Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

It has to be said that what Wei Zheng said was very reasonable. Li Wenbin thought about it for a while and said he was educated.

"Thank you, Duke Wei, for your pointers, I understand now."
"The chief executive is worthy of being called a dragon and phoenix among men. He is open-minded and educated, without the arrogance of young people. This makes the old man quite admirable."
Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng chatted about business for a while, and then put the topic on the next disaster relief.

"Wei Gong, what do you think of the future of our trip to the pass?"
"The old man thought that this disaster relief would definitely make the chief executive see all kinds of things in the world, and it would be an eye-opener."
"Oh? How did you see that?"
"The chief executive has always lived in the palace and rarely goes out. He must know little about the sufferings of the people. Why don't you take this opportunity to experience more things that you couldn't experience before."
"This is not entirely true. I used to hear my father mention the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the tragedy of people changing their sons for thousands of miles. Wei Gong, please don't treat me like a flower in a greenhouse. not good."
"Hahaha, Chief Manager, you are still too young. Do you think that you have realized it after hearing it?"
Wei Zheng laughed loudly: "There are some things that you have to see and experience with your own eyes in order to understand the truth."
Li Wenbin quickly understood the meaning of Wei Zheng's words, and he felt a different world just after passing Jingzhou.

Li Wenbin once thought that what he experienced in his childhood was already a human tragedy, but compared with the victims in Yanzhou, he was already living in heaven.

According to the report of the governor of Yanzhou, there are now nearly 20 victims of disasters gathered in Yanzhou—most of these victims are old, young, women and children.

Those young and strong still had strength, so they could continue to walk, leaving only the 20 victims who were already hungry and had no strength to escape in Yanzhou waiting to die.

Each of these disaster victims is pale and emaciated, and their clothes are tattered. Even some young girls can no longer care about the shame, and only use rags to block their vital parts—after all, even surviving is a luxury. Nobody cares about that anymore.

Huang Youdao, the governor of Yanzhou, said with some shame: "Chairman, I have tried my best, but this Yanzhou is barren. Even if I disperse the state's food reserves, it is just a drop in the bucket."
Li Wenbin nodded silently: "I understand this, and I don't blame you. What about the locust plague, how did you deal with the locust plague?"
Huang Youdao said: "The plague of locusts was caused by the anger of the heavens, so the lower officials dare not deal with the disasters that fell. This would anger the locust god and bring about even greater disasters."
"What kind of locust god? That locust is a kind of insect, and it can still be associated with a god?"
Li Wenbin was a little unbelievable, but he didn't get angry because he saw Wei Zheng shaking his head slightly at him.

"Chairman, don't be angry. The locust god's legend has existed since ancient times, so it's really no wonder he and the officials in Yanzhou."
"Wei Gong, I understand, I'm not angry, but a little helpless."
"Sorrow for its misfortune, anger for its indisputability, do you understand this feeling?"
"Sad for his misfortune, angry for his indifference? The chief executive is indeed brilliant in writing, and frequently utters golden sentences. I have learned something today."
"Hehe, Duke Wei, don't say such things at this time, what do you think we should do?"
"If I follow the old man's opinion, I would order the army to join the team to cull the locust plague, so as to motivate ordinary people and tell them that the locust plague is not a disaster from heaven, and it can be dealt with."
"No, this is a bit too slow. And even if those people read it, they may not believe it."
"Then is there any other way for the chief?"
"Yes, but you may have to wrong Duke Wei a little bit. My nephew is here to make amends to Duke Wei."
Wei Zheng: "?"
……

Some gentry in Yanzhou are holding a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and the table is full of offerings such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

An old man was reciting obscure sacrificial rites, hoping that God would forgive their sins, recall those locusts, and spare the crops in the field.

At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, and the leader was a young man wearing court uniform and a golden crown on his head.

It was Li Wenbin who came, accompanied by Wei Zheng and Su Dingfang, and Li Yi took thirty inner guards scattered in the light and shade to prevent the assassin from making a sudden attack.

Unceremoniously pushing the old man aside, Li Wenbin stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "You may not know me, so let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Li Wenbin. I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and the general manager of the Guannei Road. This time, my father sent me to Yanzhou to solve the locust plague and relieve the victims."
"Before I came here, I heard that the men in Yanzhou are a group of men, but after I came here, I realized that there are all fucking cowards here, and one of them counts as one!"
"You don't even have that thing in your crotch, you don't even count as a man!"
Li Wenbin's words angered everyone at the scene - as long as they were men, no one could bear to be humiliated like this.

If it wasn't for King Qin, with so many soldiers around him, he would probably be beaten by the crowd at this time.

"Hmph, I think what this king said is a bit too much, and it hurt your self-esteem?"
"Then tell me, what are you guys doing in the face of the locust plague? Burn incense and kowtow to a wooden sign!"
"Burning incense and kowtow, can you drive away the locusts?"
"I bother!"
The old man who was reading the sacrificial oration said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, you can't talk nonsense! If you say this, you will offend the Locust God, so don't do it!"
"The locust god? I, Li Wenbin, have grown up so much. I have only heard of the Taishang Laojun and Sanqing, but I have never heard of the locust god!"
"Why, who conferred this locust god? Is there any record?"
Of course no emperor would confer gods on locusts, the old man was speechless, his old face turned purple.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a gentry shouted: "His Royal Highness, it's not that we don't want to deal with these locusts, but what can we do?"
"Don't you have hands and feet? Can't you save yourself? Go catch locusts. If you catch one more locust, there will be one less that will harm the crops. Don't you understand the truth?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, raised his arms and shouted: "It belongs to a man, follow me to catch locusts! We must not let these devils who have harmed our crops be let go!"
Seeing this, the old man became anxious and waved his arms and shouted: "You can't catch it, you can't catch it! It will anger the locust god!"
