At noon.
Taiji Palace, Dew Hall.
Confused, Li Er was called to the Dew Palace. Looking at his father who was about to take off his purple hair, he immediately understood that he was going to find Yang Hao and his son today. He bowed respectfully and said,"Father, are you looking for me?"
"I'll give you an errand."
Li Yuan stared at him and said in a deep voice," Help me gather 20,000 chickens, 20,000 ducks, and 10,000 larks today. Prepare to transport them out of the city tomorrow."”
"Yes." Li Er's face turned solemn. He took half a step back and bowed slightly. He said in a powerful voice,"I promise that I will complete the task that father has given me today!”
Li Er paused and looked up at Li Yuan carefully.""Father, what is the use of these poultry?”
"I also want to know if it's useful.”
Li Yuan shook his head and looked into the distance. He said softly,
"You can handle the matters of Hedong Road yourself, but the locust plague in the world is on your shoulders. Can you bear this burden?”
Li Er fell silent.
This question was not easy to answer!
After all, with the drought in Hedong Road, killing a few officials could appease the people's anger. If they mobilized some food for disaster relief, the people would be grateful to the imperial court.
However, locusts were different. The range of locusts was far greater than the drought in the east of the river. The most important thing was to calm the people's hearts. It was not something that could be settled by killing a few officials and sending some relief food. It was a chain reaction!
Li Yuan glanced at the silent Li Er and did not blame him. Instead, he picked up the Bunny Hair Pen and lowered his head to write on the paper.
"There is a disaster in the east of the river, and locusts are rampant. Yang Jingming's test paper was right. The locust plague and drought occurred together, and the most important thing is the lack of food.”
"If there is food, be it the drought or the locust plague, we will be able to get through it after enduring for a while. However, the problem is that the two natural disasters have occurred at the same time, and the disasters in various places will definitely worsen.”
"I'm afraid no amount of food will be enough." Li Yuan shook his head and sighed." As long as the locust plague continues, the amount of grain allocated will be a bottomless pit. No matter how much it is, it won't be enough to fill it. But if the locust plague suddenly disappears, the situation will be different.”
"Could it be that the key to making the locust plague disappear is those poultry?" Li Er asked in disbelief.”
"That's right!" "As long as we have these 20,000 chickens, 20,000 ducks, and 10,000 larks, the locust plague will turn around."”
" Yang Jingming is really an expert!!" Li Er was so excited that he couldn't help but clap his hands in praise. Then, he said seriously,"Father, time is of the essence. I'll go collect them now and guarantee that they'll be done by today!”
After saying that, Li Er bowed and left.
Li Yuan was stunned.
Who was this kid talking about?
Yang Jingming?
What did this have to do with Yang Jingming?
"So he thought it was Yang Jingming's credit?”Li Yuan quickly figured out the reason. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head at his back. He would let him find the truth himself in the future.

Meanwhile, in Yangxing Village.
"Can you really understand me?" Yang Hao squatted on the ground and looked curiously at the three nervous animals in front of him.
Chicken: (Yeah)"
"Quack!" (Yes)"
"Chirp!" (Yeah)"
Yang Hao heard the cries of the chickens and ducks, and at the same time, the meaning of their cries appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. This was very similar to real-time translation, but the translation was not a foreign language, but the language of the chickens and ducks.
"Then I'll give you a job tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, you will bring your subordinates to the fields to help me eat the locusts, understand?" Yang Hao said with a serious face. Now, I'll give you a name for your group.”
As he spoke, Yang Hao patted the old hen's head and said with a solemn expression,""Chicken Team, your name is Chicken One!"
"Duck Team, your name is Duck One!" Yang Hao tilted his head and patted the duck's head again. Then, he looked at the lark and couldn't help but lower his head and fall into deep thought. This bird wasn't easy to get up. After thinking for a long time, he said,"You can continue to be called Lark.”
The chicken was speechless.
The duck was speechless.
Lark was speechless.
