Chapter Eighty-Six: The Secret in the Field of Prince Kobayashi
The villagers and soldiers, all armed with nets, joined the army to catch the locusts.
In the end, even Lin Ran led the children to join in.
"If you catch all these guys who are harming the crops, Chang'an will be able to reduce some of the damage. This locust is a delicious thing, and the teacher will make you a delicious game meal in the evening. ”
Lin Ran led dozens of teenagers with nets in their hands, struggling to catch the locusts that were stumbling around.
"Village Chief Lin, can this thing really be eaten? It's the first time I've heard of this locust as something to eat. ”
Lin Zhengliang laughed and said.
"Uncle Zhengliang, this locust is not only delicious, but also has medicinal effects, it is an excellent medicinal material for treating blindness, the villagers eat more, it is very good for the body, I can't eat enough I have bought a penny a hundred, how many are collected."
Lin Ran's words made the people who caught locusts nearby think that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Village Chief Lin, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again? ”
Lin Zhengliang asked in an excited trembling voice.
"Uncle Lin, I just said that I will buy all the locusts, a penny and a hundred, and I will collect as many as I want."
Lin Ran replied loudly.
"·····"
This time, the villagers heard it clearly and clearly.
What is the concept of a hundred locusts for a penny, there are more than a hundred locusts in almost a few nets, which is no different from grabbing money.
"Village chief, I know you want to help the villagers, but you can't help like this, so we will be unhappy. If you really want to help us, you can count it as a penny per thousand, and even then we can catch tens of thousands of them a day if we are diligent, which is a huge amount of money. ”
Lin Zhengliang's words provoked the villagers to speak in favor.
"For a thousand pennies, a hundred pennies are too expensive, we dare not ask for ······"
Lin Ran laughed dumbly when he heard this, this is the first time he has seen someone desperately sell their own prices at a low price, aren't they all eager to sell their things at a sky-high price?
Of course, Lin Ran can't treat these kind and simple villagers badly.
"Folks, I say that a hundred is a hundred, that's how I can make a lot of money, I can't lose the folks, if I accept other villages, I can give a price of one penny and a thousand, but the price of my own people must make me feel at ease······ If you refuse again, I will not accept it, but I will take it from other villages. ”
Lin Ran said loudly to the villagers.
"Don't, don't take it, village chief. We sell, can't we sell? ”
All the villagers responded one after another, and after receiving Lin Ran's satisfactory answer.
They spread their feet and went straight to the locusts in the field.
Nowadays, locusts can no longer be called pests in the eyes of the villagers, because their amount is directly related to the direct benefits of the villagers.
The villagers looked at the flying copper plate with hungry wolf-like eyes.
Yes, they are flying copper plates, and the price of a copper plate for a hundred locusts is no different from robbing money.
Now the villagers look at the locusts with kindness and warmth.
It's like an old man who hasn't tried the joy of the world for a long time, and when he sees the bride who hasn't been there for a long time, he can't wait to arrange it immediately and try this delightful joy.
"Your Highness, we haven't been to Linjia Village for a long time, and we don't know if the locust plague is serious in Lin Gongzi?"
In the carriage, Miss Cuizhu sat next to Princess Changle and opened her mouth to break the silence in the carriage.
"Cuizhu, do you remember what Lin Gongzi said to his parents when he left Linjia Village for the first time?"
Princess Changle suddenly asked.
"Your Highness is saying that we said before we sent Gongzi Lin to Gongzi Wannian to get into the car?" Cuizhu tilted her head and responded.
"Yes, that time. Did Childe say that you should never sow seeds at the beginning of spring this year? ”
Princess Changle flashed a pair of beautiful big eyes and said happily.
"Yes, Your Highness. Cuizhu remembered, and Lin Gongzi told his parents not to sow any seeds in the ground. ”
"Cuizhu, don't you think there's something wrong here?"
Changle looked at the Cuizhu girl with flashing eyes and asked.
"Your Highness, there is no problem, what is this asking him?"
Miss Cuizhu was directly confused by Changle's question, and she was puzzled.
She really couldn't think of any problems here, so she could only look at Princess Changle's slightly disappointed eyes.
"Princess Ben felt that Lin Gongzi seemed to have a premonition of a locust plague this year, so she told his parents not to plant any seeds in the fields."
Princess Changle blinked and said with a pair of dark and bright eyes.
"But Your Highness, we've been there a few times, and every time we see Kobayashi working in the fields, is he obviously sowing seeds?"
Cuizhu replied truthfully.
"So, the most critical question now is, what did Kobayashi grow in the land? The last time we went, we saw that the fields were full of white flowers, and at that time the princess thought that Kobayashi Gongzi had specially planted them to make perfumes, but later I learned that all perfumes were made from roses, and those white flowers were obviously not roses. So this time we must find out the secret of Kobayashi Gongzi's field. ”
Princess Changle said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Highness. Cuizhu knows. ”
"Remember not to call me Your Highness when you get off the carriage, this princess's name is still Miss Li Le."
Princess Changle blinked with a pair of beautiful big eyes and opened her mouth to explain.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect that Linjia Village would actually build a road, and the old slave thought that he had gone in the wrong direction and returned to Chang'an."
The voice of Mr. Huang came from the front of the carriage.
When Princess Changle and Cuizhu heard this, they unanimously lifted the curtains.
Sure enough, the road is paved with smooth and smooth bluestone slabs, which are neat and orderly, making people feel like they have arrived in Chang'an City.
"Your Highness, you see that they are all in the fields, and they seem to be catching locusts······ It looks like there are a lot of teenagers, maybe Lin Gongzi is also in it······"
The girl pointed to the fields in the north and said loudly.
"Mr. Huang, stay close to them. We got off at the closest place to them. ”
Princess Changle opened her mouth to explain.
"Teacher, there's a carriage coming."
Lin Feng's eyes were the sharpest, and when he saw the carriage, he immediately reported to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran raised his eyes and saw that it was the carriage he had been thinking about a few days ago, as if this carriage had appeared in his dreams many times recently, but when he woke up, he found that everything was gone······
