Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 477 'Gourmet' Li Shimin
The problem now is whether or not the plague of locusts can be wiped out, this person needs to calm down first!
Although this potato has stabilized people's hearts to a certain extent, and the people of Chang'an City have not suffered any losses, but the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin had to make a statement: After all, as the emperor, now that the locust plague is raging in the country, he must stand up and say something, right?

If he didn't say anything, wouldn't it appear that he, the emperor, didn't take this locust plague very seriously?

So Li Shimin simply ran out and made a show while the common people were watching the excitement today.

So the scene recorded in the history books appeared:
In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a drought in the capital, and locusts arose.

Emperor Taizong went into the garden to look at the grass. When he saw locusts, he picked up several locusts and cursed: "People depend on grain for their life, but if you eat it, it will harm the people. The people have made mistakes. If you give me one person, you have a spirit, but you should eat me." The heart is harmless to the common people." When he swallowed it, the left and right remonstrated: "I'm afraid you will become sick, don't do it." Taizong said: "I want to remove the disaster, how can I avoid the disease?" So he swallowed it.

Although it is a big foodie country, the common people dare not eat locusts these days.

Firstly, the appearance of this thing is so disgusting that it is hard to associate it with food.

Secondly, the people think that the locust plague is a punishment from heaven, so these locusts are the messengers sent by God, otherwise, the people would not have created so many locust temples to worship.

Since they are all envoys sent by heaven, naturally no one dares to eat them.

There is also a saying that the locusts are poisonous and will make you sick if you eat them. . .

Li Shimin is not sure about this point, but when he thinks that Wang Yin has a magic medicine that can cure all diseases, he hardens his heart: If he really gets sick from eating locusts, it will be a big deal to find Wang Yin to buy medicine. Anyway, recently Earn a lot. . .

Although locusts are indeed a delicacy, this refers to cooked ones. Li Shimin probably knows the taste of live locusts. . .

The taste of not knowing whether it is sour, spicy or bitter, the sour and refreshing Li Shimin almost ascended to heaven in place!

Especially when he just put it in his mouth, the locust's legs kicked hard in his mouth, it couldn't be more exciting. . .

But after all, he was the emperor, even though his heart was about to collapse, Li Shimin still didn't show it on his face, instead he calmly enjoyed the admiration and admiration of the common people.

Seeing that His Majesty took the risk of getting sick and ate the evil locusts, the people immediately applauded and cast all kinds of admiration and love at Li Shimin, shouting all kinds of words of praise for Li Shimin.

After all, in their view, although the locust is a messenger from heaven, the messenger brought them more disasters. Now that His Majesty is willing to stand up for him in this way, his heart is really moved!
It may be that the common people were so moved that what they said was a little too enthusiastic. To put it in a popular way, it is a bit too much flattery. . .

So much so that Li Shimin's thick skin was more or less embarrassed when he heard it in the end. . .

General House

"Oh shit!" After learning that Li Shimin had done such a violent thing today, Wang Yin immediately gave him a thumbs up with admiration: "Old Li, you are the real No. 1 foodie!"

"I can't help it either!" Li Shimin was depressed when he saw Wang Yin saying this: "Wang Yin, please help me to see if I'm sick now?"

To be honest, although he was thinking about buying medicine when he was sick, Li Shimin still felt a little distressed when he thought about spending so much money.

If there is no illness, it is naturally the best, and it can save a lot of money.

And even though several hours have passed, the sour feeling in his mouth is still very clear, and even thinking about it makes him feel sick. . .

Um. . .In fact, I have vomited several times since then. . .

What happened to Li Shimin has not eaten anything for more than ten hours, and he is so hungry that his eyes are staring at gold stars.

There is no way, I really can't eat it!
Now I feel nauseous when I see everything, and I feel like kicking my legs when I throw anything into my mouth. . .

"Although your way of eating is a bit strange," Wang Yin looked at Li Shimin with a smirk on his face, "But locusts are indeed edible."

"Is this food edible?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "So I'm all right?"

"Of course there is nothing else besides being disgusting." Wang Yin said with a smirk.

"Ugh..." Li Shimin retched a bit when he heard the words, and then glared at Wang Yin viciously: "Did you do it on purpose?!"

"Hey, you have discovered this." Wang Yin admitted unscrupulously: "Actually, as long as this thing is cooked, it is really delicious. There are people over there who just like this one. This is really I didn’t mean to disgust you.”

"In this way, if the common people are asked to catch locusts and eat them, wouldn't the plague of locusts be wiped out?" Li Shimin couldn't care less about his nausea when he heard this, and immediately looked at Wang Yin expectantly.

"Are you disgusted and stupid?" Wang Yin gave him a blank look when he saw this: "Isn't this locust just sitting there waiting for you to catch it?"

Hearing what Wang Yin said, Li Shimin was speechless immediately.

Yes, I was too excited to ignore it just now.

After all, locusts can fly, so how many can be caught by manpower. . .

"It's hard to grasp the age, but now that there are so many people, how can we grasp some," Wang Yin continued: "It's definitely not enough to eat, but it's okay to try something new."

"Okay," Li Shimin was too lazy to talk to Wang Yin about these useless things: "Have you found anything to kill the locusts?"

Since the locust plague could not be solved by eating, Li Shimin naturally stopped caring about it.

The most important thing right now is to see if Wang Yin has a way to eliminate the locust plague or something good.

After all, my show today is just to express my attitude to the people. If this locust plague is not eliminated in time, it will always be a big trouble.

"Of course I found the thing." Wang Yin nodded: "But it's not suitable to take it out here."

After blocking the traffic in the palace last night, Wang Yin stayed at home and had nothing to do, so he turned on the system and searched.After tossing and tossing for a long time, he finally found what Li Shimin needed in the corner.

One cubic centimeter can attract locusts in an area of ​​ten acres, with a maximum limit of [-].Locusts will be paralyzed within an hour after inhaling the scent.
