"Xianggong, you hold my hand, how can I undress you"

Chu Qingchen felt the hot temperature on her hands, and the rough calluses on the palms of the man's long-term martial arts practices rubbed against the back of her hands, crispy and numb, and her heart was pounding.

She wanted to do her duty as a lady to serve her husband to change her clothes and make up for him, but she waited for her to wash her feet on weekdays.

Couples should be mutual. She wanted to show it too.

"The lady thinks about undressing her husband in the middle of the day, is it because the husband didn't satisfy the lady last night?"

Shen Mochu knew that she didn't mean that, so he deliberately opened his mouth to tease her, grabbed her hand and put it on the black belt around his waist, and pressed her hand to untie the belt.

"I'll ignore you if you're talking like that"

Chu Qingchen was reminded by his words, thinking of his madness last night, her face was flushed and hot, avoiding his gaze, and the movement of untying the belt in her hand accelerated.

Shen Mochu looked at the sudden flush on her face, the whole person was more delicate and charming, the two were so close, the fragrant breath of the woman's body lingered on the tip of his nose, his body was hot, and his throat rolled.

I just touched her last night, and I want it again this time, Shen Mochu suppressed his impulse, the last time a woman left the palace because of this, he promised her that she would be temperate and would do what she said.

The belt on his body had been untied by the woman's small hands, and he used the excuse to change his clothes so that he could stay away from her and relieve the dryness of his body.

In the blink of an eye, September passed, October ushered in the annual autumn harvest, the people planted more than half a year of grain, just waiting for this month's autumn harvest, save enough food for the winter, and the rest can be sold for money to supplement the family.

Chu Qingchen had previously instructed Yi Jianmei to buy a lot of fields in various places, and the fields were all planted by hired people. She doesn't have to worry about the autumn harvest, she hires someone for the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, she has a lot of grain, and plans to give some of it to a cut of plums to help the poor people, and give them grain to help them survive this winter.

The people in all parts of Dacheng are busy with the autumn harvest in the past few days, and when they are harvesting wheat in the wheat field, the black locusts from the sky who don't know where they come from fly towards the wheat field.

The locusts covered half of the sky from a distance, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.

"Look, it's locusts, locusts are coming into the field, they want to eat our food, and we big guys are working together to get rid of it"

One of the strong men in the wheat field was the first to spot the locusts, and he had already set an example by raising the scythe in his hand to cut at the locusts.

There were too many locusts, and he couldn't drive them away with his own strength, and many villagers who were cutting wheat around reacted and joined the team to drive away the locusts with sickles.

However, there are too many locusts that they can drive away, and the more they catch up, the more locusts gather from all directions, and they can't see the blue sky and white clouds as far as they can see.

The locusts flew into the wheat fields, and the faces of the peasants who were about to harvest the wheat fields with scythes were full of despair.

"Oh my god! God doesn't open his eyes, he is about to have a bumper harvest, what kind of locust plague is there to make us, how can we ordinary people live without food? ”

The old woman couldn't help but sit on the ground and howl.

The rest of the people were also struck by these words, and all the locusts flew into the fields, and the food they had worked so hard to grow turned out to be cheaper for these pests.

How can they survive the cold winter without grain at home, and they howl when they think of this.

Chu Qingchen was in the courtyard of the palace, for some reason she felt uncomfortable, she pinched her fingers and counted that the whole person was not good in an instant, and her heart was sullen as if there were thousands of catties of boulders blocked in her chest.

The national fortunes of Dacheng are facing a crisis, and the lives of the people are becoming more and more difficult.

Chu Qingchen hurriedly drank his saliva slowly, if this was the case, it would be too terrifying.

Chu Tianming and Xiao Douding came back from the Hanlin Academy.

"Sister doesn't know where so many locusts flew from, even the palace can see locusts everywhere, sister, you said it shouldn't be a locust plague?"

Chu Tianming read a lot and knew the horror of the locust plague. Now is the autumn harvest season, if there is a locust plague, what kind of work do the people have without food, and they must not starve to death?

Thinking of this, Chu Tianming also knew the seriousness of the matter, and his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he couldn't stretch it.

Chu Qingchen sighed, he didn't expect the locust plague to rise so quickly, locusts flew into the palace, and the palace didn't know why there were no locusts.

Shen Mochu came back from the court with a sad face.

Xianggong looked at his face badly, did something happen in the palace? I heard from my brother that locusts can be seen everywhere in the palace."

Chu Qingchen greeted him and asked.

Shen Mochu couldn't ease his face when he saw her, and there was a gloom between his eyebrows that couldn't be resolved.

"Chenchen is saying that there are locust plagues in various places this morning, and this is about to be harvested, and the locust plague is together, the people have no harvest, and the state cannot collect grain, let alone grain tax."

"Did the emperor store a large amount of grain, how much grain on the market was all levied and stored in the Dacheng National Grain Depot, so as not to have a large amount of grain stored by rich and noble families, and there was also to avoid that the grain in the store could not be eaten when it was available, and the grain was sold at a high price, and the big families could afford to spend silver to buy grain, but the people at the bottom were suffering, and they couldn't afford to buy high grain prices, so they were waiting to be starved to death

A large amount of grain can be distributed to the prefects of various counties and towns in the grain depots, and the people are asked to buy grain from the prefects, which is still the usual price, and those who really can't afford it can also donate it, but the purchase of grain must be limited, and the people must ensure that they do not starve to death, not to let them eat enough."

Chu Qingchen proposed a solution, she also had no way, now there is a locust plague, thinking of exterminating locusts, and the food cannot be saved, they are all plagued by locusts.

"Chenchen, what you said and I thought about it together, I played the emperor in the early dynasty to store a large amount of grain, and then distributed the grain to the prefects according to demand, and sold by the prefects, but the places affected by the locust plague are not one or two places, most of the Dacheng country has been affected by the locust plague, and the existing food on the market is probably not enough for the people to eat, and there will be little left before the cold winter, and I don't know how many people can't survive this cold winter."

Shen Mochu was worried that the little emperor had just succeeded to the throne and there was a locust plague, so as to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, don't lose the people's hearts because of the locust plague.

What he is most worried about is that there will be a situation of changing children and eating in a famine year, and the same kind of people will be used as food if they are hungry, and they should not test human nature in a famine year.

Chu Qingchen was calculated by her that the national fortunes of Dacheng Country were going downhill, and it was impossible to resist unless it was human, even if the locust plague was solved, there would be other disasters.

She was depressed in her heart, and now she was even more worried about Shen Mochu's locust plague, and she didn't say anything about the things she calculated, which made her even more annoying.

She had a big thing in her heart, but she didn't take into account the problem of lack of food.
