Although she didn't say it, Ma Tianyao understood what she wanted to say, and said with a smile.

"The ancients said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and if there is a disaster, they only give money and food, and always treat the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

"What does Master mean ......"

Ma Tianyao didn't answer, but told a story.

"In the fourth year of Tang Kaiyuan, there was a locust plague in the Henan area. Locusts ravaged the Central Plains, and the people had no harvest, so they suffered unspeakably.

When Yao Chong, the prime minister of the court, heard about it, he played to Tang Xuanzong and suggested that the emperor personally come forward to preside over the anti-locust disaster relief.

When Tang Xuanzong arrived in the field, he found that the locusts were indeed covering the sky and the sun, and he caught a locust with his hand, and said to the locust: "You eat the people's grains, like eating the hearts and intestines of me." ”

This sentence is easy to understand, but what Tang Xuanzong did next is incomprehensible, he glared at the locust for three seconds and swallowed it in one gulp. ”

Feng Lei grinned, swallowed his saliva, and said.

"This emperor seems to have itchy teeth for locusts, and that's what he said about eating their flesh raw, right?"

Ling Yun frowned, although she couldn't comprehend it, she understood that Ma Tianyao's storytelling would not really be a story, and there must be some deep meaning in these words.

Sure enough, as soon as I thought of this, I heard Ma Tianyao laugh.

"Old man Tang Xuanzong, he's teaching us how to deal with these insects! He eats his meat raw, we can't afford not to pay attention to hygiene, we can eat it when it's cooked!"

"Cooked?Master...... You ......"

"Okay, I've drunk the water and eaten the tea, it's time to get down to business, Feng Lei, this is your realm, and all the work has to be handed over to you." ”

"Master, whatever you have to do, just give me orders. ”

"Well, that's ...... After a while, Lingyun and I will go back to the Suyun branch first, you stay in the village and help me do some small business......"

"Small business?

"Acquisition of Locust !!"

"Huh?"

The acquisition of locusts, four words, like four thunderbolts, made Ling Yun and Feng Lei stupid, and they didn't know how to react when they stood there for a long time.

"Twenty yuan per kilogram! After receiving enough, I immediately found a car for me to send to the Suyun branch. ”

"Uh...... This...... Belch...... Master, what are we going to do with the locusts?"

"Do more and ask less!"

"Yes, Master......! How much do we need to charge?"

"Long-term! Infinite !!"

……

Coming out of Feng Lei's house, when he drove back to Suyun, Ling Yun was going crazy.

She has a question she wants to ask, such as driving the car for Mao for so long and finally getting to the old banyan village, and turning around and going back without doing anything?

And for example...... With Ma Tianyao's character, it stands to reason that there is a locust plague, especially the locust plague in Feng Lei's village, so he has to donate some money, but Ma Tianyao has not paid a dime from front to back......

Another example...... Why do you have to spend money to collect locusts, and after you receive them, you have to find a car to pull them to the signature vegetable branch? What are you doing with them? Do you feed the pigs? Do the pigs eat locusts?

The only plausible explanation she could think of was...... Ma Tianyao is likely to ...... It's just possible...... Spending money on locusts may be an attempt to stimulate the locals so that all the locals go out to catch the locusts.

In this way, not only can the insect plague be quickly reduced, but also the money can be used to make up for the loss of some farmers' grain production!

However, there is still a key point in this that she can't figure out, that is, why did she pull the purchased locust pie truck to the signature vegetable branch in Suyun City?

Could it be ...... Just to take care of Feng Lei's fragile inferiority complex?

Ma Tianyao drove, Ling Yun touched his head and thought all the way, and his head was hot in the end......

As soon as they left, the old Banyan Village was lively, Feng Lei wrapped himself tightly again according to Ma Tianyao's instructions, pushed open the door and quickly ran to the village committee.

Feng Lei became a chef, made a lot of money, gave his family a two-story small western-style house, and bought his father a car, which had long spread in these nearby villages and towns.

People are like this, if you have money, you have status, and if you have status, you have the right to speak, he used to be a shy descendant in the village, but now he has become a big man who has the potential to do great things.

So as soon as he entered the village committee, several villagers greeted him at the same time.

He dealt with two sentences in a haphazard manner, then looked at the village chief who was frowning, and said straight to the point.

"Village chief, our boss has just arrived, and he told me to buy locusts in our village, twenty yuan per kilogram, how much to collect, please use the loudspeaker in the village to help me inform." ”

"Huh, locusts?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were the same as Feng Lei before, except that they were confused, they were all stupid.

"Xiao Lei, what did you just say?"

"Third uncle, I mean...... Our boss has just ordered to buy locusts in our village, 20 yuan per kilogram, if you want to make money, hurry up and catch it, and when the time comes, grab it and pack it in a bag, come to my house to weigh it, and pay money and goods in one hand. ”

Hearing Feng Lei's confirmation for the second time, everyone changed from a state of confusion to curiosity and surprise.

The village chief asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Lei, what is your boss doing collecting grasshoppers?"

Without waiting for Feng Lei to answer, the others rushed to say.

"People must have come to the rescue of Feng Lei's face, and they were embarrassed to give money directly, so they let us catch grasshoppers......"

"I guess his boss must have taken these grasshoppers ......"

"Why do you care so much, it's enough to make money, Feng Lei, this man speaks with a mouthful of spit and a nail, but he can't talk and doesn't count, the village chief, I still have something at home, I'll go back first, ...... you talk"

"Wang Laomao, you are single, the whole family is not hungry when you eat alone, there is a at home, I'm afraid you are in a hurry to catch locusts and make money, right?"

"That's it, what's the matter with this all over the world? Are you afraid that we will rob you?"

……

It was supposed to be a very serious meeting, but in the end, everyone sneaked outside to catch locusts under the pretext that there was something at home, a stomach upset, a child was hungry, and so on.

Before, everyone wrapped the same as zongzi, like hiding from the plague god, but now it's good, chasing the locusts one by one......

Originally, there was no one in the village to hit a single pole, but now it is completely reversed, and the village entrance, the road, and the fields are full of people, men, women, and children, and even five or six-year-old dolls have come out with nets to catch locusts.

"Dad, I'm scared ......"

"What are you afraid of? This doesn't bite, you think of these as money, yes, it's all money, grab more, go back at night and Dad will buy you a drink to drink, you want to drink a few bottles!"

"Really?"

"Dad said it was true, that's true!"

……

"Xiao Ming, grab more, 20 yuan a kilogram, if we can catch a hundred kilograms today, this will cost 2,000 yuan, if you can catch it for a month, you will have enough money to marry your daughter-in-law!"

……

"Old Five, your net pocket is too big, this pocket must have several catties...... It's like picking up money......"

"Hehe, thanks to my wife's cleverness, she dismantled the window screen and sewed it into a net!"

……

"Hurry up and open all the doors and windows of the house, and let the locusts fly to the house by themselves, all that flies in is money......

"I'm Cao, this trick is ruthless!"
