The Third Prince became more active and said, "Your Majesty. Fortunately, I met the head nanny on my way back. She was intercepted by someone in the name of the queen. I thought she was clearly following your orders to get the reward... so I came to help the head nanny and carried the bronze box over."

The emperor was moved, but he remained calm and said, "Well done."

He ordered the eunuch behind him to open the bronze box.

The emperor, the third prince and court officials all came forward to see.

There were more than ten jars in the box, with the word "disinfection" written on the body of the jars and sealed with wooden stoppers.

The third prince took out the manual from the box and handed it to the emperor.

After looking for a while, a strange expression suddenly appeared on the emperor's face. After a moment, the emperor sighed softly and patted the third prince on the shoulder.

Emperor: "Be prepared."

Third Prince: ???

He was nervous: "Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any trick here to deal with locusts?"

"Yes, there are many tricks. We can feed chickens and ducks, and we also have a lot of medicine. It should be able to solve the problem." The emperor nodded and looked at the courtiers who were delighted.

The emperor paused and added: "We still have to eat these locusts."

Third Prince:!!!

Courtiers: !!!

After saying that, the emperor handed the manual on how to control locusts to others.

The content is also very simple. For example, the first recommendation is that chickens and ducks eat locusts. The reward not only explains how to drive chickens and ducks to eat locusts, but also provides enough quick-growing nutrient solution for 100,000 chickens and ducks to grow up within ten days.

For example, it is not recommended to consume them artificially, but if the locusts have grown in size and have to be eliminated by everyone together, there are edible disinfectants here that are sufficient to wash away tens of millions of locusts.

The court officials read it carefully several times and remained silent.

Prime Minister Li stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the system says that the locusts have now broken out to a large scale, covering more than a dozen counties. It takes ten days to raise these chickens and ducks, and the locusts reproduce very quickly. If we don't control the locusts in ten days, it will be a drop in the bucket to wait until the 100,000 chickens and ducks are mature. Your Majesty is right, we do need to eat."

The Third Prince was still a little unwilling, and muttered to himself: "But it's poisonous."

Prime Minister Li said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It says here that locusts are poisonous when they form a swarm. You can wash them with disinfectant before eating them. This will probably not harm your body. I will make sure to make sure they are cleaned thoroughly."

Third Prince: ...

Who the hell wants to be in good health like this?

He muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if we have more food. How much can we eat?"

The emperor patted the Third Prince on the shoulder and said, "Do you still remember who you are?"

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Daxia... Third Prince? A relative of the royal family?"

The emperor nodded and said, "There are people in the folk who already offer sacrifices to the locust god. If I don't eat them, and the prince doesn't eat them, how many people in Daxia do you think would dare to eat them? Someone has to set an example!"

The Third Prince was completely choked up. He had been warned by the Concubine Dowager that once it came to matters of justice, no matter how unwillingly he did, he could not go against the will of His Majesty.

He could only express his loyalty in a weak voice: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and we are duty-bound to do so."

The emperor widened his eyes slightly. How could he be so aware of the current situation?

The other court officials who were unwilling to eat locusts were speechless, saying, "You knelt down too quickly."

Prime Minister Li and other lackeys of the emperor immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. We, the subjects, have no choice but to do our duty."

The emperor was satisfied, and his eyes softened when he looked at the Third Prince.

The emperor said: "Minister Li will continue to be in charge of the Xiongnu's troop deployment, and Prime Minister Wang will have..."

The emperor glanced at the Third Prince, then looked at the others, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you should immediately arrange for personnel to breed and mobilize chickens and ducks to the disaster area. At the same time, bring disinfectant and require the locals to eat the disinfected locusts to completely put an end to the locust plague."

Prime Minister Wang and the Minister of Revenue hurried out to receive the order.

The emperor also discussed with other court officials how to write the document "To the people of the world, eat locusts", how to deal with the princes' follow-up moves, and how to keep an eye on the King of Huainan.

The Third Prince was satisfied when he saw that he was excluded once again.

The emperor happened to catch a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and almost laughed out of anger. He was already here, but he was still thinking about salted fish.

The emperor said, "And Third Brother, if any of the princes ask you about the treasure chest and the locust plague... you must calm them down and find an inconspicuous excuse to get away with it. Don't involve Jiu'er."

The Third Prince was a little depressed when he heard about the mission, but he was delighted by being called "Third Brother". He hurriedly said, "As you wish."

……

Yuanruan yawned, rubbed his eyes and stood up.

The head nanny wiped her hands and face.

After Yuan Ruan finished washing up, he asked, "Father, have you found it?"

The head nanny said quickly, "I was just about to tell the Ninth Princess the good news. The eunuch in charge said that His Majesty had obtained very important information and items from the bronze box, so he would reward the Ninth Princess generously."

Yuanruan nodded with satisfaction: [It's great that you are so alert, brother! This should save a lot of lives. ]

System: [Of course. It’s all thanks to Ah Ruan! I just don’t know what the Third Prince’s temper is like, will he beat you?]

"Clang!" The sound of bronze objects colliding suddenly appeared nearby.

Yuan Ruan looked over and saw a Third Prince appearing at the door out of nowhere.

The other party seemed a little embarrassed, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to greet her: "Hey, Hello, Princess Nine!"

Yuansoft: ...

This guy doesn't look very smart.
