Chapter 386: Old Li's Worries
"Brother Zhao!"
A voice came from behind, and Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
Except for those guys in the city, no one would call themselves like that.
He stood up straight and looked back, and saw Old Li and Wei Zheng walking towards him.
Zhao Chen was quite happy to see Wei Zheng.
This old guy also knows to come and see him.
However, Zhao Chen was also a little sad to leave all the affairs of the academy to him alone.
But Old Li is here too.
Zhao Chen didn't know what to say to him for a moment.
"Zhao Chen, you are not authentic. Leave me, I'm here alone to enjoy it." Wei Zheng walked to Zhao Chen and patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder hard, as if just to vent his anger.
"I enjoy it, it's clearly for the sake of eating." Zhao Chen shook his head and sat down on the ridge beside him.
Wei Zheng was also casual and found a place with green grass to sit down.
Old Li was the guy who went to the field himself, and he was lying on the green grass at that time.
He said, "No wonder you guys come here, it's really much more comfortable than in the city."
"I have time to go with your aunt and I have to take you to rest and relax and relax."
Zhao Chen knew about Old Li's words, and he did not know the specific reason why he left Chang'an City.
"Come on, it's not too far anyway. Experience the lives of the people. Working from sunrise and resting from sunset, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Chen smiling, just saying casually.
But Old Li obviously just said that.
He had just heard what the village chief said at the entrance of the village, and was already anxious.
Then what's the mood to come here to play?
"Zhao, on the way we came just now, the village chief we met at the entrance of the village. He heard from him that you asked them to go to Chang'an City to buy eggs that can hatch chickens and duck eggs."
"What do you mean is that there will be a locust plague soon after this year?" Old Li sat up and stared at Zhao Chen.
Although Wei Zheng didn't say anything, he still held his ears and prepared to listen to Zhao Chen's opinions.
He believed that Zhao Chen would not say such things for no reason.
If a locust plague is not handled properly, it will cause a big mess.
Don't dare to talk nonsense!
"I had already informed you of this matter in advance last winter. Now I'm still asking, what's the point?" Zhao Chen looked at Old Li's head and said lightly.
Unlike the passion of the past, there is a hint of alienation in the words.
Li Shimin obviously didn't notice it, or rather, his mind was already on this locust plague at this moment.
Wei Zheng frowned without any trace.
He found that Zhao Chen's words were different from before.
In the past, when Zhao Chen talked to the emperor, no matter what, he would call Lao Li first and then laugh at him for a few words.
But this time not.
"As the saying goes, there will be locusts after a long drought. Since the beginning of spring this year, there have been less than three spring rains in Chang'an City."
"Last winter, no heavy snow fell. Locust eggs grew in the ground. When the weather was hot, they were about to fly out." Zhao Chen still said to Li Shimin with a calm expression.
"That's...
"There is no good way. This is a natural disaster, but you have to try to control it to avoid causing man-made disasters."
"The emperor is not easy to do, especially when encountering such a situation, Lao Li... Your Majesty doesn't care what others say, you have to remember that this is a natural disaster, a climate problem, and what you have done on weekdays, nothing has it done.
Any relationship.”
"After going back, let the people below investigate clearly how many places are facing the same problems as Chang'an City."
"The people are completely prohibited from preying and selling frogs, lizards, birds, and various bees. These are the natural enemies of locusts."
"In addition, hatch more chickens, ducks, geese and other birds as much as possible. If the locusts are strong, they will dig a hole on the edge of the field to burn fire. The locusts are afraid of fire and dare not approach the crops."
This time, Zhao Chen did not make things difficult for Lao Li, nor did he talk to Li Shimin.
Even the three words "Old Li" became His Majesty when he spoke.
"You boy, there is still a way. I was worried before, but I couldn't even think of a way. I didn't expect that you would have so many ideas."
"Brother Zhao, you have almost rested here. Today I will go back with someone to help me do this." Li Shimin was very happy, got up and stood in front of Zhao Chen, and patted his shoulder excitedly.
"It's not possible yet. The matter here has not been handled yet. I will go back after I finish my work."
"And Your Majesty is already prepared, so this locust plague is naturally no big deal."
"By the way, you must ask clearly what the situation is and why there has been no report for so long."
"The locust plague is not a joke..." Zhao Chen wanted to say something, but when he reached this point, he suddenly stopped.
He looked at Wei Zheng beside him and smiled and said, "Old Wei, the students of the academy will ask you and tell them that the teacher will remember the soap matter in his heart."
"Zhao..."
"Okay, it's getting late, and the locust plague is not a joke. The faster you deal with it, the safer it will be. Now when you go back, you can still get dinner." Wei Zheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Chen.
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Zhao Chen who was bowing to digging a hole in the ground, but he didn't say a word after all.
...
"Master Cui, why are you here again today?" Li Chengqian looked at Cui Yan in front of him with a little displeasure.
After all, Li Chengqian couldn't bear the banquet at Li Zheng Hall before, Empress Changsun's words.
He knew that Empress Changsun's words were not just for their brothers and sisters to listen to.
In fact, it also includes Zhao Chen.
After all, Li Chengqian did not say anything to allow Empress Changsun to marry Cui from Boling.
Now Zhao Chen has left too, and he didn't even say hello.
Li Chengqian didn't understand, and Cui Yan came to him to do something.
"Come and see Your Highness the Crown Prince." Cui Yan didn't take Li Chengqian's discomfortable attitude toward him.
"I am very good. If the head of the Cui family is fine, please leave earlier. I still have something to do." Li Chengqian knew what Cui Yan was doing when he came to find him.
But now he doesn't want to do that.
"It seems that the Crown Prince was persuaded by the Empress and didn't want to attack Zhao Chen anymore." Cui Yan said with a smile.
"The Empress is my biological mother. I don't want to make her sad. As for Zhao Chen's life and death, it has nothing to do with me." Li Chengqian said coldly.
"I understand. Since Zhao Chen chose to leave Chang'an City, there is naturally no need for the Prince's Highness to take action. I will send someone to settle him. Today, I will ask the Prince's Highness to rest."
"If there is a place to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince for help in the future, I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will not refuse." Cui Yan smiled and bowed to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, looking at Cui Yan's leaving expressionlessly.
"Satisfied, reveal the news that Cui Yan came to the East Palace today to Cheng Chumo." After a long time, Li Chenggan suddenly gave an inexplicable order.
"ah?"
