The fifth year of Xiping, September 1st!

Liaodong County, the prefect's office.

On this day, the main gate of the prefect's mansion was opened, and county soldiers stood along the streets.

Li Man led all the officials in the county to wear official uniforms, wear crowns, and hang seals on their waists, and stand with their hands in front of the main gate.

Li Yang climbed onto a high platform inside the Yimen Gate, looked at the scene in front of him, and murmured to himself: "It seems that a noble man is coming."

At noon.

A young eunuch pulled the duck's voice and said, "It's auspicious time."

After the eunuch said that, two angels held the imperial edict in their hands and entered from the main gate until they stopped inside the gate.

There is an incense table built in Yimen. After two angels arrived, one of the older eunuchs looked at Li Man and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "The prefect of Liaodong received the order."

Li Man heard this and knelt down on the ground, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is happy for a long time."

After Li Man finished speaking, the angel launched the imperial edict and read out loudly: "The emperor ordered the emperor to say: Li Man, the prefect of Liaodong County, is smart and has made many outstanding achievements. I feel comforted. I have a great minister to discuss the rewards and rewards of millions of dollars.

I have offered my strategy of treating locusts, which has won my heart. I have specially allowed Liaodong County to take the lead in trying out the trial. I hope you will be diligent and make new contributions.

I will inform the world and let everyone know!”

When Li Man heard this, he bowed his head solemnly again. After bowing three times, he raised his hands high and said, "Long live your life, I will thank you for your kindness."

After the angel held the imperial edict in his hand and handed it to Li Man, he suddenly changed his face and smiled flatteringly: "The Lord of the Mansion is highly trusted by His Majesty. I congratulate Lord of the Mansion."

Li Man was quite good at doing things, so he reached out to make a gesture of invitation, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Borrow the auspicious words of the angel, please let the angel go in and drink some hot soup."

When the eunuch heard this, his smile became more than three points, and he waved his hand and said, "No, no, I have to go back to the capital to report to His Majesty, so I won't stay here for a long time."

"It's good, the emperor's fate is important." As he said that, Li Man personally sent the two angels to the imperial edict outside the door.

Suddenly, the older eunuch raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with apologetically: "Look at my memory, I almost missed the matter." He pointed to the carriage in front of him and said: "This is the silver and money that Your Majesty gave to the Duke, a total of one million yuan. The Duke must collect it."

"This is natural." Li Man bowed to the direction of the capital and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's gift, I dare not refuse."

After saying that, Li Man turned around and looked at Uncle Fu behind him and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "The gifts given to the angels are ready to be loaded with a car, with twenty top-quality East Pearls, twenty top-quality wild ginseng, and fifty pieces of furs such as wolf foxes."

Li Man nodded and said to the angel, "Some little polite gifts are not respectful."

The two eunuchs who issued the order smiled like chrysanthemums, thanked him repeatedly, asked Li Man to stay and said goodbye with satisfaction.

The power of the eunuch party has been established, and Li Man has to think that he is a snake. He can distinguish between priorities and priorities. Instead of being constrained and dragged by the eunuch party, it is better to give some money to deal with it. The problems that can be solved with money are not considered a problem.

Li Man couldn't do the kind of thing that sacrificed his life for justice in order to invite the reputation of the people. He was a typical pragmatic person, and it would be better to do practical things for the people.

Hu Guang is old and Li Man cannot count on him for everything. Li Man has grown into a local boss who can stand alone. For him, there is no need to bother his teacher if he can settle things.

After sending away the angels of the orders, Li Man summoned the county officials and ordered: "Let the county officials disguise themselves as people, go to low-lying and watery places to dig out locust seeds. Three days later, they will come to the county government to receive rewards, taking forty coins per stone as an example, more labor and more rewards.

All counties, townships and pavilions in the county all informed the public about the management of locusts.

Within three days, the officials in all counties, townships and pavilions went out every day at Chen hour, gathered crowds with gongs and drums, and informed the people of the matter of curing locusts until the end of You hour."

As the saying goes: If you sharpen your guns in the face of battle, it will be easy to be hard. It is still a while before autumn harvest. When digging locust seeds at this time, it will have some effect. Even if the results are minimal, it doesn’t matter. First, it will be better than not. Second, this year’s arrangements are just a preview for the next year. First, learn from it. When you do things in the next year, you will naturally have a structure.

Although it is not much forty coins per stone, it is also a considerable extra income for ordinary people. Moreover, this matter is closely related to the harvest of their own acres. As long as they are guided, the people naturally have no reason to refuse. As long as they are allowed to benefit from it, the people will naturally respond positively.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, and saw that the Lord of the Mansion had no other instructions, they left one after another.

Li Man was in Liaodong like a local emperor, and his military and political affairs were decided in one word. All officials in the county could only obey the orders according to their words.

Three days later.

In front of the county magistrate's mansion, there were crowds of people, and carts were like dragons. Hundreds of public men disguised as common people pushed carts to the prefect's mansion to hand over the work.

The people were amazed when they saw it, and they stopped to look far away, not daring to approach.

Some people were even whispering, and the people said, "The county magistrate is the most proud of his promise. He will definitely give it to him if he says he will give it to him."

The common people nodded repeatedly and said, "Li Fujun is one of the few good officials in the world. If you are honest, the Fujun will not deceive us."

When the common people heard this, they curled their lips with disdain and said sarcastically: "Since the magistrate is kind and righteous, why don't you follow the orders of the magistrate, go to a low-lying and watery place to dig out locust seeds?"

The old face of the People B was teased turned red, and he stumbled for a long time, but finally turned into a sigh and said, "It's not that we don't believe in the palace, but the autumn harvest is coming soon, so we need to take care of the crops."

The words of the people of the people resonated with each other. The autumn harvest was about to come, and the people wanted to stay in the fields every day, as if they were not careful, the crops in the fields would disappear.

The actions of the people are often suspected of being pedantic, but they are also a group of confused people who are both respectable and lovely.

Those who are content with happiness can be the cornerstone of the court, and the people are exactly this kind of people.

Outside the prefect's mansion, the people spontaneously lined up. This scene fell into the eyes of those who were interested, and it had a unique meaning. How could ordinary people be so lawful?

After one stick of incense.

Li Man, dressed in official uniforms, led a group of county officials to appear in everyone's sight.

Li Man raised his hand and pressed down, indicating that he had something to say.

With a sound, the gong sounded.

"Silent." The man stepped forward and stopped shouting loudly.

Seeing this, the people were silent and stretched their heads and tiptoed to look at the gate of the prefect's mansion.

Li Man cleared his throat, looked around, and whispered: "The strategy of treating locusts is actually a strategy of benefiting the people. As long as everyone acts according to the instructions of the county government, the chance of locust plague can be greatly reduced. At that time, the locust plague will not be restored, and every family will have surplus food, and the common people can also avoid the pain of freezing and gully."

After a pause, Li Man raised his hand and promised: "Forty coins for one stone of locust seeds will be distributed by the local county government, and the old man will be free."

Li Man's words are like words that follow the law, which makes the people believe it without doubt. This is the benefit of prestige.

The people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, their eyes full of excitement.

The people were half-believing and half-doubting when the public was said, but the people of Liaodong believed in Li Man's words.
