Chapter 1105 The locust plague is not so terrible?(2/2)

"Your Majesty, this locust plague is not necessarily that terrible. As long as the panic in the hearts of the people is solved, the harm the locusts really bring to the Tang Dynasty is relatively limited. Even if half of the food in Guanzhong is eaten by locusts, it will not harm the overall situation.

According to the situation this year, there will be a large amount of grain surplus in both Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road. Originally, the Ministry of Revenue would have to worry about the occurrence of low grain damage to farmers, and it is vigorously encouraging the development of the winemaking industry.

Nowadays, a small locust plague is enough to deal with it normally and not make people feel that something big has happened. As for other issues, just investigate it slowly.”

Li Kuan's words made Changsun Wuji very dissatisfied.

"His Highness of the King of Chu, locust plagues have been a huge matter in all dynasties. How come it turns into a mere locust plague in your mouth? Once the situation of the locust plague worsens, it will directly shake the foundation of the Tang Empire. Can you bear this responsibility? What kind of your suggestion is tolerate it?"

Changsun Wuji, who thought he had seized the handle in Li Kuan's words, naturally wanted to jump out and confront Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty, all the dukes, locust plagues are not as terrible as everyone imagines. The court actually has quite a lot of ways to deal with them. Especially for this kind of locust plague in some areas, as long as it is properly controlled, the impact will be relatively limited. The most troublesome thing is that large-scale famine, which must be avoided as much as possible."

Li Kuan ignored the president Sun Wuji and talked about his views to Li Shimin and others at his own pace.

"Since His Highness, the King of Chu, thinks that there are many ways to deal with locust plagues, it's not a matter of work. Your Majesty, I suggest that you hand over the task of dealing with the locust plagues in Guanzhong to His Highness. At that time, let me have a long experience and see how His Highness of Chu deals with locust plagues and how to solve the panic in the hearts of the people."

Gao Shilian, who was standing beside him, naturally had to stand on Changsun Wuji's side and dig a hole for Li Kuan to jump.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not follow the rhythm of Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, but calmed down, looked at Li Kuan, and said, "Kun'er, do you really have a way to solve this locust plague?"

If Li Kuan had a solution to the answer, Li Shimin would naturally not oppose Gao Shilian's proposal.

If Li Kuan did not have a specific plan, then Li Shimin would naturally not let his son take the blame.

"Your Majesty, I have three ways to deal with locust plagues at the same time. First, in the long run, it is necessary to change the dry land into paddy fields as much as possible, so as to reduce the space for locusts to survive and fundamentally solve the source of locust plagues; of course, this is aimed at future events and will not have any effect in a short period of time.

Second, in many places in Guanzhong, there are now many places that raise a large number of chickens and ducks. These locusts are their best food. Whether they are directly driving them to areas where locusts are flooded or paying money to acquire locusts from the people, they are effective measures to effectively reduce locusts."

Li Kuan calmly threw out his opinions one by one.

“Third, what is the third?”
