People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 27: The Shocked Li Erxia Again
"Fourteen, you breed a lot of chickens and ducks, and probably consume a lot of food and grass!"

The words came with an inadvertent opening.

This is probing.

On the one hand, Li Shimin was really curious about Li Ming's food, especially when he saw those thousands of chickens and ducks, Li Shimin's curiosity became even stronger.

On the other hand, I want to see if Li Ming has obtained food from other sources.

In this situation, the importance of food to him is beyond doubt.

If Li Ming could get food from other places he didn't know, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for him.

It's just obvious that Li Shimin is doomed to be disappointed.

Li Ming had no other way to get food.

Unless you sign in to him.

But with a first-level system, it is simply impossible to give him large quantities of food.

So when faced with Li Shimin's probing words, he did not hesitate.

Instead, he just shook his head.

"Father, the breeding of the children basically does not consume food and grass, at least now it basically does not consume, most of which are provided by the earth dragon."

"Father, have you seen the baskets outside the chickens and ducks? There are a lot of earth dragons bred there. Now three months have passed, and the earth dragons have been bred, which can fully support the daily life of these chickens and ducks." For food, and these chickens and ducks are kept outside on weekdays, it is enough to eat some insect eggs, such as locust eggs."

The words opened slowly, introducing the breeding of chickens and ducks.

And listening to Li Ming talking about the earth dragon first, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help looking at those baskets.

But before he went over to check, the next moment Li Ming's words made him a little uneasy.

"Fourteen, you mean chickens and ducks can eat locust eggs, and locusts have eggs?"

His pupils contracted, Li Shimin's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but speak at this moment.

"That's right, locusts are also insects, so they naturally have eggs, and they are a great nourishment for chickens and ducks."

Facing Li Shimin's expression, Li Ming secretly smiled in his heart, but his expression was still very serious.

"Locusts are insects too!"

Muttering to himself, Li Shimin's expression kept changing at this moment.

His eyes looked at the chickens and ducklings, then at Li Ming, and then at the outside chickens and ducks.

Li Shimin's mind roared at this moment, and his eyes seemed to open in an instant.

Locust plague.

This is undoubtedly his biggest heart disease recently.

Knowing that the plague of locusts is likely to erupt, he still has no way to deal with it. Such a result almost makes him sleepless these days.

But he never thought of it.

An unexpected outing, outside this city, unexpectedly found a solution again here with his own son.

Li Ming's words did not make him suspicious.

Two months ago, the roar of the Weihe River was still ringing in my ears.

At this moment, looking at these chickens and ducks again, Li Shimin only felt like a treasure.

"Fourteen, if I ask you to expand the scale, can you let your chickens and ducks eat all the insect eggs in the surrounding fields within the next three months?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin suppressed his excitement and opened his mouth tremblingly.

At this moment, only he himself knows how big his emotional ups and downs are.

"I'm afraid not!"

Listening to Li Shimin's excited words, Li Ming smiled wryly and shook his head.

Seeing Li Ming's reaction, Li Shimin's excited heart calmed down a little.

Can't help but sighed.

Just haven't waited for him to speak yet.

Li Ming's words sounded again.

"Father, my son has already begun to let the chickens and ducks spread in the hands of the people. On the one hand, they can eat the locusts in the fields, and on the other hand, they can also let the people have enough meat. However, even if the scale expands, it will even spread to the entire Guanzhong. I'm afraid it won't be able to completely solve the locusts, after all, locusts not only exist in the fields, but also in the wild, how many chickens and ducks are needed to eat them all, and there are not three months, at most two months, the locusts will break out of their shells."

"It is impossible to completely suppress the growth of locusts, but as long as they are killed before the locust plague forms, it should be enough to avoid the locust plague."

The words spoke softly.

As he said, trying to get rid of all these locust eggs before the locusts break their shells is basically nonsense.

The plague of locusts is not just the fields. It is not a joke that the locusts are locked in and no grass can grow.

There are locust eggs everywhere in the mountains, grasslands, and fields.

In particular, if Li Ming's memory is good, the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan was still very large.

Although next year will be the first year of Zhenguan, the plague of locusts did not happen overnight, but accumulated.

Even if next year is smaller than the second year, the scale can be said to be terrifying.

However, locust eggs cannot be completely solved.

But the locust plague is not without solutions.

As long as the locust plague has not gathered, the locusts are a group of high protein.

It can feed chickens and ducks, as well as domestic pigs.

That's why Li Ming even raised pigs.

He was afraid that there might not be enough chickens and ducks by then.

So prepare to raise even the pigs together.

If handled well, this wave of locusts can even make the people in Guanzhong rich.

"Fourteen, do you mean that locusts can also be fed to chickens, ducks, and hogs?"

Li Shimin, who was a little disappointed at first, heard Li Ming's follow-up words, his pupils lit up again, and his voice couldn't help asking.

"Of course, the nutritional value of locusts is no less than that of beef. As long as there is no plague of locusts, not only chickens and ducks, but also people can do it. But it is not enough to form a plague of locusts. Once the locusts gather, they will form a highly poisonous thing in the world!"

Li Ming nodded, and briefly explained the characteristics of locusts.

In particular, the gathering of locust plagues is highly poisonous.

If this is not done well, it will kill people.

"The gathering of locusts is highly poisonous?"

"I see!"

Listening to Li Ming's narration, Li Shimin had a clear understanding in his heart.

He finally understood why the plague of locusts was called punishment from heaven.

After the locust plague, there is no grass to grow, and it is highly poisonous. This is no different from God's punishment.

At the same time of understanding, Li Shimin's eyes really shined at this moment.

This time, he really has a solution to the locust plague.

Locust eggs can be eaten by chickens and ducks.

Even if the locusts break their shells, they can be used for feeding.

As long as the operation is good, this time Datang can not only survive the crisis, but also enough to completely reverse his throne and even his reputation in the entire Datang.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't hold back anymore.

An idea popped up involuntarily.

Then it can't be suppressed.

Li Shimin no longer hesitated, but looked at Li Ming with great caution.

The words started immediately.

"Fourteen, if I temporarily hand over the Shaofu to you, can you complete the laying of the Guanzhong in a short time!"

The voice was word for word, and the gaze was looking at Li Ming with incomparable dignity.

He looked at himself, the fourteenth son who was not very conspicuous before, but now surprised him one after another.
