I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

When Li Yuxin saw Lin Beifan's look, she knew what he was worried about and said with a smile:"Don't worry, adults. It's not a big deal. They just collectively had a bad stomach. They have already taken medicine and will be fine after two days of rest!""

"So that’s the case, I’m relieved! Lin Beifan smiled and extended the invitation:"Miss Yuxin, it's been a long time since you came to my house!" It's better to meet by chance than an invitation. Come to my house tonight and have a casual meal before leaving. My wife has been thinking about you!"

"Thank you for the invitation, sir, but the little girl is so disrespectful!"Li Yuxin's heart was filled with joy.

The two returned to the Lin Mansion talking and laughing.

Lin Beifan had to go to the study to handle some matters, and Master Li received Li Yuxin.

Master Li was very happy:"Sister Yuxin, you are finally here, look. You have lost a lot of weight!"

"Sister Shishi, long time no see, your complexion looks better and better! Li Yuxin was also very happy. She grabbed Master Li's hand and said,"I heard that you often talk about me, so I came to see you!""

"I often talk about you... No?"Master Li blinked.

"There's none?"Li Yuxin looked confused.

Li Shishi turned his eyes slightly and laughed softly:"Actually, it's your husband who often talks about you! It is said that the days without you are like years! So sister Yuxin, you must come often when you have time!"

"Sir...really talks about me all the time?"Li Yuxin was surprised and shy.

"Can I still lie to you? Master Li smiled and said:"So you must come often and treat this place like home. I want to be a good sister with you for life!""

"Um!"Li Yuxin lowered her head and replied as softly as a mosquito.

At this time, the little princess ran in in a hurry:"Come on, come on, I'm here, what's good to eat tonight? Is dinner ready? My stomach is almost hungry!

Master Li smiled and said,"Little princess, it's almost here!" Just wait for half a stick of incense and that’s it!"

"Yeah!"The little princess nodded happily.

Lin Beifan was quarreled and said helplessly:"I don't usually see you, but you are very active when eating!"

"If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain!"The little princess spoke plausibly.

"If you eat too aggressively, you will have nervous problems! Lin Beifan said with a straight face:"Let me see, which nerve of yours is wrong to make you so neurotic?""

"Hate! You are such a bad guy, I went to the kitchen and ignored you!"

The yard was full of laughter and laughter.

However, at this time, King Jiangnan, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was in a bad mood.

At this time, he was sweating profusely when he came to the farmland under the fierce sun.

It looked a little dry. There are rivers and rice seedlings that are gradually withering. I am worried:"What's going on with this damn weather?" There hasn't been a drop of rain for three months in a row, and the weather is still so hot that the riverbeds have dried up... If this continues, the food harvest will be short!"

He is now in a critical period of raising troops. He will only wait until the autumn harvest and the food is fully prepared before he can start an uprising!

If there is a lack of food, the military strength will be greatly reduced.

A group of officials nearby were trembling with fear, fearing that the prince would punish him..

King Jiangnan did not blame them, because he knew clearly that this had nothing to do with them.

With the weather like this, how could it be done by human beings?

Looking up and looking at the big sun shining in the sky, King Jiangnan wiped away the hot sweat. , couldn't help but scolded:"God, you gave me a flood last year, but this year there is a drought. Are you deliberately going against me?" A thought came to his mind:"

By the way, how is the food situation in the capital?""

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

"Rich, come and tell me! King Jiangnan said with a straight face:"I want to tell you everything, tell it like it is!" If you dare to lie about military information, I will question you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Wang Fugui stood up bravely and said with cupped hands:"Your Majesty, since the beginning of the new year, the capital has been experiencing good weather, warm as spring, and the food is growing well! Coupled with Fuyin's large-scale water conservancy construction, the introduction of eight agricultural methods, and the expansion of fertilizer varieties, increasing grain production this year will not be a problem!"

"Damn it!"The king of Jiangnan gritted his teeth angrily.

His life was getting worse day by day, but the enemy was getting better and better. He felt so uncomfortable when he heard that!

Especially when he thought that the opponent still had a large amount of food reserves, he felt even more uncomfortable!

His face turned black with anger. When

Wang Fugui saw this scene, he secretly thought something was wrong and said quickly:"Your Majesty, although our situation is not very good, the situation in Northern Hebei and Wuxi is not good!"

"The land in northern Hebei has always been a barren land with limited food production! Nowadays, the population loss is serious and there are fewer people farming. This year’s grain production will definitely be poor!"

"The land of Wuxi is also in a similar situation! And now, they are still being harassed by the rebels and are constantly losing troops and generals. The situation is even worse than ours!"

"Among the three princes, our situation is relatively good!"

"That's true!"The face of King Jiangnan finally changed for the better.

This is a bad era. Although I am bad, as long as you are worse than me, then I will be happy and satisfied.

Looking at the withered rice fields, Wang Fugui looked worried:"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"What else can be done?"The King of Jiangnan said angrily:"Hurry up and dig rivers, dig deep wells, and bring the water here, otherwise there will be no food to eat this year!"

"Yes... Your Majesty, please ask someone to do it!"

At this moment, a buzzing sound came from the distance.

King Jiangnan and others turned their heads and looked over, only to see densely packed insects forming a black mass, overwhelming.

King Jiangnan was confused:"What... is this? ah?"

Many officials were frightened.

"Locust plague!"

"This is a locust plague!"

……

I saw this swarm of locusts flying quickly over everyone, leaving only the devastated rice fields.

King Jiangnan cried out sadly:"My food!"

The matter quickly spread to the court, and the empress immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

"There is a locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is ravaging the rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River! According to the information uploaded below, this locust plague has reached a once-in-a-hundred-year scale and is causing huge harm! This locust plague is migrating towards the capital. Dear friends, how can we prevent it?"

The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty smiled bitterly. How to prevent and control this locust plague?

The locust plague, floods and droughts are one of the three most destructive natural disasters!

Among them, the locust plague is particularly terrifying. They are huge in number, come and go like the wind, and cannot be eliminated at all. Fall out and cannot be controlled!

Once it appears, it will bring huge destructive power, leading to reduced farmland production and revenue!

This is simply beyond human control!

Under the eyes of the empress, all the officials lowered their heads.

The empress looked Xiang Lin Beifan, with a hint of expectation:"Lin Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, I have some immature suggestions! Lin Beifan clasped his hands.

The empress's eyes lit up:"Say!""

"Your Majesty, the chickens and ducks we usually raise actually eat locusts! As long as we release chickens and ducks, do we still have to worry about locust plagues? Lin Beifan chuckled.

The empress's eyes brightened:"This idea sounds good!""

"But Your Majesty, there are too many locusts, and the number of chickens and ducks we raise in captivity is too small, so we may not be able to solve the locust plague!

The empress' eyes dimmed:"That's it!""

"Your Majesty, I have another plan!

The empress' eyes lit up again:"Say!""

"In fact, locusts taste quite delicious and are nutritious. Chickens, ducks and geese can’t eat them all. We can let people catch them and eat them!" Lin Beifan said again.

The Empress's eyes brightened:"It sounds feasible!"

"However, locusts are too difficult to catch. They are so numerous that ordinary people can’t catch just a few. We’d better save some effort! The empress's eyes dimmed again:"

Yes, locusts are hard to catch!""

"Your Majesty, I have another plan……"

The empress was angry!

This guy couldn't talk enough, he was hanging her up and down, it was so abominable!

Gritting his teeth, he said:"My dear, are you deliberately playing tricks on me?"

Lin Beifan felt aggrieved:"Your Majesty, how dare I do this! I just said it, these are immature suggestions, it's you If you insist on telling me, if you don't say it, you are disobeying the decree!"

The empress was so angry that she wanted to knock his head off and use it as a ball to kick!

This little bastard has become more and more naughty recently. He often makes fun of her. How can this be unreasonable?

"Dear, please just tell me the final solution! Lin

Beifan cupped his hands and said:"This... I really have no choice. Your Majesty, please understand!""

There is no way to completely solve this locust plague now, let alone in ancient times?

Even in modern times, prevention is the main priority. Prevention and control by spraying pesticides, or directly using natural enemies of locusts such as chickens, ducks, and birds. If the scale of the locust plague is large, direct Spraying pesticides, but how could such conditions exist in ancient times?

The empress' eyes dimmed.

"However, actually don’t worry too much!

The empress' eyes became bright again:"Why did Aiqing say this?" Lin

Beifan smiled and said:"This locust plague is indeed a huge threat to me, but its appearance is conditional!" Generally, locust plagues only occur when the weather is hot and dry! This is exactly the case in the land of Jiangnan! However, our capital city has had good weather since the beginning of the new year, with abundant rain and humid air. The threat of locust plague to us is limited!"

"One can only hope so!"The empress sighed worriedly.

At this time, his two brothers also knew about the locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River.

The land of Wuxi was the palace.

King Wuxi was very happy after knowing this and laughed:"Emperor Brother, Brother Emperor, how are you going to fight with me without food? In this battle for the throne, you are going to be eliminated early! Ha ha!"

"Come on, please keep an eye on the locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River! As soon as there is any situation, report it immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The land of northern Hebei, the royal palace.

The king of northern Hebei was also very happy, with a smile on his face:"Emperor brother, we have been hit by two natural disasters in a row. Is this considered God's will? It seems that you are no longer destined for the throne! Come on, please send that bell back to King Jiangnan to comfort him! Ha ha!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
