    The thought of operating on the richest salt merchant in the world made Emperor Jinghe feel happy.

    From last night to just now, he always felt like there was a big mountain pressing on him, preventing him from breathing.

    But after listening to Liu Mingqi¡¯s series of methods, miraculously, most of the important and acute problems were solved.

    ¡°And it was solved without hurting the foundation of the empire or the interests of the majority of people, which is very commendable.

    Even last night and this morning, the solutions discussed by a large number of important officials in the imperial court were not as good as Liu Mingqi's idea alone.

    ?Perhaps this is because the authorities are confused by the onlookers?

    It seems that in the future, letting Ming Qi look at problems from a detached position outside the court will be more effective for the crown prince after he succeeds to the throne.

    It¡¯s hard to imagine how Liu Mingqi, who has grown up over the past ten or twenty years, will be as wise as a demon by then?

    I feel a little envious of the prince myself!

    His thoughts passed by in a flash, and Emperor Jinghe said to Zhao Shou: "Zhao Shou will make a note of it. When things come to an end here, we will announce to both the court and the public during the Chinese New Year that Mingqi, the crown prince of Prince Yu, is loyal to the king, dedicated to the country, and has made great contributions to the world. Specially."  I will give the prince and his son four stipends, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will build a royal palace in the inner city for Mingqi's use."

    "According to the order!"

    Zhao Shou ran to the small table next to him. He took a piece of paper and wrote it down. He was ready to write it out during the Chinese New Year and ask the emperor to issue it with his seal.

    While writing, Zhao Shou was filled with admiration in his heart.

    He listened to Liu Mingqi¡¯s various suggestions throughout the whole process, and looking back now, he couldn¡¯t help but admire them.

    Prince Yu has the talent of a prime minister, but it is a pity that he has such talent!

    ?????????????????????? However, the prince¡¯s prince¡¯s salary was four, which was rare in the entire Dakang Dynasty. Prince Yu¡¯s prince was in the limelight this time.

    There are also county prince mansions, which are usually converted from the prince's own mansion - once the prince dies, his descendants will move out of the imperial city and live in the inner or outer city.

    The Prince's Mansion in the Imperial City only allows generations of princes to live there.

    ??????????????? For Prince Yu, who was rewarded by the emperor with a mansion regulated by the prince in advance, it was a great favor.

    Of course, it is natural for Crown Prince Yu to receive such a reward based on his achievements today.

    Even if it¡¯s twice as much, it¡¯s not too much.

    Liu Mingqi also thanked the emperor with a smile.

    When the three of them sat down again, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

    ¡°When it comes to this method of controlling locusts, can¡¯t we be more proactive?¡± Liu Mingqi asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

    "There are some, but most of them treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and they don't even achieve one-tenth of the effect. Instead, they consume a lot of manpower and material resources, making people feel powerless." Miao Yan replied.

    ¡°How is it done specifically?¡± the young man asked.

    Miao Yan then realized that Liu Mingqi was not just asking for fun, and said: "There are two most effective ways. The first is to build shacks next to the fields and light them on fire at night, so that the locusts will be attracted.  However, the disadvantage of this method is that once the fire starts, the fields will be easily burned, and in the end the fire will destroy the food in the fields.

    The second method is to dig trenches and put bait. When the locusts fall down to eat, water is poured in to completely drown them.  It can also eliminate a lot of locusts.

    As for the rest, using nets to catch the locusts, including the human-wearing type, the bag-picking type, the net-closing type, the fish-foil type, etc., including letting chickens and ducks eat locusts, also has certain effects.

    However, these methods combined seem to have eliminated a lot, but the next day the locusts continued to devour the field grains overwhelmingly until all the grains were eaten up. This made people feel that they had done nothing, which was very  pain.  "

    Liu Mingqi frowned: "So this time, the court's response is to let them attack?"

    "That's something that can't be helped." Miao Yan pounded the table, "Your Highness, you ask, can you think of any solution?"

    When he said this, even Jing and Emperor became interested.

    ¡°If Liu Mingqi can come up with a good way to eliminate locusts, it will definitely be of benefit to the present generation and will benefit the future.

    A lot of things later will be saved.

    But Liu Mingqi quickly shook his head: "It is impossible to exterminate the locusts. The method I think of may not be as good as before.nbsp; If Liu Mingqi hadn¡¯t had so many rich experiences, and if he hadn¡¯t been fond of tossing and pondering since he was a child, how could he be the astoundingly talented Crown Prince he is today?

    It seems that studying is not enough, you also need to get in touch with reality!

    "Since locusts are edible, I can buy large quantities of the locusts they catch from the common people." Liu Mingqi said to himself, "Don't our family sell steamed buns and rice porridge every day? Who will buy them in the future?  If they want something to eat, give them a bag of fried locusts After eating them a few times and getting to know the taste, they will naturally get used to it, and they might even catch them themselves!"

    Emperor Jinghe said nothing and only looked at him with "you are dreaming" eyes.

    The young man smiled and said: "Well, actually, these must be a minority. I mostly use them on the pigs I raise. I dry these locusts and grind them into powder, and add them to the feed for the pigs. The pigs will definitely grow longer.  It¡¯s fat and strong, and the meat tastes really delicious!¡±

    Regarding the matter of raising pigs, the case that happened to be triggered was heard by Miao Yan. Hearing this, he also thought about it: "Your Highness, you raised pigs outside the city, and they were actually used for food? You have you ever eaten pork?  "

    Liu Mingqi nodded: "Pork is a delicacy in the world Your Majesty, please don't look at me with this expression. The pork I am talking about is different from what you think. You will know it later."

    Although Liu Mingqi said this, Jing Hedi still looked disgusted. This brat really dared to eat anything!

    Zhao Shou also had the same expression.

    He has eaten pork since he was a child. He will never forget the smell of pork. How could it be delicious?

    "No matter what, if the common people are willing to catch locusts, the disasters caused by locusts will be reduced. This can be considered my small contribution!" The young man could only conclude this way.

    Although Emperor Jinghe dislikes Liu Mingqi's eating, it is good to give the common people motivation.

    So he pondered and said: "How many locusts can your family collect? Let's do this. I will give you ten thousand taels of silver, which can be considered as funding for your idea."

    "I thought you could subsidize me 100,000 to 80,000 yuan." Liu Mingqi said eagerly.

    "Go! Go! Go!"

    The emperor waved his sleeves with a look of disgust on his face: "Do you think my inner treasury is a cornucopia, and I can't even use up all the gold? If it weren't for the great achievements you made today, I wouldn't accompany you to fool around!"

    In his heart, this was purely a reward for his nephew, but he never thought it would really have any effect.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
