Chapter 910 (1/2)
The sun is like a ball of fire. It burns people badly. The weather was stifling and there was no wind.
”It's so hot, it's killing me,” said Yuxi as she fanned the child There has been no rain since the last heavy rain. During this period, Yuxi, who is sitting on the moon, is living like a year. Yuxi was able to bear it, but the three children couldn't. I can't help but put a basin of ice in the corner of the bisomb.
Mother Quan handed Yuxi a bowl of red date, tremella and lotus seed porridge and said, ”it hasn't rained for half a month, and the weather is getting sultry. Princess, I'm afraid it's going to be dry. ” This kind of weather is abnormal. It's very hot like last year, but it's not so sultry.
Yuxi drank up a bowl of porridge and said, ”no one can stop those who should come. But it's only half a month now, and it's too early to say it's dry. ”
The whole mammy thought about it and said, ”princess, it was because of the drought that I entered the palace.” At that time, she was only six years old.
Seeing Yuxi looking at her, all mammy said: ”in those years, because of the disaster, the grain production in the field was seriously reduced. If it's just like this, you can still receive two or three percent. But I didn't expect that after the drought there was a plague of locusts. All the food in the field was eaten clean by locusts. ” This is the whole Mammy's life experience.
Yu Xi's face stiffened and said, ”Mammy, do you mean that once there is a drought, there will be a locust disaster immediately?”
Mother Quan nodded and said, ”this situation is certainly not accidental. The princess can check the local chronicles. ”
Yuxi said, ”let's wait until I have the moon!” Yuxi still has three days to have the moon.
Just then, Yunqing stepped in and asked Yuxi, ”have you written to wukuo without telling me?” When Yuxi wrote to wukuo, Xu Wu measured it for a long time and didn't tell Yunqing at last.
Yuxi said, ”I asked Wu Kuo to buy a million stone grains. He should pay for the grain first. What's up? Is it not going well? ”
Yunqing was so angry that he said, ”I didn't say that there was enough food to buy? How can you take my words for granted? ”
Yuxi said to the whole Mammy, ”go and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup and set the king on fire.” The weather is sultry and people are angry.
When mother Quan went out, Yuxi said, ”I was just talking to mother Quan about the fact that it hasn't rained for a while. Mother Quan just told me that drought is often accompanied by locusts
As soon as Yunqing's face changed, he said, ”what? Locust disaster? ” There are three kinds of natural disasters that we are most afraid of: floods, droughts and locusts. If there is a plague of locusts, then the people will have nothing to gain.
Yuxi nodded and said, ”let Tan Tuo and elder brother check the local chronicles to see if there are any records in this respect. If there are more than three such records, we must take precautions. ” Locust transit, no grass left, this shows the terrible locust disaster.
Yunqing hurriedly stood up and said, ”I'm going now.” Finish saying, hurriedly go out. As for why Yuxi asked Wu Kuo to buy food just now, he didn't know where to throw it.
Yuxi shook his head and said to himself, ”what can I do after such an acute son?” Whether it's government affairs or military affairs, we need to be calm and rational enough. Yunqing, however, is far from that level.
When all mammy came in, seeing that Yunqing was gone, she put down the lotus seed soup and said, ”the king is out?” I heard that I was going to check the local chronicles. Mother didn't say anything more.
Tan Tuo and Han Jianming's action was very fast, and they replied to Yunqing at noon. ”Wang Ye, the local chronicles of Shaanxi recorded a total of 12 droughts, seven of which were very serious and accompanied by locusts,” Han said with a solemn face This is a very serious matter for them.
”Although it's only half a month since it rained, it's too early to say there's a drought, but we still need to take precautions,” Tan said I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Yunqing is silent and asks Tan Tuo and Han Jianming, ”do you think there will be a drought?” In fact, up to now, Yunqing hopes that the drought will be a false alarm.
Han Jianming nodded, ”there must be.” Han Jianming is sure that Yuxi is the one who suffered from the drought, not the old farmer. Those old peasants were just used by Yuxi as a cover up.
Tan Tuo said more politely: ”Lord, I asked some old peasants who have been living for many years. They all said that this year's weather is very abnormal, and there is likely to be a drought. ” The people below don't know that there may be a drought. They say that the weather anomaly is based on years of experience.
Yunqing looked a little cold, and after a while said, ”it will take some more time for the millet to mature.” Food is the life of the people. Before the locust disaster, the government forced them to harvest it in advance, and they would not.
Tan Tuo said: ”the millet can be received in the warehouse in half a month at most, which should be OK. What I'm worried about now is that if there is a locust disaster, then the whole Shaanxi will be left without any grass. ”
Han Jianming suddenly asked, ”what did Yuxi say?” It is impossible for Yunqing to think that drought will accompany locust disaster. So this matter is 100% related to Yuxi.
Yunqing shook his head and said, ”Yuxi just asked me to check the local chronicles to see if the drought would accompany the locust disaster.” Yunqing doesn't understand. How could Yuxi know about it.
