Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Then he got up slowly, and replied: "It's all up to the arrangement of the emperor, and my son has no objection."

The civil and military officials saw it, and couldn't help giving Li Chengqian a thumbs up. He deserves to be Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

All right, sit tight on the Diaoyutai.

Make him, the emperor, tidy up and docile.

Li Chengqian naturally had his own ideas.

Although Yushitai is officially launched now, the difficult days are yet to come.

Encountering problems and solving them is the focus of Wei Zheng's next work.

Now he can't explain things too clearly, otherwise it will dampen the enthusiasm of Yushitai officials.

……

A month later.

Chang'an City...

Dongshi...

Li Chengqian is taking Qin Feng to Qinghuo Trading Company.

Under the operation of Wu Jue, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comic book was officially released five days after the novel was released.

The popularity of its sales has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The price of second-hand "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is five times higher than that sold by Qinghuo Trading Company, and it is hard to find a book.

Even the storyteller who tells "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not far from Qinghuo Trading Co., his business is booming, and the surrounding area is overcrowded.

"Today, let's talk about the bridge section where the Eighteenth Route princes challenged Dong Zhong, the Sanying battle against Lu Bu, and that day..."

The storyteller spoke vividly.

From time to time, it caused thunderous applause from the surrounding people.

"His Royal Highness, I really didn't expect that your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" would be so popular. "

Qin Feng walked all the way, what he heard and saw... was all about Li Chengqian's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "Don't say it's you, even Bengong didn't expect..."

Originally, he just wanted to help Qinghuo Trading Company raise money.

Unexpectedly, a new wave was set off in Datang.

Especially his name as the prince of the Tang Dynasty is simply a living advertisement for this book.

Qin Feng replied: "Your Highness, don't be modest, a book can make you a lot of money. Since ancient times, you have been No. 1."

The two walked through the bustling East Market and came to the shop of Qinghuo Trading Company.

At this time, it was the release period of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

There was already a long queue in front of the shop.

The two were stunned and couldn't squeeze in through the front door, so they had to go to the back door in desperation and entered the business.

The newly established Ministry of Culture is located on the third floor.

Li Tai has already reported for duty.

Originally, when Li Shimin heard that Li Tai was working in Qinghuo Trading Company, he focused on the cultural industry.

There are still some conflicts in my heart.

Li Tai has always been his favorite son, and he has always wanted Li Tai to enter politics.

But then Li Shimin was relieved.

Li Chengqian's light was too dazzling, he didn't want Li Tai to do anything to sorry Li Chengqian in the future.

It would be a good thing for Li Tai if he worked in Qinghuo Trading Company.

Chapter 584 Prepare for a rainy day and deal with disasters

See His Royal Highness..."

"I have seen the emperor..."

In the Ministry of Culture, Li Taizheng led his staff to study the comic strip images of new characters in the second volume Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the release date of the third volume Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Exemption." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said calmly.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng stepped forward and handed over a stack of manuscripts, "His Royal Highness, this is the outline of the ten novels His Royal Highness prepared for you."

Hearing this, Li Tai showed joy, "Brother Emperor, we have been waiting for these outlines for a long time..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took the manuscript over.

In order to rapidly promote the development of the cultural industry.

Based on his impressions, Li Chengqian wrote the outlines of ten novels including "Fengshen Yanyi" and handed them over to Li Tai as the first mass-produced novel by the Ministry of Culture.

The comics and novels are released simultaneously.

Moreover, Li Chengqian had already given Li Tai precise training. At this time, he was in charge of the Ministry of Culture, and he was able to do a job with ease.

"Qingque, you have to remember that everything that comes out of the Ministry of Culture needs to be carefully crafted, and Qinghuo Trading Company pays attention to quality."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai with fiery eyes and reminded him.

The future line of Qinghuo Trading Company is to be the best of the best, and will never compete with Dazhong Trading Company for the market.

Li Tai saluted, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will live up to my trust."

At the same time, Zheng Qian and Wu Jue rushed over.

Li Chengqian came here today not only to deliver the manuscript to Li Tai, but also to complete an important matter.

Since early spring, there have only been two drizzles in the capital area.

The people in Gyeonggi Province, with the help of the Ministry of Industry, divert water for irrigation.

Last year was flooded and this year was drought. Li Chengqian had already paid attention to this point. Maybe there will be a plague of locusts this year.

"See His Royal Highness."

Wu Jue and Zheng Qian greeted each other at the entrance.

"Exemption." Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said immediately: "You two, leave the city with me immediately, we will go to Luban Pavilion, and I have important matters to explain to you."

Although the two were puzzled, they did not shirk, and responded: "It's all up to His Highness's orders."

for a moment...

Several people got into the carriage, left from the west city gate, and headed for Luban Pavilion in the western suburb.

Li Chengqian lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the dull scenery outside, and said in a deep voice: "Do you two know how many times it has rained in Gyeonggi Province since early spring?"

Hearing this, both of them were taken aback.

Zheng Qian shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "This... I don't know the humble job..."

To be honest, he really never paid attention to this matter, neither took it to heart nor deliberately paid attention to it.

But Wu Jue said calmly: "There have been two games, and the rainfall is not heavy. Spring rain is as expensive as oil. If you look at the rainfall this year, Gyeonggi-do will usher in a severe drought."

"Wu Sui is not talented, and has already started to store grain in the Chang'an treasury for emergencies."

Hearing this, Zheng Qian looked at her in surprise.

He did not expect that Wu Jue would have such foresight.

With only two spring rains, they are ready to deal with drought.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, "Pu'er, you did a good job. To think of this step is enough to show your vision."

"But what I am worried about is not just the drought..."

Wu Jue and Zheng Qian looked at him in bewilderment, "It's not just a drought?"

They couldn't figure out the hidden meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

Little rainfall, except for drought...

mind this...

Wu Jue's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what you are worried about is probably the plague of locusts..."

"The plague of locusts, this..." Zheng Qian said in astonishment.

This is no joke.

After the plague of locusts, thousands of miles of desolate land, starvation everywhere, that is a more terrible disaster than the drought.

In history, locust plagues occurred frequently, and most of them were accompanied by droughts. In the lands they passed, there was no harvest, the people were displaced, and they changed their children to eat, which was extremely tragic.

Moreover, people today firmly believe in the statement of the interaction between heaven and man.

He believes that all disasters are punishments from heaven, and they are punishments for the injustice of the king.

Datang is in a period of rapid development, if there is a plague of locusts, it will definitely shake Li Shimin's position in the hearts of the people.

Li Chengqian is also counting on his cheap father to be the emperor for a few more years, so that he can enjoy a few years of happiness.

Moreover, he knew that the plague of locusts was caused by drought, and the arid environment had great significance for the reproduction, growth, development and survival of locusts.

The craziest thing is that up to 20 to 40 eggs can survive per square meter.

What a terrible thing this is.

Li Chengqian lowered his eyes and said: "That's right, this is exactly what I'm worried about. A plague of locusts will scare the land for thousands of miles."

"We don't have time to wait for the locust infestation to rise and then react."

Zheng Qian interjected: "Your Highness, why don't we report to the imperial court and deal with it earlier."

Li Chengqian shook his head, "Even if they started this matter under the pressure of my palace, they wouldn't take it to heart."

"After all, this is simply a fantasy for them."

"The only thing we can rely on now is ourselves, to take remedial measures before the locust plague will strike."

While a few people were talking, they arrived at Luban Pavilion.

Sun Liuchuan was already waiting in front of the courtyard.

Looking at Li Chengqian who got out of the car, he hastily greeted him, "Please refer to His Royal Highness for the humble position."

"Exemption." Li Chengqian continued to ask: "Have you made all the things I asked you to make?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the production has been completed according to your Highness's request."

Sun Liuchuan said, and welcomed several people into the courtyard.

lean less...

Everyone entered a small courtyard filled with various insect nets.

Sun Liuchuan waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, this is a bug-catching net made by a humble worker. Take a look at which one suits your needs the most."

Li Chengqian stepped forward, picked up a handful, and waved it in the air twice.

"Your Highness, you don't want to use this thing to deal with the locust plague, do you?" Wu Jue frowned slightly, puzzled.

It was hard for her to imagine that Li Chengqian would come up with such a low-level method.

It's just kind of nonsense.

Li Chengqian smiled lightly and said, "What? Do you feel that something is wrong?"

"This..." Wu Jue smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.

However, everything goes without saying.

"To deal with the locust plague, we alone are definitely not enough."

"My palace intends to sell insect nets in Gyeonggi-do and appeal to all the people to catch locusts." Li Chengqian looked at Wu Jue and Zheng Qian and explained.

Zheng Qian shook his head, "Your Highness, your idea is good, but people have ulterior motives. If the crops are destroyed and there is no food, I am afraid that no people will appeal to us."

What he said was true.
