After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 725 Three years of drought and three years of frost

  The two demons have formed an alliance, and their hearts are full of bad water and tricks.

  I don't know what's brewing.

   And Li Dandao devoted himself to the treatment of these people, and contained the abnormal autumn withering twilight.

   I didn't expect to meet the Qingnv Fairy again. This fairy is the **** of frost and snow. She should only appear in late autumn and winter.

   "The fairy came just in time. She has collected the frost, and won't affect the seedlings."

   Fairy Qingnv held the "Snow Bottle" and said, "Oh, but I don't know how to tell you."

  Li Dan asked suspiciously, "Fairy, what's wrong?"

   Fairy Qingnv said, "I have made a decree that there will be frost disasters for three consecutive years."

   "Hi!" Li Dan said in shock: "What kind of nerve is this?"

   "Three years of frost disaster, wouldn't the grain harvest be wiped out?"

   Fairy Qingnv said: "I am August frost, but you don't know June is dry."

  Li Dan was surprised: "How long will the drought be?"

   "It's also three years." Fairy Qingnv sighed: "The drought started in April, and it continued until June. In July and August, frost and snow began to fall."

   "I heard that there is still a plague of locusts. The plague of locusts is under the control of the **** of plague, and the chief of the five plagues has also come down to the realm..."

   Fairy Qingnv said: "When today's son is in the top position, he doesn't obey the political rules, and the great emperor who put his bet on the Emperor Taishang is out of breath."

   "I'm afraid that the current emperor may really want to be like the former Sui, and die in the second generation."

  Li Dan was speechless in his heart: "Is this overturning the table? What is this trying to do? Emperor Ziwei doesn't check and balance him?"

   But after thinking about it, the gods of the five parties do not compete for the emperor of heaven. For several bigwigs who want to fight for the emperor of heaven, they can only win over them and cannot easily suppress them.

   "Heaven will give great responsibility to the people of this country." Fairy Qingnv said: "The current emperor is rushing to be the emperor, and he must take this position well."

   "I came here on purpose to give you news, I hope I can be prepared, otherwise I will be in **** on earth."

  Li Dandao quickly thanked: "Thank you, fairy, for letting me know in advance."

   "You're welcome." Fairy Qingnv waved her hand: "I can't resist, but the solution, you have to come, either to relieve the emperor, or prepare food..."

   After she finished speaking, Fairy Qingnv disappeared again.

  Li Dandao frowned.

   This **** emperor.

   Now that the imperial court is going to fight, the food is already in short supply, where will the food come from for disaster relief?

   Such a large area of ​​drought must be caused by the dragon clan. It is estimated that they are dissatisfied with killing the Jinghe Dragon Lord.

  The God of Plague also came to join in the fun.

  This wave after wave, where is the way to survive!

  Li Dandao pulled his face directly into the palace.

   And Li Shimin threw the bowl there, with a tyrannical expression: "Those Turks, a barbarian outside the customs, dare to accuse me!"

   Next to Yuchi Jingde said: "The Turkic Khan Jieli is not the prime minister of the king, but thinking that your Majesty is in the upper position now, the country is unstable, and I want to loot a sum."

   "Then you can just find a sour scholar and write it down, so why should Your Majesty be angry?"

   "He sent 100,000 troops and went straight to Chang'an. This is not a situation where he just wanted to loot."

   "But he said that 100,000 elite soldiers and horses were on a crusade. He couldn't have 100,000 elite soldiers even with people and horses. He didn't occupy the city, he looted all the way, and just wrapped the people to attack the city."

  Li Shimin calmed down and said, "I ordered Chang'an to impose martial law. Jingde, you lead 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 soldiers. As the marching officer, you must stop him."

  Li Shimin saw Li Dan coming again, but he asked: "You came just right, but there are some talented people who can set up barriers to block these Turks. It's best to curse and kill things."

  Li Dandao looked at Li Shimin carefully, then looked up and down: Are you sure you're not joking?

   Li Shimin sighed: "I'm sitting in this position, why are so many people dissatisfied?"

  Li Dan said, "It took the Emperor Taishang nine years, and it will take another nine years to come to His Majesty."

   "I don't like listening to what you say." Li Shimin was in a very bad mood, but he restrained himself: "How is the plague?"

   "The plague is just the beginning, Your Majesty, the drought is coming."

   "Where?" Li Shimin sat up immediately.

   "The entire north, including Chang'an." Li Dandao combined with what Fairy Qingnv said: "Your Majesty should make plans early."

   "Is your news accurate?" Li Shimin calmed down: "Didn't it rain in Chang'an the day before yesterday?"

  Li Dan asked, "Your Majesty doesn't believe it?"

   Li Shimin was annoyed: "Dry or not, how do I know? Call Si Nong and Shang Mujian here!"

  Si Nong is in charge of farming, an ancient official position since Zhou, Shang Mujian is responsible for raising horses, Li Shimin's horse raising place has always been in Longxi, Lanzhou, and even Qinghai.

  If there is a severe drought, not only agriculture will be affected, but the output of war horses will also be affected.

   In fighting the Turks, war horses are very important.

   Soon two officials were called, both very respectful.

   "Is there any sign of a major drought recently?"

   Shang Mujian said directly: "Report to Your Majesty, Wei Chen is about to report this matter, and a large number of locust larvae have appeared on the horse farm."

   "It just hasn't grown into wings..."

Si Nong also said: "Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor, but no signs of severe drought have been found, but since March in Shandong, there has been no rain, and now it has been more than two months. If there is still no rain after summer, I am afraid …”

   Li Shimin felt tired for a while: "The horse farm must not be lost, is there a way to solve the locust plague?"

  Li Dan said: "You can raise some ducks. If a horse farm raises hundreds or thousands of ducks, it shouldn't be a problem."

   "Or call birds to rule them, Your Majesty can find some capable people who can "tune birds".

   It is unrealistic to eat locusts. Without heavy oil and salt, Li Dandao, a chef, is not easy to deal with.

   "Those locusts are not only found in the horse farm, but also in other places, including the crops." Sinong said: "Last year's snow was thin..."

   Li Shimin sighed and asked, "Can locusts be eaten?"

  Li Dandao did not expect Li Shimin to ask this question voluntarily.

   "Folk children eat it with fire, but the taste is hard to say." Sinong said.

Li Shimin has eaten locusts in history, and said: "People take grain as their life, and if you harm them, you will harm my people. The people have it, and it is given to one person. If you are psychic, you should eat me, and it will not harm me. civil."

   But it was obviously a political show, and the advisors stopped him.

Li Dan thought about it: "Your Majesty eats the locusts first, the officials will eat it together, and the people will eat it, so you won't be afraid of the locusts, just find a few cooks, study how to do it, and then promote it, it's really not good, Your Majesty Buy locusts with money, dry them in the sun, and grind them into powder when there is a severe drought, and cook porridge along with the food for disaster relief.”

  Si Nong and Shang Mujian both showed strange eyes.

   "They can eat people, not to mention locusts." Li Dandao snorted when he saw the strange eyes of the two.

   "Good way!" Li Shimin thought it was good: "What about the drought? Looking for the Master of Louguan to ask for rain?"
