There was a voice behind him, and Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
Except for those guys in the city, no one would call me that.
He straightened up and looked back, and saw Old Li Tou and Wei Zheng walking towards him.
Zhao Chen was quite happy to see Wei Zheng.
This old guy still knows how to come over and take a look at himself.
However, Zhao Chen felt a little sorry for leaving all the affairs of the academy to him alone.
But Lao Litou is here too.
Zhao Chen didn't know what to say to him for a while.
"Zhao Chen, you are not an honest kid. You left me, the old man, and came here to enjoy yourself." Wei Zheng walked up to Zhao Chen and patted Zhao Chen's shoulder hard, as if just to vent his anger.
"I'm doing this for enjoyment, obviously just to eat." Zhao Chen shook his head and sat down on the side of the field.
Wei Zheng was also casual and found a place with green grass to sit down.
Lao Li Tou was the guy who went to the ground himself. He was lying on the green grass at that time.
He said: "No wonder you kid came here, it is indeed much more comfortable than in the city."
"If I have time tomorrow, I have to bring your aunt over to have a rest and relax."
After Old Li Tou said this, Zhao Chen knew that he did not know the specific reason why he left Chang'an City.
"Come on, it's not too far anyway. Let's experience the life of the common people. There's nothing wrong with working at sunrise and resting at sunset." Zhao Chen smiled and just said casually.
But Old Li Tou obviously just said that.
He had just heard what the village chief said at the entrance of the village, and now he was already anxious.
Then why are you in the mood to come here to play?
"Boy Zhao, the village chief and the others we met at the entrance of the village on our way here just now told them to go to Chang'an City to buy eggs that can hatch chickens and ducks, duck eggs."
"You mean, there will really be a locust plague soon this year?" Old Li sat up and stared at Zhao Chen.
Although Wei Zheng did not speak, his ears were perked up, ready to listen to Zhao Chen's opinion.
He believed that Zhao Chen would not say such things for no reason.
If the locust plague is not handled properly, it will cause a big mess.
Don’t dare to say nonsense!
"I already informed you about this matter in advance last winter, so what's the point of asking now?" Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and said lightly.
Unlike the previous enthusiasm, there was a hint of alienation in his words.
Li Shimin obviously didn't notice, or in other words, his mind was all on the locust plague at the moment.
Wei Zheng frowned without revealing any trace.
He found that Zhao Chen's speech was different from before.
In the past, when Zhao Chen spoke to the emperor, he would first call him "Old Li Tou" and then laugh at him.
But not this time.
"As the saying goes, locusts are bound to appear after a prolonged drought. Since the beginning of spring this year, there have been less than three spring rains in Chang'an City."
"Last winter, there was no heavy snowfall. The locust eggs were growing in the ground. When the weather gets hot, they will fly out." Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin with a calm expression.
"Is that possible..."
"There is no good solution. This is a natural disaster, but you have to try your best to control it and avoid causing man-made disasters."
"It's not easy to be an emperor, especially in situations like this. Lao Li... Your Majesty, don't care what others say. You have to remember that this is a natural disaster and a climate problem. It has nothing to do with what you do in your daily life."
Any relationship."
"After I return, I will immediately ask the people below to investigate how many places are facing the same problems as Chang'an City."
"It is completely prohibited for people to hunt and sell frogs, lizards, birds, and various bees, which are the natural enemies of locusts."
"In addition, try to hatch as many chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry as possible. If the locusts are strong, dig pits and light fires on the edge of the fields. The locusts are afraid of fires and do not dare to get close to the crops."
This time, Zhao Chen was rare and did not embarrass old Li Tou, nor did he talk to Li Shimin.
Even when the words "Old Li Tou" came to his lips, he became Your Majesty.
"You kid, you still have a way. I was worried before and couldn't think of a single solution. I didn't expect that you would have so many ideas."
"Boy Zhao, you've almost rested here. You're going back with me today to help me handle this matter." Li Shimin was very happy, got up and stood in front of Zhao Chen, patting his shoulder excitedly.
"It's not possible now. Things here haven't been dealt with yet. I'll go back when I'm done here."
"And His Majesty has already made preparations. This locust plague is naturally no big deal."
"By the way, you must ask the following clearly what is going on and why there has been no report for so long."
"The locust plague is not a child's play..." Zhao Chen wanted to say something else, but at this point, he suddenly stopped.
Looking at Wei Zheng aside, he smiled and said: "Old Mr. Wei, the students in the academy are all begging you. Tell them that you will keep the soap thing in mind."
"Zhao..."
"Okay, it's getting late. The locust plague is not a child's play. The sooner we deal with it, the safer it will be. If we go back now, we can still make it in time for dinner." Wei Zheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Chen.
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Zhao Chen, who was digging a hole in the ground, without saying a word.
…
"Master Cui, why are you here again today?" Li Chengqian looked at Cui Yan in front of him in the East Palace with a somewhat unhappy expression.
At the previous banquet at the Zhengdian Hall, Li Chengqian couldn't bear what Empress Changsun said.
He knew that the words of Empress Changsun were not just for their brothers and sisters.
In fact, it also includes Zhao Chen.
After all, Li Chengqian never said anything about asking Empress Changsun to marry the Bolingcui family.
Now Zhao Chen is gone too, without even saying hello.
Li Chengqian didn't understand why Cui Yan came to him.
"Come and see His Highness the Crown Prince." Cui Yan didn't take Li Chengqian's unwelcoming attitude to heart.
"I'm fine. If Master Cui has nothing to do, please leave early. I still have things to do." Li Chengqian knew why Cui Yan came to see him.
But now he doesn't want to do that.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince was persuaded by the Queen and does not want to attack Zhao Chen anymore." Cui Yan said with a smile.
"The queen is my biological mother, and I don't want to make her sad. As for Zhao Chen's life and death, it has nothing to do with me." Li Chengqian said coldly.
"I understand. Since Zhao Chen has chosen to leave Chang'an City, there is no need for His Highness the Crown Prince to take action. I will send someone to kill him. I am here today to reassure His Highness the Crown Prince."
"If I need help from His Highness in the future, I hope His Highness will not refuse." Cui Yan smiled and held hands with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian said nothing and looked at Cui Yan's leaving figure expressionlessly.
"Songxin, tell Cheng Chumo the news that Cui Yan came to the East Palace today." After a long time, Li Chengqian suddenly issued an inexplicable order.
