Chapter 288 Locust Smasher

"Get ready, no matter whether the child is born or not, you have to go to the altar once."

Li Shimin patted the queen's hand and left the queen's bedroom. It was time for Baiqisi's secret performance.

Zhang Wen was in Li Shimin's imperial study room. When he saw Li Shimin coming in, he didn't salute. He directly presented a stack of secret letters. These letters were all information collected by members of Baiqi Division. Compared with Leng Feng's four information points, Baiqi Division's Significantly larger.

After all, Leng Feng set up the intelligence point to "see clearly" Chang'an and its surroundings, while Li Shimin set up the Baiqi Division to monitor the world.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out today that there are [-] states that have not followed the imperial court's advice to suspend farming, and the sporadic counties are hard to count for a while."

"So many~"

Li Shimin sat on the chair, opened the secret letters one by one, and when he saw No. 17, he let out a little surprise: "I found out, why are these stubborn guys related to the five surnames? "

Zhang Wen smiled bitterly and said: "That's true. Many members of the Baiqi Division also discovered that they had kidnapped other county magistrates to farm together. During the spring plowing, you ordered Guanzhong to plow late, and now you order to stop plowing, but those guys did not order plowing late after you ordered When I was young, I ignored the notice to plant the land, and now the millet wheat in several places is as high as the calf.

When Baiqisi's secret guards were investigating, the people said that the county magistrate said that there were only a few locusts, let alone whether there were any, even if there was a real locust plague, he would lead everyone to deal with it. "

"Hehe, deal with it? Just rely on manpower? What's the use of planting, it's not feeding locusts, these ignorant idiots!"

Li Shimin tore up the letter and said to Zhang Wen: "They did this because they wanted to show off their brilliance.

About the locust plague, I didn’t really believe it when Leng Feng, Duke of the State of Jin, said it. That day, Liu Yuan of Sinong Temple came back from other places, but he cried and told his guess. Liu Yuan is also a veteran of Sinong Temple. His guess This made me even more convinced of the possibility of locust plagues.

The plague of locusts will surely arise, and the calculations of these people will surely come to naught. If I don’t condemn them, it’s fine if I surrender or withdraw their positions. "

Zhang Wen scratched his head, he was actually not very good at these tactics, and he didn't understand the emperor's words very well.

Seeing Zhang Wen's bewildered expression, Li Shimin said to him, "Go down and take care of Leng Feng, Duke of the State of Jin. I pushed him out, saying that he predicted the locust plague, and I feel a little sorry for him."

Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Right now, most of the Dragon Tooth Army of the Lord of the Kingdom of Yan surrounds Tianxia Manor. You don't need to worry about safety or anything, it's just the reputation..."

Li Shimin said nonchalantly, "It's just fame. When the locust plague breaks out and the sacrifices to heaven and the phoenix are over, the rumors will certainly be destroyed."

Zhang Wen nodded and left the emperor's imperial study.

It wasn't until Zhang Wen left and there was no one in the imperial study room that Li Shimin dropped the teacup to the ground.

The word "five surnames and seven hopes" now disgusts him extremely!A group of nerds who talk about knowledge but try to control the power of the court!I just moved their positions tentatively, they were like cats with blown fur, no, maybe it would be better to describe them as mad dogs whose tails were stepped on!
Now that I have sat in the position of the emperor, I will not allow anyone to be on top of me, and I will never allow anyone to threaten the imperial power in any situation!

Sitting in the imperial study room, Li Shimin let out a hoarse cry in his heart!
～Separation line～

"Too few blades, and not sharp enough, you can't do that with this shredder."

Li Tai threw the lid of the shredder researched by Yan Liben aside, and said in a playful voice, "It's useless~"

Yan Liben said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just the first trial product, if there is a problem, just fix it."

Yan Liben has been deeply obsessed with researching new things since he invented the water wheel, hydraulic hammer and other things, and Li Tai also got together with him for some reason. .

"What are you doing?"

A voice came from the door of the house. Yan Liben looked back and said helplessly: "Zhang Zhongqing, I told you that glass is definitely not as good as iron nails in shells. Why are you here again!"

Zhang Zhongqing came here a few days ago, and Yan Liben refuted him on the spot when he wanted to stuff glass into the artillery shells in a whimsical way.

silly!I really want to stuff anything into thunder or artillery shells, and I don’t even look at how brittle the glass is!

Li Tai also looked at Zhang Zhongqing, um, the same black cloak and black mask as before, I can't see any difference, but...why doesn't it feel right?

He couldn't help taking a closer look, and when he saw Er Gouzi and Li Sanniu standing on both sides of the door, he couldn't help asking: "Master...Master?"

"Day! How did you guess it!"

Leng Feng took off his mask and black cloak. He originally wanted to stay at home for three or four months, but after only two days he found it boring. After Li Chengqian revealed what Li Tai and Yan Liben needed to study the locust plague, Leng Feng really I can't help but want to see it.

It is definitely not allowed to go out in real color, so Leng Feng asked Zhang Zhongqing for a cloak and mask, and went out of the house in disguise.

Li Tai smiled and said: "Isn't it obvious that Er Gouzi and Li Sanniu followed, it couldn't be someone else. If they were replaced, I'm not sure it would be you."

Leng Feng rubbed Li Tai's head: "Smart, what did your brother say you and Yan Liben will use when studying the locust plague? Master is very curious, so come and have a look."

Li Tai smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. We are going to build a pulverizer. Whenever we catch locusts, we will crush them and kill them. After drying, we will grind them into powder with a roller so that they will not rot. spoiled."

"what?"

Leng Feng was surprised, how did Li Tai's head grow!Hearing what he said, Leng Feng also felt that this thing was very useful.

What a smart head, but in the history of history, this IQ is used to fight for power with his elder brother, which is really a big waste!

Yan Liben brought the washbasin-sized shredder over to Leng Feng to see: "I made this, and it can be connected to a hydraulic system, so that the locusts can be dumped on the top, and the bottom can be picked up with a pocket, which is very convenient."

Leng Feng took the shredder, looked at the structure inside, and gave the same evaluation as Li Tai: "The blades are too few and not sharp enough. In fact, you don't need to make things so small. You can make a Wenyuan to store water. In such a big jar, put more blades in it, and stir like this for a long time to completely crush the locusts."

Yan Liben thought about it, and then felt that his idea was not grand enough, so he slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try!"
