Chapter 719: One person shocks the audience

(3 more)

On the main hall.

All the courtiers fell silent again.

When Tang Feng said this, even if their hearts were full of disbelief, they had no choice but to believe it.

If it were someone else, maybe they would really brag as each other, but since Tang Feng said this, they couldn't help but not believe it.

Although Tang Feng is not very young, but no matter...

Whether on the battlefield or in the court, he has always been very stable.

This young man, who rose to prominence for a short time, is not the kind of... aimless person.

For the sake of this, if they say they are questioning again, that is just raising the bar.

The king of Tang sat there, looking at the courtiers who were lost in thought, with a smile on his face, somewhat smug.

After all, Tang Feng was excavated by himself and pulled up with one hand.

Strictly speaking, Tang Feng can be regarded as his half-disciple, besides, the relationship between Tang Feng and Chang Le made them have a deeper connection.

This time, when the Tang Dynasty was in crisis and everyone was at a loss what to do, this young man stood up and solved the problem. On the other hand, it was his insight.

"Your Majesty, if there are hundreds of thousands of shi of potatoes, then our Great Tang will be able to survive this locust plague safely."

Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, looked at King Tang, and said firmly.

"The problem of disaster relief can be solved, but how should we deal with the rumors outside? These days, the rumors have become more and more serious, and the prestige of the imperial court has been greatly affected."

Fang Xuanling frowned and said.

Right now, the locust plague is one aspect, and the gossip caused by the locust plague is even more of a headache for these bigwigs.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

The importance of people's hearts to a country is self-evident.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, everyone's brows that were stretched out were frowned again.

This is a difficult problem.

Even if the imperial court distributed relief food, locusts invaded and the vast crops were destroyed. This is an indisputable fact, and this cannot be changed.

"Right now, the top priority is disaster relief first. As long as the people are calmed down, the black hands behind the scenes will be found out, and the rumors will gradually die down."

Chen Shuda pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

Indeed, as long as the relief food is distributed to fill the stomachs of the low-level people, no matter how widespread the rumors are, at least it will not cause civil uprisings.

What the people want is nothing more than food and clothing. As for who will be the emperor, they don't care much.

As long as the country is safe and peaceful, the lost prestige can always be slowly regained.

"Your Majesty, regarding the locust plague, I have a plan."

Tang Wang looked at the worried civil servants beside him, turned his eyes to Tang Tang at the top, and said.

"Oh, what can you do, boy?"

King Tang, who was in deep thought, immediately cheered up when he heard Tang Feng.

"Your Majesty, gods have been born since ancient times, and visions have descended freely from the sky. It should not be an exaggeration to say that these potatoes are gods."

Tang Feng talked eloquently.

Extraordinary things require extraordinary measures.

If this potato is placed in later generations, it is because of the characteristics of the variety and the fact that it does not have too many requirements for the growing environment, so it can produce a large amount.

However, in this era of backward technology, how can crops that yield tens of stones per mu be treated as follows: take it lightly.

"This potato is indeed a fetish, but when a fetish is born, there will be disasters from heaven"

Fang Xuanling looked at Tang Feng, nodded first, and then asked.

"Man eats all kinds of grain to fill his body, and the locust

Isn't it normal to eat? Besides, locusts eat five grains and then nourish the human body, so how can it be considered a disaster?"

As a last resort, Tang Feng could only find another way.

"What is the explanation for the saying that locusts nourish the human body?"

Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled, and asked again.

At the same time, all the courtiers, including Tang Wang Li Er at the top, all set their eyes on Tang Feng.

It was also the first time they heard such words.

"Locusts are an excellent delicacy. Not only are they delicious and nutritious, but they also have extremely high medicinal value. They can invigorate the spleen and stomach, and relieve cough and asthma."

Tang Feng continued to talk eloquently.

"Once upon a time, when the minister was in the countryside, whenever there was not enough food, the locusts would eat up the number of locusts."

Although these words are somewhat exaggerated, as a person of later generations, he knows that in many places, locusts have become dishes on the table.

"Isn't this locust the number one pest in the world?"

Fang Xuanling had some doubts about his own cognition.

"Liang Guogong is above the court, so he has never experienced it before, but this locust is definitely not what you imagined."

Tang Feng admired his ability to speak eloquently.

In the hall, everyone stopped talking.

There is no way, what Tang Feng said has completely touched their blind spot of knowledge, how to answer this.

"Bastard, this locust is really what you said, not only can it be eaten, but it also has various functions."

Tang Wang Li Er asked hopefully.

Whether locusts can be eaten, he does not know.

But if what Tang Feng said is true, then the rumors outside will be self-defeating.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true. Before I came, I had already prepared a plate of locust meal. Please give me your Majesty's lesson."

Following Tang Feng's words, not long after, a servant from the Marquis' Mansion walked in with a plate of locusts outside the palace gate.

These... locusts were naturally caught by the guards on the way back to Chang'an.

Along the way, listening to the rumors circulating everywhere, Tang Feng knew that disaster relief is very important, and solving these rumors is also very important.

Therefore, on the way to Daming Palace, Zhao Ping and others were asked to go back to the mansion, and according to his instructions, they made such a big meal of locusts.

The lid was lifted, and for a while, the hall was filled with fragrance.

Gudong.

Smelling the strong fragrance, someone swallowed involuntarily, but when they saw the locusts above, they hesitated again.

"Your Majesty, please taste it."

Tang Feng looked at King Tang at the top, and said with a smile.

He knows that if this thing is to come true, then Li Er, as the king, must bear the brunt and try the law by himself.

Looking at the locust in front of him, Tang Wang Li Er hesitated for a moment, his gaze became firm.

He wasn't the kind of...indecisive king.

If this locust is really what Tang Feng said, why not try to solve the rumors by yourself.

Chapter 720: The man recorded in history

All the courtiers in the hall looked at Tang Wang Li Er holding a stir-fried locust in his hand at the top, and there was a strange expression on everyone's face.

Although it smelled delicious, after all, none of them had eaten such a thing.

This is something that subverts their cognition.

Li Er, king of the Tang Dynasty, was cruel. He was a high-ranking king with millions of lions in his hands. How could a mere worm scare him.

Close your eyes, stuff the fried locust into your mouth.

Crackling... Tang Wang Li Er opened his eyes, full of astonishment.

Fragrant, crisp and delicious.

He is used to eating all kinds of delicacies, and this stir-fried locust gave him a different experience.

With one bite, Li Er seems to have just tasted the sweetness.

One after another, four or five in a row, 45 was swallowed, with an expression of enjoyment.

Afterwards, Li Er looked down, and when he looked at Tang Feng, he was full of approval.

What Tang Feng said is true, this locust is not only the world's number one pest, but also an excellent delicacy, as long as this matter is spread, there is room for rumors to turn around.

Not to mention, there is such a miraculous crop as potatoes, when the time comes, the so-called heavenly punishment will be... a joke.

Gods are born, visions descend from the sky.

This is obviously the treatment that the emperor will have.

"Tang Feng is right, this locust is indeed a delicacy, and all the ministers have to taste it."

Tang Wang Li Er is definitely a good king, such a good thing, everyone should share it together.

All the important court officials looked at the locusts that Rong De brought in front of them, and the expressions on their faces were amazing.

Although Tang Wang and Li Er had an expression of enjoyment, this kind of thing, after all, was contrary to their cognition. Thinking of this terrifying thing entering their stomachs, everyone was obedient and unwilling to reach out.

After a moment of hesitation, Changsun Wuji was the first to extend his hand.

As a king, Li Er ate several times in a row. As a subject, if he pushes back and forth again, it will naturally be unreasonable.

What's more, he is very clear that this is related to cracking rumors, and it is a major matter for the court.

With eyes closed and mouth opened, a locust swallowed it forcefully.

But soon, the furrowed brow eased away.

Using both hands together, grabbed two again.

"Really, this old bastard is not just putting on a show."

Someone was thinking silently.

Those who can be summoned here by Tang Wang Li Er are all big shots in the court. These people have empty hair, and they will not be so immediately.

The identification was contrary to his own cognition. However, when he regained his composure, he found that everyone beside him was holding a few and eating with relish.

Seeing this, he turned his eyes to the only one left on the plate, and prepared to take it with his hands, and also wanted to verify it with his own hands.

However, before reaching out his hand, Changsun Wuji who was in front of him had his beard cut off.

"Master grandson..."

People speak.

Changsun Wuji glanced at it, and didn't understand what it meant, so he ignored it, and stuffed the locust in his hand into his mouth.

Only messy eyes remain.

Tang Feng stood there, looking at this group of powerful bigwigs, he couldn't help being speechless.

He made this stir-fried locust just to solve the rumors outside, but he didn't expect that it would lead to the scene in front of him.

However, it works.

The king of Tang, Li Er, and the big bosses in the court have all approved this matter, so it is very easy to promote it to the people below.

"You bastard, when the court survives this catastrophe, you will take the greatest credit.

"

Tang Wang Li Er spoke.

As the words fell, all the important officials in the hall returned to their well-dressed appearances and nodded in agreement.
