After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

Emperor Yuanwu walked in from outside holding Mu Qianqian in his arms.

Emperor Yuanwu stood against the light, with the afterglow of the setting sun outlining his angular features.

The little baby in his arms was sucking his fingers and looking at him with a smile on his face.

A child of her age should know nothing and understand nothing.

But her sweet smile ignited a glimmer of hope for life in his heart.

She was like a bodhisattva descending to earth, calm and at peace.

Doctor Li didn't know what Emperor Yuanwu and the Empress Dowager talked about after they went to another room.

He just knows.

The look in the eyes of the little baby in his arms seemed to tell him, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to you.

It turns out this is the Seventh Princess.

The seventh princess who was doted on by Emperor Yuanwu.

Doctor Li always felt that the reason he was able to escape unscathed was because of some unclear relationship with the Seventh Princess.

-

When Lu Zhaofeng led his army to Beihai.

Everyone was shocked.

This is far more serious than what was described in the memorials submitted by local officials.

The Xia Kingdom’s army has been stationed on the edge of the North Sea, ready to go at any time.

The locusts almost swept across all the fertile fields in the North Sea, and the granaries used for disaster relief were also burned down by a surprise attack by the Xia State.

Every citizen was in danger, and there were many dead bodies piled on the roads that had not been dealt with in time.

It is early summer now.

The weather is getting hotter.

With corpses lying on the streets like this, an epidemic is only a matter of time.

"Why did so many people die and the case was not reported to the court?" Lu Zhaofeng had not finished speaking.

Accompanied by a "buzzing" sound.

"Locusts." Lord Cao, the Minister of Rites, pulled Lu Zhaolin and hurriedly hid in the nearest house.

In this house, they met Lord Lu, the prefect of Beihai.

When Lord Lu saw Lu Zhaofeng, he seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Lord Lu may not know much about locusts. About ten years ago, the Yuan Kingdom also experienced a locust plague. More than 100,000 people were killed or injured. Almost all the villagers in the village were killed by the locusts."

"There must be a way to control them. We must use something to control these locusts. Otherwise, we can't just watch these villagers being persecuted and dying one after another." Lu Zhaofeng frowned.

"There is a way." Lord Lu looked troubled: "It just requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"What exactly do you need? Haven't you applied to the court? It's already this time, is Lord Lu still hiding something?" Lu Zhaofeng said angrily.

"Lord Lu, you don't know, I submit several memorials every day, but the court doesn't lend a helping hand. I have sold all the valuables in my home, but the number of victims is increasing day by day, and the porridge we are distributing now is getting thinner each time. The victims are not full, and they are falling sick one after another. We really can't hold on any longer." Lord Lu's eyes were red with anxiety.

Lu Zhaofeng sighed, tore off the jade pendant on his body, and put all the valuables in Lord Lu's hand: "I brought ten carts of food and grass, just make do with it for now, I will go to Emperor Yuanwu to submit a memorial and request reinforcements."

Lu Zhaofeng knew it clearly.

The Xia Kingdom had been keeping its troops on hold, actually waiting for the locust plague to spread to an uncontrollable level so that it could take over the North Sea in one fell swoop.

Beihai is located on the sea, has rich natural resources, and is an important intersection of three countries.

He who controls the North Sea controls the world.

They can afford to wait.

The people of Beihai can't wait.

If the locust plague in the North Sea cannot be controlled, it will spread to the surrounding countries.
