In Chang'an City, Li Er was walking on the edge of the farmland on the outskirts of Chang'an City with several close ministers at this time. The wheat field here is being harvested, and the farmers are busy in the field, although the wheat is not yet fully ripe, it is only ten days away, and now the harvest will cause the grain to be not full, and the yield will be reduced a lot. But it was better than feeding all the locusts, so one by one, with sweat, desperately cut off the wheat stalks that were still green, and then tied them into bundles and piled them up in the field, and waited for a little more to carry them back together.

Li Er was dressed in civilian clothes, and behind him were the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng. A few people walked in this golden field, which was supposed to be a season full of harvest, but because of the locust plague, the entire Gyeonggi region was full of sorrow and sorrow this year, and even faint rumors began to spread that some ill-intentioned people were taking the opportunity to attack Li Er. Li Eryi was not afraid, let those people stumble, he just went his own way to provide disaster relief and appease the people. With the continuous distribution of food, the people not only did not resent Li Er, but even thanked him for Dade, and the calculations of those people with ulterior motives completely failed, and even exposed themselves, during this time, there were many such people who quietly disappeared into the crowd. The Hundred Horsemen who are hidden in the shadows are not just eating and not doing things.

"Look, ladies and gentlemen, why did this come to this, when it was supposed to be a time of rejoicing and the people hoping for a good harvest? Is it really the price of prosperity? Li Er pointed to the wheat field beside him and said.

"Your Majesty, this natural disaster is not a man-made disaster, we have nothing to do with it, and every drink and peck is determined by heaven, maybe what the national teacher said also has a truth!" The eldest grandson Wuji still has reservations about these. Although he was not religious, he was also more polite to Taoism.

"I thought. In fact, this is the reason why the weather was warmer than usual last winter, and the eggs laid by the locusts were not frozen to death by the severe cold! Du Ruhui disagreed. What kind of prosperous era will have three calamities coming, it's really ridiculous, isn't it because these people have made countless efforts to govern the entire empire? After all, people still have to rely on themselves, what is fate, he no longer believes in these after seeing countless tragedies of family destruction and death in the war, why do those kind people have to bear such a fate? Why can't those high gods see the suffering of sentient beings? Or are the gods inherently ruthless? Therefore, Du Ruhui did not believe in any destiny in his heart, it was all a lie, and the reason why the two families of Buddhism and Taoism became the ruler's guests was not because they were the spokesmen of the gods and Buddhas, but because the ruler needed them to make the people less resentful. Don't be so drastic, it's just convenient for them to rule. These people standing here know it, but no one will say it.

Just between the conversations of several people, a few locusts jumped in front of a few people, during this time Li Er was fed up with the anger of this thing, and now these things still dare to jump in front of him, and they don't give any face, so Li Er stretched out his hand and caught these locusts: "People have to survive by eating food, and now they are eaten by these things of yours." This is harming the people. The people are not at fault, I am the only one who is at fault, and if you locusts really work, then you will eat my heart. Stop persecuting the people! And he put it in his mouth,

"Majesty xià can't! This thing is not clean, I am afraid that if you eat it, you will get sick! Eldest Sun Wuji and the others hurriedly persuaded him.

"What's not clean. Even if I get sick, I'll be left to bear it all by myself. Divert the suffering of the people to me, and I will not avoid it! Li Erzhen said eloquently.

Has the locust plague been abated by Li Er's words? It is not known, but the historical records record that after Li Er swallowed these locusts, the locust plague retreated. But no matter what it is, the most important thing now is food, and the consequences of not having food will be very strict, even more severe than the locust plague.

So Li Er then had a headache about the food, and even hoped that the runaway kid could bring him good news, the granaries around Chang'an had bottomed out, and if there was no food, these people would probably be hungry in a few days, and the food in the surrounding areas was still on the way.

The words are divided into two ends, Li Er's side has no progress, but Li Kuan's progress is gratifying, he spent most of his savings in a small village under a small county town on the edge of Taiyuan, so that the Taiyuan branch once had no money to turnover, thus delaying the progress of the project, but also took the ownership of the charcoal mountain, immediately she He was under the leadership of Wang Sheng, returned to Xiaowangzhuang, went to the mountain for a big circle, turned for more than five hours, from early morning to dark, and then happily returned to the village, Then he didn't stay in the village, so he disappeared from the sight of the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang in the night.

It was night, Li Kuan set off from this small village, regardless of horsepower towards the Fen River more than 100 miles away from here, the amount of water in the Fen River is still very large, and the river width is enough for Li Kuan to do next, of course, Li Kuan has made a lot of money this time, this time it is even bigger than the harvest of the last time in Heishi Mountain, more than 20 million, this time it is more than 50 million, this time it is more than 50 million, this is also because he did not directly expand the scope this time, but only deepened the depth of absorption, so the consumption is not as big as last time, and this time the absorption of energy, The flame on his head was completely transformed into orange and yellow, and it was faintly a little sky blue, which also allowed Li Kuan to roughly deduce the energy volume of this system, I am afraid that one point to fifty million is light red, fifty million to one hundred million is orange yellow, and more than 100 million is sky blue, as for the emerald green and dark purple above the sky blue, I don't know how much it will absorb to transform, but Li Kuan feels that it should not be too different, he has more than 80 million points before and after, less than 90 million, and sky blue has already begun to appear.

The sky was about to dawn, and overnight, Li Kuan felt that on the edge of the Fen River, he took advantage of the day to get things out, otherwise I was afraid that someone would pass by here at dawn, so he boarded the raft that had been prepared earlier, thinking that the center of the river held on, and Li Kuan was not very good at rowing the raft, but he inserted the injured Artemisia straight into the bottom of the river, and then the strength of the riverbed, he would still be able to prop it forward, besides, he was not ready to row the raft all the time, he had to do something else in the middle of the river.

Soon came to the middle of the river, the night was vast, there were a few stars twinkling on the sky, looming in the clouds, the clouds were high, but not afraid of rain, Li Kuan chose something to exchange in his heart, and began the world's greatest magic show, a big boat was transformed by him, slowly appeared on the Fen River, the bow appeared first, in front of Li Kuan's raft, touched the water, and slowly slid out, like two space faults, a big ship that did not belong to this space, Just squeezed out of the cracks. The ship was very large, and the striking angles of the bow reflected the faint starlight in the night, still showing its solidity and sharpness. There was also the seal-like sign on the edge of the ship, a large skull, and underneath it were two more crossed bone sticks, which was a pirate emblem. Of course, I don't know if pirates in this era used this, in short, Li Kuan's ship is the most advanced ship he can handle now, with a length of nearly 50 meters, a width of more than 20 meters, and a height of nearly 30 meters. There are also three sets of sails on the ship, the main mast in the middle is more than 20 meters high, and all the canvases hanging on it have been put away, leaving only the masts towering. There were holes on both sides of the ship, where the weapons were placed, and Li Kuan imagined that a cannon with a door was placed. However, this era did not allow the appearance of artillery, and gunpowder appeared, but the process of forging steel did not meet the standards of casting artillery. So only one door and eight bull crossbows can be placed, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. And the places where people lived in the cabin, as well as the warehouses where the goods were stacked, were all loaded with grain by Li Kuan, and sacks of wheat were bulging. It was a miracle to see the big boat with a deep draft descend smoothly on the Fen River, without even a trace of waves.

After Li Kuan released the big boat, he climbed up and threw the anchor down so that it would not float away along the river, and then got off the boat, boarded the raft and once again held himself up towards the river, this time he was going to call someone, and he couldn't drive the boat back by himself, which required someone to handle the boat. He threw these things to the old shopkeeper, Taiyuan is not far from the Yellow River, and there are many men who beg for a living on the water, so they have been properly arranged a long time ago. These people have been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Li Kuan to call, and then they can go down the Fen River, all the way to Luoyang, and it will be easy to do when they get to Luoyang, because Hou Junji was assigned there as a garrison, Li Kuan can still ask him for help, and now Hou Junji can be said to be very hopeful that there will be a chance to show Xiàn. Since the last time Shuo Fang was lost by him, he was exiled to Luoyang, although Li Er didn't blame him, but he felt that Li Er was snubbing him, but what could he do? After all, it was his fault, if he hadn't put Wang Kuang's jade pendant on his waist, there would have been no betrayal of Wang Yi, which Hou Junji has always blamed himself.

The sky was bright, the big boat on the Fen River was discovered, a large group of people stood on the shore, all talking about it, they didn't know where this big ship came from, and such a big ship, the entire Tang Dynasty may not be able to build it, the Wuya big ship of the former Sui is only more than ten meters high, and the length is only more than thirty meters, which was also a sensational big ship at that time. I'm afraid that only Yang Guang's Water Temple Dragon Boat can be compared with this ship, this is just a comparison of size, and this ship looks like a battleship, the collision angle of the bow of the ship, the sharp edge, is simply terrifying.

When Li Kuan's people arrived, it had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and Li Kuan's hundred and ten men struggled to squeeze through the crowd, only to go to the river and see the scene he didn't want to see. (To be continued......)
