"Your Majesty, isn't you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale? Tell the Imperial Physician to come and have a look. ”

Empress Changsun asked Li Shimin.

Before Empress Changsun said this, the eunuch next to her immediately stepped back and prepared to turn around and call the imperial doctor.

Li Shimin stopped the waiter.

Shaking his head, he said, "What Fan Jingjing said is too disgusting. Can you eat fried bugs? ”

Empress Eldest Sun, her face also turned pale, and she whispered to Li Shimin:

"They seem to have eaten it, they said it was actually quite delicious, and when the skin was peeled off, the whole thing became white and golden, and they didn't think it was a bug."

"You can't eat it! It's nonsense! Did they feel unwell after eating? ”

"It's just that some are timid and disgusting, others think it's nothing, and even think that locusts can be a delicacy.

It seems that this is no different from people who like to eat monkey brains and bear paws? ”

"Can it really be used as food for people? The people won't accept it, right? ”

"If this locust plague happens later, it will be a real disaster for the people, and although it has affected the sowing season, as long as the locusts are eliminated, there will still be a harvest."

"I'm afraid they don't have any seeds in their hands, because they usually keep some grains for the next season's seeds, and they don't need to buy anything else. There are no seeds to buy, which is a very big load for them. ”

"It's up to the imperial court to send the seeds, right? At least survive the season. ”

"That's all it can be."

"But this year's drought is there...... The people who have no food will be starved to death. It has no effect on those rich and big landlords. ”

"It has a great impact on the people of Chang'an City, because many people do not farm outside and usually need to go to the grain store to buy some grain. If the price of food rises, they will not survive, and they will have to borrow money from loan sharks. ”

"Our court has a sum of money to lend, but we are lending some reputable merchants, if the money can't be recovered, it will be a big deal. It will affect the expenditure of the imperial court. ”

"The imperial court and the people of Chang'an are indeed in a dilemma......," Empress Changsun said with a smile, and then said goodbye to Li Shimin and left.

After all, the affairs of the court are not something that the queen can participate in, and her main business is to maintain the stability of the harem.

When she needed her mother to come forward, she dressed up gracefully and luxuriously, appeared in front of everyone, as the mother of the world, what she had to do was to feed the people of the world.

Therefore, she has to take care of Sinong Temple, and she attaches special importance to it, which belongs to all departments of the palace, both to the outer court and the inner court, which she can control.

She also knew that Fan Jingjing had pulled people out, which had reduced the pressure on Sinong Temple, and at the same time, Empress Eldest Sun was also curious about how Fan Jingjing would use these people.

Through the palace maids who followed the prince and the princess out, the news from Fan Jingjing's side will also be left in the ears of the eldest grandson.

What's more, every time Li Lizhi returns to the palace, she has endless words every time.

made Li Chengqian envious.

"I'll be sure to follow ...... next time I'm on vacation."

"Although Niangniang said that there was a great drought in the world, the crops in the teacher's field were growing very well. The most hateful thing is that the locusts will infest the fields to some extent, but the teacher raises a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, and he can eat the locusts every day.

And does Teacher Jingjing really use locusts as food? Let those children catch worms, they will use various methods to make edible food.

Even they didn't peel off the shells, they just ground them into powder.

And even the outside world really began to buy these locusts. But she only needs the freshest dead locusts, and she doesn't want to beat them flat. Although it can only be exchanged for a small amount of food, it is not without help for the affected villages.

There were many people in the mountains, and they all came out to exchange locusts for food. ”

Empress Eldest Sun was very surprised, it turned out that Fan Jingjing's suggestion to the emperor was not nonsense, but what she was really doing.

"What does she dry and grind locusts into powder for?"

"Raising fish, chickens, ducks, livestock, children who are about the same age as us, can't do the heavy work in the fields, and most of them are responsible for these breeding work. I heard that they also selected people who would be especially good at raising as small leaders. The number of points received every day is very large. ”

"Mother, we also formed a team to participate in breeding."

Li Ke and Li Xing were also called to the eldest grandson's palace to talk. At this time, Li Xing also interjected.

Now Li Xing's face is flushed, and there is a big difference from the original pale appearance.

It seems that these labors have made great progress for her, and Li Ke and Li Xing sometimes do not return to the palace, and live directly in Fan Jingjing's house.

Since there is no mother at home, they have a little more freedom than others.

For these pale children, participating in production has a sense of accomplishment, and they feel that there is still hope for their future selves, even if their parents and queens do not love themselves, they can still survive by raising some chickens and ducks.

Every night, Fan Jingjing's farm will light a lot of bonfires, the existence of these overfires, not only can avoid the infestation of wild beasts, but also can bar, many insects are killed, in the daytime, all kinds of chickens, ducks and geese will go around the place where these insects are killed to eat.

Fan Jingjing thinks that the most delicious thing is eggs, so he talks about chickens the most, and duck eggs can be made into salted duck eggs and stored for a long time, so he raises more ducks.

Although the goose eggs grow relatively big, they taste fishy, and Fan Jingjing doesn't raise a lot.

Only occasionally swimming, it looks like a beautiful landscape on the water, and for this reason, Fan Jingjing raised some geese.

People in Datang don't like to eat pork, but prefer to eat sheep, so the price of mutton is higher than other meats.

Fan Jingjing let the child raise a lot of lambs, but unfortunately even if it is a lamb, the price is still relatively expensive, and Fan Jingjing has no way to buy too much.

Her food is too useful to be consumed quickly, and she has to wait until the harvest.

She knew that there were still many things that needed to be exchanged for food in the coming period.

Therefore, most of the items she went to the grass market outside Chang'an City to sell were wild things picked up from traps set in the wild.

Her chickens haven't grown yet, and even laying eggs is a problem.

Fortunately, there are many pheasants in the wild, and picking wild eggs has become one of the achievements of children.

Ever since they were taught how to set traps, they have become the main force in trap-setting.

"Niangniang, all the people in Teacher Fan's family must read and write, but most of their reading and literacy time is to use the dawn and early morning and evening time.

They seem to collect the leaves of the black tree, boil the leaves and sprinkle them around, saying that they can kill insects. ”

After the prince and the princess came back, they liked to surround the queen and tell the queen what they saw and heard, and the queen would always let the palace maids next to her record it.

They feel a great sense of accomplishment in this kind of small report, and they know that the queen seems to want to record what they have learned and seen, and analyze whether they have any intention to promote it in Datang.

"Niangniang, isn't the Shuiyun Palace where the teacher was born great? Why do they know so much? We only have the world, and we should get the talents of the world for our own use, but why did we never know the existence of Shuiyun Palace? ”

Li Chengqian also likes to come to the eldest grandson queen at this time to listen to it, although he can't be by Fan Jingjing's side, but he doesn't want to appear too ignorant.

Of course, there is another important reason, because what happens around Fan Jingjing is always very fresh, even if it is farming and raising chickens, it seems to be a little different from others farming and raising chickens.

"Niangniang, why are those people useless to the Forestry Department, but they can burst out with such a large amount of production energy in Teacher Fan's house?

I heard the royal sister say that now the pheasants caught by these children and the wild eggs they picked up are enough to make up for Fan Jingjing's expenses for them to eat.

Moreover, those old people always look weak in the Shanghai Forestry Department, but when they go to Mr. Fan's farmland, they seem to be able to manage a larger land than most farmers......"

"I know, I know, they are divided and cooperated when they are producing in the field, and people with a lot of strength can do things that require a lot of strength, while people who don't have strength can do things that don't require strength, but require some skills.

And they are not planting a piece of land alone, but everyone works together to develop all the land, and what they get from their work is a brand of points, and with this brand of points, they can exchange all kinds of things they need with Fan Jingjing.

It is said that because Teacher Fan buys things, every time she buys in large quantities, the women she sends out to buy are always able to bargain fiercely, but those businessmen like to do business with Teacher Fan, and some even take the initiative to come to the door to let Teacher Fan buy goods and then deliver them to the door. ”

"They sent it over, in fact, not only to sell, but also to approve some goods with Mr. Fan."

"I know, I know. At first, the teacher sold matches, but one after another they sold more and more things, except for some mountain products, they sold soap and insecticidal water. ”

Empress Eldest Sun felt that she had heard something she didn't understand again.

"What is a match? What is Soap? ”

The prince and the princess introduced the matches and soap they knew to the eldest grandson and queen to know.

Li Lizhi touched it directly into her arms and said, "Because I behave well, I always give me a box of matches." I'll show it to my mother. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Lizhi lit the match. The match was lit for about half a minute, and after a gust of wind blew, it went out.

Li Qi blushed and said, "I also got this reward of soap, and Teacher Jingjing thinks that my female celebrity has done a very good job." ”

"What is soap?" Empress Eldest Sun asked Li Qi gently.

"Soap can be used for bathing, but also for washing hands. It can remove some dirty things, and the fragrant one is very comfortable to use, much better than soap.

Mother, this is my gift to you. ”

Empress Eldest Sun did not refuse and accepted Li Qi's gift.

Li Chengqian's envy and hatred were not for his mother to get soap, but for other brothers and sisters to be able to access these new items.

"Mother, I want to study too...... I feel like if I don't study, I'm going to be left behind. ”

"Silly boy, these are actually the study of things, and what you need to learn is not the study of things."

"The study of things can make people's lives better, but I don't know the study of things, what is the reason? Isn't it a royal knowledge to make the people better? ”

Li Chengqian continued to argue with Empress Changsun for various reasons, and finally he said: "My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it will take a long time to inherit the throne.

However, there are many things that other royal sisters, royal brothers, and younger brothers and sisters have learned, and they must be studied at a young age to be able to learn. I heard that when I grow up, if I want to learn math, I will be slow. ”

"Hasn't Lizi been teaching you math?" Empress Changsun actually knew Li Chengqian's true purpose.

But she didn't think Fan Jingjing was a good concubine. As for the position of the main wife, there is no way to do it without a certain family background.

What's more, Empress Changsun knew that Fan Jingjing and Niu Shijin were very entangled.

How can such a woman be suitable to be the crown princess of the Tang Dynasty?

She felt that the main reason why Fan Jingjing was not suitable to be the crown princess was that Fan Jingjing's personality was too out-of-the-box, and she did not abide by the general norms, and it could even be said that she was not very familiar with the general norms.

Even when she sent the palace maid to teach, the palace maid's feedback was Fan Jingjing, and she had no intention of learning at all.

"It can be felt that she has a very rebellious psychology towards female virtue."

Empress Eldest Sun always felt that something was wrong with Fan Jingjing.

Despite her feminine appearance, she behaves in a male-biased manner.

She doesn't depend on anyone, and when she asks for your help, she will give you something that she considers equivalent.

As for what she asks for from the Niu family, she also has a corresponding return. I couldn't see what her return was, but now no one can say that she doesn't have any feedback to the Niu family.

As for Niu Shijin's kindness to her, Fan Jingjing seems to think that Niu Shijin owes her. She is already very good without a high-ranking official.

In fact, it was useless for Fan Jingjing to sue the official, when that happened, Fan Jingjing was not a Tang person and was not protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Savages are similar to wild beasts in the wild.

"You really just want to learn?"

"......" Li Chengqian opened his mouth, but there was no way to tell a lie to his mother. However, his longing eyes kept on the eldest grandson empress.

Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, "You go with Lizhen!" Build an East Palace Pavilion outside the Fan family manor. In the future, after the school opens a dormitory, you can't live in the manor, you have to live in the East Palace Hotel. At night, you must ask the teacher at the East Palace Hotel to teach you for you. ”
