C569 (2/2)
Xue Lang nodded and waved his hand to let people continue to work, but his brow was frozen. Princess Pingyang had finished dressing up. She went out to see Xue Lang, frowning under the porch eaves, and said, ”how can you still stand in the air outlet when the weather is so cold? Be careful of catching cold
Xue Lang said: ”if you want to go into the palace today, go to eat first. I won't eat any more. Go out and have a look. It's cold in the late spring. I don't know what's going on outside. I'll take a look outside the city. You can eat your own advanced palace! ”
Said, then head also don't return to go out, Pingyang Princess know can't stop him, just in time to order to follow the servants: ”take some hot food, let the emperor's son-in-law cushion on the way.”
”Here it is.”
Xue Lang got into the carriage, ate three eggs, took a sip of hot water and rushed out of the city. He went straight to the fields -
on the ridge of the field, the wild just appeared a bit green. At this time, without exception, he was covered with a layer of white frost. Xue Lang only asked people to bring him a rake, went straight to the grass, carefully scratched around, and soon gathered a pile of frozen locusts, which had not yet grown wings, out of nymph state.
He ordered people to put them on, but they didn't stop in a hurry. In the vicinity of Chang'an City, regardless of the southeast and northwest, they circled around, and there were nymphs frozen to death everywhere.Xue Lang didn't care about the wet shoes and the corner of his robe. After turning around, he directly ordered him to enter the palace with a pile of frozen nymphs.
When Xue Lang arrived at the palace, he was just about to invite the palace people to pass the news. The palace people already said with a smile: ”prince in law, we have just sent people to the mansion to tell you to enter the palace. As a result, the people in your family said that you got up early in the morning and went out of the city. We have been waiting for a long time. Please come in, son-in-law!”
Xue Lang nodded and went directly into the main hall of the Li Zheng hall under the leadership of the palace people. In the main hall, Xiao Li and his ministers were discussing the issue of disaster relief yesterday.
Seeing Xue Lang coming in, Li Er was about to speak. Seeing his mud stained and soaked corner of his robe, Li Er was stunned and asked, ”why is Youyang in such a situation?”
Xue Lang said: ”back to my highness, when I get up in the morning, I hear that it's frosting. Even the edge of the lake at home is covered with a thin layer of frost, which seems to be the cold of late spring.”
”Late spring cold?”
Xiao Li is a rich young man. How can he understand this. Xue Lang only had a rough explanation: ”the cold in the last spring means that it is already early spring, and the temperature rises again. Suddenly, the temperature drops suddenly, which is comparable to the cold winter.”
Li Er nodded and asked, ”is it because of the late spring cold that Youyang left the city early in the morning?”
”Yes, my Lord. Your majesty, please
Xue Lang opened the cloth bag he had brought in. Li Er Gou looked at it and said, ”it's all locusts! This... ”
The expression on the face appears a little surprised!
Xue Lang also laughed and said: ”yes, because of the cold in the late spring, the probability of locust outbreak has greatly decreased! Chickens and ducks will continue to be stocked and monitored. The minister predicts that the possibility of locust disaster this year will be greatly reduced. Your majesty can lay down half his heart! ”
As soon as Xiao Li showed a little happy expression, Xue Lang stopped and said, ”however, because of the frost disaster, the situation of the refugees in the city is even worse! Disaster relief is an urgent matter. Your majesty, it's time to act! ”
Because of the sudden frost disaster, more than half of the worries about the locust plague have gone. But the problem of the refugees gathered in the city due to the drought has reached a point that has to be dealt with. Otherwise, because of the frost disaster, there will be frozen death among the refugees!
All the departments of the court should act immediately!
Li Er said: ”Youyang, Wang Xian of the Ministry of the people has been embarrassed and greatly used. I have taken over the post of the Ministry of people. Would you please take over the affairs of the Ministry of people temporarily?”
Xue Lang is a very pragmatic person. After thinking about it, he quickly nodded: ”here! First of all, we must get through the emergency relief work. ”
