In this era, locusts can be considered a symbol of natural disasters. Who dares to eat them?

But... when Li Er led the ministers to eat locusts in various postures, and said they tasted great... that was different!

In this era, the imperial power is so high!

Even Li Er, the king of the country, took the lead in eating locusts, and said that the locusts were delicious, and even expressed that he would rather fight all the disasters alone. After this story came out, everyone was shocked.

At the same time, I am also extremely touched!

Damn it!

Even His Majesty the Emperor can eat locusts, but he eats them for us, the common people, so why can’t we eat them?

We must follow His Majesty’s footsteps!

Therefore, before the locust plague arrived, some restaurants caught a small amount of locusts nearby and cooked some of them according to the recipe, either roasting or frying them.

At first, everyone felt a little afraid to eat it.

But when someone has the courage to take a bite...

Damn it! So delicious!

In an instant, the news that locusts are delicious and top-notch delicacies spread like a strong wind...

In a short period of time, in the areas around Chang'an, the locust plague has not yet arrived, but the news that locusts are delicious has already spread.

Even many bastards who usually idle around went directly to the fields to catch locusts.

Just because... the restaurant has started to purchase it at a high price!

And there are many customers in the restaurant! Especially when the general Pang Yong heard about it, he personally went to a restaurant, called a bunch of locusts, and drank three kilograms of strong liquor... The locust business became even more popular!!!

……

The messenger is still running wild...

Everywhere he goes, after leaving a message, he puts on another fast horse and continues to the next city.

After the local city lord or officials received the"red-headed document" with Li Er's"official seal" on it, they did not dare to delay at all and immediately started making arrangements!

"Locust plague is coming?"

"real or fake? How could there be a locust plague? Isn’t it a good year?"

"Who knows? This is a death order from above. I heard that it was His Majesty's personal order. Your Majesty wouldn't lie to us common people, right?"

"This is not the case, but...how did your Majesty know that there would be a locust plague?"

"Who knows?"

"well! Harvest early! Although there will be a lot of losses, who dares to disobey the orders from above? Violation is a crime!"

"And what if there really are locusts?"

"Then...harvest!"

The people were moved upon hearing the news. Although many people did not believe it, they did not dare to disobey the government's orders.

Therefore, even if the grain was not completely mature, they could only harvest it as soon as possible. As more and more people harvested

, more and more people harvested it. , locusts, getting closer...

Finally, at noon the next day after the news began to be transmitted...

In a field between Weizhou and Puzhou...

Here, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless view, all of which have already been The rice is starting to turn yellow!

These rice will be completely ready in another ten days and a half!

But at this moment, the messenger running wildly on horseback looked ugly when he saw this scene.……

"With so much food, if there is no time to harvest it, once a locust plague breaks out...wait, what is this sound?"

"Call!!!"

The messenger reined in his horse and listened. In an instant, his complexion changed drastically!

Buzz!!!

The buzzing sound had already sounded at some point. Looking around, at the end of the line of sight in front of him, densely packed small trees appeared in the sky. Black dots'.

In an instant, these small black dots continued to grow in size and turned into... locusts!

"Locust plague!!!! The messenger screamed miserably, and his expression changed drastically:"There is really a locust plague!"!!"

He was confused, frightened, and panicked for a while.

But after a moment, he clenched his teeth!

"Didn’t you already know this a long time ago? Now that I know the locust plague will break out, why should I be shocked?"

"No, I can't retreat! Even if the locust plague has broken out and the grains are too late to be harvested, at least... at least the people must catch as many locusts as possible to make up for the losses!"

He roared angrily, spurred his horse and whip, and faced countless locusts, he rushed away!

Not long after, he discovered that a large number of people rushed out of their homes, holding bags and other tools, ready to fight. Maybe they could grab some grain.

But at this moment, there was no time.

The messenger had no choice but to gallop on his horse and shout loudly:"Your Majesty has an order!" Catch the locusts! The more the merrier! Locusts can be exchanged for silver! Silver can be exchanged for food!"

……

Time is passing... the potatoes have all been dug out and packed in batches. Under Li Er's arrangement, it can be shipped to various places soon...

Chen Qiu left about 100,000 kilograms as seeds for next spring. At the same time, he can eat some to improve the taste.

As for the 10% promised to the people, Chen Qiu naturally gave it, but Li Er felt that they couldn't eat so much... so he spent money to buy most of it to avoid not being enough for the victims.

Now, Chen Qiu has returned to Chang'an.

After all, the potatoes have been harvested, and there is nothing to do if we stay near Liangjiazhuang. It is better to go back to Chang'an to deal with some things.

".Tsk, that old man Wei Zheng, did you read my book before? Don't let me find the opportunity, otherwise I will read ten of your books! Hum hum……"

Chen Qiu walked in the streets and alleys. He did not return to the inspection office immediately, but wandered around Chang'an City.

"Grilled grasshoppers, grilled grasshoppers!"

"Delicious grilled grasshoppers!"

"Fried grasshoppers are the truth! That's justice! Come and try my fried grasshoppers!"

The locust plague has not yet arrived, but small traders who have discovered that grasshoppers are delicacies have begun to purchase locusts and sell them after cooking.

An emerging industry chain that is not strong has been formed!

Some idle people are going to the fields to Go to catch grasshoppers, and after catching them, sell them to vendors, who then make and sell them themselves!

((De Li Hao) Even before Chen Qiu went far, he saw a few speculative 'second-rate dealers'.

They buy large quantities of grasshoppers at a certain price and then sell them to restaurants and other places to make a fortune from them.……

"Tsk, as expected, there is no shortage of smart people in any era. These guys move very fast!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Qiu felt a little relieved.

The industrial chain has been formed, so as long as luck is not too bad, the people will not be too seriously affected. Even... locusts? Locust plague? They will not be able to leave Chang'an alive!

As for why he has to work so hard to help people survive the locust plague...

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Since Chen Qiu has traveled through time, he is a part of the Tang Dynasty!

Moreover, he is also bound to the Supreme Prosecutor System, so he is destined to Shine in this world and become a prosecutor with a reputation that will be passed down through the ages!
