Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

"It's feasible." Li Chengqian's eyes were determined, "About [-] ducks can eat up all the locusts in [-] acres of land."

"If we are well prepared, the locust plague will not cause us substantial harm."

"It is now May, and the outbreak of locust plagues is mostly in July. In other words, we still have two months to prepare."

In fact, the best way to kill locusts is chemical control.

But the prevention and treatment of this medicine can only respond to temporary needs, and cannot guarantee long-term stability.

The most fundamental thing is to protect the ecological environment and fundamentally eliminate the hidden dangers of locust plagues.

However, this is all something later, and the most important thing at present is to deal with the upcoming locust plague.

"Your Highness, if there is anything we need to do, just tell us, we will do our best." Qin Feng looked at Li Chengqian and said firmly.

He has followed Li Chengqian the longest and knows Li Chengqian best.

As long as there is Li Chengqian, all problems will not be a problem.

They just need to follow the method Li Chengqian said, and the problem will be solved.

"Sun Liuchuan."

"I'm humble."

"Insect nets and simple protective clothing need to be mass-produced as soon as possible, and then put on the market to prepare for the locust plague."

"Impossible to take orders."

In addition to insect nets, Li Chengqian also designed simple protective clothing.

If the locust plague is too large and swarms of locusts cross the border, the damage to humans and livestock will be huge.

"Qin Feng."

"I'm humble."

"The preparation methods of these locust dishes have been written down in detail by me. You go to Zuixianlou and let the chef master them as soon as possible. Promote these dishes and let Zuixianlou set the price higher. "

"After the chefs have mastered it, you will spread the production method and the benefits of eating locusts to all towns in Gyeonggi-do, large and small restaurants in the fastest time, to strengthen competitiveness, so as to realize the locusts in a short period of time. Huge market demand."

"Impossible to take orders."

"Ji'er."

"Wu Jue is here."

"You set up a locust purchase point at Qinghuo Trading Company, and one month later, you will extend the purchase point to all towns in Gyeonggi Province. The price is six coins per catty. No matter how much there is, I will accept all of them."

"Wu Jue takes orders."

"Zheng Qian."

"I'm humble."

"Store the insect nets and protective clothing produced by Luban Pavilion in the treasury of Qinghuo Trading Company for sale."

"In addition, a large number of poultry were introduced and handed over to farmers in Gyeonggi Province for free-range breeding, and these farmers who participated in the breeding were paid a certain commission to increase farmers' enthusiasm for breeding."

"Impossible to take orders."

The locusts born in Gyeonggi-do probably won't understand until they die.

Li Chengqian actually thought that they had laid such a huge net.

early june...

Chang'an City...

The sun is shining brightly and scorching hot.

It has been more than a month and a half since Li Chengqian started to prepare for the protection against the locust plague.

But Gyeonggi-do still did not drop half a drop of rain.

Changan Bashui, the water level has dropped by more than half, and Gyeonggi-do has officially entered a drought period.

However, thanks to Li Chengqian's efforts, locusts have become a popular delicacy in Gyeonggi-do.

The existing locusts have also suffered a catastrophe because of this.

"Brother Fangzheng, I'll hand over the locusts."

Qinghuo Trading Company, the locust purchase point, a dusty boy is handing in locusts with a dirty cloth bag.

Fangzheng took the cloth bag, shook it in his hands, and said with a smile, "Ergou, the weight of the locust is much lighter today."

"Alas..." Ergou sighed, "Since restaurants of all sizes in Gyeonggi Province have added locusts to their recipes, more and more people are catching locusts."

"This year, there is a severe drought again. Many families have started to catch locusts to subsidize their families. This year has just been good for two years. Why is there another natural disaster?"

Er Gou said, his words were full of helplessness.

"Here, Ergou, this is today's locust money." Fangzheng handed three copper coins to Ergou, and continued, "At your young age, you have learned to worry about others."

"It's not unreasonable to worry about the sky. After all, we ordinary people who are suffering haha ​​live their lives according to God."

Ergou looked at the people behind him who were not in line, and chatted with Fangzheng.

"Don't worry." Fangzheng handed the cloth bag to the man behind him, "Even if you suffer from a natural disaster, then you don't have to worry about it. Let's not say that we are the capital, His Royal Highness will not let us ordinary people sleep in the open and have nothing to eat. "

Ergou nodded, "That's true. I heard that the dish made of locusts was developed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Brother Fang, you work in Qinghuo Trading Company, have you met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Of course." Fangzheng said with a proud face, "At the end of last year, His Highness the Crown Prince personally wrapped up New Year's money for us fellows of Qinghuo Trading Company, and the amount was huge."

"You don't know, His Royal Highness is very generous and friendly. He treats us guys very well."

"Oh..." Ergou sighed, "Brother Fang, I really envy you, what..."

As he was speaking, a scream suddenly shook the sky from Dongshi.

"Hurry up, everyone, to Niulin Town in the southern suburbs, there are locusts!"

With just this one sentence, the people in the entire East City are boiling.

"Hurry up, everyone! A lot of copper coins are waving to us..."

"Locusts? It's great that we finally made it to this day..."

"My God, there is a plague of locusts, God bless us, this is sending us money..."

Hearing that locusts had appeared in the southern suburbs, no one panicked, but was extremely excited, as if they had heard great news.

Er Gou picked up the insect net beside him, "Brother Fang, I won't tell you anymore, I'm here to buy and sell!"

In a blink of an eye, Ergou disappeared among the insect catching army.

Chang'an City...

palace...

Ganlu Hall...

Li Shimin was pacing in the hall, his brows were furrowed, and his face was anxious.

There was no rain in Gyeonggi-do, and a severe drought hit, but he was worried.

Notes on various problems caused by the drought have filled the desks.

"It's been less than five years since I succeeded to the throne, how come there are so many disasters in the Tang Dynasty, plague, smallpox, drought, flood..."

"I haven't missed any of these disasters, especially in Gyeonggi Province. The impact of last year's flood disaster has not been completely eliminated, and this year there is another severe drought."

"How does this make me explain to the people of the world, what kind of emperor am I?"

Chapter 587 You seem to be seriously ill, eating locusts?

Your Majesty, you must not underestimate yourself. "Changsun Wuji stood up and persuaded: "From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, there is no place where there is no disaster. "

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Central Plains, there were many plagues. Every family had the pain of lying dead, and there was the sound of weeping in every room. People who closed their doors or died with their families. Isn't this tragic?"

"On the other hand, in my Great Tang, the Fusang Japanese pirates plotted so viciously that the people of the whole city of my Tang Dynasty were infected with smallpox. However, at this critical moment, His Royal Highness, with a clever plan, solved it easily."

"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, in the Shandong area, the sea water overflowed, flowing out from the southwest, and soaked for hundreds of miles. The land of the Nine Rivers was gradually destroyed by the sea, and half of the city was on the verge of collapse." "

"On the other hand, in my Tang Dynasty, the city of Chang'an was suspended under the flood. His Royal Highness, took the lead and devised a good plan to save the people from danger. Isn't this the blessing of the Tang Dynasty?"

Several princes in the palace heard this, and unconsciously gave the eldest grandson Wuji a thumbs up.

It's really not easy for this uncle to be in this position.

To persuade Li Shimin, he did not forget to boast about his nephew.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as we work together to solve natural disasters and overcome difficulties, it will be nothing..."

Fang Xuanling stood up and agreed.

"Alas..." Li Shimin sighed, "I just feel sorry for the common people. Whenever there is a natural disaster, it is the common people who suffer."

"If there are two more corrupt officials like Dang Renhong who broke the law, how will the people live."

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "By the way, where is Cheng Qian? I haven't seen his shadow for half a month."

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I don't see him being impatient when such a big incident happened in Gyeonggi Province."

Liu Renyuan took a step forward, "Return to Your Majesty, it is said that His Highness the Crown Prince predicted that there would be a plague of locusts in Gyeonggi Province, and His Highness the Crown Prince has been working hard to prevent the plague of locusts for the past two months."

"Gyeonggi Province, locust plague?" Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he lowered his eyes: "What the hell is he talking about? Where did the locust plague come from in Gyeonggi Province? He really regards himself as an old god who can pinch and count?"

"There's a severe drought in Gyeonggi-do, and he's busy enough. He doesn't come up with a plan to solve the problem, but he's worrying about unnecessary things. He's really mad at me."

The more Li Shimin talked, the more angry he was, the drought from the sky was enough to upset him, if there were locusts again, wouldn't it push them into the abyss?

The destructive power of the locust plague is much more ferocious than the drought.

Li Shimin is not willing to accept this fact at all.

The ancients believed deeply in the theory of interaction between heaven and man, even if he was an emperor, he was no exception.

If there is a disaster, there will be rumors among the people again, and Li Shimin must be inseparable.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what His Highness the Crown Prince did is not unreasonable. Since ancient times, there must be a drought before every locust plague. His Highness's actions can be said to be a precautionary measure."

"Besides, Gyeonggi Province has been a place where locust plagues have frequently occurred since ancient times. It's not like you don't understand His Highness. How could His Highness do such a useless effort?"

Changsun Wuji hastily stepped forward to persuade him.

If you want to hate his nephew, there is no way.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin interrupted suddenly: "I think what Mr. Changsun said is reasonable. I tasted the locusts, and they were very delicious."

"I still want to eat it when I go back today. It's a good appetizer."

As he spoke, there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Li Shimin frowned, and looked at Cheng Yaojin in a daze, "You...you eat locusts?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yaojin nodded hurriedly and said, "Is there anything strange about this? I...I like to eat it."

"Would you like me to bring you something to taste?"

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed through his tears, "I don't want to eat it, so I'll leave it to you."

He thought to himself: You seem to be suffering from a serious illness, eating locusts?Is it disgusting?

Li Shimin laughed awkwardly, and found that everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

just like……

It's as if he is the one who eats locusts and is very ignorant.

"Your Majesty, locusts are really delicious." Du Ruhui said abruptly, startling Li Shimin.

If these words came out of Cheng Yaojin's mouth, he would treat him like a haha ​​and laugh it off.

But if it came out of Du Ruhui's mouth, the nature would be completely different.

"En." Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement, "Pair it with some drunken fairy wine, it is indeed delicious in the world, let's put it this way, you can't miss it."

What the hell!

Li Shimin's mind is a little confused now, a mess.

He felt as if he had been derailed from the world.
