The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

"Damn, you forgot such an important thing!"

Chen Qiu's face turned pale. The locust plague, if it were in China more than a thousand years later, would not be a problem at all. In China, locusts would even dare to get together!

Because as long as there are more than three locusts together, it will not matter. Will they be skewered and roasted to eat!

Did the locust plague eat the food and cause great losses to the people?

Sorry, the whole family went out to catch locusts and sold them to restaurants. The money earned was even more than the food harvest!

For example, in a certain One year, an astonishing locust plague emerged from Russia and went all the way south!

In Russia, this locust plague caused immeasurable losses to Russian agriculture, but after arriving in China... well, They didn't even get out of Dongshan Province, and the whole army was wiped out!

The whole family went out to catch locusts. Whether they ate them themselves or sold them to restaurants, it was a pleasure!

Many people made up for their losses by catching locusts, and even made some money.!

This also made people from all over the world know how tough the Chinese people are!

Thinking of this, Chen Qiu calmed down slightly:"Yes, it can be solved by eating, but the problem is not small!"

Caught locusts are indeed edible, but the problem is obvious, that is, people in this era do not eat locusts! Who do you catch and sell them to? If no one wants them, isn't it a waste of effort and the eggs are of no use at all?

Secondly, Even if locusts can be sold and money can be made, what will happen to the food?

This era is not like the era more than a thousand years later, when there will be piles of food and there will be no famine. Now, once the locusts are rampant and the food is damaged, even if locusts are used After making money, there is no food to buy!

In other words, once the locusts eat too much food, then even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food!

After all, the yield is too low!

"Hey, what a headache!"

Chen Qiu mounted his horse and rushed towards the palace, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he was constantly thinking about countermeasures.

Soon after, in the palace...

Li Er was accompanying Queen Changsun to discuss the future husband of Princess Xiangcheng. Three days had passed. Yue, they finally found a few good young masters, but they were not sure about marrying off Princess Xiangcheng.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen, the prosecutor, wants to see you!"

"Chen Qiu?"

Li Er was stunned...

Damn it, why is this kid here?

Didn't he say he was playing in the mud in Liangjiazhuang? Didn't he say he was going to take leave until next year? There are still several months left, why are you back so early?

Li Er His complexion turned dark...

In the past few months of Chen Qiu's absence, the court and even the whole of Chang'an had become much calmer, and Li Er's life gradually became smoother.

At least, Chen Qiu didn't trick him from time to time, which made him less likely to have children. I was very angry, and my mood naturally improved a lot.

But now, that guy is back? Damn it!

Li Er frowned:"Let him in!"

"My concubine, please step aside.……"

Queen Changsun bowed and left……

"His Majesty!"

When Chen Qiu saw Li Er, he slightly cupped his hands and looked solemn.

This look was so different from the cynical look he had before even when he saw Li Er. It was so different! So much so that Li Eryi saw Chen Qiu's expression suddenly gave him a pause in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen and a catastrophe was imminent!

At that moment, Li Er could no longer remain calm and spoke seriously:"Chen Aiqing, you came back suddenly, but...what big thing happened?"

On weekdays, Li Er is indeed very unhappy with Chen Qiu. It's true that this guy always cheats on him... In fact, not many people can feel good about someone who always cheats on him.

But it's just that he's unhappy. He knows very well. When something happens, especially when something big like this happens, Chen Qiu... is definitely the pillar of the country!

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something! Chen

Qiu looked solemnly and looked directly at Li Er:"But before that, I would like to ask, Your Majesty...do you believe me?""

"Believe it or not?

Li Er was stunned:"Why did Chen Aiqing say this?" Of course I believe you!"

(｀ω)!

As long as you don't cheat me, you can say anything!

"Since Your Majesty believes it, I will say so. Chen Qiu spoke very quickly:"Within half a month at the latest, an alarming locust plague will break out in the Tang Dynasty!""

"Wherever the locust plague passes, the people have no harvest and suffer heavy losses!"

"If this problem is not solved in advance, the winter in Datang this year will be... dangerous!"

Chen Qiu is not alarmist, but it is true!

According to historical records, the impact of this locust plague is extremely far-reaching, and even directly affects the war in the coming year!

In the cold winter season, many people have no food because of the locust plague. , starved to death in the streets and alleys, and the roads were frozen to death!

"Locust plague?

Li Er frowned and said hesitantly:"Chen Aiqing, where did you... get this news?""

It's not that he doesn't trust Chen Qiu, but this news is really ridiculous.

Can the locust plague be predicted?

If this thing doesn't break out, who knows when they will appear and when they will disappear. ?

And Chen Qiu also said so clearly that within half a month at the latest...

Are you a god? Can you even predict the time when the locust plague will appear?

Li Er obviously doesn't believe it...

It's not that he doesn't trust Chen Qiu, but this The credibility of the matter sounds really low.

But Chen Qiu slowly shook his head:"Is it news? I said it came from a wandering alchemist. Do you believe it or not?"

Chen Qiu knows very well that the locust plague will inevitably break out, and it will definitely not take half a month. It has even broken out now!

Because if it breaks out again after half a month, the food everywhere will be mature. Even if it breaks out, If there is a locust plague, the losses will not be too great!

It is estimated that the locust plague will break out in the past few days to cause large-scale losses and plunge the entire Tang Dynasty into a crisis of food shortage!

Therefore, even if it is unreasonable to know this news Talking at night, he could only come to Li Er to explain.

As for the reason...it seemed that only this alchemist could make sense!

"Alchemist again……"

Li Er had a headache.

What about a sorcerer?

You said before that the grain seeds with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per acre came from alchemists, but now I don’t know how many people are waiting to see the joke!

Now, why don't you drag me along to embarrass you? Are you asking me, a great person like me, to listen to the alchemist?

But he couldn't refuse. Suddenly, he had a severe headache.

"Your Majesty, you still don’t trust me?"

Chen Qiu grinned, shook his head slowly, and sighed quietly.

"It’s not that I don’t trust you, Chen Aiqing, don’t get me wrong."Li Er really had a headache. At this moment, he could only say helplessly:"I don't trust that alchemist.……"

"After all, the so-called alchemists are liars nine times out of ten and cannot be trusted at all.……"
