Looking at the dense locusts in front of him, Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "What a natural disaster, the old man has lived for decades, and he has never seen so many locusts gathered together." ”

"In the past, even if there was a great drought in the world, the people would try their best to rescue the crops, but this year the emperor knew that I had grain here, and the imperial court's disaster relief efforts were small.

After the people of Guanzhong gathered in Lantian, the crops in the field were directly barren, and now my 10,000 acres of fertile land here are the fattest dishes for these locusts.

There was nothing to be found anywhere else, so the locusts gathered in this incomplete pass, but unfortunately they thought it was a good meal, but they didn't know that it would be someone else's food. ”

Seeing that the forbidden army had almost set up the camp, Yang Wenhua and Cheng Yanjin went in to rest.

Cheng Yanjin grabbed the gourd scoop, scooped a large scoop of tea from the tea jar, poured it hard, and then all the sweat on his face came out, and after wiping a handful of it on his face, he shouted.

"Happy, the tea that Mr. Yang configured is really good, it is cool and thirst-quenching, and it is a little sweet, what are the secret recipes, can Mr. Yang tell Lao Cheng?"

"There's no secret recipe, when you make tea, just put some mint and licorice in it."

Yang Wenhua also took off the gourd on his body and explained after drinking some tea.

By the time night fell, countless granaries had been set up in the forbidden army camp, and dozens of rows of stoves had been dug on the ground.

With the cooperation of Yang Wenhua's farmers, 1,500 forbidden soldiers took off their armor, put down their blades, and then changed into cloth hoods, and held nets in their hands.

Their enemies have also become locusts churning in the purple light, they don't need to work hard, they just need to work hard, and the spoils of war are the food of the disaster year, so the morale of the forbidden army is particularly high at this moment.

"Second and third sons, the mother-in-law is drinking porridge and eating meat, it depends on your next performance, go ahead."

With Cheng Bitingjin's order, the 1,500 forbidden troops immediately cheered and rushed forward with a net.

In the dozens of thick purple lights, the churning locusts were so dense that they only needed to run a few steps with a net bag to fill a bag of locusts.

Grabbing the net pocket, he quickly ran to the stove, and poured most of the remaining locusts into the iron pot, and naturally someone quickly stir-fried it.

After a few moments, a strange smell of paste spread.

Soon, pots and pounds of locust powder were poured into the granary.

Looking at the speed visible to the naked eye in the granary, the locust powder inside grew rapidly, and Cheng Yanjin, who was wearing a hood, said happily: "This is locust extermination, it's just grabbing grain."

Mr. Yang's purple baby is really easy to use, I don't know if I can sell some to Lao Cheng, the price is easy to say. ”

Yang Wenhua smiled bitterly, "It's not that it can't be sold, it's just that it's more complicated to supplement the light source, when Yang is free, try to get it out." ”

"Oh? I don't know what supplement this purple light needs, can Lao Cheng help in any way? ”

Yang Wenhua was silent for a while before he said, "What you need, well, you can understand it as similar to lightning." ”

This time it was Cheng Yanjin's turn to be silent.

After the purple light weakened in the second half of the night, dozens of 10,000-jin granaries were already piled up, but when Yang Wenhua recycled the purple flashlight, he found that one was missing.

If it's less, it's less, Yang Wenhua looked carefully, but he didn't find it and didn't pursue it, so high-tech things, can you understand it?

After counting the total amount of locust powder and throwing a bag of plastic paper money to Cheng Yanjin, Yang Wenhua returned to the mountain gate.

The next day, Yang Wenhua did not personally guard the harvest of locusts, but asked Yang Guo to send someone to hand over with Cheng Yanjin.

After five days of harvesting locusts, Yang Wenhua finally got tens of thousands of quintals of locust powder, for which he paid Cheng Yanjin and tens of millions of wen of adhesive paper.

Some of this money was exchanged for ordinary food, and many more were bought.

Now there are people who are specially buying adhesive paper money, because adhesive paper money can not only be exchanged for ordinary grain here by Yang Wenhua, but also exchanged for sought-after kudzu powder.

Because the price of kudzu powder is twice as expensive as other grains, no one cares about it at first, and when Li Shimin's restaurant spreads, the effect of kudzu powder that can make meat more tender spreads, and kudzu powder is gradually sought after by people.

But the initial sales were not large, until people went into the mountains to dig kudzu to make flour, only to find that it was really like the news from Yang Wenhua, after the spring sprouts, there is not much powder.

At this time, the sales of kudzu powder suddenly increased, and the grain of twenty wen a pound was indeed more expensive, and it was Yang Wenhua's glue paper money, which was even more expensive, but if it was used as an ingredient price, it would be acceptable.

In addition, the fine iron beads and brass beads of Liaodong Yuanhua have been exchanged at the same price as Yang Wenhua's plastic paper money, and now many people have begun to deliberately purchase Yang Wenhua's plastic paper money.

By the time the locusts had been cleared, the embankment was almost complete.

At this time, although the Cui family sent a large amount of coastal kelp and taro from Bashu to Chang'an along Weishui, Yang Wenhua no longer had food pressure.

However, Yang Wenhua still gave the people in Guanzhong a ten-day vacation, and the weather was too hot, even if Yang Wenhua had arranged it, there were still people suffering from heat stroke from time to time during the four-hour break at noon.

Second, these people have been doing things for half a month, and they can already exchange some rice and grain to go back and subsidize their families.

After Yang Wenhua announced that half of the people would go home first, and then replace the other half of the people ten days later, people began to take out the stored plastic paper money and exchange it for food.

Just when Yang Wenhua thought that the stored grain would be exchanged in large quantities, people chose taro and kelp for a large number of exchanges.

When Yang Wenhua received the news, he had to stop and let those who had already been exchanged exchange it again.

Inform them that if they want to exchange taro and kelp, they can exchange it in Chang'an, or they can also exchange it along the Weishui coast, and the price is more favorable.

You must know that due to the interruption of the flow of the Bahe River, these two things were picked up from Chang'an by manpower.

Let the Cui family's fleet unload things along Weishui, just cooperate, and things have become much simpler.

In this way, half a month after coming to Lantian, Guanzhong Minfu returned home with a small bag of rice grain on his back and a few hundred pieces of paper money.

Unlike when he came, he came with a sad face and a worried heart, and when he returned, he was mostly happy.

Of course, there are also very few people who spend money indiscriminately, and they are still worried when they go back, so it is not something that Yang Wenhua can manage.
