After receiving the messenger, the envoy is very important, with Xue Lang's character, if you don't accept the messenger, since you have accepted, you must do it conscientiously.

After a little muttering, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the first wave of the locust plague in the spring of the coming year, and the wave with the heaviest responsibility, is the nymph stage after the eggs hatch, and as many locusts as possible can be eliminated at this stage in order to reduce the number of adults as much as possible." The nymph stage has not yet grown wings, so it is easier to destroy, and when it grows into an adult and has wings, it will be much more troublesome to destroy. If the nymph is conquered at this stage, the pressure in the adult stage can be much less. So, I think, the first thing is the nymph stage! In order to eradicate as many locusts as possible in the nymph stage, manpower should go hand in hand with chickens and ducks, and even take more responsibility, to reduce the pressure of locust extermination in the adult stage. In this way, some things need to be prepared in advance, and one thing must be strictly guarded against and controlled! ”

Xue Lang's expression was very solemn, Li Eryi was in a daze, and asked: "Youyang is here, I really endorse you!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xue Lang bowed down, looked at the people present, and said word by word: "Before the disaster happens, remember to keep it secret!" You also have land in your house, and you are also afraid of locust plagues, so you can secretly prepare to go, and you must not explicitly say that locust plagues will occur, otherwise, once the news leaks, it may cause unnecessary panic and trouble! ”

Li Er's expression was solemn, and he said: "Today's courtiers are all my confidants, so they should not be lost." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace showed more emotion, and became more and more respectful to Li Er. Xue Lang silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, and replied: "The ministers are naturally safe, and the selected army must also do a good job of secrecy and strict military discipline, even if someone guesses, it is not allowed to publicize it." ”

Li Er nodded, and said to Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong: "Yizhen, Jingde, this matter is not trivial, it is not a child's play, you two must supervise well, and you must not lose." ”

"Whoa!"

Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong responded with solemn faces.

Emphasizing confidentiality and discipline, Xue Lang said while thinking: "Chickens and ducks can eat locusts, naturally the more the better, but as many chickens and ducks as possible, we must pay attention to the problem of epidemic prevention." Not only should it be publicized in the army, but it also needs to be selected and given by eloquence, and it is necessary to preach it around Chang'an City and in arid places, so as to do a good job in epidemic prevention as much as possible, so as to ensure that there are more chickens and ducks to deal with the locust plague in the coming year. Secondly, insects are often phototaxis, and locusts are no exception, so His Majesty has to prepare as much light transmitting paper as possible to paste lanterns."

On this political hall, Xue Lang said his thoughts while thinking, and discussed and improved with the ministers, all in order to survive the locust plague.

The discussion lasted until it was dark, and even dinner was eaten in the palace, and then they returned home and waited for tomorrow to continue the discussion. probably said too much, and when he got home, Xue Lang's voice was a little hoarse, so that people soaked Luo Han Guo water to moisten his throat, played with the water slave for a while, did thirty push-ups, took a hot bath, lazily nestled in the rocking chair, closed his eyes and asked Lamei to wipe and comb his hair.

"Exhausted, aren't you?"

Princess Pingyang sat down on the chair beside him, waved her hand, told Lamei to step away, and went into battle to rub his temples. Xue Lang was reluctant to let her rub it, rubbed it twice, then pulled down her hand, put it to her lips and kissed it, opened her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that I use my brain too much, I talk a lot, and I'm a little tired, so it's okay." You're not going to be light today, are you? ”

Princess Pingyang said indifferently: "It's okay, the people I invite are all people who have been trustworthy in the past, and I want to mention it, there is no one who is tired of working in the court." ”

Xue Lang tilted his head and looked at her carefully, indeed, his spirit was quite good, he stretched out his hand to pull the person up, and directly hugged the person in his arms, Princess Pingyang took advantage of the situation and snuggled into his arms, her head rested on his shoulder, the rocking chair shook gently, and her heart was quiet.

Xue Lang's hand gently patted her back and said, "Seeing that the water slave is big, and Tan Nu is also taken care of, do you have anything you want to do?" ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes rolled, and she said as if it were true or false: "Isn't it that Lang Jun sees his wife every day, and he is already tired of it?" If you dislike being a wife, do you want to be sensitive? ”

Xue Lang couldn't cry or laugh, and slapped her ass without thinking about it, Princess Pingyang's body stiffened, and she glared at him with a little shame, her face blushing.

Xue Lang laughed and said, "Who told you to tease me, are you afraid?" ”

I'm actually proud!

Princess Pingyang glanced at him and smiled: "It seems that Lang Jun has a good face, it doesn't matter, he will be in the future, and he is not in a hurry for his wife." ”

Xue Lang laughed: "Hey, are you so threatening?" ”

Princess Pingyang only looked at him and smiled, silent.

The two couples laughed a few words very well, and when they were tired of laughing, Princess Pingyang leaned on Xue Lang, gently rubbed his chin with her hand, and asked, "What does Lang Jun think?" ”

Xue Lang's eyes lit up and said, "Why don't we start a newspaper!" ”

"Newspapers? What is a newspaper? ”

Xue Lang had to tell her what newspaper it was, the style of the newspaper, etc. After explaining, Xue Lang said: "When I was discussing in the palace today, I suddenly remembered one thing, and when I find a craftsman tomorrow, I will tell them to see if it can be made, as long as the problem of ink and paper is solved, the rest is not difficult." ”

Princess Pingyang was thoughtful, still wondering why Xue Lang wanted to make a newspaper.

It's a technical problem!

Xue Lang smiled and touched her long hair, Princess Pingyang's long hair was thick and dense, very smooth. Obviously, there weren't many hair care things in ancient times, but whether it was Her Royal Highness the princess or the maid at home, the hair was not bad, of course, Xue Lang would not reach out to touch the maidservant, he also liked to touch the long hair of Her Royal Highness the princess, and it felt good across the palm.

Xue Lang said: "We have merit, but for more than a year, I have thought about it, only these merits are not enough, and we still have something to do with a real hammer at hand." By mistake, in the past two years of going to Jiangnan, my painting skills have made a breakthrough, and now I am also well-known in the art world. ”

Princess Pingyang bowed her head, the reason why she has always supported and encouraged Xue Lang to publish books is for the inheritance of family style. Since ancient times, the families of the powerful have relied on the supremacy of imperial power, but the way of family heirlooms is based on their own ability and inheritance. The family of the powerful, the change of imperial power may be wiped out, but the noble family has its own ability and confidence, no matter which dynasty is not afraid, even if it declines for a while, as long as the talent continues to die, it can be revived again.

The current five surnames and seven families, at the beginning, were just like that, after many generations of eunuchs, and after years of accumulation, there are today's five surnames and seven families.

Xue Lang has no ambition to be a thousand-year-old family, but he doesn't want to leave his life and destiny in the hands of others, and wants to find a way to survive for himself and his future generations. said that the Xue family currently has two sons and daughters, and he and his son said that the family is too early!
