。

Datang has experienced a once-in-a-century locust plague, Li Er is announcing the disaster relief work, and the entire court is like a sophisticated machine, running rapidly. Although it is said that there is no convenient communication like that of later generations, countless Hongling messengers galloped across the land of Guanzhong, delivering news at the fastest speed.

At this time, the cement road that had been built before played an important role, the original official road was all replaced by the cement road, and the war horse with a horseshoe was running, and the speed of information transmission on the land of Guanzhong was twice as fast as before.

Of course, not only the cement road has made contributions, but also the grain of Lingnan has also played a huge role at this time. That's right, Lingnan became the granary of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and Feng An, who is now named the Duke of Yue Guo by Li Er, can be said to be supported by the broken family at this time.

That's right, the grain in this part of Lingnan can be said to have been looted by Feng An, and they have only planted Zhancheng rice for less than two years, and it has matured five times in total, and the people of Lingnan have just had excess grain in their hands. At this time, Feng Ang gave an order to buy grain from the people at a high price to support the Guanzhong region.

In this case, the imperial court's disaster relief grain is still on the way, and Feng Ang's grain has already purchased most of it, all of which are advanced by the Feng family. This made Li Er more pleasing to the Feng family, and Li Er was a little relieved in this part of Lingnan.

Of course, even if Feng Ang was indifferent at this time, Li Er was confident that he would take down this part of Lingnan, because in the arsenal of the Tang Dynasty, countless gunpowder weapons had been piled up, and there was only one experimental target left to test the power of the weapon.

However, although Feng Ang didn't know this kind of confidential information, he had never had a different heart, and it didn't matter if he knew it or not. On the contrary, he gained Li Er's trust even more, and this part of Lingnan was spared the scourge of military disasters.

Lu Hanyang studied Fu Seal and forgot to sleep and eat, and also forgot about the locust plague this time, he originally remembered it when he turned around in the Americas, but after a breakthrough of almost nine deaths, he shifted his attention and didn't think about it for a while.

However, Datang could survive this disaster without him, after all, after all, after Lu Hanyang came to this world, he has brought a lot of changes. Moreover, the disaster relief policy implemented by Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was proposed by Lu Hanyang.

In this disaster, except for the initial disaster outbreak of the unpreparedness, everything was within the controllable range, first mobilized grain, the granary in the customs first insisted, and then from Jiangnan, from Lingnan to mobilize grain into the customs. Through the sea routes and rivers that had been opened up before, it was possible to transport grain on a large scale.

And Feng Ang also took advantage of this opportunity at this time to train their family's fleet very well, not only to transport grain to the north, but also to Zhenla, Linyi and other countries in the south, and even further to the south, collecting taxes on these small countries along the way.

That's right, it is under the banner of the Tang Dynasty to tax these small countries, mainly the grain and spices that are abundant in these places. There are still a lot of spices on the Indochina Peninsula, and further south are the Indonesian archipelago, of course, it is not called this name now, Feng Ang and they first discovered these islands, they went to a name: Feng Islands.

It means that this is the island that their Feng family found, and it is full of spices. There are no indigenous people here, after all, it is impossible to travel between the two islands without ships across the vast sea.

Therefore, this place was regarded by the Feng family as another settlement of their family, and even recruited many people from the Liangguang area to develop these places together. In this world, the Indonesian archipelago has become an inseparable part of Datang. Or that the Feng family may establish their own country there in the future.

Not to mention the development of the Feng family, there was no starvation on the land of Guanzhong, but a construction site in full swing, and after countless victims were eaten by locusts, they had no way to go to those big cities, where it was possible to have a bite to eat and not starve to death.

And this is convenient for those nobles and families who have built workshops, they are still worried about the lack of labor, the nomads in the north were robbed by the Tang Dynasty before, and captured countless prisoners of war who were originally their soldiers, these people were not released, but were divided up by these nobles and families.

Because cement kilns, coal mines, and road construction, etc., all require countless labor, and these prisoners of war are all young and strong, all of them are guys with a lot of strength, how can they be wasted

Therefore, all these people became workers in the workshop, but they worked under the supervision of the overseers, and if there was a slight mistake, they were directly whipped, and even more excessively, there were knives to monitor the work of the prisoners of war.

Although these prisoners of war had alleviated some of the labor shortages before, as more public facilities began to be built in Datang, there were no more manpower, and the output of cement, the amount of coal mining, and the construction of roads were all unsatisfactory because of the lack of manpower.

And this time, the victims gave them a chance, and they all started to recruit workers, let these people work in their workshops, pay them, and take care of food and shelter. Of course, most of them are young and strong.

In this way, under the construction of these workshops and the roads of the imperial court, the original food was replaced by those who were given food and left them to fend for themselves. minimized the panic caused by this locust plague, and also made those rumors that attacked Li Er not have enough soil to grow.

Of course, this situation is the best, and Datang has not had any turmoil because of this. There is still hope for the people to continue to survive and to be able to feed themselves with a mouthful of food every day.

There is no surplus of supplies in the whole world to be able to feed everyone, but in this year of disaster, where can there be so much luxury. Of course, this time the locust plague still has a certain impact on Datang, that is, for those surrounding countries, Datang's military operations have all stopped.

And Lu Hanyang embarked on the road of return under such circumstances, he went south from Siberia, and then went to the territory of Goguryeo, where the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo were still facing each other, but the Tang side did not launch another military operation. Just because of the locust plague in the country, the armaments here have been reduced somewhat, which is not enough to support large-scale military operations.

However, there is still some friction between them, Zhang Yuanjian and Zhang Liang are still engaged in skirmishes with Goguryeo, and there are still small Goguryeo sampans on the sea provoking. On land, the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu is still building the Great Wall.

Obviously, the people of Goguryeo didn't take Lu Hanyang's previous warning to heart, and they didn't think that the immortals of the Tang Dynasty would keep an eye on them. And the fact is also the same, Lu Hanyang just gave them a warning, and then did not take action again, he went to the Americas and went for more than half a year.
