Famous and beautiful Tang Dynasty

"Haha...haha...don't be afraid, baby, my old Cheng will take good care of you." After speaking, Cheng Yaojin put the last locust into his mouth in one gulp under the dumbfounded eyes of everyone. .

Immediately, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, the really angry General Yuchi was furious.

If it weren't for the ten years of friendship, the raging fire in General Yuchi's heart would definitely explode like a small universe...

A war of the century is definitely inevitable...

"Old Cheng, you are not righteous..."

General Yuchi pulled his big black face in displeasure and opened his mouth to attack.

"Old Hei, it's all for disaster relief, and I'm also for your health. Let's see what you look like after eating it. If you go to fight on the battlefield in the future, you will be so fat, how can you fight with others? "

The old god Cheng Yaojin persuaded him with kind words, his expression and appearance of being merciful and merciful to all sentient beings actually made Yuchi Jingde so angry that he couldn't bear the slightest bit of anger, it must be said that it was a small miracle .

His Majesty Li Er, with a red face, led the civil and military officials who were still unsatisfied to leave the Four Seasons Restaurant. At this time, the people in Chang'an City were already moved by the news.

When the common people knew that Tianzi also came to the Four Seasons Restaurant to eat locusts, their confidence in catching and killing locusts became even hotter.

In particular, the Four Seasons Restaurant also offered a very exciting price, which was a bit higher than the current price of grain.

The news that His Majesty Li Er came to the Four Seasons Restaurant to eat locusts in person, and gave a plaque to the Four Seasons Restaurant, spread like wind throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

While praising His Majesty Li Er's great spirit of fighting locust plagues, people also aroused their hatred for locusts, so they took the initiative to join the army of crusade against locusts.

A situation was born that His Majesty Li Er and all civil and military officials liked to hear...

A situation was born that showed that the people of the Tang Dynasty were united as one and united as one.

In the fields, by the ponds, by the ravines...

Adults, children, men and women, old and young, all took up their weapons and joined the frontline team fighting against the locust plague.

The voice of "let go of that grasshopper, let me come..." keeps coming and going in various places...

Chapter 97 achieved a comprehensive victory in the fight against locust plagues

Because of the positive influence of His Majesty Li Er leading civil and military officials to come to Four Seasons Restaurant early in the morning to eat locusts.

Coupled with the blessing of the halo of glory of the plaque bestowed by His Majesty.

Today, the sale of locusts in Four Seasons Restaurant has reached a shocking level.

The people responded to His Majesty Li Er's call and vowed to fight the locusts to the end.

People are all proud of being able to chew locusts, and ashamed of not being able to eat locusts.

Under the guidance of such thoughts, the locusts are now in an extremely difficult situation. They don't have to wait until after autumn, and they won't be able to hop for a few days.

The cart pulled by Liu Peng himself was sold out in less than an hour after His Majesty Li Er and the officials left.

Fortunately, according to Lin Ran's instructions, Hou San transported locusts in three carriages to the Four Seasons Restaurant one after another. Rao looked at the long queue outside.

Liu Peng also knew that today was still a huge challenge. Fortunately, people in the vicinity began to sell the captured locusts to the restaurant one after another, which relieved Liu Peng's nervous heart.

The locusts in Linjia Village have been completely wiped out by enthusiastic villagers and soldiers.

This became the first piece of pure land in Wannian County, the hardest-hit area.

Occasionally, a few locusts flying from other places were swarmed by hungry, wolf-like villagers before they even landed. The chance to stand up.

So Lin Ran organized the villagers to attack nearby villages, such as Mengjia Village.Few people in the entire Mengjia Village were catching locusts. It wasn't that they didn't want to make money, but that most of the people in their village were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they had to leave someone to take care of them. Locust siege!

As for the reason why most of the Mengjia villages are old, weak, sick and disabled, it is because they are all wounded and retired from a previous military camp. Although the village is called Mengjia village, there are only three families with the surname Meng.

Even these three families are the largest surnames in Mengjia Village, which shows how complicated and diverse the population of Mengjia Village is.

The villagers of Linjia Village spontaneously came to Mengjia Village to help catch locusts, which moved the villagers of Mengjia Village very much.

Old man Meng found Lin Ran specifically, and said with a solemn salute.

"Mr. Lin's father has treated my old man Meng for free for many years. Now Mr. Lin leads the villagers to help my Mengjia Village eliminate the locust plague. The great kindness will never be forgotten!"

"The old man is serious, it's all for life. This locust plague is so serious. If it is not eliminated in time, it will definitely come back next year. Even if there is no locust in our Linjia Village, as long as there are nearby villages, it will affect us all in the coming year. , so when we help you, we are actually helping ourselves.”

Lin Ran answered truthfully.

"Good boy, what a good boy, a good boy with a big heart..."

Old man Meng said with trembling lips.

The villagers of Linjia Village are now more affectionate when they see locusts than their relatives. The amount of money they have harvested in the past few days has far exceeded the amount they could never have imagined in their dreams.

They are the happiest when they hand in the money to the locusts at dusk every day.

Working with such a small village head, they know that building a new house and marrying a new wife, which were originally unattainable for them, now become so natural, simple and natural.

His Majesty Li Er is in a very happy mood recently.

"Guanyin maidservant, you don't know that when I was eating locusts at the Four Seasons restaurant, the ministers looked at me in shock! The prime minister is indeed a man of great talent, and I am afraid of what I said. I was moved. If you come to eat the crops of my people, I will come to eat you..."

In the Lizheng Hall, His Majesty Li Er was happily and excitedly talking to Empress Changsun.

"Speaking of which, the concubine thinks that Young Master Xiaolin of Lin Family Village is the one who deserves the most credit. If he hadn't let the Four Seasons Restaurant sell the fried locusts and bought the locusts at a high price, thus arousing the enthusiasm of the people to catch the locusts, this locust plague would not have Do you know when it will pass?"

Empress Changsun said with emotion.

"What the Guanyin servant girl said is true, but this young man has clearly told Changle that he will no longer accept the imperial court's rewards before the next year's exam. Because I am too young, I also think it is not unreasonable. He saved me from danger many times, I really should take the time to see him."

After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, Miracle Doctor Sun has returned to the palace and is waiting outside the palace."

Director Huang's voice sounded outside the hall, and he began to play softly.

"Hurry up and announce that Miracle Doctor Sun has an audience..."

His Majesty Li Er said happily.

"Old minister, Sun Simiao sees Your Majesty and Empress."

An old man with white hair and childlike face walked slowly into the Lizheng Hall and said respectfully.

"Miraculous Doctor Sun, excuse me. Give Miracle Doctor Sun a seat."

His Majesty Li Er immediately gave orders.

In the entire court hall, His Majesty Li Er can give no more than two palms to sit on, and Sun Simiao is one of them, which shows the importance of Sun Simiao in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat..."

Sun Simiao sat comfortably on the stool, just below His Majesty Li Er.

"Master Sun, according to Aiqing, how long will it take for this locust plague to be completely eradicated? Besides, I heard that eating more locusts is good for the body. For those who are confused, Dr. Sun will give me a good explanation today."

His Majesty Li Er watched Sun Simiao and asked, his tone full of anticipation and excitement.

"Your Majesty, the veteran came all the way, and everywhere he passed, people were struggling to catch locusts. This surprised the veteran! According to folklore, your Majesty led all the civil and military officials in Chang'an City to eat and swallow locusts alive. Eat the crops of the people, and I will eat your golden words. The people have been greatly moved! Some temples of locusts have been demolished by the villagers, which shows that His Majesty's move has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This time we have undoubtedly won the battle against the locust plague. a comprehensive victory."

"Miraculous Doctor Sun, in fact, what I ate were fried locusts, which were delicious."

His Majesty Li Er smiled awkwardly, interrupted Sun Simiao, and explained.

Unexpectedly, the folklore has become that he eats locusts alive, which shows how powerful the rumors are!

"Oh, if your Majesty eats cooked food, these locusts are really good for the body. Not only can locusts be used as medicine, but they are also rich in various essential nutrients for the human body. I think it is much better than the various tonics in the palace." , even worse than that.”

Sun Simiao responded truthfully.

Chapter 98 At that time, Her Royal Highness and I were terrified

"Oh, so, eating more locusts is really good for the body?"

After His Majesty Li Er received Sun Simiao's affirmative reply, a stone in his heart was finally placed in his heart.

Although His Majesty Li Er's eating fried locusts is indeed delicious, but is it really beneficial to the body?He has always maintained a dubious attitude.

Now, after receiving the affirmative reply from Sun Simiao, a generation of genius doctor, His Majesty Li Er is in a very beautiful mood.

"Your Majesty, you can eat it with confidence. This product has unexpected effects on the conditioning of the human body and is very beneficial."

Sun Simiao answered in a very affirmative tone.

The benefits that fried locusts brought to Lin Ran were unexpected. Every day after Hou San transported a carriage of locusts to Four Seasons Restaurant, he would definitely bring back a carriage full of money.

There are gold cakes, silver cakes, and more copper coins.

The two potatoes that Princess Changle brought back began to show signs of sprouting after she placed them in a cool and humid place for ten days according to Lin Ran's statement.

The little girl looked at the sprouting green shoots, feeling as excited as a child.

Quickly called Cuizhu, and went to the internal servant to get some wooden barrels.

After Miss Cuizhu brought the wooden barrel over, the two of them hurriedly planted potatoes.

"Sister Huang, what are you doing? You're sweating profusely, and your clothes are still dirty."

Prince Li Chengqian happened to pass by, saw this scene and couldn't help but walked in curiously, and asked.

"Brother Huang, Changle and Green Bamboo are planting a rare food."

Princess Changle responded with a pair of beautiful big eyes, pouting her mouth.

"Rare food? Brother Huang, have you ever heard of or seen it?"

"Since Chang Le said that it is a rare food, of course the emperor has never heard of it or seen it, otherwise why is it so rare?"

Princess Changle replied happily, her eyes were full of pride, she is the only potato in the entire Tang Dynasty except Linjiacun.

"Changle, how about letting Brother Huang see it?" Li Chengqian's curiosity greatly increased when he heard this. After all, he was only a young man less than ten years old, and he was the most curious age.

"Of course you can, who told you to be the emperor's brother in Changle? Come on, Cuizhu and I have already planted one, and there is the last potato, let the emperor's brother do it for you."

Princess Changle reached out to wipe the sweat off her face with a muddy hand, and said.

The muddy hands wiped her flowery little face, making it even more special.

The prince and Miss Cuizhu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Only then did Changle realize that his face was covered with mud, so he giggled and went to wash his face.

"Brother Huang, have you noticed any difference in this food?"

Chang Le returned after washing his little face, and found Prince Li Chengqian staring at the potatoes in his hand in a daze, and asked.

"Changle, are you sure this is a kind of food? It weighs so much, how can it end up on the branches?"

Li Chengqian opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and responded.

"Cui Zhu, come and explain to Brother Huang what's going on, this princess is very thirsty."

Princess Changle smiled and said mischievously.

"Your Highness, this kind of food is called potatoes, and it is a kind of food that grows under the ground, so there is no phenomenon of bending branches as His Highness said, and the output of this food is extremely scary. At that time, Her Royal Highness and I both Terrified..."

Princess Changle couldn't help but burst out laughing at the words of Maid Cuizhu.

But it made His Royal Highness the crown prince feel as if he was in the fog.

It took a long time for Prince Li Chengqian to come back to his senses, and asked. "Could it be that the output was so beyond imagination that you and Changle were frightened on the spot?"

"His Royal Highness is wise, this species can actually reach the point where the yield per mu is [-] jin, it is really inconceivable and appalling..."

"Cuizhu, in the palace, don't talk nonsense, Changle, take care of your girl's mouth in the future, otherwise the prince will get angry."

Prince Li Chengqian was so angry that he wanted to walk away.

"Hey, Brother Huang, it's your fault. Why do you say that my maid, Cui Zhu, is talking nonsense? This princess will be angry if you slander this princess' maid like this."

Princess Changle opened her arms and blocked the way of Prince Li Chengqian.

A pair of beautiful big eyes are now watery and full of grievances, and there will be a downpour at any time...

"Changle, do you still want to protect Cuizhu? My father taught us to be honest children since we were young, but now Cuizhu actually said that there are ten thousand catties of food per mu, which is simply ridiculous. Changle, I don't care about this matter with her, I will let my brother go, and I will let this matter go, otherwise my brother will definitely go to the father to see you and Cuizhu, lying is not a good boy."

Li Chengqian said with a solemn face.There is a kind of righteous indignation and the appearance of killing relatives righteously.

"Emperor Brother, as His Royal Highness, you should set an example. When you see the food produced per mu, you should be happy for your father and the people of the Tang Dynasty, but you blindly accuse Cui Zhu of lying, Indiscriminately labeling Cuizhu as a liar, Brother Huang, you are going too far, Changle is going to report to the Emperor and the Empress. Let the Emperor and the Empress uphold justice."

Princess Changle said with tears in her eyes, anyone who saw that expression would feel distressed...

"Why don't Chengqian apologize to Changle quickly?"

A voice sounded behind them.
