Chapter 346

Tai Chi hall, imperial study.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the door, he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he asked, "little noble son, sort out all the folds about locusts for me!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, the little noble son hurried to select one of the memorials in the mountain like memorials.

Li Shimin also sat on the soft collapse and read it one by one.

Locusts broke out in Jiannan road. Locusts are suspected to come from Tubo, and countless Tubo victims are surging like Datang

When seeing this memorial, Li Shimin directly reviewed it on the table and said, "comprehensively and thoroughly investigate the source of locusts and the loss. All the people from Tubo will be expelled!"

Then Li Shimin looked at the next table.

This table is about Shannan road.

Locust disasters broke out in Bazhou, Maozhou, Yazhou and Jiazhou in Shannan Road, causing serious damage to farmland and even signs of locusts eating livestock!

Locusts broke out in many places such as Daohe Prefecture, Yaozhou, Xingzhou and minzhou in Henan Province. With the serious damage of trees, food losses were heavy, but there were no casualties!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at the fold of Longyou road and took a deep breath.

This slowly opened the memorial.

There are only a few words on the memorial.

But each one struck Li Shimin's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Locusts broke out in Kucha city and other places. There are no oases within a thousand miles!"

After seeing here, Li Shimin's heart couldn't help pulling up.

"It is said that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Du Ruhui, hurry into the palace!"

Li Shimin slapped on the recital. Now he looked at five recitals, but there were still dozens on his desk!

What does that mean?

This means that the outbreak of locusts has reached a point of urgency.

But they are basically concentrated near Tubo, and the south of Datang has basically no impact. What does this mean?

This shows that the locust disaster is really like what Zhang Feng said before. The locusts in Datang are basically nothing, but the key lies in the outbreak of locust disaster in Tubo. After the locusts directly devour Tubo, they migrate to Datang for a long time!

Previously, Li Shimin thought that Zhang Feng was talking about the locust disaster next year, and this year's locust eggs were basically cleaned up from Longyou to Chang'an and even in Datang, but he forgot one thing!

That's what Zhang Feng said, the plague of locusts in Tubo!

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly understood why locusts are almost under control this year, and why he said there would be an irreparable disaster next year?

This

He thought this was Zhang Feng's guess, but from these memorials and all the plans for Tibet and Tibet, Li Shimin suddenly felt a kind of pressure.

An irresistible pressure.

A moment later, Wei Zheng and others hurried into the imperial study of Taiji hall.

Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, he bowed his head and thought about something. He didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took.

Li Shimin woke up slowly, looked at the people standing in front of him, waved wearily and motioned them to sit down. Then he said, "how are you investigating the specific situation of the locust plague?"

"When I returned to the emperor and minister, I thoroughly investigated all the towns around Chang'an and found that although the locust disaster was fierce, Chang'an had been prepared for it. Although there was a loss of grain, it was not a grain failure. Now the wheat has been basically harvested, only the corn has been lost. In addition, the cooperative in Chang'an City, basically every family has grain in store..."

"What I asked was locust disaster. I didn't ask anything else!"

Li Shimin interrupted Du Ruhui's report and asked.

Hearing the speech, Du Ruhui took a deep breath: "tell the emperor, this locust disaster... I got the most detailed Memorial. The black locusts will cross the Qinling Mountains and reach Chang'an City in five days!"

"I'm afraid there will be no more crops in Chang'an City..."

"What?"

Five days?

Li Shimin's face suddenly changed.

He hurriedly asked, "what about Longyou road? What about Jiannan road and other places?"

Li Shimin just wants to know whether the locust disaster broke out in an all-round way, or whether the locusts really moved south from Longyou road in Tubo, as he guessed.

But all the information he got made him despair.

Because this locust plague, as he just thought, basically spread from the north to the south!

What does that mean?

That means he still has five days.

"Can you think of any way to resist?"

"Well... The Emperor... The minister and others really thought of a way..."

Fang Xuanling hesitated a little, but seeing that the Emperor didn't say anything, he said tentatively: "the old minister thinks that if this thing uses the chicken and duck army according to the method formulated by brother Zhang Feng before, it may work, but this effect..."

"What's more, since the locust eggs are eaten well, although the locust looks shabby and seeps a little, it should also be able to, so what!"
