The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Shitou." Li Shimin looked at Shitou: "Your husband has said a lot. What does he think about this?" Shitou shook his head. "Your Majesty, my husband didn't say anything about this. He just asked me to bring the things to your majesty and tell your majesty what they found in Zhuangzi, so that your majesty and the ministers of the court would pay attention to it." "Your husband can't think of any suitable solution." Li Shimin shook his head. But it's true. Even he and the right servant Zhongshu Ling couldn't think of any way to deal with it. What ideas can Li Fu have? When the locust plague occurred in the former Sui Dynasty, Li Fu didn't exist at that time. He hadn't experienced it, and not many people would tell him about this kind of thing... Li Shimin thought about it and figured it out. Suddenly I felt something was wrong. Yes, there was a locust plague in the former Sui Dynasty. At that time, Li Fu was not born yet. He had never seen it or experienced it. There would be no one around to talk to him about the locust plague. After all, people are still very taboo about topics like locust plague.

If that's the case, how did Li Fu know such details about the locust plague, and even went to dig the soil in the field to recognize locust eggs.

Most people may not recognize that this is locust eggs when they see this thing. If they don't tell them, how many learned people in the court can see it?

As a result, Li Fu saw it.

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he thought of this.

This kid Li Fu still has something to hide!

At this critical moment, he still doesn't speak clearly, and he is still hiding it. This is a big deal!

Li Shimin looked at Shitou seriously.

Shitou was stared at by his eyes and felt a little scared.

"Your Majesty." Shitou was a little flustered.

"Did your husband only tell you this?" Li Shimin confirmed with Shitou again.

"Your Majesty, it is true that he only told me this." Shitou responded seriously.

Li Shimin nodded.

There was nothing more to be said about Shitou.

"Okay, go back and tell your husband that I know." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Shitou hurriedly bowed and responded, then stood up and left Liangyi Hall.

After Shitou left, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, about this matter..."

"First do as you said, go investigate and collect evidence." Li Shimin said: "Also let the Imperial Observatory confirm the rain again."

"After confirmation, I plan to go to Zhuangzi in Jingyang County in person, and you will accompany me."

"Yes." The three of them bowed and responded.

Li Shimin thought, it happened that Xiao Yu was also in Zhuangzi. This trip would not only ask about the locust plague, but also restore Xiao Yu to his original position.

As the emperor, he went to Zhuangzi in person and gave Xiao Yu an order in person, which was also enough face for Xiao Yu.

In this way, both sides gave each other a way out, and they lived in peace. It couldn't be better.

As the weather gradually warmed up, more people worked in the fields, but they all had a bit of worry on their faces. When they sat together to chat during the break, they also talked about the rain.

If God doesn't rain, they will depend on the weather for their food, so how can they not worry?

Although Xiao Yu is not in the court now and does not participate in political affairs, he is still worried since he knew that there might be a locust plague. After coming back from teaching every day, he thinks about countermeasures, but after thinking for a long time, he still can't think of any effective methods.

Xiao Yu is also worried. What worries him is that after Li Fu's explanation and seeing the facts in front of him, he understands why locusts form locust plagues, and he also knows that locusts are not impossible to kill, but people have given it a name, and with that name, people dare not do it.

How can everyone believe that this is not a punishment?

Only when they believe it and let go of those thoughts and burdens in their hearts, can they take action to kill locusts.

As for killing too many lives, when the locust plague occurs, the crops in the fields are completely gone, and people can't take care of it, so how can they take care of locusts? It's ridiculous.

That day, after Xiao Yu came back from the school, he went directly to Lu Deming's house next door.

Lu Deming didn't study his books at home, but instead began to study Li Fu's curriculum reform in the school.

Li Fu's schedule and course arrangement seem to be quite reasonable.

However, if this is changed, the school will be expanded, and more teachers will be needed to lead students. Moreover, in this case, the requirements for teachers in the school to teach students are not low.

Moreover, according to the schedule, Li Fu also wants to teach students everything. Is this to cultivate all-round talents?

They need to read, learn arithmetic, keep fit, and even have military courses on the schedule.What is this military class for? Learning military tactics? That's really wrong.

There are also some places that have been erased, with something written on them like nature and science...

Introduction to music, calligraphy practice...

It's a bit miscellaneous, is this okay? Is this something that can be taught in the current school?

It's unrealistic.

Lu Deming was a little skeptical, so he also wanted to talk to Xiao Yu about the schedule.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Yu came in from the door and came to the yard.

Seeing Lu Deming sitting in the yard, Xiao Yu came and sat down opposite him.

"Shiwen came at the right time, and I just wanted to talk to you about the school schedule." Lu Deming said.

"Doctor Lu, let's put the schedule aside for now. There's no need to worry about it." Xiao Yu said, "What's worrying is the locust plague. I've been thinking about it, but I still haven't come up with a suitable solution. What should I do if it really comes in the future?"

"You're not in the court now, so what can you do even if you have any ideas?" Lu Deming asked.

He said this to pave the way for Xiao Yu to return to the court in advance.

He knew Xiao Yu's temperament too well. When the court's decree came in the future, if he got stubborn and caused trouble again, it would be bad.

So, no matter what Xiao Yu thought, even if he came up with a solution in the end, the premise was that he had to stand in the Taiji Hall, wearing official uniform and holding a tablet, so that he could have the ability and qualifications to act.

"What do you mean? Even if I am no longer the Minister of the Left, I still have a title and I am still a minister of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not care about the people's affairs?" Xiao Yu retorted: "Alas, since I learned about the locust plague, I have been unable to sleep day and night, especially when I realized that the previous inaction on the locust plague was a mistake, I felt even more uncomfortable."

Lu Deming nodded, showing his understanding.

"Yes, the officials who stood in the palace hall in the past did not go to the ground to dig up the soil and study this."
