Li Shi Min asked this out of selfishness. He wanted to recruit Uncle Han, but because of what happened two days ago, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Han Qiu turned to look at Li Shimin, who was wearing a brocade robe, and said with a smile,"What Tian Zi is like is not something a businessman like you should think about. A young man of your age should do what you are doing well and think less about irrelevant things.”
Li Shi Min listened to Uncle Han's words and had an epiphany.
Uncle Han was teaching him not to care about other people's opinions. The most important thing was to do what he was doing.
Li Shi Min felt enlightened!
"Thank you for your advice, Senior?"
Han Qiu was very puzzled when she heard Little Li's words. What did he teach you again? He was too good at imagining things.
A few days ago, when Han Qiu was taken away by the Chang 'an Grain Department, he had wanted to take this opportunity to find Du Ruhui and see if he still wanted him as his teacher.
However, before Han Qiu could deliver the letter, the Chang 'an Grain Department was raided and Zhangsun Qi was thrown into prison. This made Han Qiu feel that the fun in life was much less.
He was even prepared to show off outside the Chang 'an Grain Department and let the Imperial Right Prime Minister Du Ruhui come personally to receive him. How satisfying would that be? How comfortable!
That would definitely shock the surrounding crowd.
At that time, he, as Perfected Zi Yang, would have status and face.
However, the plan was not as fast as the change of plans. Han Qiu's letter had not been sent out, and the face-slapping incident outside the Chang 'an Grain Department had not happened. Du Ruhui probably did not know that his teacher had already come to Chang' an.
Although she didn't succeed in slapping her face, it didn't stop Han Qiu from imagining Du Ruhui's excitement when he found out that the Immortal Zi Yang had come to Chang 'an.
He still had to meet the cheap disciple of the Empire's Right Prime Minister, Du Ruhui, but he had to carefully consider when to meet him.
Just as Han Qiu was trying to figure out Du Ruhui, Xiao Li, who was working hard to help, asked again like a curious baby, causing Han Qiu some trouble.
This Little Li was very respectful, but he had too many questions, one after another…
"Uncle Han, Youzhou is suffering from a drought and there's a locust plague in Guanzhong. The elders say that a locust plague is inevitable in a year of drought. I'm very worried about Youzhou.”
When Han Qiu heard Little Li's question, she thought of the three ways to control locusts in the future. To control locusts, one had to first control them when they were still larvae. They could not allow the locusts to grow in size and climate. If the locusts formed a certain climate and scale, it would be difficult to control them...
Controlling locusts, putting prevention first…
Once a locust plague appeared, the best solution was to counter each other. After all, locusts were insects and were most afraid of birds. As long as there were enough beneficial birds, the scale of the locusts could be controlled...
When Han Qiu thought of this, she remembered that after the locusts formed a locust plague, they would form a poison in their bodies. Ordinary people could not eat it, but chickens, ducks, and geese had a natural immunity to this poison…
Han Qiu looked at Li Shiming and said," You're just a businessman. How can you be so concerned about the implementation of government affairs? Fine, since you want to know so much, let's talk about how to deal with drought, how to provide disaster relief, and how to prevent locust plagues…"
As soon as Han Qiu finished speaking, Li Shiming cupped his hands in gratitude as if he had found a treasure!
In Han Qiu's courtyard.
Han Qiu braised the meat while bragging to Little Li and Old Fang.
In Han Qiu's opinion, it was just a casual teasing while cooking meat, but Little Li and the old master listened seriously.
"There're many ways to relieve the disaster in Youzhou Province. Opening porridge shops is the basic method. Besides the government's relief, we should also provide relief with labor. Opening porridge shops is not a long-term solution. Commoners would slack off because of this; however, we could provide a long-term job for commoners by providing relief with labor. It could pacify the people's hearts…"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were enlightened!
Using service as a form of relief was actually a method to appease the people. Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
Ever since the great drought in Youzhou, Li Shimin had been worried about Youzhou. He couldn't sleep all day. The civil and military officials had proposed many disaster relief methods, but none of them satisfied Li Shimin.
Until today, when he heard Uncle Han's advice, he suddenly felt that the whole world was filled with sunshine.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling secretly gave him a thumbs up. This Uncle Han was truly a peerless sage. He had solved the problem of the disaster victims with just a single word!
" Locusts are bound to appear after a long drought. This is the biological habit of locusts. Droughts are suitable for locusts to grow. Locust plagues are very terrifying. Wherever they go, there will be no harvest. However, locust plagues are not impossible to prevent…"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's faces turned pale when they heard the word 'locust'.
Locusts were ten thousand times more terrifying than a drought. A drought could at least harvest some food, but a locust plague could not harvest anything. Right now, there were locusts in Guanzhong, and four or five counties had already been affected.
At this moment, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling felt that Uncle Han had a way to solve the locust plague. If Uncle Han had a way to solve the locust plague, it would be a blessing that the people of the Great Tang had accumulated over a hundred years!
"Have you ever heard of species restraining each other? "In the early stages of the locust plague, the locusts are still larvae and have poor flight ability. This is the best time to control the locust plague. By driving away chickens, ducks, geese, and other birds, they can gnaw on a large area of the locusts and stop the adult locusts…"
"Other than chickens, ducks, and geese, you can also raise birds like sparrows. These birds prefer locusts. As long as these birds form a scale here, they can suppress the locusts…If the locusts can't form a scale, there won't be a locust plague…"
Li Shi Min felt as if he was listening to a heavenly book, especially when it came to the restriction of species. It was simply unheard of!
The fragrance of meat permeated the air.
While Han Qiu and Little Li Zishan were whistling, the pork was already ready.
"Alright, the meat is out of the pot. Go to the house and get the bowls and chopsticks. I'll treat you to my exclusive secret braised meat!”
Hearing Han Qiu's words, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling also felt hungry. Smelling the fragrant pig meat, the two of them began to crave for food!
Li Shiming was very excited. He was not excited because he wanted to eat Uncle Han's secret braised meat, but because he knew the true meaning of using service as a form of relief, and the means to prevent locust plagues.
This was the Dao of Yin and Yang and the five elements complementing each other!
Li Shiming had perfected the restriction of species that Han Qiu had mentioned. At this moment, he wished he could return to the court immediately and summon all the officials to announce the locust control method that he had obtained from Uncle Han!
Now that Lantian County was in the midst of a locust plague, he could send the duck army to Lantian County to fight. He wanted to see if Uncle Han's words were true, and if the chicken, duck, and goose army could suppress the locust plague!
……
After Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling took out their bowls and chopsticks, Han Qiu scooped a large piece of pork for each of them. Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling didn't eat pork often because it had a fishy smell that was difficult to remove.
The smell of the boar was especially strong.
However, this was Uncle Han's braised meat, so it was really difficult for them to retreat.
When the two of them took a bite of the braised pork, they were instantly stunned. The pork melted in their mouths and was extremely delicious. It did not have the fishy smell of pork.
The two of them were puzzled. They even wondered if they were really eating pork.
The two of them were eating pork, but the pork they were eating this time was different from the pork they had eaten before. The pork they had eaten before was not castrated. This time, the pork they were eating was castrated, so the taste was naturally different.
Naturally, the castration method was also spread after Han Qiu came to the Han Family Residence.
After castration, pigs not only grew faster, but they also had a gentle temperament. The meat was plump and delicious, and there was no strange smell!
"Fragrant! It's a peerless delicacy!"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were eating heartily in Han Qiu's house. They did not care about the dilapidated courtyard at all. The thatched cottage was certainly not as good as the throne room in Chang 'an, but Li Shiming felt that living here was more blissful than living in the throne room!
After eating meat and drinking wine, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling saw that the sun was about to set. They bid farewell to Han Qiu and drove back to Chang 'an.
At this moment, Li Shiming had already obtained the method of disaster relief and the method to solve the locust plague from Han Qiu. He wished he could implement it now to solve the drought in Youzhou and the locust plague in Guanzhong!
On the way back to Chang 'an, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling kept marveling at Uncle Han's ability to govern the world. If they hadn't come here today to ask for advice, they would not have known how to relieve the disaster and how to deal with the locusts!
Li Shimin was even eager to go to court and announce the disaster relief plan that Han Qiu had mentioned.
However, when they returned to Chang 'an, the sky was already dark.
The court tomorrow!
Li Shi Min was eager to go to court!
The disaster relief method that Uncle Han mentioned in the court tomorrow would definitely be earth-shattering!
