On the second day, after Qin Feng greeted Qin Qiong Cui's family, he left the Yiguo Mansion and returned to Qinzhuang early. I don't want to meddle in what the brothers are doing, it's not good for anyone to meddle too much, let them talk about it for a few years, now they have something to do, and it is impossible for Qin Feng to go to Li Shimin to remove the brothers and replace them. Which one is more than worth the loss, it is better to go with the flow, and Qin Feng is ready to sit on nothing and stare at building his own mansion.

In the following days, Qin Feng started the diving mode, and after getting up every day, he went to the construction site to take a turn, and then returned to the small courtyard in the village, and when a few brothers had nothing to do, they came to Qin Feng to talk about trivial matters, and life gradually returned to calm.

Time is in a hurry, autumn has passed in a blink of an eye, Qin Feng's small second floor has also been built, and Zhang Dayong and the crown prince Li Chengqian, who were collecting grain outside, have also returned. At the same time, he also brought back hundreds of thousands of catties of grain.

"The grain of Qin Feng, Jiangnan, Huainan, and Jiannan has been almost purchased by us, and there is not much surplus grain left, and now even if you have money, you can't collect it!"

"Not enough, these are far from enough, you must know that Chang'an City has a population of nearly one million, and in the event of a famine, Henan, Hebei and other surrounding provinces will gather towards Chang'an. When the time comes, the number of people will skyrocket, and this million catties of food will not be enough to last for a few days. Qin Feng said to Li Chengqian.

"Qin Feng, it's not that I don't believe you, is it possible that your master made a mistake, will there really be a locust plague next year?" Li Chengqian asked at Qin Feng.

"I don't know if there is one, after all, my master just mentioned it at the beginning, everything depends on this winter, if the weather is warm in winter, there is no snowfall, and the eggs in the fields are not frozen, then there is destined to be a locust plague next year." Qin Feng sighed and said.

"Is there a way to prevent it? If the world is told now to dig up the eggs in the ground, can it be avoided? Without waiting for Qin Feng to finish speaking, Li Chengqian asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng squinted at Li Chengqian: "Did you dig it clean?" What if you declare that the world is in turmoil now? Your Majesty must not cut you and me directly! ”

"What then? Is it just waiting? Li Chengqian looked very eager.

"Wait, you can only wait, wait until the beginning of spring next year to figure out a way!"

Li Chengqian left, with unwillingness. Qin Feng was also very helpless about this, knowing that the locust plague could not be prevented, he could only wait for the matter to be solved, but sometimes manpower really couldn't compete with the natural disaster.

In the following days, several brothers would come to Qinzhuang to find Qin Feng to drink and play mahjong. When no one came, Qin Feng would draw drawings, go to the base to command the craftsmen, and research things to make money. And Li Shimin seems to have forgotten about Qin Feng, and he has never come to Qin Feng.

A heavy snow suddenly fell, this was the first snow of the year, and it was also the largest, accompanied by the cold wind that invaded Chang'an City, this ancient city has experienced so much, and now the wind and frost are just an appetizer for him.

For Qin Feng, this heavy snow represents too much, and there is too little snow this year.

In the days of wind and snow, the streets in Chang'an City are a little empty, and the vendors who usually run and walk have hid in their homes and don't want to go out, comforting themselves in their hearts, the New Year is about to begin, and after a busy year, it is time to let themselves rest for a few days.

Qin Feng was brought to the palace by a holy decree, and followed the eunuch all the way to the palace, and the cold wind seemed to be blocked outside the palace by this palace wall.

The Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace, Qin Feng was brought here because Li Shimin summoned Qin Feng here.

"Minister Qin Feng greets Your Majesty!"

"Get up! Take me for a walk! ”

The two walked slowly in the imperial garden, Qin Feng was behind Li Shimin, thinking in his heart what was the matter with Li Shimin summoning him this time. But Qin Feng didn't dare to ask, so he could only dare to hunch over and walk slowly behind Li Shimin's buttocks.

"Qin Feng, are you afraid of me?"

"Huh? Fear!.. Unafraid! Qin Feng, who didn't react, said the truth directly, you are the emperor, and the companion is like a tiger, in case that will make you unhappy, how can you make me click.

"Can you have a little talent, did you have the courage to kill Wang Jingxuan in the first place?" Li Shimin looked like he hated iron but not steel, and looked at Qin Feng with disgust.

"Don't you see that you are a little nervous, you are like a real dragon above the nine heavens, I am just a loach in the river, how can I have the courage under your majesty!"

"Oh, you kid can also make sycophants!" Li Shimin turned around and kicked Qin Feng, and continued: "Don't talk that nonsense, I ask you, is the locust plague certain?" ”

Qin Feng patted the footprints that Li Shimin kicked on his body, and looked at the lake in front of his face, but the small lake did not freeze because of winter.

"Your Majesty, this winter is too warm this year, you can't freeze the lake within a radius of less than a few miles, how can you freeze the locust eggs deep in the soil? Ruixue Zhao Fengnian's words are not groundless, and when the spring of next year begins, after the locusts grow wings, the overwhelming locusts will devour and eat any crop. ”

When Li Shimin heard Qin Feng say this, he frowned and patted Qin Feng's shoulder.

"I know! I will keep in my heart that you share the burden for the country, and if what you say is true, I will not treat you badly! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You kid, you don't have to be so restrained in the future! Do you have any other way to deal with the locust plague? ”

Qin Feng looked at the lake and thought for a while, and said to Li Shimin: "Chickens and ducks feed on locusts, but now breeding chickens and ducks in large quantities is also a multiple salary, and it will be useless at that time. ”

"Can locusts be eaten??" Li Shimin looked surprised!

"Your Majesty, if you can eat it or not, you have to eat it when the time comes, locusts feed on crops, why can't we feed on locusts, locusts are rich in high protein and very nutritious!"

When Li Shimin heard Qin Feng say, he retched for a while, as if the picture of eating locusts had appeared in his mind, which made this heavenly khan a little disgusted.

"Locusts can be used as medicine, you can also be used as food, after the spring next year, the minister will buy locusts at the price of ten cents per catty, so that the people can catch locusts and come to the minister here to exchange money, when the time comes, I will also send out new dishes in the name of the restaurant, with locusts as the main ingredient to launch a few dishes, and when the locust plague really happens, the people will not have what to fear now."

"That's all there is to it!" After listening to Qin Feng's method, Li Shimin relaxed a little, this is also a way out of the way. This kind of thing can only be said at that time.
