Chapter 227 Hardship
(Because today's chapters are all swallowed, the author of Xianyu has made major changes. The cuties who subscribed last night should not subscribe again. The content is similar, but the things that should not appear in the work have been deleted.)
Since the people of Youdu opened up wasteland and plowed the fields in the southern border of Dazhao, the crops have always grown abundantly.

However, the weather is different every year, and the people in the southern border of Youdu have encountered a locust plague that has been rare for decades.

The locusts, passing through the border and destroying the grain, are like a strong wind passing through the border. They can wipe out a year's work of the people overnight.

This incident caused the people to mourn, and the officials from the southern border came to report urgently from eight hundred miles away. Therefore, in the early court today, some courtiers asked about Qiangli's solution to the locust plague in the southern border.

Due to the former terrain of Youdu, locust plagues of such a large scale were seldom seen. Even if locust swarms occasionally crossed the border, the disaster could be cut off within seven or eight days under human beating.

But this time the disaster was different. Even if most of the males in the southern border joined in the mobbing queue, the locusts would never end.

In addition, if the locusts are dead, if the mothers become pregnant, even if they are beaten to death, the eggs will emerge from the mothers and become adults, which will cause a new round of locust plagues, which is even more troublesome.

Qiang Li saw that none of the officials could be dealt with, so he mocked: "The local officials can't solve such a trivial matter? How about mobilizing the army and mobilizing people for eight hundred miles to discuss it in the court?"

The official responsible for reporting this matter was dissatisfied, and said: "We are stupid, if the emperor has a good recipe, please let me know."

In their eyes, even though Qiang Li had the military power in his hands, he was nothing more than a solitary villain who usurped the throne.What talent can he have for governing the country?

Little did they know that when Jiang Mubai was in power in the past, many of the methods of governing the country were ideas given to him by Qiang Li.

In the matter of being in politics for the people, Qiang Li is better than Jiang Mubai.

All the civil and military officials of the court were waiting to see his new emperor's jokes, but he said unhurriedly: "The locusts tend to the light, and they walk towards the light at night. Dig a deep hole around the crops, put dry grass, and pour oil on the fire." , Burning fire. The blackness of the night, the blazing fire, the locusts will rush towards it. At that time, it will be like a moth jumping into the fire, killing itself, and burning to death in the fire, and the eggs of the mother insects will have no way out. The next day, the people slept peacefully, all they needed to do was bury the dead locusts in the pit. The bodies of the locusts could be used as fertile nutrients for the soil, and they could cultivate crops on them in the coming year, and the harvest would be even better. The so-called plague of locusts, in the eyes of the locust, was just a gift from God It’s just a good harvest. Why are you two facing a big enemy? It’s really useless.”

His method, no one can comment on its subtlety.

The official who thought he could embarrass him felt ashamed, bowed down and said: "The emperor has a good plan, and I bow to you."

Afterwards, many courtiers who liked to flatter others opened their mouths and praised Qiang Li for a while.

Qiang Li listened to Shu Xin, and said again: "If you say that you are alone in governing the country, you are mocking the late emperor. The late emperor Jiang's Chong Ye also had great wisdom."

These words were good words, but Qiang Li's tone was eccentric.

Who doesn't know that he is waiting for others to praise him?

As a result, nearly half of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty ridiculed Jiang Mubai's mistakes and shortcomings, in order to highlight Qiang Li's talent.

"He? How can he compare with the emperor? If he has half the ability of the emperor, we won't lose our country and become inferior to others."

"Isn't it? The concubine can't hold her head up in front of the concubine of Zhaodu, and he can't hold her head up in front of the courtiers in Zhaodu with us. Isn't he the one who set the precedent for these useless days?"

"I don't know if he is dead now? If he is dead, will he have the face to face the old Emperor You?"

And so on, sarcasm and so on.

Qiang Li didn't stop them, and let them talk happily.

After the court, he said that he was tired and wanted to take a nap for a while, so he sent all the palace people to guard outside the palace.

But he locked the door, went to the bookcase and turned the mechanism, and went down the secret underground passage.

The bloody smell here is heavier than when Mrs. Kou came last time.

Qiang Li didn't light the lamp, and only lit the candle after reaching the underground palace.

On the wall of the underground temple, a disheveled man was chained to his feet, sitting there in a daze.

There was a suffocating stench coming from him.

But Qiang Li didn't dislike it, he walked to the side of the man, brushed away his messy hair, and stared into his eyes.

It was only after he brushed away the fluffy hair that he could clearly see the man's true face.

The desolate man in front of him who was tortured until he looked like a man was none other than Jiang Mubai who disappeared out of thin air that day!

His breath was already very weak, his eyelids were slightly raised, and he looked at Qiang Li from the corner of his eye, seeming to be smiling or crying.

Qiang Li smiled happily, "Dijun, did you hear that just now?"

He raised his head and pointed to the top of the basement, on which stood a loudspeaker made of pure iron.Its other end is connected to the main hall of Candle Yin Temple. (The meaning of this sentence is that when Qiang Li was in the court, the thing like a loudspeaker could amplify the sound in the court hall, which was equivalent to broadcasting live to Jiang Mubai. But whether Jiang Mubai was underground No matter how you shout, you can’t hear it from above.)
"Those ministers of yours are criticizing you, aren't they? You have failed as an emperor."

Jiang Mubai's disheveled appearance didn't look like his former high spirits at all, and he whispered to Qiang Li in a tone of almost pity: "Kill me!"

"Dijun, what did you say?" Qiang Li shook his head, and said softly 'tsk' twice: "Kill you? Why did I kill you? Don't you know how much I love you?"

He leaned in front of Jiang Mubai, lowered his voice and said: "You said it. How much do you want to find a place where no one knows, no one bothers us, and stay with me forever? Now your wish will be fulfilled for you Are you unhappy?"

Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't respond, Qiang Li tore his hair hard, and suddenly shouted at Jiang Mubai as if he lost control of his emotions: "I made you laugh! I made you laugh! Why don't you laugh!" After shouting these two sentences , but he laughed like crazy to himself.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha~~~~" He took two steps back, sizing up Jiang Mubai with joy in his eyes.It's like looking at a work of art made by myself, and I feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart, "At this moment, you finally belong to me. Really, you belong to me alone."

He walked to the table at the side, took out two hemostatic medicines of Tianxiang and earthworm from the drawer of beautiful flowers, and applied them to the wound on Jiang Mubai's body.

Jiang Mubai frowned slightly, enduring the stinging pain in the wound, "How long are you going to keep Gu in confinement?"

Qiang Li smiled, "The emperor is enjoying himself in this land, you are tired, it's time to take a rest. I will take care of the state affairs of your previous dynasty for you. You know, in terms of his ability to govern the country, you are no match for me. Youdu is in my hands, and I will take care of everything for your Jiang family. Don't worry, I will always, always, protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you."
