Chapter 144: The Insect Plague is Coming

Yu Wenyu is the daughter of Yu Wen Yanlin's brother, but this brother is indeed half-brother.

His elder brother, Congwen, inherited his father's title and was made an earl.

A few years ago, the situation in Dongyue was turbulent, because of his meritorious service in defending Dongyue, he was deeply trusted by the emperor, and was appointed to become the regent in danger.

He grew up watching his niece, who will turn sixteen at the end of this year.

It didn't take long for Yu Wenyu to be led into the door by the housekeeper, "Uncle, I don't know what you called your niece for?" ”

Yuwen Yanlin asked, "Do you know that you want to be the queen?" ”

Yu Wenyu first lowered her head, then raised it slightly, and smiled: "My niece knew yesterday that not long after the next dynasty, someone from the palace came to issue an edict. ”

She was very afraid of her uncle in her heart, and besides, there was a contradiction between her uncle's family and her own family, so in front of Yuwen Yanlin, Yuwenyu could only pretend to be obedient and did not dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

Yuwen Yanlin stared at Yuwen Yu's eyes and asked, "Oh? Then do you want to marry the emperor? ”

Yu Wenyu said obediently: "My niece has been blessed by the Holy Grace to be able to enter the court as a queen, which is a blessing for my niece......"

Yuwen Yanlin noticed that Yuwen Yu's eyes were a little evasive, so he said: "You don't compare these official words, if you don't want to marry the emperor, the uncle will make the decision for you!" ”

Who knows, when Yu Wenyu heard this, she directly knelt on the ground, it is hard to imagine how determined a weak woman is to kneel directly regardless of the pain.

Yu Wenyu said: "Uncle Qiyu, my niece will never think like this!" After the niece marries the emperor, she will definitely become the uncle's right-hand man, and the niece will be of great use in the future. ”

The corners of Yuwen Yanlin's mouth twitched, feeling that Yuwen Yu really wanted to marry the little emperor.

Since the persuasion was unsuccessful, there was only another way.

"Okay, you go back first!" Yuwen Yanlin said.

Yu Wenyu squatted slightly, and said after saluting: "Uncle, niece will go back first!" ”

"Hmm." Yuwen Yanlin hummed softly.

Yuwen Yanlin said: "Housekeeper! ”

The housekeeper said, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

Yuwen Yanlin: "Go and let people check, has Yuwenyu been in frequent contact with anyone recently?" ”

Butler: "Yes!" ”

……

The next day, the morning meeting.

A minister handed over an excerpt, saying that after the flooding of the Yellow River, there were many insect plagues, and now the people are not able to make a living.

Chen Xiaocheng's eyes suddenly lit up, wow, this is a major matter related to people's livelihood, if it is solved, it will definitely help her to complete the task.

"Insect plague? What kind of bugs? ”

The Ministry of Industry said: "This kind of insect has never been seen in the Dongyue Empire, it seems to be an alien species, it can survive in the water, and it will not die on land, and it reproduces very quickly, and it is good at burrowing, which seriously affects the problems of farmland water storage, and this insect will destroy the roots of crops and let them die. ”

Chen Xiaocheng glanced at the ministers: "Well, Zhong Aiqing has a good plan?" ”

Someone said: "Why don't you send someone to sprinkle medicine on the farmland and kill these insects?" ”

As soon as these words fell, a minister immediately replied.

"Sprinkle medicine? There is still half a month, which is the season of grain harvesting, at this time, the pesticides are gone, but the grain is afraid that it is also poisonous, who will eat such poisonous rice? ”。

The man replied impassionedly: "If you can't sprinkle the medicine, then send soldiers to catch these insects, and then dig pits and bury them!" ”
