People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Otherwise, he would be the next Yang Guang.

However, it was relatively slow, and the road of more than ten kilometers was gradually formed in one and a half months.

Although there is dust on the road of equality, even if it rained yesterday, there is no mud on the official road. At the same time, the width of the road has reached three to four meters wide, which is almost the same as some rural roads in the previous life.

"Hurry up!"

"Such a little work, grind!"

Cheng Chuliang's loud words came to mind in the crowd.

After shouting, he slammed onto the sand next to him.

"Damn it, it's finally almost over."

"I'm exhausted!"

Cheng Chuliang cursed.

At this time, Qin Huaidao also came over.

"Brother Huaidao, you said we should be almost there!"

Seeing Qin Huaidao approaching, Cheng Chuliang hurriedly asked.

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

"See for yourself!"

Qin Huaidao was a little helpless, and then handed over an official document to Cheng Chuliang.

Cheng Chuliang felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously took the official document.

But seeing this, he was completely dumbfounded.

"This this!"

Cheng Chuliang opened his mouth wide.

"Go ahead, His Royal Highness King Wei obviously didn't intend to just let it go."

"This year, the two of us may really stay here to build roads."

Qin Huaidao felt a little helpless, even though he had expected it.

But he did not expect that after this road was repaired, there would be another order.

The command is simple.

And this time it is even more exaggerated, that is to build an official road from Chang'an to Luoyang.

It took them almost a month and a half to repair the fifteen kilometers.

How long does it take from Chang'an to Luoyang?

I'm afraid it's at least a year.

"Damn it, no, I'm going to find King Wei."

"I didn't come to build roads with him."

Cheng Chuliang finally couldn't bear it anymore, the figure cursed loudly, then got up and ran towards the center of Chang'an City.

Qin Huaidao hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

However, when they came to Shaofu.

But I can't even see anyone.

Because at this moment, Li Ming's figure had already arrived in the palace.

"Fourteen, your vegetables are pretty good, much better than those grown in my hot spring."

"how did you do it?"

Li Shimin recalled the previous green vegetables, and asked with some surprise.

"Your Majesty, this is what I have researched based on the records in the Han Shu. Planting vegetables in winter is expensive and cannot be popularized."

Li Ming spoke respectfully.

"Hanshu?"

"I do remember a little bit. It seems to be heated with firewood. This consumption is indeed quite a lot."

"Tell me, what's the purpose of your coming this time, if you want food, then don't open your mouth, I also want food now."

Li Shimin nodded, expressing his understanding, and then asked.

Words with a smile.

"Royal father, this time, the minister came here not to ask for food, but to ask the royal father to allow the minister to open a restaurant!"

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ming shook his head, and then responded solemnly.

"Restaurant?"

Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but didn't react for a while.

"Yes, Erchen wants to open a restaurant!"

Li Ming nodded with a definite answer.

How pork became popular in the previous life, of course it was Mr. Dongpo who made it popular. Since then, pork has gradually entered the stage of nobles.

He wants to elevate pork from base meat.

It's not that he said that it is enough for pigs not to eat shit now, but actual proof is needed.

And how to prove it.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, fried pork with chili, boiled pork slices, can these prove it?

As long as you eat these delicacies, I am afraid that no one will think that pork is inferior meat.

And these undoubtedly need a restaurant, a restaurant to display.

As for asking Li Shimin for instructions.

The reason is also very simple, he is a prince, so it feels a little unreasonable to run a restaurant.

If you don't talk to Li Shimin, maybe another censor will come to impeach him, and he doesn't have the heart to greet those censors.

"Is it a restaurant?"

"Okay, but you don't need to participate, there are no people in your house, just let them start it!"

Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Ming, pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you, Father!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although Li Shimin would definitely agree, he didn't expect to agree so readily. He had already thought up his rhetoric, but it turned out to be useless.

Chapter 69 Are locusts equal to food?

"The matter of the restaurant is not a big deal!"

"Nowadays, the locust plague is the most important thing. You can buy locusts. How do you deal with the locusts you can buy? And is your price too high on the [-]th? Now a stone of rice is only five or six hundred dollars!"

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin spoke again.

Li Ming's actions, as the emperor, Li Shimin naturally knew a thing or two.

Such a large-scale acquisition made him a little puzzled.

"Father, locusts are not a disaster, but wealth. They can be fed to chickens, ducks, pigs and other poultry, which is better than food."

"As for the price, it is only at this price for the initial purchase, because it needs to restrain the locusts from continuing to expand. When the locusts become adults, the price will drop."

After speaking, Li Ming explained slowly.

The current price of locusts is naturally high.

But now is the critical period for locusts to hatch, and the high point is not harmful.

The purpose is to restrain the expansion of locusts.

Once the locusts become adults, the price will naturally drop.

Anyway, he is the purchaser, and the price of the goods is completely determined by him, and there will be no problems at all in this feudal society.

"Better than food?"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Li Shimin was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, the value of father's locusts is actually very high. As long as there is no locust plague, it is not only non-toxic, but also can make livestock grow rapidly. The pigs, chickens and ducks that my son feeds grow much faster."

"And locusts can also be added to military rations, which can improve the health of soldiers."

Li Ming nodded.

This point, he is not talking nonsense, but during the period of feeding locusts, the growth rate of chickens, ducks, and pigs is indeed much faster.

"Is this true?"

Li Shimin stood up instantly, and then looked directly at Li Ming, with hope and disbelief.

As a horse emperor, he knew exactly what the army represented.

Locusts can actually improve the health of soldiers. In the ancient army, the better the health of the soldiers, the stronger the combat effectiveness. This alone was enough to make him unable to hold back.

"It's true!~"

"If father doesn't believe it, you can add some locust powder into the army ration."

"But the royal father will have to pay for it."

Li Ming answered with a smile.

In past lives, locusts were eaten in large quantities and have been used as food in many African, Middle Eastern and Asian countries.

Locusts are an excellent source of protein and contain a variety of fatty acids and minerals.Although considered by many to be unpalatable, locusts are an important food source in many other countries.

As for whether it is delicious or not, who cares in this era.

"it is good!"

"You prepare some immediately, and I will ask the Ministry of Accounts to buy some. If it works, you have made great contributions!"

Li Shimin nodded directly, even if Li Ming said that he needed to buy it, he didn't pay too much attention at this time.

If it is really possible to improve the body of the soldiers, no matter how much the price is spent, it will be enough.

"Father, you can rest assured that it must be possible."

"However, locusts are best used as staple food. The taste is too bad. They can be added to bean cakes and some other dry food for soldiers to eat."

Li Ming nodded with determination.

In this era when there is not enough protein supplementation, any protein supplementation is huge for soldiers' physical improvement, let alone locusts, which are high in protein.

Of course he can be sure.

"Haha, I didn't expect that locusts are still so useful!"

"Fourteen, you can buy it with all your strength. If you have any needs, you can tell me at any time, and I will definitely satisfy."

Li Shimin laughed.

Li Ming's affirmative words made him not have much doubt.

The huge role of locusts was also unexpected by Li Shimin.

He was still worried about how to deal with Li Ming's purchase of so many locusts.

If it can't be dealt with, it can only be destroyed at that time, then these millions of pens are really a waste of money.

These days it's literally turning waste into treasure.

Even at this moment, he thought of a key question.

That is why locusts can be eaten, so why can't they be used as food.

The taste is too bad.
