The next morning, the diary was updated.

[After long-term sleepless study, I finally learned 100% of my master's real skills! ] [I got up at chenshi, and I have nothing to do, so I'll tell you a fortune~~~] [This June, there will be a flood in Shengzhou, Jiangnan! ] [This July, locusts will pass through Zhaoyang County. ] [Wait! Locusts? July? Zhaoyang County? ] The diary content is not updated much, but the amount of information is enough.

Preparations have already been made in the capital, and Helian Yu was so anxious that he jumped up.

July is the harvest season for the first batch of high-yield spring wheat. If locusts come, won’t all the efforts be wasted? Helian Yu called Chang An into the room.

"Chang'an, what methods are generally used to prevent and control locusts?"

Chang An was somewhat at a loss for words for this sudden question: "There is no definite method of prevention and control so far. Usually, when locusts pass through, the people drive them away. But sometimes the locusts are so fierce that they will eat people."

"Is that so..." Helian Yu nodded, stroking her chin with her small hand, "Wake up Chun and Cidong and ask them to come in."

Chang An went out and called in the two people who were waiting in the kitchen for cakes and medicine.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Xingchun and Cidong bowed.

Helian Yu waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I remember Xingchun is reading medical books, and Cidong is better at cooking."

The two of them said modestly: "Master, you are too kind."

"It's not a matter of being modest or not." Helian Yu never showed empty courtesy to his own people. "Xingchun, look through medical books and find some herbs that can drive away or kill locusts. Fumigation is best."

Xingchun's pupils were shining with excitement like stars: "Xingchun will check carefully and find it for the master."

Although she didn't know why Helian Yu wanted to cure the locusts, she felt honored to be commanded by her master, to take on responsibilities and to be loyal to him.

Helian Yu looked at Ci Dong and said, "Ci Dong, try making some food that attracts locusts, especially food that can directly attract locusts to gather when placed in wheat fields and crops."

Ci Dong didn't have much idea, but from the connections between the context, she was sure that this was a preparation for a locust plague.

Serving the country, the people and oneself will bring only benefits and no harm.

Ci Dong nodded: "Ci Dong will definitely try his best."

Helian Yu waved away Xingchun and Cidong and waved to Chang An. Chang An understood that there was something more important to tell him, so he lowered his head and moved closer.

"Before July, strengthen your ability to command the officers and soldiers of Zhaoyang County. It is best to ensure that you carry out orders and never be perfunctory."

Without good leadership capabilities, the solution to the locust problem alone would not benefit the entire Zhaoyang County.

After Helian Yu finished speaking, she secretly admired her ability to see the overall situation. It was worth it that her master forced her to recite lessons every day!

Chang An knelt on the ground with his brows and eyes lowered, his whole body aura was a little disordered: "Master, this is not in accordance with etiquette. The master is in charge of the ruling, and the county governor is in charge. Chang An has no official position and no status, so he should not overstep his authority."

Helian Yu lay on the couch, lifted Chang An's chin with her little hand, and blinked her clever and cunning grape eyes: "Compared to the county governor, I trust you more."

Chang An's eyes froze. The warm feeling on his chin made him feel uncomfortable and awkward, but for Helian Yu's trust, he felt like drinking hot soup and felt indescribably comfortable.

"I don't have that much time to worry about everything. My master will ask me to memorize the books, and my father and my brother will ask me to attend various palace banquets."

Helian Yu supported his chin, sighed softly, and then looked at Chang An cheerfully.

"But it's different with you. You can rule Zhaoyang County well. When your ambitions don't expand to an unreasonable level, you can still be under my command. I can worry less."

Chang An: “…”

The master had already assumed that he would betray.

The Imperial Master must have taught his master many conspiracies and tricks, so that he would not trust the people around him easily.

Chang An took a step on his knees and stood in front of the large carved bed, his eyes sincere and pious: "Even if Chang An is a wild dog, he can still hold the word loyalty. If the master does not believe it, Chang An will do it for you with his life."

Helian Yu propped up his chin, his eyes wandered over Chang An's determined eyes and expression, and smiled slightly: "Okay."

She seemed to have changed the fate of the 'future governor of the East Factory'.

I have already changed a governor, so can I also succeed in reversing the demise of Daxia? Helian Yu couldn't help but look forward to it, and patted Chang'an's shoulder excitedly: "Good boy."

Which storybook is this praise from?

…

Capital city, Imperial Master’s Mansion.

"Miss Ruan, my master hasn't returned yet. Please come back in a few days."

Chang Zuo said this for the fourth time, and he himself felt a little tired.

Ruan Luo suspected that Chang Zuo didn't want to let her in at all. What's more, she hadn't heard that the Imperial Master was out.

"Brother Chang Zuo, you——"

"Don't." Chang Zuo almost drew his sword when he heard this address. He looked at Ruan Luo with a stern face, "Miss, you are about the same age as me, there is no need to address me like this."

He was more accustomed to Helian Yu calling him that. At least in terms of age, he was indeed nearly ten years older than her.

However, when Helian Yu needed his help, he would call him "Brother Chang Zuo", and when he was angry, he would call him Chang Zuo.

Ruan Luo was embarrassed and annoyed: "Master Chang Zuo, I really have something important to discuss with the Imperial Master."

"My young master is definitely not in the mansion."

Chang Zuo was even more helpless. He had to explain it to her every day, which was annoying enough.

"This is my fourth time coming to the Imperial Master's Mansion. I've done this once and for all. Can't the Imperial Master see my sincerity?" Ruan Luo was dissatisfied and his voice was a little excited.

Chang Zuo: “…”

How could he make her believe that the young master was really not in the mansion? Besides, his young master had one terrible disciple, and he couldn't afford a second one.

Chang Zuo really had nothing to say, so he stood silently in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion, refusing to pay any attention to Ruan Luo.

Ruan Luo returned home with a failure for the fourth time. - Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

The calming agarwood burned quietly as the emperor and the prince sat and stood respectively.

"Are you here because of the flood?"

The prince lowered his eyes and bowed, "Yes. I have been to Jiangnan three times and am quite familiar with it. I am willing to do my best to deal with the flood."

Both father and son knew the blatant secret.

From the spring wheat harvest to the cannon fire, everyone was pretending to be ignorant even though they knew the truth.

"In this case, the Crown Prince will go to Jiangnan again in three days to investigate the Zhou family case in depth."

"Your son obeys your order." -Zhaoyang County.

Birthday banquet for the old lady of the Feng family.

The abrasions and blisters on Helian Yu's feet have healed, but in order to prevent this from happening again, all her shoes have been replaced with the softest material, and the soles have also been specially crafted to better protect her feet.

"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived——"

The honor guard brought by Jingli stopped in front of the Feng family’s gate with great fanfare.

No matter whether they were the host or the guests, they all knelt down and bowed and prayed.

"Everyone, get up."

Helian Yu wore a crimson palace skirt, and the phoenix pearl hairpin and oriental pearl on her head were particularly eye-catching. She still looked childish but exuded nobility.

Helian Yu was very good at pretending to be reserved and it was very natural for her to do so.
