The prostitute is poisonous: married to the disabled fourth prince after rebirth

Chapter 171

General Li hurried forward to explain, "Fourth prince, these brats eat too much greasy food on weekdays, and they have accumulated some food recently, so I asked someone to cook clear porridge for them to lighten their stomachs. You can go back to eat, and you will have more food later." Hurry up."

Following his words, General Li's stomach groaned inappropriately.

Cui Yuexi showed distressed expression, looking at everyone present, her eyes filled with light mist.

"The soldiers who defend their homes and the country eat this. If there is a war, will everyone go to war with their legs weak?"

Li Jing threw the spoon back into the barrel angrily, and questioned General Li in a cold voice.

Everyone in the dining room knelt together and begged Li Jing with their hands clasped together.

"Fourth prince, this matter is not General Li's fault. Most of us are people in Jiangbei or the surrounding areas. We cannot go to help when our families are in trouble. We only want to have some rations left to protect the elders in our hometown. It is our consideration. It’s not a week, and I hope you don’t blame General Li.”

Everyone stood by General Li's side. Li Jing sighed helplessly when he saw how loyal they were, and turned to look at General Li.

"General, I have thought of a way to control the locusts, but they need a lot of people. They care about their family members. Why don't they leave with us today and go to Jiangbei to help. There is not much food in the military camp. I will leave some for you.

As soldiers defending the country, we cannot let you go hungry no matter what. "

After Li Jing said that, the soldiers suddenly became lively.

"General, we will eventually go to Jiangbei with the Fourth Prince." One person spoke and the others rushed to raise their hands, fearing that they would be left in the barracks after speaking.

General Li looked at the excitement of the crowd, and waved for them to be quiet.

"Since the fourth prince has a way to control the locusts, pass on my military order and leave a few people in the army to guard, and the rest will follow me to Jiangbei."

Everyone cheered, Li Jing didn't go back to his room to eat a hearty breakfast, but pulled Cui Yuexi to sit on the empty seat, General Li was a little panicked.

"Fourth Prince, Miss Cui, you'd better go back and eat."

Li Jing said in a low voice, "It's okay, the people who defend the country can't eat enough, how can I, an idler, eat the big fish and meat. Today's porridge is not bad. General Li might as well drink a few more bowls with me."

General Li looked at his calm appearance, completely lacking the arrogant appearance of other princes, and sat down opposite the two with a hearty smile.

After everyone had a simple meal, General Li made arrangements and headed towards Jiangbei with more than a thousand people.

Li Jing didn't expect that the team would grow suddenly, but it was good that the food could be transported to Jiangbei more smoothly.

A group of people traveled overnight and soon arrived in Jiangbei, and the villages and farmers near Jiangbei were devoured by locusts and left nothing.

Li Jing ordered someone to leave some food for them to support them until the reinforcements arrived, and then left.

The group of people became more and more desperate as they walked. The originally lush wheat fields were now only left with desolate bare poles. This was the first time Cui Yuexi saw such a bleak picture, and his heart ached.

Many people fleeing famine along the way, seeing them coming, rushed over frantically to snatch the food.But it was stopped by the army.

Li Jing traveled well all the way, distributing food all the way, when they met Liu Yanbo, there was not much food left in the car.

Liu Yanbo had long heard that Li Jing and Cui Yuexi were coming, so he hurriedly greeted them. When he saw Cui Yuexi, his eyes were full of undisguised distress.

"You said you child, what are you doing here, can't you just stay at home?"

Liu Yanbo didn't know why, if Cui Yuexi didn't come, Li Jing definitely wouldn't come in person.

Liu Yanbo patted General Li on the shoulder gratefully, "Thank you very much."

Everything is close in a sentence of thanks, General Li smiled heartily, "It's all for the common people, why are you being polite."

A group of people entered the courtyard, Liu Yanbo told everyone the details of his return, he sighed helplessly.

"The sudden arrival of the locust plague has already caused a lot of damage. Jiangbei has already lost two-thirds of its food. If the locusts are allowed to eat, I am afraid that many refugees will flood into the capital, and there will be many old and weak people." The people simply cannot survive this winter."

Although the Great Yuan Dynasty seemed to be peaceful, the world was not unified. Occasionally, foreign enemies would invade, and wars would occur from time to time.

The war not only exhausted the people and money, but also made the treasury of the Yuan Dynasty not so full. In addition, last year's floods took out all the grain in the treasury, and now it is impossible to raise food for disaster relief.

And the Liu family has the habit of hoarding grain, so they can always be prepared for danger by storing some.

The Liu family has grain warehouses all over the country, and they have come here to support them one after another. As long as they survive the present, when the Liu family's grain arrives, they will solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

The most important thing right now is how to get rid of the locusts and cut off the damage from the root.

Li Jing saw everyone's embarrassment, coughed lightly, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Does the fourth prince have a strategy?"

After Liu Yanbo came, besides appeasing the victims, he just kept an eye on the speed of the locusts spreading.

If it weren't for the locust plague this year, Jiangbei, where the weather is good and the weather is good, will definitely have a bumper harvest.

Although Liu Yanbo knew that wanting to save food was a bit whimsical, but he couldn't do anything about it.

But in a few days, his eyes were black and black, obviously he didn't sleep well, his mouth was covered with blisters, and he lost a lot of weight.

"Locusts fly on their wings. If we break their wings, they can't fly, and we will be able to protect the remaining food."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, "The fourth prince has a solution?"

Everyone waited patiently for Li Jing's answer, Cui Yuexi smiled lightly.

"Use fire. The wings of locusts are thin and they catch fire." Cui Yuexi had thought of a way before she came, and after she said it, Li Jing agreed with her.

Everyone exclaimed, as if a word awakened the dreamer.

General Li looked at Li Jing, "The fourth prince asked me to bring someone here, maybe it was because of this matter."

Li Jing nodded, "Now we have enough food for Jiangbei to support for two days. As long as there is food at this time, the people are naturally unwilling to leave their homes. When Mr. Li and Mr. Yun come to support, it will not be a problem."

After Liu Yanbo left in a hurry, he ordered people to beat gongs and drums to inform the people.

He didn't dare to delay, and every second of delay would lose the life-saving food of the common people.

"Fourth prince, you and Miss Cui are sitting here, and the general will wait for someone to help."

The people heard that as long as they obeyed the people's arrangements, no one would have two bowls of porridge and a pancake every day, so they hurried over.

In the face of life and death, nothing is more important than being alive.

In addition to the food disaster in Jiangbei, other products are still abundant. There is a copper-uranium mine nearby.

Liu Yanbo asked everyone to make simple torches, and wrapped himself tightly to burn the locusts.
