Prayer Department.

Qin Lang finally welcomed the emperor's envoy who had been waiting for a long time.

"Duke of Yiguo, Your Majesty has a verbal order to spread to you."

"I am Qin Lang listening to the sages!"

"Get to the East Palace immediately."

The sacred edict was very short, just one sentence. Qin Lang felt that this was a good thing after hearing this. It was probably anger of Li Shimin. He was finally overwhelmed by the sanctioner, and he felt relieved.

The eunuch who came to announce the oral order thought Qin Lang was worried, but secretly reminded him, "Duke Yiguo, please rest assured. Your mood was pretty good when you descended to this oral order, and you were still laughing when you said this."

Qin Lang was stunned and thanked the eunuch who boldly disclosed the secret of the ban, and was puzzled.

Eastern Palace.

Li Shimin saw Qin Qiong away, returned to the couch and took a sip of tea, and laughed.

"This little bastard wants to rob and avoid laziness all day long. At this critical moment, he still wants to hide. If this little bastard had not dealt with this shocking case these days, I might have believed Wei Zheng's nonsense, corruption and dereliction of duty? If you really want to be self-deprecating, you should do more. It's a big deal to do such a 2-small grain!"

Although there is indeed a violation of the matter of privately dividing food, it has not been put into Qin Lang's own pocket. Someone secretly called Qin Lang and said that he was a favor to win people's hearts. Li Shimin didn't believe that Qin Lang was just a sixteen-year-old boy, so what kind of bad intentions could he have?

If Qin Qiong was the one who distributed tens of thousands of stones of food in private, he might have to think about it carefully.

As for Qin Lang, let it go.

"minister·····"

As soon as Qin Lang entered the hall, he just spoke, but Li Shimin glared at him, "I'm sorry, come with me."

“Where to go?”

"The chicken is out of its shell." Li Shimin said, almost making Qin Lang flash.

He has been busy investigating the case these days, almost bringing up the entire Chang'an City, and really forgot about the greenhouse. Calculate the time, it seems that it has been about twenty days.

I followed Li Shimin to the greenhouse and found that Li Lizhi was there, Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Ke and others were there, and Empress Sun was there.

In the greenhouse, a group of chicks were chirping.

Princess Changle grabbed a handful of small rice in her hand and was sprinkling two pieces on the ground, attracting the fur-filled chicks to chase them happily.

These little chicks screamed in their hair and jumped around, which was so cute.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come here to eat rice."

"Xiao Hei, please let Xiaobai eat some too."

Li Lizhi was particularly concerned about the chickens she named.

After Li Shimin came in, he looked at the wife, children and children, and was very happy, with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that you really hatched the chickens without using the old hens. The chickens broke out from their shells early this morning, and so many of them have now."

Chengqian shouted, "Father, there are 37 chickens in total that have emerged from their shells, all of which are very healthy."

Li Tai shouted, "We have checked according to the bachelor's method. There are thirty-seven chickens, a total of thirteen roosters and twenty-four hens."

A group of princes and princesses have even divided the group of chickens and have named their own chickens.

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed.

The chicken broke out of its shell, making Li Shimin look up to his young son-in-law again.

After staying in the greenhouse for a while, Li Shimin pulled Qin Lang out.

"Can these chicks grow up without a hen belt after they come out of their shells?"

"Of course it's OK. Just pay attention to feeding and keep warm at night. At the beginning, give these chickens some small rice, and then add some bran, vegetables, etc. It doesn't matter when you grow up, just keep it normally."

Li Shimin was more concerned about how many eggs Qin Lang collected and hatched.

"a lot of."

"How do you plan to raise so many chickens?"

"Build a shed to breed, feed, and semi-free-raised."

"Just feeding food, will the more you raise the chickens, the more you lose?" Now the food price is so high, and you may not be able to buy so much food if you have money.

"So I plan to raise some maggots and some earthworms. In addition, the feed may not be used for grain. Isn't there many locust eggs in the river beaches and other places now? I have sent people to promote it everywhere and purchase these locust eggs from the people. I collect locust eggs to feed, mix some tender grass carp bones and other powders, and the chicken raising effect is very good."

Li Shimin was half-believing and half-doubted, but since hens hatched chickens without hesitation, he felt that what Qin Lang said was possible.

"Did you have already figured out a way out for yourself and planned to resign from the tutor to raise chickens?"

"Your Majesty, I am not raising chickens, but I am just looking for a way to save disasters and cure locusts, and I am also doing my part to famine."

Li Shimin was silent.

After a long time, he took the initiative, "You suggested to me that you would take the officials and soldiers to Luoyang to eat, and you would start moving the people to Shannan, Huainan and other places in advance. After thinking about it, I thought it would be better."

"Your Majesty, why?"

Li Shimin said, "The Turks invaded several times, and once the situation was critical. **** thought about moving the capital to Shannan, but I firmly opposed it. Although the situation is serious now, I think it will not be more critical than that time. As long as the court is united, it can always overcome difficulties and overcome this barrier."

As the emperor, he had his considerations.

The rebellion case of the Two Kings just happened reminded Li Shimin that he has not yet completely controlled the world, and there are still many people who are not convinced of him.

If such a large-scale migration is carried out at this time, even if you only take shelter and eat temporarily, it will easily cause a lot of turmoil and may cause many unpredictable situations.

In this case, Li Shimin planned to use static to brake.

Qin Lang was not too disappointed when he heard this result, because he had guessed it.

After being extremely disappointed, there is nothing to be disappointed, after all, I have no hope.

"Huailiang, I have throttled you 30,000 people. I hope you can guard Chang'an City for me and look forward to your family at this critical moment. Although you are young, I know that you are loyal and trustworthy."

Qin Lang could only smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, in this way, the responsibilities of the tutoring department are too great. I am afraid that I cannot afford it."

"With me supporting you, what are you afraid of?"

"Your Majesty, my father is the general of the Left Guard, and it is another matter of Pingzhang. The left and right Guards are in charge of guarding the imperial city and are responsible for guarding the imperial city. Now Your Majesty has asked me to supervise the nine gates to command the six streets. This outer city of the imperial city is led by my father and son. It is a taboo thing. I request to avoid it."

"I believe in Shubao and you!"

"Your Majesty, I and my father are naturally loyal to Your Majesty and the court. However, avoiding is a system and cannot be destroyed because of this, otherwise it will be a bad start and there will be endless troubles."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this. It's okay to tell you now. I have decided to take your father's position as Minister of War, so he will step down as General of the Left Guard by then, so you don't need to avoid it."

"Your Majesty, my father is appointed as the Minister of War, and I should also avoid it."

"The Ministry of War does not care about the tutoring department, so you don't need to avoid it." Li Shimin did not give Qin Lang a chance to refuse. "Don't let it go, just do this job well."

"Your Majesty, I have arrested all the people I should arrest, and I have also reviewed all the people I should review, and I have also copied all the people I should copy. There is nothing to do."

Li Shimin glared at him angrily, "Fuck, the tutoring department is responsible for the heavy responsibility, how can it be done? How many Li Xiaochang, Li Youliang, Liu Deyu are conspiring to join forces in this court? How many Li Yi are planning to be ill? Not to mention anything else, Chang'an is now food is tight, and you say that the locust plague is coming, can't you think of a way to overcome this difficulty for me?"

"Your Majesty, what can I think of? It's nothing more than a war to block the general, and a flood of water and soil. I'll treat my head when I'm having a headache, but a foot hurts. Now Chang'an is short of food, so I can only find a way to transport grain from outside the pass, increase the source and reduce expenditure. Increase grain input, and at the same time strengthen control of the precious grain input, so that it can no longer flow into the hands of those profiteers, and it cannot become a tool for them to make money."

Li Shimin nodded, "You are right, so I will hand over this task to you."

Qin Lang was helpless.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the food emergency management order be implemented in the Gyeonggi region be implemented immediately. For the food in the Gyeonggi region, except for the food left by the people, the food in the Gyeonggi region will be collected by the court, and will be purchased at market prices, and then stored in the official warehouse and stored in a unified manner, and will be distributed and supplied to the people in the Gyeonggi at a fair price. It is prohibited to buy, sell and hoard the food at will, in order to make the food in the Gyeonggi truly used in disaster relief."

Li Shimin thought for a while, "If you act like this, you will be afraid that you will be prone to chaos."

"In extraordinary times, you can only use extraordinary methods. Otherwise, if this continues, the people of Chang'an will no longer be able to buy grain or cannot afford it, then there will be even greater chaos."

"I authorize you. If a traitor takes advantage of this crisis and robbery, the sanctuary department can crack down on it severely."

"Your Majesty, I think at this critical moment, the court can issue an order to encourage merchants and civilians to transport grain into the pass. It can be similar to the system of grain exported in the Han Dynasty. For each grain transported to Chang'an, it will be awarded a first-level medal or a first-level official position to encourage merchants and civilians to transport grain into the pass."

The Han Dynasty's remittance of grain and titles was actually to spend grain and buy titles. Now Qin Lang proposed to encourage everyone to use grain to buy titles, which is also a temporary emergency solution.

"Okay, I'll let the prime ministers discuss it and come up with a standard." Li Shimin had no resistance to this. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to win people's hearts or strive for support, various honorary officials were awarded with scattered ranks all over the sky, and even the titles were awarded many.

The honorary rank is not a substantial official position, so the impact will not be too great.

Li Shimin chatted with Qin Lang for a long time, and finally parted with satisfaction.

"Look at Xiaogong and other families, don't forget Li Yi in the local area, and Pei Ji who has returned to Puzhou..." Li Shimin repeatedly told him to strengthen the surveillance of those types of people, after all, these people are not his people.

After Qin Lang finally left the East Palace and rode back to the Duke's Mansion of Pingkangfang, he asked, and the eggs in his greenhouses were breaking out one after another, with an astonishing hatch rate.

"Start notify everyone to get the chicken."

"Ten eggs are exchanged for one chicken, it's still effective!"

"Something can be exchanged!"

"Organize some men and transport some chickens to the counties below to sell."

Qin Lang calculated the time and said that the locust eggs were almost going to hatch. Now we will have a race of time to see how many chickens and ducks he can hatch, and how many chickens and ducks he can raise.

"Also, continue to purchase locust eggs. Locust eggs can be exchanged for money, chickens and duck cubs, or food. We can change as much as we have."

Qin Lang believes that with his chickens and ducks on the market, everyone will probably be very interested in a transaction like eggs for chickens and cubs. The transaction volume is probably ushering in an explosive period. While there is still some time, try to collect eggs and hatch as much as possible.

He only hopes that when locusts come, there will be countless chickens and ducks in the fields in the capital and the fields.

Li Shimin now basically believes that there will be an outbreak of autumn locusts this year, but he has no good solution to the locust plague, and it is basically a passive response.
