"Master Yu, let me tell you."
Cheng Yaojin hurried forward and told him what happened just now.
After listening, Yu Shinan's eyes obviously froze, and he said with a smile: "General Cheng, don't you want to joke with me, how is this possible?"
"Although I am not talented, locust plagues have been the most serious disaster throughout the ages. The land they caused was thousands of miles away, starvation was everywhere, and the people were destitute. There is no reason for the people to be caught."
"Tsk..." Cheng Yaojin said helplessly, "I can still lie to you, if you don't believe me, ask Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty?" Yu Shinan stepped forward and called softly.
Li Shimin turned to look at him, frowning, "Zhijie is right, the locusts were indeed caught by the people."
"Don't say you don't believe it, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either."
"The people carried the insect nets and ran after the locust swarm like crazy. The locusts that covered the sky were caught by the people in a short time, and they were packed away."
Yu Shinan: "This..."
"Auxiliary machine."
"Wei Chen is here."
"You should inform Liu Zhenghui and let him do a good job in the aftermath. Those whose fields are trampled because of catching locusts will be borne by the court."
"The minister leads the order."
Li Shimin got on his horse and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to Chang'an, let's go to Zuixianlou for dinner together."
He almost fell into Li Chengqian's way again.
If he hadn't come to the scene to take a look in person, he might be beaten back again.
Chang'an City...
Drunken House...
Li Shimin invited all the princes to a banquet. Most importantly, he also wanted to have a taste of the locusts.
How could this thing be passed on as miraculous.
After taking his seat, Li Shimin said to the old eunuch beside him: "Chen Lin, go and call Chengqian, and say that I am waiting for him here."
Chen Lin replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"What do you think about today's matter, let's talk about it..."
Before the food was served, Li Shimin picked up the wine cup and took a drink.
Although Li Chengqian did a good job in today's matter, but this kid is really not a joke, so he didn't tell him in advance.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Zhijie, tell me." Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin who drank three bowls of wine in a row and asked.
"Ah?" Cheng Yaojingang was about to pick up the fourth bowl of wine, but put it down helplessly, "This... I don't know what to say."
"I... I'm afraid that if I talk too much, it will upset your majesty..."
Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said, "But it's okay to say, I forgive you for your innocence."
"Then I can talk about it." Cheng Yaojin chuckled, "Your Highness, you are really good at predicting things."
"Although I don't know much about it, being able to predict the locust plague in Gyeonggi-do in advance is not what ordinary people can predict."
"Moreover... and the trick His Highness thought of is also very miraculous. The people spontaneously caught the locusts without the intervention of the court."
"I really admire His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Let me tell you, Prince..."
Cheng Yaojin said, eyes full of respect.
Li Shimin looked at him like this, and felt so angry: When your mother praised me, you didn't try so hard, you praised me so hard.
Li Shimin interrupted hurriedly with a wave of his hand, "Okay, okay...I want you to talk about this matter, you are about to lift the crown prince to the sky."
At the same time, one dish after another was served.
Everyone looked at a table of dishes and moved their index fingers. They ran around, they were already hungry.
"Let's eat first."
Li Shimin said lightly, to be honest, he was also a little hungry.
Everyone just picked up their chopsticks.
creak...
Li Chengqian pushed the door and left, looking at the dusty crowd, with a slight smile on his face.
When they left the city, Li Chengqian already knew about it.
"My son, see the royal father."
Everyone also got up hastily, "Weichen (last general), please refer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Shimin waved his hand, "Okay, let's all be excused, sit down and eat."
He picked up a bunch of locust meat skewers that were golden in color and had been processed very quickly, and rolled them up.
This meat skewer only removes a little bit of meat from the locust, so it tastes extremely delicious without any earthy smell.
Take a bite.
It shocked Li Shimin's taste buds.
He didn't expect that this thing could really be eaten, and it was so delicious.
Li Shimin ate three skewers in a row, drank the drunken fairy wine, and his complexion eased a lot.
"Chengqian, aren't you taking the meat next to me to deceive me? Is this locust meat?"
Li Shimin picked up another string, observed it carefully, and asked Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was neither impatient nor impetuous, and said calmly: "Is that necessary, my son?"
Li Shimin asked again: "How did you know that there was going to be a locust plague in Gyeonggi Province, and how did you think of using this method to eliminate the locust plague?"
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "What? Father wants to pay his son some wages?"
"Tsk, you kid, you can't do without money. Look at what you've done in Zuixianlou. Does it look like you're short of money? If I don't borrow money from you, then it's not bad."
Li Shimin looked at him and said in a deep voice.
Chapter 590 Great Tang Dynasty, Nuo Da's imperial court, can it be that all the things are pointed at the prince alone?
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's appearance, smiled lightly, and then said: "I am not a god, how could I predict the locust plague in Gyeonggi Province, it's just a gamble to plan ahead."
"If you make the right bet, the problem of locust plague will be solved easily. If you make a wrong bet, your minister will not lose anything. Why not do it."
"However, the result is good. The locust plague is hardly a threat to Gyeonggi Province. Next, we only need to solve the drought."
After the words fell, everyone couldn't help feeling admiration for Li Chengqian.
Using the simplest means to solve the biggest disaster, he said it was so insignificant.
If this is placed on someone else, it will be a feat that will go down in history.
But Li Chengqian didn't ask for a title or reward, so he just smiled lightly.There was no intention of showing off at all.
Li Shimin looked at his big son with a look of relief.
Li Chengqian's character is Li Shimin's favorite.
No matter what great achievements he has made, he will never rely on his talents to be arrogant, and he will never take credit for himself.
This is often difficult for most people to do.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Chengqian is right. Now that the locust plague is over, we should start to deal with the drought."
"However, I will remember your contribution, and when the drought passes, I will reward you together."
Although it is Li Chengqian's character not to be rewarded, but if he is not rewarded for meritorious service, it is his dereliction of duty as a father and emperor.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin turned his head and said: "Yu Shinan, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, how to deal with the drought, tell me your opinion."
"This..." Yu Shinan was in trouble.
Facing the drought, he really had no idea, after all, it was a matter of whether God rewarded him or not.
He is not a dragon king, nor does he know how to spread clouds and rain.
"What? You have nothing to do?" Li Shimin frowned and said displeasedly, "Chengqian has already helped you find a way to solve the locust plague problem, and you can't do nothing about the drought problem."
Yu Shinan panicked, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent. This minister is really..."
In fact, he can't be blamed for this matter, according to many factors such as low productivity and inconvenient transportation in ancient times.
The ability of the ancients to deal with disasters was already very low.
Most of them can be left to the victims to fend for themselves. It is already a good thing that the relief money and food can not be corrupted.
Moreover, Yu Shinan had just been appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he was not that proficient in business.
Li Shimin knew that he could not solve this matter alone, so he didn't really blame him.
Seeing Yu Shinan hesitating, he turned his head to the other princes, "What about you? Have you thought of any good moves?"
"Great Tang, Nuo Da's imperial court, can it be that all the problems are pointed at the prince alone?"
"You just take the imperial salary with peace of mind and watch the crown prince solve problems for you one by one?"
At this time, Li Shimin was no longer angry with Li Chengqian.
Pointing the finger at the dinner table, several other princes.
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin retracted the chopsticks that were about to pick up the food. If he ate heartlessly again, he might be scolded by Li Shimin.
Yu Chigong also hurriedly pretended to be honest, talking about these government affairs issues, these military generals usually consciously become an atmosphere group.
Except for calling 666 on the sidelines, I generally don't do anything else.
Liu Zhenghui spoke first, broke the silence, and said sadly: "In the past few days, the price of food in Gyeonggi Province has gradually increased. The people can accept a small price increase. If it goes up again..."
As he spoke, his words were full of helplessness.
Hearing this, Li Shimin became even more angry, and said angrily: "I asked you to solve the problem, not to ask you to ask the question."
"In such a severe drought, it's no wonder that food prices don't go up!"
Snapped!
Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, and continued: "What I want is action! Action!"
"Food prices have risen, what are you doing, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and what measures have you taken to stabilize food prices in Gyeonggi-do and stabilize the normal life of the people!"
Liu Zhenghui was scolded by Li Shimin, and a grievance appeared on his face.
If you don't speak, you will be scolded, why do you still get scolded for speaking...
Li Chengqian looked at his cheap father's posture, as if the boss was furious and scolded at a company meeting.
"In my opinion, we should prepare for the worst." Li Chengqian interjected, saving Liu Zhenghui.
At this time, it is time for him to perform a wave of real skills.
After hearing this, the princes of the state felt their cheeks were hot, and they were really ashamed and panicked.
They were still thinking, but Li Chengqian had already started to make up his mind. As soon as Li Chengqian opened his mouth, they would probably announce that it was over.
Unexpectedly, when the time comes, Li Chengqian will have to make suggestions.
Li Shimin glanced at the crowd, his face darkened, and he was furious.
Then he looked at Li Chengqian and said softly: "Chengqian, then tell me what you think."
At this moment, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with kindness again.
At this critical moment, he had to rely on his elder brother.
Although she was always angry with him on weekdays, something was true.
Can withstand critical moments.
Li Chengqian said slowly: "We want to stabilize the grain price in Gyeonggi Province. Although there have been occasional disasters in Datang in recent years, the overall grain reserves are still sufficient. Large granaries, stable grain prices."
