Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

"Needless to say, I've seen it all."

Zhu Di waved his hand to tell them all to shut up.

"Prince, how much grain is harvested now?"

The prince came out and reported in detail the situation of grain collection.

"Farmers in Nanjing have basically participated in this grain harvest. Although the production has been reduced by half, fortunately, the production of sweet potatoes is high, enough for the people to eat for the first half of the year, and should be enough to support them through this locust plague."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction and praised him.

"Well done, you are worthy of being the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty."

Not only Zhu Di, but all the ministers admired His Highness the Crown Prince when they heard the words, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Food is good, food is good.

"But..." The crown prince still said with a worried face: "This time the grain collection is only in Nanjing and one or two nearby counties and counties. There are no other places. I am afraid that there will be no grain harvest now."

When Zhu Di and his ministers heard the words, their faces were immediately sad, but they had no choice but to sigh.

"My son is useless, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The crown prince took the lead in pleading guilty, and the ministers were even more ashamed.

Thinking back to the time when the crown prince wanted to collect food in advance, they thought that His Royal Highness had lost his mind, and now it can be said to be a slap in the face.

"I don't blame you, it's my fault. If I make a decisive decision and let all the states and counties respond to your call, they will not refuse to listen to you."

"If it wasn't for the prince, there would be a famine in Nanjing."

As Zhu Di said, he went down to help the prince himself, and held his hand with a look of relief.

Seeing this, everyone kowtowed to the prince one after another.

Although the second and third children were not convinced, they had nothing to say.

When the prince saw the crowd kneeling down on him, he hurriedly called them up.

"Ministers, get up quickly, and your second and third brothers also get up. This matter has nothing to do with me, but the work of Mr. Lu."

"Xianzi Lu?"

"Is it Lu Xianzi again?"

"Why is everything Lu Xianzi?"

"Isn't he too amazing?"

There was commotion underground.

"It is indeed Lu Xianzi. He predicted that there would be a locust plague in the south, and he came to my house to ask me to collect food."

"I'm ashamed to say that I... didn't believe him at the time."

His Royal Highness is also very embarrassed.

Although he was the one who gave the order to collect the grain, the credit really belonged to Mr. Lu, and he deserved the gift from all the ministers.

If he had been firmer at that time, or had harvested more grain, then there would have been fewer starving people.

Every county in Lu County can use their heads as guarantees for the common people.

But he, the majestic prince of a country, is not firm at all.

It is really ashamed of the people and ancestors.

Now that everyone kneels down on him like this, he really deserves it.

The more they think he has meritorious service, the more guilty he feels.

Zhu Di, Yang Shiqi and the others knew the inside story, seeing the prince's heartbroken, their faces were burning with pain.

The prince didn't trust Lu Xianzi enough, so he collected all the food in Nanjing, what about them?

Nothing was done.

I also feel that Lu Lin is talking nonsense, waiting to see other people's jokes.

This is what they call shame, and they have given up all their old faces.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, let's discuss how to deal with the locust plague next."

Zhu Di changed the subject because he has no face.

Although he didn't stop Lu Lin and the prince, he didn't help him either. Isn't this a sign of distrust?

So now he deserves to worry about the plague of locusts and famine.

All the ministers said yes.

"Now that locusts are infested, covering the sky and the sun, we should send troops to hunt and kill them early, otherwise they will continue to grow, and I am afraid that other states and counties will be affected."

Yang Shiqi said.

Zhu Di nodded: "Yang Aiqing's words are reasonable, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of War and Ying Tianfu, and all the manpower that can be deployed in Nanjing City and its surrounding areas will be deployed to hunt and kill the locusts."

"The minister leads the order."

The Minister of the Ministry of War and Yin Tianfu said immediately.

Especially Yin Tianfu Yin, wished he could climb out to receive the order, so that he could atone for his crimes.

Thinking about two days ago when the crown prince and Mr. Lu collected grain, he even came out to stop them with big words.

If you slap your face now, you may become the laughing stock of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty in the future.

If His Majesty knew about it, he would probably blow his head off.

"In addition to hunting and killing, the crown prince and the household department must make preparations for disaster relief, so as not to let the people go hungry."

"My son leads the order."

"The minister leads the order."

Apart from catching and killing locusts and providing disaster relief, there seems to be no other way to face the locust plague.

Zhu Di was tired and was about to retire, but the Minister of the Household Department suddenly started to play.
