Chapter 272 Locust champion!
Perhaps he was frightened by Yang Shaofeng's shaking butcher knife, or perhaps because he received the blood sacrifice from corrupt people, the plague god left Juzhou unknowingly.
Anyway, the epidemic has not continued to spread, and as Zhu Laosi and the court officials dispatched more and more doctors and supplies, the epidemic has gradually eased until it disappeared.
As for Zhucheng and Shouguang counties, because Yang Shaofeng was the first to rectify Juzhou, the magistrates of the two counties followed suit, closed the cities and concentrated the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and in the end, there was no major chaos.
After the epidemic in Jucheng was completely subsided, Zhu Laosi and the Ming Dynasty also saw the value of the article Yang Shaofeng published in the newspaper.
Be prepared without any trouble.
If it weren't for the four warehouses in Juzhou City and the large amount of food in it, it would probably be impossible for the entire Juzhou City to be completely blocked. Even if it was blocked, it would probably not last the day when the epidemic completely disappeared.
If Juzhou had stored a large number of masks and common medicinal materials such as Daqinggen and Huanglian early, it was estimated that the plague would not have developed to an unstoppable level from the beginning.
Think further, if the local prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty had various plans for responding to the epidemic and natural disasters, would it be very quick to deal with it? Can the losses of the people be reduced to a minimum?
If the people suffer less losses, does that mean that the Ming Dynasty will suffer much smaller losses?
In order to make the treasury flow, Xia Yuanji almost endured the pain of blood in his heart and found the leaders of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War, and jointly submitted a memorial to Zhu Laosi, saying that the disaster preparation plan should be promoted as soon as possible and that local officials should learn and implement it.
Of course, Zhu Laosi, who agreed to this memorial with a big stroke, is not very concerned about it now. Anyway, so many ministers in the court have studied and discussed it, so there is no need for him as an emperor to do it himself.
Compared with this, Zhu Laosi was more concerned about Yang Shaofeng, a bastard.
Should we play 50 big boards or 80 big boards?
...
Yang Shaofeng, who had just taken the golden sore medicine, lay on the bed, his tone full of irritation: "Don't you like fighting crickets? Why did you become fighting grasshoppers?"
"Grasshopper?" Zhu Zhanji looked back and forth at the locusts in his hands several times, but he could not connect them with them: The place where you were beaten is your butt, not your brain, why did you become stupid?
Also, this is a locust, this thing is different from a grasshopper. Now there are locusts appearing in Jimo. Do you know what this means?"
When he heard the locust, Yang Shaofeng didn't care about the injury on his butt. He felt that some saliva was secreting in his mouth: "I know, it means there is something delicious."
"Um?"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng with a confused look on his face: "It's delicious? Do you have any misunderstandings about the locust plague?"
Yang Shaofeng sneered and said, "How is it possible? It is true that this thing is not enough to eat, locust plague? I'm afraid that it's not your misunderstanding of the two words "foodie?"
"Foodie? Can you eat?" Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "No, this new word that comes out of your mouth must not mean it. Is it a foodie? That is to say, someone can eat it especially?"
"Correct!" Yang Shaofeng snapped his fingers, forced the pain on his butt and sat up, pointing at the locust in Zhu Zhanji's hand and said, "Do you know how delicious this thing is? Do you know the benefits of eating this thing?"
Seeing Zhu Zhanji shake his head, Yang Shaofeng continued, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, bring someone to catch locusts, come back and I will fry it, let's have two drinks."
"I think you're being hurt!" As soon as Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, Zhu Laosi's voice came from outside the door: "Before the injury has been cured, I just want to eat fried locusts? Besides, do you know how many locusts are outside?"
After Zhu Laosi said this, Yang Shaofeng immediately reacted: "Locust plague?"
Zhu Laosi nodded, so he found a chair and sat down on his own, took the teapot from Wuxin's hand and took a sip of it, then sighed: "What a disaster!
I don’t know where the emperor I did something wrong, so that natural disasters have continued for years, such as floods, droughts, and locust plagues, one after another, which has caused suffering to the people of the Ming Dynasty!”
Yang Shaofeng suddenly became alert and believed that Zhu Laosi would speak in such a tone of complaining. It would be better to believe that someone would be fair, just and open!
Seeing that Yang Shaofeng was not hooked, Zhu Laosi changed his face and cursed hatefully: "I think you are not a good person, just a bastard!
If you go to Japan, the blood flows into a river. If you come to Shandong, Tang Sai'er rebelled in Shandong. If you go to Juzhou, there will be an epidemic in Juzhou. Now you just return to Jimo, and there will be locusts. There will be six top prizes. I think you are the top prize in locusts!"
After Zhu Laosi said this, Yang Shaofeng suddenly became annoyed: "I recognize the matter in Japan, but the rest has nothing to do with grandson, right?
Moreover, it was because of Tang Sai'er's rebellion that his grandson came to Shandong, and because of the epidemic in Juzhou, his grandson's trip to Juzhou, why did he blame me for coming to the head?"
"Where is the locust?" Zhu Laosi stared at Yang Shaofeng with kindness and said, "Did the locust appear after you came to Jimo?"
Looking at Zhu Laosi, who was full of threatening faces and Zhu Zhanji, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to speak loudly, Yang Shaofeng, who was angry, couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Maybe God thinks that you beat me too hard, so he sent a locust!"
"I think you're just beaten up!"
Zhu Laosi was also annoyed that why there were such bastards in this world? I remember to eat but not beat them, and I never correct them after repeated instruction. It was simply hateful!
After being threatened by Zhu Laosi, Yang Shaofeng finally did not dare to continue to confront him, let alone involve God talking about the matter. He just frowned and said, "This thing has always been nothing to eat, how could it be a disaster?"
Looking through history, it seems that there are only words such as "covering the sky", "covering the sun", "never stopping for ten days", and "eating all the crops", but you can rarely see the records of "catching locusts for food".
The problem is that this thing is crispy after being fried and has a high nutritional value. When the rabbits from the flower farmer heard that there were locusts, they wanted to drive to catch them and eat them. Why did they become so awesome in ancient times?
Looking at Yang Shaofeng's confused look, Zhu Laosi couldn't help but snorted: "Why don't you eat meat minced?"
Will locusts stay in one place and wait for you to catch them? After eating the crops and plants, they fly to another place. How can they wait for you to catch them?
Besides, what if you can catch locusts? After all, the crops are destroyed and they can only grow again in the next year. How can those locusts that have eaten all the crops and plants have enough food for the people?”
Yang Shaofeng blinked and asked, "Then beg the gods to worship Buddha? I beg the locust gods to calm down their anger? If this is the case, then Nuwa should not repair the sky, and Dayu should not control the water. Why just ask the water gods to collect their supernatural powers and wouldn't it be easier to save time?"
Zhu Laosi's expression froze. His hand that had just stroked his beard almost pulled down: "What do you think you should do? Let the people catch locusts to eat?"
"Yes," Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "The locusts are boiled in water and then dried and ground into powder. Eating them can cure night blindness. Sun Simiao recorded in "Qianjin Fang" that carrots and animal livers can cure night blindness. In fact, this locust powder can also work, and it is more nutritious than those things."
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Zhu Laosi couldn't help but have some doubts: "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
Before Yang Shaofeng could reply, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Grandpa Emperor, don't be deceived by him! Count it, how many times have he deceived his grandson since the thirteenth year of the imperial examination? How many times have he deceived you?
However, although this guy is not a good thing, he is still quite reliable in his work. He especially likes to catch and look for it. He said that locusts can cure night blindness, which is not bad."
Yang Shaofeng chuckled and said, "This time I'm not a cheat! This thing is really delicious if fried, and it can really cure night blindness if ground into powder!"
With his eyes rolling, Yang Shaofeng continued, "Otherwise, you ask Andongwei, Qingzhou Left Guard, Yanzhou Right Guard and Jimo to catch locusts. The grandson bought it at a price of one cent per ten kilograms, and how much you charge!"
Zhu Laosi instinctively felt something was wrong Yang Shaofeng, a bastard, could not withdraw money. As long as he withdraws money, he would definitely plan to cheat people!
Zhu Laosi, who had been scared of being cheated, just snorted, "Five cents! Ten kilograms of live locusts cost five cents,"
"That won't work!"
Yang Shaofeng immediately shouted: "How heavy is the cooked and dried locusts? How heavy is the living locusts? Can that be the same thing? And it's still five cents. Are you asking your grandson to lose money?"
Zhu Laosi also reacted immediately, but he still did not plan to let Yang Shaofeng go: "Or it would be just one penny per pound?"
Yang Shaofeng frowned and asked, "Is it dried or is it alive?"
"Dried," said Zhu Laosi: "The dried ones cost only one pound per pound, and the living ones cost only three pounds. This should be almost done."
Yang Shaofeng thought about it and agreed: "The deal is completed! You are the emperor, and your teeth can be used as gold, so you must not regret it!"
After thinking about the purchase price of Yang Shaofeng, which was originally proposed by Yang Shaofeng, which cost ten kilograms per cent, and then thinking about the purchase price of one ten times that had increased by one ten kilogram, Zhu Laosi was immediately embarrassed: "I have a golden word, how could I regret it!"
Yang Shaofeng suddenly got together. Although he was grinning in pain, he still laughed loudly and shouted outside the door: "Dog! Come and have someone catch locusts and tell the young lady to prepare the treasure money, our family is going to make a fortune!"
Yang Shaofeng, who was overjoyed, didn't care that Zhu Laosi was right in front of him, rushed out of the bed, and then said to Zhu Zhanji: "Let's go back and invite you to a locust banquet. This time your business is 10% of your share!"
