The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

"this……"Li Er's face darkened, and when he got down to business, he immediately got into the mood:"I wouldn't have believed a word of it before, but after seeing the amazing yield of potatoes, I felt that the alchemist must be a great person.!"

"His words are 80 to 90% credible!"

"Eighty or ninety percent? That's it.

Chen Qiu nodded:"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how to deal with the locust plague perfectly?""

"How to deal with this? Li Er smiled bitterly:"Harvesting food in advance is the way to minimize losses. Other means can only be said to be to maintain stability!""

"To maintain the stability of the people's hearts, the court is looking for ways to provide disaster relief. This has always been the case for us in the face of such natural disasters."

What can be done?

In fact, Li Er is really having a headache at the moment.

Harvest in advance? How much can be harvested? This is a question! After all, it takes time to convey the message and harvest.

So what happens after the harvest? Even if you are lucky enough, you can take it back Fifty percent of the food, but still less than 50%!

Fifty percent of the food!

At least one-fifth to one-quarter of the Tang Dynasty's population must starve to death!

Most of the remaining people will also have to starve, but It's just starvation...

After all, the food output in this era is very low!

Therefore, Li Er has a headache, a very big headache, and he doesn't know what to do to solve the problem perfectly.

It is precisely because of this that he even had potatoes. Regardless, I want to return to the palace in time to think about how to maintain stability.

"Why are you talking about this? Li Er suddenly reacted:"Didn't you say you wanted to tell me a story?""

"certainly……"

Chen Qiu smiled:"I do have a story to tell your Majesty."

"This story is actually quite a coincidence.……"

"Once upon a time, there was a powerful dynasty, but it suffered a huge locust plague that had never happened in a century!"

"Wherever the locust plague passes, there is almost no food harvest. The people are in dire straits, have no food, and are homeless!"

"There are corpses of people who died of starvation everywhere! Grass roots, tree bark... almost everything that could be eaten was eaten by people, thousands of miles away!

Li Er's face gradually became solemn:"What do you want to say?""

How could Li Er not know how terrible the locust plague is?

To a certain extent, in ancient times when food production was low, locust plague represented famine! What does famine represent?

Dead people! Dead people! Still dead people!

Obviously, Chen Qiu is talking about a person The story, in fact, is... reflecting the current situation in the Tang Dynasty!

It's impossible for Li Er not to hear this!

"Your Majesty, please hear me out."

Chen Qiu said with a smile:"But, in that dynasty, there was a holy king……"

Holy King?

Hearing these two words, Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a little moved.

Li Er's long-cherished wish is for a wise king, a holy king!

At this moment, he suddenly became interested in the 'Holy Lord' in Chen Qiu's story... What would the Holy Lord do?

Li Er knew very well that now, what Chen Qiu said the 'saint king' would do was what Chen Qiu wanted him to do!

Otherwise, he wouldn't go to such trouble to tell a story

"That holy king saw that the locust plague was raging, causing the entire half of the dynasty to live in dire straits, and even the locust plague was still continuing. This was hard for him to accept, and at the same time he was extremely angry!"

"So, one day, he faced the locust plague!"

"Facing the overwhelming locusts, he spoke forcefully and with full domineering attitude!"

"locust? Natural disaster?"

"People rely on grain as their livelihood, and if you eat it, it will harm the people. The common people have made mistakes, but for one person, he has a spirit, but it should damage my heart and do no harm to the common people."

Then, the holy king caught a locust and swallowed it instantly!

A minister stopped him in shock:"Your Majesty, this locust is a disaster. Your Majesty's dragon body may get sick!""

"But the sage said: I wish to avert the disaster, why should I avoid it?"

"From then on, either God was moved, or this holy king really averted the disaster, the locust plague... no more!"

After Chen Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Li Er with a smile...

What he was telling was actually the story of Tang Taizong swallowing locusts in unofficial historical records!

Chen Qiu didn't know what the specific situation was at that time, and he didn't even know what Tang Taizong was. Has he ever swallowed a locust alive?

But he knows that swallowing a locust can make the locust plague disappear? A joke!

But this is not a problem. The question is... what does Li Er think?

Li Er's face is a little moved, and at the same time... A little bit ready to move

"I hope to avert the disaster, why should I avoid it?"

Li Er murmured, with so many thoughts in his heart!

This... is simply a great opportunity to shape his own 'golden body'!

Li Er is a lustful person, he likes beauties, money, and the world, but he likes the most. Yes, it's reputation!

To put it simply, Li Er is an emperor who values ​​reputation to the extreme! What he wants to do is to be an eternal Mingjun, or even a sage king!

What he wants is for future generations to mention him Li Er , you have to call him a saint!

It is obvious how much such a person attaches importance to reputation!

At this moment, Li Er was thinking, if he really did this, he would spread the matter widely and let storytellers publicize it everywhere. If...

My reputation has not risen straight away?

I hope it will transfer the disaster to the people, so why should I avoid it? What does it mean?

To put it simply...

I mean: I really hope that it will transfer the disaster to the people to me. Alone! Why do I want to escape from illness?

What kind of great moral integrity and dedication is this?

If I really do this... wouldn't I be one step closer to the Holy King?

Obviously, Li Er was moved, but he was also Not stupid, I quickly discovered the problem, or rather……BUG！

".Chen Aiqing, I already understand what you mean.……"Li Er spoke in a low voice:"But...even if I eat locusts like the saint you mentioned, if I still can't eliminate the disaster,……"

That's the problem!

(De Li Hao) Eat locusts?

Although I am afraid of avoiding it, if I can become a Saint King, it is not intolerable.

But the question is, after eating, what if the locust plague does not disappear and will still cause trouble in all directions?

Didn’t I just eat for nothing?

Li Er was a little confused...

Although people in this era believe in ghosts and gods, believing is one thing, and whether they can do it is another! Huo!

"Sure enough, I took the bait.……"

Chen Qiu felt happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"Your Majesty, since I dare to let Your Majesty eat locusts, there will naturally be a solution."

"If not, aren't you afraid that your majesty will settle accounts with your queen?"

"However, now it depends on whether Your Majesty... wants to become that Holy King!"

Do you want to be a saint?

Nonsense!

How can you really not want to? Labor and management all dream about it, right?

Li Er rolled his eyes, thinking that he must want to! 100% want to!
