The fitness equipment was 'borrowed' away, and the craftsmen of the Weapons Department pondered copying, and Li Chuan didn't want to use it for the time being.

There was no way, he could only run laps day by day, walk to the creek every day to take a bath, and then walk back to sweat again, Li Chuan didn't know what he was tossing.

But no matter what, the days are getting more and more solid as he tosses like this.

My heart is stable, and I feel that no matter how I live, it is a good life.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and on the eve of the peaches being fully ripe, Li Chuan went down the mountain.

In fact, in the past half a month, Li Chuan has also gone down the mountain several times, all of which are things that he can't make up his mind about the mansion, and he wants to go over to discuss with him, so he went to the mountain, and after solving the problem, he went back to the mountain directly, and did not return to the palace.

Every time I went down the mountain, I would find that there were more locusts, until this time, His Majesty Li Er ordered Li Chuan to return to the palace.

Li Chuan looked at the peaches, and his heart was entangled for a long time, thinking about it every day, but he still didn't eat it in his mouth.

He had just dragged the craftsman who was good at digging wells into the mountain, but the well had not yet been drilled, and he had to go down the mountain before he could enjoy the convenience.

It's not that he doesn't want to hurry, it's just that the secret of the gunpowder shop is not something that ordinary people can know, and any one who goes up the mountain has to be approved by His Majesty Li Er.

Si Hu sent Li Chuan down the mountain very gratefully, "Don't worry, the county lord will hand over the mountain to us, and we will never disappoint your good intentions." ”

Li Chuan looked confused, and walked out more than ten meters before turning his head and asking Liu Cheng, "Why am I so good?" ”

Liu Cheng glanced at him strangely, "Didn't the master ask His Majesty to send a craftsman who is good at digging wells because he saw that they were working hard to fetch water every day?" And there is also fitness equipment, I heard that one has been imitated, and it can be delivered in two days. ”

Li Chuanmo, so in Si Hu's eyes, what he did was for them?

Oh, what a wonderful misunderstanding.

The way down the mountain is fine, occasionally some locusts are jumping, but the number is not much, but at the bottom of the mountain, there are swarms of locusts in the thousands of acres of fertile fields as far as the eye can see, and the common people look numb, or lie on the edge of the field and kneel down, praying that the locust god can be merciful, recruit its people back, and let go of their rations.

"Is it already that serious?" Li Chuan's face became solemn.

Liu Cheng didn't answer, he was also a little dumbfounded, he had been following Li Chuan these days, and he naturally didn't know what had become below if he didn't go down the mountain.

The two ran all the way back to Chang'an in silence, whether it was a field road or a spacious national road, it was full of a large number of locusts, and the people and merchants who came and went were all bitter, worried about how to live in the next few days.

One by one, the flying locusts crashed into Li Chuan's body, and his face hurt people.

Li Chuan was very depressed, in later life, he only watched the African locust plague broadcast on TV, the scene was really terrible, but now he knows that the locust plague on TV is not as good as in reality.

This is not even the last great migration of flying locusts, it is already so miserable, when hundreds of millions of locusts fly up, it is really not a single plant left, and the red land is not a joke.

And this is still the lighter of the two locust plagues, and Li Chuan does not dare to imagine what kind of situation it will be like tomorrow when there is no great locust plague in the millennium.

Patting the horse into Beijing, Li Chuan stared at the spacious avenue and saw that locusts were jumping all the time, and the common people were all earthy, praying, complaining, and sad, but they would not remove these locusts.

Although they can't kill many of them, it's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of attitude.

As soon as he entered the palace, there was a little eunuch waiting there, informing him to go to Chongwen Hall immediately.

Li Chuan entered the hall in the dust, only Li Shimin was there inside, and Wang Dehai was guarding by the door.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Li Chuan bowed slightly, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is the food you bought now enough?" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "I don't know. ”

"How could you not know? Didn't you prepare months in advance? Li Chuan was anxious and didn't care about Li Shimin's identity as the emperor, so he directly questioned.

"This kind of preparation, no matter how much it is, is too little." Li Shimin sat weakly behind the table, and said with blank eyes: "I didn't expect the disaster to be so serious. ”

"It's going to be worse next year, what are you going to do?"

Li Shimin was silent, looked at Li Chuan's stern face, and suddenly smiled, "With you, I believe that I can resist it." ”

Hey, that's unreasonable!

What's the use of him, he can't make food.

Ah, he's so good at making food! Li Chuan was slightly stunned, he has live broadcast coins to buy food, but how much can he buy? Can't save a few people.

"It's not time to distribute the food, we have to wait!" Li Shimin's expression relaxed a little, and said: "Huangzhuang looks good, your advice is very effective, those poultry are indeed the nemesis of locusts, but there are too few." ”

This Li Chuan admitted that when he passed through the village, he also saw some poultry, all of which were bulging, but the number was too small to pose a big threat to locusts.

"By the way, you don't know yet, your chicks have hatched." Li Shimin's expression was a little weird, "There are quite a few of them." ”

"That's great, Chen just went to see, practice has proved that this method is feasible, then you can hatch more, if you don't use it this year, you will definitely be able to use it next year." Li Chuan is very happy, as long as the method is right, he can set up a chicken farm in every village in the future.

In fact, a chicken farm doesn't cost much silver, basically the upfront investment, whether it is eggs or chicken, this is valuable.

The value generated is enough to keep the chicken farm running.

"Let's go back." Li Shimin waved his hand and watched Li Chuan slip away in a hurry.

Shook his head a little helplessly, in fact, he called Li Chuan, he wanted to thank this kid, if it wasn't for his reminder, I don't know how many people will die in this locust plague, maybe he will have to make an edict against himself, and then those families will jump out to stir up trouble and make trouble for him.

But when they really met, he found that Li Chuan had changed a little, and he was worried that the hearts of those people were no less than him, and it didn't matter if they thanked him or not.

Hmm, why don't you let the one who gets what you want go out of the palace to live?!

Li Shimin pondered for a while and felt that this opportunity was feasible.

After all, Li Chuan can't stay in the palace all his life, and if he wants to go out, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun.

Li Chuan ran all the way back to Yiqiu Palace, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he finally knew why Li Shimin's expression was so weird when he mentioned the matter of hatching chicks.

See what he sees? The little yellow chickens in the courtyard of Yiqiu Palace are running all over the grass, and those eunuchs and palace maids have to carefully avoid them when they walk, for fear that they will trample the immature little yellow chickens to death if they don't pay attention.

"Master, are you back?" Xiao Yinzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw Li Chuan at a glance, and then moved towards him in small steps.

"Alright, don't come here, just stand there." Li Chuan simply didn't look at it, "What about Cheng Qian?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the main hall......" Before Xiao Yinzi finished speaking, he saw that Li Chuan had already walked to the door of the main hall, "Sleep up!" ”

He didn't know if Li Chuan heard the last three words, anyway, the person went in.

The little prince Li Chengqian was lying on a recliner with an ice basin beside him, sleeping very peacefully.

Then he felt a strong force lifting his whole person, and he screamed in fright, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the person who picked him up was Li Chuan.

"Scared me, why did you come back?" Li Chengqian patted his chest.

On such a hot day, sleeping next to the ice basin is the most beautiful thing, why interrupt his sweet dream?!

"If I don't come back, will you turn Yiqiu Palace into a chicken nest?" Li Chuan glared at him angrily.

Li Chengqian scratched his head, "How can there be, isn't there locusts, I just thought about letting these little yellow chickens play a role." ”

"Don't you think they're too small?" It's only been hatched for two days, what role can it play?!

"It's small, but aren't there small locusts? I see them running pretty happily. Li Chengqian didn't understand what was wrong with this.

"Okay, remember to grab a handful of millet and feed them." Li Chuan didn't know if such a small little yellow chicken could find food to eat by itself, but if he added a handful of millet, he should not starve to death.

If you can grow up, you can eat insects, so keep them.

"The second litter of chicks has also hatched, but if you want to hatch, you have to wait a few days, hatch once, and you can probably hatch sixty percent, which is really a lot." Li Chengqian said very seriously: "I have some farmers, their method of hatching chicks is the hen holding the nest, in fact, there are really not many chicks hatched, a batch of twenty or thirty eggs, five or six chicks hatched out is considered a good result."

I think you can promote this method, so that people can hatch chicks at home, and then they can raise them without much food, and then they can eat eggs and chicken during the New Year. ”

"You're right, it's best for each village to unify the places where the chicks are hatched, and arrange a few people to watch day and night upside down, so that the efficiency is definitely higher than that of each family hatching by itself."

"Huh? Really, if each family hatches by itself, at least two people need to be arranged to watch it without leaving them, so it is too delayed to work, and it is better to put the whole village together. Li Chengqian thought about it, nodded again and again, and felt that if he did this, it wouldn't be long before there would be a lot of little yellow chickens to raise in every village.

That's it, you have to get this kang first, how to hatch it without a kang kang, and it will be cooked after a while when you put it on the stove.

You have to arrange for someone to go down to teach, it's not good if it's cold, it's not good if it's hot, this degree must be mastered.

"I think you can do this, why don't you go and apply to Your Majesty?" Li Chuan suggested.

Don't be stupid to read all the time, and it's also a good thing to go out and do something once in a while.

"Me?" Li Chengqian pointed at himself in surprise, and then made a bitter face, "I'm very busy, I just sent Yi Nan away a few days ago, and I was dizzy to make up for the make-up class, and these days are too hot, I don't want to move at all, besides, I'm still thinking about road repair." ”

"Build roads? Where to build the road? ”

"From Chang'an to Luoyang and then to Jinling, there are a lot of roads that need to be repaired." Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Actually, it's too bad to build roads in this weather, but what should I do?" Isn't this a plague of locusts? It is estimated that there is not much food left, so how can the people live? Do you send food? There must be a reason, road construction is a good reason, to build roads to work, the official family to take care of the food, will not starve to death, as for the work, do it slowly, not in a hurry, men do heavy work, women pick light work to do, children can also pick up stones or check the road surface or something, in short, you can definitely find something to do, this is also no way. ”

Li Chuan was slightly stunned, and then nodded in agreement, "It's a good way." ”

At least it's much better than he thought it would be to send food directly.

Sometimes people don't cherish the things they get for nothing, and they get it through their own labor, and they can eat it with peace of mind.

"By the way, your mansion on the fief is probably about to be built." Li Chengqian remembered this incident, but he just ...... A little weak-hearted.

"Really? I'm going to have to take a look at it. "His fiefdom, he hasn't been there yet.

Li Chengqian smiled and coughed lightly: "Because my father gave you a big mansion in Chang'an, the mansion on the fief was built a little smaller. ”

"That, it was originally intended to be built according to the regulations, but it was temporarily changed to a three-entry courtyard, anyway, you are alone, how to live is enough!" Li Chengqian's smile was a little embarrassed, and in his selfish heart, he also felt that his father was a little unauthentic in doing this, but what his father said was not unreasonable, Li Chuan became a concubine in the future, and he would definitely not spend much time in the fief, and he would be in the capital for at least ten months in a year, so the mansion in the fief would not have to be built so big.

In fact, he can also understand his father's thoughts, doesn't he just want to leave Li Chuan in Chang'an and not let him run too far.

Li Chuan tilted his head and calculated, the size of the house in Sanjin is also scored, but no matter how big or small, it is enough for him and a few guards to stay.

If it is not enough, then build it in the future, and when these craftsmen have learned to build small villas, he may be able to pull up a construction team and develop real estate in Datang at that time, and finally he will definitely become the first person in Datang Real Estate!

It's a little exciting to think about it!

"Don't talk about anything else, let's get some delicious food first, I'm really a bird in the mountains!" He can adapt to two meals a day, but his stomach is not willing to adapt.

"Dinner now?" Li Chengqian glanced at the time, two o'clock in the afternoon, is it lunch or dinner at this time?

No matter what it is, for the sake of Li Chuan who has really lost weight, let the kitchen cook some fresh.

Li Chuan held the ice basin and shivered a few times, and finally felt more comfortable.

There is a lot of saltpeter in the mountains, and he also used saltpeter to make some ice, but it can only be used during the day, and at night, the mountains are still a little cold, and it will be even cooler if you put an ice basin.

It's not a joke that the cold air enters the body, the ice basin or something, you really can't put it all the time.

After hugging for a while, Li Chuan let go, and then looked at the ice basin and began to wonder if he could make some homemade shaved ice?!

Just as he began to think about it, Li Chengqian's voice dragged his thoughts back again.

"I said, can your clothing store and restaurant be opened? Look like you're not interested at all? If it doesn't open, I'll use the store for something else. "Regarding the restaurant, Li Chengqian has already greeted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin doesn't care who Li Chuan is looking for shares, what he cares about is whether he has shares in it!
