The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin looked unhappy when he heard the result.

"There is little rain this spring..." Li Shimin sighed.

The official of the Imperial Observatory was silent for a long time, bowed his body, and said with his hands folded.

"Your Majesty, it is not that there is little rain, but at present, there is no rain..."

When he said this, he was terrified, and even his voice trembled a little.

No rain means drought, and the people who plow the land in spring need water...

Even if it barely supports the spring plowing, the impact on the crops in the field is still huge.

"No?!" Li Shimin asked, "Really?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from your Majesty." The official of the Imperial Observatory bowed his head and responded.

Li Shimin's face was serious, and then he said: "You people of the Imperial Observatory should continue to observe and continue to observe. If there is any change, report it to me in time."

"Yes."

"Retreat." Li Shimin waved his hand.

The officials of the Imperial Observatory left the Liangyi Hall, and Li Shimin leaned back and closed his eyes.

This is really not good news.

In fact, there is more bad news than this.

The people who were originally sent to the counties around Chang'an City to check the soil conditions have also returned. According to the information given by Shitou, they were asked to find the corresponding environment, dig up the soil on the surface, and check the situation in the shallow soil. Sure enough, they found a lot of locust eggs.

Li Shimin also hoped that this was fake, and this was not some locust eggs.

After all, I have never seen or heard of such a situation in the ground before.

This year is different.

After all, no one went to dig in the ground in advance to find these in the past, but it does not mean that they do not exist. It's just that after the rain in the spring in the past, I don't know why, they were not hatched, and naturally, there would be no locust plague.

"Go find Li Wu, and prepare horses." Li Shimin said, "Summon Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, and ask them to wait outside Fanglin Gate."

"Yes." The eunuch beside Li Shimin responded.

Li Shimin got up and went to the side hall, and asked the palace servants to change his clothes for him.

After changing into casual clothes, Li Wu waited in Liangyi Hall.

Coming out of the side hall, Li Shimin said to Li Wu, "Take two people and follow me out of the palace."

"Yes." Li Wu bowed and responded.

Li Shimin took four guards from the Hundred Cavalry Division and rode straight to Fanglin Gate.

Changsun Wuji and his men got the news, and they didn't know that the emperor was going to leave the palace, so they also changed into casual clothes, rode over, and waited outside. Not long after, the two groups met outside Fanglin Gate.

"Where is your majesty going?" Changsun Wuji asked.

He had a vague answer in his heart.

"Go to the manor of King Jingyang." After Li Shimin said this, he lifted the reins, exerted a little force with his legs, and rode ahead in the direction of Jingyang County.

The people behind hurried to catch up.

The group galloped on horseback and rushed to the manor of Jingyang County.

On the manor side, Li Fu was not idle these two days. He checked the children's homework and guided the children's homework to improve it for them.

The children's ideas were very serious. Under Li Fu's guidance, their homework completion was gradually improving.

Of course, Li Fu was not only busy teaching the children, but also instructed Lao Zhou to arrange people to purchase poultry, no matter big or small, they must be alive!

Even if they were put in cages in the West Market to be killed for meat, as long as they were alive, they would be bought back and temporarily found a place to put them.

Gradually, more and more poultry were purchased, and the house could not accommodate them, so they had to find a way to get them outside, but where could they be accommodated outside?

Li Fu simply ordered people to build a fence for raising poultry on the side of the house, relying on the outer wall of the house, using wood, bamboo, branches, etc.

Just simply fence it up to prevent the poultry from running away, and build a shed to protect against wind and rain by relying on the courtyard wall, which will be enough for the time being.

The house faces north and south. If the entire courtyard wall on the west side is not enough, the entire courtyard wall on the east side can also be expanded according to this standard to build a fence for raising poultry.

When Li Chengqian and his friends saw so many more poultry around the house, they immediately understood what their uncle Wang wanted to do.

Uncle Wang’s words "Do your best and leave it to fate" are not giving up or sighing, but really trying to do it.

Even if it is just a little change, try your best.

Raise a large number of poultry. When there are locusts, poultry will feed on locusts to reduce the disaster of locusts.

The place near the east and west walls of the house suddenly became noisy, and,Raising so many chickens, ducks and geese at once doesn't make them taste good.

It's okay if the wind blows from the north or south, but once the wind direction is wrong, the whole house will suffer.

Although Lao Zhou was worried, it was his husband's order after all, and he also knew why his husband did it, so he didn't say much. He just did whatever his husband asked him to do. Anyway, just bear with it and it will pass in the future.

This old house can be messed up a little bit, anyway, the new big house is already under construction, and we will move out in the future.

Lao Zhou has always comforted himself in this way.

After all, a good house, where a prince lives, is always filled with the smell of raising poultry, which makes people feel that it is not presentable.

Although Li Chengqian and others grew up in pampered, facing the current situation, they not only did not dislike anything, but went to see the poultry with great interest every day, and even fed them a few handfuls.

Li Chengqian was holding a basket, standing outside the fence, throwing some vegetable leaves left in the kitchen into the fence.

The chickens, ducks and geese became more active when they saw food, and gathered together to fight for the leaves when they fell to the ground.

No one had told anyone that Li Shimin was going to leave the palace to come to Jingyang County, it was a sudden decision.

When he came to the farm, he went straight to Li Fu's house.

After he came, he saw the changes in the house from a distance.

When he got closer, he took a look.

Why is the King of Jingyang raising poultry again? Why is there such a large area outside his house to raise poultry? It must take a lot of food to feed these poultry every day?

Oh? Someone is feeding those chickens, ducks and geese........

!!!

Why does that figure look more and more familiar?

Chengqian? !!!

Li Shimin had good eyesight. Even from a distance, he could see that the one who was turning around and leaving with the basket was his eldest son.

The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian!

Changsun Wuji was standing nearby, and he also saw it.

Li Shimin quickly rode his horse over there.
