Chapter 136: The King of Shu lost his pants
The people of Hedong Province and Henan Province who learned the truth were very angry, and tears were about to fall.
No wonder!
No wonder the old irons of Guanzhong Road are so desperate, more desperate than them.
They are not here to help them, they are completely here for money!
What's even more infuriating is that the old irons of Guanzhong Road are still deceiving people!
When they asked why locust carcasses were collected.
The old irons in Guanzhong didn't tell the truth at all, they didn't say that dried locusts could be sold for money, they actually said that it was to prevent the plague!
They were also tricked to help them collect locust carcasses.
It is said that if you catch the most, you can dry more than 50 catties of dried locusts in a day, and you can sell them for more than 1,000 yuan!
These old irons from Guanzhong are really too dark!
Next, all the people of Hedong Province and Henan Province also fell into a frenzied craze for catching locusts.
They bought tools one after another, and the whole family went out with enthusiasm.
Twenty pounds of dried locusts!
It was originally very hateful in their eyes, and they longed to swallow the locusts alive.
Now it's all a flying copper coin!
It's so cute!
It's so fascinating!
At the end of the day, the family was able to catch several catties of dried locusts.
That's nearly a hundred dollars a day!
The people of the entire Hedong Province and Henan Province are about to fall into madness.
The power of money is endless.
What made them feel hopeless was that they thought that it was not a swarm of locusts that could be wiped out by manpower.
Now with the assistance of the ducks, in their frenzied catch.
The number is decreasing day by day.
This makes them very helpless.
Why are there so few locusts all of a sudden?
It's not enough to catch at all!
They haven't made much money yet!
How can this be?
Later, the number of locusts became less and less.
The people even clashed over the locusts.
Which old irons from Guanzhong were originally grateful to them, and they were grateful.
It has now been ostracized en masse.
Now there are not many locusts, and they are not enough for our locals.
You're still running over for a piece of the pie, it's too much.
In the end, the old irons from Guanzhong were all driven back.
At this point, the work of exterminating locusts has come to an end.
Actually, it can be said that it is over now.
The rest of the work is just the people of Hedong Province and Henan Province, sweeping up the tail.
In this locust plague, Guanzhong was basically not affected.
All the imperial court had to do was to mobilize some of the cheap grain to go over.
This is not disaster relief, because the people in Guanzhong have enough money to buy food.
The only areas that were really hit hard were Hadong Province and most of Hanam Province.
Later, although the king of Shu mobilized a huge flock of ducks to relieve the disaster.
But the crops that were damaged in front of them could not be saved.
The good news is that the locust plague has been blocked in Hedong and Henan provinces, and has not continued to expand the affected area.
This time, the only areas in need of disaster relief are Hadong Province and Henan Province.
This is completely acceptable to the imperial court.
There is no difficulty in providing disaster relief.
Last year, although there was a drought in Guanzhong.
However, because of the merit list, the imperial court received a large amount of disaster relief money and food.
He is still very wealthy.
There is no problem with disaster relief
Read on! A huge locust plague was easily wiped out in this way, and the Manchu Dynasty was very satisfied.
In this locust plague, basically there will be no people who will be ruined and displaced.
For Datang, it was a huge victory.
And the one who paid the most was the King of Shu.
Whether it is raising ducks in the early stage or buying dried locusts at a high price in the later stage, the king of Shu needs to pay a huge amount of money.
The gratitude to the King of Shu, all the victims, are in mind.
And the abilities of the two princes, King Shu and King Yue, were compared in this disaster relief, and they suddenly made a judgment.
……
Tang Emperor Li Shimin rewarded the two princes, and the reward to the King of Shu was more generous.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time, the credit of King Shu is greater.
However, the king of Shu has become a prince, and the emperor has no reward for him, so he can only be more generous in reward.
Li Shimin felt that he owed a lot to the King of Shu this time.
Because of this time to exterminate the locusts, Li Su, the king of Shu, does not know how much money it will cost.
In fact, in Li Su's opinion, this time, in fact, he didn't lose much money at all, and he could even earn some.
In the eyes of the Tang Emperor and hundreds of people, the King of Shu raised so many ducks and purchased so many dried locusts, he must have lost money.
After all, hundreds of thousands of ducks, how could the King of Shu sell them?
As for the dried locusts, it is even more unlikely that they will be sold.
If you collect so much and the purchase price is so high, you must sell at a loss.
This time, it must have been a miserable loss.
Even if the Shu royal family has a big cause, they can't afford to pay it.
At present, the King of Shu cooperates with various restaurants or shops in the entire Chang'an City.
The king of Shu sold the processed and marinated roast duck to them at the price of ten wen each.
And they, as long as the roast duck is cooked, can be sold for fifteen cents a piece.
At the major sales outlets, you only need to barbecue to sell, almost a net profit.
Because of the low price, roast duck is very popular in the whole Chang'an City.
The people of Chang'an City like to eat roast duck.
Of course, if you want to eat authentic roast duck, you have to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat.
The price of the champion building is still very expensive.
But in terms of taste, compared to those sold in the shops, it is true that one is in the sky and the other is underground, not of the same grade.
However, you must know that the price at which the King of Shu buys ducks is ten cents each.
Now that it is processed, the price of selling it to people after the pickling is completed is also ten cents.
The King of Shu really lost a lot.
And the King of Shu has a total of hundreds of thousands of ducks.
With so many ducks, how long does it take to sell?
During this time, the king of Shu also had to lose grain to raise these ducks.
This time, I don't know how much I have to accompany!
In fact, for Li Su, roast duck really doesn't lose money.
Because, what he sold for ten cents was pure duck meat with duck head, duck neck, duck paws, duck heart, duck intestines, duck gizzard and other internal organs.
In the champion building, Li Su has launched sauce duck neck, sauce duck head, duck paw, duck heart, duck intestines, duck gizzard and other delicacies.
It is also very popular at the moment.
Next, Li Su is ready to launch a duck neck chain store in the entire Chang'an City.
When the time comes, it is estimated that you can make a little profit.
In Chang'an City, the sales volume of roast duck is still quite large.
In one month, as many as five or six thousand were sold.
The price of roast duck is not expensive, and it is very delicious.
Read on! It is currently spreading to surrounding towns.
It is believed that the sales will be higher and higher in the future.
I believe that it will not be long before all these ducks will be sold.
