...Make welfare into facts!

In a blink of an eye, time passed day by day, and Wan Mingzi and the others had already left for some time. Li Shimin also passed on the edict that there would be a locust plague next year. Due to the fear of locust plague, the Chinese people were still panicked for a while. Fortunately, after the edict that the locust plague was about to occur, Li Shimin also sent the edict of what to do this year before the locust plague and what to do this year.

With the explanations of officials at all levels, the people also understood that this locust plague is actually not that terrible. It is not that the emperor’s failure to be virtuous and that it is the will of heaven and man. It is a test given to the people of the Tang Dynasty by God. As long as this locust plague is overcome, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will flourish and everyone’s life will get better and better. If they cannot pass this test, it will be a tragedy that repeats the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Tang Dynasty was established for a few years, and the Sui Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, and the chaotic situation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Sui Dynasty, basically everyone knew about it. I heard that this locust plague would cause such great consequences after it could not be overcome, and everyone became nervous. Fortunately, I knew in advance that the locust plague would occur next year, and there was still one year to prepare. Otherwise, I would probably be caught off guard by the locust plague.

Since there is a year to prepare, what else can I be afraid of? Locust plagues? Isn’t it just a farmer? This year, I’ll save more. When locusts come next year, everyone will eat them and will not starve to death. Besides, hasn’t the emperor asked for a new plow from heaven? It is said that the new plow is not twice as good as the original plow, which is labor-saving and efficient. The emperor agreed that as long as he has the ability to reclaim a lot of fields, he also provides fertilizers needed for the fields. There are more fields, agricultural tools and fertilizers. If there are less food, he will be sorry for himself. After all, the less food is planted, the hunger is the one who goes by. So all the farmers are full of energy and quietly wait for the arrival of farming time.

Not to mention the strong laborers, women who weave cloth at home have temporarily put down their weaving shuttles. Weaving cloth can be done at any time, but now it is more important to raise chickens! Didn’t you listen to the imperial edict? Raising chickens can let chickens eat the locusts after the locust plague comes, and then they can eliminate the locusts and raise chickens without food. It’s a matter of killing two birds with one stone. But then again, every family raises chickens, and the price of eggs and chickens will not be high next year. But what does this matter? No matter how people will not starve to death, eating a few eggs on this day is still nutritious. In the past, you had to wait for the New Year to eat an egg next year, but next year you might have to eat eggs and eat oil all over your mouth.

In addition to women, there is another type of people who are the busiest. This type of people is carpenters. Since Li Shimin sent out the drawings of the curved plow, all the craftsmen who are good at carpenter work have been gathered together by the government. If you don’t let you do anything else, just make the curved plow. At least before the spring plow, you have to drive out all the curved plows. The craftsmen work three shifts a day, and the finished curved plows have been piled up like mountains. They are waiting for the farmers to come and buy them.

Compared with the people who are active, the Tianxian Palace can be said to be dyingly silent. Three groups of people have passed back and forth, and the original more than 2,000 Taoist priests have also dropped to 1,000. A few days ago, Sun Simiao temporarily put aside the compilation of Taoist Chinese Medicine and took Taoist priests from the medical field to collect herbs, saying that it was a locust plague next year, and enough medicinal materials should be collected this year, otherwise when the locusts arrive next year, they will eat all the medicinal materials. Then there will be no place to cry. This will result in a large number of people missing.

However, Huang Junming agreed with Sun Simiao's reason. After all, Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese herbal medicines, and Chinese medicine emphasize wild medicinal materials. What are wild medicinal materials? Apart from wild animal medicinal materials, the rest of these plants also account for a huge proportion of traditional Chinese medicine. How many people will be affected by the locusts next year will be affected by the disaster Huang Junming does not know. After all, in Huang Junming's view, after more than 1,400 years, the locust plague that can still be raised in modern times is definitely a small matter. Everything must be planned in advance, and if the matter comes, it will be decided before it can be solved. The daylily will be cold.

Huang Junming has not been idle recently. Every pilgrim who came to burn incense has received a small gift from the Tianxian Palace, either, or just a small mirror the size of a palm or a very ordinary glass cup. After a few agreements, the merchants will come up with the glass products of the Tianxian Palace on their behalf. In addition to the normal tax, they will leave 10% of the money sold for the merchants. The rest belongs to the Tianxian Palace. The Tianxian Palace put the money they received and the incense money they received. It opened the first bus for social welfare in a grand manner.

For nearly four months from the Chinese New Year to now, the Taoists of Tianxian Palace have helped many people with the help of grassroots officials of the Tang Dynasty. The orphanages and nursing homes that are being built around Chang'an have spent a lot of money. This Tianxian Palace is doing social welfare, but Li Shimin nodded in agreement, so local officials naturally dare not make things difficult for them, so often this orphanage and nursing home are relatively good areas in the area. It is spacious enough and life is convenient.

The design and construction of nursing homes and orphanages were specially hired by Huang Junming to deal with the locust plague next year. In order to deal with the locust plague next year, the Ministry of Works has no other tasks except the construction of cement roads and the repair of city walls, and they are all idle. I heard that Huang Junming invited someone to build an orphanage and nursing home. After discussion, several giants of the Ministry of Works decided to give Huang Junming a face. First, Huang Junming is also for the people and does good deeds. Second, Huang Junming did not ask the Ministry of Works to help for free, but he gave money. People from the Ministry of Works have long expected that the court would definitely save money this year for the sake of next year. It is a bit legitimate extravagant to go out to do good deeds, so why not do it?

However, the spring plowing is almost spring plowing, and there are not one or two orphanage nursing homes built, so there are quite a lot of workers. For this, Tianxian Palace also has a way. A Quyuan Plowing is priced at 50 cents on the market. Although it is already quite cheap, some families will have headaches because of the fifty cents. Huang Junming thought very well. Spring plowing is actually just a few weeks away. As long as someone works hard to build an orphanage nursing home in Tianxian Palace, you will be given the plow for five days! If you still have time to work after spring plowing, you can come to work, and you will have ten cents a day. This is a lot of extra money... There are three thousand words! Come on!!!
