Datang: Valkyrie chat group

This...Your Majesty, finally turned his attention to Goguryeo.

Historically, this...His Majesty King Tang belonged to Goguryeo. Now, as Silla unified the southern part of the Korean peninsula, Tang Feng killed [-] Goguryeo troops. I don't think it's strange.

"Your Majesty, the situation of the Silla dynasty has just stabilized. In my opinion, if you want to start a war against Goguryeo, the best time is to wait for Silla to completely control the entire southern region. At that time, it is the best policy for the two sides to attack from the north to the south."

After pondering for a moment, Tang Feng spoke.

Hearing this, King Tang nodded.

"Right now, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, so I won't make any big moves. Let's talk about everything after the autumn harvest."

Tang Wang said with a smile.

Leaving Daming Palace, Tang Feng did not linger, and returned directly to the Marquis' Mansion.

Today, he could hear Tang Wang Li Er's words clearly. He first asked about the situation of the recruits, and then asked about the chances of winning the war against Goguryeo. Obviously, in his words, he had already been designated as the commander of the Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo.

Born to work hard! Tang Feng sighed inwardly.

However, he is very clear that the current state treasury of the Tang Dynasty can no longer support these successive wars, and it will be after the autumn harvest if they want to conquer Goguryeo.

In other words, he still has some leisure time.

Thinking of King Tang mentioning Changle, Tang Feng is also planning to go to Anyang.

The last time he went to Anyang was when Changle gave birth. Originally, he went again when he was preparing the baby's full moon wine, but it was delayed because of the war.

Now, taking advantage of this time, I want to visit the mother and son.

Inside Anyang City.

Every time Tang Feng came here, he would find that this once bleak county town was undergoing changes.

With the goods produced under the Tang Corporation as support, Anyang's economy is growing day by day.

Without staying on the street, Tang Feng rushed directly to the location of Anyang Tang Mansion.

"Lord Hou."

Butler Tang Fu came up and bowed to salute.

"These days, nothing happened"

Thinking of the crazy orphan of the former prince, Tang Feng asked.

"Madam and young master are all well."

Tang Fu bowed in response.

In the house, Tang Feng saw this little woman who was thinking about it day and night again.

After more than two months, he could clearly see that the little woman was much thinner than before, and he didn't know whether it was because of her body's recovery after giving birth, or because of the labor of the child.

"Thanks a lot."

Tang Feng gently hugged the little girl into his arms, and said apologetically.

"Being able to see you is enough for me."

Chang Le shook his head, leaned on Tang Feng's chest and said.

After a long absence, the two of them naturally have countless things to say.

From morning to afternoon, the two of them are always together.

During this period, Tang Feng also fulfilled his father's responsibility once.

He is a man in two lifetimes, and he is also a father for the first time, without any experience, that clumsy movement made Chang Le giggle.

For the next few days, Tang Feng stayed in the mansion without going anywhere.

After finally coming here, he just wanted to fulfill his duties as a husband and father.

However, happy days are always short-lived.

Accidents will happen.

A huge locust plague caused all those who were looking forward to a good harvest to suddenly fall into a nightmare.

When this news came, Tang Feng was... still a little dazed.

Chapter 715: Sudden Changes in the Situation

Maybe it's because the Tang Dynasty has been so smooth this year, God deliberately sent a little disaster to test the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

All the court officials were summoned here.

In front of the King of Tang, there are piles of copybooks and playbooks like mountains.

These ...... memorials, without exception, are all reports of disasters in various places.

"Currently, the most severely affected areas are mainly concentrated in the east of Shanxi, the south of Hebei and the north of Henan. Among them, the east of Shanxi is the most severely affected area. The locusts cover the sky and block out the sun. Wherever they pass, all the grass and trees are gone. "

Tang Wang Li Er sat there, his majestic face was full of gloomy, angry eyes, almost about to burst into flames, as if he was about to kill someone.

The impact of this disaster on... Datang was really too great, it completely surpassed Li Er's psychological defense.

In the past year, the wars everywhere have consumed a lot of treasury, and it has become somewhat unable to afford it.

Originally, the crops in Datang were plentiful and growing very well. Only by this autumn harvest, the treasury could be replenished, and then he could once again wield the army of Datang to start a battle. But now, a sudden The locust plague disrupted all his plans.

The Eastern Road of Shanxi, the southern part of the Hebei Road, and the northern part of the Henan Road, these......areas are all places where the Tang Dynasty was rich in grain. Now, these places have suffered the most serious disasters, which means that this Once the autumn harvest was almost wiped out.

In an era dominated by agriculture, the whole society is very fragile.

Especially the lowest-level peasant households, after a year's work, they often don't have much food leftover, and a disaster may drive them all to a dead end.

This plague of locusts has directly led to a year of work in vain, and everyone knows what this means.

God knows how many people will starve to death after this locust plague.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to rescue the disaster as soon as possible."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

The others nodded in agreement.

The first priority, indeed, is... disaster relief.

In such a large-scale famine, the peasants did not have food, and for a long time, a carelessness may cause a civil uprising.

It is not easy for a powerful country to disintegrate from the outside, but if it is to fester internally, it is a terrible thing.

"I also know disaster relief, how to rescue it"

Tang Wang was very upset, looked at the important officials in front of him, and asked loudly.

To save is to save, but how to save is a question.

Nearly 20 years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after the painstaking management of the Tang king Li Er, the country with many holes gradually stabilized. Now, the entire Tang Dynasty is considered safe and peaceful.

However, a snowstorm last year consumed a lot of food stored in various treasuries, and now there is a locust plague, and it is a bit stretched to open warehouses to save the people.

As for the national treasury, the one-year war consumes it, and there is not enough food to support all parties.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

This is not a one-day or two-day thing.

Without the food for the autumn harvest, just these... the people of the Tang Dynasty will almost live without food for the next year.

Hundreds of thousands of people, one year's consumption, this is not only a huge number that can be included.

Many disasters.

After a year of wars between the South and the North, the Tang Dynasty opened up its borders and expanded its territory, with momentum like a rainbow, but now, a natural disaster directly knocked this... king to the bottom of the valley.

Talking about external expansion, right now, whether...whether he can overcome this difficulty, he has no answer in his heart.

Anyang.

Tang Feng stood there, on the horizon, a mass of yellow clouds and mist covered the sky and passed by, and the golden wheat ears between the fields were instantly obliterated.

The fields, which were golden just now, seem to have been covered with a yellow coat.

Wriggling locusts.

The rustling and biting sound that came from the ear was creepy.

There are several locusts crawling on each crop, and the farmers' one-year labor has become a feeding ground for locusts.

In an instant, the golden ears of wheat disappeared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Human strength is extremely weak in the face of natural disasters.

As a human being in two lifetimes, it was also the first time he saw the locust plague with his own eyes. The millions of locusts flew across the air with their wings spread, leaving only despair.

But at this time, it was hundreds of miles away from Tang Peak.

A young man looks at the same picture.

"Haha, it's God helping me, that...the executioner killed brothers and brothers, and forced the father to push back. This must be a punishment from heaven."

Young people are crazy.

Standing there, looking at the locust not far away, he laughed crazily.

For a long time, I almost died from laughing, tears streaming down my face, and then I stopped.

"I'll see how you turn around this time."

The young man stopped, looked at Chang'an, looked in the direction of Daming Palace, and said coldly to himself.

The young man whispered a few words to the figure beside him, and then a dozen figures left here.

Inside Daming Palace.

It was still a dead silence.

.........On weekdays, all the civil servants who are eloquent and unparalleled in strategy have become dumb.

Standing there with head down, like a child who has done something wrong.

The house leaked and the front continued to rain overnight.

Inside and outside Chang'an City, rumors arose.

"The plague of locusts is the punishment sent down by the heavens for the king of bad virtue."

Such rumors, I don't know where they came from, but, in a short time, they spread all over the place.

When this rumor spread to Daming Palace, Li Er on the dragon chair had a gloomy expression, as if water was about to drip.

Down below, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other bigwigs were also trembling and dared not speak.

They all know that this...His Majesty, usually seems tolerant and magnanimous, no matter how many fierce quarrels are made in front of him, he will not lose his temper.

But only this thing.

As a founding meritorious service, they know that this is... His Majesty's Ni Lin, whoever touches him will die! "Tang Feng, call Tang Feng to me."

Tang Feng's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, Li Er said directly and loudly.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Dingbei went to Anyang a few days ago, but he hasn't returned yet."

Rong Dequan bowed and said cautiously.

"Send a letter to Anyang and ask him to come back immediately."

Li Er said without doubt.

Perhaps, he didn't know what Tang Feng could do with this matter that even the important ministers couldn't solve, but in his heart, he still held a hope and.

Chapter 716: It's a tragedy

Inside the hall.

A group of civil servants stood there, listening to this... His Majesty's furious voice, but did not speak.
