People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

He stared intently at the locust.

Then he looked at Li Ming again, his face changed a little.

But after noticing Li Shimin's gaze, Li Ming naturally knew what Li Shimin was thinking.

After all, he was guaranteed to be able to control locusts back then.

Now something is wrong.

And there was a problem with Shaofu.

Li Shimin was obviously concentrating.

However, Li Ming was already prepared.

The moment Li Shimin cast his gaze, his words immediately opened.

"Father, locusts can only be suppressed, not eliminated."

"Now that the chickens and ducks have dispersed, the locusts should have been reduced, but it can only be reduced. This time, I came here to ask for the support of my father. I have a way to make the locusts disappear completely, at least not affect farming."

He spoke slowly, fully expressing the matter and his thoughts at this moment.

"Say!"

Li Shimin spoke in a low voice, but his smile had already disappeared.

This is not for Li Ming, but for the locusts.

Locusts have been a serious problem throughout the ages.

The appearance of locusts, as the emperor, how could he laugh.

"Father, my son suggests that from today onwards, the Shaofu will buy locusts from outsiders, ten coins per catty, unlimited purchases."

"Father, please temporarily allocate 300 million guan to my son!"

He opened his mouth, but the numbers he said were enough to shock the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Tobe Shangshu may even jump straight away.

You must know that such a large handwriting this time is only 800 million guan, and now Li Ming opened his mouth to 300 million guan, which is nearly half of it.

"Suspension call?"

But Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Ming, and spoke with a doubtful voice.

"Yes, for the time being, the 300 million crowns given by the father to the ministers for one year are enough to return them in double."

Li Ming spoke with an affirmative voice.

200 million is an astronomical value for others, but not for him.

As long as it is completed, let alone double, triple is not a problem.

"it is good!"

"I will order the Ministry of Household Affairs to fully support you, but I have said something beforehand, if the locusts flood, there is no need for you to be the young minister."

Looking deeply at Li Ming, Li Shimin nodded, and unexpectedly agreed directly at this moment.

Even if the 300 million guns are transferred, some of his original plans will be interrupted.

But in order to deal with the locust plague, Li Shimin couldn't take care of these anymore.

"Yes, Royal Father, I will definitely handle it well."

Li Ming was overjoyed. He really didn't expect his father to promise so readily. Although he earned all the money, the treasury, the money that went into the treasury, had nothing to do with him. 300 million, this is really An astronomical value.

Even if Li Shimin uses it, he must be extremely cautious.

But at this moment Li Shimin agreed.

I don't know whether to believe him, or if I am really urgent to solve the locust.

But no matter what, Li Shimin agreed.

And with these 300 million guan, it may be a bit difficult to solve the locust plague in the whole world, but it is already very easy to solve the locust plague in the entire Guanzhong area.

Even a new industry can kick off.

Chapter 65 Shaofu's New Acquisition - Under the Locusts

locust.

It can be said that Li Ming has been looking forward to the arrival of locusts before.

Compared with the transformation of other industries, locusts are undoubtedly the most important link that can give him a perfect industrial chain.

In the Tang Dynasty for more than 1000 years, there was not enough food production, and many things could not be developed. Even if he had a sacred book such as "Postpartum Care of Sows", its usefulness was limited.

But locusts can undoubtedly solve this problem.

For others, locusts may be a natural disaster, an unimaginable disaster, but for him, locusts are the representative of protein.

As long as there is no plague of locusts, locusts are innumerable meat, and the best quality meat.

The protein content of locusts is as high as 74.8%, while the protein content of common eggs is only 13%, which is much higher than that of eggs. It is a very good choice as a supplementary source of protein. Supplementing enough protein for the body can maintain cell growth, renewal and Repair, promote the growth and development of the human body, and enhance immunity. At the same time, the content of locust fat, carbohydrates, and cholesterol is relatively low. It is currently an ideal high-protein, low-fat healthy food.

Whether it is used as military rations or as livestock feed, locusts play an extremely important role.

And a locust plague, how many locusts are there.

Once it has an impact in later generations, the number of locusts is enough to reach more than 4000 billion. Even if it is a small locust plague, the number of locusts will definitely exceed billions.

The number of locusts per catty is only about ten or twenty.

How many pounds of meat is this.

Even thinking about it makes people feel excited.

As for how to get it.

There's nothing that money can't fix.

If you can't solve it, then you don't have enough money.

Li Ming, who has 300 million yuan in money and grain, is not panicking at all.

After meeting Li Shimin, his figure immediately returned to Shaofu and began to discuss.

Although considering the acquisition of locusts.

But how and how to buy the locusts is a question that needs to be considered.

The ten texts he said were just his temporary ideas, not the final solution.

So after returning to the Shaofu, Li Ming quickly found the Shaofu supervisor.

And listening to Li Ming's words.

The Shaofu Supervisor couldn't help opening his mouth wide again.

No matter how much he overestimated Li Ming, he still underestimated it now.

300 million guan, Li Ming actually opened his mouth and asked for it from the emperor.

That's 300 million guan, not [-] guan.

With this kind of money, even if he was well-informed for a while, he was stunned for a while.

It was not until a long time later that the Shaofu supervisor gradually came back to his senses, but his consciousness was still a little trance.

"The money has arrived, but His Majesty is fully responsible for the locust matter. If it can't be resolved, then this king, the young minister, is probably at the end of his life."

Li Ming shook his head, and spoke solemnly.

But hearing Li Ming's words, the Shaofu supervisor couldn't help but tremble, and then his expression became anxious.

joke.

Li Ming can't leave.

Now the Shaofu's finances are all supported by Li Ming.

If the entire court doesn't want Li Ming to leave the Shaofu at all, then there are only people in the Shaofu.

Compared with the original Shaofu, with the arrival of Li Ming, the whole Shaofu can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

This is true whether it is treatment or spirit.

The Shaofu has gradually risen from a dispensable existence.

The money and food in hand gradually increased.

All of this was undoubtedly brought about by Li Ming.

Once Li Ming left, everyone in the Shaofu didn't know whether their good days would continue in the future.

"Your Highness, this matter is feasible!"

"The next officer will send people there immediately."

"but!"

Shaofu Prison spoke quickly, but he couldn't help but hesitate when the voice reached the end.

"Say!"

"But how?"

Li Ming frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, is ten Wen a catty too expensive?"

"The lower official suggested that one penny per catty, otherwise the three million pennies would be unsustainable in Guanzhong."

The Shaofu Supervisor gritted his teeth, and still spoke.

How many locusts are there? The Chinese people who have enough understanding of locust plagues can naturally understand how terrifying the number of locust plagues can be.

300 million guan, if it is ten cash per catty, I am afraid it is really not enough.

Tens of millions, or even more.

"Isn't it enough?"

Hearing the words of the Shaofu Supervisor, Li Ming couldn't help being taken aback.

Ten coins per catty, 300 million guan is enough to buy 30 billion catties.

30 billion catties is not enough.

"That's right. From what I see now, the locust plague this time is a catastrophe. The number of locusts is probably innumerable for tens of millions."

The Shaofu supervisor nodded, and his expression also became dignified at this moment.

The locust plague has been reported, so the Shaofu supervisor naturally has to check it carefully.

But the result is extremely pessimistic, this time the locust plague is a catastrophe.

As for the locust plague, which is a catastrophic disaster, there are clear records in the history books, and the Shaofu Supervisor understands its horror even more.

"How about this, the Shaofu will still purchase from outside, but the locusts to be purchased will mainly be dried, at [-] cents per catty."

The words of the Shaofu supervisor came to his ears, Li Ming pondered, and then made a decision.

The purchase remains the same, but the locusts were originally purchased, but now they have to be dried.

Compared with the living body, the weight of dried locusts is undoubtedly lower. Although the price of a catty has increased to [-] yuan, after drying, a locust can already burn high incense if it has one-tenth of its weight , It can be said that the price has been lowered in disguise.

At the same time, the dried locusts can also save Shaofu a process.

There is no way to save live locusts.

The locusts that can be dried are enough to complete the storage.

Shaofu only needs to crush these locusts into powder, which can be said to be much more convenient.

"Dried?"

"Thirty Wen a catty?"

"His Highness Shengming!"

The Shaofu Supervisor was stunned for a moment, but then came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he spoke quickly.
