Zhao Yuanjing said: "How could I have not, I have issued orders many times, and officials in various places have also encouraged the people to hunt locusts. But you don't know how ignorant the people are, and many people think that the locusts are a punishment sent by the gods, and they dare not eat them at all. ”

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you say, if you give a poor man a penny, will he dare to eat a locust?" ”

Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "Probably dare." I know what you mean, but there are so many locusts, and the court doesn't have that much money to reward you with. ”

"Stupid or not, who said that a penny is worth one? What if it's a pound and a penny? ”

"You mean, give the money to motivate the people to catch locusts?"

"That's right, but it's not a reward, it's the court's acquisition of locusts." Yun Dai said with a smile, "By the pound, a penny is a pound." I want to see if the people who think that locusts are gods will go to catch Huang Chonggao for silver. In fact, locusts can be used in medicine, and fried is also a delicacy. ”

Zhao Yuanjing smiled: "Except for you, no one can think of such a ghost idea." ”

Yun Dai was modest: "Wherever and where, I am also picking up the wisdom of future generations." ”

In fact, it is best to use medicine to treat insects, but now pesticides are not within the scope of Yundai's invention.

She doesn't have that ability.

Who can do it......

Probably good at making poison as cold as frost work?

Yun Dai touched her chin, wondering when to find Leng Rushuang and discuss with her the matter of cooperating in the development of pesticides and fertilizers.

"My eyes are purring, what are you thinking?" Zhao Yuanjing pinched her face, "Seeing that you are so smart, why don't you talk about it again, what about the affairs over there in Tubo?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm not a god, I really can't help such a thing as drought on the grassland."

"What about livestock?"

"Those who have the plague must be buried, not eaten, or kept to spread to other cattle or sheep."

The herdsmen understand this. The key point is that the grasslands are dry this year, there is not enough water and grass for cattle and sheep to eat, and many people have died of starvation. Zhao Yuanjing sighed, "Don't talk about the herdsmen, even if I look at it, it hurts." ”

Yun Dai said: "Starving cattle and sheep can be eaten." It's not infected, can't it be thrown away in vain? ”

"I just praised you for being smart, but this time I'm confused again. How many days can dead beef and mutton last when the weather is getting warmer? No matter how much the herders eat, they can't eat for a month. ”

Yun Dai frowned and thought for a long time, and slapped the table: "Then use salt to pickle." When it is made into cured meat, the storage time can be greatly extended. ”

"You know how expensive salt is, especially in Tibet, where salt is meant to be eaten. Are herders willing to use a lot of salt to make cured meat? ”

Yun Dai smiled: "If it's something else, that's it." This is a trivial matter for my Yun Kee firm. ”

"Why, Yunji's business has gone to Tibet?"

Yun Dai said proudly: "Coincidentally, last month, I discussed with Gu Chengan to open the transportation channel over there in Tubo, and Kaiyun scored over there." ”

Zhao Yuanjing was pleasantly surprised: "In this way, if you want to transport things over there, it's not so difficult?" ”

"That's right. I'm still thinking about the first shipment, what to do. It just so happened that all the salt was transported, and it was taken to Tibet to exchange meat with local herdsmen, and then transported back to sell. Tubo beef and sheep are delicious, and there must be many people who are willing to buy and taste them at a high price. ”

"That's a great idea."

Zhao Yuanjing was happy in his heart, held Yun Dai's face, and kissed him fiercely, "Dai'er, you are really my lucky star!" ”
