"It's the emperor, not the eldest grandson?" Fan Jingjing asked in surprise.

Because Fan Jingjing has a close relationship with the royal family, the eunuchs who came out to deliver the decree were also more polite to Fan Jingjing.

"It's the emperor's summons!"

Fan Jingjing frowned, the emperor's summoning of that representative is "political affairs", when can "political affairs" be related to a woman?

"Could it be that the emperor began to care about the education of his children? They don't seem to be doing well lately? It's normal for learning to be fast and slow, right? ”

Fan Jingjing first self-examined. For her, the arrival of a client's parents will definitely have an impact on her business, not to mention, there is only one client parent.

Although she does not rely on the salary of the client's parents to live, the manpower provided by the other party can reduce her current pressure.

For her, these manpower are priceless.

At this stage, it is still necessary to please the parents of the client.

She hopes to be able to survive this period of time soon, truly be able to become independent, run Fan's Manor without relying on external forces, and achieve the next stage of goals and self-sufficiency. And then cross over to having a surplus.

Although there are several workshops now, they are still in the stage of burning grain and have not crossed to the next step.

"Fan Jingjing has seen His Majesty and Niangniang."

Although there were seven or eight people in the palace, the others were all invisible figures, and Fan Jingjing had to pretend that these people did not exist, and the only ones who were qualified to drive them out were the emperor and the eldest grandson empress.

"I have heard from the queen that you have foreseen this plague of locusts through my sons and daughters, and warned of the following drought...... How can you be sure that a drought will happen? ”

Fan Jingjing rolled her eyes in her heart, if the theory could explain it, she would have told everyone in Datang a long time ago.

The reason why she knew was that the drought was too big this time, and it happened in Chang'an, so history has been recorded and a lot of ink has been written, but it is also a good thing that Li Shimin was able to realize the occurrence of the disaster as soon as possible.

The disaster did not happen in the entire Datang realm, if the grain could be transported from other places earlier, at least Za Qun would not be so miserable.

As long as the people who have to buy food to eat can buy a little food, they will be able to survive until the next spring blossom. The Guanzhong region will not go through a major reshuffle.

It can also allow Datang's population to maintain stable growth.

Historically, various factors have caused the population of Datang to remain at a low ebb.

The number of people cannot even reach the number in the early Han Dynasty, which is also the importance of Li Shimin occupying such a large amount of land and having no way to operate further.

Even if he wants to emigrate, Li Shimin is also moving the population to the Guanzhong area, in order to increase the population, the imperial court let women maintain the practice of early marriage, as everyone knows, women marry too early, pregnancy and childbirth, will only increase the mortality rate of women, but also make the quality of children, quality poor.

If Fan Jingjing can come up with theoretical data, she will definitely present the data in front of the emperor and strive to postpone her marriage.

In private, Fan Jingjing felt that she was still young, but she didn't want to enter the palace of marriage too early.

But she clearly found that if she continued to be a commoner, her marriage would become an officially assigned job.

Marriage is an important issue for a girl, no matter what era it is.

Fan Jingjing doesn't want her marriage to be in the hands of others.

Fan Jingjing also knows that as long as things are related to national policies, it is not so easy to change, because everything involves the interests of many people, and there will be no change.

For those who don't want to raise a girl at home, marrying off their daughter early can reduce some losses, and use marrying their daughter to earn some money to come back and add a dowry to their son.

Fan Jingjing looked up at the sky, thinking about how to complete the ghost, she was not naturally good at things that required imagination, not to mention that in her time, the theory of ghosts and gods was not very popular.

She really wanted to say scientific arguments, but the result of all scientific studies in later generations was that everyone believed in science, so the research and theories put forward by scientists were actually only a few people who thoroughly studied the causal relationship, and most people believed the results when they got them.

But Li Shimin is certainly not this kind of person, for those who control a country, when making any decision, they must be careful and careful, and if you want to believe that a person must also go through all kinds of research.

If Fan Jingjing told an unsatisfactory lie, instead of Li Shimin seeing through it, she would have died a miserable death.

That piece of land, Li Shimin can give her.

It can also be taken back.

In other words, it is the emperor who is talking about it.

If you disobey the emperor, you are breaking the law, and you will be punished by the law. Being punished by the law and destroying the house was a simple thing in the feudal era, and it was also a matter of course.

In Fan Jingjing's view, in the end, the official will have to raid his house and destroy the door in the end.

In fact, the nobles who live a more subtle life can still live with this dynasty for a long time.

It's just that people who can get ahead in history seem to have to go through a lot of raids.

There are so many girls in Liyuan, how many families are officials and don't exist to the point of death, Fan Jingjing really wants to count them.

In the feudal era, it wasn't like you didn't do anything wrong. If your entire family doesn't do anything wrong, then it's really fine.

Since what you do will affect the whole family, everyone must weigh it before doing it.

And then not everyone has the IQ to see the whole picture, and in many cases, people can only see one acre and three points of land in front of them.

In fact, Fan Jingjing has already said that the locust plague has occurred. Signs of drought are already evident. The spring ploughing in Guanzhong is very bad because there is no rain to irrigate.

The waterwheel is not a new invention, there are already some wealthy families in Datang who own waterwheels, but the scope of irrigation that waterwheels can reach is still very limited, and many fields are not next to the river, which is the so-called Kantiantian.

Even next to the river, the water level drops due to the long period of no rain, and in this case, fights for the water level occur from time to time.

If you don't fight, you can't do it, and without water, everyone will starve to death.

It is not only the common people who are affected, but also many high-ranking officials and wealthy households.

Even if it is a high-ranking official, many families have thousands of hectares of fertile land, people in this era have money, they desperately buy land, although the crops grown in the land, the amount of feedback that can be obtained is not much, but it is always a stable income, not to mention the lack of money, the land in hand can also be sold as assets.

There is no better place of value for all than land.

What's more, Datang's taxes are not for acres, but for people, and owning larger land is not too much of a loss.

The most troublesome thing for them now is probably the matter of finding someone to plow the land.

In the first year of Tang Zhenguan, the population was still very scarce, and the population density was extremely low.

The productivity of the land is also extremely low, and the technology mentioned in the books has not been completely spread in this piece of land in Guanzhong.

In Fan Jingjing's observation, the most primitive way of farming still accounts for the majority. It's not that they don't want to plow the land in a more advanced way, it's that they can't afford those tools.

Or maybe the scope of their life is too narrow, and beyond the next village, it is not within their vision.

They are busy from morning to night, and when it is time to rest at night, they can't afford candles, so they have to go to bed early.

Naturally, they did not have time to go out of their villages.

In the future, many things that she couldn't imagine are being staged in Datang.

Now Fan Jingjing already has a flushing toilet, although Fan Jingjing doesn't know much technology, but just like a flushing toilet, in fact, many things, people are just separated by a layer of membrane, after piercing this membrane, their lives can progress rapidly, and there is no need for science and technology at all.

The more life-like things are, the more so.

"Master Fan?" Li Shimin's voice rang out.

Fan Jingjing realized that she was starting to think crankily, and she didn't know where she thought of the horizon, she tried to recall the question raised by Li Shimin, and tried to sort out a set of responses.

She is telling the truth, but the truth is not complete, and she cannot be said to be a liar.

For her, Shuiyun Palace represents the world she once lived. Shuiyun Palace is synonymous.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is thinking about how to answer this question?"

But I know that in this era, you and I can't do it in formal response. How to call yourself a big problem has become a big problem.

She thought that her teacher, who was the prince and princess, had been given the position of young master. Barely an official.

She didn't want to use the term concubine, so after thinking about it for a long time, she still called herself Weichen.

"Oh, what else is there to hide from Master Fan?"

"It's not something unspeakable, in our Shuiyun Palace, everyone knows it...... There is a book that records the celestial phenomena of ancient and modern times, and I was fortunate enough to witness it, and it happened to turn to the celestial phenomena of the first year of Zhenguan......"

Fan Jingjing's words were very vernacular, but there was too much hidden news for Emperor Zhenguan in what she said.

Who wrote this book? Can you predict what will happen in the first year of Zhenguan? If you can predict what will happen this year, will you predict what will happen next?

There is another possibility, Fan Jingjing is lying.

For Emperor Zhenguan, the latter choice is more credible.

However, Emperor Zhenguan unconsciously chose to believe in the former.

But how is this possible?

"Who wrote that book?"

"It was done by gathering the strength of everyone, and there are a lot of people in Shuiyun Palace who have invested in this work, I originally thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true......"

"You think that's nonsense? Then why did you use all the money you got to buy food? ”

Fan Jingjing was so debunked that the lie was exposed, but this lie was exposed, it was no big deal.

"I remember the forecast for the year, and if it is true, if I don't prepare some food, won't I be starved to death?"

Fan Jingjing is a woman, so naturally she doesn't need to talk to ordinary officials.

However, she can't smile at Li Shimin and develop her charm.

She is afraid that Li Shimin will take a fancy to herself, you must know that when Li Shimin took a fancy to Wu Zetian, Li Shimin was already an old man, and Wu Zetian was younger than his current age.

I heard that Wu Zetian's previous name was Wu Meiniang. Her appearance really had a kind of charm when she was a child.

Although Fan Jingjing is also a stunning beauty, her appearance is relatively dignified, if it were not for the delicate appearance of her little daughter, the charm would not be revealed.

In front of Li Shimin, she tried her best to be serious in line with her age. However, with what she said, it made Li Shimin feel a little funny.

In fact, when Li Shimin was young, especially when Empress Changsun was still by his side, although he would also spoil the beauties of the harem, for him, stabilizing the government and expanding the territory was more important than other things.

As for the career of playing with beautiful women, it is just leisure for him.

Until old age, the whole world has been stabilized, and the government is also in order, although there are rebellions from time to time, but these rebellions have not hurt the muscles and bones, and it is also something that can be easily solved for him.

It's just a matter of hurting feelings, these rebels were all the ones who supported him at the beginning, which made Li Shimin feel a little sentimental about the things around him unconsciously.

At the same time, Li Shimin also fell into all men's problems, sex.

That's why some people say that older people quit it.

"Are you sure that the drought will happen?"

"The locust plague has happened, and if you believe that what the book says is true, then the drought will happen."

"I want to read that book too......"

"Weichen didn't bring it here, it's the treasure of Shuiyun Palace."

Li Shimin did not ask Fan Jingjing how to solve the drought, but only asked about the scope of the drought.

It's a pity that Fan Jingjing didn't know anything, and could only know that there would be a big drought in the Guanzhong area. She didn't know about the rest of the world.

As long as all the regions of the Tang Dynasty were not in drought, Li Shimin believed in the operational ability of the imperial court, and although it could not completely solve the problem, it could still reduce the impact of the drought. She didn't continue to ask Fan Jingjing about the drought.

Instead, ask him about the biggest headache in front of him.

Maybe Li Shimin didn't know why she asked Fan Jingjing. Maybe it was just a casual question, but I didn't expect Fan Jingjing to really give Li Shimin an answer that could ease the problem a little.

"There is no solution to the plague of locusts, and when she is so large that she cannot eat, he will starve to death.

Still, there are a few things we can try.

All insects are light-concentrating, so we can light a fire in the wild at night, at least some of which can be burned.

There are also locusts that are a nutritious food for chickens and ducks. Although the crops in the field will be eaten, but relatively raising some chickens, ducks and geese, it can still increase some production, and it is also a good way to sell chickens, ducks and geese for food.

And the most important point is that locusts are food in themselves, and they are a delicacy, and it is very delicious to peel off the skin and fry it to eat the protein in it.

By the way, Wechen can buy some locusts...... However, Weichen doesn't have much food, if His Majesty can borrow some food from Weichen......"
