Li Jing's words let everyone know that this locust plague is no small matter. Although arrangements have been made in advance, they still cannot relax.

Li Feng said: "Currently our shelter for victims can only accommodate 30,000 people. Master Tang, from now on, all the young and middle-aged people will be sent to work in Chang'an to free up positions."

"Okay, I have already informed the Ministry of Industry that as long as the personnel are in place, construction can start. And don't you want to build a villa complex in Taiping Village? What are your arrangements now?" Tang Jian asked.

Li Feng said: "Aren't there more victims arriving one after another? There will be no shortage of labor force. What we have to do now is to prevent chaos here."

Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes, there can be no chaos here, no matter what. If there is chaos here, it will definitely threaten the imperial court."

Li Junxian rode a fast horse in front of everyone.

"Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will be here soon."

Fang Xuanling said: "Okay, let's go together to greet His Majesty. Everything is sufficient at the moment, so we don't need to worry about it for the time being."

Li Feng said: "Even if 100,000 disaster victims arrive at the same time, you don't have to worry, just prepare more food.

We don't have many other things, but we have the most potatoes. Now I have asked people to make all the potatoes into potato flour, and then release them here for the victims to enjoy.

Potato flour is similar to noodles, cooked in stock, and tastes quite good. Let everyone try it during lunch."

"Okay." Fang Xuanling said first.

Tang Jian said: "To be honest, potatoes are really delicious when made into dishes. Just roast them and eat them. It is not delicious at all. That is, when you are in the worst situation, this is the most delicious food. There is nothing in heaven or on earth.

Nothing can compare with it."

Li Feng smiled and said: "That's because there is no seasoning, so it doesn't taste good."

Wei Zheng said: "I don't think there is anything unpalatable about potatoes. Instead, I think they are a delicacy in the world."

Everyone was talking as they walked, some said the potatoes were delicious, others said they were average and not difficult to swallow, but more people said they were tired of eating them.

Li Feng could only sigh in his heart, you only eat potatoes when you are full.

The common people have no choice. They will starve to death if they don't eat potatoes, so he won't get tired of eating them. He just wants to spread potato starch and specially arranges to eat potato starch during disaster relief.

They soon received Li Er's group.

"Join your majesty, empress."

Li Er nodded and said: "No need to be polite. Everyone is here, don't you need someone at the command post?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, according to Lantian Hou's plan, as long as there are not too many disaster victims, the people below will perform their duties and complete the work at hand in an orderly manner.

We don't need to worry about this. It's just that General Li Jing is back and brings bad news."

Li Er frowned and said: "Li Jing, what bad news can be worse than the news about this locust plague?"

Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this locust plague may develop into a major locust plague that is rare in a century. If it continues like this, the number of victims may exceed 100,000. This is a big test for the imperial court."

"General, one hundred thousand is just the beginning of the locust plague. The real disaster is the severe drought after the locust plague. A severe drought of at least three months will make the people lose their harvest again. The number of victims will be millions.

"Li Feng said.

Everyone's expressions turned serious, and everyone's expressions suddenly showed solemn expressions.

Queen Changsun said: "Li Feng, since you know that there will be a severe drought after the locust plague, what do you think we should do?"

Li Feng said: "The best way to do this is to dig wells and use groundwater to irrigate farmland. As for the other things, I'm still thinking about it."

Li Er nodded and said: "Digming wells is indeed the best way, but not every well will produce water. There are very few experts in finding water sources in the imperial court."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the court can invite strangers from all over the world, but our top priority is to deal with the locust plague."

"The locusts are coming."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked to the northeast in unison, only to see dense black shadows flying towards them.

Fang Xuanling said: "Come here, hurry up and protect the emperor and queen and go to the command post. Everyone, go back quickly."

Li Jing and Li Feng took Li Er and Chang Sun to the command post one by one.

Fang Xuanling and everyone else ran to the command post.

Although locusts do not bite people, it is still very painful when densely packed locusts hit people, and it is even more unbearable when there are many.

Everyone finally arrived at the command post before the locusts arrived.

"Damn it, why are the locusts coming so fast?" Niu Jinda yelled angrily.

Li Jing said: "This shows that the speed of locusts is faster than we imagined. This also shows that this locust plague is bigger than we imagined."

"That's right, before the locust plague arrives, Your Majesty, let's go to the sacrificial altar now to let the people know that Your Majesty is determined to fight against God.

In this way, the people will no longer be afraid, and they will join hands with the court to deal with the locusts," Li Feng said.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, the four of you, hurry up and arrange the sacrifice matters." Li Er said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling and the others quickly went to make arrangements for their work.

A group of soldiers was soon stationed near the altar, and their actions aroused the curiosity of the people.

Soon they all knew that it was His Majesty who wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven and tell God that Tang Dynasty would accept the test of God and would not let God down.

As a result, more and more people came to the sacrificial platform. They wanted to know how the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven.

Soon the civil and military officials stood on both sides of the sacrifice, and then Li Er slowly appeared from the front. He took a step forward, and an official on both sides knelt on the ground. By the time Li Er reached the sacrificial platform, all the officials had already

Kneeling on the ground.

After Li Er picked up the incense on the table and lit it, he raised his hands to heaven and said, "God is good at saving lives. He once sent a dream to me, telling me about the locust plague.

This locust plague is a test from heaven to the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty can withstand the test, the Tang Dynasty will become the most powerful country in the world.

I tell God now that I and the people of the Tang Dynasty will withstand the test of God, and the Tang Dynasty will become the most powerful country.

In order to prove that the people, civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty can withstand the test of God, I decided to capture and eat locusts.

Common people, are you determined to withstand the test of God together with me, and to catch and eat locusts with me?"

"Yes, the common people are willing to catch and eat locusts for the Tang Dynasty."

"I am willing to catch and eat locusts for the Tang Dynasty."

"I am willing to catch and eat locusts for the Tang Dynasty."

"I am willing to catch and eat locusts for the Tang Dynasty."

One of the people started shouting, and other people started shouting too, as if they had done something hugely wrong if they didn't shout.
