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

for a moment...

Li Shimin walked back to the futon slowly, sat on it, pretended to be calm, and said in a deep voice: "Shiyuan, tell me what measures Chengqian has taken to prevent locust plagues."

He thought about it in his heart, it's better not to get angry before the matter is figured out.

Judging from this situation, Li Chengqian must have made a lot of noise again.

If you criticize him indiscriminately, you may be beaten back.

Liu Renyuan stepped forward and said, "Return to Your Majesty, it is like this. In order to prevent locust plagues, His Royal Highness specially made several delicious dishes with locusts, and provided them to all restaurants in Gyeonggi Province for free."

"Many stations for purchasing locusts have also been set up, and many poultry have been transferred from other areas and handed over to farmers in Gyeonggi Province for breeding to prevent locust plagues."

"Your Majesty, you don't know how popular these dishes are in the Gyeonggi-do area. The existing locusts are almost caught by the people."

"The purchase price of locusts has also increased from six cents a catty to ten cents a catty."

Li Shimin looked at him resentfully, and said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, you know the news so well, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Er..." Liu Renyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs recently, and the general...the general feels that there is no need to report these trivial matters to you one by one."

"Hmph! A trivial matter?" Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Do you think the severe drought in Gyeonggi Province is a trivial matter, or the locust plague in Gyeonggi Province is a trivial matter?"

"This..." Liu Renyuan was left speechless by Li Shimin, "The last general dare not."

"Don't dare, I see your courage, isn't it small?" Li Shimin said sarcastically.

It happened that the anger in my heart had no place to vent, didn't this come to my door?

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the southern suburbs of Chang'an City!"

While the two were talking, a postman suddenly ran in.

Li Shimin hurriedly stood up from the futon and asked anxiously, "What happened in the southern suburbs?"

He didn't care about getting angry with Liu Ren, he was worried, now is an extraordinary period, the severe drought has arrived, and there will be locust plagues again, don't make any more troubles.

The postman hurriedly responded: "There is a plague of locusts in the southern suburbs, the number is very large, covering the sky and covering the land, and a large area of ​​fertile land has been damaged."

"There's a plague of locusts!" Li Shimin exclaimed in shock.

In the original drought, the crops in the field were half dead, and they were barely irrigated by the little water stored in Chang'an Bashui.

The plague of locusts may not be all over.

Chapter 588 Is this a plague of locusts?Does this look like a disaster?

What!There is a plague of locusts! Li Shimin's eyes immediately turned cold, and he said angrily: "Didn't you say that the prince has already started to deal with the locust plague?" "

"Is this the consequence of his response?"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, before the matter is clarified, you must not act arbitrarily."

This time he was not for Li Chengqian, but completely stood on Li Shimin's standpoint, fearing that he would be slapped in the face again later.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin said disdainfully, "It's already this time, and you still speak for him."

"Let's not mention this, you all go to the southern suburbs with me to see how terrible this locust plague is!"

"I want to be with the people."

Liu Renyuan hastily persuaded him: "Your Majesty, no, although the locusts are not big, the threat of locust plague is not small. You must not put yourself in danger."

"Fart!" Li Shimin roared angrily: "I'm the emperor on horseback, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood flowing over me, I don't even pay attention to millions of soldiers, so why be afraid of little locusts!"

"Notify Yu Shinan to call all the officials of the Ministry of Industry and go to the southern suburbs together. If we can't figure out a solution today, I will feed them all to locusts."

Liu Renyuan cupped his hands and said: "The last general takes orders."

Then he turned around and left the Ganlu Hall.

The princes of the state saw that Li Shimin was a bastard eating the weights, and they became determined, so they stopped persuading him and followed him one after another.

Although they were also a little worried, they still believed in Li Chengqian's ability from the bottom of their hearts.

What's more, this time Li Chengqian predicted the locust plague in advance and prepared countermeasures two months in advance.

At the same time, the old eunuch Chen Lin ran in from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, the dragon chariot is ready, please move it."

"What kind of dragon chariot are you preparing for?" Li Shimin frowned, and lowered his eyes: "I'm on fire, do you think I'm going on an outing?"

"Get your horses ready! Get your horses ready!"

for a moment...

Li Shimin led several princes, put on civilian clothes, left from the south gate of Chang'an City, and flew towards the southern suburbs.

Along the way, I didn’t see locusts. They were full of people rushing to the southern suburbs with insect nets. Their faces were full of anxiety and joy, as if they were going to pick up money, but they couldn’t find it when they were late.

"Woo..." Li Shimin reined in the reins, stopped, waved his whip, pointed at the people who were busy on their way, and said to Liu Renyuan who was beside him in surprise, "What is this?"

There is no meaning of escaping the disaster. Who is escaping the disaster and running to the disaster area?

"This...the end is unknown..."

Liu Renyuan was also at a loss as to when the locust plague became so popular.

Cheng Yaojin got off his horse and grabbed a passerby who was on the way, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"

The man looked back, obviously angry, and just about to speak, he looked at Cheng Yaojin, who was broad and fat, with big arms and round waist, eight feet tall, paused, and said impatiently: "What's the matter with you, fat man?"

"Hehe..." Cheng Yaojin smiled, but did not get angry, "I want to ask, where are you going in such a hurry?"

The man looked contemptuously and said: "Where else can I go? Catch the locusts, don't you know that there is a plague of locusts in the southern suburbs?"

Cheng Yaojin was shocked and said: "I know, but the swarms of locusts are also very lethal, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"

"Make money, fat gentleman!" The man vowed, "If you have difficulties, you have to overcome them. Besides, don't you have protective clothing?"

"Make money?" Li Shimin got off his horse and asked doubtfully, "What money do you make?"

The man was obviously annoyed by the question, and said anxiously: "Oh, why are you guys so troublesome? If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first. The locusts will be caught in a while, my loss Who is responsible?"

Liu Renyuan took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and threw it to him, "Whatever my master asks, what do you answer?"

After receiving the money, the man showed joy, gritted his teeth, put it into his arms, looked into Li Shimin's eyes, and was much kinder, "My lord, what's the matter, just ask, the little one knows everything, There are endless words."

Li Shimin welcomed him to the side of the road and asked, "Zhen... Let me ask you, where did you get these nets and the strange clothes on them?"

puff...

The man couldn't help laughing, as if mocking Li Shimin's short-sightedness, and then explained: "This is called an insect net, and that is called a protective suit. They are all bought from Qinghuo Trading Company."

"The price is very cheap, you can buy this set for five yuan, and it also comes with a set of insect catching tutorials."

Li Shimin frowned, and continued to ask: "Then what you just said about making money...is it because of the locust acquisition point?"

"Haha, you're right." Mentioning this, the man smiled happily, "Ten cents a catty, isn't that picking up money? Now there's another plague of locusts, it's God giving us money. "

"Didn't you see that everyone is in a hurry to pick up money?"

After the words fell, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Liu Renyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, catch your locusts."

"Thank you guys."

The man quickly thanked him, turned around and joined the bug hunting team again.

Several princes also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Use locusts to make dishes to expand the demand for locusts; buy locusts at high prices to increase market prices;

Sell ​​insect catching tools, give away insect catching tutorials...

When a series of small things are connected together, everyone finally realizes the connection. This is simply unbelievable. There is no one before, and there will be no one after.

"Is that okay?" Li Shimin frowned, "Come on, let's follow and see."

Li Shimin got on his horse, rode the horse and raised its hooves, and rushed forward, but he still didn't believe in evil.

moment……

When everyone rushed to the field where the locust plague had occurred, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the insect nets, and the crowds of people.

The locusts all over the sky, under one net after another, decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone was watching in a daze, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong spent two ingots of silver, bought two insect nets, and joined the insect hunting team.

"Hahaha..." Cheng Yaojin jumped into the field, holding the insect net in his hand, dancing drippingly, "Damn locust, eat my net and leave you!"

Not to be outdone, Yu Chigong waved towards the flying locust swarm, "Eat me!"

The two had a great time playing in the field.

Although a large piece of fertile land was ruined, no one felt sorry for it.

The locusts flying all over the sky thought they could sweep the world and dominate Gyeonggi-do, but they didn't expect that they were chased by a group of people like headless flies, whining and flying around.

After about half an hour, the remaining handful of locusts finally reacted, turned around, and fled far away.

"Hurry up, the copper coins are flying away!"

Someone yelled, and everyone reacted and followed the fleeing locusts.

Li Shimin pointed in front of the people, whose faces were filled with excitement and joy, and asked in a daze: "This...is this a plague of locusts? Does it look like a disaster?"

This shit's causing disasters is almost the same.

Are locust swarms so fragile and vulnerable?

Chapter 589 You child, you can't live without money

Your Majesty, I should have said this a little too early. "

"From ancient times to the present, in which dynasty would the people run after the locust plague? Look at the happy faces of the people."

Changsun Wuji said happily as he looked at the people who left quickly, carrying a big bag and two sacks.

Even though Li Shimin didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Li Chengqian's operation was too coquettish.

How can any normal person come up with such an idea?

Eat up the plague of locusts?

Isn't this pure nonsense?

hum... hum...

A locust, in a panic, landed on Li Shimin.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, squeezed it in his hand and observed it carefully, then turned his head and said to everyone: "This stuff? Is it really as delicious as you say?"

After the words fell, several princes nodded again and again.

Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, you may not believe it, but can't you see the actions of these people?"

"If it wasn't delicious, would all the restaurants in Gyeonggi-do rush to buy it? If no one bought it, would the common people come to catch it spontaneously?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent.

Although Li Chengqian's move was somewhat heretical, but he admitted that he probably would not be able to come up with such an idea in his life.

for a moment...

The people who came to catch the locusts packed up and took away the caught locusts.

All that was left was a messy, trampled, unseemly field.

At the same time, Yu Shinan led the officials of the Ministry of Industry and came late.

"Wei Chen, see Your Majesty."

Yu Shinan saw Li Shimin from afar, and hurried over.

Li Shimin waved his hand with a complicated expression, "Excuse me."

Yu Shinan gasped and said, "Your Majesty, when I heard about the locust plague in the southern suburbs, I rushed over immediately, but along the way, I saw the people hurrying, and I didn't see a single locust."

After saying that, Li Shimin had a complex expression, and said helplessly: "Where is there any locust plague, the locusts have been caught by the people."

Yu Shinan was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?"
