Minister Ben Hongzhuang: Lord Xiangguo, I am happy!

Chapter 672

The villagers were overjoyed when they thought about it, and they all nodded, thinking that the deal was not a loss.

Now the locusts have become the biggest income of this common people's village.

One by one didn't want to burn the crops, thinking that the crops were feeding locusts.

However, the villagers still overestimated the size of the locust, which is big and can bite people.

The idea of ​​earning some money from locusts was ruined.

Su Su and Long Sui said everything they wanted to say. Seeing that no one offered ten catties of locusts for money, Su Su said kindly, "My young master lives in the inn in the county. Remember to return the locusts you catch."

When Su Su drove away in the carriage, the people in the village began to erupt.

Gather together one by one, thinking about how to catch locusts.

There was an elder in the village who had studied and passed the Juren examination. The villagers cooperated with the village head to inquire.

When the old man heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Finally, the most promising path was given.

This is what he said: The court sent people down, which shows the importance it attaches to our common people's village.There are several thousand people in the entire village, all relying on the land for their livelihood.

If the senior official of the court said to burn it, then he would burn it. He must have thought about the way forward.

As for buying locusts for silver, there is such a good thing, why not exchange locusts.

We took the locusts to exchange for silver, and at the same time followed the instructions of the high officials and burned them all.

In the final analysis, we still make a living by farming, and there will be no harvest this year, so we might as well plant something else after listening to the high officials.

We are planting wheat and rice back next year. "

When the villagers heard this, they suddenly realized.

It is said that the brains of scholars turn fast, and it is not wrong to think farther.

So the village head, as the village head, went to the yamen, looking for the high officials sent by the court.

When Nan Fengchen didn't think that this group of ignorant villagers would also figure it out, he was quite surprised.

The village head has conditions for burning the seedlings and wheat in the field.

First of all, the people in their village will not do anything, they all rely on the yamen servants in your county magistrate.

The second fire is okay, but you have to catch locusts.

The third thing is to tell them what to plant and how to prevent locusts from flooding again.

Nan Fengchen pulled a face, looked at the village head shaking his head, what he said was logical, and he was very depressed.

This is the nature of greed.

Want everything, and get nothing in the end.

"My lord, do you agree?"

"Agree? Is it possible to refuse?"

"You are working for the court, of course you have to think about our people!"

Nan Fengchen couldn't help snorting coldly, got up and said: "I will only tell you how to burn and what to plant, but I will never send anyone there. You want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, are all the arresters on duty in this government office fools? "

When the village chief was asked this question, he instantly felt immoral.

"But the court sent adults down, isn't it just to solve the disaster situation for the people in our Minmin Village?"

"Yes, but the current Holy Majesty did not say that he would do it himself."

"..."

"I only provide measures and solutions. Sorry for the rest, I can't help."

Nan Fengchen's toughness made the village chief go away in dismay. There are too many greedy people in this world, will they lose their pie in the same day?
After Su Su came back, Nan Fengchen was sitting in the front hall drinking tea.

Seeing Su Su jumping up and down, he asked teasingly, "Very happy?"

"Yes! I have done everything that should be done, and it depends on whether the villagers will be fooled."

Hearing this, Nan Fengchen nodded slightly and said, "The village head of Minmin Village came here and told me about burning wheat and rice. It must be because of the way you and Long Yan exchanged locusts for silver today that they made a decision determination."

"Looks like it will be done tonight."
