After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 41
The Guanzhong Plain encountered a severe locust plague, and countless crops were eaten up. Looking around, there was no harvest despite thousands of miles of fertile soil.

As the king of this empire, Li Zhi has an unshirkable responsibility.

As early as a month ago, he led hundreds of officials, worshiped the heaven and the earth, and promulgated the "Edict of Guilt".

But a month later, the disaster is getting worse.

Seeing that refugees are everywhere and the country is unstable, Empress Wu resolutely put forward a suggestion to let Li Zhi go deep into the people, relieve the victims, control the pests, and set an example for all people with the respect of the emperor.

The royal convoy departed from Suzaku Gate and headed for Fu Mansion in a mighty way.

Li Lingyue, who was sitting in the carriage, was originally excited, but gradually became heavy because of what she saw and heard on the road.

She opened the window, and the outside world was like a purgatory on earth.

The sky was dark, and the locusts were densely packed, like a tornado. Every time they passed through the border, not a single blade of grass would grow.

On both sides of the official road, there were kneeling refugees begging. They were all ragged, yellow and emaciated, like walking corpses that had just crawled out of the grave.

Traveling to the border of Yizhou, the disaster became more serious. Migratory locusts, like a slanting rainstorm, kept hitting the carriage, making a "crackling" sound.

Wang Gong'er in the carriage was so frightened that she screamed loudly, holding the window tightly with her little hands, for fear that the locusts would be the next one to eat her.

Li Lingyue looked steady, and kept thinking about the method of controlling locusts in her era. After thinking for a long time, she finally shook her head helplessly.

In the ancient times when the scientific and technological civilization was extremely underdeveloped, let alone spraying insecticides with airplanes, it was impossible to manufacture simple spray sprayers.

Looking at the road, she found that the people along the way used the most primitive methods of driving, smoking, burning, and beating the insects, and the efficiency was naturally minimal.

At [-] noon, Li Lingyue was summoned by Li Zhi, and the father and daughter rode in the same carriage.

Li Zhi picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Li Lingyue.

"You're hungry, try it!"

Li Lingyue responded, took it in her hand and took a small bite.

Li Zhi patted her on the shoulder, his eyes full of love.

"Aye, I heard that you gave all the cakes to the refugees. Well, you are indeed my good daughter. Your kindness is commendable!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi changed the subject, "It's just that you overlooked one point."

"Which point?" Li Lingyue raised her head and asked.

Li Zhi smiled sadly: "Your charity can fill them up for a meal, but who should they ask for charity for the next meal?"

Li Lingyue put down the pastry, and replied with some sadness:
"At least the daughter's charity can temporarily avoid their despair of 'changing children and eating'!"

"Having said that, have you ever thought that there are still tens of thousands of refugees who are equally miserable and have not received your charity? How can you save them all by yourself?"

While speaking, a migratory locust squeezed in from the curtain and landed on Li Zhi's hand. Li Zhi pinched his fingers and lamented:

"The people in Guanzhong are just like this migratory locust. Although one insect dies, a hundred insects are alive. Natural disasters and earth disasters are beyond human power!"

Faced with Li Zhi's negativity and helplessness, Li Lingyue didn't know how to respond for a while.

She is just a young princess, without soldiers and power, unable to participate in major national affairs, and unable to influence the current situation.

From Li Zhi's words, Li Lingyue had already guessed that her own Aye was powerless, and the reason for the high-profile patrol was, after all, just a deliberate "political show" that's all. , are all good actors!

Getting off Li Zhi's carriage, Li Lingyue felt a sense of loss in her heart. Wang Gong'er made a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and she just took a sip, and she felt even worse.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Li Lingyue's depression, Wang Gong'er asked softly.

"Gong'er, do you think this pest problem can be cured?" Li Lingyue put down the porridge bowl and asked casually.

"Of course!" Wang Gong'er replied without thinking.

"Oh?" Li Lingyue looked at Wang Gong'er with great interest: "Why are you so sure?"

"Your Majesty personally relieves the disaster, who dares not to put in effort, as long as one is united, man will conquer the sky!"

"Your Majesty? Hehe!"

Li Lingyue smiled mockingly, suddenly thought of something, and grabbed Wang Gong'er:

"What was the last sentence you said just now!"

The sudden action made Wang Gong'er tremble in fright, "Princess, you... what's wrong with you!"

"Say it!"

"The servant girl just said that if you work together, you will conquer the sky!"

"One mind and one mind, man will conquer heaven!" Li Lingyue let go of Wang Gong'er, repeating these eight words over and over in her mouth.

She vaguely thought of her time, the floods in the Yangtze River, the Wenchuan earthquake, the Chongqing wildfire, the global epidemic... These disasters that were comparable to insect infestation were finally overcome only by uniting as one?
Li Lingyue was short of breath, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

That's right, didn't the great man say, 'Because of the great ambition of sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky! '.

In front of humans with high IQ, what is a mere locust? If locusts can gather to form disasters, can’t humans swarm and destroy them?

In this day and age, everything is lacking, but the only thing that is not lacking is people!

When people are united, Mount Tai will move!Isn't the emperor's personal inspection just a booster to unite people's hearts?

Just imagine, the dignified emperors of a country all take the lead. Wouldn't the people at the bottom work harder when facing the homeland they depend on for survival?
As the saying goes: If you have aspirations, things will come true, if you break the boat, the hundred and twenty Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu;
Thinking of this, Li Lingyue rushed out as soon as she lifted the curtain of the car.

Just when Li Zhi was drowsy, the excited Li Lingyue got into the car, grabbed his arm and shook it:
"Aye! Wake up, I have thought of a way to control the insect infestation!"

Seeing his daughter's face full of joy and confidence, Li Zhi hurriedly sat up:

"Quickly, how to govern?"

"The method is very simple. First, Aye needs to go to the fields in person to set an example for the victims, gather people's hearts, and fight the disaster together; second, order officials from all over the surrounding areas to prepare supplies and rush to help Guanzhong; third, recruit the army and resettle the refugees. maintain……"

The more Li Lingyue spoke, the more excited she became, but Li Zhi's expression gradually changed from anticipation at the beginning to calmness.

He waved his hand to stop Li Lingyue who was talking endlessly.

"Aye, you are..." Li Lingyue who was interrupted was puzzled.

Li Zhi leaned lazily on the soft couch again, and said slowly:
"I've tried what you said a long time ago, and it doesn't work at all. You know, the bugs didn't just appear in Aye's dynasty. It was even more serious when your grandfather was in power."

"Then how did Grandpa Huang manage it?" Li Lingyue asked.

"One word, boil!"

Li Zhi smiled helplessly: "Only by staying until late autumn, when the weather is cold, the insect infestation will naturally disappear!"

This is the trick, Li Lingyue was angry and angry when he heard it, and directly contradicted:
"With such an absurd approach, how can the people affected by the disaster live?"

"Moon!"

Li Zhi reprimanded and rubbed his painful forehead: "The court will allocate money and food to comfort the people affected by the disaster, alas! Natural disasters cannot be violated!"

"Aye! My daughter doesn't believe in 'Natural disasters cannot be broken', she only believes in 'Man can conquer nature'!"
