The summer vacation is also a kind of helplessness, the locust plague in the land of Sanfu has disrupted the normal life of the people, and most of the children in the academy are poor people, so it is understandable for them to go back to help their families do something. For a whole month, the academy became deserted, and without students, the gentlemen who taught had more time to play.

Su Ren was still drying his locusts, but this time Su Ren found a lot of helpers. The victims of the disaster in various places are ready-made laborers, and as long as they take care of the food, they hope that they can do this until the beginning of next spring. With the help of these people, the progress of the locust powder business has been accelerated a lot. Washing and washing, drying, grinding powder, hundreds of thousands of catties of locusts are rapidly turning into bags of locust powder.

Although Zhu Maichen became a lecturer under the care of Zhuang Qingzhai, he was very unpopular, not because he would not come, but because he was too good at coming. Bian Tong and Wang Dynasty are similar to him, except that Bian Tong always likes to hang out in front of a group of masters when he is fine, and Wang Dynasty likes to make some strange things to show off his existence.

The three of them have the same habits and the same style, so it's no wonder that they are called three. This name was given by Su Ren, and when Su Ren saw them tasting tea among the bigwigs, he recommended himself to be a tea boy. When the bigwigs were chatting, leaned over and said a few compliments. So, he smiled and said to Zhuang Qingzhai: "Dr. Zhuang, these three students of yours are really very capable, so they don't have to worry about not flying in the future." ”

Zhuang Qingzhai blushed, coughed heavily, and went to find the three guys with a black face.

Su Ren didn't know what the result was, but he could guess that it was definitely not very good, and his character and character determined everything about him. Even if the three of them were cautious in front of Zhuang Qingzhai, they would forget everything when they turned their heads, maybe even their teachers would be hateful.

To be honest, these three people still have some skills and knowledge, at least they are very dedicated in their own classes, and what they say is wise and famous. Therefore, Su Rencai did not drive them away.

No matter how the three scrambled to the doctors of the academy, Su Ren devoted himself to his locust powder business. After the emperor ate it for a while, it also became popular in the imperial palace. So, those royal relatives and nobles who had access to the harem asked about the source, and Wei Zifu inadvertently said a few shops in order to repay Su Ren's kindness in courting Wei Qing for his courtship.

Ten dollars per catty is not a big deal for those who are rich, even if it is eaten every day. As soon as it spread, the sales of locust powder in Chang'an gradually improved. Seeing that the locust plague had slowly passed, in order to ensure production, Su Ren asked the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to purchase locusts across the country. This seasonal insect has reached a point where demand outstrips supply.

Chen He was very interested in Su Ren's locust business, but he stayed in the academy when others were on vacation, and followed Su Ren to dry locusts and grind locusts. In order to encourage Chen He's self-motivation, Su Ren waved his hand and gave Zuo Fengyi's distribution rights to Chen He. So, this kid came more diligently, and hoped to get the right to get the right to support the wind and even Jing Zhaoyin's distribution.

Dong Zhongshu was very disgusted by Su Ren's practice of making money from locusts, and he always had a black face when he saw Su Ren. Even if he drank the locust powder sent by Su Ren in his mouth, his phlegm and shortness of breath for several years were getting better day by day, and his face was still as cold as ice. He believes that making a fortune from disasters is not the work of a gentleman. If it weren't for the hard persuasion of the Wen Party, Dong Zhongshu would have the urge to beat people.

Su Ren always smiled at Dong Zhongshu's black face, and still respectfully washed the locust powder and held it in Dong Zhongshu's hand. Dong Zhongshu said ugly words in his mouth, but there was no locust powder left in the cup.

Dong Qian was waiting at the door with the child in her arms, and when she saw Su Ren coming out, she hurriedly came over: "Don't be angry, my father has this temper, and he does the same to his brothers when he is at home!" ”

Su Ren took the son in Dong Qian's arms and said with a smile: "Who made us juniors!" As long as the old man is in good health, anything can be done! ”

Su Ren and Dong Qian's son Su Kang is Su Ren's son-in-law, and he will inherit the Su family in the future. It has been worshiped as a golden egg since birth. Although he only knows how to breastfeed, he already has a daughter-in-law, and there is more than one, all of whom have come to ask for it in person, and there is no possibility of refusal. Although Leng Jun's daughter is older, this is what was said back then. Before the grandson of the bushman got married, the husband was in a hurry to marry off his great-granddaughter. Just because Dou Ying was in the way of the prime minister's face, after knowing that he couldn't be a wife, he retreated and begged to marry Su Huier as his great-granddaughter-in-law.

In fact, Su Ren is not interested in the great-grandson of Dou Ying's family. Li Danghu's son Li Ling is Su Ren's son-in-law, or Wei Qing's future son Wei Kang. But Dou Ying took the lead, and this face can't be ignored. Fortunately, this is just the beginning, and it will be regenerated in the future. Besides, Li Ling and Wei Kang haven't seen each other, Li Danghu has just married, Wei Qing hasn't waited for Princess Pingyang to reply, and it is too late for Su Ren to have another daughter.

Since Su Ren was not angry because of this, Dong Qian was relieved. He understood that it seemed that Su Ren was making money by making so many locusts, but in fact, Su Ren also fed thousands of victims. If it weren't for Su Ren's locust industry, the thousands of victims would have to go hungry. Not only that, Su Ren has already started to build a villa near the Louguantai, and according to Su Ren's words, he will sell it to those rich people in Chang'an City to enjoy the coolness.

The project is already underway, and many more victims have been absorbed. This made Pei Songnian very happy, because of the matter of chickens and ducks, the loss of Xuan this year was the smallest, and it was precisely because of the smallest loss that all the nearby victims poured into Xuan. Pei Songnian's head was like a bucket at that time, and he hurriedly didn't even sit in the car, and trotted all the way to ask Su Ren for advice.

Pei Songnian said a lot of humble, thankful and flattering words, and he almost repented of his opposition to Su Ren's letting farmers raise chickens and ducks. Su Ren reluctantly agreed. Since they were able to mix a mouthful of food in the bowl, the victims naturally rushed over. Pei Songnian was even more ruthless, as long as someone came, he would let people send it to the academy, and he was only responsible for sending the grain allocated by the imperial court to the academy and ignored it.

Su Ren didn't want to build those villas at first, but there were more and more victims, and he always gave them a chance to live. The locust industry must have a limited number of people to feed, so what is the most manpower-hungry? Infrastructure, of course. It wasn't Su Ren's job to build roads and bridges, if he did it, not only would he not be beneficial, but if he didn't get it, the imperial historians would have to impeach him. So Su Ren remembered the villa of the later generations.

The skills of the public losers are put to good use. Su Ren believes in a sentence, some people only buy the most expensive and don't buy the best, and they can live next to the academy to get a little bit of culture. What was the small house near Taixue in demand back then, Su Ren knew. The houses in Louguan are more luxurious than there, each one is different, the dome, the flat roof, the spire, there are small courtyards and stables, and even the thatched houses are equipped with toilets.

The gold powder family is embellished with gold, and the sun shines on the blind dog's eyes. The green mountains and green waters are made of dark green glass, which is the leftover material of Su Ren's burning of colorful stones. The public transport track is very energetic, and he can faithfully restore the kind of sketch drawn by Su Ren that no one can understand, which makes the public lose the cliff dumbfounded, and he is also impressed by his nephew.

The villa did not use wood, Su Ren felt that it was not good to use wood, cutting down trees would destroy the surrounding scenery, and it was easy to catch fire. In case that kind of spire house is struck by lightning, how can I explain it to others? The tower viewing platform is close to the Black River, and there is no shortage of stones, so use stones. It was a waste that so many people would not let them open stones. So every day before dawn, Su Ren would be woken up by the sound of clanging stones.

I don't know whose advice Han Anguo listened to, took the initiative to take on the task of moving stones, and found all the students who studied the soldiers. The task is very simple, each person carries three stones of more than 500 catties from the river every day, whether it is carried or carried on his back, the method is not limited to the number of people, but the subordinates are not allowed to help, but they can do it with each other.

As a result, those gentlemen in Chang'an City shouted and lifted stones to become a scenery of the Black River. The soldiers are very popular with the gentlemen, and it is the dream of every young man to ride the horse and whip, but today their dream is how to move their stones as soon as possible, so that they don't have to close the small black house. Since the last time the kid of the Chiyang Hou family was locked up for three days because of a fight, when he was brought out, he didn't look like a human or a ghost, and he understood that the little black house was beaten and it was scary.

Zhou Jiande is tall and big, and although the 500-pound stone is heavy, it will be laborious for him. It only took one noon to complete the task, and then he stood alone on the side of the road holding the roasted chicken and watched the others go about their work.

Li Shizong is young and weak, he has no fun carrying stones, and he should be okay with stones. At noon, he squatted next to the big rock and didn't move.

Zhou Jiande laughed: "Shizong, this stone can't be seen, if it doesn't work, just say it, brother help you!" ”

Li Shizong rolled his eyes and ignored him.

On the first day, Li Shizong was imprisoned in a small black room. For three days in a row, Li Shizong was the last, and he didn't finish it.

Han Anguo came to Su Ren's side: "What does Mr. Su think of Li Shizong?" ”

"Where's Mr. Han?"

Han Anguo shook his head: "This son is weak, smart but smart, but not suitable for going into battle to kill the enemy, if it can't be completed today, I am ready to let Jing Hou lead him back, so as not to die on the battlefield in the future." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Mr. Han really thinks so?" ”

Han Anguo laughed and said, "I just want to see what method he uses!" ”

The board car is an invention of Li Shizong. It's not that no one has ever thought about using a car, because the soil by the river is soft, as long as you put the stones on the car, not only the stones can't be transported, but the car has to sink in. The wheels of the car made by Li Shizong were two feet wide, and the four wheels were four logs lying horizontally. Although he didn't know the principle of dispersion of force, he could figure out the key to the problem and make such a thing to transport stones, which shows that Li Shizong is indeed very smart.

On the fourth day, Li Shizong was the first to finish, even faster than Zhou Jiande. Watching the skinny Li Shizong pull the car past everyone, everyone almost stopped, and began to wonder why they didn't expect it?

Su Ren smiled and said to Han Anguo: "This son is talented, but as Mr. Han said, he is not a candidate to lead the troops, let him find me tomorrow!" ”
