Your Majesty, I wonder when I will be sent as an envoy? "
Li Zheng pondered for a while: "Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng, when is the auspicious day of the zodiac?"
An official wearing a crimson official robe stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in three days it will be an auspicious day. It is a good time to travel, break ground, and visit relatives."
"The date of the mission is set for three days later. There will be fifteen officials and two thousand people in the mission. The chief envoy will be Liu Mingzhi and the deputy envoy Song Qing."
"Your Majesty, I have a small request."
"Say it, I'm sure."
"Can we talk in private?"
Young Master Liu made a last-ditch effort. He had to go on an envoy, but he had to think carefully about how to save his life.
Li Zheng nodded lightly: "Since Liu Aiqing doesn't want to speak in public, she will withdraw from the court and discuss it later. Do you have any plans to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have one last trick to make."
"Accurate."
"Your Majesty, the governor of Qingzhou has written to ask what should the people do if they find locust eggs in their fields?"
Li Zheng's expression changed: "Locusts? Could it be that there will be another locust plague just at the beginning of this year?"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also began to talk. The locust plague was unsolvable bad news in ancient times. The locusts passed through the border, leaving no grass growing. The land was everywhere, and the people would have nothing to gain.
There is no other way to deal with the locusts except to provide disaster relief. The people believe that the locusts are a punishment sent from heaven, so they can only let the locusts eat food without daring to kill them. In the eyes of some people, they are even more ignorant and unethical. The locust god came to inform the world. Linking the locust incident to the emperor and saying some confusing words, his intentions are self-evident.
Yanzhou just experienced a locust plague last year that resulted in no harvest. In the past few years, locust eggs have appeared again in Qingzhou. Once the eggs of locusts take shape, the consequences will be inestimable.
The civil and military officials looked at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression in fear. Naturally, they knew very well what the people said about the locust plague.
The emperor was confused, and God sent the locust god to warn him.
Young Master Liu didn't panic at all when he heard the locusts. Instead, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. "Locusts, that's not something else, that's a locust."
It was such a rare thing that even three of them would not dare to fly together in future generations. Apart from artificial breeding, it had been many years since Mr. Liu had tasted that thing in his previous life.
Subconsciously wiping his saliva, Young Master Liu's eyes looked like locusts.
Good boy, eat quickly and you will become fat.
Hey, locust plague, isn’t this the best opportunity?
"Your Majesty, I have a way to control the locust plague. The locusts pass through the border and there is no harvest. The people are all over the place without food. I am heartbroken. I am willing to go to Qingzhou to control the locust plague and share your Majesty's worries."
Li Zheng's eyes lit up and he looked at Young Master Liu cautiously: "Liu Aiqing, you must know that there is no joke before you. Do you know what your words mean?"
"Bang... I know, but I am still willing to go. If the locust plague in Qingzhou cannot be managed well, I am willing to come and see you." As long as I can avoid going to the Kingdom of Jin, I will blow up Locusts... Controlling locusts is simply a matter of drizzle and watering. The locust plague is more terrifying than the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, especially the female emperor.
"Okay, as long as Liu Aiqing can solve the problem of the locust plague in Qingzhou for me, I will immediately give you an official position and a noble title, and you can feed thousands of households."
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
"There is no point in waiting."
The emperor's reward for Young Master Liu being promoted to an official position and nobility was meaningless to them. Many people were lamenting that even though Young Master Liu was a genius, he was only a flash in the pan. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, no one in the past dynasties dared to say so. Can control locusts.
After all, even civil and military officials are in awe of locusts that cover the sky and the sun.
Although Li Zheng was calm and composed on the surface, he was actually already panicking. The rumors about the coming locust plague made him more nervous than anyone else. He was also aware of those rumors. Once the people had no food and shelter, civil unrest would definitely occur. If If used by someone with intentions, it will be a force that cannot be underestimated.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, thanks you. Your Majesty, if I am willing to go to Qingzhou to control the locust plague, does that mean I don't need to be an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Liu Aiqing, are you kidding me? The locusts in Qingzhou are just young eggs. They won't become a locust plague within a few months of growth. It's not too late for you to rush to Qingzhou after returning from the Kingdom of Jin."
It's not too late for you to rush to Qingzhou after returning from the Kingdom of Jin.
It's not too late to rush to Qingzhou after the return of the Kingdom of Jin.
It’s not too late to rush to Qingzhou.
not late.
Night.
Young Master Liu stood there blinded, with the emperor's words in his mind.
"Your Majesty, the locust plague has passed by and no grass can grow. The people are more important. If the locusts take shape, it will be too late to control them."
"Business roads are equally important. As long as the trade routes are opened, a steady stream of supplies will flow into Dalong. Even if the control of the locust plague fails, with abundant supplies, disaster relief will be nothing more than a trivial matter."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Young Master Liu's mouth twitched and he looked at the emperor speechlessly. Why is your brain circuit so strange?
Your Majesty, do you know? Now that I have gone to the Kingdom of Jin, there is no telling whether I can come back to provide relief.
In Dalong, according to Dalong's laws, if a woman is frivolous, she will most likely be castrated, which is what the saying goes, but in the Jin Kingdom, who knows what the crime of being frivolous with the emperor is.
"Retreat from the imperial court, Liu Aiqing and Song Aiqing, come with me to the imperial study. I will grant you some small requests within the scope of feasibility."
