Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 190 Pesticide Making
According to Li Keli's order, the prefect of Chang'an Prefecture immediately sent troops to arrest people from house to house according to the names on the list.

Li Ke doesn't like to do things like killing them all, at least in the territory of Longguo.

So on his list are only the names of those who participated in the plague of locusts.

As for the family members of these people, Li Ke did not order the arrest.

Since Li Ke personally gave the order, the magistrate of Chang'an did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

So there are enough soldiers and horses sent.

When these soldiers arrived at the homes of the people on the list, they couldn't help but arrest them all.

In about an hour, the yamen of Chang'an Mansion was already filled with more than a dozen former ministers.

Some of these people are ministers of Li Er's humerus, and some are Li Er's cousins, or family members.

Everyone, headed by Changsun Wuji, stood in the lobby, and looked at Li Ke sitting above with extremely shocked eyes.

They did not expect that Li Ke would appear in Chang'an. At the same time, they all guessed that the locust plague had been revealed.

At this moment, the dozen or so former officials knelt down tremblingly.

They all know that today may be doomed.

Above, Li Ke sat there expressionless. After waiting for a while, another officer and soldier came in, and it was Du Ruhui who was detained.

Then the officer and soldier said to Li Ke:
"Your Majesty, when we went to Du Ruhui's residence, he was already gone. We hurriedly tracked him down and finally arrested him. He was fleeing into the distance with his family."

Hearing this, Li Ke showed no expression, just looked at Du Ruhui and said:
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Instead, you wanted to run away. It seems that you didn't really repent. If that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it."

Du Ruhui was smart all her life, but now she is full of regrets.

Of course, it seems too late to beg for mercy now.

Now that these people who are involved in the matter have arrived, Li Ke looks at these people with cold eyes.

Under Li Ke's gaze, these people all seemed extremely afraid.

Li Ke took a deep breath, and then said lightly:

"Why, now, are you afraid?"

No one spoke, they all lowered their heads, waiting for Li Ke's trial.

Li Ke seemed unhurried, and said again:

"I have always thought that those who fought against Li Er back then were considered virtuous ministers. But until now, I have discovered that this is not the case.

For your own benefit, for the resentment in your heart, you can do such abominable things, it is beyond my imagination.

Relatively speaking, I have been quite merciful.I wiped out Tang, but I didn't punish you ministers.

Although you no longer have the status you once had, but your money.Your property is still there.

Your lives are still much better than ordinary people, but why are you still not satisfied?
I can tolerate anything, except that I won't tolerate you doing such evil. "

After finishing speaking, Li Ke waved his hand lightly, and said lightly:
"Drag all these people out and behead them for public display!"

As soon as these words came out, the dozen or so former officials in the courtroom were all shocked.

They didn't expect that Li Ke would actually kill them like this.

Originally thought that there might be room for maneuver.

Just when they were shocked, the yamen servants stepped forward and took all these former court ministers away.

When he arrived at Caishikou outside, after explaining the reason to the common people, he was directly beheaded amidst the scolding of the common people.

In the mansion, the magistrate and other officials of the mansion looked at Li Ke in awe.

Li Ke sat in that chair in silence for a long time, and immediately recorded the pesticide formula in the system with a pen and paper, and then handed it to the magistrate and said:
"Find the best Chinese medicine practitioners, find all these medicinal materials, and prepare them according to the method above."

The magistrate didn't dare to neglect, and quickly left with the list.

After the magistrate left, Li Ke looked at Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo and said:

"Both of you have made contributions this time, and besides, no matter which dynasty or generation, a courtier who truly thinks about the common people and works for the world is the real courtier.

Therefore, I hope that you father and son can come to the court to help me.I need true humerus ministers like you. "

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, the grassroots don't know much about political affairs. If you talk about fighting, they have a little strength to serve Your Majesty."

Li Ke said with a smile: "This seems a bit modest, then Uncle Cheng was willing to come to the court to expand the territory for me?"

"Of course it is possible. To be honest, my old Cheng has not fought for some days, and it is really uncomfortable!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly as he spoke, and Li Ke also laughed. He was naturally very happy to get an old marshal like Cheng Yaojin, not to mention Cheng Chumo was also very capable.

As a peer, Li Ke really needs someone like Cheng Chumo to assist him, at least he can be trusted.

Some of the instigators of the locust plague have now been resolved.

On the second day of staying in Fuya, the magistrate couldn't wait to come to see Li Ke, saying that he had prepared a potion according to the formula given by Li Ke.

Li Ke asked them to catch locusts, dilute the potion in water, and spray it on the imperial city.

Sure enough, the locust died without struggling twice, and then sprinkled the diluted potion on some crops for the locust to eat.

After spraying the potion, the locusts, not to mention coming to eat, actually avoided the crops that had been sprayed with the potion, as if they had encountered something they were afraid of.

It's like food turned into poop.show
However, the diluted potion sprayed on those crops worked, making these locusts very afraid, so they were so afraid.

In any case, the pesticide to kill locusts has been successfully produced.

Li Ke asked them to find mice and other animals to experiment. Although these pesticides are fatal to locusts, they hardly hurt other animals.

In other words, these pesticides are basically safe for humans.

In this way, Li Ke can feel relieved, as expected of something given by the system, it is still very guaranteed.

So he ordered that these pesticides be mass-produced and used to control locusts in various places.

As long as these pesticides are deployed in large quantities so that the common people can use them, the locusts can be wiped out, and it is guaranteed that there will be no locust plagues in the future.

Li Ke no longer worried about the locust plague.

So after staying in Chang'an for a few more days, Li Ke continued to set off with Cheng Yaojin and his son towards Jingcheng.

Along the way, Li Ke told Cheng Yaojin and his son that he wanted to continue to conquer the world, conquer a bigger country, and even unify the world.

Hearing these words, the Cheng family's father and son were excited!
