Great Tang: Locust Plague Strikes, and the Emperor Comes to Borrow Grain

In the second year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang dynasty, a severe drought strikes the land, followed by a locust plague.

Corpses litter the ground, cries of misery fill the countryside, and some people are even forced to eat their own children.

The court is gripped by panic, and Emperor Li Er is consumed with worry.

Su Mao, who has been enjoying the blessings of a 007 work schedule, arrives through time with his warehouse and becomes a farm owner outside Chang'an.

He owns a hundred mu of fertile land and spends his days in peaceful leisure.

When the officials hear about him, they can no longer sit still and rush to petition the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I looked into this man. His name is Su Mao, and his hundred mu of farmland has yielded a bountiful harvest this year..."

"He has also opened a porridge shop, giving aid to passing refugees every day..."

"We beg Your Majesty, for the sake of the Tang dynasty and its people, to graciously borrow grain in the name of the court!"

"I second the proposal!"

The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers lead the civil and military officials in bowing their heads to make the request.

Just then, the young Princess Changle steps forward. "Father, Mother has disguised herself and left the palace to borrow grain."
