People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 66 Shaofu's New Acquisition - Under the Locust
locust.

It can be said that Li Ming has been looking forward to the arrival of locusts before.

Compared with the transformation of other industries, locusts are undoubtedly the most important link that can give him a perfect industrial chain.

In the Tang Dynasty for more than 1000 years, there was not enough food production, and many things could not be developed. Even if he had a sacred book such as "Postpartum Care of Sows", its usefulness was limited.

But locusts can undoubtedly solve this problem.

For others, locusts may be a natural disaster, an unimaginable disaster, but for him, locusts are the representative of protein.

As long as there is no plague of locusts, locusts are innumerable meat, and the best quality meat.

The protein content of locusts is as high as 74.8%, while the protein content of common eggs is only 13%, which is much higher than that of eggs. It is a very good choice as a supplementary source of protein. Supplementing enough protein for the body can maintain cell growth, renewal and Repair, promote the growth and development of the human body, and enhance immunity. At the same time, the content of locust fat, carbohydrates, and cholesterol is relatively low. It is currently an ideal high-protein, low-fat healthy food.

Whether it is used as military rations or as livestock feed, locusts play an extremely important role.

And a locust plague, how many locusts are there.

Once it has an impact in later generations, the number of locusts is enough to reach more than 4000 billion. Even if it is a small locust plague, the number of locusts will definitely exceed billions.

The number of locusts per catty is only about seventy or eighty.

How many pounds of meat is this.

Even thinking about it makes people feel excited.

As for how to get it.

There's nothing that money can't fix.

If you can't solve it, then you don't have enough money.

Li Ming, who has 300 million yuan in money and grain, is not panicking at all.

After meeting Li Shimin, his figure immediately returned to Shaofu and began to discuss.

Although considering the acquisition of locusts.

But how and how to buy the locusts is a question that needs to be considered.

The ten texts he said were just his temporary ideas, not the final solution.

So after returning to the Shaofu, Li Ming quickly found the Shaofu supervisor.

And listening to Li Ming's words.

The Shaofu Supervisor couldn't help opening his mouth wide again.

No matter how much he overestimated Li Ming, he still underestimated it now.

300 million guan, Li Ming actually opened his mouth and asked for it from the emperor.

That's 300 million guan, not [-] guan.

With this kind of money, even if he was well-informed for a while, he was stunned for a while.

It was not until a long time later that the Shaofu supervisor gradually came back to his senses, but his consciousness was still a little trance.

"The money has arrived, but His Majesty is fully responsible for the locust matter. If it can't be resolved, then this king, the young minister, is probably at the end of his life."

Li Ming shook his head, and spoke solemnly.

But hearing Li Ming's words, the Shaofu supervisor couldn't help but tremble, and then his expression became anxious.

joke.

Li Ming can't leave.

Now the Shaofu's finances are all supported by Li Ming.

If the entire court doesn't want Li Ming to leave the Shaofu at all, then there are only people in the Shaofu.

Compared with the original Shaofu, with the arrival of Li Ming, the whole Shaofu can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

This is true whether it is treatment or spirit.

The Shaofu has gradually risen from a dispensable existence.

The money and food in hand gradually increased.

All of this was undoubtedly brought about by Li Ming.

Once Li Ming left, everyone in the Shaofu didn't know whether their good days would continue in the future.

"Your Highness, this matter is feasible!"

"The next officer will send people there immediately."

"but!"

Shaofu Prison spoke quickly, but he couldn't help but hesitate when the voice reached the end.

"Say!"

"But how?"

Li Ming frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, is ten Wen a catty too expensive?"

"The lower official suggested that one penny per catty, otherwise the three million pennies would be unsustainable in Guanzhong."

The Shaofu Supervisor gritted his teeth, and still spoke.

How many locusts are there? The Chinese people who have enough understanding of locust plagues can naturally understand how terrifying the number of locust plagues can be.

300 million guan, if it is ten cash per catty, I am afraid it is really not enough.

Tens of millions, or even more.

"Isn't it enough?"

Hearing the words of the Shaofu Supervisor, Li Ming couldn't help being taken aback.

Ten coins per catty, how much is 300 million Guan enough to buy, that is a unit of hundreds of millions.

This is not enough.

"That's right. From what I see now, the locust plague this time is a catastrophe. The number of locusts is probably innumerable for tens of millions."

The Shaofu supervisor nodded, and his expression also became dignified at this moment.

The locust plague has been reported, so the Shaofu supervisor naturally has to check it carefully.

But the result is extremely pessimistic, this time the locust plague is a catastrophe.

As for the locust plague, which is a catastrophic disaster, there are clear records in the history books, and the Shaofu Supervisor understands its horror even more.

"How about this, the Shaofu will still purchase from outside, but the locusts to be purchased will mainly be dried, at [-] cents per catty."

The words of the Shaofu supervisor came to his ears, Li Ming pondered, and then made a decision.

The purchase remains the same, but the locusts were originally purchased, but now they have to be dried.

Compared with the living body, the weight of dried locusts is undoubtedly lower. Although the price of a catty has increased to [-] yuan, after drying, a locust can already burn high incense if it has one-tenth of its weight , It can be said that the price has been lowered in disguise.

At the same time, the dried locusts can also save Shaofu a process.

There is no way to save live locusts.

The locusts that can be dried are enough to complete the storage.

Shaofu only needs to crush these locusts into powder, which can be said to be much more convenient.

"Dried?"

"Thirty Wen a catty?"

"Your Highness is wise!"

The Shaofu Supervisor was stunned for a moment, but then came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he spoke quickly.

"Stop flattering, hurry up and do it!"

"Remember, I don't want to see anyone who bends the law for personal gain, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

With an angry opening, Li Ming's voice gradually cooled down.

"promise!"

"The lower official understands, and the lower official promises that the Shaofu will not appear."

The Shaofu supervisor responded, then straightened his expression, and spoke with a very solemn expression.

"Okay, remember your words!"

Li Ming nodded, and then signaled the Shaofu Supervisor to step down.

The Shaofu supervisor also retreated tactfully.

And as the Shaofu supervisor retreated, a piece of news spread throughout Chang'an in an instant.

That is when the Shaofu Supervisor began to purchase locusts from outside.

Anyone can go to Shaofujian to exchange for locusts.

A pound of dried locusts can be sold for thirty yuan, which is thirty yuan.

This alone caused the shock to be extremely huge.

At this moment, when the news spread, all the people in Chang'an couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
