Lin Fan is a person who knows how to enjoy, Datang has no concept of weekends, so he sets himself a rule of taking five days off for class and two days off, this rule will not change without special circumstances, and finally there is a chance for a new life, but he can't die of overwork.

In the past, he used to have a good sleep during his rest time, there are no modern entertainment facilities in Datang, sleeping is the greatest enjoyment and the greatest pleasure, raising good spirits, saving good sharpness, so as to fool these honest Tang people.

Recently, for some reason, Lin Fan is tired of sleeping, and always likes to run to the fields, and it is also running to the fields of other people's houses, running over with great expectations, and seeing that there are no imaginary chickens and ducks in the fields, only lost and returned.

He often went to the bulletin lists in various regions of Chang'an to take a serious look, but he went there a few times, and there was only the edict issued more than five months ago to distribute the imperial court money to redeem him for being sold into slavery due to drought, and there was no latest edict he was looking forward to, and the edict that rewarded him before was no longer what he cared about.

Five or six times of proof finally made Lin Fan recognize the situation, in fact, he believed too much in the Tang Boss, always held a glimmer of hope, always luckily thought that the edict was too slow, it needed to go through several procedures, always thought that now that the locusts have been formed and can fly a few steps, Boss Li will pay attention to it, always think that the edict will be issued in a few days, always deceive himself that he can't see the edict this time, and he will definitely be able to see it next time, and he always feels that the farmers in other surrounding townships have not stocked trained chickens and ducks because the training is not in place......

It turned out that everything was just his own wishful thinking, and Boss Li didn't care about his words at all, and he turned a blind eye to the prophetic locust plague.

The question of trust, Boss Li obviously doesn't believe that the locust plague will come, obviously only farts his own words, think about it, there is no evidence, only say that the green worm in the field is a locust, and there is no basis to say how the locust plague is, as the adjudicator of the highest power center of the Tang Dynasty, generally will not easily believe it, if there is really a locust plague, the edict will play a role, if not, then he will become the laughing stock of the world...... Boss Li must have thought so.

Think about yourself, although you are dressed in the clothes of a traveler and have the ability to see the first opportunity, but in the end, you can't do anything, and the disaster will still come as scheduled, and everything you do is just a drop in the bucket and will not play a decisive role...... It's a pity that he failed to cross into the Tang Boss, otherwise the disaster would have been minimized.

"No matter ......" stood under the eaves with his hands and looked at the stars, only a long sigh, the wheel of history is not determined by his own small role after all.

Thinking about the tragic scene not long after, Lin Fan suddenly felt that he was so uncomfortable because he was powerless......

"The locust plague is the locust plague, it's my business!" After shouting this sentence in my heart, my mood is much better, I can't influence others, just do my own thing, I still have to do my own preparations, I called the two stunned people that night, and explained the things that should be explained······

Early the next morning, the second stunned man withdrew a sum of money from Lin Fan very early, went to the grain store with four or five brothers, and began to loot grain, and these brothers were allowed to take a few days off and no longer have to go to the workshop to work.

Due to the impact of the drought at the beginning of the year, this year's grain prices have risen to the price of a bucket of rice and a horse of silk, and the off-season was so high before, but now is the time for the dignitaries to change their positions, and they are all selling the surplus grain left over from last year at this time, so as to free up the warehouse to load this year's new grain, and the grain price has dropped from a bucket of rice and a horse of silk to half a horse.

From one grain store to another, almost every grain store's grain was snatched up by the two stunned people, and the other brothers who returned with a full load of grain were very puzzled, and one of the older brothers asked the second stunned suspiciously: "Why does Brother Lin want us to buy so much grain, is there a new person in our big family, and Brother Lin has taken in a lot of beggars, is the food not enough to eat?"

The second stunned shook his head, also puzzled, "I don't know what Brother Lin is calculating, the chickens and ducks cultivated obviously eat the locusts almost the same, and the crops are much better than other people's, and the crops of every household in Anyang are growing very well, and there must be a good harvest this year, which is enough for everyone to eat until this time next year, but I still have to buy the surplus grain left over from those rich families and official families last year, do you want to make the grain moldy and smelly, I really don't understand." ”

The brother nodded and said: "It stands to reason that at this time, the Lin family also sold surplus grain to free up the warehouse to load new grain, but Brother Lin not only did not sell it, but also bought it in, and asked us to rent a warehouse to store grain...... I really don't understand Brother Lin anymore. ”

Seeing that he had arrived at the rented warehouse, the two stunned immediately jumped off the horse, "Don't talk nonsense, it's here, hurry up and unload the goods, there are still many grains in Fang City that have not been purchased." ”

The older brother sat on the horse and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, is this the rhythm of buying all the grain in the entire Chang'an 110 Fang City?"

"Break the fart, hurry down."

The brother jumped down with a smile, and with a strong hand, a bag of 100 catties of grain arrived on his shoulders······

Chang'an under the sunset is intoxicatingly beautiful, and the scene of farmers working under the sunset is a beautiful scenery, but now it is just a sad picture in Lin Fan's eyes.

I would like to tell them that this is in vain, and that when the locusts that are jumping around in the fields grow up, not to mention the rice and wheat, even the grass stalks, they will turn the land into a tomb, and then you can only watch the hard-working crops become the contents of the locusts, but you will not be able to do anything meaningful.

Of course they won't believe it, how can they believe it if Boss Li doesn't believe it, they must think that this crop is not growing well, how can it be eaten up, just kidding.

Lin Fan could only hehe, the entire Tang people thought they were joking, Boss Li was like this, the dignitaries were like this, and the common people were like this...... Hehe, then wait, wait to see a good show, see who is crying and who is laughing in the end......

Seeing Lin Fan strolling among the fields, sometimes sighing and sometimes smiling, the originally long-winded second stunned also quieted down, he knew that Brother Lin was not normal, his mood must be bad, and after his expression calmed down, the second stunned came up and asked: "Now almost the entire grain store in Chang'an has been looted by us, many merchants, officials are very excited to see us in Tun old grain, and they have taken the initiative to send the surplus grain to the door of our warehouse, we have saved a lot of effort, although they are very keen to transport the old grain to us at a low price, But I can always tell from their eyes that they are laughing at us for being stupid and storing so much old grain.

Brother Lin, I have never understood why you did this, is it worth investing so much money, Brother Lin, why are you doing this, is it really worth it, how do I feel that this is also a stupid act. ”

Lin Fan looked at the locusts jumping around in front of him, grabbed one and threw it on the ground, and watched it being trampled into mud before he raised his head and smiled: "Let them laugh now, it won't be long before you see them crying."

The second stunned man was even more puzzled, chattering and nagging again, seeing that Lin Fan had already gone away to board the carriage, he had nowhere to vent, so he had to ask the sky······
