Chapter 290 A little unwilling
Li Shimin didn't expect that Zhao Chen would not even let him go.
This is obviously to force him, Li Shimin, to eat this locust powder together.
The emperor took the lead in eating the locust powder. Can the officials in the court watch helplessly?
All officials have taken locust powder, so how can those famous families not take it?
Since all the prominent clans have taken it, the people in the world...
Li Shimin instantly figured out Zhao Chen's method.
The entire Tang Dynasty began to eat these locusts, and the locust plague would naturally be eliminated.
But in this vague way, he always felt that he was fooled by Zhao Chen!
...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
When he returned to the palace, Li Shimin went to Lizheng Hall.
The worry on his face is lingering.
Empress Changsun was thinking about what gifts to prepare for Zhao Chen's marriage.
Seeing that the emperor came in a little unhappy, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Shimin lay down on the soft couch, looking weakly at the murals of the palace.
He also did not talk to Empress Changsun.
This made Empress Changsun very anxious.
I thought to myself, is there any way to go to Zhao Chen?
Empress Changsun was anxious and asked someone to come to the imperial doctor to see if the emperor felt uncomfortable.
But there are still no diseases.
Empress Changsun felt a little panicked now.
Why did the emperor stop talking when he left the palace?
"Guanyin maid, I plan to eat locusts, what do you think!" Li Shimin suddenly spoke and looked at Empress Changsun.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? Why do you think about eating that kind of thing?" Queen Changsun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but asked curiously.
Locusts are plagues and things that everyone avoids.
Why did the emperor think about eating locusts?
Could it be that Zhao Chen and His Majesty said something?
Li Shimin waved his hand, got up from the soft couch, and paced back and forth on the carpet.
Empress Changsun looked at the emperor.
This was the first time she had seen the emperor in such a difficult situation.
"Guanyin maid, today Zhao Chen told me that I want me to eat locusts in front of all the civil and military officials in the court!" Li Shimin said with a wry smile.
"He said that only in this way can the locust crisis be resolved!" Li Shimin said again, explaining directly to Empress Changsun.
"How could Zhao Chen come up with such a solution?"
"There is no other way?" Empress Changsun said with some concern.
But I probably understood why the emperor had not spoken just now.
Locusts have been disaster insects since ancient times.
Everyone wants to kill all of these things directly.
Who would think of eating these things?
Suddenly, when he heard that he was going to eat this, Empress Changsun herself was also surprised.
I have never heard of anyone eating locusts.
"I will not agree to this matter if there is any other way!" Li Shimin shook his head with a embarrassed look.
He felt uncomfortable when he thought of eating such disgusting things.
Li Shimin didn't want to agree to this matter, but he couldn't agree to anything.
You can't watch the locust plague sweeping over his Tang Dynasty fields.
Li Shimin had long planned to distribute the rice seeds with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu in Wannian County as soon as the spring begins next year.
For rice cultivation next year.
As long as you plant this for a year or two, there will be no shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Such a major event that concerns the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin cannot let this locust plague be ruined.
"Guanyin maid, you would never have imagined that Zhao Chen's shamelessness. You know, that boy asked me to help him eat locusts and make a lot of money secretly, which is simply outrageous."
"But I am magnanimous, so I won't care about him." Li Shimin waved his hand, and seemed to be more excited than before.
Empress Changsun was really confused this time.
How could Zhao Chen make money for himself by eating locusts?
"That boy said that locusts are delicious, and he also asked me to call on all the soldiers, civilians and officials of the Tang Dynasty to participate in this vigorous locust catch."
"Then I said it was a penny and two kilograms and sold the locusts to him." Li Shimin smiled.
Zhao Chen had previously said that he wanted to acquire locusts, but he was really shocked.
However, when he heard that locusts could also be used as medicine, Li Shimin felt a little relieved.
It can turn disasters such as locusts into useful things.
If it were someone else, I really wouldn't have thought of this.
Zhao Chen has real skills.
Li Shimin thought so in his heart.
Empress Changsun was becoming more and more curious.
Zhao Chen has made a lot of money in recent months.
But this is limited after all.
What is the reason for spending money to acquire the locust like this?
Empress Changsun knew that Zhao Chen would not do a loss-making business.
If so, wouldn’t I be able to add a shot, so that I can increase the income of the treasury, right?
Thinking of this, Empress Changsun had the idea of doing business with Zhao Chen for the first time.
Although the businessman has a low status, the huge amount of money in his hand is really enviable.
"Your Majesty, why don't you give me some money? I will work with Zhao Chen to do this to acquire locusts. However, I can't subsidize some household income." Empress Changsun smiled and said a suggestion that surprised Li Shimin.
It would be fine if Zhao Chen went to do business, after all, his identity has not been announced yet. He is young and no one can say anything.
But Empress Changsun, this is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, how could she do such a thing?
Li Shimin's first reaction was to refuse.
But he has been silent all year round because of his empty wallets.
...
The emperor left the tavern.
Before Uncle Fu came back, Zhao Chen was the only one left in the tavern.
I looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, but it was not as dazzling as summer.
I will marry Li Ruoshuang soon.
I have a real home in the Tang Dynasty.
Having his own home, Zhao Chen wants to protect it well.
Since I came to Chang'an City, I have done many surprising things.
But after all, it's just a hammer and a stick.
When you are alive, as long as conditions allow, you can naturally create many novel things.
But people will die in the end.
If he died, the Tang Dynasty would still follow the old path before?
If the Tang Dynasty is gone, who will protect his home?
Lao Li said something right. The progress of anything depends on whether your initial foundation is solid or not, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air after all.
Zhao Chen knew the principle of forcing the growth of seedlings. It was really easy to innovate all kinds of new things with his own knowledge.
But what after?
Without myself, the Tang Dynasty would not develop?
If you want to last for a long time, you must gain a foothold, be steady and move forward step by step.
The prosperity of any dynasty is definitely not based on one person, but requires the unremitting struggle of a group of people.
Zhao Chen felt a little unwilling.
He had an excellent opportunity, but he seemed to be missing it again and again.
