Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world

"Father, don't worry...God won't be so cruel..." Nan Munging's words of persuasion sounded pale and powerless.

The father and daughter both recalled the three years of drought in Beixiao...

If God is not cruel, there will be a three-year drought, so that the people will eat tree bark and Guanyin soil, and some people who are extremely hungry will even eat their own children...

Thinking of that scene, Emperor Nanyue couldn't help but bend his back a little more.

I have tried all possible methods, but it still doesn't rain...

Emperor Nanyue picked up a piece of side dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After a moment, he nodded and said softly: "Ning'er is right, God will definitely not be so cruel..."

Nan Munging wanted to speak again to persuade her, but the words could not come out.

I am not an ignorant girl either, and now I am following my father and gradually getting to know the government.

Nature knows what no rainfall means.

It means that the crops in the fields will fail, the people will go hungry, and there will be many refugees fleeing famine.

The imperial court had to distribute disaster relief grain and also be on guard against sudden wars in neighboring countries...

Nan Munging felt overwhelmed when she thought about all these things.

For a moment, both father and daughter fell silent.

...

In a flash, more than half a month passed, and before it rained, the country of Nanyue was hit by a terrible locust plague again.

At this time, Emperor Nanyue was sitting on the dragon throne with a serious face, his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the ministers in the hall.

"My dear ministers, the south is experiencing drought and locust plagues. Please tell me what you can do..."

After the words fell, Emperor Nanyue waited for a long time, but no one spoke.

For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet.

The ministers were not at peace at this moment.

Although they are the backbone of the court, they are still ordinary people after all.

What else can they do if God doesn’t rain?

Not to mention the locust plague now...

The emperor can't force them to grow three heads and six arms and catch all the locusts with their bare hands, right?

Emperor Nanyue looked at the court officials in the hall and saw that no one said a word, and his heart sank.

He waved his hands irritably: "What's the point of me raising you? Get out of court!"

It's so annoying!

These ministers often quarrel over trivial matters and would like to tear the sky down.

Now the sky over Nanyue is really about to collapse, and they are silent.

Only after seeing Emperor Nanyue leave angrily did the court officials dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not that they are silent, it's just that there is really no other way at the moment.

...

Xiao Baozhu sat comfortably on the sofa with her legs crossed, enjoying the air conditioning and a glass of cold drink in her hand.

"What? The severe drought in the south and the locust plague?"

She blinked her big eyes and looked at Qian Delai who was reporting on the latest situation of Beixiao Money House.

At this moment, Xiao Heng also put down the quarterly work summary in his hand and waited for Qian De to answer his questions.

"Yes, I was also very surprised when I heard about this... It was the manager of our Beixiao Bank's Nanyue office who mentioned it in a letter~ I heard that the Emperor of Nanyue was so anxious that half of his hair turned white!"

Xiao Baozhu frowned slightly. Could this drought be contagious?

The three-year drought in Beixiao has just passed, and now Nanyue is in trouble again!

No! Nanyue's current condition is even worse than Beixiao's back then.

At least there was no locust plague when there was a severe drought in Beixiao.

When people are extremely hungry, they can chew tree bark, dig wild vegetables, or even eat grass roots!

But the people of Nanyue were not so lucky. The locusts that passed through their territory were extremely terrifying.

Wherever the locust army passes, nothing will be left behind...

Moreover, if we allow the locusts in Nanyue to develop, after the crops in Nanyue are eaten up, the locust army will surely come to eat the crops in Beixiao!

Naituan's pupils suddenly shrank. Not only would locusts pass through, but refugees from Nanyue would also pour into Beixiao in large numbers!

By then...the ones who will suffer will definitely be the villages and people close to the border.

Naituan took a deep breath and said, "Father, Zhuzhu thought we should lend a helping hand to Nanyue! We can't let the locusts wreak havoc, otherwise the people on the border of Beixiao will suffer terribly!"

She was afraid that those irrational refugees would break through the checkpoints and rush into the village to steal food...

It would be fine if they just robbed food, but she was more afraid that there would be cruel people who would snatch children and cook them for food!

By then, it will really be hell on earth...

Xiao Heng's pupils shrank suddenly and he stood up.

What Zhuzhu said makes a lot of sense.

The people of Beixiao, who live close to Nanyue, plant the high-yield grain seeds that Zhuzhu ordered to be distributed.

Not only do we grow upland rice, we also grow wheat and cotton! Now it is almost time for wheat to mature, and we can’t let anything go wrong at this critical juncture!

"Xiao Dezi! Go... forget it! I'll do it myself!"

After Xiao Heng finished speaking, he hurried into the study and turned on the intercom.

"Hello, calling the Prime Minister! Please reply!"

The Prime Minister's respectful voice soon came from the intercom: "This old minister has received the message. What does the Emperor want?"

"Come to the Fairy Palace to see me immediately! I have something important to discuss with you..."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the study with the intercom and sat back on the sofa.

It’s no wonder Xiao Heng was so anxious. Nowadays, people would panic when they heard about locust plagues.

This is true even if he is the emperor.

These locusts always appear in groups and are difficult to catch and kill!

Qian Delai also realized the importance of the matter at this moment, and he couldn't help but put away the smile on his face and became serious.

At this moment, he actually felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he listened to the little princess and sent people to Nanyue to discuss the settlement of Beixiao Money House with the Emperor of Nanyue.

If there was no Beixiao Bank in Nanyue, they would not know the news of the locust plague in Nanyue now.

In this way, they turned from being passive to being active.

We must find a way to avoid losses among people living on the border as soon as possible!

But...how to eliminate these locusts?

Suddenly, Qian Delai had an idea. He remembered seeing a method of killing locusts in the Beixiao Library.

"Your Majesty, I remembered a method I read in a book... We can raise some chickens and ducks, and take them to Nanyue to help them kill the locusts!"

Naituan's eyes lit up. In her space, chickens gave birth to chickens and ducks gave birth to ducks. There should be thousands of them in total!

But...are several thousand chickens and ducks enough?

Her eyes rolled and suddenly a plan came to her mind.

People can join the army and enter the barracks, so why can’t chickens and ducks?

Naituan raised her little hands high: "Father, Uncle Qian! I have an idea! Let's post a notice in the capital to recruit chickens and ducks! Families who raise chickens and ducks must send their chicks and ducks to join the army!"
