Wei Fu,

When the total amount of locusts purchased on the first day was counted to Wei Zheng, even the prime minister of Wei Zheng couldn't help but be a little stunned at this moment, because on this account book, it was impressively recorded that the total number of locusts purchased in the entire Chang'an City today was more than 9.8 million catties!

Nearly 10 million catties of locusts, you can imagine how many locusts were caught in Chang'an City today, no wonder you can see the locusts in Chang'an City this afternoon, the number is significantly reduced.

"Virtuous nephew, can this whole million catties of locusts be done? And that's just today's harvest, if it continues for a few more days, I'm afraid our storerooms will be full of locusts! ”

Wei Zheng said this, but he couldn't help but calculate an account, the current market price of locusts in Chang'an City is ten catties of locusts for a penny, and today it only took half a day to receive nearly 10 million catties of locusts, tens of millions of catties of locusts, that is, millions of dollars, and 10,000 taels of silver in exchange for silver!

If he hadn't known that there was definitely a market for this fried locust, Wei Zheng would not have agreed to buy locusts with the silver of Baihuahua.

"It's okay, we have a lot of people in Datang, even if we catch them, we have to catch these locusts, I want to see how much silver these locusts can be worth, and Uncle Wei's fried locusts have not yet been announced, a penny and ten catties of grain, where have you heard of this price?"

House Long looked at today's account book, but couldn't help but smile and said, about the ban on fried locusts This matter was personally issued by His Majesty Li Er, who wants to tell this matter before the horse house dragon will raid the family and exterminate the clan.

This is what His Majesty Li Er said in the Taiji Palace, so until now, the civil and military officials in Chang'an City are buying locusts, but no one dares to poke this matter out, and the house dragon also knows that the locusts here are only a part of the purchase of these civil and military generals, after all, with the population of one million people in Chang'an, the locusts caught today are only ten catties of locusts per person!

But how is this possible, there must still be a large number of locusts that have been privately hidden by these civil and military generals, and the emperor's relatives and relatives, after all, as the house dragon said, now they are buying ten catties of grain for a penny!

"That's right, this time I don't have to worry about the grain and grass of His Majesty's westward expedition! Zilong, your grain and grass pioneer officer this time will definitely be greatly appreciated by the border army! ”

Wei Zheng couldn't help but say at this moment, the trick of fried locusts in the house dragon is simply to revitalize the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty, and if this fried locust is sent to the army as military food, Wei Zheng doesn't need to see it, until he will definitely be welcomed by the soldiers in the army, after all, this is a chicken-flavored, crunchy fried locust, and according to the horse, its nutritional value is higher than that of chicken, and eating locusts is almost equal to eating meat!

And in the past dynasties, which time has the imperial army been able to eat meat?

If you have enough brown rice, it can already be regarded as a very good meal.

So this time, the house dragon served as the vanguard officer of grain and grass, and once these fried locust military rations were sent to the border army, then not to mention anything else, the food aspect would be enough to make the Turks envious.

"Uncle Wei, I remember that the men you sent out to the Turkic side should have almost come back!"

House Dragon and the account book, although it is said that His Majesty Li Er handed over the matter of fried locusts to House Long to be responsible, but House Long still directly found Uncle Wei as soon as possible, as the chief quartermaster of Datang Grain and Grass, if he wants to do a good job of this fried locust, he must have a good relationship with Uncle Wei, but as early as when House Dragon donated half of the profits of the perfume before, Uncle Wei had already been bought by himself. To put it mildly, now the millions of dollars spent on the purchase of locusts are all profits from the sale of perfume by the house!

Although Wei Zheng and Wei Cheng didn't say it explicitly, the house dragon could also guess that eight or nine were not far from ten, but he could spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to pull Wei Zheng to his side, and the house dragon still felt that it was worth it.

"It stands to reason that it should be about the same, I don't know if the situation over there is going well!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's heart couldn't help but look forward to it, if this trick of the horse can be implemented smoothly, then this time in the Turkic war, the military merits of the horse should be among the top three, and there is no problem at all!

…

Turkic king's tent,

Jieli Khan, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, for the Turks, it is a period of physical strength, Jieli Khan sat on the throne of the Great Khan for only seven or eight years, but he collected all the Turkic departments, used troops against the Tang several times, and achieved good results, especially the year before the Great Great, and even forced the Lord of the Great Tang to sign the Weishui Alliance, which is definitely a victory that should not be underestimated for the Turks.

It's just that when Jieli Khan officially proposed to marry the Gaoyang princess with the title of Chang'an as his concubine, His Majesty Li Er did not hesitate to refuse directly!

Jieli Khan was a little annoyed at the time, but over the years, the Turks have also used troops year after year, and the tribes have complained, Jieli Khan also knows the importance of the people's hearts, and he did not have a big conflict with the Tang Dynasty directly, but in the past two years, the wind and rain on the grassland have been smooth, the water and grass are abundant, and there are countless cattle and sheep, and the power of Jieli Khan has been greatly enhanced, so he has moved the mind of doing something to the Tang Dynasty!

"Chaolu, how is the conscription of the various tribes implemented? In the golden autumn moon, I must give Datang a good look! ”

In the grassland king's tent, Jieli Khan slashed and stabbed on the throne, thinking about the upcoming golden autumn moon, Jieli Khan couldn't help but be excited, for that powerful Central Plains country, Jieli Khan was both worshiped as a god and despised in every way, under the stimulation of this ambivalence, Jieli Khan had not yet made a move on the Tang Dynasty, he was already excited!

"Khan, almost all the tribes of the steppe have been prepared, just wait for the Khan's order, we can gather, 400,000 warriors!" On the left side of the throne, Ye Hu Chaolu, who was the most trusted of Jieli Khan, flipped through a parchment scroll in his hand and said.

The official position of the Turks is completely different from that of the Central Plains, with strong nomadic characteristics, Ye Huxiang is equal to the prime minister, and the khan is equal to the emperor!

Although the paper in the Central Plains is good, it is not used in the grassland, so even the most trusted Ye Hu of Jeli Khan, Chaolu also uses this kind of parchment roll.

"Very good, I must snatch that princess back this year, and at the same time, I must let His Majesty the Emperor know how powerful my Turkic warriors are!"

Hearing the figures reported by Chaolu, Jieli Khan couldn't help but increase his confidence, a full 400,000 horses, which was a number that Jieli Khan did not dare to imagine in previous years.

The Turkic raids on the border are dominated by cavalry, not to mention 400,000 cavalry, I am afraid that 100,000 cavalry will already be able to make the Tang border blaze with smoke, and now a full 400,000 cavalry, Jieli Khan feels that this time he will definitely be able to give His Majesty the Tang Emperor a cruel lesson, and at the same time, he will be able to welcome back the princess Her Royal Highness who made him fall in love!

"Khan, there is no big problem with the matter of people and horses, but in recent days, it seems that many caravans have come to our Turks in Datang, and it seems that they are going to do business, but the minister thinks that these people are likely to come to spy on my Turkic intelligence, do you need to drive them back to Datang?"

Chaolu folded the sheepskin roll, and put away this sheepskin scroll with him, which was not only the total number of 400,000 horses, but also the grain, cattle, sheep and war horses and other important information about the various tribes, all recorded on this sheepskin scroll, which can be said to be an important basis for the Turkic army.

"Caravan, what caravan?" Jieli Khan was stunned for a moment, how could he never have heard of this caravan!

"That's the case, in the past month, a lot of caravans have come from the Datang side, with a lot of money, I heard that the princes and nobles on the Datang side are very sought after for Niu Bao Bao, but there are very few cattle and horses in Datang, so these merchants have come to our Turks thousands of miles to buy these Niu Bao Bao Bao, and the price is not expensive, many tribes have made a lot of silver taels through this kind of transaction, I am afraid that if these caravans are directly expelled, I am afraid that some tribes will be dissatisfied!"

Chaolu said with a little weakness, because he was also the leader of a Turkic tribe, and he had also done a few businesses with the Datang caravan, and he had gained a lot

"Niu Bao Bao, what is this?" Jieli Khan suddenly felt that he was a little outdated, what is the bull Bao Bao? None of them know these things!

"Khan doesn't know, this bull treasure is brought by those merchants, that is, a pale yellow solid in the stomach of cattle and sheep, according to these Central Plains businessmen, there are great benefits, and the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty are eager for this kind of bull treasure treasure!" Seeing this Jieli Khan, he seemed to be quite interested, and Chaolu also began to explain to Jieli Khan!
