Li Xiaogong saw that Li Chengqian's expression had relaxed a little and also relaxed.
He thought to himself that he really had to introduce someone to her…
Li Chengqian didn't think too much about it. The disaster on Hedong Road was within his expectations.
To be honest, the disaster in Hedong Road was even more serious than that in Guannei Road.
Li Xiaogong's mission this time was also different from Wei Zheng's!
Wei Zheng was simply sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. When the disaster was over, he could return to the capital.
Li Xiaogong was sent to guard Hedong Road and take charge of all government affairs. This meant that after the disaster relief was over, he would stay there to continue guiding the work.
Li Chengqian muttered as he met Li Xiaogong's expectant gaze.
" If King Hejian does not have enough food for the disaster relief, he can also follow Lord Wei's strategy of " counting merit by stone " and raise food relief locally…"
"There are many Daoist clans in the east of the river and they are deeply rooted.”
" In addition, the snow won't stop so soon. It won't stop until spring. It's difficult to plowing the land when it's frozen…"
"I happen to have an item that can be used. This item is called the 'Quyuan Plow'!”
"I won't go into details with you. King Hejian just needs to take this blueprint and find a local craftsman to help him forge it!”
"After the spring plowing, remember to worry about the people everywhere. Turn the soil in the fields and burn the straw. As for the goal... Burn and kill the eggs in advance. Otherwise, the days of Hedong Road next year will be difficult…"
......
Li Chengqian didn't care if Li Xiaogong understood or not, so he simply explained everything to him.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong was completely dumbfounded!
Li Xiaogong was still holding the drawing of the Quyuan Plow that he had just received. He had not even had the time to take a look before he was frightened by Li Chengqian's words.
What frozen soil spring plowing was difficult to carry out? Burning straws to kill the eggs?
There were actually locusts?
Could this be a disaster that would only descend if one angered the gods?
Did he just step into a mountain of blades and a sea of flames on this trip to Hedong Road?
Li Xiaogong, who had never been afraid in his entire life, was now scared by Li Chengqian's "instructions"…
At this time, Li Xiaogong already had the intention to retreat in his heart. He wondered if he could discuss with Li Er and let someone else be the general manager of the Hedong Road Army.
This was clearly risking his life!
King Hejian, are you alright?"
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. He looked up at Li Xiaogong in front of him and realized that the other party's expression was still not quite right.
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong recovered his senses and shook his head calmly.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness.”
Li Chengqian nodded in relief.
"King Hejian should understand what I just said, right?”
"Actually, it's not difficult. When King Hejian arrives at the east of the river, all the problems will be solved…"
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Li Xiaogong did not think so in his heart.
He thought to himself that he would probably not have a few good days after he took office.
Even the locust plague was released, how could he not be afraid?
Li Xiaogong gathered his thoughts and looked at Li Chengqian hesitantly.
"Your Highness, you just said that there will be a locust plague in the east of the river. How did you find out?”
Li Xiaogong struggled internally. On one hand, he believed what Li Chengqian said, while on the other hand, he questioned the locust plague's speculation.
Even the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor couldn't predict the locust plague, right?
This kind of natural disaster was not a joke. At the very least, the heads of the provincial capitals would fall, and at the very least, even the imperial authority would be questioned.
Li Xiaogong also hesitated for a long time before asking. He was worried that he would anger Li Chengqian.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian did not care. Facing Li Xiaogong's doubts, Li Chengqian thought for a moment and explained.
" Before autumn, the east of the river and other places suffered from a drought. Now, there is a frost and snow disaster. After the disaster, there will definitely be a plague of insects…"
Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Li Xiaogong exclaimed on the spot.
"What is it? There's still the plague?"
After shouting this sentence, Li Xiaogong finally realized that the person in front of him was the Crown Prince. He hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.
"This lowly official was rude, I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me.”
Li Chengqian did not mind. These words were indeed somewhat shocking.
Although these were all facts, it would take time for the ancient people to adapt to natural disasters.
Li Xiaogong was already in a mess, and his head was buzzing.
As for how he had walked out of the Eastern Palace, even he himself had forgotten.
Fortunately, he did not lose the blueprint in his hand. He walked all the way to the royal study in a daze…
Seeing Li Xiaogong leave with a dumbfounded expression, Wu Meiniang, who was serving at the side, also looked at Li Chengqian with a shocked expression.
"Your Highness, how did you predict that the snow disaster on Hedong Road would continue?”
"How did you know that there would be a locust plague next year?”
"How did Your Highness know about the plague?”
"Could it be that these are all your guesses, Your Highness?”
During this period of time, Wu Meiniang had been accompanying Li Chengqian, never leaving his side.
If Li Chengqian heard any news from outside the palace, Wu Meiniang would definitely be the first to know!
However, before the disaster on Hedong Road broke out, Wu Meiniang did not see Li Chengqian receive a single letter. At the same time, Li Chengqian had not left the Eastern Palace for several days.
Then everything that Li Chengqian and Li Xiaogong said just now was Li Chengqian's guess!
