Chapter Seventy-Three: The Last Way

Originally, he planned to let Duan Qing stay and take care of Zhao Ruoxin, but Li Qiong thought that because of what happened in Pufu that day, Duan Qing didn't listen to her and did something to Dong Ziye, and now he didn't want to see Duan Qing, if Duan Qing followed her with a dead face, I am afraid it would make Zhao Ruoxin even more annoying.

Therefore, Li Qiong didn't say anything to his lips, and drove the carriage back to the palace directly.

Although it was not yet May, the air was already a little hot and dry after a long period of drought, and after returning from the palace and climbing the long stone stairs, Li Qiong's forehead was already slightly sweating.

The Qin Palace, outside the palace, is still in the process of purchasing furniture, and according to the emperor's will, he will not move out of the palace until June, after he and Zhao Ruoxin get married.

Walking through a few vermilion corridors, when I passed the Hall of Merit, I saw in a small garden, and I saw the crazy Wu Bainian, who looked like selling dog skin plasters, and laughed at an imperial doctor wearing a dǐng pleated hat.

Even though the weather was already very hot, the imperial doctor sitting opposite Wu Bainian was still meticulously dressed, although he was ridiculed, but Li Qiong recognized it from his back with a bit of fairy wind bones, this person who was ridiculed by Wu Bainian must be Jiang Daohe, the first imperial doctor of the palace.

No matter how ridiculous and contemptuous Wu Bainian was, Jiang Daohe always looked humbly taught, and he seemed extremely pious.

Huang Shu is still holding a small notebook of his, completely like a treasure, and his subordinates are simply flying with a pen, and they really can't wait to write down every spittle star of Wu Bainian.

Zhang Yinyin sat boredly on the stone bench next to the three of them, knocking melon seeds, smiling from time to time. Sometimes melancholy, tired of listening, and stretching from time to time.

This kind of thing was always played out every day in a corner of the palace during this time.

Jiang Daohe is a person that Li Qiong has no respect for, but if it weren't for Jiang Daohe, Li Qiong would never have lived today.

The day before yesterday, he really couldn't stand Wu Bainian's uselessness of always belittleing Jiang Daohe, saying that the dignified first imperial doctor of the palace was not as good as his Wu Bainian's little apprentice Xiaodouzi, who was not yet fourteen years old, was very skilled, which made Li Qiong feel very uncomfortable, seeing Li Qiong's grievances, Jiang Daohe comforted him with a flat face: "Since I can't ≠ dǐng≠diǎn≠ Xiao≠ said, .∷.↘os_(); Heal you. And he can do it. He is willing to teach me Jiang Daohe, no matter how ugly the words are, I deserve it."

"Hey!"

Li Qiong sighed helplessly and shook his head. No longer look at Wu Bainian's villainous face. In his heart. Although Wu Bainian was governing his life, he didn't thank him at all.

Walking outside the Qinhe Palace, Li Qiong did not go in. Standing at the door, he pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Concubine Ren's residence, Zeng Yu.

He thought that Wu Bainian had told him this morning, and his treatment during this period had entered a critical period, and he should lie on the bed to rest more and not move around, but thinking of Zhao Ruoxin's big trouble this morning, and later taking his subordinates to the street to perform arts, he was faintly uneasy, thinking about whether to let Li Qiuping go to take a look and take care of it, but don't let Zhao Ruoxin make any trouble again.

But unfortunately, when he came to Jingren Palace, he didn't see Li Qiuping, Zeng Yu told him that Princess Qiuping had been grounded by Li Hongyi, and before June, no one could see him, let alone leave Jingren Palace for half a step.

Li Qiong smiled bitterly in his heart, why did his father want to ban Qiuping's sister, of course he knew better than anyone else in his heart, after saying goodbye to Concubine Ren, he went straight back to Qinhe Palace.

But halfway through, he remembered what Zhao Ruoxin said to him just now for no reason: "There will be a locust plague soon." As soon as the locust plague comes, the grain will be harvested all over the world, and then there will be a torrential rain, and the quality of the dam you built is not up to par, and when the time comes, the embankment will burst everywhere, and many innocent people will be drowned.

Li Qiong smiled helplessly: "The locust plague and flood are really getting more and more tormented, when I was in Yizhou, it was you who gave me the letter to build the dam, and now it has cost so much manpower and material resources, and the person who asked me to tear down the dam is still you, hehe, it's really not worry-free."

Speaking of this, Li Qiong's mind suddenly appeared that the beautiful woman whose skin was as white as clotted fat, wrapped in thick water vapor, like an empty valley orchid, and a fairy came out of the bath, and the voice of 'sister help you rub your back' echoed in his ears, or made others smile lightly with a cold face.

The way back to Qinhe Palace was already halfway through, thinking that even if he went back, he couldn't calm down and read a book, Li Qiong changed the direction again and went directly towards the Imperial Garden.

That faint smile kept hanging on his face, and he walked step by step in the imperial garden, and suddenly a kind voice came from behind him to interrupt his ethereal thoughts: "Qiong'er, why did you come out, didn't Doctor Wu tell you not to move around as much as possible?" ”

Li Qiong turned around and saw a man and a woman walking in the distance, and hurriedly saluted: "The son has seen his father and the queen."

Li Hongyi and Lan He Empress stepped forward, naturally concerned again, Li Qiong's interest was not disturbed, and he was not in the mood to visit the imperial garden again, he wanted to go back to recuperate for some reason, turned around and walked a few steps, he stopped again, and asked for no reason: "Father, did you say that there will be a locust plague this year?" ”

"A plague of locusts?"

The short two words made Li Hongyi's body tremble obviously, and then immediately regained his composure: "Oh, how can Qiong'er ask such a question?" ”

Li Hongyi's tone was calm, but Li Qiong's question had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart, not for anything else, because these two words were just in front of him, Gu Chip, a powerhouse in the Open Heaven Realm, had told him, but after getting the lotus leaf water transport device from Pu Yi, Gu Chip never mentioned it in his ear again.

Li Hongyi remembers very well that Gu Chip told him that day. A game is broken, the game is broken, in his mind, since there is already a lotus leaf water transport device, then the first game of this food shortage has been broken, according to the speculation of Gu Cai, locust plague and flood disaster, belong to the next series of games, when it is broken.

But Li Hongyi never imagined that Gu Chip's calculations. As far as possible out of a diǎndiǎn small difference cuò. That is the locust plague, before the food shortage, not to mention, the lotus leaf water transport device. And it didn't work as well as it should. The so-called bureau of the ancient chips. It's not broken at all.

Li Qiongke knew that Zhao Ruoxin had made a big fuss at the court meeting this morning, which had angered Li Hongyi, and he didn't want to make Li Hongyi unhappy again. Immediately squeezed out a stiff smile and said: "It's just that I just saw a record of the locust plague in the previous classics, and the classics record that the locust plague occurred, covering the sky and the sun, and countless locusts would not only eat the grain grains, but also eat the trees into a bare piece, and even the grass would be eaten into fine light."

The locust plague is terrible, of course Li Hongyi knows, he even experienced it himself, he was a little reluctant to listen to Li Qiong anymore, and waved his hand to interrupt Li Qiong's words: "There is no shadow, Qiong'er can cultivate his body with peace of mind, don't think nonsense all day long, I am still waiting for your body to recover, and in two years, I will lead troops for me and destroy the Beihu Kingdom that has always invaded my border in one fell swoop."

Seeing Li Hongyi's appearance, Li Qiong regretted mentioning the locust plague a little, and as for the flood disaster that Zhao Ruoxin said, he couldn't mention it anymore, so he gave another salute at the moment, and then he really went back to his Qinhe Palace.

However, although Li Qiong had left, Li Hongyi was not in the mood to accompany Jiao Lan and visit the Imperial Garden, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, at this time, Zhao Ruoxin's crazy words in the early dynasty sounded in his mind for no reason: "Your Majesty, immediately issue an order to tear down all the dams, mobilize all the people, and not delay for a moment, mobilize all the people to collect the grain in the field, how much can be collected."

The first sentence was automatically filtered out by him, but the second half of the sentence always lingered in his mind endlessly: "There can be no delay for a moment, mobilize all the people to collect the geographical grain, how much can be harvested."

Li Hongyi hurriedly walked to the imperial study, but his mouth unconsciously muttered: "How much can you collect from the locust plague and the locust plague?" ”

"Why do you want to harvest grain early? It's because there is a plague of locusts, otherwise, there will be no harvest."

"If there is really going to be a locust plague, then how much you receive in advance now, you will earn"

Li Hongyi is such a smart person, he connected the locust plague with what Zhao Ruoxin said this morning.

It's just that the more he thinks about it, the more scared he feels, even if he doesn't even know when a dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead, what he was afraid of was not just a locust plague, but the catastrophe of the three calamities that Gu Chip once said.

After instructing Gonggong Cai to summon the Dasi Nong of the Ministry of Households, an official in charge of agricultural affairs throughout the country, and ordering someone to invite Gu Chip, Li Hong had already hurried to the imperial study.

These days, all the ups and downs, all the twists and turns about farming have been turned out and carefully looked at again, there is indeed no mistake, there is no official who said that the food was affected, the whole country, a song of merit, all praised the installation of the lotus leaf water lifting device of the imperial court, not only solved the problem of spring drought in time, now the weather is excellent, when the upright wheat is filled with poplars, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest year, maybe this year's grain, will be doubled compared with last year.

Da Nongsi is almost seventy years old, and in a month he will be at the age of returning to his hometown, and he is still panting when he walks into the imperial study, obviously in a hurry.

Li Hongyi didn't give him time to rest, and immediately said: "Liu Aiqing, is it really because of this water-lifting device, not only has the grain production of our dynasty not been affected by a diǎn, but even the harvest has been overturned?" Is that water lifting device really that effective? ”

Da Nongsi's brain turned, thinking that he was going to return to his hometown in a month, and now the whole country is singing praises, where would he be stupid to offend people at this time, and immediately calmed down his breath and said: "That's true, according to the experience of the old minister for so many years, such a good weather, the wheat is full of water, there is no drought, not to mention that the harvest has doubled, but there is no doubt about increasing the yield by thirty percent."

Liu Zhenqin is an old fritter in officialdom, and this is ambiguous, talking about wheat that is full of water, and not saying that the lotus leaf water lifting device is often broken because the conveyor belt is overwhelmed. Large swathes of the country's fields have been affected

Li Hongyi did not hear the sound of the strings, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, since the situation in the whole country is very good, then this situation must be broken.

The two said some more words, and Liu Zhenqin confirmed it, and Li Hongyi was even more calm and calm for a moment, and the worries in his heart and Zhao Ruoxin's words that always echoed in his mind before had been ruthlessly dared by him.

He took a big sip of tea, and his mood was extremely happy!

After a while, he also explained about his return to his hometown, and retired Liu Zhenqin, a big farmer. Gu Chip had already pushed the door in.

Li Hongyi asked directly: "Military advisor." Can you calculate the situation of the three plagues for me? ”

Gu Chip frowned and said, "Recently, the stars have been confused, and the situation is still unclear."

"Ahem"

As he spoke, Gu Chip coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Hongyi is worried. Gu Chip hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yesterday, the old man opened the Heavenly Realm to cultivate. Strong self-communication with the mystery of heaven and earth. It was found that there were anomalies in the west, south, and east. Three of the surrounding ten stars dimmed, the celestial image was reorganized, and the old man was also greatly counterattacked, and he was not lightly injured."

Li Hongyi was not in the mood to take care of the affairs of other countries, so he immediately asked cautiously: "Does that mean that the overall situation of the three calamities that the military advisors calculated about our dynasty has been broken, and the celestial statue has begun to reorganize?" ”

Gu Chip said ambiguous words for the first time, speculating: "There is such a possibility"

However, Qing'an Palace, Zhao Ruoxin came back from yesterday, slept until now, opened her eyes, it was already a new day, and it was one day less than the time when the locust plague was about to break out by the gene chip, and the time had become eighteen days.

hurriedly ate the breakfast sent by the people of the palace, Zhao Ruoxin's mood became even more anxious, Li Qiong was gone, and Li Hezheng, who broke her heart and cried that day, did not have the slightest news about him in half a month, and no one around her mentioned anything about the prince to her.

They seem to have really become strangers, Li Hezheng didn't even send someone to visit, let alone a nice word, compared to the Mu Gongzi she knew before who always said a thing that moved her for a long time from time to time, maybe this is the real prince.

Li Hezheng's attitude is obvious, since he can't wait to let her die, he will definitely not have anything to do with her anymore.

Asked Xiaocui to take a look outside the Qing'an Palace, Zhao Ruoxin began to scold her mother again, and today she didn't even come back to Princess Qiuping, who was always sticking to her like a dog skin plaster.

It seems that if you want to take the road of Li Qiuping and then ask Li Hongyi to believe that the path of the locust plague will no longer work.

There is no way, to come to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhao Ruoxin wrote down the theory of 'locusts after a long drought' in detail, and even wrote down the countless insect eggs found in the wheat fields on the banks of the Darong River a few days ago, and even the time when the locust plague was about to break out was accurate to a certain day.

Next, Zhao Ruoxin also proposed three solutions to Li Hongyi: the first thing is naturally pesticides, and if Li Hongyi helps, she believes that she will definitely be able to collect all the raw materials for refining pesticides in an extreme time. Then it was to mobilize artificial insect extermination, insect catching, and she even wrote a recipe for making locusts into dishes, and the worst thing was that the people must harvest food before the locust plague occurred.

The theory and steps are very cumbersome, but Zhao Ruoxin wrote very carefully and straightforwardly, although it was only copied from the gene chip in her brain, but Zhao Ruoxin finished this qiē, and another day has passed.

Time, another whole day is missing!

But Li Qiong and Li Qiuping still didn't come that day, although Zhao Ruoxin was very willing to have a relationship with Chu Jiazhai again, but this was a major matter related to the life and death of hundreds of people, and Zhao Ruoxin had no choice.

She handed over a small notebook to Xiao Cui, and told Xiao Cui to personally deliver it to Chu Xun, and asked Chu Xun to hand it over to Li Hongyi personally.

It's a pity that it backfired, and it didn't take long for Xiaocui to rush back and tell her that she didn't see Chu Xun, not only that, but even no one in Chu Jiazhai saw it, and all the properties of the Chu family in the capital were suspended from business, only a few more settlers on the counter of Rennan Bank, but they all stopped withdrawing money and no longer deposited money!

This made Zhao Ruoxin frown.

There is really no way to do it, Zhao Ruoxin thought of Li Yong here, although she is not very familiar with Li Yong, but she still decided to tell Li Yong in person about the powerful relationship, hoping that Li Yong will call the booklet she wrote for a whole day to Li Hongyi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruoxin didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately went out of her yard to find Li Yong.
