Chapter 14: The Locust Plague
After Li Yong and Li Lizhen separated, the next day Li Lizhen took the two of them to Li Yong's small courtyard as promised, when the two saw each other, they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when they remembered the hot scene yesterday, a man and a woman behind Li Lizhen were like a kilowatt light bulb shining, looking at her hostess's demeanor was even more puzzled, when did the eldest princess of the dignified empire have such a little daughter, she really lived for a long time, and she felt that the man in front of her was nothing special, compared to those handsome sons in Chang'an City, it was far worse, the two looked at Li Yong and Li Lizhen, That head is like the special effect after using a certain brand of shampoo.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"
This embarrassing scene was broken by Li Yong, although Li Yong felt that as long as he was not embarrassed, he didn't need to be afraid, but there were still two people around Li Lizhen who were looking at the two of them like monkeys, so they couldn't break the atmosphere.
"Free ...... Excuse me, this is my personal maid Chunlan, this is Gundam, my guard. ”
"Gundam? What model are you? ”
Li Lizhen has begun to get used to Li Yong's nonsense from time to time, but what Li Yong thinks in his heart is that this name is domineering.
"Li Yong, don't mess around, in a few days, my father will inspect the armaments, maybe through Chang'an Township, or not, but be careful in everything, Chunlan and Gouda I leave it to you, they usually contact you and me, if you need anything, you can also arrange for them to do it, you can definitely rest assured, Chunlan Gouda, you will stay by Li Gongzi's side in the future, you have to do his words with all your heart, understand?"
Looking at Li Liqian's calm and calm expression, a momentum of the superior still rose, Li Yong had to admire Li Er's strong genes, Li Lizhi is not only beautiful, but also has a genius IQ and EQ, usually just deceived by her peerless appearance and gentle appearance, this kind of woman is not easy to mess with, because a woman like Li Lizhi is usually gentle like water, but her personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
"Yes!"
Chunlan and Gundam saluted Li Lizhen and then walked towards Li Yong to salute him, Li Yong clearly saw the appearance of the two of them, although Chunlan did not have Li Lizhen's unique royal temperament and peerless appearance, but in the most open Tang Dynasty in all dynasties, the wearing of this full-breasted skirt was a proper crime, plus Chunlan belonged to the kind of slightly chubby type and had that sweet smile, just like the modern Internet celebrity slightly chubby sweet girl, Li Yong didn't dare to look at her for a while, although Li Li's quality was more than one star less than Chunlan's beauty, in fact, it has its own advantages, Li Yong looked at the sturdy black man again, the explosive muscles and burly figure, standing as steady as Mount Tai as a pine and cypress, and the whole body still exuded a battlefield aura, Li Yong knew that the strong man in front of him should be a tough guy who came down from the battlefield, Li Yong let the two of them be exempt, and then patted Gundam's sturdy shoulder and nodded, very satisfied.
"Thank you, princess, the princess of hard work came to the grass people's burrow in person, and there is nothing to entertain, the grass people will pour you a bowl of water to drink."
Hearing the drink, Li Lizhi jumped up in an instant like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and waved her hand in a panic and said.
"No...... No, this palace is not thirsty. ”
Chunlan and Gundam looked at each other, thinking in their hearts why their master was so nervous to drink water, could it be that they disliked Li Yong's water was not clean? It is possible that the two of them will start a wonderful brainstorming, if Li Yong knows what they think, Li Yong's first reaction will definitely be to kill people, Li Lizhi muttered quietly.
"Who's going to drink your water?"
"What did you say, Your Highness Princess?"
"It's nothing, Li Yong will start arranging your plan."
Because of the distance from the station, Li Lizhen muttered quietly, the three of them didn't hear it, Li Yong asked Li Lizhen to sit down, and he lay on the rocking chair, shaking comfortably, the three of them waited for a long time and didn't see Li Yong speak and react, Chunlan asked in a low voice.
"He's not going to be asleep, is he?"
"Well, probably not, I think he's supposed to be dead."
“……”
Li Lizhen and the three of them thought that Li Yong was thinking about the problem, and it was not good to disturb his train of thought, and after waiting for a long time, they heard a snoring sound from the rocking chair, and the angry Li Lizhen pulled out the sword on his waist to cut him, Chunlan and Gundam quickly stopped Li Lizhen from cutting Li Yong, after all, neither of them was a fool, and they saw that their master and this new master must have some unknown secrets, this time they guessed correctly, since yesterday's enthusiastic gaze, although they did not complete the final blow, it also kept Li Lizhen awake that night, When he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, Li Yong's appearance and the embarrassing look in the valley were met, and Li Yong didn't sleep all night, but it wasn't like Li Lizhen, he sorted out his previous opportunities all night to make modifications, and finally fell asleep, and Li Lizhen brought someone here.
The three of them couldn't bear to disturb Li Yong, who was sleeping Zhengxiang, but looking at Li Li's anxious appearance, Gundam had to bite the bullet to wake up Li Yong, Gundam gently patted Li Yong's shoulder and called Li Yong softly, Li Yong was still running with Li Lizhen in his dream on the beautiful prairie, how happy the picture was, suddenly Li Yong saw the endless grass thundering, and Li Liqian, who was holding his hand, was taken away by a black-faced god, Li Yong woke up in shock, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gundam's black face, The frightened Li Yong did not hesitate to smash Huanglong directly, and gave Gundam an iron fist of love in person, "Oops! With a bang, Gundam squatted on the ground with one hand to cover the attacked eye and drew a circle, and Chunlan hurried over to see if he was okay.
"Damn, I'm scared to death, Gundam I'll tell you, Lao Tzu is good at killing people in his dreams, and next time it won't be a fist."
Li Lizhi was also made to cry and laugh by Li Yong's unreasonable momentum, what kind of dream is so murderous, do you think you are Cao Mengde? People Gundam kindly woke you up, and you punched people indiscriminately, who did he say to him if he was wronged?
"Don't talk nonsense, the other Gundam is also going to wake you up, you are still unreasonable."
"It's not wrong to wake me up, it's wrong for him to scare me, it's not his fault for being ugly, it's wrong for being ugly and scary."
Listening to Li Yong's set of crooked reasoning and heresies, the three of them were also drunk, Li Lizhi hurriedly interrupted Li Yong's chattering iron mouth and copper teeth, she knew that Li Yong's mouth was the dead and the living.
"Don't make a fuss, let's come over to discuss the next thing, you're good, sleep by yourself, and leave the palace aside, what's the matter? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'm not done with you. ”
Li Lizhi pulled out the sword on his waist and inserted it into the ground for three points with a single insertion, Li Yong saw that Li Lizhi had drawn his sword, so it was not good to tease her anymore, so he quickly said seriously.
"That's the case, I didn't sleep all night last night, so I fell asleep, I'm sorry everyone, Chunlan, you will still follow Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in the future, your identity is more convenient to hide than Gundam, because you are the personal maid of the eldest princess, you can convey anything to Gundam on the princess's side, and Gundam will pass it on to me, understand?"
"Yes!"
Chunlan and Gundam saluted at the same time, Li Yong glanced at Gundam, and couldn't help admiring this guy, he was hit in the eye by a heavy artillery fist from himself, and there was nothing wrong with it, it was amazing.
"Let's not move over there in Chang'an City for the time being, it's not time yet, Gundam will gather people around the countryside tomorrow, and there should be difficult people after a while, I remember right, the locust plague is coming."
"What? Locusts? Are you telling the truth? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be, so Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, you have to rush back to Chang'an immediately, inform the saint and the ministers of the court to get ready, especially the food reserves, I hope it will be in time."
Hearing Li Yong say that there would be a locust plague, Li Lizhen's faces changed greatly, Chunlan and Gao Da didn't know what Li Yong said, although Li Yong looked very out of tune, but Li Lizhen knew that Li Yong would not be untargeted, Li Lizhen hurriedly asked.
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Yes, but I don't know if I can do it."
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
Looking at Li Li's anxious and cute appearance, Li Yong exclaimed, I fell in love.
"In fact, this disaster can be avoided, as for the way to avoid it is divided into four ways, the first is more unrealistic, that is, the imperial court issued a farming restriction order, that is, restricting the people from arricultural, there is no food in the field, and the locusts can not reproduce in a larger area, so that the gradual expansion of the locust plague can be limited, and this method is more unrealistic, because the people need to eat, the world needs to be stable, if the cultivation restriction order is issued, I am afraid that there will be an uproar in the world, I am afraid that there will be a rebellion again. The second method is undoubtedly to store grain, the production of locusts, often there are omen, for example, a certain area is the first to appear locusts, or like the weather continues to drought, these situations can predict the emergence of locust plagues, and if you can store grain before the locust plague, it can also reduce the turmoil brought by the locust plague to the world to a certain extent, and the most important thing is that Chang'an, as the center of power, must store grain. The Turks on the grassland like some utensils of the Tang Dynasty very much, and these things can be exchanged for cattle and sheep on the grassland, and if this idea works, the imperial court can also hoard a large number of cattle and sheep, and wait until the locust plague occurs, slaughter and distribution, then this can also alleviate the pressure brought by the locust plague to the survival of the people to a certain extent. ”
Li Lizhen and the three of them were all taken aback after listening to Li Yong's words, where is this the words of a twelve-year-old boy, this is much more powerful than those ministers in the court, Li Lizhen looked at Li Yong's eyes and almost turned into little stars.
"Then hurry up and write a recital, and I will go back to Beijing to tell my father immediately."
Li Yong knocked on Li Li's little head and said.
"Are you stupid? You don't think I'm dying fast enough, do you? ”
"Just talk well, why knock on someone's head?"
Li Lizhi covered his head that was knocked by Li Yong and pouted and complained, Li Yong covered his forehead and really wanted to shout, God, earth, let me go, Li Yong felt that Li Lizhen's IQ would not be so low, plus this kind of little daughter's coquettish attitude was very much his life, Chunlan and Gao Da were also frightened by Princess Changle, this demeanor even they saw each other once, this is still the noble eldest princess to a grass people.
"Chunlan, give me a slap, am I dreaming."
"Smack~" Gundam covered his face and looked at Chunlan, Chunlan covered her aching hands, now both of them knew that this was not a dream, but that their eldest princess Her Royal Highness was really coquettish and cute to this man. Li Yong watched the two of them play treasures, didn't bother to pay attention to them, and continued patiently.
"Does it hurt?"
"Don't knock me on the head in the future, you know?"
"Okay."
Now Gundam and Chunlan have completely broken their defenses, how can this be to discuss some big plan, this is a pure on-site sprinkling of dog food, killing single dogs.
"Princess, you forgot that I am a grass people, and I am not qualified to write a recital, not to mention that we didn't say it, we can't expose me, I will only give you advice behind the scenes, this matter, after you go back, you can find the minister who thinks that the court has a good relationship with you and trusts you, you must not go and tell your father and the emperor yourself, understand?"
Li Lizhi calmed down after listening to Li Yong's words, so she nodded, and immediately had a countermeasure in her heart.
"After you go back this time, no matter what happens to the imperial court, you can buy all the grain, buy as much as you can, and then send someone to send it to me, I have my own arrangements."
"Okay, then I'll rush back to Chang'an now."
"Well, you should be careful all the way, don't be reckless in case of trouble, you can let Chunlan come to me."
"Okay, I know, Chunlan, let's go."
Li Yong watched Li Lizhi leave with Chunlan freely, and looked up at the sky again.
"I don't know how many people died this time, alas! Gundam, immediately called the eldest princess to buy food from Luoyang and other places in the fiefdom, don't worry about the money, how much food can be bought, I hope to save one more people. ”
"Command!"
