I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

As soon as he returned to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin called Wei Zheng and others to hold an emergency meeting.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing so late?"

Zhangsun Wuji and the others looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

The last time they were called urgently, it was because of smallpox, and this time because of what?

Could it be that smallpox is making a comeback?

"It's not smallpox." Li Shimin's face was solemn, as if seeing what everyone was thinking, he said solemnly, "It's a plague of locusts!"

"In another month and a half, there will be a locust plague in my Tang Dynasty! It is bigger than the previous smallpox, and the impact will be even worse!"

"what?

"The plague of locusts?"

Zhangsun Wuji and the others took a deep breath and stood up in shock.

Wei Zheng's mouth moved, and his face turned pale: "Your Majesty, this... this is also what the Immortal Master predicted? 99

"good!"

Tang Jian's face turned pale in an instant.

As the minister of households, what he is most afraid of is the disaster of the Tang Dynasty, because once the disaster occurs, the economy will be severely affected, and the revenue of the national treasury will be greatly reduced.

Now that Datang Bank has just been established, the locust plague is about to come a few days ago. How did Tang Jian accept this?

"Your Majesty, the locusts will attack the "Seven-Three-Seven" I Tianxia from the borders of Tubo? Wei Chen suggested that the people in the disaster area be transferred immediately, and the whole country should be able to hoard food!"

Fang Xuanling's face was solemn: "Once the locust plague takes shape, the damage it will cause is unimaginable! Wei Chen estimates that at least hundreds of thousands of people will be affected, and perhaps this year's food will not be harvested.

Wei Chen suggested that these grains be harvested in advance to prevent them from being destroyed by the mouth of the locusts, and at the same time, they are ready to open the warehouse to release grains and receive the people in the disaster relief area!

"Early harvest? How does this work!"

Tang Jian jumped up when he heard the words.

"Right now, the grain has just been planted, and if all of it is harvested in advance, wouldn't my Tang Dynasty in the second half of the year have no harvest? 35

"One year's food must not be easily given up!

"There is no other way!" Du Ruhui sighed and said helplessly: "If the grain is not harvested, the grain will become the grain of the locusts, thus giving birth to more locust cubs and causing greater harm!

"This……"

Tang Jian's face was ugly, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"The old minister thinks this can be done..."

In the imperial study, a group of ministers were discussing each other.

Li Shimin sat on the side calmly, with a smile on his face.

This cabinet system is really good. The officials who can become members of the cabinet are all top talents in the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with the training in the cabinet, everyone is now a minister on their own.

What these officials say makes sense, but he has a better way!

"Clap!"

Li Shimin patted the table and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, ministers, this locust plague will only happen in a month and a half, and I still have time to prepare!

"And the immortal master has also formulated three national policies for me in the Tang Dynasty to control the locust plague!

Next, Li Shimin explained the methods that Ye Yu had given him.

In the imperial study room, Fang Xuanling's and others' expressions changed from doubt to shock to ecstasy!

In the end, all the ministers flushed with excitement and couldn't help but speak out.

"It can still be like this! As expected of an immortal teacher, the old minister never thought there was such a way."

"Using chickens, ducks and humans to resist locusts and eliminate the flying ability of locusts, they can be completely eliminated with ease!

"Can locusts still be eaten? Did Mr. give us the method of detoxification?"

A group of civil officials asked Li Shimin excitedly, and a group of military generals were even more excited and shouted.

"Your Majesty, these methods are really wonderful!"

"There are many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty guarding the frontier. If you can have nutritious porridge and rice as food, the soldiers will definitely be more motivated!"

"Hahahaha, those Tubo people who I saw at the end of the day are not pleasing to the eye, and this time they happened to be wiped out!"

"It turns out that this plague of locusts is a blessing rather than a disaster for my Tang Dynasty!

"Yeah!" Li Shimin patted the table and said in a deep voice, "Tang Jian, can I buy enough chickens and ducks with the money in my Datang Bank, and have the people summoned to catch locusts?"

Tang Jian squinted his eyes and calculated in his heart, and finally said with gritted teeth: "Yes, I promise to call a sufficient number of people and chickens and ducks! 99

Although summoning the common people and chickens and ducks for disaster relief will cause a great burden to the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, as long as this period of time is passed, according to Ye Yu's method, these locusts will bring several times the benefits to the Tang Dynasty!

This wave, bet!

"It's good to have money!" Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then commanded in a deep voice.

"Tang Jian, immediately issue an edict, mobilize the money in the bank to gather the people from the people, buy chickens and ducks, and go to the western grasslands to wait for the locust plague!"

"Qin Shubao, you lead 50,000 soldiers over there, first turn all the grasslands of 200 miles into ashes, wait for the locust plague to disappear and directly attack Tubo, and eradicate one of them!

"Yuchi Gong, you are also leading 50,000 soldiers, ready to attack Tianzhu at any time. If you want to eradicate them as quickly as possible, you must not leave them any time to react!"

"Yes!"

Qin Shubao and Yuchigong's eyes suddenly burst into a ball of light.

The opportunity to open up the territory and defend the country is at hand!

This time, the plague of locusts must be completely suppressed, so that Datang will never again suffer from the plague of locusts in the future!

The next morning, Chang'an City, in Wannian County.

"Brother Chong~"

"Brother Chong~"

Cries rang out in a remote shack area in Wannian County, causing the wild dogs around to flee.

Although Datang is much richer than before under the guidance of Ye Yu, there are still many people who are still in dire straits, and the people living here are one of them.

"Who?"

Zhao Chong rubbed his eyes and opened the tattered wooden door of his house. He was stunned when he saw a little boy standing at the door, and then said angrily: "Shunzi, what are you calling this early in the morning! 39

The little boy Shunzi put on Zhao Chong's sleeve excitedly and said, "Brother Xiang, there is good news!

"Great news!

"The imperial court has issued a notice to buy locusts at a high price. A pound of locusts is a full ten cents. Let's go catch locusts quickly!"

Zhao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he rolled his eyes at Shunzi and said angrily: "Are you sleepy, locusts have a fart, why did the imperial court buy this thing?

"Going out to play, this early morning doesn't make people sleep well...

Zhao Chong rolled his eyes, mumbled twice, turned around and walked into the room.

Seeing this, Shunzi was immediately anxious, he grabbed Zhao Chong's sleeve and said anxiously: "Brother Chong, why am I lying to you, the emperor list has already been posted, I heard that the Tang Dynasty is about to explode. The plague of locusts, this is the method taught by the immortals to His Majesty, let's go and see!"

"You are so skilled, you can definitely catch dozens of catties of locusts a day, this is hundreds of pennies, let's go quickly, we will be caught in the evening!

"The immortal's idea?"

Zhao Chong was stunned when he heard the words, then turned around and looked at Sunja in surprise.

Immortals have a high status in the Tang Dynasty, how can they issue orders casually on weekdays, this time even the immortals have come forward, is it possible that the Tang Dynasty will really have a locust plague?

Why is it necessary to manually catch locusts?

Before he could think about it, Zhao Chong grabbed Sunja's sleeve and ran towards the city gate.

"Come on, let's go and see!

When the two children ran to the gate of the city, there were already hundreds of people around, and everyone's expressions were extremely excited. Some people were holding chickens and ducks in their arms, and the noise almost filled the entire city of Chang'an. All submerged!

"Hi! 99

"The Immortal Master predicted that a locust plague will break out in the Tang Dynasty in a month and a half. If it is not controlled, it will bring serious harm to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Fortunately, there are three major methods of insect control formulated by the immortal master, which is great!

"Is it really feasible to use chickens and ducks to hunt locusts and let us catch locusts?

"The method given by the immortal master can still be wrong, there are more than 100 chickens and ducks in my family, this time I made a lot of money!

In front of the city gate, an official stood on a small table and shouted loudly.

"Folk folks, folks! The method of insect control given to us by the Immortal Master is absolutely effective, don't doubt it!"

"If you have chickens and ducks at home, please bring them out. One chicken is fifty cents, and one duck is sixty cents. The imperial court will not limit it. People who don't have chickens and ducks can also sign up to go to the frontier areas for locusts. The imperial court will buy everyone with a lot of money. Don't worry!

The surrounding was quiet, and everyone watched the official with excitement.

"The old man has a chicken! 35

Suddenly, a white-haired old man stood up with a chicken in his arms. He stared at the official and said in a deep voice, "I have a chicken here, and I am willing to donate it to the court for free!"5

"Now my Tang Dynasty is at stake, and the old man is too weak to serve the Tang Dynasty. This chicken is the only property of the old man, and the court who is willing to help resist the plague of locusts!

"This..." The official was stunned for a moment.

The people around were clamoring.

"The old man is right, I can't build an industry on the battlefield, so let's help the Great Tang to resist the locust plague! 99

"There are more than 30 chickens and ducks in my family, and I am willing to donate them all to the court!"

"I also have chickens and ducks at home, I'll get them later! 35

"Although I don't have chickens or ducks at home, I can go to the frontier to catch locusts and do my part for the court!

Standing at the periphery of the crowd, Zhao Chong pursed his lips and listened for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth, and turned around and grabbed Sunja and ran in the direction he came from.

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously, "Brother Chong, what are you doing?"

Zhao Chong's anxious voice sounded: "Go home and prepare, go to the frontier, and catch locusts!"
