The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"Locust powder!" Zhao Chen and the emperor spat out three words.

"Locust powder?" The emperor looked surprised.

He clearly remembered that the year before last, the Tang Dynasty suffered the most severe locust plague in history.

In the end, Zhao Chen came up with a lot of ideas for himself.

Fortunately, there was a near miss in the end.

At that time, he, the emperor, was deceived by Zhao Chen and ate locusts for a long time.

Grilled of course. .??.

But even if it was roasted, it tasted very good, but thinking about it now, the emperor still felt a little nauseous.

"If you add this kind of thing, won't something happen?" Emperor Zhao Chen asked.

Although Zhao Chen has said before, some locusts are actually not poisonous.

But the emperor himself and many court officials believed that the locusts were a punishment from the gods.

Eating locusts is blasphemy.

It's best not to do this.

"Didn't I tell you before, locusts are edible, and there were so many locusts the year before last, so you have to take care of them."

"Locust powder mixed with fried flour can make the soldiers full."

"If we just eat this fried flour, maybe everyone will vomit in two or three days."

"Of course, if you think it's okay, then sprinkle some Sichuan peppercorns into the fried flour. It will definitely be better than locust powder." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.

"Then it's still locust powder." The emperor said quickly.

He would have to be rich to have such an idea of ​​putting Sichuan peppercorns in fried flour.

If he really had such sufficient finances, he wouldn't have just asked the soldiers to bring dried beef and mutton.

Seeing that the emperor agreed so simply, Zhao Chen also smiled.

He doesn’t know the emperor’s character yet?

That is the person who is blind to money!

The locusts had been piled up in the warehouse before, but now they were put to good use.

They can also provide extra meals to the soldiers.

It can be regarded as those locusts atone for their own sins.

"Then..." The emperor wanted to go back to the palace immediately.

Leave the method of frying flour to the Ministry of War.

But I thought that my purpose of coming today was to take a walk around Zhao Chen's house and see what other goodies he had.

I didn't want to leave so early.

"Why, are you okay?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and saw that he stayed here and didn't want to leave.

"I...I want to take a look at your vegetable patch." Of course the emperor didn't just want to take a look at Zhao Chen's vegetable patch. In fact, he also wanted to visit Zhao Chen's entire mansion.

See if there is anything else you haven't discovered yet?

But if he said it too clearly, Zhao Chen would never let him go.

…

The emperor failed to do so.

Zhao Chen wouldn't let the emperor get even half a step closer.

The emperor wanted to see it privately, but was indeed watched closely by Zhao Chen.

The emperor was very angry.

But there is absolutely nothing we can do against Zhao Chen.

So he could only go back to the palace in disgrace.

But fortunately, he didn't gain anything.

At least if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go on long-distance raids in the future, their lives will not be disrupted by logistical supplies.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month.

The village was extremely lively.

Today is Xiao Lu’s wedding day.

The marriage partner was the daughter of the Zhang family, the richest businessman in Wannian County.

"Uncle Village Chief, do you think Brother Zhao will come today?"

"We postponed the wedding last time. Brother Zhao won't be angry, right?" Today's groom stood in his yard and said to the old village chief, with a trace of worry on his face.

It was now noon, when the groom was preparing to go to Wannian County to pick up the bride.

It was originally agreed that Zhao Chen would accompany Xiao Lu

Let's go together.

But now the time is almost up, but Zhao Chen is still missing.

Xiao Lu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao will come. Didn't you go with me to explain to Brother Zhao last time?" The old village chief comforted Xiao Lu.

He also understood that Zhao Chen's current status was unusual.

If Zhao Chen really complained about Xiao Lu because of this matter, they would naturally be worried. .??.??

Xiao Lu nodded and held the groom's clothes with his hands to relieve his inner tension.

The old village chief stood aside and couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw Xiao Lu looking like this.

Zhao Chen's identity is different now.

Although Zhao Chen treated them as usual, they could not be the same as Zhao Chen.

As the emperor's favorite prince, he might also be the prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so he would have someone to fawn over Zhao Chen.

The village has finally developed well. If someone is targeting it...

"Xiao Lu, it's almost time, we should set off." After a while, the matchmaker walked up to Xiao Lu and urged him to go to the bride's house to welcome the bride.

"Brother Zhao is not here yet, why don't we wait a little longer..."

"Wait? What are you waiting for?" Before Xiao Lu could finish speaking, someone interrupted him.

"Do you think His Highness the King of Han is still a poor boy from your village, and someone like you can have a relationship with His Highness the King of Han?"

"I don't know how my sister fell in love with you."

"No wink at all." The speaker was Miss Zhang's cousin.

He has always disagreed with the marriage between Xiao Lu and Miss Zhang.

He has a good friend who is very admired by Miss Zhang.

In order for him to make a promise, if he can marry a Miss Zhang family, he will definitely give half of the Zhang family's property in return.

But little did he know that Miss Zhang had fallen in love with the poor Xiao Lu.

So today I came to the small

The Lu family hopes to destroy this marriage.

If the person in front of him talks about others, Xiao Lu will definitely argue with him.

But he was talking about Zhao Chen.

Xiao Lu also knew that with his status, it was impossible for him to have too much contact with Zhao Chen.

So he just clenched his fists, and the anger on his face disappeared in a flash.

"Why do you talk like this?"

"Brother Zhao will definitely come!"

"It's not your turn to talk about the marriage between Xiao Li and the girl from the Zhang family!"

"Brother Zhao never makes mistakes. Just wait, I will make you look good later."

Xiao Lu didn't say anything, but the folks on the side couldn't help it.

They all accused Miss Zhang’s cousin.

Miss Zhang’s cousin disagreed.

If the little brother Zhao they talk about is really coming, he should have come long ago.

Since they haven't arrived yet, they must not care about these people.

Without Zhao Chen as a backer, these people are just ordinary country villagers.

I am a member of the Zhang family in Wannian County, so of course I don't need to care about them.

Miss Zhang's cousin put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Lu expressionlessly.

Xiao Lu's eyes were a little dim, and he tugged at the groom's clothes on his body with his hands, and then prepared to take them off.

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing?" The old village chief grabbed Xiao Lu's hand and asked.

"Uncle Village Chief, actually I also know that I am not worthy of A Meng, and I don't want the villagers to suffer disaster because of my affairs. Let's end this marriage!" Xiao Lu said to the village chief, with a flash of light on his face. A look of pain.

He fell in love with Miss Zhang, but was threatened by Miss Zhang's cousin.

If Zhao Chen came to his wedding banquet today, Miss Zhang's cousin would not dare to act rashly.

But Zhao Chen didn't come. If he really married Miss Zhang, what about his fellow villagers?

What should they do?
