Chapter 381

The morning meeting ended without salt and water.

Although the meeting was over, this problem was still in front of Li Shimin.

That's the matter of animal husbandry

If this matter is not handled well, not only will all livestock or horses in Datang be destroyed because of this matter, but also what will happen if war breaks out at that time?

There will be no more war horses available in Datang!

No more cavalry against the Turks!

Royal study.

Li Shimin looked sadly at everything outside the window.

It used to be midsummer, but now?

Nothing but dead branches and leaves!

"Second brother, are you worried about locusts again?"

The eldest sun Wugou fans Li Shimin from behind and asks.

"Alas!"

"Guanyin maidservant, tell me, now, the damn locust, although things have been basically solved and people's food has been available, I forgot to store forage. Now..."

"Who could have thought that this locust disaster would be so serious? And brother Zhang Feng really didn't explain things clearly..."

"Guanyin maidservant must not say so!"

Li Shimin shook his head, grabbed the slender jade hand of his eldest grandson and said, "brother Zhang Feng did say at that time, but I underestimated the locust disaster, so I was a little indecisive!"

"At first, if I had listened to his words and concentrated all chickens, ducks and pigs in Longyou, the current problem would never be so serious. Now even if I wanted to gather chickens and ducks on a large scale, it would be very difficult."

The eldest sun Wugou pursed his lips and said, "then why didn't you just want chickens and ducks? Pigs when you confronted Tubo and other countries last time?"

"You think they're stupid!"

Li Shimin nodded his eldest grandson's clean forehead.

"At that time, if my expression was wrong, it might fail the last time, not to mention as long as chickens, ducks and pigs. Once I said that, believe it or not, they would never give 1"

"And we will think of ways to solve the locust disaster in a short time!"

The eldest sun Wugou bit his lips and thought about it. He couldn't help exclaiming, "second brother means to borrow a chicken to lay an egg?"

"Use their chickens, ducks and pigs to deal with the locusts in Datang, and then send the news back to them, and then we can use it openly..."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin nodded admiringly.

"However, the key problem now is that everyone doesn't know when this locust disaster will break out, let alone next year's locust disaster. If it breaks out, then..."

"Emperor! Wei Xiang wants to see you!"

At this time, the voice of the little noble son hurriedly sounded outside the imperial study.

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Xuan!"

Only then did the eldest sun Wugou break free from Li Shimin's hands.

"The concubine left first."

While talking, the eldest sun Wugou left when Wei Zheng and others entered the imperial study.

"Please see the emperor! ~"

"Get up!"

Li Shimin said somewhat sleepy.

"What's the matter?"

"The emperor, the ministers came for the livestock. This matter is far more serious than what Lord Liu said earlier today!"

"Just now, the minister and others personally sent someone to Chang'an and outside Chang'an city. Near Longshou mountain outside Chang'an City and Shilipo, it was lush, but now..."

"There's nothing else except the bare trunk, dead branches and rotten leaves, and all cattle and sheep are hungry. If it's no longer solved..."

"What can you think of later?"

Li Shimin interrupted Wei Zheng and others and asked.

"This..."

Wei Zheng hesitated.

"Now there are only two ways, either to immediately launch the locust eradication operation, then concentrate all cattle and sheep, dare to go to the south, and then send people 800 miles to transport hay, so that the governments in the South can immediately transport hay."

Cheng Yaojin sighed bitterly, "the livestock of the people outside Chang'an are like this. Emperor, this camp is more serious!"

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to let grass rain in the sky?"

Li Shimin was angry.

Light wave.

"Immediately spread out a large number of bone strengthening powder and let people distribute it to me in three days. At the same time, it is necessary to let all royal businesses and the industries of courtiers start to purchase locusts, and then let local government soldiers cooperate with local Yamen and start three pronged management of locusts according to the previous method!"

Li Shimin was annoyed.

But at this time, things can't be delayed.

If we drag on, it will only make the people more panic!

Only by diverting their attention and focusing the people's attention on one place, can this locust disaster not go wrong.

"By the way, Cheng Aiqing, what happened to the matter I ordered you to investigate?"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "locust plague has indeed erupted in Turkic territory, and it is extremely heavy. It seems that all tribes have swallowed and robbed each other of resources..."

"Have you found that they have contacts with Tubo and other state-owned countries?"

"Not found yet!"

Li Shimin frowned and thought.

"Well, can you spread the news to the Turks?"

"It's already passed."

"Good!"

"Now, let everything go first, and then be sure to focus all your energy on Turks. Once Turks have any trouble, report 1 at the first time."

"Yes!"
