”Dad

Xue Lang came back from the outside and immediately got a warm hug and kiss from shuinu baby.

Xue Lang picked up his daughter with a smile and kissed her. He asked with a smile, ”is shuinu good today?”

”Good! My brother is good too

That small appearance amuses Xue Lang to kiss her again, embrace a son to go in.

On the first day of August in the ninth year of Wude, the sage Li Yuan offered sacrifices to his ancestors in the imperial temple, and held a ceremony to celebrate the establishment of the prince's book. Ten days later, the sage Li yuanchan was located in the prince and in Daxing palace. Li Shimin ascended to the throne as emperor. In the next month, he established the eldest son of the crown prince, Chengqian, as the crown prince and Zhenguan of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the same year, he was deprived of the position of commander of Pingyang, the prince of an state, with a salary of three years, and Xue Lang, the Duke of Rui, was given a salary of one year and dismissed! In the spring of the first year of Zhenguan, Xue Lang and Princess Pingyang's nickname tannu were born, and the eldest son of Xue Jingpu was born. Xue Lang lived at home and did not serve in the imperial court.

Xue Lang came back just after he went out to check on the farm.

In the ninth year of Wude, it was a warm winter with hot summer and little rain. The Yellow River Basin was dry, including Guanzhong, where grain production was reduced due to less rainfall. In the first year of Zhenguan, it was also a warm winter. The water surface along the Weishui River dropped more than in previous years. If the rain is still scarce when the rainy season comes next year, the drought will continue.

Xue Lang went out to have a look. Many water trucks have been built around Chang'an city. Due to the developed water conservancy facilities, it can be expected that the grain production will be reduced, but it is not to the point of no grain.

However, Xue Lang is worried about another thing, which is also recorded in history. In order to have something to say, he also went to the field to squat for several days. After careful inspection, he could confirm.

Looking at Xue Lang's frown, Princess Pingyang put tannu in the cradle and asked, ”Why are you so worried?”

Xue Lang said, ”Jianling, have you heard a word?”

”What words?”

”If there is a long drought, there will be locusts.”

Even the Pingyang princess looked dignified: ”you mean, the next year may outbreak of locusts?”

Xue Lang nodded and asked people to carry the soil he had dug up from the field to the eaves of the porch. He waved to Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang immediately came out to see him pick up the soil: ”see? These are locust eggs

Princess Pingyang took a look, but her expression did not change. She only had some doubts: ”is this locust egg? really? I heard people say that locusts are formed by fish and shrimp eggs. Should they be in water? Why in the earth? ”

Xue Lang is a little silly for a moment! ”My highness, this locust belongs to the insect family. The fish and shrimp belong to the animal class. The fish is notochord, and the shrimp is arthropod. It is different from the locust. This locust is the egg of fish and shrimp Who has misled the children and taught them so badly? ”
