Chapter 221 That Should Be a Plague of Locusts

Ma Zhou's face was almost frozen. This person should have a high official position. Looking up, Changsun Wuji was also looking at him.

"Huh? Your Highness, who is this person? A new guard in the palace?"

Li Ke smiled: "Not really, the people who will work next to me in the future."

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

"What, Your Highness, I have itchy hands recently, and I want to try that hot pot dish His Highness mentioned."

Li Ke got up slowly, and took out a booklet from the side, "Hot pot is not a dish, it's just a way of eating, it's just this way of eating, you need to put some thought into it."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, "Your Highness, why is there still beef?"

"Is there enough cattle in the world?"

Changsun Wuji's question made Ma Zhou fall into deep thought. Could it be that His Highness the Third Highness usually likes to eat beef?
As everyone knows, Li Ke eats extremely fiercely here, and Xiao Tiangou and Shui Qilin are both big cooks.

"Last year, when the Empress saw me eating beef, she asked me why I dared to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it, I told him that there are fewer cattle in the world, not because there are fewer cattle, but because some people don't know how to control them. Not surprisingly, the empress has already started implementing this method."

"From now on, there will be no shortage of beef in Datang."

After Li Ke finished speaking, Changsun Wuji was stunned, what else could happen?

"Thank you Your Highness, that's how it is."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard. Now that he has no ambitions, he can be strong without desires. He is also an elder in front of Li Ke.

"Ke'er, uncle didn't say some outrageous things today, what about uncle, now that you understand it, I'll ask you, does your method really allow people in the world to have beef?"

Li Ke didn't answer, but Daji had already helped to answer.

"The master has never failed in his work, why do you ask?"

Daji's aura was released, and a coercion subsided in an instant, Changsun Wuji only felt that the beautiful woman in front of him was like an insurmountable mountain!
"No, no..."

Ma Zhou watched clearly from the side, and his heart was even more turbulent.

Li Ke said lightly: "Okay, uncle, you go and let them make hot pot, and someone will come to talk to me about business in a while."

Li Shimin has already prepared money. After all, salt and iron plus coal mines, he already has a lot of money. Now is the time to buy vegetables from Li Ke.

Ma Zhou knelt on the ground without moving. When he got in front of Li Ke, he knew that it was a good idea to shut up.

There were many strange things today, just now he heard His Highness call that person Uncle, and His Highness only has one uncle in the world.

That is Changsun Wuji!
What is Changsun Wuji doing now?Why did he ask His Highness for the recipe?

What does it mean!
It's a bit messy!
The Duke of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson of the uncle of the country, Wuji, wants to learn how to cook...

This has a big impact on Ma Zhou's three views.

Not long after, Li Shimin came happily wrapped in furs. When he saw Ma Zhou, he didn't forget to say to Li Ke: "How long has Ma Zhou been here, and you let him kneel all the time?"

Li Ke smiled, waved his hand, and signaled that Ma Zhou could get up.

Ma Zhou turned around and wanted to retreat, but Li Ke said flatly, "Just listen to it."

Li Shimin stroked his beard at this time: "Ke'er, just tell me, those vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes, you can say a price."

"Each kind of 10 taels of gold, not a penny less."

Li Shimin was startled: "No, why did you raise the price?"

Li Ke shrugged: "There is no way, I also want to make money, you know, in Yong'an Garden, the daily expenses are not small."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "Ke'er, it's you. If it were anyone else, I would cut off his head right away."

"I only give you this face!"

Ma Zhou stood aside respectfully, his mind a little confused.

Is this an exchange between the emperor and the prince?
This Highness is a bit powerful.

Li Ke smiled: "The seeds are all prepared for you, you can try it around Chang'an this year."

"Don't let the common people just grow potatoes. For things like potatoes, once they are planted, the land will be useless. It will take a year to grow other things."

"Which of these vegetables is not a good thing?"

After Li Ke's words fell, Li Shimin nodded again and again: "Ke'er, whatever you say is right, by the way, besides this, I have one more thing to ask you."

Li Ke slightly raised his eyelids, "Say it."

"A few days ago, some people said that in the southern land, the crops disappeared inexplicably. Spring planting is the most important thing for the people in the world, but just after the spring planting is over, the crops and food are gone."

Li Ke frowned slightly. This matter was not necessarily bizarre. He recalled some past memories about the history of Tang Dynasty.

In those memories, in the first and second years of Zhenguan, it seems that there were quite a lot of disasters in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention floods, the Yellow River has always been a problem.

Drought, there is no way. During this period of time, there is no place on the earth where the climate is stable.

locust plague

By the way, it may be this thing!
Li Ke's eyes lit up, "The plague of locusts."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Ma Zhou was dumbfounded.

Li Shimin felt goose bumps all over his body for a while.

No, I have just been enthroned, so why don't you give me this?
Those guys with five surnames and seven wangs haven't stabilized yet. As soon as they are told to shut up, the plague of locusts comes.

Is God trying to make things difficult for me on purpose?

For a moment, Li Shimin only felt his head buzzing.

"Ke'er, aren't you lying to me?"

locust!Throughout the dynasties, whenever locusts were encountered, accidents would occur.

During the Han Dynasty, the locust plague appeared. Although it was just an inconspicuous disaster, it became a turning point for the Han Dynasty.

The locust plague in the Sui Dynasty was also extremely dangerous. It directly emptied the treasury of Emperor Sui Yang, forcing Emperor Sui Yang to choose to fight, otherwise, the conflict would intensify.

Li Shimin is well aware of the horror of the locust plague.

"Ke'er, can you do anything?"

Li Ke waved his hand: "You ask me, I still want to ask you, but locusts are delicious."

After Li Ke finished speaking, Li Shimin's face turned green.

Locusts are unclean things, can they still be eaten?

Li Shimin didn't have time to brag anymore, so he returned to the imperial study in a hurry.

On Li Ke's side, as soon as Li Shimin left, Ma Zhou spoke up.

He couldn't help it.

"Your Highness, the plague of locusts is really coming?"

"What? Don't believe me?"

Ma Zhou is a wise man, "Your Highness, I want to ask, what will Your Highness do if the locust plague comes?"

"As far as I know, after a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic."

Li Ke smiled: "What can I do, I just say one word, eat."

"Locusts are a good thing, they can be eaten!"

"They don't eat, I eat!"

"When the time comes, you will follow along."

When Ma Zhou heard that Li Ke was serious, he immediately laughed.
