wrinkled his nose and said: "Answering or not is always an acquiescing meaning, you have wasted all your efforts this time," chuckled, "I didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing, let alone His Majesty did not get angry when the rebellious words of the past came out of his mouth. Only my General Wang was smitten, but... your methods are really good. I tried it here, no, it is much cleaner than before. "

"It's my way to say less, that guy Quan Liu Rengui made it up, it has nothing to do with me!" It's hateful to be angry.

The most hateful thing is that Li Yifu actually changed his attitude of being at odds with Liu Rengui this time. Seeing that the Holy Lord deliberately favored the old thief, he changed his camp halfway, and proved that the method of eliminating ants in the agronomy has achieved obvious results, and the ant disaster is not irresistible. , I don't understand how Li Mao learned the method from agronomy for ten days or so before and after.

This time, God’s punishment has turned into an ant evil, and various measures to eliminate termites have been implemented simultaneously in the local area. Not only the government has sent officials to the villagers to guide them in person, but also through relevant departments, a series of measures to eliminate termites have been forcibly extended to all continents. Said, not to mention that the old immortal Liu Rengui escaped unharmed, the four characters of "man is stronger than the sky" rewarded by the sage hung high in Lao Liu's office. Do not enter Lao Liu's office!

So bullying!I can't do this job, I can't do it, I want to ask for leave, take a long vacation!

"How do you say it?" Lao Liu was a little puzzled. I often ask for leave, but I have never had such a long vacation.

"Maternity leave, three months!"
