According to the current development of the situation, more and more locusts will be sent to the state pastor's house, and at that time, even the state treasury will be difficult to hold.

Under Lu Bu's order, 30,000 catties of locusts were ground into powder and mixed with noodles to make dough cakes.

Locusts are rich in protein, and the fragrance of the noodles when mixed with locust powder is very attractive, and the soldiers in charge of cooking do not know that the powder they use is made of locusts, otherwise they would definitely not have the intoxicated appearance they have now.

These days, because of the influx of refugees, the soldiers in the army are also tightening their belts to live, and they have not eaten meat for a few days.

Chen Tian looked at Lu Bu for some reason, but he knew that Lu Bu had asked everyone to gather here to deal with the locust matter, how could he order someone to bring a large cake, not to mention, it was already noon, smelling the fragrance of the cake, it was really a little tempting, judging from the fragrance, this must be a meat pie.

The steaming flatbread was sent to the civil and military generals, although the flatbread was very tempting, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Bu, they knew that Lu Bu let them come here, and they definitely didn't just eat flatbread.

"I'm sure some of you already know Benhou's purpose for letting you come." Lu Bu smiled mysteriously.

When everyone heard this, they whispered and talked about it.

"Eat the bread first." Lu Bu took the lead in picking up the flatbread on the table and chewing it slowly.

When the generals in the army heard this, they couldn't care about anything, and they devoured the flatbread, but in comparison, the civilian officials were more subtle, after all, they were literati, and they still attached great importance to eating.

Dian Wei didn't move the big bread in front of him, but he saw the locusts ground into powder, and then mixed into the noodles, although the taste was very attractive, but thinking of those strange-shaped locusts, he swallowed hard.

"General Dian, if you don't eat it, let it be eaten by the lowly position." Guan Yu saw that Dian Wei was unmoved, and said with a smile, the taste of the flatbread is really good, he is sure that this flatbread must be mixed with meat, otherwise, how can it be so fragrant.

Seeing Dian Wei nodding, Guan Yu impatiently picked up the big cake in front of Dian Wei, for fear that Dian Wei would regret it, what made Guan Yu suspicious was that Dian Wei had a strange and unpredictable smile on his face, which made him shudder, and even the speed of eating the cake was a lot slower.

After Lu Bu finished eating the flatbread, he looked at everyone and asked with a smile, "Everyone, how is the question of this bread?" ”

When everyone heard this, they praised each other, especially the generals in the army, and they were full of praise, how could there be meat in the flatbread that the soldiers in the army usually eat, let alone all the white noodles, and they would definitely be mixed with some miscellaneous noodles.

"In the future, the soldiers in the army will eat these meatloaf and resume three meals a day." Lu Bu said with a smile that with more and more locusts, the shortage of food and grass was greatly alleviated.

"Thank you, Marquis Jin." The generals of the army thanked excitedly, these days, the food of the soldiers in the army is deducted, it is impossible for the soldiers to have no complaints, if there are these meatloaf, they can better appease the soldiers.

"My lord, when the state is in danger now, the officers and men in the army can be fed and clothed, so don't spend so much." Li Yan hugged his fist.

Lu Bu glanced at Li Yan with satisfaction, Li Yan has become mature in the wars again and again, and he has considered things more comprehensively, given time, he will definitely be able to make a big difference, and he can go from an ordinary soldier to the point where he is now, it can be said that Li Yan himself is a person with a talent for fighting.

"General Li doesn't need to worry, although there is an influx of refugees in Bingzhou, there is still no shortage of such a big pie." Lu Bu laughed, "Do you know what these meatloafs are made of?" ”

Seeing that everyone was staring at him with burning eyes, Lu Bu's face showed a malicious smile: "Do you remember the locusts that the Governor's Mansion bought from the people outside the city?" ”

Everyone nodded, and Chen Tian seemed to remember something, his face suddenly turned pale, but he clearly remembered that Lu Bu was going to give locusts to the refugees and soldiers in Bingzhou, could it be that the meat smell in the flatbread just now was brought by locusts, if that's the case, wouldn't it be ...... Chen Tian was completely messy, and he couldn't find the right words to describe his state of mind at this time.

Suddenly, he remembered that Dian Wei didn't seem to move the meatloaf in front of him, which also confirmed his guess even more, after all, Dian Wei had been following Lu Bu's side.

"The taste of locusts is indeed good, and Ben Hou has not eaten it for a long time." Lu Bu said unsatisfactorily.

"Locusts smell good?" Everyone had questions, not to mention anything else, the disgusting appearance of the locusts made people unable to arouse their desire for food.

"Doesn't the flatbread feel delicious? That's right, these flatbreads are mixed with locusts, which are naturally fragrant. Lu Bu laughed.

Everyone's complexion changed again and again, and they were stunned.

And Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked calm, they knew that this time the cake would not be so simple, the 30,000 catties of locusts in the warehouse were transported away, and the next day Lu Bu was inviting all the officials and generals to eat the cake, all of which revealed weirdness.

"The locusts ate the food on which the people depended, and Benhou ate them." Lu Bu said coldly.

Only then did everyone remember that Lu Bu had also eaten a lot of flatbread, and even Lu Bu's face did not change, as subordinates, how could they behave worse.

"Jin Hou Yingming!" Everyone said in unison.

"Locusts, Ben Hou has eaten a lot, not only delicious, but also good for people's health, the most important thing is that this kind of thing is very cheap, merchants in Jizhou and other places can not buy grain and grass, you can order them to buy dried locusts, two catties and a penny, presumably the people will also flock to it, and after these locusts arrive in Bingzhou, they will become the grain and grass of the army." Lu Budao.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "What the lord said is very true, if there is enough grain and grass in the army, why worry about not being able to break through Hedong, and then defeat the traitor Li Dao, Guo Yan and others." ”

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "In this way, even if there are 100,000 refugees in the state, they are not afraid, but the matter of eating locusts in the state should not be spread, otherwise the purchase of locusts will definitely be as difficult as the purchase of grain and grass." ”

And the state needs a lot of grain and grass, during this time, in Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places, wantonly buy grain and grass, of course, businessmen around the country is also taking the opportunity to raise the price, after all, there are not many opportunities to earn money in the state, and the grain and grass in the two places are not very much, it is reasonable to secretly raise the price, as everyone knows, Mi Zhu is to pull all these people into the blacklist, he believes that the state will get out of this catastrophe, and then it is the time to let those businessmen pay the price.
