The mountains and forests are the paradise of Li Chengyan and Yang Ting'er, the weather in Guanzhong in August is hot and stuffy, even in the mountains and forests, it is the same, the huge heat evaporates the water in the grass and trees, and the smell of various plants and trees is mixed together Sometimes people feel suffocated, Li Erduan sits on the main seat of the camp tent, the camp tent is a pure wooden barracks, although the house is simple, but the daily necessities are readily available, Yang Tinger and Yan Yan's stomach has been a little bulging, kneeling on the side of Li Er to add water to Li Er.

"It's only been two months since Rushan, these guys can have such results, admit that you have contributed a lot, let's say, let me reward something?" As long as Li Chengyan makes a meritorious service, Li Er will have a headache, the fief is in Chang'an, there is no point in adding a fief, Li Chengyan has not received a grain of grain in the fief, and there is no shortage of silver, Li Chengyan's annual dividends are more than the annual field tax of Datang.

"When my father came to Qinling, did you see those little things jumping among the grass?" Li Chengyan took out a grasshopper from his hand as he spoke, and handed it to Li Er, the current grasshopper has begun to take shape, and it is estimated that it will be able to eat people in another month by the autumn harvest.

"Look, this thing is everywhere, and I have a very big head now" Li Er took a sip of tea, sighed and said, locusts will be plagued after a long drought, and locusts will be plagued for a long time, what Li Er is worried about is not how big the locusts are, what really worries Li Er is the great epidemic after the catastrophe. "What's the solution?"

"Catch! Erchen has prepared three million silver coins, this is all the belongings of Erchen, one penny per catty, as long as it is dried and ground into powder, Erchen will be collected, and it will be replaced with grain, this thing is roasted, grinded, one spoonful each time, three times a day, taken with wine, tetanus, with sugar kimono, to treat children's convulsions, all take this product to treat spasms, rest internal wind, but they are all the treatment of the surface (relieve symptoms) of the method, suitable for the treatment of the root cause of the drug preparation, grasshopper hook vine soup, with ten locusts, three spoons of hook vine, two spoons of mint, add water to decoction, this side to take locusts, Hook vine breathes wind heat, is used for convulsions, fever, convulsions, etc. Grasshopper soup, 30 locusts, add water to decoction, take it three times, take locusts to relieve cough and reduce adversity, relieve asthma, used for whooping cough, cough and shortness of breath, and endlessly. In addition, locust powder plus flour, meat powder can be used as military rations, to treat night blindness, "Li Chengyan has already thought of countermeasures, all its commercial departments, grain, cloth, tea merchants, restaurants, post stations, money villages, grocery stores and all the stores have received Li Chengyan's notice, collect locust powder, how much to need, ten eldest sons three catties, who doesn't catch three or five catties a day? The ten eldest sons did not dare to say that the family should be fed, but they definitely did not starve to death, and these places provided free fishing tools, and all places were lit with bonfires at night, so they did not dare to say how many could be killed, but it was also a good way to catch insects.

"So you got the idea? Our family is not afraid, we are afraid of those imperial historians, the heavens send disasters, it is the virtue of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that those people will take the opportunity to make trouble" Li Er rubbed his head painfully and said to Li Chengyan.

"Hehe, father, I'll eat here today, and I'll make you a dish, absolutely delicious, I don't know if my father dares to try it?" Li Chengyan touched his nose and said.

"Why don't you dare? When did you get bad eating? It's not early, let's go and prepare early" As soon as Li Er's words were finished, Li Chengyan walked out.

Fried locusts, flour and eggs, beaten up, smeared evenly on the locust's body, thrown into the oil pot with aromatic overflowing, sprinkled with some salt and pepper powder when it came out, Yang Ting'er swallowed saliva, Yan Yan and Xu Hui looked at Li Chengyan with disgust, they were not going to eat this thing, the dignified prince ate locusts, if this was spread, a hat that insulted the country would definitely be buckled.

"Crispy, sweet, admittedly good craftsmanship, well, good" Li Er ate this thing in a big gulp, he ate whatever he caught during the war, and he didn't eat less snakes and insects, but he didn't dislike this thing, and several generals didn't pick their mouths, chewing it in big gulps, and it was fragrant. Yang Ting'er had already eaten it, eating it slowly one by one, and Yan Yan and Xu Hui were disgusted when they saw it.

"Don't say it, even if you eat this thing, you may not be able to starve to death" Cheng Yanjin said while eating, Xiao Yu can't do it, the cloudy old eyes have no appetite when they look at this thing, they can't bear it and don't spit it out, seeing that everyone is eating, Xiao Yu reluctantly stuffed one into his mouth, as soon as he entered his mouth, it felt different, this thing looked disgusting, but it tasted delicious.

"The matter of military rations has to be seen, this is not a trivial matter, you make it first, let's try it first, and promote it when it is done" Li Er looked at Li Chengyan with a smile and said, Li Chengyan took a cake from the hand of the guard, and handed a piece to everyone seated.

"Just drink it with hot water, just eat this small piece of a foot, it's easy to swell if you have more" is just an alternative compressed biscuit pressed by a large stone, mixed with some frost, it tastes very sweet, and it is full.

Li Er took a small bite, drank a sip of water, waited for the hard cake to melt and swallowed it, nodded and said, emergency things, go in a hurry, eat a piece, but it is full, so it is decided.

"Xiao Qing, it is proposed that from today onwards, locust powder will be sold nationwide, and as many as you want, you can sell it to the government, as well as tea, sugar, and department stores in each town and county, indicated, ten cents and three catties, how much you want! I don't believe it, but there are more locusts in this world than there is money in my treasury! "If Li Er said this before, he would be strangled to death by people from five surnames and seven families, but since last year's commercial tax was established, Li Er's tax revenue for one year has been the sum of the first year of Wude to the sixth year of Wude, especially the income of the bank, from the mortgage to the exchange of silver has exceeded 30 million yuan, so Li Er is not short of money.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone knelt on the ground, slapping the fart loudly, provoking Li Er to smile, Li Er's will is now accessible in Datang, Li Er naturally will not worry about no supply, the grain in the south is continuously transported to Chang'an three times a year, and then distributed from Chang'an to all over the country, on the basis of the original official warehouse, Li Er has built three large granaries, the entire Datang to a small number of people? There are only 30 million people, even if the locust plague is one more year, Li Er's food is enough to eat!

"Let's go, let's go and see if the new army under pressure is really mighty, or is it a showmanship" Li Er got up and walked outside,

"Blow the assembly trumpet!" Li Chengyan ordered, Wang Zhong informed the people of the prince guard to blow the assembly number, and after a while, everyone stood neatly in front of Li Chengyan.

"Report, a row should be up to 100 people, but it is actually 100 people"

"Report, the second row should be a hundred people, but it is actually a hundred people"

"Report, the third platoon should have reached 100 people, but it was 95 people, and there were 5 absent people" Several small platoon leaders stood upright and knelt down on one knee to report to Li Er and Li Chengyan.

"My father looked at our military appearance and said that we are a fancy shelf, I don't refute it, it's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, whether it's a fancy shelf, let's let them see!" As soon as he said that, he waved his hand and everyone began to practice martial arts, from standing upright, taking a break, to walking in the group, stepping up, from shooting to bomb throwing training, one by one they did it in a good way.

"Hmph, what can you see from this, can you still see how much combat power they have?" It's Cheng biting gold again, Li Chengyan gritted his teeth and said.

"If you don't accept the people who take your Zuo Wuwei to come out to practice, I'll let you have three hundred people, you fight two by one, I'll see if Uncle Cheng's Zuo Wuwei is powerful, or the new army of the prince!" Li Chengyan stared at Cheng Yanjin and said.

"Promise! I think what your Uncle Cheng said is right, such a method of martial arts is really invisible, your new army is heavier than firearms, and it is not good to use your own people to compete" Li Er said on the side, it is true, Li Chengyan's new army is mainly in firearms, and it is only right to cooperate with the surprise attack of the large army.

"The day before yesterday, someone came to report that there were two groups of bandits in Luoyang, the name is Qinglongzhai, and the other is called Baihuzhai, the number of both groups is almost 800 people, originally it was used by Erchen to prepare for military training, if Uncle Cheng wants to see the combat strength of my new army, it is better to test these two groups of bandits" Li Chengyan said to everyone.

"Haha, Lao Cheng, that's your peer, you can do it" Yu Chigong took it as fun to mock Cheng Biting Jin, and Cheng Biting Jin also laughed and said.

"Yu Chi Lao Hei, weren't you just an iron striker before, we did the business of every book back then, but we have never harmed good people, in the words of the prince of Chengyan, we are a thief, haha a thief" Cheng Biting Jin's counterattack made everyone laugh, at that time, it was a luxury to survive, who cares what you do. The silk of Qinglongzhai is the old department of the original Li Jiancheng, the tree is scattered, and it is a group of diehards, so they destroyed the people of the original Qinglongzhai and became the king of the mountain, and the combat power is very strong. Baihu Village is the old department of the original Liu Heida, and the two groups are not far away, so they took advantage of this time to clean up together.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news in Chang'an," Li Er also wanted to see how the new army's combat strength was, but because of official business, he couldn't see it with his own eyes, but Li Er had a lot of confidence in the new army, so he didn't worry about anything.

"The son will not be dishonored!" Li Chengyan bowed to Li Er and said, and then summoned the people of the new army to gather, and after everyone gathered, Li Chengyan ordered

"Order: Tomorrow the third watch cooks, the fifth watch departs, bring all the weapons and equipment, go, specific tasks, each platoon commander will come to me at night! Disband! Li Chengyan's words made everyone's blood boil, the first task is very simple, but for the people of the new army, this is their first task, and it is also to test their achievements in the past two months, how can it not be exciting.

"Glory is my life! Glory to Datang! Li Chengyan beat his chest with his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Glory is my life! Glory to Datang! “

"Glory is my life! Glory to Datang! Haha, take a peek and see the whole leopard, your morale is very high, I will not use you in vain, if you can satisfy me this time, I will not hesitate to reward, I will personally put on the military medal I promised! Li Er also said proudly.

"Use me in the first battle! Use me to win! The people of the new army shouted after Li Chengyan, and the voice echoed in the mountains for a long time, and Li Er and everyone were also stirred by these words.
