Chapter 154: The price has risen and is popular
Li Shimin came in a hurry, hurried away, and after getting Shu An's affirmative answer, it seemed that he was going to go back to see some things.
After all, this matter still needs to be discussed with the generals, and it is also appropriate to consider how many locusts are suitable to buy.
After Shu An looked at the departing figures of Li Shimin and the others, a trace of thought appeared on his face.
It seems that the price of locusts will rise in the future, but it should be a happy event for the refugees.
"An Xuan, this matter should have been planned by you, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental."
Sun Simiao on the side couldn't help but speak, with a hint of affirmation in his words.
The timing of this emperor's arrival is too coincidental, you must know that in Sun Simiao's cognition, this old friend is the best at calculation.
"Perhaps!"
Shu An seemed to have some indifference in saying that there was no difference between whether this matter was his calculation or not.
Anyway, for Li Shimin, there is nothing to lose, locusts are indeed similar to meat to a certain extent.
As long as the training method is appropriate, it is not a problem to train an elite soldier, and it also has a lot of benefits for Datang.
It was too much of a surprise to say, although he did intend to raise the price of locusts.
If there is interest, then there is no need for him to speak out, there will be a lot of businessmen rushing up, and he is at most a promoter.
After Li Shimin returned to the palace, several other people also returned to their homes, among which Fang Xuanling, who returned to his mansion, looked absent-minded.
It seemed that he was thinking about something, because after knowing about the locust, Fang Xuanling's ingenuity naturally saw the benefits.
In addition, Fang Xuanling was shy in his pocket during this period of time, and the family's finances were not in his own hands, so he naturally wanted to make some money.
Of course, as a scholar, if Fang Xuanling does some businessmen above board, his reputation may be lost.
So this matter needs a trusted person to do, such as An Xuangong letting his niece take charge of heaven and earth.
Even if no one can say anything, after all, she is originally a woman, and her status may not be as good as a businessman, so naturally no one says anything.
It's not just Fang Xuanling, the other two who returned to the mansion have some plans, after all, everywhere costs money.
......
Time did not pass long, and there were a few more people in Chang'an to buy locusts, and this time it was only eight taels for a penny.
This couldn't help but make the entire Chang'an fall into a kind of doubt again, could this locust really be a treasure, otherwise how could so many people buy it.
Is there a business opportunity in it that I don't understand, but no one knows the answer?
And Li Shimin also made a move, directly summoned these generals, didn't say anything, and put a pot of fried locusts in front of one person.
"Today, I have a piece of food to share with you."
Li Shimin's face was as usual, as if he really got something, and he said loudly.
It's just that the faces of the generals showed a wry smile, because the thing in front of them was not a locust.
But when everyone saw that His Majesty actually ate it first, for a moment, no one hesitated about these generals.
And Li Shimin, who saw this scene, showed a smile on his face, and then his voice sounded slowly.
"There's nothing wrong with locusts, but it's also a rare delicacy."
"The most important thing is that after the determination of Yafu and Sun Shenyi, this locust can be compared to meat."
"That's why I've decided to let the locusts into the Forbidden Army's food, but at the same time to strengthen training."
.......
is different from those civil ministers, Li Shimin can directly give orders to these generals, after all, these were all his subordinates when he was in the Tiance Mansion.
The key is that Li Shimin is reasonable, whether it is An Xuangong or Sun Simiao, they are both world-famous figures, so naturally they will not cheat on this kind of thing.
As for the increase in food, then the training should also be increased, and these are the things of the generals in front of them.
At this time, the general's complexion changed a lot while eating fried locusts, obviously thinking about something.
First of all, this locust tastes really good, it seems that it must be a kind of food that can't run away, as for the meat comparison, this news is shocking.
How could they not know what that meant, so His Majesty's words that followed did not make them feel that something was wrong.
If you can eat meat, you will naturally have to increase your training, but whether the soldiers will accept locusts is still a question, and this is what this prince is worried about.
But His Majesty has already made a decision, so naturally they have no reason to refuse.
What's more, it is very rare to be able to get Wenchen to support it, and it is also a large amount of money to buy locusts.
There has never been an impermeable wall in the world, and in a short period of time, the gossip about this His Majesty's decision has reached the ears of some well-intentioned people.
"What? Locusts can be eaten, and they are comparable to meat? ”
"How is this possible, there are only a few locusts now, and they are not even a tenth of the price of rice."
.....
After a moment of shock, these people were on their minds, and at this time they didn't understand what it meant to be stupid.
No wonder Chang'an had more locusts to buy before, it turned out that these people must have known the news in advance, and they couldn't help but secretly scold these people for not being authentic.
As a result, the purchase price of locusts in Chang'an continued to rise, which couldn't help but make the refugees dumbfounded, as if they didn't understand the changes.
"If it weren't for An Xuangong taking the lead in buying locusts, how would we know that these locusts are so valuable!"
However, the next remark instantly made all the refugees agree, all of which was brought by An Xuangong.
If they want to be grateful now, they will thank An Xuangong, but even if they have thanked many times before, they are still full of gratitude.
Now Shu An has invisibly become the most trusted person among these refugees in Guannai.
And there is also a news that has spread in Chang'an, it is said that His Majesty has eaten locusts, and the princes have also eaten it.
It is precisely for this reason that even those officials naturally bought some locusts back and wanted to give it a try.
Of course, some people began to order this dish of fried locusts in heaven and earth, because it is said that this is what His Majesty and the Duke of Kingdom eat today.
All in all, eating locusts began to become popular in Chang'an, and after overcoming their own fears, there is no doubt that the taste of locusts is not as unpalatable as imagined.
In particular, some chefs have developed various dishes to eat locusts, and in this case, the price of locusts has also risen.
