When Li Zhi heard about the Hedong earthquake, he immediately convened the ministers to hold an emergency meeting.

Throughout history, whether the world is peaceful or not, whether the happiness index of people's lives is high, population accounts for a very important factor, especially in ancient times when technological development is relatively backward.

Because wars and natural disasters will greatly reduce the population. On the contrary, if the population is large, it means that the people's happiness index of this country is good.

Therefore, it is a headache for any natural disaster or man-made disaster, kings of all generations, and even in their time and space.

The earthquake is like a hot potato. It’s too late for everyone to throw it away. How could anyone hope it will happen? But Li Zhi is happy to take it on himself.

Why? He can finally have room to display.

It's all his fault. He might think that his little cheesus was still a baby, so he entrusted him to his uncle and Zhu Suiliang. So Li Zhi alone cannot make the decision whenever he encounters a major or a major incident.

What's more, nothing major happened before this.

The most meaningful thing Li Zhi did this time was to work as a part-time harem shared detective. Today, the concubine's hairpin was lost, and tomorrow the concubine suspected that someone was going to murder her...

There are many such things, and they have tried and tested this kind of common routine.

There is only one purpose for this: to compete for favor and attract the emperor's attention.

Recently, in such a harem, Li Zhi successfully solved a case of burglary and intentional injury in such a harem, which made him swell and even felt that he could consider dissuading Di Renjie from the future.

......

In the court, when Li Zhi was inadvertently distracted, the ministers arrived one after another.

Old uncle Changsun said seriously: "Your Majesty, a severe earthquake occurred in Hedong area, especially in Jinzhou, where houses collapsed severely, killing and injured more than 5,000 people at a time. Guanfu land encountered another locust plague..."

"Oh, earthquake, locust plague, I know..." Li Zhi said absent-mindedly.

Li Zhi, the uncle, is a man who has mastered the regime. Facing Li Zhi's perfunctory attitude, he must feel that his self-esteem has been severely hit.

"Ahem... Your Majesty... an earthquake occurred in Hedong area..."

The eldest uncle of Changsun increased his voice.

Li Zhi was still absent-minded and said with a look of his eyes: "Earthquake, I know that the palace needs to redesign the toilet the most now, and that septic tank..."

"What?????Which toilet?What is a septic tank?"

My uncle asked three times!

Changsun Wuji was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant. He thought that Li Zhi was distracted by the head and could think of good disaster relief strategies, but he never thought that he would say something he couldn't understand.

My uncle was very angry and wandered on the verge of storm...

"His Majesty!!!"

Changsun Wuji loudened his voice, and the ministers next to him lowered their heads and whispered.

Li Zhi was shocked by the sound and suddenly came to his senses. Only then did he realize how ridiculous what he said just now was.

He has been working hard on the toilet problem for a while, because his experience on the day of the throne ceremony seemed to have happened yesterday, and it was lingering in his mind for a long time.

Every day when going to the toilet, he feels self-evident. When he thinks of this, he misses the toilets in modern homes and wants to improve the experience of the palace people going to the toilet.

Li Zhi hurriedly covered up and said, "I've always been tired recently and talk nonsense."

After hearing this, the uncle Changsun's face calmed down and said nonsense like "Your Majesty's health is important, don't be more laborious" and immediately returned to the topic.

"Your Majesty, the Hedong earthquake..."

As we all know, during the Zhenguan period, the total population of the country was less than three million, and 5,000 casualties were killed or injured in one earthquake. It is indeed not to be underestimated.

"I know that the affected areas are exempt from taxes and properly resettle the victims."

"I obey the order."

As soon as the uncle Changsun finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately added: "By the way, the houses in Jinzhou collapsed severely. I will first move the victims out. I have other plans here."

The old uncle Changsun and the ministers looked at each other.

Then, a minister suggested that since the earthquake had a temporary solution, let’s discuss the locusts next.

When Li Zhi heard this, his heart suddenly became mixed. God, the earth, I thought it was just a shock. I went to circle a test field and set up a special economic zone. How could it be a rhythm of buying one and getting one free one?

Why are locusts so uneasy?

The species of locusts swallowed a large amount of grain, which seriously affected economic development and even caused famine due to food shortages. As long as there are locusts transiting, a large number of people will starve to death.

so....

Li Zhi touched his chin and thought...

Suddenly, an idea flashed across, but he knew that after saying this idea, it would be very likely to cause extreme discomfort among the ministers. Even so, what should be said still has to be said.

"My dear friends, this locust, after frying, sprinkling some salt, is a delicious dish!"

“…”

As soon as Li Zhi said that, the court suddenly became excited. They had never been as united as they were today and collectively gave bad reviews! They must have thought that Li Zhi was a devil, so how could this thing beautified?

But in the time and space of Li Zhi's past life, the locust is indeed one of the delicacies of human beings.

It's terrible to think about it. Humans standing at the top of the food chain are actually fighting for food with little squirrels and birds.

After all, there are lessons from the past. More than a thousand years later, humans invaded crayfish that were invaded by species to the point where the supply was in short supply, and it was known as the most failed species invasion in history.

Locusts are not only delicious, but can actually be ground into powder as high-protein raw materials, such as pig feed and poultry feed. Think about it, once they become feed, poultry farmers can get locusts and poultry industry chain, even if they are artificially raised, they may not be able to eat them.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, the ancients' thinking was still very conservative. It was not easy to change their concept. The second is how to catch locusts.

Li Zhi's eyes turned and changed his mind, perhaps it was not that difficult.

"My dear friends, the late emperor asked me to dream last night..."

When the ministers heard Li Zhi say that the late emperor asked for a dream, they immediately became quiet and waited for him to continue.

Li Zhi cleared his throat and said, "Last night, the late emperor fell into a dream and told me about the locust plague. This is why I have made some comments today. If I don't believe it, I can try it myself..."

The emperor wanted to "test the poison" himself, and the ministers were completely out of control. They said everything and said it, but the purpose was the same. This behavior was unscrupulous and could not be willful. If they were eaten, the Tang Dynasty would perish.

During the dispute, only the uncle Changsun looked calm. He did not express his position, neither opposed nor agreed. Li Zhi guessed that he must be interested in this proposal.
