Of course Fang Xuanling knew where Du Ruhui was talking about.
"Brother Keming, why do you remember that place?"
"I just feel that there is too special. What he does and thinks is different from us. Now everyone is at a loss. Maybe we can get the answer from him?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together!"
Originally, he had made up his mind not to have anything to do with it, but the current situation was too serious.
In the past month or so, although potatoes have been planted in various places and duck breeding is on track, there are more and more locust larvae in various places.
The arrival of the locust plague is almost a foregone conclusion, but it is still impossible to predict how large it will be.
The unknown is always the biggest source of fear.
When the two of them arrived at Tang Ping's house in a car, Tang Ping fell asleep and was having lunch.
The two prime ministers who were led in by Lu Yi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as they looked at Tang Ping's table of dishes.
Of course Li Shimin would not treat them badly when they were called into the palace last night, but the food they ate always seemed a little less interesting than what they saw in front of them.
Tang Ping had met Fang Xuanling but not Du Ruhui, but they both seemed not too young, so they were elders anyway, and he was hospitable, so he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Have you two eaten? How about that?" Let’s eat something together?”
Fang Xuanling was reserved and wanted to say that she had eaten, but her stomach growled twice.
He looked at Du Ruhui and smiled, then sat down at the table without any courtesy.
If nothing else, the two of them were very curious about this table, because there were more and more people in the house, and guests came every now and then.
Tang Ping didn't have the habit of sharing meals in the Tang Dynasty, so he directly asked brother Wang Tieniu to transform the original large round table into a revolving table like the ones in hotels later.
Otherwise, when eating, Xiaoluo would only pick up the food in front of her, and would never reach out for food that was far away.
"This is this?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously, looking at the bright red white square in front of him.
“Ma Po Tofu!”
"Tofu?" There is already tofu in this era, but this Mapo Tofu does not exist.
He scooped a spoonful of it into his own bowl and Fang Xuanling took a bite: "Spicy, fresh, fragrant and tender, little brother Tang is really good at eating it!"
"Hahaha, it's all Xiao Luo's cooking!" Tang Ping said with a smile. Xiao Luo was born to be a cook. Tang Ping brought the recipe book and the video of how to make delicious food. She can cook it just by watching it once. of decent appearance.
However, the two of them didn't come here to eat. Although the food here in Tang Ping was delicious, they lost their appetite after a few bites when they thought about the coming locust plague.
Business was more important, so after taking a sip of tea, Fang Xuanling asked solemnly:
"Brother Tang, you were the first to report this locust plague to His Majesty, right?"
"Who is the uncle?" Tang Ping was a little curious and asked without answering the question.
Li Jing said that only a few senior officials of Datang knew about this. Fang Xuanling did not identify himself last time he came. Tang Ping guessed that he was an official of Datang, but he did not know that he was Fang Xuanling from Fang Mou Duduan. .
"I'm really sorry. I didn't state my identity last time. I'm Liang Guogong Fang Qiao. This is Cai Guogong Du Ruhui." Subconsciously, Fang Xuanling had already regarded Tang Ping as a member of the royal family, so he only mentioned his title but not his official position. .
Tang Ping was shocked, but he didn't expect that they were the two most famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty who were said to be responsible for Fang Mouduan.
"I have met Liang Guogong, I have met Cai Guogong!" Tang Ping saluted, and then asked: "I don't know why you two are here today..."
He didn't believe that the two famous prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty came to his Shanghe Village out of boredom and wanted to eat something.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at the people at the table: "I came to see Brother Tang today because I have something to ask..."
Lu Yi was the most discerning, so she pulled Xiao Luo up and said, "Let's go clean the house."
Lao Cui and Lao Du also stood up and said to Pei Min: "The two moves that senior pointed out yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Ping: "You haven't finished your meal yet, so eat honestly!"
Then he looked at the two of them and said, "I made these two adults laugh, but they are all eating at the same table as me, so I don't think there is anything I can say to avoid them."
Tang Ping is a bit strange. He doesn't like lying or being in debt to others.
He lied about his identity to people like Xiaoluo in his family, it was out of necessity.
Xiao Luo and Lu Yi usually take care of me in my daily life. Old Cui and Lao Du also take care of me and do their duty to me.
It can even be said that his life in the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from a few people.
After a few months of living, Tang Ping had regarded them as his relatives and friends, so no matter what Fang and Du came to do today, he felt that there was no need to avoid a few people.
Fang and Du were secretly frightened. They didn't know if Tang Ping really treated people like this or if he was trying to win people's hearts.
From their standpoints, they certainly didn't like the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty due to the appointment of the next generation of princes.
When Li Jiancheng gave the crown prince to Li Shimin, it was a joint decision between the two brothers, so although there was a small disturbance, it quickly subsided because the Li Shimin brothers were respectful brothers.
But Tang Ping is mysterious and unpredictable to them. If he can win people's hearts like this, it will be unpredictable for the next generation of prince Li Chengqian.
But the most important thing now is to get through the current crisis. If you can't get through this, there's no need to think about the future.
This time, the surrounding countries have made it clear that they will default on the food sent to the Tang Dynasty. Once a locust plague occurs in the Tang Dynasty, it goes without saying that war will break out.
So Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Tang reported the locust plague to the court, and we also took some measures, including trading grain with neighboring countries. But the recent news that the surrounding countries suddenly Various reasons began to delay the grain that should be sent to Datang."
Tang Ping originally thought that the locust plague crisis had been resolved, but after hearing what Fang Xuanling said, he realized that it was not that simple.
Unexpectedly, several surrounding countries actually united, which was the most detrimental to Datang.
"We are here today just to hear what little brother thinks about this matter?"
The two of them looked at Tang Ping with burning eyes. Yesterday, no one in the civil service or military could think of a good solution. Tang Ping was treating a dead horse like a living horse.
what to do? Tang Ping scratched his hair, which made him question.
But solving the locust plague was his main mission, so he still had to find a solution to this matter.
