How terrible the locust plague is, she has seen it with her own eyes.

Locusts that cover the sky and the sun whizzed by, and no grass was left wherever they passed.

It's really terrifying.

In the first few years, there were two locust plagues in Gui'an, but they were not too serious. The court helped some food and passed.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanjing just nodded and asked again: "What else have you seen?"

Yan'er said: "There are also memorials from Tubo, saying that Tubo has been drought recently, and it has not rained for half a year. The livestock raised have no grass to eat, and the plague is prevalent, and all cattle and sheep have died in large numbers."

Zhao Yuanjing nodded, looking a little serious.

After spring every year, the court faces droughts in the north, floods or locust plagues in the south.

The larger the country, the more things happen and the more things you need to worry about.

Although difficulties occur every year, drought, locust plagues and animal plagues occur in the same year are still relatively rare.

This means that the court needs to allocate a large amount of money for disaster relief.

Otherwise, the crowds will starve to death.

Yan'er said again: "There are still a few copies of the Northern Qi Dynasty sent over there."

Yun Dai's heart skipped a beat and said, "I remember that Northern Qi has a rich variety of things, and there are few droughts and floods."

Yan'er smiled and said, "What my mother said is very true. The Northern Qi memorial is another matter. After the New Year, several small groups of rebels emerged and provoked trouble everywhere to harm the people."

Since conquering Northern Qi, although the world is unified, there are still occasional dissatisfied discipline people who are not convinced of the discipline and cause trouble.

It is not easy to make all people in a country surrender in a short period of time.

For these small groups of rebels, the troops stationed in Northern Qi can deal with it.

They came to submit a memorial to ask for military expenses and food.

"Transfer this to the Ministry of War and deal with it for the King of Qin." Zhao Yuanjing said.

The King of Qin was a minister of the Military Affairs Department and also managed the Ministry of War. He could take care of any military expression. He was the decision to allocate military salaries to various guards.

Just figure out the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, which Jin Lan is in charge of, afterwards.

Yan'er said: "Yes, I've recorded it."

Zhao Yuanjing waved his hand: "You continue to look at it, and then talk to me after you finish reading it."

Yan'er sat down and continued to read the note.

Zhao Yuanjing pondered for a while and said, "I don't know what the situation of this locust plague is. It would be fine if it was similar to the previous two years. If it is serious... I'm afraid the treasury will be important again."

Yun Dai said: "The silver from the treasury is for the country. Without the people, where does the country come from? Don't worry about money, life is important."

"I can't ignore this principle. It's not a solution to keep filling in the money."

"That's right, it's not the root cause. Floods can be built in advance to build dams, and droughts can be built earlier. As for this locust plague... it must be prevented in advance. Those locusts cannot be returned unscrupulously every year."

Zhao Yuanjing sighed: "It's not easy to control locusts. Since the late emperor's reign, I have thought of many ways."

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Your method doesn't work. This locust must be treated from the root. Do you know why there are locusts in that place every year?"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Flying from elsewhere?"
