Datang: Signed in for Seven Years and Was Exposed by Empress Changsun

But what Li Hong just said about taking the blame, he remembered it in his heart.

Thinking about going back and studying carefully, is it because the people below can't find a way to deal with it?

"Okay, let's talk about how it was formed."

"Your Majesty, was there a severe drought before the locust plague?"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Li Hong stopped talking about the gods.

If you certify this problem with him, you will undoubtedly ask elementary school students to use calculus to solve problems.

"Yes, the drought is severe."

Li Shimin nodded in response.

"That's the problem."

"Drought Causes Locust Plague!"

Li Hong said firmly.

But when Li Shimin listened, he was even more puzzled, unable to understand what Li Hong meant by this.

Drought causes locust plague, is it possible?

Chapter 028 Solving the locust plague is actually very simple

Li Hong didn't rush to explain.

He just kept quiet and let Li Shimin think for himself.

Li Shimin frowned, but he couldn't figure out why.

Not to mention how the locust plague came about, there is no record in the book, even among the people.

Or some old peasants in the folk know, but their words are humble and cannot be passed on.

With Li Shimin's background and experience, it is impossible to understand these bottom-level things.

"Li Hong, how could a drought cause a plague of locusts?"

In the end, Li Shimin really couldn't think of the reason, so he had to ask.

At the beginning just now, he asked Li Hong casually.

Now even he himself doesn't know, he has unknowingly become serious.

"First of all, think about it, Your Majesty, do locust plagues happen after droughts?"

Li Hong did not answer immediately.

He knew that the ancients had wisdom, but the ancients did not have enough insight.

If he doesn't go on step by step, Li Hong worries that Li Shimin won't be able to understand.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't know Li Hong's real thoughts, otherwise his face would turn black.

"indeed so."

Li Shimin said tremblingly.

Regarding the locust plague, he has a headache more than anyone else.

Because of this, he consulted a lot of information and came to a conclusion.

The plague of locusts only begins after a drought!

As for why this happened, he couldn't figure it out.

Hearing Li Hong speak like this now, he became excited instantly.

"Women bear children, hens lay eggs, and locusts lay their eggs."

"They will lay their eggs in the soil, and when the soil is firmer and the water content is less, they will hatch."

"During the drought, the water level drops, the soil becomes firmer, the water content decreases, and the vegetation on the ground is sparse, and the number of eggs laid by locusts increases greatly..."

"This is how the plague of locusts was formed! Your Majesty, can you understand me?"

Li Hong tried his best to explain in simple words why the locust plague was formed during a drought.

"I... can understand!"

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

Although he was confused by some individual words, he could understand the overall meaning.

Drought will cause a large number of locust eggs to hatch, and then large-scale locusts will appear, looking for food everywhere, and eventually lead to locust plagues.

Li Shimin was very excited, it was the first time he had such a clear understanding of the locust plague.

"Yes, His Majesty's understanding ability is very strong."

Li Hong nodded, as if he was back when he was the head of Lianyun Village.

At that time, he taught them a lot of modern knowledge, and after they understood it, Li Hong would habitually praise him.

Seeing that Li Shimin could understand now, Li Hong praised him without even thinking about it.
