The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

But every time this little girl saw me, she looked as if she was extremely disgusted with me.

Feng Junyi felt a little hurt. He had lived for hundreds of years and only had such a little Taoist companion, but his little Taoist companion still despised him!

Alas, Feng Junyi, sighed in his heart.

....

Since receiving the order from Emperor Wende, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has been working tirelessly to consult ancient books, observe the stars and make calculations. Finally, the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory entered the palace in a daze before dawn!

Something terrible is happening! Something terrible is happening!

The director of the Imperial Observatory wept and cried, it was all over! It was all over!

Emperor Wende was currently sitting on his dragon rider, absent-mindedly listening to his ministers' reports, and it was clear that he was not paying attention at all.

The ministers all looked at each other in confusion. What happened to the emperor today? He seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory's supervisor requests an audience!"

Jiang Debao came in hurriedly to report. He knew that the emperor had been waiting for the results from the Imperial Observatory.

So, he went to wait at the palace gate early in the morning, and as soon as he saw the regent, he quickly came over to report to Emperor Wende!

"Hurry up!"

Emperor Wende sat up straight at once and spoke loudly to Jiang Debao with a slightly nervous expression, "I hope this won't be the worst possible outcome!"

His son has just become the crown prince, he can't hand over such a mess to his son!

The director of the Imperial Observatory walked into the Fengtian Hall with his head hung as if he had lost his parents, and reported the results of their calculations to Emperor Wende in detail.

"From the Yin Dynasty to the present, historical records do show a period of sudden temperature drops, shrinking rivers and lakes, a sharp decline in population, and constant wars. This lasted for about five or six hundred years."

The tone of the Imperial Observatory was somewhat fearful and sad. He was the one who understood celestial phenomena best and knew very well how helpless humans were in the face of natural disasters!

As the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, he only realized this phenomenon after being reminded by the emperor. He is truly guilty of the death penalty!

He waited for the emperor's punishment with a dead heart, and just prayed that the emperor would chop off his head alone and not his entire clan.

The Fengtian Hall was in chaos. The officials were all confused. Why did the temperature drop so suddenly? Why did the population drop so suddenly? Why did the war continue?

But some people who have their own plans remain silent. They have long realized that this year is colder than in previous years, and it is already the beginning of spring, but there is no sign of warming up.

I originally thought that the weather was just colder for longer this year, but now I think it might be a sign of a disaster.

"Your Majesty, winter is already hard for the people. If the weather continues to get this cold, I'm afraid many people will freeze to death!"

Lord Zhou stood up with a look of deep sorrow on his face and spoke first.

As soon as he spoke, civil servants immediately responded and stood up to echo what Lord Zhou said.

Emperor Wende was so angry that he threw the memorial in his hand, which was submitted by the local government and stated that people had been frozen to death due to the sudden drop in temperature and requested the court to allocate money for disaster relief, at the feet of Lord Zhou!

"Don't I know that people will freeze to death? Do I need you to describe it to me again? What I want is for you to give me a good solution!"

"And you good-for-nothings, you just follow behind Lord Zhou all day long. You say whatever he says. Don't you have your own brains? Don't you have your own words to say?"

Emperor Wende roared at the officials who followed Lord Zhou and repeated what he said, feeling somewhat disappointed with him!

After hearing what Emperor Wende said, Lord Zhou silently took two steps back. Although he was good at intrigue and fighting for power, he was really not good at fighting against natural disasters!

Minister of Revenue Wang Maolin pondered for a moment and stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the best solution now is to go to Beiliang. Beiliang's climate is cold all year round, and it's like winter all year round. The plants there are cold-resistant. We can look for cold-resistant and drought-resistant grains in Beiliang and bring them back to try to plant them."

As soon as Wang Maolin finished speaking, a minister stood up to object:

"Beiliang is located in a remote area, thousands of kilometers away from our Dadeng. We only know that there is such a place, but we don't even have a map. How can we find it?"

"Even if we find it, it will take several years to go back and forth. It will take another year or two to try to plant two kinds of plants. By that time, the people will have starved to death!"

"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, this plan will not work!"

A number of ministers stood up to oppose it, and they didn't know whether the solution proposed by Wang Maolin would succeed.

But since this strategy was not proposed by them, they will oppose it!

If this plan succeeds, their Wang family will definitely have an even more important position in the emperor's eyes!

Originally, during this period of time, the emperor had taken a different look at the Wang family because Wang Maolin discovered the high-yield crops grown by Cheng'an Earl Gu Yulang.

If this plan succeeds again, the Wang family will be able to take a step further!

They are firmly opposed!

Feng Junqi looked at Wang Maolin, although he also agreed with Wang Maolin's idea in his heart.

But Wang Maolin is not on his side, so of course he won't help him.

"Father, I think we should march south. The climate in the south is like spring all year round. Even if the temperature drops suddenly, the impact in the south should be relatively small. I heard that the rice in Nanzhao is harvested three times a year, so there will be no shortage of food!"

As soon as Feng Junqi finished speaking, a minister immediately echoed loudly:

"The Third Prince is truly a man of great talent and vision. This method is very good!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! What the Third Prince said is absolutely right!"

For a time, the court was filled with voices supporting the Third Prince, as if the Third Prince was the Crown Prince.

Emperor Wende's face looked a little grim. How could he not see through the thoughts of these ministers? He looked at Feng Junyi's expression and coughed twice:

"What do you think, Prince?"

The civil and military officials also looked at Feng Junyi. They were still not used to this prince who suddenly appeared.

In their minds, the third prince is the future crown prince.

Now that the eldest prince has suddenly recovered from his illness, they don't know how to face the eldest son of Deng.

Logically, the eldest prince, as the eldest son and the legitimate heir, should undoubtedly be the crown prince.

But after all, he has been ill for so many years and has never been involved in military affairs. Isn't it a bit too much of a joke to ask him to let the crown prince do it?

For a moment, all the ministers were silent.

They all wanted to see what suggestions the emperor's newly appointed prince would make in the face of such a devastating natural disaster.

Some ministers were even wondering in their hearts. They had never heard of any cold disaster, but it came as soon as the emperor appointed the prince. Could it be that the gods were dissatisfied with the prince and punished him?

"I think the most important thing now is to build water conservancy projects. Cold disasters are followed by droughts. We also need to plant crops that are hardy and cold-resistant. If we need food from the south, we don't necessarily have to resort to war."

After Feng Junyi finished speaking, he looked at Feng Junqi again, looked at him as if he was a fool and said:

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? The people of Nanzhao are tough and the terrain is rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The population is more than twice that of Dadeng. In terms of national strength, Dadeng is the weakest among the four countries. You still let the soldiers travel thousands of miles to fight when Dadeng has suffered a natural disaster and there is not enough food and grass?"

All the ministers looked embarrassed after hearing Feng Junyi's words.

Yes, they forgot that Nanzhao was rich in resources and its cavalry was famous throughout the world.

If they rashly go thousands of miles away to fight, they may not be able to return safely.

Feng Junqi was so angry at Feng Junyi's words that his blood boiled, but Emperor Wende couldn't get angry with him, so he just said in a gloomy tone:

"It's easy for you to say that we should build water conservancy projects and plant cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops. But now the grain production has decreased and the weather is getting colder. People don't even have winter clothes to go out. How can we build water conservancy projects? And do you have cold-resistant and drought-resistant grain seeds?"
