Chapter 118: A Gamble Hoping to Lose
In fact, Li Shimin still has some puzzled minds, and he doesn't know what his father is going to say.
As if he had left a hand in everything, and had not explained everything thoroughly, this father made him feel like a wise man.
seems to have seen what happened not long after, but he was hiding it, if it was someone else, Li Shimin would have been unable to help it.
It's just that this is his own father, if this old man has any three longs and two shortcomings, then he can't pass the level of the eldest grandson queen first.
Therefore, no matter how aggrieved Li Shimin is, he can only hide it in his heart, because if this father doesn't say it, who can force him.
Now Li Shimin is betting on the same game, just to know what this father thinks in his heart.
The smile on Shu An's face remained unchanged, and there was no change in the slightest because of Li Shimin's words, as if all this was expected.
"Okay, what about this bet?"
Shu An's voice sounded slowly, betting on the right and wrong prediction of the natural disaster, this emperor seemed to have absolute confidence in himself.
"Wait, the Father can't predict the heavens as he did last time."
Li Shimin added that he was really afraid that his father would be like last time, and now he still has doubts about the theory of ghosts and gods.
Coupled with the brilliant achievements of this Asian father, Li Shimin still has a certain degree of trust in his heart, and the second father is very human.
Shu An didn't speak, but dipped his fingers in the tea and slowly wrote down a word.
Li Shimin's eyes shrank slightly, and his face was a little ugly, this word was not another word, but a locust word.
If Li Shimin didn't know anything at this time, then he would be a fool, and it can be said that this word was a big blow to this emperor.
Shu An gently poured out the original tea, poured another cup, and took a sip.
He naturally knew the impact of this word on Li Shimin, and it was not a good thing to know about the plague of locusts in this era.
Locusts fly into the sea and turn into fish and shrimp, in ancient times, it is rumored that locusts are transformed by the eggs of fish and shrimp, so there are many fish and shrimp and snow is abundant.
If there is a locust plague, then a large number of rice fields and vegetables are destroyed, and even in order to survive, people are fed, it can be said that the representative of this locust plague is unknown.
There was even a saying from the locust god, so that the people did not dare to catch the locusts, and they had to know that after the destruction of the banker.
Basically, the people can only eat grass root bark, but the grass root bark is only to satisfy hunger, and there are also a number of grass and tree bark.
The number of people affected by the disaster is also not small, if there are many people gathered in one place, then there is no need to think too much about the bark of plants and trees.
The severity of the locust plague is even higher than that of the drought, after all, the destructive power of the locust plague is continuous.
Because for a long time in the future, the people could not harvest, and because of the lack of Shu'an's participation in history, the people in Guannai did not have the idea of moving south, and they did not know how many starved to death.
This has reduced a lot of pressure on Li Shimin, but now with the people in Guannei going south, Li Shimin has a lot of pressure on him than in history.
That's why Shu An put forward the idea of building roads, and as for the treasury, he has a way to make up for it.
However, seeing that Li Shimin had some lost souls, Shu An didn't say anything, the seeds had been planted.
"This bet, the people really hope that the father will lose."
After a long time, Li Shimin's eyes finally recovered, and he said with a hint of complexity.
"I hope I can lose, too."
Shu An was silent for a long time and then said faintly, Heaven is not very kind to this emperor.
Especially in recent years, natural disasters have continued, especially if they are used by people with intentions, then Li Shimin is enough to be in a hurry.
Li Shimin didn't stay in Shufu for long, originally he came to Shufu to determine one thing, and now it has led to another thing.
Even if Li Shimin also has some fears, if the locust plague really happens, then it will inevitably be turbulent in the entire Guannei, and even the Guanzhong region will not be spared.
Although Li Shimin also had a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, that is, the previous father had some unfinished words.
However, it is obvious that he can't take care of it, as a king, he needs to consider all kinds of possibilities, and his father's words are also credible, even if they are mythical.
After Li Shimin left, Shu An also had a lot of thoughts, even if he had seen a lot of cruelty in this era, he was already numb.
But in the face of this kind of natural and man-made disasters, there is also a sense of compassion, because this is not just one person, not dozens of people, but hundreds of thousands of people in the Guannai.
The people in the entire pass can move like this, which includes his role as a promoter, otherwise the entire pass is so big, even if the rumors want to spread so quickly.
As for the discussion in Chang'an, or the fact that there was a person above the court who asked for a thorough investigation of the source of the rumors, this was obviously directed at him.
Even the rumors have spread all over the world, and I don't know how many people are paying attention to this matter, some people care about him, and some people want to see him laugh.
Shu An saw all this, but he didn't pay attention to it, because with the passage of time, it is the best proof.
Suddenly, Shu An's eyes lit up slightly, and he saw a petite figure on the edge of the courtyard sneaking here, and his face couldn't help but have a hint of gentleness.
"Little girl, haven't you come out yet?"
Shu An's voice sounded softly, with a hint of gentleness in his words.
Maybe it's because of his aging that he has a love for children, not to mention that this person is his sister's granddaughter.
"Uncle and grandpa!"
Bud Ya came out and said, after coming to Shufu, there was a different life for the little girl.
The gorgeous clothes on her body, as well as the food she had never eaten, made this little girl very grateful to her uncle and grandfather, because A-Niang told her that all this was given to them by her uncle and grandfather.
"Yaya, what's the matter?"
Shu An said softly, with a hint of doubt in her words, this little girl seemed to be a little afraid of herself.
Of course, this is mainly because of the strangeness, so Shu An is not in a hurry, just get familiar with it slowly, I didn't expect to come to him.
In the past few days, this little girl's face is not as pale as when she first came.
"Uncle and grandpa, Yaya wants to bring some food for the big girl, as well as the second dog and the chubby."
The childish voice of the bud counting the fingers sounded, but this made Shu An a little stunned.
Then Shu An understood a little, these names should be the cheap names of the children of the common people, after all, cheap names are easy to feed, even among the royal family, there are many people like this.
For example, Li Zhi, who is about to be born, is called a young slave, and you must know that in this era, the child represents the meaning of pheasant, and the words of slave are even easier to understand, and together they mean little pheasant.
