System: Counterattack from Iron Man

Chapter 174 Drought
"Immortal Master, I drove away the Turkic Prince. As for the vast territory of the Western Regions, look...?"

The reason Tanghuang dared to do this was entirely because of Luo Wen,
He has such ability, he also has such power,
It's just that the immortal master has always had no desires and no desires, and has never expressed any ambitions.
Why are you so 'indignant' today, and why are you so 'outrageous'?

"I'm here today to solve the difficulties!"

Forehead.,

difficulty?

"Master Immortal, it's not Lao Cheng, I don't believe you, it's just the Turkic territory, which is not smaller than my Tang Dynasty, and our Tang Dynasty is now facing a drought in Shandong, and the victims are everywhere. How can we send troops to conquer the Turks?"

"Yes, Immortal Master, it is gratifying to conquer the Turks, but now is not the best time!"

Civil and military officials, no matter what kind of attitude they had towards Luo Wen in the past, fear, respect, curiosity, discussion, fear should be more than approval,
But today, in front of the Turkic prince, they suddenly felt,
Immortal Master and them are 'one of our own', and he is a very respectable person!

"Master Immortal, it's not that I don't believe you. With the current national power of the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed not so easy to win the entire Turkic territory!"

"Drought in Shandong, refugees are everywhere. I have ordered Xinghuofang from all over the country to send food to Shandong. It is estimated that in the past two days, work will be used for relief, so that those hungry victims can have work to do and earn food to make ends meet. !"

Forehead.?

"Master Immortal, there are tens of millions of victims in Shandong?"

"Yes, besides, there are so many people, how can there be so many things, arrange them to do it?"

"Xinghuofang dispatched 1 million tons of grain, oh, that's [-] million shi, which should be able to support the victims until next year's spring planting! As for what to do, of course it is to build roads!"

A stone of grain in the Tang Dynasty weighed about 100 catties,
And the numbers in Luo Wen's mouth made Manchu civil and military dizzy even more.

Twenty million shi, the immortal master wants each victim to eat an average of 20 shi of grain?
This is not disaster relief, it's all about making them full and full!
"Here, why can Xinghuofang have so much food?"

"Okay, let's talk about this later, there is one more important thing for you to watch together today!"

"Um, I don't know what the immortal master said?"

Tang Huang's heart moved, as if he thought of something,
Chen Xinwen, the general manager of Wutong and Xinghuofang, usually keeps in touch with each other.
Not long ago, there was news that Xinghuofang's newly developed "sharp weapon" was about to be mass-produced.
Is it?

"Hehe, the weather is bright and refreshing today. Why don't Emperor Tang and his ministers accompany me for a trip to the suburbs?"

"Queen, it's bad, it's bad, the fourth Turkic prince in the hall suddenly asked His Majesty to give him a marriage, this is going to be a bad situation!"

"what?"

"Really, but,"

whee,

The previous tension was replaced by a smiling expression of joy,

"Oh, you girl, if you have something to say, hurry up, whoever you are learning from now, it's so unruly!"

"Oh, the four princes of the Turkic Empire wanted to be married by His Majesty. At a time when the civil and military officials of the entire court were astonished, the Immortal Master suddenly appeared and not only shocked them with a few words, but also said that he would conquer the Western Regions and take all the territory of the Turks!"

"what?"

"Isn't it that our Great Tang has to fight again and again, and it's hard to recuperate. This... will waste people and money again?"

"His Royal Highness, you can't blame our Tang Dynasty for this, it's because the Turkic people are too presumptuous, and they want our princess from the Tang Dynasty to marry us, so we should teach them a lesson!"

Humph,
The Great Tang was a martial artist, and even a maidservant in the palace was so defiant of the threat of foreign force,

Being insulted, I want to retaliate even more,
It's really incredible!
"You didn't spread this news to other people, did you? Especially the princesses?"

"Oh, that's not the case. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately ran over to tell Her Highness the Queen!"

call,
"That's fine, wait a minute,"

wow,
"His Majesty is here!"

"Guanyin servant girl, hurry up, clean up, take the princess and the prince, let's go to the Xinghuofang in Nanshan together, and the ministers have already gone home and brought their families. Later, the fairy master has something for you We show, and I'm sure it will blow our minds and take our breath away!"

As soon as Emperor Tang entered the harem, he impatiently urged Empress Changsun, as if he was afraid that if the delay was too long, he would not be able to catch up.

"Ah, do all the princesses and princes have to go? What if something unexpected happens...?"

Empress Changsun did not explain, but her worry is also obvious,

"Hey, this time it was invited by the immortal master. If there is any accident, there is no need to wait until today. Every time the immortal master enters and leaves the palace, it is like no one is in the land. Go and call them, and you will return later." Get out of town!"

Forehead.,

What Emperor Tang said was very reasonable, Empress Changsun didn't say anything more,
"Come on, hurry up and inform the princes and princesses to gather in my palace within half a stick of incense!"

"Yes!"

"Hmph, I'm out of my mind, if you don't want to study, go and call a servant over!"

"Grandpa, once this article is published, will it be difficult for us to communicate with the royal family?"

In the study room of Lu Mansion, there is a solemn ink fragrance,
Meanwhile, Lu Shou, who was writing vigorously, had a disagreement with Lu Xinyue at this time.

"Uh, is it because we are afraid of imperial power that we give up justice and join forces with them?"

"Xinyue is not afraid of imperial power, Xinyue is just worried that the people in her hometown will be implicated because of this matter, at that time!"

"Well, it is my responsibility to uphold the principles of etiquette and law. It's just that it's not appropriate for you to get involved with a girl's family. In this way, I will send someone to escort you back to your hometown in Shandong in the past two days, so that the crown prince won't be in trouble all day long. entangled with you!"

what?
"Grandpa, Xinyue doesn't want to go back, Xinyue just wants to be here with you!"

"Do you want to accompany me, or do you want to accompany the prince?"

"Master, Master, something is wrong!"

blah blah, blah, blah

Before Lu Xinyue could respond, a flustered Confucian shirt disciple suddenly ran in outside the door,

"There's news from Shandong, huh!"

"Why are you panicking? You don't have any manners. Tell me, what happened?"

"Master, there is a severe drought in my hometown in Shandong, and the crops are not harvested. Now, now, there are hungry people everywhere, woo woo!"

what?
"Has the stored food ever been distributed?"

It seems that Lu Shou is not as selfish as Tang Huang thought, nor is he so ignorant of priorities,
"What's the point of distributing, the food reserves of the aristocratic family have long been robbed by the hungry people, and now they are only for their own family to eat, and they can't last seven days!"

what?
Lu Shou and Lu Xinyue both had expressions of panic,

Standing up from the futon even more anxiously.

"No, I want to enter the palace!"

"Grandpa, what about this article?"

"What kind of article is there, as long as it can save the victims in Shandong, I don't care about this old face of this old man!"

For the sake of his ideal, Lu Shou is willing to try his own way to be true,

But compared with the lives of tens of millions of people in my hometown, this so-called "righteousness" has to be sidelined.

blah blah, blah, blah

"Master, someone from the palace has announced the decree!"

Forehead?
"The sage ordered, Xuan Lu Shou, Lu Xinyue to go to Mingde Gate immediately, there must be no mistake!"

Ming Demen?
Why not the palace, but the South Gate?

"Father-in-law, can I ask you one more question, why does Your Majesty want my grandpa and grandson to go to Mingde Gate suddenly?"

"This matter has something to do with the Immortal Master. Not only His Majesty and all civil and military officials gathered at Mingde Gate, but even many dignitaries in Chang'an City received the oracle. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu and Miss Xinyue are Immortal Masters." It was specifically confessed, and His Majesty will send someone to invite the roll call!"

Immortal?

Mr. Luo...uh, teacher?

Both Lu Shou and Lu Xinyue looked dazed and puzzled,
But such a big move, they also have a premonition that something big will happen,

Whether it's Lu Shou who is about to enter the palace to face the saint, or Lu Xinyue who hasn't seen her teacher for a long time,

At this time, they all silently followed behind the eunuch who passed the decree, and went straight to Mingde Gate!
