Chapter 275: A Private Visit to the County of the Locust

Yang Shaofeng looked at Zhu Zhanji with caring eyes.

The emperor of the old Zhu family is wonderful, he likes to take drugs, he likes to cultivate immortals, he likes to be a carpenter, he likes to fight, he likes to fight, he has everything, and now there is one more who wants to raise locusts?

It's a shame that this stupid boy dares to think about it!

"You have to have an environment for locusts, right? Gotta have to have feed, right? You have to manage it well, right?

Raising this thing is not the same as raising chickens, ducks, fish and the like - no matter how many chickens, ducks and fish or the like, you can eat them, and bury them, but locusts can fly, and once they fly out in large quantities, it will definitely be a disaster. ”

You say, when the time comes, will the imperial court and the local government be busy fighting the locust plague or will they arrest these ancestors and send them back?

was asked by Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded: "No, right?" Wouldn't it be nice to cover it with a fine net and feed some leaves and weeds or something? ”

Yang Shaofeng turned his head and glanced at Zhu Zhanji, walked to a pile of weeds, bent down and grabbed a handful, spread his hand and said, "You say, such a small locust, how dense do you have to use a net to cover it?" Do you switch to light yarn? Is the money earned back enough for the cost? ”

With just these two sentences, a bunch of small locusts in Yang Shaofeng's hands had already jumped away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye: "Tell me about raising locusts, but don't dare to let the imperial grandfather and his old man know, be careful that he smokes you!" ”

Zhu Zhanji asked suspiciously: "Smoke me?" Can't you? ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed, turned his head and motioned to Zhu Zhanji to take a look at his family's four-legged gold-swallowing beast, and then asked, "Do you think you are favored now?" Or is your four-legged gold-swallowing beast more favored? ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly became dumbfounded.

There is no doubt that when there was no such four-legged gold-swallowing beast before, he was the most favored cub, but after having the four-legged gold-swallowing beast, he had fallen to second place in the heart of the emperor's grandfather.

Turning his head to look at his father, who was smiling heartlessly and fighting locusts with his mother, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there are several bottom ones behind me.

was thinking crankily in his heart, and Yang Shaofeng had already hummed an extremely weird tune and walked away: "What is the scourge of crops-grasshoppers!" Why not catch it! --Jump! Because it has six legs, it catches and jumps! ”

Zhu Zhanji also extinguished the idea of raising locusts at this time, simply shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the crowd in the distance with Yang Shaofeng.

When he got close to the crowd, he saw that Yang Shaofeng was already sitting cross-legged on the ground like those croppers, and a few young people were listening intently to an old farmer talking about the mountains there.

"At that time, where was the good life now, and I often closed the position and prepared the position, and our salted egg Zhixian took us to make a fortune, at that time, don't even think about it!

Feudal official? If you are not honest, the government that is bought by the landlord will arrest people and go to the board, and after a few boards, this person will be almost the same.

Some of you may have heard of it, and some of you may not know that in the past, our people were beaten to death, and those big men only need to pay a donkey, and no matter how much it is, it is not worth it. ”

As soon as the old farmer's words fell, a man next to him snorted and scolded: "Into his mother's crooked criticism!" Isn't this a trampling? ”

The old farmer's face was full of bitterness: "Practicing people? Let me tell you, just this donkey, often those sufferers are happy to suffer!

Do you think, the price of the donkey is not cheap, since we can't count on the government to be the master for us, and there is no saying that killing people pays for our lives, so why don't you hurry up and accept the donkey? I can finally make the family's life a little better!

But then again, although it is said that only one donkey is paid for killing someone, not many people have really seen these donkeys, and they were probably taken away by the officials.

Also, when someone stole money in the bazaar, and no one reported it to the official, why did you say it? ”

Seeing that the old farmer stopped and didn't speak, Zhu Zhanji suddenly became interested, sat down cross-legged like Yang Shaofeng, and then urged: "Why? ”

The old peasant spat and said, "Report to the official? How can the official and the poor master be so rewarded?

What is good-looking money, filial piety money, hemp shoes money, sprinkling money, tea money, no matter what you can come up with and what you can't think of, those officials and soldiers can think of it, anyway, you have to take the money.

Like those who have been stolen money, they don't report to the official, they often report to the official, and you often pay more to the official than you lose. ”

A man shouted, "Into the donkey's ball!" Kill them! ”

The old farmer slapped his thigh and sighed, "That's right! Kill them! Back then, the grandfather was against the yuan, and we didn't have a sloppy soft egg in Shandong, so follow the grandfather! ”

After finishing speaking, the old farmer simply lifted the short placket on his body, pointed to a scar on his back and said, "See it?" This is what Lao Tzu was cut down by those dog-day soldiers when he was transporting grain for his grandfather.

At that time, Lao Tzu was clever and pretended to be dead in the pile of people, but he never thought that those dogs were not things, and he was still mending knives in the pile of dead people! It's a big loss to Lao Tzu! ”

It seemed that he felt that he had mentioned the disgraceful things of the year, and the old farmer diverted the topic again, and then said: "Think about what you ate at that time? What to drink? That is, tie your head to the waistband of your pants and them!

I still remember that I didn't eat at the time, my sixth child was still young at the time, and I was hungry and crying at night, so I thought I could eat a little, but there was a fart!

Don't say no, even if you have, you have to save some food, and Lao Tzu has to transport the food to the great grandfather as military food!

Do you think, if the army of the great grandfather at that time was not full, what would he do to fight with the Yuan soldiers? Where do you have a good life now? ”

Yang Shaofeng gestured a thumbs up to the old farmer and praised: "You are always this!" Pure gentlemen! Pure! ”

The old farmer said proudly: "Hey! That's right! It's pure! Pure gentlemen!

Yesterday, I heard that our salted egg magistrate and the imperial grandson wanted us to catch locusts, and Lao Tzu was energetic at that time!

What's wrong with the locust god? No matter how awesome the locust god is, can he still have the awesome soldiers of the year?

I didn't eat or drink back then, and I can't live anymore, and we Shandong people are not afraid of the Yuan soldiers, and now we have the reserve warehouse and the Changping position set up by the grandfather, so I am not afraid of starvation, why are we afraid of what locust gods? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil! ”

Yang Shaofeng's face was a little ugly - he still shouted salted eggs in front of me? Isn't this scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk?

As soon as he was unhappy, Yang Shaofeng said directly to the old farmer: "Uncle, do you look familiar with me?" ”

The old farmer looked at Yang Shaofeng back and forth a few times, smacked his almost toothless mouth, shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar." However, looking at your delicate skin and tender flesh, it looks like a book.

I heard that the salted egg county brought dozens of students to our Jimo, could it be that you are the student of the salted egg county?

No, now you can't call him the old man's salted egg Zhixian, his old man likes to catch locusts now, I heard that he is caught to eat, so he should be called Locust Zhixian. ”

Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't help it, and laughed wildly several times before pointing at Yang Shaofeng and saying, "He is the locust magistrate you said!" ”

As soon as Zhu Zhanji's words fell, the young men around the old farmer suddenly looked at each other, and only after a long time did they react, and they hurriedly stood up one by one, intending to salute Yang Shaofeng, but threw the old man who had just bragged there.

The old man was also dumbfounded - arranging the county magistrate is nothing, the entire people of Jimo are good, and I haven't heard of the magistrate, but now he has hit the main master......

In a panic, the old man remembered the set of rules set by Beiyuan, and immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Yang Shaofeng: "Adults forgive sins, little old man is used to talking nonsense......"

In this way, Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji were frightened, and the two hurriedly supported the old man, and hurriedly comforted the frightened old man, and only let the old man sit back after a long time.

After waving his hand and motioning for everyone else to sit down, Yang Shaofeng said to the old man with a smile: "Otherwise, you should call me the salted egg magistrate."

You know that I asked you to catch locusts for food, but if you don't know, you still think that when I came to Jimo, I would be like the locusts crossing the border. At that time, my official reputation will stink, and those imperial historians will inevitably impeach me! ”

The old man suddenly glared and said angrily: "Who dares!" These young people don't know Hongwu's edict, but the little old man has memorized Hongwu's edict back then, and he knows the rules set by his grandfather!

What did your old man do in our Jimo, we are not blind, if anyone dares to use this matter to impeach your old man, the little old man will take someone to the capital to sue the emperor and avenge your old man! ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly cried and laughed: "Do you always know where the capital is?" ”

"Why don't you know?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed to the north, grinning and said, "The emperor has moved the capital to Shuntian Mansion, and there are still people in our Ming Dynasty who don't know what's wrong?" Even if you don't know, Xiao Lao'er will take people to arm those dog officials who impeached you, and let them lead the way into Beijing! ”

Yang Shaofeng saw that the old farmer was getting more and more unsliding, so he simply got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't listen to you always bragging here, I have to go to other places to take a look, can you rest for a while?" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng didn't pay attention to the old man's shouts such as bragging, and slowly paced to other places.

Zhu Zhanji followed Yang Shaofeng's side, turned his head to look at Yang Shaofeng from time to time, and praised loudly: "Okay, this is the people's heart of Jimo, you can be fooled." ”

Yang Shaofeng pursed his lips and said, "Am I fooled? It's basically the people who are thinking about the good of the old man! People are not stupid, who is good to them, they have a clear heart, and they have counted! ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng hummed the weird tune again: "What is the scourge of crops~~"

It's just that before Yang Shaofeng could hum a few words, he saw Beigong Jun running over in a hurry, and he didn't care about saluting Zhu Zhanji, so he said directly: "The emperor suddenly felt unwell, and ordered His Royal Highness and the champion to return quickly!" ”
