A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Can locusts be eaten?"

The thick-browed man retched subconsciously. When he was a child, he once went to the fields and the green locusts jumped on him. He felt very disgusted.

The habit he had when he was a child still makes him sick when he mentions locusts.

"Lang Jun, I don't know either, but they say that Shen Longtu is the reincarnation of the God of Cooking. If he says it can be eaten, then it must be edible."

"roll!"

The man with thick eyebrows drove away the servant who came to report the news, and then blinked his eyes quickly, "Let's send someone to deliver the message and put Shen An on the fire. I thought it would arouse anger this time. If there was a lot of noise on Jingdong Road, Get up, I'm afraid the officials will have to think about it...

But he was able to come up with this... Go and fry some locusts. "

"Brother, don't you hate locusts?"

"Disgust is disgust, but when the time comes, all disgust should be discarded."

He sat there, the blazing sunlight was blocked by the house, and there was an ice basin beside him, so the temperature was suitable.

"My family has been silent for too long."

He was a little depressed, "Although the court gave me honor, I still feel uncomfortable after all."

"Brother!" The man glanced outside, "You must be careful of spies from the Imperial City Department."

"They are not interested in knowing our affairs. As long as we don't leave Xianyuan, the people from the Imperial City Department will not care." The man with thick eyebrows sneered: "I didn't want to get involved in those things, but there are constant party disputes in the government, and someone actually He wrote a letter to me, saying that he hopes our family can stand up and give the new party a blow. What is this..."

He looked at his brother.

"Brother, we can't get involved in our family!" The man was a little moved, but then he shook his head and said, "Our family can maintain such dignity only by not getting involved."

"Yes, of course our family will not touch such things. Those people are just provoking them." The thick-browed man sneered: "It's just that the officials are enemies of those people. I don't know why."

"This is just a continuation of the new policy from the late emperor's time." The man thought for a while, "Qingli Nian failed, what will happen this time? We will just see.

But we can't interfere, but we have to give them a response at least, otherwise we will be ignored in the future. "

The man with thick eyebrows shook his head and said: "So I put Shen An on the fire to roast them, just to show those people that even if my family is dormant, it still has its own tricks. But who would have thought... that locusts can become delicacies? This madman !”

This madman refers to Shen An.

"Brother, maybe it's a lie!" The man said the matter was a conspiracy theory.

The man with thick eyebrows sneered: "Do you think what Shen An said is true? He just lied bravely! I dare to say that they will charge hundreds of stones at most, and then they will make excuses not to pay. Shen An is playing this... But he put Han Qi in front, good means, good means! In the end, Han Qi was unlucky, but he was worried about the country and the people."

The man stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a look."

Later, a man came with a basin, "Brother, this is the locust delicacy that Shen An said."

"Bring it here."

The thick-browed man's eyes lit up. When he saw the fried locusts in the basin, he retched, then gritted his teeth and took one into his mouth.

He chewed it breathlessly, then slowly let go of his taste buds.

Fragrant and crispy.

Surprisingly delicious!

He stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go take a look."

When he rode outside the city, he saw many people carrying various things in the fields to kill locusts.

A clerk nearby was shouting, "Just kill it and dry it in the sun, you won't be short of money."

After shouting a few times, everyone worked hard and no one paid any attention to him. The clerk stamped his foot and said, "That's all, I'll get some too."

Even petty officials have joined the battle to cull the locusts. One can imagine how strong the appeal of the government is now.

The man with thick eyebrows slowly looked all the way and saw a fiery scene.

But when he saw that the sky was still full of locusts, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is useless, and Shen An's methods are nothing more than this!"

When he was about to turn around, a horse came in front of him. After seeing him, the man on the horse raised his hand and said, "I have met Mr. Lang."

The man was a businessman in the county, and he had some dealings with the thick-browed man's family in the past.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

The man wiped his sweat and said: "People from outside are coming, people from outside Yanzhou are coming."

He hurriedly handed over his hands, and then shouted while running away: "Everyone... there are many people coming outside Yanzhou. They are here to snatch the locusts. Do it quickly, otherwise you will become someone else's food!"

"What?"

The people exploded when they heard this.

"This is our territory and our locusts, why should we let them catch them?"

"Kick them out! Kick them out!"

A woman carrying a net bag was shouting, but few people responded.

"Madam, hurry up and catch him. If it's too late, he'll be gone."

Have these locusts become meat and potatoes?

In all dynasties and generations, anyone who mentions locusts is frightened by the news, but these people have gone crazy and are ready to launch a armed fight to protect the locusts.

This world is really crazy!

crazy!

The man with thick eyebrows didn't think it was the case. He thought there might be something wrong with this matter, "Go and have a look."

His followers rode away.

Another follower said: "Lang Jun, the war horses from the northwest are really good. They are much faster than our original ones, and they are also cold-resistant."

The thick-browed man knew where this war horse came from.

These are the spoils of the New Deal.

Countless people were cheering for these trophies, but some people deliberately ignored them.

"Mr. Lang!"

"I'm coming!"

There were a lot of people coming in the dark place. These people were carrying baskets, and there were even human and animal carts behind them. Several bags of things could be seen on the carts.

"There are so many locusts here!"

This shout was like a signal, and more people came behind.

"They're coming!"

Local people began to gather and the two sides confronted each other...

"Mr. Lang, let's retreat quickly."

The entourage was a little worried. The man with thick eyebrows lowered his head and suddenly sighed: "If a fight breaks out... Han Qi and Shen An will be in trouble. No matter how good his idea is, he can't stop these people from working hard for a small profit. It's ridiculous."

People on both sides began to yell and curse at each other, and the curses were extremely unpleasant.

The attendant advised again: "Mr. Lang, these people will get jealous later. You are in danger here."

"What do you know?" The thick-browed man said, "I am here at this time, and I must give you some advice."

As he said that, he shouted to the other side: "Stop your hands so that we can cull the locusts."

This kind of persuasion is useless and may even lead to ignition.

"somebody is coming."

A few men came at least very fast and rushed straight into the middle. The people's eyes were red at this moment, and someone shouted: "Get out of the way quickly, or your life will be in danger!"

At this time, it is usually unstoppable.

"Who are you trying to kill?"

In a lazy voice, the man in front laughed.

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

"roll!"

Fighting in the countryside is never about treating guests to dinner, especially when fighting for resources, even death indicators are prepared.

The most frequent fights were over water. Two villages started a fight to compete for the right to water. Young men from both sides were gathered together. If there were old soldiers in the village, it would be better to just pull them out for training.

When it was time to grab water, the two sides agreed on an hour to have a big fight nearby.

This kind of war is life-or-death. If you are killed, you will be treated as a death in battle. The village will provide money to support your wife and children.

The winning party was so proud that they carried the corpse back to celebrate their victory and drank. The losing party carried the corpse back to drink in miserably, but they drank too much.

Then they worked hard and trained hard, just waiting to fight back next time.

This is the rural war that has continued from ancient times to the present.

The man smiled and said: "There are so many locusts. The sooner you kill them, the more you can preserve your harvest. What, do you mean you don't want to farm anymore?"

These people are here to exterminate locusts. No matter what their purpose is, it will be of great benefit to the country and you. Why stop them? "

He looked calm. A young man wanted to yell, but the middle-aged man next to him slapped him in the face, and then asked: "Locusts can be exchanged for money. They are here to steal money!"

The man's face suddenly turned cold, "Locust plague is the enemy of farmers. How many people have been displaced and their families destroyed in the past? The sooner the locusts are exterminated now, the more benefits it will bring to the DPRK and you. Do you know what those are?" Locusts are giving birth everywhere now. If this continues, if the weather is dry next year, these locusts will swarm on Jingdong Road again, eating and drinking. Who will help you then? Who?!"

The people were startled, and their minds, which had been dazzled by money, became clearer.

Some people still persisted in shouting: "Don't listen to him, UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net drive away the outsiders, we will have these locusts to ourselves!"

"Who said that?"

The man got angry, pointed at the crowd and said, "Stand up and let me see how big your face is! Come out!"

This guy is so brave!

The man with thick eyebrows sneered: "The farmers in the countryside are ignorant. If they want to fight, unless they mobilize a large number of local warriors from the government, who would dare to stop them?"

Before he finished speaking, the people over there cursed: "It was the Sa family who said that. Why? Do you want to have a fist fight with the Sa family?"

"What the hell! This is a fucking thing!"

The man dismounted angrily and rolled up his sleeves.

This man is really crazy!

How dare you go there at this time.

The people over there are ready to take action.

It's like a pile of dry firewood with only one spark missing.

And Mars is this man.

The man with thick eyebrows couldn't help but sigh, and said with a straight face: "Remember to remind me later."

The attendant nodded, "Yes. Lang Jun, we have horses. If they get jealous, we can still run away."

The common people were approaching gradually with various weapons. They usually looked at them as honest people, but now their eyes were filled with fierceness.

But the man was content and not afraid, and cursed: "When Shen was fighting with the Western bandits and the Liao people, he had never encountered such a formation. Come on, stand up and let me have a look."

The approaching people stopped, and the fierce light in their eyes gradually dissipated, followed by embarrassment.

"Is it Shen Longtu?"

"Who is it?" Shen An scolded: "Who was calling the battle just now? Ask him to stand up, and ask him to punch him three times. If you don't kill him today, I will not return to Bianliang. From now on, I will be with you in Xianyuan. Waiting to be neighbors!”
