On the painting boat, the place was originally small, and the old man slept lightly. As soon as Situ Yue stood up on this side, the concubine on the other side woke up.

The eldest princesses had no choice but to come here to pay their respects.The space was so small that there was no place to turn around as soon as a few people sat down, all the palace people stood outside, and those who couldn't stand up rowed the boat and transferred to the eldest princess's boat.

Even on the painting boat, the old lady didn't hinder a few people from talking even if she was confused.

"Nephew, have you seen the only Miao Miao of your sixteenth cousin's family? Auntie is a matchmaker for your princess, what do you think?"

Situ Yue expressed in embarrassment, "Now that Qiao Qiao is still young, plus she has a wild temper, I dote too much on weekdays, for fear of wronging the sixteenth brother's child."

"Hey, let's just say this. You let the two children play together on weekdays. If it's good, let's talk about this matter. If it's not good, we haven't settled down. Don't you think so? Day, the big banquet in the palace, you also look at the children, they are really obedient and good children." The Seventh Princess recommended earnestly.The boy they were talking about was the grandson of the eighth princess. Situ Yue didn't see much at ordinary times, and he didn't worry about it. Now that he was mentioned by several aunts, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of any relative's child. Number.

I can only nod, "I'm not afraid to bring the ugly words to the front. Aunts, my nephew is only a child of Qiao Qiao. She is very good to her. I am afraid of wronging her in everything. Some people say that this is a big marriage. Reincarnation is a matter of choice, choice and choice, of course, these aunts have more experience than me, and my nephew would not easily nod to Qiao Qiao's marriage."

All the eldest princesses expressed their understanding.The atmosphere was just right, Cheng Ju asked Situ Yue to speak at the bow of the boat.

"Let's just say it, there are all close relatives inside, there is nothing you can't say."

"If you go back to the prince, it's not a family matter, but a major event in the court. The prince hastily ordered you to go."

Situ Yue quickly stood up to say goodbye, and asked the eldest princesses to send the emperor and concubine back.After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave, but the robe was grabbed by the empress dowager, "Where is the emperor going?"

The empress dowager was already confused, and everyone in the palace knew that the eldest princesses surrounded the empress dowager and coaxed the old man to let go, and Situ Yue escaped.

Back on the shore, Situ Yue asked Cheng Ju, "What's wrong?"

"This year Zhili suffered a severe locust plague, and only now did the news come. The locusts have passed, and there is no blue color. Now the whole Zhili has been plagued. I heard that many people have already rushed to Zhili Dacang. Pray for the people, ask the court to open warehouses to release grain."

"Why do you only know this now?"

"I don't know about this servant. It's just that I'm angry today. Please don't argue with him. The imperial study room has already fallen to its knees."

Situ Yue arrived at the Imperial Study Room in Nanyuan, and when he arrived, he realized that she was the last one to come. The officials from all ministries stood in the Imperial Study Room. After paying respects to him, he was rewarded with a seat for her today.

"Cheng Yue, tell your elder brother the whole story."

"Half a month ago, there was a plague of locusts in some places in Zhili, and the affected fields were not many, only more than 600 mu of land. As the area gnawed by locusts increased, until now, half of the fields in Zhili have been affected. The people who have been affected by the disaster have already rushed to the big warehouse in Zhili, hoping that the court will open the warehouse to release grain."

"It only takes a few days for the summer grain to enter the warehouse, and the people still have surplus grain in their hands. Is there someone provoking it around the Zhili Dacang? Otherwise, why go to the Zhili Dacang? The Zhili Dacang is heavily guarded, and the city It is high and deep, the outer city wall is as thick and high as the capital city, anyone who approaches will be subject to martial law, let alone disaster victims.”

"Brother, do you still remember when the emperor went to the south for a tour? When scholars took the lead in making trouble, someone told about our family's past, and the emperor said it was a remnant of the previous dynasty." Cheng Yue glanced at the people around him, "Those remnants of the past Hidden, and now come out to make trouble again."

Situ Yue understood in seconds that the emperor had asked people to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it seemed that they hadn't dealt with them cleanly.

"What is uncle planning to do?" Situ Yue asked Jinshang.

At this time, she also took a closer look at Imakami, and found that his brows and eyes were a little red, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, which could only be found when he sat close and looked directly at him face to face. Moreover, Imakami's temperament had also changed. He is a gentle and gentle person, looking at him now, he looks a bit ferocious, Situ Yue can't figure out whether it is because of Zhili's natural and man-made disasters or other things that made his expression change so much.

"Ask me? I also want to ask Jun Ming how to calm down the situation."

"The minister is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials. As far as the Ministry of Officials is concerned, it is ineffective for the people to be instigated by traitors, and it is dereliction of duty to fail to replace the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven. The Ministry of Officials will have a handling plan for this matter, which will be sorted out and handed over to the Ministry of Officials. Take a look. As far as the household department is concerned, whether it is disaster relief or sending troops, the household department will provide money and food. It is up to you to decide on major issues."

As expected, he was in a good mood today, and he gave Situ Yue a meal, and asked her to go back to prepare money and food. While comforting the people, he asked the emperor's guards to dig Zhili three feet to find the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The matter of finding someone has nothing to do with Situ Yue. She rode a horse and went to the mission location in Nanyuan with the officials. The focus was on arranging personnel to cull the locusts in the later stage. The area affected by the disaster is constantly increasing, so it will be left alone It cannot be received in the big warehouse, and the most important thing is that the people will not have food in the long winter.

Situ Gao sat in the lobby and ordered the officials on both sides, "In the disaster-stricken areas, I advise the people to go back to farming immediately. At this time, farming can still harvest grain in autumn. If it is later, you can only plant winter wheat. The household department will send grain. The most important thing is that the local officials, with their hands, set fires everywhere at night to kill the locusts.”

The officials below looked at each other in blank dismay, and Situ Yue naturally knew their concerns. "If you are worried about revenge from the heavens, that will be a matter of the future. If you don't do it, the retribution that this king will send to you will come immediately. Everyone, choose?"

In order to dispel their doubts, Situ Yue allowed them to go to the temple to pray. If someone felt guilty about this matter, she didn't mind putting the blame on her, Situ Yue.

In the evening of that day, in all the disaster-stricken places, the yamen servants poured grease on the wood, and each fire lasted more than ten feet. The night fell, and when the fire was lit, the locusts rushed to the face, and the sound of flapping wings could be heard several miles away. It can be heard that in the night, a dark one rushes towards the flames.In an instant, the smell of meat filled the air.Then the fire in the fire was extinguished, and the servants lit another fire, split the fire that was extinguished in front with wood, and lit it again.

For five consecutive days, the entire Zhili area was culling locusts, and the affected area did not expand.The people around Dacang rushed home one after another, hoping to plant grain again and have a good harvest in autumn.

Situ Yue looked at the regional map of Zhili's territory in the household department, and deeply felt that it was necessary for Zhili to build several canals to irrigate the two banks.However, this matter was done quietly in the name of the user department. Jinshang's condition is not very good recently, and Situ Yue doesn't want to be alone with him. When the two of them are together, they want to get angry for no reason.

The emperor has been very active these days. He already loved life in the city. Now that he has the reputation of a scholar, he positions himself as an old scholar who has been tried for a long time.With a book tucked under his arm all day long, he shuttled between various academies in the capital.He is getting old, and no one is willing to accept him as a disciple. In his own words, he wants to go to school.But Situ Yue felt that he wanted to act, and the old grandfather was still a good actor.

The playwright's grandfather was involved in an accident recently, which made Situ laugh bitterly.A few days ago, someone wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to open a warehouse to release grain. More than 1000 names were signed on it.

On it is another name of the emperor's old man, Qu Zhao.

The maiden surname of the empress dowager and concubine was Qu, and the emperor used his mother's surname to travel around the rivers and lakes, so he was pulled to make up the number and wrote his name on it. They thanked him for a drink, which was not alone. Thanks to him, and there are some unsatisfactory scholars at the table with him, but everyone is younger than him, and the people who treat guests focus on building relationships with others.

After eating and drinking, the host invited them to a bookstore. This bookstore is not a noble place to publish books, but another name for kilns, also known as brothels.However, for a kiln that dares to call itself a bookstore, the personal quality of the service staff inside will be higher than that of other places. They are not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Those who went with them were a group of local turtles or talented people with little money in their pockets. Now that they had the opportunity, they first had a few polite words with those girls' school books, said a few poems and articles, and then gave a few glances, and went to find a place to do something. .

The poor emperor is clearly tall, rich and handsome, and he is a bit older, yet no one greets him.Later, the madam brought a jug of wine, poured him two glasses, and asked about his hometown and the population of his family.

When the emperor first decided to mix science into this area of ​​the rivers and lakes, he made up his own history and prepared to say it when he was socializing with people.Now that someone has asked, they can't wait to speak out.

"There is only one grandson in the old man's family. Now he is over 30. He is a businessman. He does business all day long and doesn't stay at home. On weekdays, only the old man and his old wife and concubine live together." In order to add a little credibility, He also gave out his address, "The Quji raw silk shop outside Shangshuimen belongs to the old man's family. The old man lives behind the shop with his family."

The disdain on the madam's face can be seen even by a fool. Shangshuimen is the outer city gate, and that is where merchants enter the city. It is very prosperous, but this society pays attention to scholars, farmers, businessmen, and in the eyes of the madam, that Places are no different than slums.He stood up and walked away with the jug, complaining as he walked, "My old lady has misjudged her. This old man is considered a nobleman because of his bearing. I didn't expect him to run a raw silk shop."

The emperor didn't know what his mood was at this time, but a hidden guard dressed as a man came over, "Old man, I found you, hurry home, our uncle beat him up."

"Who did my eldest grandson beat?"

"In the words of the uncle, it is a toad who wants to eat swan meat."
