After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin turned around and asked, "What is Sir's method?" ”

Because there are too many negative effects brought about by this incident, Li Shimin now uses the word "Mr."

Li Yunxiao immediately replied: "Eat!" ”

"Eat?"

"Don't you eat locusts?"

"That's right, it's locust eating!"

Li Shimin was stunned.

What kind of solution is this?

Eating locusts? Who to eat? Civilians or officers and soldiers?

Not to mention the people, even an emperor like Li Shimin, who has been baptized in blood on the battlefield, would never think of eating such a thing!

Li Shimin glanced at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the locusts taste very delicious, and the minister has already eaten them. ”

"You've already eaten it?"

Now Li Shimin was even more surprised.

This Li Chunfeng is a person who likes to eat food and wine, and he will try to eat locusts himself.

But even so, he still didn't believe it in his heart.

Li Yunxiao stretched out his hand, and Li Shimin naturally reacted normally, handing over the locusts he had just caught to him.

Li Yunxiao looked at Yuan Tiangang, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Tiangang comprehended, and the palm of his hand condensed a golden internal force, which was hot enough to roast the locusts.

But before he could fully release his internal force, Li Shimin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Let me come!"

Li Shimin's purple-gold internal force was released, and the locusts were cooked in less than a few seconds.

"Eat!"

Li Shimin handed the locust to Li Yunxiao.

Although the tone was a little stiff, Li Yunxiao still felt quite refreshed, how is the emperor? At least the current emperor rushed to roast a locust for him.

Under Li Shimin's surprised gaze, Li Yunxiao put the locust in his mouth and squeaked and ate it.

"Hmm~~ The locusts baked with His Majesty's internal force taste is more fragrant than fried, but it is a little lighter, if you add some seasoning, tsk tsk...."

"What does it smell like?" Li Shimin asked with some curiosity.

"Xiang, really, Your Majesty, do you want to try it."

Yuan Tiangang poked him behind him: "It's good to use honorifics, how can you call me by you?!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand: "It's okay!" ”

Then he looked at Li Yunxiao and shook his head.

"Ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

"These locusts have hideous and ugly faces, and their behavior is even more hateful and disgusting to the people of the world, plundering the people's food, causing the people of the world to live in misery."

"This disgusting worm, no one wants to touch it except children, and you dare to eat it?"

Li Shimin approached Li Yunxiao, as if he wanted to see from the other party's eyes whether he was lying.

"Why don't you dare to eat it? If they eat my food, then I will eat them, they have food in their stomachs, and if I eat them, it is equivalent to eating food, what's wrong? ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt speechless for a while.

This makes sense, but I always feel that something is weird.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and shouted: "Call me Cheng Biting Jin!" ”

The eunuch who was standing in the distance answered and left.

After less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yanjin ran over laughing.

"Look, I'll just use my method, do you want me to take someone to set fire?"

"Fart!" Li Shimin is not a good tone.

In a quarter of an hour, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and Li Yunxiao caught more than a dozen locusts.

Then Li Shimin personally roasted all of them, just for fear of things like dropping the bag, and then handed it over to Cheng Yanjin.

"Eat!"

"What? Tell me to eat it!? ”

"That's right, do you eat or not?" The corners of Li Shimin's mouth showed a trace of curvature, looking very dangerous.

Li Yunxiao sighed on the side, this guy obviously didn't believe him, and he was looking for someone to inspect the goods.

"This...."

Cheng Yanjin took the three locusts, and looking at the hideous appearance of the locusts, he was a little afraid to speak.

But I sniffed close to the tip of my nose, and this roasted smell did smell good.

"Forget it! I'm fighting! ”

With a loud shout, Cheng Biting Jin closed his eyes, put the three locusts into his mouth, and then squeaked and ate them.

It doesn't matter if you eat it, Cheng Yanjin immediately opened his eyes and glared at the boss!

"No, no, no, I didn't taste it!"

He glanced at the remaining locusts in Li Shimin's hand, and grabbed them directly.

Li Shimin didn't stop him, and let him take it all.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin laughed unconsciously.

I can eat it!

Cheng Yanjin didn't know how to do it before, but since he followed him, he has a lot of picky appetite, and this locust can enter his mouth, and he still shows this gluttony, absolutely can't be wrong!

"Hey, hey, eat slowly, that's where it goes, if you find me good ingredients, I can turn locusts into delicacies, and it's not impossible to turn them into dishes for trade."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What materials do you need?"

Li Yunxiao raised three fingers: "Sesame, cumin, chili powder." ”

After these things were described, Li Shimin nodded.

"Cumin, it's benzoin fennel, when I was trading with the Western Regions, my subordinates received some, and there are chili peppers ground into powder, but what is this sesame seed?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask, but Li Yunxiao was directly confused.

Don't know sesame? Then he didn't know what sesame was called.

At this time, Li Chunfeng on the side smiled and said, "Brother Yunxiao said sesame, but it's flax?" ”

"It's the white, tiny kind?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it!" Li Yunxiao shouted excitedly.

Li Shimin smiled lightly: "Huma, naturally there are also, when do you want it?" ”

"The sooner the better, after getting it, you still need Your Majesty's cooperation, if it is feasible, this locust plague will not only not become a disaster, but will also make the people's lives better!"

"It's just that there may be some small sacrifices for this kind of thing."

When Li Shimin heard this, his face sank.

After a while, he asked in a condensed voice, "But do you want me to eat this locust in front of the people?" ”

Li Yunxiao hesitated, this guy is really smart, but why does his face change so fast?

Yuan Tiangang took a step forward at this time, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, if you want the people to accept it, I'm afraid this is the most practical way." ”

Li Chunfeng also lowered his body and said, "That's true." ”

"Oh, it's just a locust, I don't even think I have enough of it now!"

Cheng bit Jin and smashed his mouth, as if he was reminiscing.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was contemplating.

"Someone!"

"Your Majesty."

The eunuch came over at this time.

Li Shimin said in a flat tone: "Spread my message, and the civil and military officials immediately put down what they were doing and went to the people to catch locusts!" ”

"Since I want to eat, I can't eat it alone, everyone has to accompany me to eat!"

At this time, Li Yunxiao spoke: "Your Majesty, otherwise, let's mobilize the people to arrest together, right?" ”

Li Shimin was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"I don't know how powerful the civil and military officials are, but they should not be as happy as the people when they catch locusts."

"Moreover, after the people catch the locusts, we can buy them, and then make them into finished products, so that the people can taste them together, and then we can not only satisfy the appetite, but also eliminate the locust plague, and make up for the losses of the people, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yunxiao and laughed.

"It is worthy of being recommended by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, you say it well!"

"If this matter is settled, what reward do you want, I! All promised you! ”

There can be a solution, and Li Shimin's mood instantly improved.

Li Yunxiao's heart also blossomed, this take-off was too fast, he even felt a little unreal!

Soon, Li Shimin ordered his subordinates to spread the message everywhere, saying that the purchase of locusts would cost ten cents a catty.

At the same time, he invited the people to taste locusts in a place south of the palace in a day's time.

Yuan Tiangang agrees with Li Shimin's decision very much, as an emperor, many things naturally have to be tried by example.

"It seems that Your Majesty has decided to eat locusts."

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are also teachers and friends to Li Shimin, they are not only monarchs and ministers, but also masters and apprentices.

Li Shimin nodded, and casually caught another locust.

"The people regard food as their life, and the locusts eat it, and it is harmful to the people."

"The people are guilty, and all those sins are on me alone, so what am I afraid of!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin didn't bake it, so he threw it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

Li Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

This is the emperor, no wonder so many people like to follow Li Shimin, if they didn't know what Li Shimin was like, even he would be captured by the other party's personality charm.

"In this case, the ministers will retire first, and tomorrow, the ministers will eat locusts in front of the people with Your Majesty!"

The three of them gave a salute, Li Shimin nodded, and let a few people leave.

....

As soon as this news came out, the entire Chang'an City was boiling.

"Hey, Zhang San, have you heard? Tomorrow the emperor will personally eat locusts in front of us! ”

"I've heard about it for a long time, but you only know it now, my son and his mother have gone out to catch locusts, and I have to hurry up!"

"Alas, what are you going to do with that?"

"You just know that the emperor wants to eat locusts, why don't you know that people collect locusts, five wen a catty, a lot, go quickly!"

The common people soon scattered to catch locusts, they didn't know if the emperor would eat them, but they earned a pound of five cents!

....

Yuan Tiangang's residence is relatively remote, not in the city, and the courtyard is not large, but the decoration is elegant, and the pavilion is close to the mountains and rivers.

Because the terrain is relatively high, standing in the pavilion, the Chang'an City below is in your eyes, and you can see it at a glance.

"Brother Yunxiao, have you thought about what reward you want from Your Majesty?"

Li Chunfeng made tea on the side, poured a cup for Li Yunxiao and Yuan Tiangang and asked.

Li Yunxiao said lightly: "I originally wanted something, but now I don't want anything." ”

"Nothing?"

At this moment, Li Yuan and Yuan were both stunned.

Li Chunfeng was puzzled: "Why? ”

Li Yunxiao said with a smile: "He changed his face like turning a book, and he was unlucky, but I was still alone, and I secretly developed comfortably with the two of you." ”

"Shh~~~"

Li Chunfeng came up and covered Li Yunxiao's mouth.

"The emperor is full of luck, how can he be unlucky? Beware of the walls with ears! ”
