The fast rider has arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs at a rapid pace.

A courier was sent to the desk of Dai Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and picked up the song, Dai Zhou looked down and almost fainted.

"The heavens are unkind, and the people are unfortunate."

With a long sigh, Dai Xuan immediately coughed desperately, and his whole body was trembling.

It's horrible......

In the northern part of Guanzhong, a large number of flying locusts appeared, countless flying locusts, obscuring the clouds and the sun.

What's even more terrifying is ...... These flying locusts have been overwhelmingly heading straight for Chang'an, and it won't be long before they will sweep through the entire Guanzhong.

Guanzhong ...... It is the greatest granary in the world.

Dai Guan, who is over 60 years old, has experienced several locust plagues, and he knows it very well...... What the locust plague means.

According to the report, this time the locust plague was bigger than the previous disaster years, and the locusts came more ferociously.

Finished......

Dai Xuan only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body trembled, and then he ...... An even more terrifying scene is about to appear, thousands of miles away...... Cannibalism!

"Enter the palace quickly!"

……

Li Shimin was very melancholy.

I...... No, what about Princess Sui'an's money......

Looking down at the money book on the desk, there are still dense numbers on it, and now ...... These numbers don't have much meaning anymore, Chen Zhengtai is a bastard, I must peel him next time.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and his heart became more and more impatient.

Zhang Qian hurriedly came: "Your Majesty...... Dai Gong asked to see him. ”

"Xuan."

Li Shimin settled down.

After a while, Dai Xuan entered the hall, obviously he walked in a particularly hurry, sweating profusely, panting and running to Li Shimin to salute: "Minister......"

As he spoke, he pulled out a copy of the report.

Zhang Qian sent the recital to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw the report, his pupils shrank.

It's just that...... His performance was surprisingly non-gaffe.

It's just that...... His lowered brow revealed the seriousness of the problem.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, put down the report slowly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Summoning the ministers!" “

The bells and drums in the palace resounded in the sky above the Taiji Palace.

The officials on duty in front of the palace couldn't help but look up in astonishment......

Immediately, hundreds of officials came to the audience.

Li Shimin wore nine chapters of the crown in his clothes, wore a red crown, and sat behind the royal case, after the ministers finished saluting, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Yongzhou is coming, there has been a long drought here for more than a month, three days ago, suddenly saw flying locusts, a few days ago, flying locusts covered the sun, swept the counties, Zhuqing...... Locusts are out of Guanzhong! ”

A sentence of locusts in the middle of the pass...... Immediately, the whole hall was in an uproar.

In fact...... Many people have begun to notice some signs, such as the beginning of scattered locusts in the city of Chang'an.

For example, these days, there have been some days when there has been no rain in Chang'an.

Of course...... Signs are signs, and sometimes there are some flying locusts occasionally, which is also a common thing, or rather...... In localized areas, some ...... appear It's not a big deal.

But what His Majesty said about the locusts obviously meant something different, which meant that a great catastrophe was about to befall him.

Locusts in this day and age...... It is even more terrible than the flood, because the flood only affects the coastal states and counties, and once a large-scale locust plague occurs...... Then the entire fertile Guanzhong land is about to become a hell on earth.

Li Shimin suddenly rose.

When he first received the report, he seemed very calm, but now in front of the ministers, Li Shimin's eyes were already red, and his voice was slightly tired and hoarse: "The people take the grain as their life, and the flying locusts eat it, which is harmful to the people." The people have had, in one person, if the locusts have spirits, but when it erodes my heart, it will not harm the people! ”

What does this mean...... It's very simple, but it just means that the people survive on food, and if the locusts eat it, it will be an attack on the people. The latter words are all guilty, and the sin is in the meaning of bowing.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and saw that all the ministers were as dead as ashes.

The dangers of flying locusts are well known...... Even if it's Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others...... There is only so much that can be done at the moment.

It's just that......

When Li Shimin said a word, he found that among the ministers, someone suddenly saw a black eye, and with a bang, someone actually fell directly to the ground.

The ministers were in an uproar and looked towards the man.

Li Shimin also looked at each other, he was in turmoil at the moment, but he saw a minister fall headlong in the palace.

If you look closely, it is Wei Hongsu, the doctor of the scattered dynasty. This Wei Hongsu is Wei Xuanzhen's uncle, who entered the court as an official, and when he heard the news of the locust plague, he fainted alive.

Li Shimin was shocked, and thought to himself, this true minister is also grieving when he hears the disaster, and I am not as good as him.

The eunuchs panicked and hurriedly helped Wei Hongsu up.

But at this time...... Suddenly...... Someone snapped and knelt on the ground, beating his heart like crazy, choked and unspeakable, his mouth opened and closed, and after a long time, he made a heart-rending voice: "I will die this day!" ”

The man cried......

Suddenly, Li Shimin could no longer restrain his emotions, sad emotions would be infectious, Li Shimin's eyes were red, his body trembled, and he thought in his heart, I have only been on the pole for three years, and I have encountered such a catastrophe, is this a warning from God?

If so, how will the subjects view me, if Guanzhong is thousands of miles away, and hundreds of people are hungry, I ...... What is the name of a lonely person?

When I think about it like this, I even feel that my heart is ...... It hurts terribly.

…………

"Proprietor, proprietor ......"

Huang Chenggong hurriedly found Wei Xuanzhen.

Wei Xuanzhen stands in her own back garden, the back garden of the Wei family, covering an area of 100 acres, planted with countless precious tree species, and countless strange stones, which can be called a fairyland on earth.

And at this time...... Wei Xuanzhen put her hands behind her back and stared straight at the few fat locusts on the branches and leaves in front of her with wide eyes, motionless.

Somehow, in the back garden, there were some locusts.

Huang Chenggong had already arrived behind Wei Xuanzhen.

"Proprietor ......"

Wei Xuanzhen showed a strange expression on her face, but she didn't look back at Huang Chenggong, but said lightly: "Strange, at this time, where did the flying locusts come from, where did they succeed, could it ...... It's going to breed locusts. ”

"The proprietor is really clever, the student is not as far away as the proprietor!"

“……”

Listening to Huang Chenggong's words, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly felt a chuckle in his heart, and unconsciously, he found that his feet were a little weak, his body trembled slightly, he turned around with his hands behind his back, and barely kept a smile on his face: "The locust infestation is not serious, right?" Is it sporadical? ”

Huang Chenggong seems to have raised his four sons until now, only to find out that he was not born to him.

He hesitated for a moment: "Proprietor...... The Ministry of Civil Affairs there...... There...... News has just arrived...... The locust infestation is coming...... Countless locusts...... It has swept through the northern part of Guanzhong, spreading everywhere, and Chang'an ...... It cannot be saved, and this locust infestation is only afraid that it has not been seen in a century. ”

The last bit of smile on Wei Xuanzhen's face disappeared at this moment, and his face turned miserable.

Not in a hundred years.

In fact, with the Wei family's background, even if they encountered a disaster, they couldn't actually break their bones.

Can ...... now The Wei family is in Chang'an's 10,000 hectares of fertile land, and the grain is not yet ripe, and this year ...... I'm afraid it's going to be lost.

And what's even more terrifying is ......

Wei Xuanzhen said with difficulty: "Our grain hasn't been delivered yet, right?" ”

The trade of grain takes time.

This kind of thing is naturally handed over to the subordinates, Wei Xuanzhen looked at Huang Chenggong deadly.

The air was stagnant.

The wind was soft.

Huang Chenggong wordlessly faced Wei Xuanzhen's dead face, and then ...... He nodded slowly.

Wei Xuanzhen's pupils contracted, and she felt more and more that her legs were ...... can no longer support his body: "It's all delivered? ”

"Yes, students are only afraid of long nights and dreams......"

Wei Xuanzhen: "......"

........

It makes sense to ask for some support for a new book, like a recommendation vote or something, right?
