Xu was frightened by Yang Shaofeng's dangling butcher's knife, or maybe he received the blood sacrifice of those corrupt people, and the plague god and his old man left Juzhou unconsciously.

Anyway, the epidemic did not continue to spread, and with the increasing number of doctors and supplies dispatched by Zhu Laosi and the court bosses, the epidemic was gradually alleviating until it disappeared.

As for the two counties of Zhucheng and Shouguang, because there is an example of Yang Shaofeng's rectification of Juzhou in the front, the magistrates of the two counties in the back are also following the same example, closing the city and focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and there is no big mess in the end.

And after the epidemic in Jucheng completely subsided, it also made Zhu Laosi and the court of Daming see the value of Yang Shaofeng's article published in the newspaper.

Be prepared and unprepared.

If it weren't for the fact that there are four warehouses in Juzhou City, and there is a large amount of grain in them, it is estimated that the entire Juzhou City would not be completely blocked, and even if it is blocked, it is estimated that it will not last until the day when the epidemic completely disappears.

If the city of Juzhou had stockpiled a large number of masks and common medicinal materials such as big green root and yellow lotus as early as possible, it is estimated that this plague would not have developed to an unstoppable level at the beginning.

Thinking about it further, if the local states and counties of Daming have various plans to deal with epidemics and natural disasters, will they be dealt with very quickly? Can the losses of the people be minimized?

If the losses suffered by the people are smaller, does it mean that the losses suffered by the Ming Dynasty will be much smaller?

For the sake of the long-term flow of the treasury, Xia Yuanji almost endured the pain of blood in his heart and found the major leaders of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of War, and together they sent a letter to Zhu Laosi, saying that the disaster preparedness plan should be promoted as soon as possible and that local officials should learn to implement it.

Of course, Zhu Laosi, who agreed to this letter with a stroke of the pen, is not very concerned about this matter now - anyway, there are so many ministers in the court who have studied and discussed, and he, the emperor, does not need to do it himself.

Compared with this, Zhu Laosi is more concerned about Yang Shaofeng, a bastard.

Should we play 50 boards, or should we play 80 boards?

……

Yang Shaofeng, who had just been given gold sore medicine, was lying on the bed, and his tone was full of lovelessness: "Don't you like fighting crickets?" How did it become a grasshopper? ”

"Grasshoppers?" Zhu Zhanji looked at the locusts in his hands back and forth several times, but he couldn't connect the locusts with the grasshoppers: The place where you were beaten was your buttocks, not your brains, why did you become stupid?

Also, it's a locust, and it's not the same thing as a grasshopper. Now that locusts have appeared in Jimo, do you know what that means? ”

As soon as he heard about the locusts, Yang Shaofeng couldn't care about the wound on his buttocks, and only felt some saliva secreting in his mouth at the moment: "I know, it means that there is something delicious." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng with a confused expression: "Delicious?" Do you have any misconceptions about the locust plague? ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered and said, "How is it possible? It's true that this thing doesn't have enough to eat, locust plague? I'm afraid you don't have any misunderstanding of the word foodie? ”

"Foodie? Can you eat? Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "No, this kind of new word that comes out of your mouth is definitely not the original meaning, is it an edible product?" That is, someone is particularly edible? ”

"That's right!" Yang Shaofeng snapped his fingers, sat up with the pain in his buttocks, pointed at the locust in Zhu Zhanji's hand and said, "Do you know how delicious this thing is?" Do you know the benefits of eating this thing? ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji shaking his head, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, bring someone to catch locusts for me, and I'll fry it when I come back, let's have two drinks." ”

"I see you've taken a beating!" As soon as Yang Shaofeng's words fell, Zhu Laosi's voice came from outside the door: "The injury is not yet healed, so you want to eat fried locusts?" Besides, do you know how many locusts there are out there? ”

When Zhu Laosi said this, Yang Shaofeng immediately reacted: "Locust plague? ”

Zhu Laosi snorted, found a chair to sit down, took the teapot from Wuxin's hand and took a sip to his mouth, and then sighed and said: "What a disaster!"

I don't know what I did wrong as an emperor, so that natural disasters continue to occur year after year, floods, droughts, epidemics, and locust plagues, one after another, which is to suffer the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly became vigilant - I believe that Zhu Laosi will speak in such a complaining tone, it is better to believe that a certain meeting is fair, just and open!

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng didn't take the bait, Zhu Laosi changed his face and scolded hatefully: "I don't think you're a bastard!"

You go to the Wa country, the Wa country is full of blood, you come to Shandong, there is Tang Sai'er rebellion in Shandong, you go to Juzhou, there is an epidemic in Juzhou, and now you just return to Jimo, and locusts come to Jimo. Six champions, I think you're a locust champion! ”

When Zhu Laosi said this, Yang Shaofeng suddenly became annoyed: "Except for the matter of the Japanese Kingdom, I admit it, and the rest has nothing to do with grandchildren, right?"

Moreover, it was because of Tang Sai'er's rebellion that my grandson came to Shandong, and because of the epidemic in Juzhou, why did my grandson go to Juzhou, why is it all on my head? ”

"What about locusts?" Zhu Laosi stared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "The locusts appeared after you came to Jimo, right?" ”

Looking at Zhu Laosi, who was full of threats, and Zhu Zhanji, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to speak up, Yang Shaofeng, who was annoyed and angry, couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Maybe God thinks that your old man beat me too hard, so he sent locusts!" ”

"I see you're beaten lightly!"

Zhu Laosi was also annoyed suddenly-how can there be such a bastard thing in this world? Remembering to eat and not remembering, and not changing after repeated teachings, is simply hateful!

After being threatened by Zhu Laosi, Yang Shaofeng finally didn't dare to continue to collide, let alone involve God to say something, so he just frowned and said: "This thing has always only been enough to eat, how can it be a disaster?" ”

Throughout history, it seems that there are only words such as "covering the sky", "covering the sun", "the sun is endless", and "the fields are exhausted", but there are few records of "catching locusts for food".

The problem is, this thing is crunchy after frying, and the nutritional value is still high, and the rabbits of the flower growers in later generations are eager to drive to catch and eat locusts when they hear about it.

Looking at Yang Shaofeng's puzzled face, Zhu Laosi couldn't help but snort and said, "This is why not eat minced meat."

Will the locusts be left in one place and waiting for you to catch them? They eat the crops and then fly to other places, so why are they waiting for you to catch them?

Besides, what if you can catch locusts? After all, the crops are destroyed, and they can only grow again in the next year, and how can the locusts that have eaten up the crops and plants enough for the people to eat? ”

Yang Shaofeng blinked his eyes and asked, "Then ask God to worship Buddha?" Asking the locust god to appease his wrath? If this is the case, then Nuwa Niangniang will not make up the sky, and Dayu will not control the water, so it is not more convenient to simply ask the water god to receive the supernatural powers? ”

Zhu Laosi's expression stiffened, and the hand that had just stroked his beard almost pulled off his beard: "Then what do you say?" Let the people catch locusts to eat? ”

"That's right," Yang Shaofeng nodded: "This thing of locusts is boiled in water, then dried and ground into powder, and eating it can cure night blindness." Sun Simiao recorded in "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" that carrots and animal livers can cure night blindness, but in fact, this locust powder is just as good, and it is more nutritious than those things. ”

"Really? You didn't lie? Zhu Laosi couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "You know the consequences of deceiving me, right?" ”

Before Yang Shaofeng could reply, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Grandpa Huang, don't be deceived by him!" Do you count, how many times has he lied to his grandson since the thirteenth year exam? How many times have I lied to you?

However, although this guy is not a good thing, he does things more reliably, especially likes to scratch on the mouth, he said that locusts can cure night blindness, and it is not bad to think so. ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered and said, "This time I really didn't lie!" This stuff is really delicious when fried, and it can really cure night blindness when ground into powder! ”

With a roll of his eyes, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Otherwise, you let Anton Wei and Qingzhou Zuowei, Yanzhou Youwei and the people of Jimo catch locusts, and your grandson will buy them at a price of one penny per ten catties, and you will receive as much as you want!" ”

Zhu Laosi instinctively felt that something was not quite right - Yang Shaofeng, a bastard, couldn't raise money, as long as he raised money, he would definitely be planning to trick people!

Zhu Laosi, who had long been scared of the pit, just snorted at the moment and said, "Five cents!" Ten pounds of live locusts for five cents,"

"That's not going to work!"

Yang Shaofeng immediately shouted: "How much do boiled and dried locusts weigh? How much do live locusts weigh? Could that be the same thing? And it's five cents, aren't you letting your grandson lose money? ”

Zhu Laosi immediately reacted, but he still didn't plan to let Yang Shaofeng go: "Otherwise, it's just a penny and a catty?" ”

Yang Shaofeng frowned and asked, "Dried or alive?" ”

"Sun-dried," Zhu Laosi said: "The sun-dried ones cost a penny a catty, and the living ones cost a penny and three catties, so it should be about the same." ”

Yang Shaofeng thought about it, and then responded: "Deal!" Your old man is an emperor, but his teeth can be used as gold, and he must not go back! ”

After thinking about the original purchase price of ten catties per penny after drying proposed by Yang Shaofeng, and then thinking about the tenfold increase in his own life, it became the purchase price of one penny and one catty, Zhu Laosi was suddenly a little embarrassed: "I Jinkou Yuyan, how can I regret it!" ”

Yang Shaofeng leaned together, and although he grinned in pain, he still laughed out loud, and shouted to the door: "Dog! Go and let people catch locusts, and tell the young lady to prepare the treasure money, our family is going to get rich! ”

Yang Shaofeng, who was overjoyed, didn't care that Zhu Laosi was in front of him, and hurriedly got off the bed, and then said to Zhu Zhanji: "Go back and invite you to eat the locust feast, this business is counted as your dry shares!" ”
