Time flies, years flies...

Okay, writing this way is indeed a bit exaggerated.

In the blink of an eye, the time of the Tang Dynasty has come to the beginning of March, and the drought predicted by Li Anran was not delayed or not arrived at all because of the so-called butterfly wings. In the blink of an eye, it has ravaged nearly half of the world.

moon.

For places like Xiaoyao Villa, which are close to water sources and have made preparations, the lack of rain for more than half a month will hardly cause any problems. But in places that are far away from water sources and have not made preparations at all, it will

It's a catastrophe.

The most important thing is that after nearly half a month of rain, the unusually sunny weather still has no intention of stopping. It should have been a spring climate with gentle willow wind blowing on the face, but now it has given people a feeling of scorching heat.

Summer feeling.

The lack of rain for more than half a month, for those below, is just an anomaly of God and they are a little worried. But for those who know about it, the current severe drought is far from a real disaster, it is just the beginning.

Chang'an City, the inner palace of the imperial palace...

Looking at the memorials and secret reports handed down one after another from below, Li Shimin's face could no longer be described as ugly. The civil and military ministers who were summoned to the inner hall did not dare to make a sound at this time.

"Auxiliary engine, how is the well digging thing going?" Li Shimin threw the last memorial in his hand back on the mahogany desk in front of him, picked up the cold remaining tea next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, I have arranged for people to go to the drought-stricken counties and villages in the Guan Dynasty to dig wells and collect water. The newly trained well-drilling teams have also been assigned to various severely affected places." Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the chair,

, quickly replied.

"Go back to Xiaoyao Villa and ask... no, please, please, Master Chunyang, think of a way to see if you can get more magical weapons that can dig deep wells. The current ones are simply not enough."

Li Shimin ordered as he nodded.

If he was just doubtful before, Li Shimin was already convinced after seeing that there was no rain for more than half a month. What's more, the agricultural officers sent to the fields also discovered that there was a large-scale insect infestation.

signs of happening.

Dekui had carried out certain preventive measures based on the idea of ​​​​rather trusting what is there than trusting what is not. Finally, the hidden dangers that had arisen near Chang'an City were somewhat controlled. Unfortunately, this was far from enough.

"I obey the order!" Changsun Wuji, who stood up and bowed, quickly accepted the order.

Regarding such a decree, Changsun Wuji was not worried at all. Anyway, he had the great purpose of saving people's livelihood. He was not afraid that the aloof Chunyang Master would not help. Of course, the benefits that should be paid were indispensable.

Although he was still skeptical about the idea that contamination with too much karma would affect his cultivation or even sink him into the mortal world forever. But Changsun Wuji had to admit that with the other party's ability, there was no need to make money in this way.

.

"Knowing the truth, you go back to Xiaoyao Villa with the auxiliary machine and ask the real person if there is any way to stop this locust plague in advance." Li Shimin, who had been worried after learning that signs of locust plague were found in various parts of Guannai Road, ordered again.

road.

As the king of a country, I have to entrust the relief of natural disasters to a real person. Even if this real person is not the kind of person who deceives the world and steals his reputation, and has many methods consistent with his status, it is still difficult to have any positive feelings.

.

"I obey the order." He was just glad that he had made the right choice before, eating a batch of poultry from Xiaoyao Villa, and also using the method of stocking in the village to contain Cheng Yaojin who might face losses in his own village.

, quickly took the order.

In fact, he is not the only one who has the same fortunate thoughts. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde and other insiders have all more or less avoided the consequences of drought and locust plagues, no matter what the reasons are.

trouble.

Although the locust plague has not yet begun, because of awareness, it is easy to find the eggs hidden in the soil. And these have become the best nutritional supplements for the poultry raised in the fields.

Good source.

Compared with the happiness of the ministers, Li Shimin, as the king of a country, is still a little worried. Even if he has learned from someone before that Fu Ji Tai Lai will be here, it will still be very troublesome if he can get through this difficulty.

In Li Shimin's view, things like the locust plague would not be considered a big deal in normal times. But it happened exactly in the second year after he ascended the throne. In this case, it is easy for someone to take advantage of it.

Fight your own weapons.

In particular, his superior methods are indeed a bit unreliable. Once someone catches someone and makes a big fuss about it, it is difficult not to ensure that the situation that has just stabilized will become unstable again. Even if one is not good, it is very likely that a big disaster will occur.

question.

As for what is happening in the inner palace of Chang'an City, Li Anran, who is patrolling his villa, will naturally not know about it. And even if he knows, he probably won't take it to heart. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty is not his own, so I'm afraid

A yarn.

As for the huge impact and harm that this severe drought and locust plague can cause, Li Anran actually knows that there is not much that he can do. In fact, being able to achieve this point is already worthy of his title as Chunyang Master.

Already.

At worst, when the locust plague really comes, I can use some means to help Li Shimin stabilize the situation. Even if it is impossible to solve all the harm this time, it is impossible to help everyone, but it is still worthy of my conscience.

After this period of continuous improvement of various measures to prevent drought and locust plagues, coupled with the rows of large water trucks that continuously deliver water from the river into the canals, the drought for more than half a month has not affected Xiaoyao Villa at all.

What impact does it have.

The pressurized water well in each house not only solves the daily water problem of farmers, but also avoids the problem of excessive consumption of water canals caused by daily water use. According to the current situation, it seems that the drought will continue.

Nothing will happen for a while.

"Steward Wang, ask the people below to pay attention to the situation of the entire pass, especially the signs of the locust plague. If you find anything, you must let me know as soon as possible." Looking at Zheng Huanshi fluttering in the pond not far away.

The ducks and geese, Li Anran ordered.

"Old slave, I understand." At this point, Wang Youde, who has been the housekeeper for so many years, is really in vain if he can no longer see any problems. However, he is very aware of the importance of this matter and does not dare to agree with it at all.

"Also, I asked people to put up notices for purchasing locusts at farmers' markets, commercial streets, and industries in the county. Fresh locusts cost two cents per catty, and dried locusts cost five cents per catty.

Take as much as you want." Li Anran nodded and ordered again.

"Master, this price..." Wang Youde was stunned for a moment and said quickly.

"What? Are the prices low?" Li Anran, who had not paid attention to Datang's price issues for a while, asked.

"Without him, it's not that it's lower, but that it's higher." Wang Youde, who shook his head repeatedly, explained.

"Is it high?" Li Anran asked in shock.

"It's too high, young master. If that thing really happens, this thing is worthless at all. One penny and ten pounds is enough." Wang Youde, who knew that his young master did not pay attention to such trivial matters, nodded and said.

"Ten pounds for one penny?" Li Anran was surprised that the price was too cheap. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, the price is too cheap and it won't attract attention at all. In this way, according to one penny,

The two standards for charging are two catties and one penny per catty. Again, I charge as much as I have."

"Yes, young master, the old slave will start to spread the news throughout the pass." Although he still felt that the price was too high, Wang Youde also heard that the key to this matter was not the price. So he

Without saying anything more, he agreed obediently.
