Lucky star, cute baby, fairy mother is so handsome

"Locusts, tell the prince quickly and ask the people to collect the locusts, fry them and store them. They can satisfy their hunger when there is nothing to eat."

"Okay, husband, I'll go and deliver the message."

Shiqi, who was sitting on the tree outside the house, was so stunned after hearing the conversation between the two that he forgot where he was. He stepped on the air and fell from the tree.

In a panic, he quickly raised his breath, stabilized his body, and landed safely.

Some of the people I saw around me were shrugging and some shaking their heads. They were all speechless, but they were not surprised.

Because he was Seventeen, anything was possible for him, so it was normal for him to fall from the tree.

Butler He was leaning against the tree. Shi Qi leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear that? Eat locusts." The last three words were bitten hard.

"Can that thing be eaten? Just think about it..." He retched with an exaggerated expression.

A cold gaze struck him, making him look up suddenly in fright. He didn't even have time to retract his retching movements before meeting the frightening gaze.

"Master, Master." He said with a trembling tone.

"Housekeeper He, I'll reward Seventeen with a bowl of locusts for dinner today."

"Ah?" Shiqi's voice was much higher.

"Two bowls."

Shi Qi quickly covered his mouth and cast a begging look at Shangguan Jiuyou.

But Butler He on the side dragged him out, far away from the yard. Hou Shiqi hugged Butler He's arm.

"Uncle He, please do me a favor and pick a smaller one for me. I'll just swallow it down, otherwise I'll definitely spit out the yellow bile water."

"Can that thing be eaten? How disgusting. What do you think, Princess?"

"I know, there must be someone she hates here, and she did this for revenge."

Butler He felt his head was buzzing, and he stretched out his hand to tap Shiqi's acupuncture point. His ears were finally quiet, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Shiqi pointed at his throat and couldn't say a word, he could only worry.

In fact, Butler He also had the same question, after all, it was a worm! ! ! After trembling for a while, he quickly left.

Seventeen, who was chasing after him, was stopped by Eleven, who was returning from sending a message to the prince. "Why are you running around during duty hours?"

Without any explanation, he picked up Shi Qi's collar and walked towards Youyuan.

Seventeen roared in his heart: Let me go, I have to pick the smaller locusts from the master's reward for dinner.

His idea is very simple. If you don't chew the small ones, just swallow them directly into your belly, which will make you less nauseated.

The prince, who was still in the field, was recalling the news brought by the eleventh day and felt his heart was in chaos.

After a long time, he slowly said, "Heishi, have you eaten it?"

"Report to the master, this subordinate has never eaten it."

"So can I eat it?"

"Maybe, maybe it can be done. I think His Highness Ninth Prince must have eaten it."

The prince's eyes lit up and he thought it made sense, so he sent an order to everyone to collect the locusts, take them home, fry them and store them for emergencies.

At the same time, some sympathy arose in his heart, and he thought to himself: Lao Jiu is suffering. It is not easy for one person to raise two hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

"Heishi, give these ten thousand taels to Lao Jiu. When you go to the north one day, buy some food to take with you. Eat less worms to avoid a bad stomach."

Heishi took the banknote and ordered it to be delivered.

The people were also frightened by the words about collecting locusts, and all kinds of doubts came to their minds. But fortunately, they were obedient, and everyone started to move. Even the children who had just learned to walk were helping adults to pick them up.

The news of the bombing of locusts reached the palace and soon reached the emperor's ears.

He smiled and said, "Happy father-in-law, my ninth daughter-in-law has so many ideas."

"Your Majesty, have you never thought about whether that thing is edible?"

"What can't be eaten? Historical records show that mud can be used to satisfy hunger during famine years, and locusts are much better than mud."

The purpose of collecting locusts was also for their stomachs. The emperor was so shocked that he was so shocked that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat when he remembered that the amount of food stored by the court was really small.

Immediately ordered, "Send the order to the Right Prime Minister and ask him to assist Da Si Nong in mobilizing grain from the surrounding areas and transporting it to the capital."

"In addition, we should do a good job in market supervision to keep food prices stable, and at the same time supply food according to the population of each household, and do not maliciously stockpile food.

If a large family buys grain, they must first check the amount of grain stored in the house to ensure that the grain is sold to those who really need it. "

"Send an order to Shangguan Wuyou to send more manpower to ensure the safety of the capital. During this special period, thieves cannot take advantage of the loopholes."

In just one day, the sky above the capital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

There were long queues at the entrance of all the grain stores, and no one left during dinner time.

Everyone was talking about it:

"Purchasing is also limited. I don't know how long I can last if I buy it at one time?"

"This year has just begun. What will happen if we run out of food later?"

"I don't believe that the imperial court will ignore us. When the day comes, the imperial court will definitely find a way to save us."

Everyone thought of the diligent and conscientious Emperor who had been on the throne for 30 years, and many of their worries dissipated.

Nine Palaces.

There were two bowls placed in front of Shi Qi, looking as if he was beyond love.

"Eat it. I specifically told the chef to marinate it with seasonings and fry it. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. I feel stuffy after holding the bowl."

Listening to Butler He's "eloquent words", Shi Qi Zhan cautiously stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl. He seemed to be slowing down the whole process, so slow that he couldn't be slower. Although it took a long time, the bowl was finally in my hand.

Those who were "watching the battle" on the side were very alert and watched with their eyes motionless.
