Chapter 176: I have eaten it all, who dares to be an exception?
Li Shimin had a headache when he returned to the harem. He had just asked the imperial doctor that locusts did have these curative effects, but it was only recorded in medical books. He was not very clear about it and had never used it.
But one thing is certain, that is, apart from the unpleasant taste, eating locusts will not cause any harm to the human body.
This made him feel relieved, which meant that Ji Song was not lying. He knew that Ji Song had an ancestral brocade and silk book in his family. He knew some unknown things and could understand it. After all, it was something from pre-Qin times.
"Meet the empress!"
While he was deep in thought, Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard that the queen had arrived.
It would be more appropriate to let the queen talk about this matter, otherwise there would be no chance of sleeping with them during this period.
"Mr. Guanyin, you came just in time. I have something to discuss with you!"
The eldest grandson put down the soup in his hand and said with a chuckle: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. How can I discuss this with Your Majesty? Your Majesty can make the decision yourself."
He said this, but his steps that never moved seemed to say: I want to know too, please tell me quickly!
Li Shimin was distressed and said helplessly: "We may have to eat locusts!"
"Just eat, what's the big deal?"
"What? Eating locusts?" When the reaction came, the eldest grandson could no longer maintain her demeanor as the mother of a country and screamed.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, it's not good for them to hear!" Li Shimin quickly covered her mouth. If the other concubines knew that he was going to eat locusts, he would not be able to be alone! After breaking free from Li Shimin's hand, Changsun said angrily: "I don't want to eat that food. If you want to eat it, I won't eat it anyway."
For women, there is nothing more disgusting than bugs inside cockroaches. Thinking of eating those colorful bugs into her stomach, she immediately shuddered and firmly shook her head at the emperor, determined not to eat!
"Who made His Majesty eat locusts? This person should be cut into pieces. Such thoughts are extremely vicious!" Changsun said angrily.
Li Shimin couldn't help it, so he told his wife what happened today and the meaning of eating locusts.
"So you have to eat it?"
After listening to Li Shimin's story, the eldest grandson felt helpless.
"Yes, otherwise it will be difficult for us to go through this. When the time comes, those aristocratic families will have to put this shit basin on my head. At that time, we will be passive."
Li Shimin was also helpless. One was to face the censure of the aristocratic family and the abuse of the people; the other was to endure the nausea and eat that stuff to win the survival and praise of the people.
For the emperor, this was nothing to worry about. He could just endure it and it would be over. It was no big deal.
The eldest grandson's face turned green and white, and in the end he tore the handkerchief in his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Then eat, you have to eat, no matter if you are a concubine or a prince or princess."
In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. As a royal family, it is a huge advantage to be able to endure the temporary nausea and bring long-term peace and stability to the Tang Dynasty.
"You won't eat it raw!" Changsun felt a wave of nausea at the thought of swallowing the green bug alive.
"Ouch! Vomit!"
"Are you okay?" Li Shimin felt worried when he saw his look, and patted her back in concern.
It took a while for the grandson to feel better. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just disgusted."
"One more thing"
"More?" Now the eldest grandson couldn't bear it anymore and started to retching again, leaving only the emperor messy in the wind.
He said helplessly: "It's not about eating bugs, it's about how to tell other people about this matter?" Li Shimin was a little worried. His eldest grandson, who understands righteousness well, is like this. Others can imagine it!
"Humph, I'm ready to eat, and they still have a choice? Tell you, no way! When those foxy girls come to you to beg for mercy, you agree to give one a try!" Changsun finally took out the food of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. Majesty, he said to Li Shimin.
Hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed, as long as he didn't say it when I think of beauties begging for mercy, I can't agree, but I'm worried that I'm soft-hearted! Thinking of this, he said to the queen: "I will visit the military camp in the next few days, and I will leave the palace to you."
"Ha! You really know how to find a place!" Changsun mocked.
"Hey, with a good helper like Guanyin, I can rest assured, right?" It seems that this guy is also an expert in love. What he said is ridiculous!
"Hmph! Just say it nicely!" Changsun said disdainfully.
"what!"
"In that case, let me compensate you well, hahaha!" It turned out that Qi's eldest grandson didn't pay attention, so Li Shimin picked her up and walked straight to the back (the harmonious dividing line!)
Ji Song left the palace alone without staying at all. He asked Daniel to go home and said that he would not go back for the time he walked directly to the Sinong Temple official office.
"Let Liu Zhan come over!"
"promise!"
Yao Chang had already returned to Haorui County, leaving Liu Zhan alone.
"Master Marquis, are you looking for me?" After a while, Liu Zhan ran over panting.
"Well! Sit down!"
"I'm looking for you this time to entrust you with something important to handle!" Ji Song said directly.
When Liu Zhan heard this, he stood up and clasped his fists gratefully: "Please give me your orders, Lord Marquis!"
"You went to buy chickens and ducks in the name of Sinong Temple. I also asked the housekeeper to do this, but this is different. Our Sinong Temple has a weak foundation, so we just do what we can, and we can collect as much as we can. Next Very useful.
After buying them back, they are given to the old, weak, women and children who open up wasteland to be raised freely, and they are put on our cleared land. But remember, you are not allowed to kill them without authorization. Even the eggs that are laid must be collected and re-egged to harvest more. Chickens and ducks.
As for what to do, don’t ask any questions, just do , collect chestnut seeds and let the children scatter them by the river and in dry places on the hillsides."
Ji Song said a lot. Liu Zhan remembered it at first, but in the end he could only take notes on didn't ask why. This was something he and Ji Song had learned over a long period of time.
What should be told to you, you will tell without you are not supposed to know, I won’t tell you even if you believed that the Marquis had his own purpose for doing this, but now was not the time to tell him!
"You have to do these things immediately. Time is very tight. Your Majesty and others are also doing these things. But you have to remember not to spread it everywhere, quietly. When someone asks, just say it is because the children have nothing to do all day. Find something for them to do." Ji Song explained patiently.
"I understand!" Liu Zhan assured.
Ji Song is still relieved about what needs to be explained must still be explained clearly.
"Things are very important, but they are not easy to make public. Just grasp the scale!" Ji Song finally said.
Regarding this matter, Ji Song knew it when he saw that Li Shimin had no follow-up arrangements, and he did not want to make it known to this time, he still doesn’t know who is hiding in the harem and plotting against him!
I fell asleep after writing another chapter. I was too sleepy.
