Luoyang, the inner palace of the palace, Liu Hong continued to speak to Zhang Rang and He Jin.

This time, He Jin and Zhang Rang were summoned to come, not only for the reason for the defeat of Huangfu Song, but more importantly, to deal with the locust plague in Luoyang.

A locust plague, also known as a locust plague, refers to a catastrophe caused by locusts. Large numbers of locusts devoured the fields, completely destroying agricultural products, causing severe economic losses and famine due to food shortages.

Locusts like to be warm and dry, and locust plagues often accompany severe droughts.

The impact of the emergence of locust plagues is extremely large, and an adult locust can eat almost 2 grams of food a day.

If 360 billion locusts eat with their stomachs open, it will be 720 million kilograms and 720,000 tons!! And the average person only needs to eat about 400 grams of grain per day. Can you calculate how much food so many locusts eat in a day?

And the locust thing, it didn't eat this piece of land, it stayed here and didn't move.

Locusts can fly 100 to 150 kilometers a day, even if they fly against the wind.

Basically, where the locusts pass, they can be eaten in an hour or two, which is why locust plagues, floods and droughts have become the three major agricultural disasters.

Therefore, the locust plague in Luoyang made Liu Hong very headache, if the locust plague could not be solved in time, all the fields in Luoyang would be eaten up, and Luoyang would also face the scene of famine.

"This locust plague in Luoyang, good ministers can have a way."

Liu Hong said to the two people in the audience.

He Jin and Zhang Rang looked at each other, but they didn't come to a result, and they also had a headache for the locust plague in the city.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking to see you outside the palace."

The eunuch outside the door walked in to give a report.

When Liu Hong heard that the eldest princess was coming, a trace of joy flashed in his heart.

This eldest princess is Liu Hong's sister, named Liu Xian, but this Liu Xian has been sick since she was a child and almost died. However, one day auspicious rain fell from the sky, and Liu Xian's body and bones were healed all of a sudden.

"Invite the eldest princess in."

He Jin and Zhang Rang heard the eldest princess outside the door asking to see each other, and they looked at each other, this Luoyang is now Zhang Rang and He Jin on the bright side, but this eldest princess has been in charge of the royal treasury since this month, and there is a faint rise in the situation, but this He Jin and Zhang Rang did not dare to openly speak out and seize the power of this Liu Xian.

"Meet the Imperial Brother !!"

As soon as Liu Xian arrived, Liu Hong directly gave her a seat. "My sister must have a purpose for this trip, right?"

Liu Hong's eyes were dim, and he asked Liu Xian, this Liu Xian and Liu Hong are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, so they are naturally much closer than other royal families.

Moreover, since Liu Xian's body recovered two months ago, she said to Liu Hong that although Liu Xian is a woman, Liu Xian's ideas are very advanced, although some suggestions cannot be accepted and adopted by Liu Hong, that is, the appointment of female officials.

However, some of Liu Xian's opinions were still very pertinent, so Liu Hong handed over the power of the imperial treasury to Liu Xian.

One of the reasons for handing over the royal treasury to Liu Xian is that Liu Xian's business acumen is very good, and she has opened many restaurants in Luoyang City, and has also pioneered the research and development of a bathing object, called soap. As soon as this soap was launched, it was robbed by Luoyang's precious people, and it was sold out in just one hour.

"Brother Huang, I came here to solve Brother Huang's worries, the locust plague in Luoyang."

Liu Xian said slowly, and then she took out a jade bottle and offered it.

"What is this?"

Liu Hong took it from the eunuch, and then opened the jade bottle and smelled it, it was full of fragrance, which made Liu Hong intoxicated. "Could it be that this is the perfume that my sister has been developing these days?"

Liu Xian has not been idle for a day since she recovered, first developing soap and later perfume.

It is precisely because the things developed by Liu Xian are very useful, and they have made a lot of money for Liu Hong, which makes Zhang Rang feel threatened, but Zhang Ran does not dare to openly argue with Liu Xian, after all, he does not have as many whimsical ideas as Liu Xian, and there are so many ideas for development.

"Exactly!"

Liu Xian nodded, indicating that this was the perfume, and then said slowly.

"However, this is not the solution to the locust plague in Luoyang."

"Then what is the object to solve the locust plague in Luoyang?"

Liu Hong thought that this perfume could solve the locust plague, but when he heard this Liu Xian say no, he asked with some doubts.

Speaking of perfumes, Liu Xian has been thinking about developing better ones these days, but the roses cultivated by this big man today are really of poor quality, so the perfume developed is also very poor.

"Is it you, Brother Huang?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Hong felt puzzled, but even He Jin and Zhang Rang were also in a state of confusion.

"What do you mean by that, sister?"

Liu Hong asked directly.

"The royal brother should know the harm of this locust, but the imperial brother does not know that this locust is a great supplement. Therefore, I ordered my men to catch some and make some locust dishes. ”

Liu Xian has also extracted a lot of lard from pork these days, and then directly started the era of cooking, which has also made Liu Xian's restaurants gain a lot.

As soon as there was a locust plague in Luoyang, Liu Xian directly thought that this locust could also be eaten directly.

"Bring it in."

Liu Hong trusts his sister very much, and the food developed by Liu Xian's restaurant is very delicious, which makes Liu Hong love it very much.

In a short time, the dish made by the locusts was served, and the locusts were mostly fried and peppered aside.

Liu Xian personally used the fried locusts, dipped them in pepper, and then handed them to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong looked at the fried locust, hesitated for a long time, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and Zhang Rang and He Jin on the side also cast curious eyes.

This Liu Hong chewed in his mouth, because it was also freshly fried, and the lard also swam around Liu Hong's mouth.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious, Liangchen, you and the two of you can also taste it."

Liu Hong couldn't wait to ask Liu Xian to hand him another fried locust.

He Jin and Zhang Rang also hesitated, imitated Liu Xian's approach, and then ate one, which also made the two of them feel delicious.

In a short time, the dozen or so fried locusts were consumed by the three of them.

"As long as the imperial brother eats this locust in front of the people of Luoyang, and then orders the people to eat the locusts as well, this Luoyang locust plague will be directly solved."

As soon as Liu Xian finished speaking, Liu Hong nodded directly to indicate that this method was feasible, and then Liu Hong asked He Jin and Zhang Rang.

"Liangchen, what do you and the others think?"

"The minister seconded the !!"

"The minister seconded the !!"

He Jin and Zhang Rang had no opinion, and they also felt that Liu Xian's fried locusts were very delicious, and they even had to eat them later.

"Then Liangchen, you wait for the two of you, go down first to arrange this matter."
