Chapter 137: Walking Forward
In addition to roast duck, one of the more delicacies that has recently emerged in Chang'an City is fried locusts.
Deep-fried locusts are delicious and nutritious, and they can also nourish yin and yang.
And the price is not expensive, the price per catty is only 25 yuan.
The people of the entire Chang'an City know it.
The price of His Highness's purchase of dried locusts is full of 20 yuan a catty.
And the person who buys it has to pay the worker, right?
Do you have to transport it on the road?
After transporting it back, do you still have to store it?
You have to use oil to fry locusts, right?
These seven are counted and eight are all combined.
Even if a pound of fried locusts is sold for 30 yuan a catty, it will not make money.
In this business, the king of Shu also lost money and did it again.
Because the price is fair, the taste is delicious, and it also has the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac.
The sales of fried locusts in Chang'an City are also good.
In fact, probably only Li Yu himself knows.
In fact, fried locusts, not only will you not lose money, but you can also make a small profit.
Of course, it's just not a big profit.
As for the reason why it is still profitable.
That's because the locusts need to be marinated before they are put into the oil pan.
And in order to ensure the taste of the fried locusts, a little more salt should be added to it.
A pound of dried locusts can blow up at least one and a half pounds of fried locusts.
Therefore, in the fried locust business, Li Su not only did not lose money, but he could also make a small profit.
Of course, in fact, Li Su doesn't look down on such a small profit at all.
He bought locusts and launched a series of delicacies such as roast duck, all he did was to help the people affected by the disaster.
As for the dried locusts that have been purchased, they will not be sold out for a while.
Li Su directly ordered people to pickle all the dried locusts.
In this way, even if you leave it for a year, it won't break.
One year, enough to sell all the dried locusts.
……
Next, the imperial court sent people to carry out disaster relief work.
The effects of the locust plague were quickly erased.
Time flies like a white horse, and before you know it, autumn has come.
The people have reaped all their crops and returned to their homes.
After two years of connection, Datang can be said to have suffered many disasters.
Last year's drought, this year's locust plague.
For the people of Guanzhong and Hedong Province and Henan Province, it is really unfavorable for the passing year.
But for the imperial court, although there were disasters for two consecutive years.
But the imperial court perfectly defused both disasters.
Even the treasury is fuller than before.
Under these circumstances, Li Shimin's interest was very high.
So after the autumn, Li Shimin prepared an autumn hunting activity.
The location of the autumn hunt is set outside Weicheng.
This time, several generals who stayed in Chang'an, as well as all the adult princes, would follow the emperor to hunt.
And each of them was to follow with his own escort.
……
In the morning of mid-September, the hunt officially began.
The three thousand internal guards first put all the hunting wilderness under martial law to ensure that no idle people and other people mixed in.
Next, Li Shimin led the generals and some civilian officials to make a shining debut.
Next, starting with the crown prince Li Chengqian, each led 500 guards into the factory respectively.
The crown prince Li Chengqian has a close relationship with the military general Hou Junji.
This time, the crown prince Li Chengqian was bent on making a splash in this hunt.
Therefore, Li Chengqian's 500 guards were all trained with the help of Hou Junji. #
Read on! Even the personnel are carefully selected.
Therefore, the five hundred guards led by Li Chengqiang are not only burly.
Between the ranks, there is a fierce atmosphere.
At a glance, it is clear that this is definitely a division of tigers and wolves.
The guards of Li Ke, the third prince of Wu, are also not a problem.
Because Li Ke himself is both civil and military, he is most like Li Shimin in appearance.
In fact, Li Shimin's love for Li Ke is not below other princes.
Who doesn't like a child who looks most like them?
It's just that because Li Ke's mother is a former Sui princess.
Therefore, Li Ke's treatment is far inferior to that of Li Tai and the crown prince.
In fact, this is also Li Shimin's protection of Li Ke in disguise.
In the original historical trajectory, after the crown prince was deposed, Li Shimin once had the idea of making Li Ke the prince.
It's just that because he couldn't get the support of the eldest grandson Wuji in the end, he didn't do it in the end.
And Li Ke himself is outstanding in martial arts, and the escort army he leads, the appearance of the army, naturally needless to say.
Next, there is the fourth prince Li Tai.
Li Tai, a little fat man, is the most favored on the bright side.
And Li Tai himself also has the ambition to overthrow the prince and ascend to the throne by himself.
I have been prepared for this hunt for a long time.
Therefore, the guards of the fourth prince Li Tai are also in good spirits.
Each of these three princes' guards is not weaker than ordinary armies.
Li Shimin, the emperor of the hundred battles, was very happy to see this scene.
couldn't help laughing and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think the guards of the princes are majestic?" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the successor!"
"My Datang has such a strong army, why not prosper?"
"A few princes, it's really a young phoenix that is clear from the old phoenix, and it will be blue!"
Just as everyone was talking, the guards of the sixth prince Li Su began to appear.
And as soon as the guards of the Six Princes appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
It's true, the guards of the Six Princes are too terrifying!
From a distance, the five hundred guards of the six princes formed a neat and uniform phalanx.
The whole team, the movements are neat and the flowers are one.
With each step forward, everyone takes exactly the same step.
Even the height of the raised feet is almost the same.
Everyone's arm swing is almost at the same height.
No matter which direction you look at, it is a straight line.
A phalanx of 500 people looked like a man.
Such a neat and uniform phalanx made everyone present gasp.
Just this one appearance, the escort team of the King of Shu compared everyone at once.
As the team progresses.
The guards of the three princes in front had already arrived at the scene.
Stopped at the designated location.
And after adding it, Xue Rengui, the commander of the Shu King's guards, issued an order.
"All of them, walking!"
With the order, the entire escort army suddenly changed from walking in unison to walking in front of each other.
If walking in unison may be a little chaotic, then walking in step is really like the same person.
The height of each man's arm, and the height of each soldier's leg, was completely strikingly consistent.
The kicks and arms of the whole team were completely uniform as if they had been done by one person.
Such an action was immediately amazing
Read on! Everyone present.
In a short time, the leader of the line had already arrived at the predetermined position.
Xue Rengui gave the order again: "Everyone obeys the command and walks in place." ”
