Chapter 423

Tai Chi palace.

Li Shimin rarely appreciates Xiaoqu. He looks at Xiaoqu with empress Chang sun and Li Chengqian and talks about family life. Are you comfortable?

Now the plague of locusts has been settled.

Moreover, Li Shimin was a little worried because he had already begun to hoard grain and dug up grain in Tubo by various means.

That's too much.

But just a few days ago.

The Turk finally couldn't sit still.

Since Cheng Yaojin went to Longyou, although the war among the Turkic tribes has not ended, the number of Turks who came to exchange food with cattle and sheep is increasing day by day.

And such a thing, on the first day, the trading volume reached 3000 horses, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, needless to say.

That's too many to count.

However, this has also become a worry for Li Shimin.

Fortunately, the feed factory was officially put into use. In fact, it was not troublesome. According to a list given by Zhang Feng, you only need to grind the locusts into powder, live, and then tie the forage into small sections. Soak the locusts in water for one night.

Each cow and horse only need 30 kilograms of forage every day, and the cattle and horses they eat are like spring.

This scene could not help but let Li Shimin and other officials see business opportunities again.

Locusts are in great demand now.

If you have less money?

Then you don't deserve to buy locusts!

Now, the people are happy.

The original purchase price of a kilogram of locusts was three Wen to five Wen, but now it's not enough. You don't deserve to see the shadow of locusts if you don't have five Wen to go up!

And now the people of Datang are also crazy. No matter men, women, old and young, as soon as they go out, their eyes are narrowed into slit eyes. Why?

Looking for locusts!

The withered grass and leaves have turned rotten. I wish the bluestone floor tiles on Chang'an Street were buckled down and checked. As long as locusts can be found on the beam of the house, even on the edge of the pit, everywhere is full of people.

Now the chicken and duck army is miserable.

At first, they were all manly, but now?

I'm so hungry that I have no energy to walk. I squat on the corner to eat.

Here, there are people squatting next to chickens and ducks watching.

How can Li Shimin not be pleased with such a scene?

People's pockets are bulging, and the natural consumption level has also improved. They only dare to see and buy things on weekdays. Now they wave their hands.

Buy!

Can he be unhappy?

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Good!"

Li Shimin couldn't help giggling as he watched the singer's performance.

The eldest grandson was silent for a while.

"Are you still laughing? Sometimes when you're worried, I really don't understand. Why did you get those cattle, horses and sheep back? Now we're full, but we don't have any money left to serve those things!"

"Empress mother, you have wronged your father!"

Li Chengqian shook his head in silence.

Li Shimin couldn't help but brighten his eyes.

"Chengqian, you have learned a lot from brother Zhang Feng during this time. Then tell me, if you were you, how would you deal with these cattle and sheep?"

"Father!"

Hearing the speech, Li Chengqian hugged his fist and pondered for a while: "if it was on Zhang Feng, this goods must be the first time to find a person carrying the pot, just like everything before. He is too lazy, but now if we turn around and think about it, these cattle, sheep and horses are indeed a disadvantage, but also a great advantage!"

Talking room.

Li Shimin waved and dismissed all the singers.

Li Chengqian also got up, bowed in front of Li Shimin and said, "we can't afford these cattle and sheep. If this goes on in the long run, it will bring us down, but you forget that we have so many people!"

"| my son and minister have investigated before. Now, even the people of Chang'an City, there are less than one in ten people who can own cattle and sheep. On the one hand, they can't afford cattle and sheep. On the other hand, it's also because it's scarce and in short supply, but now it's different. What if we just lend them all these cattle and sheep according to the method of brother Zhang Feng?"

The eldest sun Wugou stared at Li Chengqian when he heard his words.

"The cattle and sheep are living creatures. How can I borrow them?"

"Hahaha, don't get angry, Guanyin maidservant. First listen to Chengqian's method!"

Li Shimin actually thought of it when Li Chengqian said about the people.

But now, he also wants to listen to Li Chengqian's views. After all, he has been in contact with Zhang Feng for so long. If he hasn't learned anything, it's obviously impossible.

Hearing the speech, Li Chengqian said, "father, Queen, this borrowing is such a borrowing method. Each family can receive two cows, one male and one female, but it needs to be reported to the government and pay a deposit of five Liang silver. At this time, can it reflect the role of the cooperative society?"

"If you only receive one cow, you only need to pay one or two silver!"

Hearing the speech, the eldest grandson frowned and asked, "in that case, isn't it a business?"

Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a smile, "empress mother, I haven't finished yet!"

"The most important thing is that no matter how many cubs the cattle and sheep produce in a year, the government doesn't care. They just need to return the rented cattle on schedule!"

Hearing the speech, empress Chang sun's face suddenly changed.

"What are you talking about?"
