Chapter 131: Spreading oil around Chang'an
A jar of castor oil is enough for a hundred times, don't look at this castor oil is used to color clothes, but this oil basically will not have much loss, not after using it once, it can no longer be used, if you save a little use, it can be used for a long time, but this made locust plague began to spray around Chang'an City, it is different, the oil is really sprinkled on the ground, there is no possibility of recycling, and it is gone.
According to Jia Yi's guess, if you want to sprinkle castor oil around the entire Chang'an City, you need at least five hundred jars, and because it is diluted a lot, the spraying range has changed from the original two miles to three miles, which is all real silver.
Not to mention the money, Jia Yi still has to find a way not to let people know that they are sprinkling oil on the ground to play, and he has to think of a way to cover it up.
Thinking of this method really hurts Jia Yi's brain, this kind of thing, anyone who sees it will feel that it is a very loser's behavior, and when the time comes, it will be hellish if there is not a large group of people around, the most important thing is His Royal Highness the Prince, although there are not many people who know him, but as long as there is a person who feels that Li Er's imperial power is not right and sees the prince acting here, it must be up to check and inquire, in case you see it clear, when Li Er pretends to be forced, people stand up and poke it, it is estimated that Li Er will not do anything to that person, But Jia Yi's head is difficult to say, after all, such a big thing that humiliates the royal family, no matter what, you have to find someone to vent your anger.
Jia Yi rubbed his head and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to get it, and seeing that it was not too early, he simply ate and slept. What's the matter, I'll think about it tomorrow.
Now that the locusts have begun to fly all over the world, no one wants to eat when a locust suddenly pops into the rice bowl, so everyone in the Lin Mansion has moved to the warm house area, at least there will be no locust infestation here.
Li Chengqian had already returned to the palace, but Qin Huaiyu and Zhang Daren stayed, after eating, Jia Yigang wanted to talk to Lin Ruyu about life and ideals, but Qin Huaiyu, an ignorant little kid, took the first step to pull Jia Yi aside.
"Brother Jia, what do you think I should do?"
"What to do, what are you not going to do, just take the food to appease the hungry people when the time comes, and ask me about this?"
Jia Yi angrily shook off Qin Huaiyu and grabbed his hand, and after dropping a sentence, he was about to walk back, Lin Ruyu was still waiting in the room, the Spring Festival was worth a thousand dollars, do you know?
Jia Yi had just taken a step here, and Qin Huaiyu pulled him again, and said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Jia, do you know that it has always been not easy to help the victims, those victims have no food to eat, they will make trouble when they are hungry, and when they have food, they will also make trouble when they are idle and bored, this is the first time I have taken on such an errand, you can help me come up with ideas, so don't let me mess up this errand."
"I said Huaiyu, I'm very busy, okay, you still let me help you find a way to do this little thing, isn't it because they don't have food to eat when they are hungry, just give them food, they are full and idle when they have nothing to do, it's better to do it, we Datang needs to build more places, build roads, build houses, repair embankments, and those who can do it are scattered to work, otherwise there is no food to eat, and those who can't work can also find them some light work to do, as long as they feel that they want to eat, they must work."
As soon as Jia dropped this sentence, he turned around and ran in the direction of his room, when he was young, he liked sex, and he couldn't stop it.
After a ridiculous night, Jia Yi walked out of the room with his back in his hands again.
Zhang Daren rushed over as soon as he saw it, squeezed his eyebrows and smirked at Jia Yi, and he didn't speak, but only made Jia Yi feel uncomfortable all over his body.
"Are you sick?"
"Not sick."
"You're not sick, what are you smirking at?"
"Hehe, I'm wondering why you're in such a hurry to have a child, isn't there something unspeakable?"
"Get out."
Soon Li Chengqian ran over again, chased after Jia Yi's ass and asked hard if he thought of a way, Jia Yi was helpless, and said in his heart, can you change someone else to call you if you have anything you can't think of, let's work hard at night, and we have to work hard during the day, it's really tiring and tired.
"I think of one solution, but I don't know if it's feasible or not."
"What's the solution, say it quickly."
"Let's just say that I think the land outside Chang'an City is too dry, so that as soon as the wind blows, Chang'an City will be dusty, in order to thank our emperor for the grace of the peaceful and prosperous world created for us, we and other businessmen volunteered to shop three miles outside Chang'an City, so that my emperor's living environment will become better."
Li Chengqian didn't speak, but from his strange eyes in Jia Yi's eyes, he knew that there must be something bad about this matter, and after holding it for a long time, it was estimated that it was really uncomfortable, so he said: "Aren't you afraid that the officials in the court will say that you are a loser, and then arrest and put you in prison in the name of wasting a huge amount of castor oil?" ”
"It's better to go to jail, the province is devastated by your gang every day."
"Haha, are you willing to give up your daughter-in-law who is like a flower?"
Jia Yi's weakness was poked in one sentence, isn't it, you won't be able to see Lin Ruyu when you enter the prison, so you have to ponder this matter.
"Does this plague of locusts have to be sprayed every inch in place?" Li Chengqian suddenly asked Jia Yi.
"No, just spray it, as long as it's not too far away, it's not too much of a problem."
"That's good, you can hold a ground calligraphy competition outside the city, reward 10,000 yuan, reward the person with the best calligraphy, water is not good, after all, the water will dry up quickly, ink is more expensive than oil, and oil is just right."
When Jia Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this is indeed a good way, since Li Er implemented the imperial examination, basically everyone in the world who can write has gathered in Chang'an City, which directly made Li Er say the sentence "The heroes of the world are all in my place." "Although most of the people who rushed to the exam came to Chang'an from home, there are many talented people, regardless of whether they passed the exam or not, they basically choose to stay in Chang'an City, or wait for the official to be dispatched, or wait for the arrival of the imperial examination in the new year.
All in all, there are many talents in Chang'an City now, Chang'an City has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are still tens of thousands of students, plus this 10,000 bounty, I believe that it is not a student, it is estimated that as long as it is literate, it will come.
Tens of thousands of people, distributed down, one hundred and fifty miles by three miles, as long as one person writes a day's words, it can basically be completed, which is much better than Jia Yi thought of putting himself on the name of a super loser.
"Wait, how do I feel like I've fallen for you, who will pay the 10,000 yuan?"
Jia Yike has already made 50,000 yuan to buy castor oil, and if there is another 10,000 yuan in this competition, it will simply be asking for his old life, and he will not pay this money if he is killed.
"Look at your stinginess, this is more than money, I believe that the businessmen in the world should rush out."
Jia Yi looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, when did this kid become so business-minded, as long as he made a name during the competition, when the businessmen didn't gather together to ask grandpa and grandma, the name of the royal event, not to mention the advertising effect, this name alone is enough for them to be happy for a lifetime.
"Okay, that's it, I'll have all the restaurants post this news at the same time."
There is such an advantage that the Sifang restaurant is open all over the vicinity of Chang'an, which can spread the news as quickly as possible.
With many families scattering in all directions, it is believed that this news will soon spread throughout the real Guanzhong.
Soon the diluted castor oil was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the students, and the registration location Jia Yi was directly arranged outside the city, and it is estimated that many people will come.
Just a short while, Jia Yi saw the smoke and dust rising from the official road in the distance, and took a look, I have a mother, four uncles and grandmothers, this is a few people.
Dense crowd of people, rushed towards the registration office at the city gate, Jia Sheng was afraid that these people who had lost their minds at first glance would be unfavorable to themselves, so he hurriedly turned his head and went into the city, and came to the city wall with Li Chengqian, and it happened that those students also came to the city quickly, and the sound of shouting and shouting Even if he stood on the city wall, Jia Yi still heard a burst of beeping in his ears.
"Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, Prince Lonely, please listen to me."
Li Chengqian's voice was not loud, but the effect was surprisingly good, just a short period of effort, the city wall became a pin drop can be heard, now is the time for the prince to speak, no one will dare not give Li Chengqian face.
"Now there is a businessman Jia Jiayi, and I feel the ...... of the prosperous era"
Jia Yi stood beside Li Chengqian, listening to it dizzy, or something, he basically didn't understand what he was saying, he only knew that this literary language made people's heads hurt.
When Li Chengqian finished speaking, he saw him looking at Jia Yi with a smile, and asked Jia Yi with a smile on his face: "What did I say?" ”
"Uh, what do you mean?"
“……”
Jia Yi didn't understand, but it didn't mean that others couldn't understand, and soon these students began to choose a place, starting from the city wall, extending three miles outward, no matter how big the word, as long as they chose a location, they could start writing on the spot.
Soon the locust plague prepared by Jia Yi was also in place, and then many large problems sent by other merchants fell into the hands of many students, and for a time a magnificent calligraphy competition kicked off around Chang'an City.
For a whole day, all the locust plagues were covered within three miles outside Chang'an City, and the students who had written their own words sat on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the referee.
