To tell the truth, the reason why Li Chengqian is not worried.

It's nothing more than three points.

First, the transfer of grain from the south to the north has now taken place, and grain prices in the north will not deteriorate too much.

Second, he knew that it wouldn't take long for the plague to dissipate on its own.

The third point is that locusts can eat it.

If this were not the case, Li Chengqian would not have stood up to persuade Li Shimin not to return to Beijing.

After all, the current situation in the Northern Desert is very good, and if it goes well, it won't take long to finish the battle.

If Li Shimin is allowed to go back at this time, it will at least have to be delayed for a year and a half.

It's not good, Jieli at that time came to his senses, and he would eat away at the advantages that Datang had already occupied step by step.

Therefore, no matter what aspect he says, Li Chengqian must stand up and speak.

……

But in this day and age.

Many people regard locusts as gods.

It is believed that the locusts are the messengers of the gods.

It is the calamity that the gods unleashed only when they punish mortals for their sins.

Unless hungry, there are really few people who dare to eat locusts.

At this time, I saw this plate of spicy locusts.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji really don't know how to speak.

Li Chengqian didn't care so much, grabbed a locust and threw it into his mouth.

Truth be told, grasshoppers are really delicious.

In particular, after the spicy taste overshadows the earthy smell, only a crunchy and refreshing taste remains.

It's like spiced melon seeds, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Seeing Li Chengqian's face full of enjoyment.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji dared to move chopsticks.

But as soon as the chopsticks moved, they naturally couldn't stop.

The eldest grandson Wuji threw it into his mouth one after another: "Your Majesty, this locust is really delicious." ”

"It's not as delicious as you."

"Leave me some ......"

The two brothers, who grew up together since childhood, actually began to rob locusts and eat them.

Li Chengqian, who was standing on the side, didn't even have a chance to start.

After eating a plate of locusts, Li Shimin looked up at Li Chengqian.

"That's what you do?"

"That's right."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Now, as long as my father offers a reward, ten locusts will have a copper plate. ”

"Believe it or not, at most half a month later, you can still see the shadow of locusts, and I will lose."

"But these locusts, what do I want to do with them?"

To tell the truth, Li Chengqian's is indeed a good way.

Li Shimin naturally knows it.

But what's the use of this locust?

Is it possible to eat it yourself?

Wouldn't that have to hold on......

Li Chengqian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the smile on his face was still honest.

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw his expression, he immediately felt the slightest malice.

"Qian'er ......"

"You...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"I can't eat all these locusts......"

"How can I be?"

"How can I let my uncle eat so many locusts alone?"

Li Chengqian smiled: "But doesn't my uncle have a restaurant or a restaurant?" ”

"I told my uncle the recipe, and when he came back, you just had to ask the restaurant to sell locusts."

Hey......

That's a great idea.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian with appreciation.

"If you sell locusts in restaurants, over time, the people will know that locusts are edible."

"Even if there is another locust plague in the future, I am afraid that it will not cause too much disaster."

Hehe......

In this day and age, the people know that locusts can eat.

Not to mention that there will be no disaster in the future.

If the locusts are not extinct, that is considered good.

And the eldest grandson Wuji saw that both father and son were looking at him.

Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "In that case, then I'll give it a try." ”

"Hurry up and go back to Chang'an now."

Li Shimin got up directly and said: "You will go out first with the money for the purchase of locusts, and when I go back, I will settle it for you." ”

Liquidation......

If he hadn't said this, he might have reimbursed him.

But now that these words have been said, how can I still mention it?

What kind of pit son is really what kind of pit dad there will be.

But the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything more.

In the evening of the same day, he set off directly and took a team of people back to Chang'an City.

……

A few days later, the battle report from the front line came.

After reading the war report, Li Shimin was overjoyed.

The front line reported that Li Jing's discordant plan worked.

Jieli's confidant Kang Sumi returned to the Tang Dynasty.

And he also gave a meeting gift to Datang.

One is the Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the other is Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Subsequently, Jieli continued to lead his troops to retreat in the direction of Yinshan.

When he was on the Hunhe River, he was defeated by the Chai Shao army, which had been ambushed for a long time.

After being defeated and fleeing, he was chased and beaten all the way by Li Tao.

In the end, Jieli had no choice but to retreat to Iron Mountain and collect the scattered soldiers and horses.

Seeing Li Shimin smiling like an old chrysanthemum.

Li Chengqian, who was serving tea and water on the side, asked, "Is this a happy event?" ”

"Of course."

Li Shimin stood up: "Jieli, this old boy, boasted of being the overlord of the grassland with millions of soldiers a few years ago. ”

"What now? Isn't it still a rat that was beaten by my soldiers? ”

"Is there anything to be happy about?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with raised eyebrows.

It was also when Li Shimin was about to get angry.

Li Chengqian suddenly changed his tone and said, "Isn't this how it should be?" ”

"My father is wise and powerful, how can he be compared to the old boy?"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "These have long been expected by me, if my father said that he lost, I would be surprised." ”

Well......

Is this kid boasting about himself?

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian with a strange expression.

After a long time, he came back to his senses: "How is the situation in the wounded barracks?" ”

"Father doesn't ask, I still want to say it."

"Because of my father's wisdom and martial arts, in the military camp, there are enough Langzhong and sufficient medicines."

"In the past few days, there have been soldiers who have died without medical treatment or medicine."

Li Chengqian slapped himself again.

After all, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn.

Li Shimin was happy, although he couldn't receive the anger value, but it was still good for himself.

For example, he doesn't beat himself up at every turn.

But he didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking now.

Li Shimin is now thinking about whether this product is so sensible today, whether he has to calculate himself again.

Li Shimin simply said: "Okay, just say something if you have something, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

"Me?"

"I'm fine."

Li Chengqian was a little speechless.

Are you that bad?

Could it be that if you say a few kind words, you have to ask for something?

"Are you alright?"

Li Shimin glanced at him.

"It's fine."

Li Chengqian nodded firmly.

"Well, I have something to do with you."

Li Shimin said directly: "Kang Sumi led the crowd to surrender, and now he is in Dingxiang." ”

"Tomorrow you will set out to receive the captives in my place."

What???

Let yourself go and receive the captives?

Seeing Li Chengqian's eyebrows, one high and one low.

Li Shimin tilted his head: "What, you're not happy?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian came back to his senses and looked like a stinky fart.

"Willing, how can you not be happy."

"But if I'm gone, what will happen to the wounded barracks?"

"I'll find someone to cook, so you don't have to worry about that."

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said, "You just have to go and receive the prisoners." ”

"Among the captives this time, some are former ministers, and some are Turkic khanates."

"After you go, remember not to lose the face of my Datang......"
