Ever since Cheng Yuan heard Steward Liu talk about grasshoppers, he was stunned at night, and even said grasshoppers in the middle of the night when he was lying on the bed, and Princess An Cheng under his body looked at him coldly with beautiful eyes.

Cheng Yuan propped up his arms, looked down at her, and said solemnly: "I remembered the hexagram I used to calculate with my master last night.

At that time, it was said that in May and June four or five years later, there would be locusts in Shandong and other places, and locusts would come all over the world to eat the crops in Shandong, and even the trees and weeds would be eaten at that time. ”

[In the first year of Yongle, the great flood in the south of the Yangtze River, Xia Yuanji went to control the water, in May and June, the locust plague in Shandong, there were people with bad intentions, it was rumored that it was His Majesty's punishment for Fengtianjing, and only Zhu Di returned the government to Zhu Yunwen's other sons to stop it. In the first year of Yongle in history, Zhu Di was directly exempted from Shandong's summer tax. 】

"You said there was a locust plague in May or June this year?"

An Cheng hugged his neck and looked at the person above him thoughtfully, how could she think it could be counted as a few years ago?

Although he knew that he was often clever in doing things, An Cheng still doubted the authenticity of Cheng Yuan's dream.

It's not that she doesn't believe what Cheng Yuan said, but that this kind of thing will anger her father and emperor if she says it, in case something unexpected happens.

The cabinet and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military associations used the hat of bewitching the public to directly button Cheng Yuan, and he finally escaped from death, and now he is talking nonsense.

It has only been the first year of Yongle, and now is the time when people everywhere need to pay attention and live a stable life, so they need to be more cautious.

Only he knows about this matter, and if he doesn't tell anyone else, he should be fine, just think he's too tired to dream and talk.

But when she thought that many of the things that Cheng Yuan said before would come true, she was very conflicted, just like when he described the great water in the south of the Yangtze River, even the place was described very accurately.

The locust plague in Shandong must be a detrimental thing to the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of the lack of harvest of crops, An Cheng, a person who ignores agricultural and political affairs, is also trembling in his heart.

Now that Cheng Yuan has recovered, he has stayed in the Guogong Mansion these days, and he doesn't go out to make trouble, if he is talking nonsense because of these dreams, she will follow him and be afraid.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, I learned the craft of making a living from the master of fortune telling, and then I made a living everywhere and went to the Yanwang Mansion, but I have a good memory, and the hexagram will not be wrong.

He calculated that I would marry a princess, and now I am not married to Your Highness. ”

Cheng Yuan said to her sincerely, coupled with his expression and eyes, his face was serious, which made An Cheng a little dumbfounded.

If it weren't for his injury, and he said it very sincerely, maybe he would have been pushed into bed a long time ago.

Seeing that she was about to ask a question, Cheng Yuan stopped her and said: "There will never be a fake, you can't talk nonsense, how could I not know."

Since I have become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I have to become a brick and tile to shelter the house from the wind and rain, and I believe that the hexagram will not be wrong.

I am willing to gamble with my life once, and I have decided to personally play this matter to Your Majesty tomorrow, and the princess will leave it alone at that time. ”

This is the first time that Cheng Yuan has decided to do something from the first year of Yongle since the success of Jingnan, and he had thought of a countermeasure when he bathed just now.

Thinking of the dry land, the floods and the overwhelming locusts that he saw on TV, he felt that he could not stay out of it, and the thought of this made his scalp tingle.

If you don't give Zhu Laosi a wake-up call, once the floods in Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion hit in summer and April, and the locusts in Shandong in May and June, then Daming will suffer heavy losses in these places.

According to the history books of the Ming Dynasty, [in the summer and April, the household department Shangshu Xia Yuan Jizhi Su, Song, Jia, and the lake flooded. Then in May and June, the Shandong locusts were hunted. In July and August, Henan locusts are exempt from this year's summer tax. 】

Locusts are worse than droughts and floods.

Cheng Yuan retreated, helped her cover the quilt and got up, and before he had time to get dressed, he sat there naked and wrote something to play for Zhu Di tomorrow.

Fortunately, in the early spring, there was a ground dragon in the house, warm as spring, An Cheng frowned a little, is this still the person who tosses himself all day and makes strange poses.

She felt that he was suddenly a little different tonight, a little like the hot-blooded young man who had just entered the Yanwang Mansion two years ago.

Regardless of whether there are floods in April, whether there are locusts in May and June, his pure heart for the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to those literati who chew words and chew words.

Then he got up, put on his clothes, helped him start grinding ink, and then asked the mother-in-law who was on duty at night in the house to bring hot water and make him tea.

Cheng Yuan didn't say anything, picked up the brush dipped in ink and wrote quickly, then drank the tea and handed her the cup.

Cheng Yuan and An Cheng glanced at each other, and then laughed.

She laughed that her colt was not the kind of shady person that Mei Yin and the others did not dare to be.

Cheng Yuan smiled that he finally picked up the heart of serving the country and the people when he was in trouble, this is the meaning of his coming to this Daming, to do something for the people.

would rather be scolded by Zhu Di because of this matter, than leave no regrets, he wants to be a hero in the eyes of his own women.

When he drank the second cup of tea and said that An Cheng was not allowed to interfere and that he would go to tell Zhu Di alone, he was very pitiful and was driven to sleep in the wing.

In this year of Daming, who was still kicked out to sleep by his wife, except for Zhenguogong, Daming should not be able to find a second person.

Yes, Zhu Di was driven out of Kunning Palace by Empress Xu tonight, the reason is that Empress Xu has always wanted to return to Beiping and personally reward the women and children of the people who guarded the city with her.

But Zhu Di was too busy, forget it, he didn't allow Queen Xu to go, saying that the assassination had only passed for a short time, and he was not allowed to go.

Forget it, Zhu Di tentatively said about Xianning and Chengyuan, and Queen Xu felt that this was a bit inappropriate and unfair to An Cheng.

The husband and wife had their own opinions, and Zhu Di went back to the Qianqing Palace with a snort.

Cheng Yuan almost died of laughter here, and suddenly thundered and lightning in the middle of the night, which was considered spring thunder, and An Cheng couldn't sleep in shock, so he ran to sleep with him again.

An Cheng saw that he ignored him, and after slapping his buttocks, Cheng Yuan laughed and teased her, then held her in his arms and slept until dawn.

He thanked this Ray.

The next day, Zhu Bai sat in the hall of the Zhenguo Mansion and asked Cheng Yuan no less than 20 times: "You said that there were floods in Songjiang, Suzhou, and Jiaxing in summer and April?" There will be locusts in Shandong and Henan. ”

Cheng Yuan went to his "friend" Zhu Bai the next day to talk about it, and his good friend Zhu Bai immediately told Zhu Di in the early dynasty.

Zhu Bai followed Cheng Yuan every day, running around to buy grain, make jerky, and teach Cheng Yuan business experience every day.

In order to make money, Cheng Yuan learned from Zhu Bai to open a bookstore in the capital, dictated every day, and his apprentice Yang Xian's nephew served as his "voice translator", neatly wrote a script for him, took it to print, and then sold it.

Even he felt that it was not enough, and used his woman's power to say in the Minbao that there would be floods in several prefectures and counties in Jiangnan a month later, and called on everyone to store some grain and jerky.

It is called the prophecy of the town by the people.

When the storyteller publicized this article, several ministers in the cabinet naturally heard about it, and they wrote to Zhu Di to tell him that cholera was popular with the people.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also felt that after Zhen Guogong had a serious illness, his brain was confused.

even alarmed Queen Xu in the harem.

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Empress Xu wants to ask Cheng Yuanmin about the truth of the newspaper and call for the storage of grain, dried meat and other things.

Cheng Yuan went to see his mother-in-law very well-behaved, and by the way, he pulled Queen Xu's most beloved son and daughter to use him as a shield.
