Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The emperor was shocked when he heard this. "Tell me, what kind of disaster will happen?"

"Your Majesty, this is a natural disaster. You must prepare for it early! Natural disasters can be droughts, floods, or locust plagues. No matter what kind of disaster it is, you need to prepare in advance!"

Ji Weisheng was smart. He did not say it was a locust plague right away, but mentioned all three disasters.

"Okay, go back and observe the celestial phenomena closely. Report any findings immediately!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Ji Weisheng left the Qinzheng Hall.

The emperor fell into deep thought, thinking it was a disaster sent from the sky. He had worked tirelessly in the eight years since he came to power, promoting reforms, tackling corruption, and converting the natives into officials, and the country had been stable and peaceful. Why did a disaster send from the sky?

He was worried, so he immediately asked Su Peisheng to select Zhang Tingyu to meet him. He wanted to summon the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

An hour later, Zhang Tingyu and the Minister of Revenue Li Wei hurried over. When the two met, they greeted each other.

"Master Zhang, please go first!"

"Master Li, you're welcome. Let's go in together!"

As they spoke, the two men entered the Qinzheng Hall, bowed, and stood aside, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor told Zhang Tingyu about the observations made by the Imperial Observatory. Zhang Tingyu pondered for a moment and said:

“Your Majesty, I believe that the water conservancy projects built by the Ministry of Works over the years have been quite effective. Droughts and floods can be dealt with with human power. However, the locust plague may be difficult to resist.

According to the Ming Shilu of the previous dynasty, locusts were flying all over the sky, and wherever they passed, no grass grew and no grain was harvested. It was really difficult to deal with! If there is a locust plague next year, we must prepare in advance! "

Li Wei recalled the locust plague he had experienced a few years ago, and said with lingering fear:

"Your Majesty, these locusts are everywhere, flying insects blocking out the sun, it's so scary! Your Majesty, I haven't read much, so I can't say anything profound, but during the reign of the previous emperor, I once went to control locusts, it was so scary! Everyone held torches and killed the insects, but there were too many insects and they couldn't kill them at all."

The emperor nodded slightly. "If that's the case, if there really is a locust plague, we must be prepared in advance!"

At this moment, Su Peisheng came in with a memorial, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial handed over from outside, please take a look!"

The emperor took the letter and took a deep breath. "Kuadai is still seriously ill, but he predicted a locust plague next year. He mentioned the weather in the letter. There are many locust larvae in the soil this season. We must take precautions as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, Kua Dai is the Minister of Works. He has been recuperating at home for more than a year. Now he suddenly submits a memorial. I'm afraid he really has made some discoveries." Li Wei bowed.

"You are right! Tomorrow morning, let all civil and military officials discuss how to prevent the locust plague. Zhang Tingyu, you should also think of more ideas!" the emperor warned.

"Yes, I obey your order!" Zhang Tingyu and Li Wei replied, and then left the Qinzheng Hall.

In the evening, the sun slowly went down and the weather gradually became cooler.

Shen Meimei brought iced milk tea to the Qinzheng Hall to visit the emperor. Her main purpose was to inquire about the emperor's attitude towards controlling the locust plague.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she found that all the concubines were there, each holding a cup of milk tea, and they were not convinced of each other.

"Your concubine pays her respects to Concubine Hui. May Your Majesty be well! Did Your Majesty bring iced milk tea again today? I also brought iced milk tea. Would Your Majesty like to try it and see how it tastes?" Concubine Zhen said with a smile.

Concubine Xin also came over to join in the fun and said, "Hey, when did milk tea become popular in the harem? Everyone saw that the emperor likes milk tea, so they all rushed to make milk tea. They are just imitating the ugly woman!"

Shen Meimei sighed in her heart, "Oh my god! It's just a milk tea, is it necessary to be so crazy? It seems that making a milk tea by myself has made me the king of harem?"
