Qin Yu's words stunned Li Er.
He looked at Qin Yu in disbelief and said,""You still want me to eat locusts?"
Alright, he had unknowingly eaten a locust and caused fear in Second Emperor Li's heart.
Especially when he thought about how he vomited, Li Er felt a sense of shame.
The image of the wise and mighty Emperor was completely ruined in one day…
Qin Yu found it funny." Your Majesty, just be frank. After the locusts are fried, isn't it fragrant?" she asked.”
Li Er was speechless.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Thinking back, it was indeed very fragrant.
A moment later, Li Er sighed and said,""Tell me specifically why you did this.”
When Qin Yu heard this, she first looked left and right. Then, she sat on a mat at the side and said slowly,"First of all, let's confirm that locusts can be eaten. Not only could it be eaten, but it could also be used as medicine. It was extremely helpful to the bodies of the people.”
"Therefore, His Majesty wants to announce this matter to the world.”
"However, Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Naturally, you have to take the lead in this matter and set an example. Therefore, not only did His Majesty have to eat locusts, but he also had to eat locusts in front of all the civil and military officials.”
"Not only that, but the civil and military officials also want to eat.”
"After all, below His Majesty are those officials.”
"Your Majesty, if all the civil and military officials of the court eat locusts and say that they are delicious, then the locusts will not be eaten. Do you think the people can believe it and imitate it?”
Hearing this, Li Er fell into deep thought. Then, he slowly nodded and said,"You are right. Only then will the people believe you.”
"This is only the first step." Seeing Li Er nod, Qin Yu continued,""Although the commoners ate locusts, they can't support the commoners through the winter. Therefore, His Majesty still wanted the imperial court to purchase locusts.”
"Acquire locusts?" Li Eryi was stunned.
"That's right." Qin Yu nodded. At this moment, he was like a wise man. He said,"The locusts can be dried and ground into powder. There were two benefits to this. First, the commoners could make a profit from this. With money, they could buy food for the winter. Secondly, although the locusts had been ground into powder, they were still meat. They were solid protein. The food that the soldiers ate would change their weak physique.”
Li Er interrupted Qin Yu's words and said doubtfully,""What is protein?"
Qin Yu was speechless.
He shook his head helplessly and said,""This is not important. Your Majesty only needs to know that after eating flour mixed with locust powder, the soldiers 'bodies will become stronger.”
"I see." Li Er revealed an expression of understanding and nodded slowly.
"Is this the locust control strategy you mentioned?" Li Er continued.”
Qin Yu smiled and said,"This is just the beginning." "There's still the second and third steps. I can guarantee that after the three steps are over, not only will the locust plague be effectively managed, the people will be able to eat their fill for the winter, and some aristocratic families will also bleed heavily.”
"What?" Li Er looked at Qin Yu in surprise and said,""Would it involve the aristocratic families?"
Qin Yu said helplessly," There's no other way. They have a lot of food. Why? Your Majesty can't bear to?"”
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched…
He was so happy…
However, on the surface, Li Er said with a righteous expression,"This is a matter of state. It is the duty of every Tang to share the burden of the country.”
"That's good." Qin Yu nodded with a smile. What he said just now was naturally just to tease Li Er.
After all, the Emperor wanted to get rid of the aristocratic families the most. How could he bear to do so?
Li Er, on the other hand, had already developed a strong interest in Qin Yu's plan. He quickly asked,"What should I do for the second and third steps?”
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said,"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The most important thing now is to do the first step well." First of all, Your Majesty and the officials ate locusts. Second, they announced to the world. I'll also open a Feihuang Restaurant in Chang 'an to sell cooked locusts and bring them to the people.”
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched. When he heard the word 'Feihuang,' his heart felt extremely strange.
Then, Li Er pondered for a moment and said,""Alright, then I will invite all the officials to a banquet tomorrow. Tell me how to make them eat locusts.”
Qin Yu said without thinking,"It's very simple. Just like today, you can do it the same way."”
Li Er's eyes were filled with resentment.
Today was the day that he would puke.
However, now was the time to talk about serious matters, so he couldn't be bothered to argue too much. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said,"Since that's the case, I'll let you prepare the Flying Yellow Meatballs tomorrow.”
"It's nothing." "After the palace banquet ends tomorrow, His Majesty will gather his trusted ministers to discuss the second step together," said Qin Yu indifferently.”
"Alright." Li Er rubbed his forehead sleepily and said,""I hope everything will go smoothly. I'll leave everything to you.”
At this moment, he no longer treated Qin Yu as an eight-year-old child.
Qin Yu's intelligence was like a demon, giving him an illusion.
All the civil and military officials in the court were not as good as Qin Yu.
Her superb medical skills, her eloquence, and her resourcefulness made Li Er involuntarily ignore Qin Yu's age.
"Sure." Qin Yu nodded and smiled.
Aristocratic families? This is what you get for provoking me.
Just wait and see. I'll take revenge on you guys. What other achievements can I achieve at the same time? It's killing two birds with one stone.
"It's getting late." Li Er nodded."I'll have Li Junxian send you back. Tomorrow morning, you can start preparing."”
"Alright." Qin Yu nodded and did not say anything else. He turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, he paused and turned around.""Your Majesty, shouldn't you give me an identity if you leave everything to me? That way, it'll be more convenient to do things."
"Zhen has his own arrangements, you can rest assured.”
"Alright then." Qin Yu shrugged. He secretly thought about whether he would be able to complete his achievements if he was given a position and what kind of reward he would be given for him to choose.
Li Er suddenly stopped him.
"Take that milk candy to heart and make some as soon as possible. Zhen's princess likes to eat it.”
"Your Majesty, is it the princess who wants to eat, or you?" Qin Yu was stunned when she heard that.”
Li Er's expression froze, and he was a little unnatural. He shouted,"I am the emperor of a generation. Why would I crave a mere dessert?”
Qin Yu muttered to herself,"But if the princess wants to eat it, Si Zi will tell me. I told her before."”
Li Er was speechless.
His expression changed again and again. He waved his hand impatiently and said,"Go down, go down…I'm tired…"
