Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 446: Locusts solve the crisis

According to the current development of the situation, more and more locusts will be sent to the Prefectural Mufu. By then, even Bingzhou's treasury will be unable to contain them.

Under Lu Bu's order, 30,000 kilograms of locusts were ground into powder and mixed with flour to make flour cakes.

Locusts are rich in protein. After the flour is mixed with locust powder, the aroma is very attractive. The soldiers responsible for cooking did not know that the powder they used was made of locusts, otherwise they would not be as intoxicated as they are now.

appearance.

The fragrant pie filled the hall, and many generals swallowed secretly. These days, due to the influx of refugees, the soldiers in the army also tightened their belts and lived without eating meat for several days. Suddenly, they asked about the smell.

The overflowing pancakes made everyone move their index fingers.

Chen Tianze looked at Lu Bu without knowing why. He knew that Lu Bu asked everyone to gather here to deal with the locusts. Why did he order people to bring big cakes? Not to mention, it was already noon, and he smelled

The smell of the cake is really tempting. Judging from the smell, it must be a meat cake.

Pieces of steaming big cakes were delivered to the civil servants and generals. Although the big cakes were very tempting, everyone turned their attention to Lu Bu. They knew that Lu Bu asked them to come here not just to eat the big cakes.

.

"I think some of you already know why I asked you to come here." Lu Bu showed a mysterious smile.

Everyone heard this and talked in low voices.

"Eat the cake first." Lu Bu took the lead in picking up the big cake on the table and chewed it slowly.

When the generals in the army heard this, they didn't care about anything and wolfed down the cake. In comparison, the civil servants were more reserved. After all, they were literati and they still paid great attention to their appearance.

Dian Wei did not touch the big cake in front of him. He saw with his own eyes that the locusts were ground into powder and then mixed into the dough. Although the taste was very tempting, he swallowed hard when he thought of those strange locusts.

"General Dian, if you don't want to eat it, let it be eaten by a lowly official." Seeing that Dian Wei was unmoved, Guan Yu laughed and said, the taste of the big cake is so good, he is sure that there must be something in this big cake.

It's mixed with meat, otherwise it wouldn't be so fragrant.

Seeing Dian Wei nodding, Guan Yu impatiently picked up the big cake in front of Dian Wei, fearing that Dian Wei would regret it. What surprised Guan Yu was that there was a strange and unpredictable smile on Dian Wei's face, which made him have a feeling.

I had a shuddering feeling, and my eating speed also slowed down a lot.

After Lu Bu finished eating the cake, he looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "Everyone, how do you like this cake?"

Everyone heard the words and praised them, especially the generals in the army. They were full of praise. The big cakes that the soldiers usually eat would not have meat, let alone all made of white flour. There would definitely be some impurities in it.

noodle.

"From now on, the soldiers in the army will eat meat cakes like these and resume three meals a day." Lu Bu said with a smile. With more and more locusts, the shortage of food and grass was greatly alleviated.

"Thank you so much, Marquis of Jin." The military general thanked him excitedly. These days, the food of the military officers and soldiers has been deducted. It is impossible for the soldiers not to complain. If they have these meat pies, they can better appease the soldiers.

"My lord, Bingzhou is in crisis right now. It is enough for the officers and soldiers to have enough food and clothing. You must not waste money like this." Li Yan said, cupping his fists.

Lu Bu glanced at Li Yan with satisfaction. Li Yan had become more mature in the wars and considered things more comprehensively. In time, he would definitely be able to accomplish great things and be able to transform from an ordinary soldier step by step.

Having reached this point, it can be said that Li Yan himself is a person with a talent for fighting.

"General Li, there is no need to worry. Although there is an influx of refugees in Bingzhou, there is still no shortage of such big cakes." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Do you know what these meat cakes are made of?"

Seeing everyone staring at him with stern eyes, Lu Bu showed a malicious smile on his face, "Do you remember the locusts that the Prefectural Mufu bought from the people outside the city?"

Everyone nodded, but Chen Tian seemed to have remembered something, and his face suddenly turned pale. He clearly remembered that Lu Bu was going to give locusts to the refugees and soldiers in Bingzhou. Could it be that the meat in the flatbread just now was locusts?

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that... Chen Tian was completely confused, and he couldn't find the right words to describe his state of mind at this time.

Suddenly, he remembered that Dian Wei didn't seem to move the meat pie in front of him, which further confirmed his guess. After all, Dian Wei had been following Lu Bu.

"The taste of locusts is indeed good, and I haven't eaten them for a long time." Lu Bu said with unfinished content.

"Do locusts taste good?" Everyone had questions. Not to mention other things, the disgusting appearance of locusts makes people unable to think of food.

"Didn't the flatbread just now smell delicious? That's right. These flatbreads are mixed with locusts, so they are naturally fragrant." Lu Bu laughed.

Everyone's expressions changed again and again, dumbfounded.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked calm. They knew that the big cake this time would not be that simple. Thirty thousand kilograms of locusts were transported away from the warehouse, and the next day Lu Bu invited all officials and generals to eat big cakes. All this

They all reveal something strange.

"Those locusts ate the food that the people depended on for survival, so I ate them." Lu Bu said coldly.

Only then did everyone remember that Lu Bu had also eaten a lot of cakes just now, and even Lu Bu's expression remained calm. As subordinates, how could they behave worse.

"The Marquis of Jin is wise!" everyone shouted in unison.

"I have eaten a lot of locusts. They are not only delicious, but also good for people's health. The most important thing is that this kind of thing is very cheap. Merchants can't buy grain and grass in Jizhou and other places. You can order them to buy it and dry it.

The locusts cost two pounds a pound, so the people will flock to them, and after arriving in Bingzhou, they will become fodder for the army," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "What my lord said is true. If the army has enough food and grass, why not worry about not being able to attack Hedong, and then defeat the rebels Li Jue, Guo Si and others."

Guo Jia's eyes also lit up, and he held up his hands and said: "In this way, even if there are another hundred thousand refugees in Bingzhou, we will not be afraid. But don't spread the news about eating locusts in Bingzhou, otherwise the purchase of locusts will definitely be like a purchase.

Food and grass are generally difficult.”

Bingzhou needs a lot of grain and grass. During this period, grain and grass were purchased in Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places. Of course, businessmen from various places also took the opportunity to raise prices. After all, there were not many opportunities to make money from Bingzhou. Besides, the grain and grass in the two places

There are not many, so it is reasonable to secretly raise the price. However, Mi Zhu has blacklisted all these people. He believes that Bingzhou will get out of this disaster, and then those businessmen will pay the price.
