This money has almost spent the silver donated by the horses, and even Prime Minister Wei Zheng transferred tens of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury to fill it, but if it continues like this, Prime Minister Wei Cheng feels a little unbearable.

Not to mention whether there is money to continue to complete the acquisition of these locusts, just where to pile up these 100 million catties of locusts is a huge problem.

"Zilong, this locust purchase order should almost be over by now, the entire Chang'an City, including the nearby locusts, has been almost cleared, and if it continues like this, we don't have so much silver to buy, and we don't have such a big warehouse to store!"

Prime Minister Wei was also a little frightened when he looked at this data, the number of locusts purchased on the first day was only 10 million catties, but it increased every day in the next few days.

The number of locusts purchased yesterday has reached more than 30 million catties. However, even with this data, Prime Minister Wei Zheng also knew that there was a lot of moisture, and at least half of the locusts were privately divided by these princes, nobles, and relatives.

But fortunately, it was these princes, nobles, civil and military officials who helped bear some of it, otherwise this would not be an investment of 100,000 taels of silver, but an investment of 200,000 or 300,000 taels, which is also a big burden for the current Datang treasury.

"Uncle Wei, now this locust purchase order can't be ended, although the locusts in the Chang'an area have been caught, but it is also because the people of Chang'an are actively participating in it, if we suddenly stop buying locusts, I'm afraid that it won't take much time, and the locusts in other regions will infest again, and then our previous efforts will be in vain!"

House Long shook his head, he knew that at this time, he must not be able to be a tiger, as long as the Tang Dynasty can stand up, the people will have the motivation to continue to grasp, and they will be able to completely survive this locust plague, if they can't stand it, then the reputation of the imperial court will be damaged, and it won't take a few days, I'm afraid that Chang'an City will be plagued by locusts again,

Now the reason why the millions of people in Chang'an City are so active in catching locusts is because catching locusts is indeed profitable, and second, the locusts in Chang'an City are really caught by these people.

"However, we can appropriately reduce the purchase price of locusts, what was set before was a big dollar of ten catties of locusts, but now the locusts in Chang'an City have been almost caught, and now the locusts that are being purchased are all outside Chang'an City, we can reduce it to fifteen catties per penny or even twenty catties per penny!"

However, for these people, we can say that the locusts in Chang'an City are expensive, ten catties per penny, and locusts outside Chang'an City are worthless, twenty catties per penny, I believe that even so, there will definitely be people who will catch them! ”

The house dragon rolled his eyes, and suddenly came up with such a bad idea, but although the idea was sassy, the house dragon felt that the effect must be good, after all, now that the locust plague is plagued, many people in Chang'an City have nothing to do, and it is actually good to catch locusts a day.

"The locusts outside the city are not worth much, yes, yes, this reason can be used, so that our funds are greatly abundant!" Prime Minister Wei Zheng touched his beard and smiled.

"Zilong, the people I sent to buy Niu Bao Bao are back!"

Wei Zheng closed the account book, and also rubbed his reddened eyes, but he was still very excited to tell the house dragon the news, about Niu Bao Bao Bao, House Long had only discussed with Wei Zheng from beginning to end, and even His Majesty Li Er didn't tell him, so Fang Long's plan, Prime Minister Wei Zheng knew everything, and naturally knew what kind of impact this group of people who went to buy Niu Bao would have on the Great Wall?

"Oh, these people are back, I don't know how many Niu Bao Bao Bao have been bought!"

House Dragon suddenly felt a burst of spirit, about the acquisition of this Turkic bull Ma Ma Bao, House Dragon also attaches great importance to it, as Wei Zheng said, as long as this matter can be implemented smoothly, this time the Turkic war, even if House Dragon does not move a knife and a shot, its credit is definitely among the top three!

"Wang Neng, it's up to you and the horse to talk about this matter in detail!"

But Prime Minister Wei Zheng did clap his hands, and a person immediately walked in outside the door, and the house dragon turned his head to look, only to see that this person was wearing Turkic clothes and had a scruffy beard.

"The last general can see the horse and meet Prime Minister Wei!" Wang Neng turned over and said in an authentic Chang'an dialect.

"General Wang Neng has worked hard, I heard that you are responsible for the acquisition of Niu Bao Bao in the Turks this time, I don't know if you can give this horse a good explanation!"

The house dragon couldn't help but look at Wang Neng carefully, and saw that although this Wang Neng was dusty, he was full of energy, worthy of being the person selected by Prime Minister Wei Cheng to go to the Turks to perform special tasks, and he was really a little capable.

"Yes, the last general obeyed the order of the prime minister this time, a total of five caravans went to the Turks, each caravan of more than 200 people, a total of 1,000 people, with 100,000 silver to the Turks to buy Niu Bao Bao, now all the thousands of people have returned, no one has been killed, a total of 512 pairs of Niu Bao, 980 pairs of Ma Bao, 1,324 pairs of Yang Bao! At the same time, the leaders of the Turkic tribes gave cowhides, sheepskins, and countless precious medicinal materials! ”

Wang Neng had a clear mind and reported all the work of this Turkic trip to these two formulators of the Turkic plan!

"Yes, it's been a hard month!"

Seeing this, the house dragon couldn't help but smile, the data that Wang Neng said was about the same as the house dragon expected, and even better than the house dragon thought, because the purchase price of Niu Bao Bao and Yang Bao was set by the house dragon himself.

Originally, according to the expectation of the house dragon, it would not be possible to buy so many Niu Bao Baobao, but now that there are so many gains, it seems that this time it is indeed Wang Neng who has worked hard, and there is no black money from it, and the task is still quite good.

"The last general will not dare!"

Wang Neng was excited in his heart, this time the Turkic trip, Wang Neng worked so hard, just to be able to show himself in front of the concubine and Prime Minister Wei Zheng, and now it seems that this time his goal has been successfully achieved.

"Merit is merit, your mission this time is indeed done well, but this task is currently in a secret state, so your merit will be recorded temporarily, and after this incident is over, I will report it to Your Majesty!"

The house dragon did say that Wang Neng took the initiative to take over this task, and successfully overfulfilled it, and its purpose must be to be able to show his face in front of His Majesty the Emperor with this credit, so as to be promoted.
