He Jianhou was delayed in Tianjin for five days and did not set off again until the end of April.

The rest of the way is normal.

However, at the same time, bad news on the southern battlefield also kept coming, after quickly taking control of Jinhua and Quzhou, Xu Du began to build fortresses, and reorganized his army, completely according to the standards of the Changsheng army......

And the speed of the compilation is very fast.

Both weapons and officers seemed to pop out of nowhere.

It came out of nowhere.

You must know that the two armies have to have tens of thousands of turtledoves, and the queue of regimental training, rotation shooting, all of which must have enough experience, Yang Xin's current training for nearly half a year, can only be said to be useful. But Xu Du has it directly, which means that at least one-tenth of the veterans in the two armies must be led by veterans who are familiar with this tactic, otherwise it is impossible to bring those recruits into an army so quickly.

"It should be the victorious army."

Yang Huan said.

They are in Texas at the moment.

He originally went north to return to Beijing, and he happened to meet Yang Xin here, so he naturally followed.

Although he was stabbed by Zhang Mingzhen, because of the soft armor protection on his body, he was not really injured, but was cut and fractured by heavy blows.

After all, it was cut on the shoulder by a seedling knife, even if there is soft armor protection, it is indispensable to break the bones, and it is still fixed with plaster and splint, which is processed in Zhoushan, and the Yang family has established a lot of industry in Zhoushan over the years, and in fact, Zhoushan also has a piece of land purchased by the Yang family and used as a foreigner's residential area, and foreigners who trade in Ningbo Port can only live there, completely imitating Macau and Hong Kong Island.

In order to provide security for the Zhoushan cannery, which was vital to Yang Xin, the Yang family's hospital opened a branch there.

After all, it's too important there.

Every year, the fishing team of the Yang family kills a large number of whales in the Zhoushan fishing grounds, and then quickly makes canned food packed in iron sheets, and after doing it, it is directly transported north and sent to the strategic reserve of the Yang family in the new city, which can produce tens of thousands every day in the fishing season, and the whole Zhoushan is making cans for the Yang family.

In the same way, countless iron-smelting workshops in Jiangxi, Wuhu and other places are making thin iron sheets for them and tinning them in factories in Nanjing.

Because of the increasing tension of tin, even under Yang Xin's strong request, Jiuqiansui completely opened up the mining of tin, but at present, it is mainly from Hezhou, and the tin in Yunnan is still not enough because of the long distance. There is a tin mine in Huguang, but unfortunately Yang Xin saw that it was antimony, which was very embarrassing, but it made Song Yingxing know a new metal, which was originally mined from this mine and had been regarded as tin.

Next, we have to rely on Yunnan, so Yang Xin is already looking for help from the Mu family.

Fortunately, the tin in Yunnan can take the waterway.

At this time, the Nanpan River is navigable, although the following section of Anlong can be stable and navigable, but fortunately, if you go down the river, you can still float down smoothly from Kaiyuan or the current Ami Prefecture holding a boat, this section of the river is mainly a rapids, but it can be really navigable in the upstream Qujing area after this section.

It's also troublesome, though.

After all, it's too far away, and Amizhou is the territory of Tusi.

Yang Xin is already planning to go to Malaya.

"Victorious Army."

Yang Xin nodded.

This is also understandable, the gentry of Su Song can't wait for trouble to lead to the east, if Xu can drag him in Zhejiang, it will be too perfect, so they will not let Xu Du lack people and weapons, in the end, this thing is too easy to smuggle, Ningbo Shaoxing has a transportation line to supply Xu Du.

"Uncle, in fact, my nephew thinks that the bigger they make trouble, the better, this is a real rebellion, and no one will dare to say anything if we go to arrest and cut off our heads one by one in the future."

Yang Huan said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, our duty is to restore stability in Zhejiang as soon as possible!"

Yang Xin said.

"Well, my nephew knows what to do."

Yang Huan hurriedly said.

"You go back to recuperate first, try to do as little as possible on the ship these days, and it is estimated that it will be almost the same when you arrive in Nanjing."

Yang Xin said.

Yang Huan hurriedly retired.

Yang Dudu stood at the window, looking deeply at the busy dock outside.

The three-headed thief was squatting there happily whistling and teasing the women, at this time Luo Rucai had already been vacant, and officially became a sentry commander of this army with the name of the Dangkou Army, Liu Guoneng took over his captain, and Zhang Xianzhong took over Liu Guoneng's team deputy. And Li Jin has also become the captain, Ai Nengqi, He Jin, and Ma Jinzhong are also captains or team vice-presidents, after all, it is also a hero level, and it is normal to stand out in a team of more than 20 people.

However, Li Zicheng is still working as a post officer, and he is still very motivated.

As for Gao Yingxiang, he is a horse seller.

The shopkeeper of the Yang family in Yan'an Mansion still has an impression of this person, and he has dealt with him before, but the evaluation is not very good, and he is not like a good person to describe it as a shopkeeper.

Well, he's still very discerning.

"Luo Rucai!"

Yang Xin shouted.

Luo Rucai, who was whistling at a little daughter-in-law, turned his head in amazement, but he didn't salute, and after turning his head, he was stunned, and Zhang Xianzhong, who turned his head together, all stood up and looked at the sky dumbfounded. Then the little daughter-in-law let out a frightened scream, and even the other people on the dock stopped and looked in the same direction in horror, as if a monster was falling from the sky.

Yang Xin suddenly pounced.

He swept past the window in an instant, threw himself on the dock and then turned over and stood up, the sky was like a sandstorm, and a foggy gray quickly pressed over......

"Locusts, locusts!"

Luo Rucai screamed.

Then in the midst of the wailing on the dock, Yang Xin watched in amazement as the locusts fell from the sky like a torrential rain.

These small insects, which seem to be worthless and have even become high-priced delicacies in modern times, overwhelm him in an instant. Not only did it drown him, but it also drowned everything around him, and all the green was covered with a dense mass of locusts, and even they crashed into people, and even gnawed people with hunger. The whole dock was filled with doomsday cries and screams, and everyone ran like they broke down, striking the locusts in vain with everything in their hands, but the latter's seemingly infinite numbers made all efforts futile.

Yang Xin sighed against a locust, and silently looked at a farmland not far away that was instantly covered by locusts and rapidly changing color.

"Governor, this year is over."

Next to him, Luo Rucai also sighed with a locust.

"Tell everyone to disembark."

Yang Xin said.

"Well, the governor wants it."

Liu Guoneng was stunned.

"Catch locusts, Pontus buys them, fifty pounds and a tael of silver."

Yang Xin said.

"Quick, go catch locusts, fifty catties and a tael of silver!"

Luo Rucai yelled at his subordinates.

The soldiers were instantly excited, everyone flocked to the locusts in the field, and the common people watched this scene blankly......

"What are you looking at? Fifty pounds and a tael of silver, if you don't hurry up to find a sack to catch, if you catch it, you will send it here, and I will collect as much as I want. Li Jin, don't arrest it with you, take your men to the city to buy all the pots in the shops, and then go get some salt. ”

Yang Xin shouted.

Li Jin, who had just run out of the cabin, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates.

At this time, Gao Hongtu ran over.

"Go, go into the city and tell the governor of Texas, let him send a notice for the people to catch locusts, and then add salt to cook and send it here, fifty catties and two taels of silver, and then send a letter to the prefect of Jinan, and the prefect of several nearby prefectures also sent letters, saying that all the stores of our Yang family in various places accept such locusts."

Yang Xin said.

"What's the use of that?"

Gao Hongtu was stunned.

"Make locust powder!"

Yang Xin said.

What else can be done with this kind of thing?

He doesn't have any insecticides now, and besides, there are insecticides and no airplanes spraying, so let's do as much as this can solve! Add salt to locusts, it is best to cook and dry them with concentrated salt, grind them into powder and then add them to the canned food in the future, but it is definitely not possible to collect locust powder, and I don't know what people will mix with him!

But it is possible to harvest cooked locusts, which cannot be adulterated.

Then the businesses in various parts of the Yang family, including the branch of Shoucheng Qianzhuang, all collected this, and then gathered together to build a special drying oven to dry and grind powder, which is all good protein, of course, there is also grass they eat, but after this treatment and then ground into powder, who can tell what it is, and after it is mixed into the can, it will be even more indistinguishable.

As for hazardous substances......

The locusts are not stupid, whoever sees the locusts eat those poisonous, at most it is some leaves and grass crop seedlings, and each can is mixed with a few catties of locust powder, and it is estimated that it is only a few taels.

It won't make a difference.

Besides, when those hungry people are hungry and crazy, Guanyin soil eats it, and they still care about this? Anyway, they all gnaw up the leaves of the trees themselves! In short, there is only one solution for this kind of thing, and Yang Xin doesn't know the effect, but there is no other way at all, and the people can only be encouraged to catch it in this era.

Catch as much as you can!

In fact, locust eating is very common in this area, and the ancient people were not stupid, so why not do it if they can satisfy their stomachs and limit the locust plague? But this thing can't be solved by eating at all, as soon as it breaks out, hundreds of millions of hundreds of millions of them will sweep by, and the common people can still eat a few, and this thing can't be grabbed and stored like food. But locust powder can still be stored, as for adding to the canned food is better, but also can be transported to the place that has not suffered from the locust plague, at present, because of the drought in Liaodong, the canned food of the crockpot is being transported to Liaodong in large quantities, and a can is added to ten catties first.

"In this era of dog days, you can't let me have a peaceful birthday!"

Yang Dudu said hatefully.

Then he took off his python robe, waved it in the air, instantly wrapped several catties of locusts, and carried it back to the cabin.

"Sir, what are you?"

The old servant specially sent by Mrs. Yang to follow said suspiciously.

"Take the fried locusts, eat fried locusts today, and, pass the order, all the soldiers will eat fried locusts today, and add some chili peppers, peppercorns and the like when frying."

Yang Xinsai said to him.
