Chapter 62

Inside the Jin Luan Hall.

Wu Zhao's eyes were filled with fury.

On the side, Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked when she heard this and couldn't help but ask, "How could a locust plague break out in Guanzhong?"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Liu Wu, the Governor of Guanzhong Commandery, wrote that Guanzhong has been in a drought for several months, and locust eggs have bred in large numbers in the fertile fields, and there are already a small number of locusts. If left unchecked, a super locust plague will surely break out."

"At that time, the land will be barren for thousands of miles, and the land will be filled with the starving!"

"Therefore, the eight-hundred-mile urgent report asks Me to make a response strategy early!"

Shangguan Wan'er heard these words, and her beautiful face was also suddenly ugly.

She also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Locusts pass, and not a blade of grass grows.

Shangguan Wan'er even thought of some records about locust plagues in her mind.

In the third year of Da Qian, a super locust plague broke out in Qingzhou, and the history books recorded: "Flying to cover the sky and the sun, blocking windows and piling up at doors, no space in the room!"

In the fifth year of Da Qian, a locust plague broke out in Youzhou, and the history books recorded: "Locusts ate the seedlings, and people hugged each other and died!"

Historically, once a locust plague breaks out, it is a disaster.

Not to mention that Guanzhong land, as the plain of Da Qian, has many fertile fields and many commoners. Once a locust plague breaks out, the disaster will be absolutely devastating.

"Pass the order down, urgently summon the Third Rank officials of the court to gather in the Imperial Study. I only give them a quarter of an hour. If they don't arrive in a quarter of an hour, they will bear the consequences!"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

This locust plague must be strangled in the cradle, otherwise, once the commoners have no grain to eat, it will deal a huge blow to her prestige!

And even trigger a massive rebellion.

This is absolutely not what Wu Zhao wants to see.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er was about to leave.

Wu Zhao shouted again, "Wait!"

Shangguan Wan'er stopped her steps, her gaze looking at Wu Zhao.

"Summon Gao Yang, the grandson of the Duke of Ding and Vice Director of the Ministry of Revenue, to listen in!"

Shangguan Wan'er's face was stunned.

But she didn't speak, but turned and left.

Although she had no good feelings for Gao Yang, and even disliked his official style, she had to say that Gao Yang did not take the usual path.

Under the crisis of Da Qian, one more person is one more strength.

Otherwise, locusts crossing the border, thousands of miles of barren land, this will be a complete disaster.

The imperial court must make a response strategy as soon as possible.

"Bang!"

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Wu Zhao slapped the memorial in her hand on the table.

Her phoenix eyes were full of anger.

"I just ascended the throne, first the flood in Guangyang Commandery, and now the locust plague in Guanzhong!"

"Is it really heaven that wants to destroy my Da Qian?"

Wu Zhao's angry voice echoed through the entire hall, and for a time, the eunuchs and palace maids knelt down one after another.

"..."

At this time, at the same time.

Gao Yang took Chen Sheng and several guards out of the gate of the Duke of Ding Prefecture.

Since he transmigrated, he was involved in the Empress's recruitment of talent edict, and then was forced to go to Linjiang City, and he didn't take a good look at the prosperity of Da Qian's Changancheng.

This time, he had the leisure to enjoy the customs of Changancheng.

By the way, Gao Yang also wanted to see what kind of business the merchants in Changancheng were doing and see if there was any profit to be made.

As a playboy, with no silver in his pocket, is this acceptable?

Da Qian Changancheng, with a population of millions, is the largest capital city in Da Qian and even the seven kingdoms!

The city is crisscrossed, with shops everywhere. Although the status of merchants in Da Qian is low, there are quite a few merchants doing business.

This made Gao Yang very interested.
