God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 602
Sometimes, Li Shimin lamented that civil and military officials are really not as good as Li Chengqian alone.

What's more, even him is not as good as a Li Chengqian!

Fortunately, Li Chengqian is not very old, otherwise, Li Shimin will inevitably have a different heart. In that case, it would not be a good thing for him.

Having said that, no matter how powerful a person is, he still can't support a Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, what would the ministers do?
Right now it is time to solve the problem, Li Shimin said again:
"Gao Ming, go on, I want to hear what you'll do next?"

Li Shimin asked, then Li Chengqian began to say:

"Yes! Your Majesty! Next, of course, is to mobilize people to catch locusts together, and prepare a large number of sacks. Once caught, put them all in sacks and put them in the water to drown! Don't let them escape!"

Li Chengqian also thought about everything that might happen next.

Li Chengqian looked around, and everyone nodded incessantly.

Li Jing said: "His Royal Highness is thoughtful, what else?"

"Next, it's time for Uncle Cheng to act."

"Oh? What do you need to say directly! Old Cheng, I am at your disposal!"

Li Chengqian absolutely has the right to dispatch Cheng Yaojin, Shang Shuling is not joking, as long as Li Shimin doesn't say anything, then come here casually.

"Uncle Cheng, you lead the army to place firewood on the farmland near Chang'an City. Set up firewood piles every ten feet, and dig a two-foot-deep hole beside the firewood piles to surround the firewood piles. Don't transport the soil away. , Pile it directly on the side. Remember, don’t destroy the farmland. Otherwise, the people may rebound! It will affect our next move!"

Although things are very simple, why do you want to do this?

"What is this for?"

Where do these turtles know, so Li Chengqian simply explained:
"Locusts can fly, and they will definitely go desperately for the fire at night. Once they find the locusts rushing over, they will definitely be burned. If they fall on the ground, they will be buried directly with soil."

The phototaxis of locusts to orange light was what Li Chengqian saw in a research paper at the time. The activity of locusts to purple light was the strongest, but where can we get purple light in this era, it is better to set a fire directly to produce orange light. light, and some locusts can be burned to death through fire.

If an army of billions of locusts comes, even if he mobilizes the whole city to catch them, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch them all at once. The entire capture time may last until night, when the sight line is extremely poor at night, and the big locusts will just rest. Starting a fire becomes especially important at times.As for how much time it takes to capture, it is unknown.

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized.

"This is the same as moths to a flame!"

Cheng Yaojin also said:

"Then the locusts will die! What a good way!"

Everyone understands such a simple truth!
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin directly praised: "Good good! Very good way!"

You must know that the number of locusts will be very large. At that time, it may last for several days, and night is inevitable. It is impossible for people to let them destroy their crops at night, right?
This method is undoubtedly a sustainable capture.

"Although I say that, I don't know how many can be caught? I'm afraid I'll only get very little by then, and it won't look good!"

Of course, Li Chengqian knew how much he could capture, and it was never Liu Hongji's turn to question him.

"I don't need Duke Kui to worry about this point. However, Duke Kui can participate in the capture of this matter. It is also a good thing to think of it as exercise!"

Li Chengqian said so.

Liu Hongji was a little depressed by his avoidance of important things and his way of speaking.

Then Li Shimin seemed to understand something.

"All of you, when the capture begins, everyone must participate, there must be no mistakes!"

This is an imperial decree, and everyone has to obey it.

This was something Li Chengqian did not expect, it was Li Shimin who wanted to do this, not his idea.

Cheng Yaojin asked at this time:
"Your Highness, how did you come up with this method?"

Li Chengqian responded directly: "The so-called man is determined to conquer nature, and my fate is up to me! In the face of all difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is how to solve it, rather than retreating from difficulties, rather than resigning to fate! There are always more ways than difficulties, as long as you are willing to think , must be able to think of it!"

While Li Chengqian was speaking, he still kept his eyes on Liu Hongji. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was talking about Liu Hongji.

At the same time it made some people blush.

Li Shimin took the opportunity to say:

"Gao Ming is right. You should study hard from him in the future. This is not a difficult task in the first place. Even if it is difficult, we can solve it!"

Li Shimin was very shameless, and he couldn't think of a way.

Such a method as using a fishing net is very common, but they couldn't think of it.

Regarding Li Shimin's words, all the ministers bowed their heads in shame.

A bunch of people can't compare to Li Chengqian, what kind of mess is there!
However, Li Chengqian excused everyone: "Your Majesty, everyone is also concentrating on finding a solution. The only thing to blame is that the locust plague has been very scary since ancient times. Everyone felt fear and didn't think of it for a while."

It caused everyone to look at him with eyes full of respect.

At the same time, the mood swings in my heart were abnormally large.

Correspondingly, Li Chengqian's points here are rising.

"Congratulations to the host, you got thirty points!"

"Congratulations to the host, you got thirty points!"

"Congratulations to the host, you got thirty points!"

……

No more, no less, six thousand points were credited.

"Look at you, and then look at Gao Ming, who knows how to think about you, you can't think of a way today, all of you will be fined for half a month, and it will be added to the relief of the disaster victims!"

Li Shimin said so.

Although the ministers wanted to say something, they still didn't say it in the end.

After all, they failed to figure out a way.

Before Li Shimin said he was happy, he said, "I'm really ashamed of you!"

In fact, this is not the result Li Chengqian wants, he just wants points.

At the same time, it was also for Datang to solve problems, and he didn't want to target the people here.

"I feel ashamed!"

All the ministers said.

"It's good to know how to be ashamed. Let's all go down. You all go to help Gao Ming deal with the locust plague. At that time, I will check how it is doing from time to time!"

What Li Shimin meant was to give Li Chengqian full power to take charge of this locust disaster.And he had to report the whole process to him. It can be seen that this locust plague is very important to him, and he can even put down other things to pay attention to it.

Well, since this is the case, of course Li Chengqian accepted all the orders, and maybe at that time, he would be able to pretend in front of the majority of people.

Also, after this time is over, maybe you can talk about the economy, so it will be a matter of course.
