Li Shimin was very angry with Li Chengqian.
The whole lot of stuff I just talked about was all in vain?
This guy still dares to make faces at himself?
Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to chase him out and beat him up.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Changsun Wuji hurried in from outside.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
"What's wrong?"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Changsun Wuji hurriedly presented the memorial in his arms to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin picked up the memorial and looked at it, and he was immediately shocked.
It clearly stated that a locust plague broke out near Chang'an City and crops were destroyed.
In ancient times, there were no various insecticides available today to kill insects.
There is no hybrid rice from Grandpa Yuan Longping to support the grain depot.
In ancient times, if a locust plague broke out, big trouble would happen.
As we all know, China has been a major agricultural country since ancient times.
Once agriculture is hit by natural disasters and the government fails to govern properly, it will lead to the demise of the dynasty.
How could Li Shimin not panic?
Li Shimin asked directly: "How is the disaster situation now? How many people are affected?"
"That's not yet known."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to seize the time to return to Chang'an."
"If you are not in Chang'an City at this time, I am afraid something will happen in the rear."
A locust plague breaks out in the country, but the emperor is not in the capital. The impact on a country is considerable.
In the Sui Dynasty not long ago, wasn't it because of the domestic famine that broke out, while Emperor Sui Yang was conquering Goguryeo that led to the outbreak of a nationwide uprising?
But now the soldiers on the frontline battlefield all know that Li Shimin is in the rear at the moment.
If Li Shimin withdraws at this time, it will inevitably have an impact on morale.
So now Li Shimin is in a bit of a dilemma.
But just when he looked embarrassed.
Li Chengqian jumped out of nowhere.
What made Li Shimin even more angry was what he said next.
"Isn't it just a plague of locusts?"
"There's nothing to worry about."
When Li Chengqian said this, he looked indifferent.
As if this matter is a trivial matter.
This made Li Shimin very angry.
"What do you know, kid?"
"Have you forgotten how the Sui Dynasty fell?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
"But this locust plague is really not a big deal."
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin and said, "Has my father forgotten that we are not engaged in the south-to-north grain transfer?"
"It's just the people around Chang'an City that are affected. It won't be a big deal. Father, there is no need to worry so much."
Although there is some truth in what Li Chengqian said.
Now that the south-to-north grain diversion is going well, Li Shimin can also take the opportunity to balance grain prices to prevent lawless people from taking the opportunity to make money.
But what's this guy's attitude?
What do you mean the people near Chang'an City are 'only' affected?
Are the people near Chang'an City not just ordinary people?
{Received anger value +199 from Li Shimin...}
The moment he heard the system prompt, Li Chengqian hurriedly avoided it.
Li Shimin's kick followed closely.
Damn it, this kid still dares to hide?
Li Shimin was angry: "Come here."
"Do you think I want to be a fool?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and quickly hid behind Changsun Wuji.
"If you hide behind him, I won't dare to hit you?"
Li Shimin strode towards Li Chengqian.
At this time, Changsun Wuji quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down first..."
"Don't stop me, I will beat this traitor to death today."
"Your Majesty, please calm down first."
"It's not good for your health to be so angry."
After Changsun Wuji stopped the angry Li Shimin, he looked at Li Chengqian.
"Qian'er, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
"Of course."
Li Chengqian pouted and said, "But you didn't give me a chance to say it."
Changsun Wuji found it funny to see him like this, so he asked: "Tell me, what solution did you come up with?"
"Now you want to hear it, I don't want to say it yet."
This kid is obviously having a bad temper.
Can Li Shimin endure it?
Of course I can't bear it.
Li Shimin strode forward: "I see that you are here to cause trouble. I have to break your legs today."
This time, Changsun Wuji did not stop Li Shimin.
Without his protective umbrella, Li Chengqian immediately became frightened.
"Hey hey hey..."
"Father, father, I am not joking with you."
Li Chengqian bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Aren't they just a few locusts? Are they a big deal to us?"
"Then tell me, why is it no longer a problem?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and threatened: "If you can't tell me one, two, three today, I will break your legs."
"Father, you must allow me to keep this matter a secret."
"I will give you an explanation no later than this afternoon. What do you think?"
Li Chengqian showed an honest smile to Li Shimin.
This smile is downright evil.
But Li Shimin also knew that as soon as this kid started laughing like this, he must have a bad idea in mind.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "I will only give you one hour. If you don't give me an explanation within one hour, I will personally beat you to thirty ring feet."
"okay."
Li Chengqian ran away quickly.
See this guy sneak away.
Li Shimin sighed: "When will this kid grow up..."
"Aren't you grown up now?"
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin.
The two old gangsters looked at each other and then laughed.
…
To be honest, the current locust plague is called a natural disaster.
But in later generations, the locust plague has been clearly controlled.
As a descendant of later generations, how could Li Chengqian not know how to control locust plagues?
He still vaguely remembered that when he was still living in that highly developed civilization era, there was a locust plague.
Our old neighbor in China, the Great White Bear, has encountered a locust plague that has not been seen in more than 30 years.
Wherever the locusts passed, no grass grew, and the affected area reached tens of thousands of hectares.
At that time, the big white bear didn't do anything about it, and could only watch the food being eaten up by these things.
But when these locusts ran rampant in the Great White Bear, they thought they were invincible.
After all, they even took care of the big white bear.
But when they came to our land, they were really educated.
Many locals became expert locust hunters on the day the locusts entered the country.
After that, fried grasshoppers, grilled grasshoppers, stir-fried grasshoppers, spicy grasshoppers, whatever was available on the market were eaten.
As the saying goes, if you eat my crops, I will eat your whole family.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Chengqian took more than a hundred soldiers from the Qianzi Battalion and ran outside Yanmen Pass to catch grasshoppers.
…
When Li Shimin learned that Li Chengqian had done such a ridiculous thing again, his beard was furious.
What is this kid doing?
Could it be that if you lead hundreds of people to catch grasshoppers, you can catch the locusts?
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt unreliable.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji was called to discuss how to deal with the disaster.
"Wuji, I really can't leave here."
"If that doesn't work, you should go back first."
"At least the disaster situation must be stabilized first. I will return after the war in the Northern Desert has stabilized."
It’s not like Changsun Wuji has never fought in a war.
Of course we know how difficult this situation is.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "In that case, I will go back first."
"If there is any further problem, I will immediately send a letter to inform Your Majesty."
"No need to inform."
"I've solved it all."
At this moment, Li Chengqian swaggered in with a plate from outside...
