Chapter 608 Oil Pan
Li Chengqian didn't want to reply to Liu Hongji's words for the time being, and Liu Hongji had no choice.

Li Chengqian looked at the people around him, feeling relieved.

With the support of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and the Zheng family still had emptied big sacks, all the empty sacks broke [-] in an instant, and these sacks were distributed to various places.

According to Li Chengqian's estimation, this time the locust plague is unprecedented, and it is really terrible.

One sack doesn't need much, it can hold two hundred catties, and the weight of five thousand sacks is an astronomical figure. 100 million catties, just a while.

The capture of locusts is still in progress.

But Li Chengqian is not fighting alone, there are tens of thousands of people behind him.The entire Tang Dynasty instantly became one.

The people were full of morale, catching locusts in large numbers, tirelessly.

……

Time soon came to the afternoon, Li Shimin looked at everything in front of him, thinking a little bit.

"Gao Ming, it seems that this locust plague can be receded by us, but I don't know how long it will take?"

Although they won a short-term victory, no one knows how long it will take before the final victory!

Li Shimin asked like this, he watched the people around him trying to catch the locusts.

It can be said that the whole army was dispatched, and even the ministers participated.

As for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, just standing there can give people confidence.

Li Shimin's question is not difficult, but it may not be so easy to tell the time.

Li Shimin was also in a hurry, after all, this time was no small matter and there must be no mistakes.

So Li Chengqian had no choice but to say:
"Your Majesty! These locusts can be controlled today and tomorrow, but as time goes by, it will only become more and more difficult to catch."

It is an indisputable fact that although at least one-fifth of the locusts have been cleaned up, there are still a lot of them.

Li Chengqian didn't hide anything either.This is what he can guess, and it is also the best time.

"Control? Then how can we catch more?"

Li Shimin was eager for success.

Li Chengqian said:
"Your Majesty, the so-called control means keeping them out of the way and minimizing their destructive power. When it comes to catching more, it depends on the night."

"night?"

Why at night?Li Shimin didn't understand.

"That's right, it's night. My son has already prepared General Cheng. Just wait until night to harvest a few more waves of locusts!"

When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin had no choice but to respond:
"So even good."

As soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran over.

"His Royal Highness, the frying pan is ready!"

"Gao Ming, what do you want this frying pan for?"

Li Shimin was very curious, did he want to cook on the spot?
The busy ministers also stopped.

"Everyone must be hungry, so Erchen ordered someone to prepare a frying pan and give people something to eat!"

Everyone has been busy for a long time, and everyone is hungry. At this moment, there must be no food in everyone's home.

His words aroused some doubts.

Especially Liu Hongji, who came out directly and said: "The population in Chang'an City is at least a million. This meal alone will cost a million catties of ingredients? How can there be so many ingredients in our country's treasury to waste? "

"That's right! Grain storage is for emergencies. You can't be so reckless. What if you suddenly need food one day?"

Someone also said.

Obviously, they want to see this happen.

"Your Majesty, please stop His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian just smiled, he wasn't that stupid, he was so stupid as to take things from the national treasury and feed them to a million people.

"You will know when you go!"

He didn't like Liu Hongji, so he was directly filtered out.

"Your Majesty, please stop His Highness the Crown Prince!"

These people did not let Li Chengqian go at all.

"Your Majesty, I have already prepared the ingredients. These ingredients are not from the granary, and they are very fresh! Please take a look!"

Someone sneered and said, "Hmph! The food eaten by millions of people, even a commercial company can't bear it?"

Someone speculated: "Unless the Chamber of Commerce supports it?"

"It's possible that the Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of a person surnamed Zou. He is facing His Royal Highness. Maybe they are here to help?"

"Right now, I'm afraid it's only possible for them, but people are selfish, who would give food to the people for no reason? And they are still businessmen, and businessmen are not profitable, so it is even more impossible."

"You guys are really ink blots, don't you know it after you go to see it? Every day, you fix all these things and make me look down on you, Lao Cheng!"

Cheng Yaojin spoke bluntly and said directly.

Everyone was speechless.

How do you know if you don't look?I've been guessing, any fun?

"I was too hungry just now, His Royal Highness, I want to see what delicious food is, and it would be best to drink it with wine, that would be the best!"

Cheng Yaojin licked his chapped mouth, and swallowed subconsciously.Li Chengqian never let him down.

"Yes, Your Majesty, shall we go and have a look?"

Fang Xuanling and others said the same thing: farmers bring their own pancakes to satisfy their hunger.

Li Shimin looked into the distance and touched his stomach again.

"I'm hungry too, okay! Let's go and have a look together!"

After finishing, Li Shimin walked to the front.

Suddenly, he stopped.

seems to remember something.

"Sun Zhenzhen, Dean Ouyang, you are also together?"

Sun Simiao and Ouyang Xun should be.

"Please!"

Li Chengqian made a gesture of invitation, which attracted Li Shimin to the place where the frying pan was.

A group of people waited to go to the side in a mighty manner.

The people around subconsciously stepped aside and made way.

From their eyes, I saw the eyes of worship.

In their opinion, there is probably no such existence as Li Shimin or Li Chengqian in this world.

Soon, the group arrived at an open space where hundreds of oil pans were erected. These oil pans were all made of refined iron and were the masterpieces of Li Chengqian.

The oil temperature in the oil pan became very high.

When Li Shimin saw this scene, it was very spectacular.

But he looked around again. Apart from the piles of locust corpses, where did the food come from?

Before he could speak, someone jumped in first.

But Liu Hongji asked: "His Royal Highness, where is this food? I have never seen it before!"

At the same time, the curiosity of the people around has not been extinguished. They are curious about the oil pan and why there is no food?
Some people even speculated, is His Royal Highness trying to juggle?

Li Shimin also opened his mouth.

"Gao Ming, where is your food?"

There were at least [-] people at the scene, and the place was tightly surrounded, but there was not necessarily any food.

People were talking and pointing.

But seeing Li Chengqian said: "The food is on the spot!"
