Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 119 Hope to lose the bet
In fact, Li Shimin still has some puzzled minds, and he doesn't know what his Asian father is going to say.

As if everything was kept in hand, and not everything was explained, this Yafu felt like a wise man to him.

It seems that he saw what happened not long after, but he just kept it from him. If it was someone else, Li Shimin couldn't bear it long ago.

It's just that this is my own father, if there is something wrong with this old man, then it is the Empress Changsun who is the first to make it difficult for him.

So no matter how aggrieved Li Shimin was, he could only hide it in his heart, because if this Asian father didn't say anything, no one could force him.

Now Li Shimin is betting on the same game through the bet, precisely because he wants to know what this Asian father thinks in his heart.

The smile on Shu An's face remained unchanged, and there was no change at all because of Li Shimin's words, as if all of this was expected.

"Okay, so what about this bet?"

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, guessing whether he was right or wrong in predicting the natural disaster, this emperor seemed to have absolute confidence in himself.

"Wait, Yafu can't predict the secret like last time."

Li Shimin added that he was really afraid that his father would be like last time, and now he still has half-belief in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Coupled with this Yafu's brilliant record, Li Shimin still has a certain degree of trust in his heart, and Yafu is very human.

Shu An didn't say anything, but dipped his finger in the tea and wrote down a word slowly.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, and his complexion was a little ugly. This word is not another word, but a locust word.

If Li Shimin doesn't know anything at this time, then he is a fool. It can be said that this word has dealt a great blow to this emperor.

Shu An gently poured out the original tea, poured another cup, and took a sip.

He naturally knew the impact of this word on Li Shimin. To know the plague of locusts, it is not a good thing in this era.

Locusts fly into the sea and turn into fish and shrimp. It is said in ancient times that locusts are transformed from the eggs of fish and shrimp, so there are many fish and shrimp and auspicious snow is abundant.

If there is a plague of locusts, a large number of rice fields and vegetables will be destroyed, and even people will be eaten in order to survive. It can be said that this plague of locusts represents an unknown.

There was even a saying about the God of Locusts, so that the people did not dare to catch the locusts, and they had to know that after the destruction of the banker was over.

Basically, people can only eat grass roots and bark, but the grass roots and bark are only for hunger, and there are also a few grass and tree barks.

The number of people affected by the disaster is also not small. If there are many people gathered in one place, then don't think too much about the vegetation and bark.

The severity of the locust plague is even higher than that of the drought. After all, the destructive power of the locust plague is continuous.

Because for a long time to come, the people will not be able to harvest. Historically, because there is no participation of Shu An, the people in the pass have no idea of ​​moving south. I don't know what will happen in the end, but the result can also be imagined.

This has reduced a lot of pressure on Li Shimin, but now that the people in the pass have gone south, Li Shimin has a lot more pressure than in history.

That's why Shu An proposed the idea of ​​building roads. As for the treasury matter, he has a way to make up for it.

But looking at Li Shimin's distraught appearance, Shu An didn't say much, the seeds had already been planted.

"This bet, Shimin really hopes that Yafu can lose."

After a long time, Li Shimin's eyes finally recovered and he said with a trace of complexity.

"I hope to lose too."

After being silent for a long time, Shu An also said quietly that the heavens were not friendly to this emperor.

Especially in the past few years, when natural disasters continue, especially if they are exploited by people with good intentions, then Li Shimin will be in a hurry.

Li Shimin didn't stay in Shu Mansion for long. Originally, he came to Shu Mansion to confirm one thing, but now it led to another matter.

Even if Li Shimin also had some fears, if the plague of locusts really happened, then the whole pass would inevitably be in turmoil, and even the Guanzhong area would not be spared.

Although Li Shimin also had a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, it was that this Asian father had some unfinished words before.

However, it is obvious that he can't take care of it. As a king, he needs to consider various possibilities, and his sub-father's words also have three points of credibility, even if they have a mythical color.

After Li Shimin left, Shu An's thoughts were also racing. Even after seeing the cruelty of this era, he was already numb.

But in the face of this kind of natural disaster and man-made disaster, there is also a kind of compassion, because this is not just one person, nor dozens of people, but hundreds of thousands of people in the pass.

The reason why the people in the whole pass can be moved in this way is because of his role as a pusher, otherwise the whole pass is so big, even if the rumors want to spread, it will not be so fast.

As for whether it was the discussion in Chang'an, or someone above the court council who demanded a thorough investigation of the source of the rumors, this was obviously aimed at him.

Even rumors spread to all parts of the world. I don't know how many people pay attention to this matter. Some people care about him, and some people want to see his jokes.

Shu An saw all this, but he ignored it, because the passage of time was the best proof.

Suddenly, Shu An's eyes lit up slightly, and he saw a petite figure on the edge of the courtyard looking at him furtively, with a hint of gentleness on his face.

"Little girl, why don't you come out?"

Shu An's voice sounded softly, with a trace of gentleness in his words.

Perhaps because of his aging, he has a fondness for children, not to mention that this person is his sister's granddaughter.

"Uncle Grandpa!"

Yaya came out and said, after coming to the Shu Mansion, the little girl has a different life.

The gorgeous clothes on her body and the food she had never eaten made this little girl very grateful to her uncle, because Aniang told her that all these things were given to them by her uncle.

"Ya Ya, what's the matter?"

Shu An said softly, with a hint of doubt in his words, this little girl seemed to be a little afraid of herself.

Of course, this is mainly due to unfamiliarity, so Shu An is not in a hurry, just get familiar with it slowly, and he never thought that he would come to find him.

After a few days here, this little girl's complexion is not as pale as when she first arrived.

"Uncle, Yaya wants to bring some food for Big Girl, Ergou Xiaopang and so on."

Ya Ya's childish voice sounded as she counted her fingers, but it made Shu An a little stunned.

Afterwards, Shu An somewhat understood that these names should be the humble names of the children of common people. After all, humble names are easy to support, even among the royal family, there are many people like this.

For example, Li Zhi, who is about to be born, has a nickname called Zhinu. You must know that in this era, Zhinu means pheasant, and the words of slave are easier to understand. Together, they mean little pheasant.
