Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
When Zhang Feng saw Li Shimin's expression, his interest was immediately piqued.
He spoke frankly with assurance.
"Back then, I sensed the calamity and came out of seclusion to help the first emperor unify the six states. However, his descendants were too disappointing. Disheartened, they returned to Mount Wutai and continued to cultivate!"
"Then, Zhuge Kongming was born. I sensed the call of the heavens and accepted him as my disciple, teaching him righteousness. However, he played himself to death! From then on, I swore not to accept any more disciples! "
"After that, I roamed the void and shuttled through the torrent of history. I could see five thousand years in the Lunar Plain and thirty thousand years in the Heavens …"
"Therefore, I can see such a trivial matter clearly with just a glance! In fact, believe it or not, I am able to see everything that Tuli Khan is saying in Royal City right now. "
Li Shimin was so embarrassed that his cancer was acting up.
The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. "Then tell me, what is Tuli Khan saying now?"
"Uh …"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Zhang Feng did not expect Lao Li to ask this at this time.
He waved his hand.
Zhang Feng said, "Don't be noisy. Let me see …"
"Yes, Tuli Khan said it's time to eat!"
"Pfft …"
"Fine, fine, fine!"
Li Shimin could not stand it anymore.
If he was really so awesome, how could he not know who he was?
Before this, Li Shimin was still listening with great interest.
However, when Zhang Feng said that he could see what Tuli Khan was saying with just a glance, he almost went crazy.
This bragging …
Li Shimin coughed dryly.
"Manager, we have been together for half a year. Lao Li, I think that I have already regarded you as a close friend. However, you can't fool me like this, right? My house is on fire, and you … "
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Alright then!"
Zhang Feng took advantage of the situation and coughed. Then, he took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, I said this a few days ago!"
"It's just that you didn't take it to heart back then!"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin thought about it carefully.
However, he still didn't think of anything.
Zhang Feng had no choice but to explain again, "Last time I said that you guys don't care about the price of food. I didn't wrong you guys!"
"What does Longyou Dao produce? Food! "
"Then, when you go back, take a look at the market and see if the grain, meat, and poultry are produced in Longyou Road. Then, you'll be able to guess the price and quantity!"
"You also know that my business isn't good to begin with. If it weren't for the fact that I could chat with you and brag to you every now and then, and the fact that you guys helped me out, I would have closed my shop a long time ago."
"Basically, I go back every day to buy some ingredients. Since twenty days ago, the quantity of meat and poultry produced in Longyou Road has decreased sharply. Moreover, the price has skyrocketed. Even the price of food in Longyou Road has increased by several times. Even now, you can't find a single grain of food in Longyou Road."
"What does this mean? This means that the merchants are not hoarding goods! It's easy to hoard food, but what about meat and poultry? This is going to lead to the source! There's a problem with the source! "
Li Shimin furrowed his brows tightly.
He listened carefully.
However, the more he listened, the more waves he felt in his heart!
This time, he was really right!
Zhang Feng continued, "Most importantly, go to the city gate and take a look. You know everything about the number of refugees in Longyou Road!"
"Then, how did you calculate the number of refugees in Turkic and Tubo?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
Zhang Feng drank a cup of tea and said, "Actually, this is even easier to discern. Think about what the Turks and Tuyuhun produce. Then, take a look at the recent prices and quantities, and you'll be able to discern it with a single glance!"
Li Shimin patted Zhang Feng's shoulder excitedly and said, "Turkic produces fur products, Tubo produces blankets, and Tuyuhun produces jewelry! During this time, Chang 'an City is out of stock! Could it be … "
"Not bad, Lao Li. You have improved!"
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin with admiration and said, "Do you still need me to say it now?"
Li Shimin was silent.
So, all these could be observed from the minute details!
But, in the end, the mystery was solved. But, what was the solution?
Although Zhang Feng said that it was possible to make food out of the locusts, it was definitely not enough!
Even if he ordered the entire Longyou Dao to dig up the locusts, how long would it take? Even if Zhang Feng's method was feasible, there had to be a process to implement it, right?
What if no one accepted this thing? What would they do?
Moreover, who knew how many eggs there were in the soil? They couldn't possibly plough the entire Longyou Dao, right?
Li Shimin couldn't help but change the topic to controlling the locusts again. "Then, shopkeeper, other than eating, is there any other way to deal with the locusts? I feel that this method is a little weak. "
Zhang Feng patted his head and said doubtfully, "Lao Li, I just praised you for being smart. Why are you confused again?"
Li Shimin touched his chin and coughed dryly.
"Well, I really can't think of any other way …"
Zhang Feng was speechless.
But he still explained carefully, "It's still the same old method. Eat!"
"…"
