Chapter 119

The big deal is settled.

After that, the "very small thing" put forward by Xiao Yun was ignored.

It was his request that the locusts in the plague of locusts should come as soon as possible. The more, the better. When they got them, they would be sent directly to his Xiao family without delay.

Mr. Wu Ge and Mr. Li didn't know what Xiao Yun was going to do and didn't care at all. After all, there were bigger things in their minds.

Afterwards, Xiao Yun went home with Zhiman.

Some are glad of your Majesty's choice.

This Wu Xi, Wu Ge Lao, is really different from other officials.

It almost perfectly meets Xiao Yun's requirements.

If other officials, I'm afraid it won't even happen to talk to Xiao Yun, or they are headstrong, or they treat Xiao Yun's words as children's jokes. If they can hear one, Xiao Yun burns Gao Xiang.

But Wu Xi is different.

Although he is an old man, his character and reputation are there. He is quite unpopular in the court.

Therefore, we attach great importance to Xiao Yun, who has a very special position in the future.

It can be said to be coincidence, it can be said to be lucky.

But this coincidence and luck all come from Xiao Yun's careful layout and efforts.

As soon as Xiao Yun's front foot left the Wu house, the old Wu pavilion just changed his clothes and immediately ran to the palace.

I have discussed everything with Xiao Yun with your majesty.

His Majesty would not object to the change of corn. He was even amazed at Xiao Yun's fast brain and wide view.

But his majesty hesitated about giving the merchant status.

Wu Xi knew that if he didn't take the opportunity and let the golden words come out and cover the coffin and nail the board, he would not agree as long as he gave his majesty time to think.

So directly sacrifice the biggest "magic weapon".

"Your Majesty, if we can't get the help of those merchants and exchange a large amount of corn, when and when can we transport it to the disaster area? Even if it's delivered, the victims will starve to death! Moreover, if we don't give them some benefits, these merchants will inevitably take risks. It's enough to take a card or pump some food on the way. These are life-saving food, even if you don't give them some benefits If only one bowl is missing, one life may be lost, your majesty! "

Your majesty is still hesitating.

"Your Majesty, whether it's a title or a reward, it's just a name. In fact, the imperial court doesn't have to pay anything. At most, it's just a paper. They can't do evil with things that have no real power. Besides, there are not many merchants qualified to help, maybe two or three. As long as they are given a certain title reward, they must stand up On the side of the imperial court, other merchants must be envious and jealous. It's unknown that there is a gap between them! So it seems to be good for them, but it may not be good for them. "

His Majesty was stunned and asked, "I'm afraid Xiao shengpin said this."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wu Xi quickly said yes.

In fact, this is really the way Xiao Yun taught him to persuade his majesty.

What is your majesty worried about? Xiao Yun is like a mirror in his heart!

"Well, it's understandable to use the extraordinary method when it's extraordinary."

Your majesty finally nodded.

After that, it became much easier.

Old Wu Ge is really capable!

He visited dozens of families all the way in a carriage.

No one knows what he said or talked to each other.

Anyway, on that day, the granaries near the capital began to send a large amount of white rice to the small granaries of rich and noble families, and then took away a large amount of coarse grain.

Among them are not only corn, but also some coarse grains that are rarely eaten on weekdays, as well as some fruits and vegetables that can be stored for a long time.

It looks like collecting rags. All the rags were taken away.

Then three influential merchant families in the capital immediately dispatched caravans from all over the country and began to pull the coarse grain to various disaster areas.

One of the most hardworking is the Li family in Hedong.

They even temporarily abandoned all Hedong industries and devoted all their energy to disaster relief. The daily expenses are astronomical!

It was in full swing here, and Xiao Yun finally waited for his locusts.

Several cars were packed in coarse hemp bags. When they were opened, they fell on the ground. They were dense, yellow and green. They all wanted to vomit.

Shangguan qinger grinned and asked, "young master, are you really going to eat these things?"

Xiao Yun said with a smile, "you forgot what I said when the earth moved? People, there is no high level we think. Other animals can eat fresh food, but we can't. We are more likely to digest rotten food and insects."

"Ah? People are born to eat insects?"

"What do you think humans lived on in the most primitive times? Can we beat wild animals every day? We don't have the ability to step on wolves, tigers and leopards. Being not picky about food is the main factor."

That's what I said.

But he also endured bouts of nausea and took out a pile of locusts and dried them in the shade.

Take another part, put it directly into the stone jar and stir it into meat paste.

Bright colors, originally human beings will have psychological fluctuations when they see them.

In fact, this is a kind of vigilance from genes. Almost anything with bright colors can't be eaten.

This yellow and green, and even some shiny locusts, look strange. The colorful things are generally poisonous.

How is this gene produced? No one knows.

Maybe an elder ate this thing, poisoned it, and then lived a big life. He had this "memory" in his body, and this memory has been passed on wonderfully. As long as people see something of the same color, they will be afraid.

Then, after many years of changes, gradually people have less fear of those bright colors, but they will also be "touched", which will evolve into various emotions and even "like".

It's wonderful!

And for these insects, I really can't like them. When touching them, Xiao Yun is cold in his heart.

When it was mixed into sauce, he couldn't help it any more. He ran directly to the corner and vomited violently. His face was blue.

"Young master, why don't we stop? Don't we have a way to relieve the disaster now? The state of Qin can certainly survive."

"Oh, I'd like to. I hope so too, but I can't. You only have a short time to deal with the disaster? When the disaster relief materials are delivered, they can survive? How can it be so easy? It takes at least a year for the people to survive! Spring planting and Autumn harvest, and now after the sowing time, there will be no harvest in autumn. In the coming year, it will still be a nuisance of marijuana, maybe famine It will last for two or three years. What shall we do then? The people saved will only be saved for a period of time? Or is it the grain of the state of Qin that can last for two or three years? "

Shangguan qinger opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

She didn't think so much.

Xiao Yun sighed, put the antidote he prepared into the insect sauce, and then continued to stir carefully.

He also specially put some edible color to make this jar of meat paste look less terrible.

Then he continued to stir. After the complete fusion, Xiao Yun asked people to bring some pigs.

"Why pigs?"

Shangguan qinger frowned and looked at him.

Qin Murong spread his hand and said with a bitter smile: "believe it or not, the diet of pigs is very similar to that of humans. If pigs don't die, people often have nothing to eat."

"Ah?!"

Shangguan qinger couldn't help a cold.

She really can't relate herself to pigs.

But I know what Xiao Yun said must be right, so it's a special contradiction.

Pigs are taboo.

Bugs or something, they don't get dirty.

Take a big bite, and the food is particularly comfortable, which makes people drool.

"Is it really so delicious?"

Shangguan qinger asked curiously.

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "of course it won't be very delicious! If it's a simple locust, it should be very delicious, but unfortunately it's poisonous, so how delicious can it be? The medicine smell alone will be very heavy."

"Yes, so many drugs."

Shangguan qinger tilted her lips and looked disappointed.

This made Xiao Yun understand that she was a snack!
