This wooden box was made by Zhu Ye himself.

In order to hide, Zhu Ye specially modified the wooden box so that it looked the same color as the bricks on the wall.

Even the gaps in the wall were secretly tapped out by himself.

It's just to hide this wooden box.

After taking out the wooden box, Zhu Ye looked at it carefully, and was not in a hurry to open it.

Because of the things in the box, he certainly knew what it was.

After a while, Zhu Ye seemed to have figured out something and reached out to slowly open the wooden box in front of him.

The things contained in the inconspicuous wooden box are not as insignificant as the wooden box.

A dragon-shaped jade pendant was quietly presented in front of Zhu Ye. When it looked carefully, it looked slightly bright and glossy on the jade pendant.

The Zhu Yupeng was what Zhu Ye found wearing when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

As a modern man, he certainly knows what the dragon symbolizes.

I thought it was a reward my grandfather received, and gave him personal protection.

Zhu Ye was afraid that he would lose it or that there would be any bumps, so he planned to put it away.

However, it was a royal reward. If it was stolen by a blind person, Zhu Ye was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

So I thought of this idea and hid the overweight object.

Zhu Ye was puzzled by picking up the dragon-shaped jade pendant and rubbing it in his hands.

Could it be that I really have something unexplained with the royal family?

I have never found a chance to ask my grandfather what this jade pendant came from.

Just as Zhu Ye was still immersed in his thoughts, he was already at night in a flash.

"Big grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from outside the door, and then someone lifted the curtain and walked in.

"grandfather."

Zhu Ye was surprised why his grandfather came back at this time.

"We have something to ask you."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious.

He had just finished his conversation with Li Jinglong and rushed over, with a hurried look on his body.

What Li Jinglong told him when he entered the palace was not a joke.

He had to find Zhu Ye to verify the authenticity of this matter, and this was not a joke.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to take the livelihoods of the people and the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty seriously.

If there is a slight mistake, it will affect thousands of lives and even the destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Are there really a locust plague?

But what is the basis?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Ye and asked worriedly.

"Grandpa, how did you know?"

Zhu Ye was strange.

Calculate the time, Li Jinglong should have sent this news to the emperor, but his grandfather actually learned the news so quickly.

Could it be that my grandfather had a spy liner next to Zhu Yuanzhang? Otherwise, how could he have such a good news?

"We happened to report to the emperor in Fengtian Palace."

"Because that boy Li Jinglong said it was your report, the emperor did not avoid us and let us listen together."

"Don't change the subject to me, let's talk about the truth or falsehood of this matter first."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to explain too much to Zhu Ye, but he was really anxious about what Li Jinglong said.

"Grandpa, do you think this matter is unreliable, will I let General Li stab the emperor?"

"I can't afford to be deceived."

Zhu Ye shrugged and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"But that boy Li Jinglong can't tell the reason. What basis do you use to determine that the locust plague happened."

"You know, since the 21st year of Hongwu, there has been no locust plague in many years."

"You have a clear idea of ​​your mind, how much money will be to waste people and money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to scold Zhu Ye, he knew that Zhu Ye was a child who knew it.

But he didn't want to believe this matter so much. It was not that he didn't believe what Zhu Ye said, but that he didn't want what Zhu Ye said to be a fact.

Locust plague is not a joke.

Even if such natural disasters are prevented, they cannot be 100%.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, if a locust plague occurs at this time...

The consequences are unimaginable.

"I don't have a definite basis, but there is still a basis for calculation."

Zhu Ye sighed slowly and explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Last year, due to flooding, although it brought a large number of viruses and bacteria, it was still under control."

"But the symptoms reflected in people are controlled, where we cannot see them."

"Water can bring a lot of things from other places to other places."

"You can also bring things hidden deep underground, or places we cannot see, to the ground."

"It's like an egg."

“Plus this year it’s really hot.”

"Although there are a few rains, it still cannot solve the problem of drought."

"It's okay in the imperial city, but most places are still in a drought state."

"I wasn't sure at first."

"But on the way back from the southeast this time, I paid attention to the scene in the fields."

"The emergence of locust plague will definitely be accompanied by high fever and drought."

As Zhu Ye spoke, he pinched a handful of soil from the ground and crushed it in his hand.

"A drought environment is easy to adapt to locust growth, reproduction and survival."

"If left unchecked, these locusts will swallow crops after they form a scale, causing serious food shortages."

"Now, the people cannot harvest these foods for a while."

"For prevention, we can only let the emperor order officials from all over the country to arrange the arrangements and do a good job of protection."

"And we must stop manpower, harvest grain and grass as soon as possible, and store it properly."

The serious expression on Zhu Ye's face gradually calmed down Zhu Yuanzhang's originally swaying heart.

"Well, the emperor has arranged for officials from each county to implement response measures against the locust plague."

"However, message delivery in various places may not be timely."

"Just hope...it's time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were unconcealed, and he kept praying in his heart, hoping that Zhu Ye's guess would be just a guess and never come true.

His eyes fell on the table, and Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the box on the table.

"What's this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and ecstatic when he saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant placed inside the box.

This thing is the dragon-shaped jade pendant that can prove Zhu Ye’s identity.

I asked the Jinyiwei to look for it for so long, but I didn't expect that it was taken away by Zhu Ye.

"Grandpa, don't you know this?"

Zhu Ye looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, his face full of incredibleness.

He originally thought that this thing was given to him by his grandfather, but now looking at his grandfather's reaction, he obviously didn't know that the dragon-shaped jade pendant was in his hands.
