The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Locust plagues are terrible.

Especially for people of this era.

After paying the taxes every year, there is only a small amount of food rations left, and we still need to prepare rice seeds for the next year.

If there is another locust plague, people's lives will immediately become miserable.

As early as last year, Zhao Chen had already told the emperor about this matter. As for the outcome, Zhao Chen didn't want to care about it.

All living beings in the world have their own destiny of life and death. Even if he, Zhao Chen, is exhausted and his bones are broken, how big a storm can he cause?

But the folks in the village have a close relationship with him.

To be honest, if it keeps raining like this, and last winter was not cold enough, it is estimated that the locust plague will probably come.

Ah? What should we do? As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, a villager asked worriedly.

The outbreak of locust plague means that they may not have enough to eat in the coming year.

Because it is Zhao Chen's restaurant, they may not be too worried about eating.

But after all, no one wants to work hard for a year and gain nothing, right?

Brother Zhao, you are smarter than us, but is there anything you can do?

The food that everyone has worked so hard to grow must not be wasted by those beasts.

You are a capable person, can you come up with any good ideas? Others began to ask.

The locust plague is inevitable.

But it's still too late to prepare now.

After all, there are not too many fields in the village.

There is absolutely a way to cure it.

Well, these days, shouldn't the chickens and ducks at home be hatching chicks and ducks? Let them hatch.

If it's not enough, go to the city and buy some old eggs and duck eggs, and hatch as many as you can. The more, the better.

We only have a few hundred acres of land here. Even if the locust plague comes, we can still eat them. Zhao Chen finished.

, but saw that the villagers were motionless and seemed not to understand.

What's wrong? Is there any problem? Zhao Chen came out of the muddy water and asked.

Brother Zhao, we believe in the method you said, but how many chickens and ducks will it cost? You also know that there are only dozens of households in the village and they raise too many chickens and ducks. Once the locust plague is over, don't let the locusts give us any. Eaten to pieces, eaten to pieces by these chickens and ducks. The village chief and Zhao Chen explained.

The others also nodded.

They are worried about this situation.

The more chickens and ducks the better, who knows how many there are.

Maybe they'll be eaten.

It's almost March now, and the locust plague will probably arrive in June. Three months is enough time for chickens and ducks to grow up. Once the locust plague is over, those chickens and ducks will have their own place to go. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Chickens and ducks, aren’t they just for eating?

By the time……

Brother Zhao, these chickens and ducks can certainly be eaten, but if there are too many, they won't be sold at the price, and they will definitely lose money. The village chief also understood what Zhao Chen was thinking, but he still warned him.

These chickens and ducks are just meat for ordinary people. They are already cheaper. Once they are raised on a large scale, the price will definitely fall again.

This seems like a losing proposition.

You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way. By the way, don't forget about the peppers. You can plant them in the next few days. After the locust plague is over, I will still be of great use! Zhao Chen said with a smile. The villagers urged.

Brother Zhao, don't worry. We may forget other things, but not this.

Yes, Brother Zhao's matter is a big deal. If you don't eat, you won't be able to eat.

Drink, also want to finish it for you.

Brother Zhao, when you come here this time, you don't see your wife coming. You are here alone, and there is no one to wash or cook.

Some villagers asked about Li Ruoshuang.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, smiled, and then waved his hands to everyone and said, She has something to do in Chang'an, so she didn't come over this time. I'm fine here alone. I can do everything myself.

Well, then, Brother Zhao, you can go to my house for a meal today at noon. We agreed a long time ago. If you keep refusing, do you think you dislike the old man? The village chief invited Zhao Chen with a smile.

Although there was some blame in his tone, Zhao Chen knew that he didn't actually mean it.

Village Chief, Brother Zhao promised me before, so he should go to my house for dinner.

Hey, Brother Zhao, it's noon now. I asked my mother to go to the city yesterday to buy the food you like, and I wanted to invite you over for a meal. Come on, come with me.

Some villagers not only invited Zhao Chen with words, but directly came up to hold Zhao Chen's hand and pulled him in the direction of their home.

Not to mention, the strength of the farmers who work in the fields every day is unknown.

Zhao Chen couldn't get away, so he was forcefully dragged to someone's house for dinner.

…

Old Wei, last time the queen invited the prince, King Wei, and Zhao Chen to a banquet at the Zhengdian Palace, but the boy didn't go.

Tell me, what's the reason for this?

It is fifty miles from Chang'an to Wannian County. At noon, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng dismounted, rested for a while, and had something to eat.

Li Shimin was a little surprised. Zhao Chen usually listened to Queen Changsun the most, so why did he run away in the middle of the banquet this time?

This is nothing, he didn't even say hello, he went to the countryside of Wannian County.

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly

Sound, how could he know the reason for this.

And when it comes to the Queen, the Prince, and the King of Wei, even if it is a guess, it is not that easy to guess.

Why don't you say anything? You are still admonishing the doctor and you can't even figure out this matter? Li Shimin immediately got angry.

Emotionally, you, Wei Zheng, are just a do-it-yourselfer and are of no use at all?

The academy couldn't figure it out, so even if I asked, there would be no sound for a long time.

Wei Zheng felt that the emperor was obviously looking for trouble for him.

With his hard-earned reputation, Wei Zheng felt that he should not give in.

Otherwise, the fat uncle in front of me will definitely take advantage of him in the future.

The queen asked Zhao Chen and the prince to attend the banquet together. Naturally, she wanted to persuade them to reconcile.

Zhao Chen didn't go, because he definitely didn't want to be persuaded to make peace. Logically speaking, the relationship between the Queen and Zhao Chen is definitely not like this. Normally, Zhao Chen would go and admit his mistake in front of the Queen.

Maybe the situation is different this time, or maybe Zhao Chen knows something, or maybe something happened that made him feel discouraged.

besides……

What else? Li Shimin frowned and asked.

Also, when your majesty is fine, you should listen to County Duke Zhao and read more. There are some words that your majesty said that seem particularly devoid of intelligence.

It's like saying that I am an admonishing official who has heard about things and is not giving advice to His Majesty.

Wei Zheng's words made Li Shimin so angry that he jumped up on the spot.

The rations in his hand were thrown at Wei Zheng, who had already jumped onto his horse.

Good guy, when did this old man dare to talk about himself as an emperor like Zhao Chen?

Forget it about Zhao Chen. If he has real ability, he can just curse a few times.

But Wei Zheng, this old immortal...
