The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin came to the farm in Jingyang County today, and he really gained a lot and solved many problems.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin took the children back to Chang'an City. Before leaving, he also told Xiao Yu to return to Chang'an as soon as possible because the court needed him.

As soon as the children left, the yard suddenly became empty.

Li Fu sat in the study, looking at the desk originally set up for the four children in the study, and suddenly felt that he missed the noisy feeling when the children were here.

When Li Fu reacted, he actually had such an idea...

Damn, why do I feel lonely like an empty-nest old man.

No, no, I'm still young, not even twenty!

After eating, Lu Deming and Xiao Yu went back to where they lived. They had to take a short break at noon, and Xiao Yu had to go to the school to teach the children in the afternoon.

I also need to tell the children that Li Chengqian and the others will not attend classes in the academy anymore. They will go back with their parents at home. Maybe they will come to the farm again in the summer.

As for myself, I will go back to Chang'an in a few days.

Although it is only a few days, they are still teachers and students. Xiao Yu feels that these things should be discussed with the children in the academy.

Everything has a beginning and an end.

Compared with them, Lu Deming seems to be at ease. He still lives a carefree life in the farm without entering the court. As for the position of the doctor of the Imperial College, he is so old. What's wrong with being a mascot? What's wrong with holding a position?

He is so old that even the censors in the court dare not bring up the topic with him.

At such an old age, if he gets angry because of the censors, then those censors will not have to work anymore.

Li Fu sat in a quiet study, with a greening map of the workshop area on the table.

But this thing can't be done now.

The climate is dry, even if some plants are transplanted, it is not easy to survive. Let's wait a little longer, anyway, the workshop is still working.

After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he asked people to settle the four children, and he hurried to Da'an Palace.

He still remembered what Li Fu asked him to talk to the emperor, and it was a big deal, the sooner it was done, the better.

When Li Yuan heard that his son came to Da'an Palace, he was also a little surprised.

There are not many times when he takes the initiative to come here. It is estimated that there is another period.

"Son pays respects to father." Li Shimin bowed.

"There is no need for courtesy between father and son. Sit down and talk." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." Li Shimin responded and sat down obediently below Li Yuan.

"Tell me, what happened again." Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Father, I just came back from Jingyang County. I went to see Huairen and brought the children back." Li Shimin said.

"Visiting Huairen and picking up the children?" Li Yuan felt that his brain was not enough.

Shouldn't he go to pick up the children and see Huairen?

Huairen is a big guy, what's so good about him?

When I lived in Chang'an, I often met him.

"Yes." Li Shimin responded: "There is a big thing these days."

Then, Li Shimin told Li Yuan how locust eggs were found in the soil in the village of Jingyang County, and the possibility of a locust plague in the future.

Li Yuan widened his eyes, and he couldn't believe it. It was still possible.

"Before I left, I had someone check it out. I'm afraid the locust plague is almost confirmed." Li Shimin said in a heavy tone: "I went to Jingyang County this time to ask Huairen if there is any way to deal with the locust plague. After all, he was the first to discover this matter."

"What did Huairen say?" Li Yuan asked.

If it were someone else, Li Yuan would not believe anything, but Li Fu, his nephew, always brought some unexpected "surprises".

So it might be a good idea to talk to Li Fu about this matter.

"Huairen raises many poultry, chickens, ducks and geese on the farm, and because there is an egg-changing workshop on the farm, almost every village in Jingyang County raises poultry." Li Shimin said.

"Huairen said that poultry can feed on locusts, so you can give it a try."

Li Shimin also told Li Yuan what they discussed at noon today.

Li Yuan nodded as he listened.

After listening to it, I was quite moved.

"What Huairen said is not impossible." Li Yuan said: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he is even willing to make this profitable business public. He is really sincere."

Li Yuan highly praised Li Fu's "dedication" spirit.

"Huairen said, let me go back to the palace and find my father firstDear, ask if this is feasible. "Li Shimin said: "He said that you have a share in this business. Even if you want to make the recipe of the egg-changing egg public, you should also ask for your consent."

Li Yuan laughed.

"This Huairen, really, since it is for the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not agree? Of course I agree. Although the egg-changing business is profitable, I can't get much of it. "Li Yuan said with a smile.

Now his warehouse in Da'an Palace is very abundant, and he is almost not interested in the little money earned by the egg-changing egg.

There is tea, which is a business that makes a lot of money every day.

"But, is it too late to do so now?" Li Yuan asked: "Is it only around Chang'an City that there is such a situation, or is it the same in the whole Guanzhong?"

"The people sent out to investigate are still on the way, and they should be able to come back one after another in the next two days." Li Shimin said: "We will know when the time comes. "

Li Yuan nodded and sighed.

The locust plague is really not good news.

"Since there is such a solution, you must make more preparations as soon as possible." Li Yuan reminded: "Otherwise, the impact will be great."

Li Shimin nodded seriously.

"Son knows. "

Li Shimin felt that if he encountered such a thing, it would be good to come to Da'an Palace to sit and talk to his father. He even felt that he would feel more relaxed than sitting with his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

After returning to the palace, Changsun Wuji and others were also kept in the palace by Li Shimin. The matter of locust plague still needed to be discussed.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue should also be included.

If there is a disaster, relief should be provided, and money and grain should be prepared in advance.

In the manor, Li Fu sent the news of grain exchange for wine in the manor to the restaurant in Chang'an City, and also brought some samples for the restaurant owner to taste. At that time, let them bring the grain to the manor to pick up the goods.
