Chapter 143: Strategies for Eliminating Locusts

The magistrate Cao said generously: "As long as the money and goods are available in the county government, as long as you can solve the problem, it will be yours for use! If it is not enough, I will find a way."

"Yes, let's find a way together, as long as we can solve the problem."

I thought to myself that this would be easy, so I stood up and said, "If the adults can really do this, I can guarantee that although the young ones cannot destroy all the locusts, they can mobilize all the people in the city to catch locusts like gold."

As soon as he said this, Lord Cao and the other three were a little relieved. When I was not sure about this, the county magistrate sighed and said, "Oh, Zhan Yong, you are still young. Although these locusts are a major event in the whole country, it is impossible for everyone to work hard to catch them. We have ordered many orders every year and there are bounties, but the locusts come and go like the wind, and the crowd is as thick as clouds. Even if they want to catch them, they can't catch them."

I smiled and said, "Maybe I can't catch it, but if I receive it, I will definitely receive it."

"Collection? How to collect?" asked the three of them.

"Of course I took it with money. As long as Lord Cao ordered the collection of locusts, one pound, one penny, and one hundred pounds, one hundred pounds, one hundred pounds, one would definitely send it here." I said.

The three of them thought for a while and said, "Of course there will be people who will collect it with money like this, but if we collect so much, how can we deal with it? We can't just put it in the county government. If that happens, what will the county government become? Besides, it will be bad after a while. If it happens, it will be bad. If it doesn't work, it won't work."

I said slowly, "Old people just worry. As long as the adults order to collect, I can guarantee to deal with it. However, it is best to ask the adults to allocate some houses for me to be used as a storage place."

County Magistrate Cao thought for a while and said, "Can you really deal with it?"

I promised, "No problem at all."

"I wonder what Captain Song wants to deal with it?" Master Bai suddenly asked.

"Master Bai asked well," I smiled.

However, before I could finish speaking, Master Bai was stunned and hugged me and said, "Captain Song dare not call him this. You and I are the same age as you and I must..." I quickly realized that I was the title of Master. At this time, there was no title of Master at all, so he didn't understand why I called him Master.

My brother, you're thinking too much.

I hurriedly said, "Mr. Bai, you are polite." I didn't explain too much, but just continued, "As for how to deal with it, it's actually very simple. Just one word, eat!"

"Pu Pu" County Magistrate Cao and County Magistrate who had just drunk the water sprayed together.

"You, you..." Mr. Cao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Zhan Yong, how can that thing be eaten? I don't know whether it is poisonous or not. Moreover, even if you eat it, you have to be able to eat it." said the county magistrate.

I smiled and said, "Sir, I'll tell you, I once had a teacher who had a very exquisite cooking skills. He once taught me the cooking skills of fried locusts. I can guarantee that the taste is excellent, which is far more delicious than the famous dishes that all adults have eaten now. Moreover, I would like to tell you that although this locust is a pest, it is a very nutritious thing. It has a high protein content and is of great benefit to the human body. It not only tastes delicious, but also prolongs life."

"What white egg?" the three of them were puzzled.

"Ha, that's the meaning... that is very good for the body, helps health, and prolongs life."

"Oh, there is such a benefit? You are not allowed to deceive me."

"Sir, if I say something else, I can't guarantee it. I'm really not afraid of taking one item alone, I'm definitely sure." I said confidently.

The three of them thought about my background and nodded.

After a while, County Magistrate Cao said again: "Can you just rely on this to collect it? Those locusts are flying things and are difficult to catch."

"Sir, just relying on harvesting is just to attract everyone. It is just one of the methods, but it is also a crucial one. After all, there are many people and great power. As long as the enthusiasm of the whole county can be mobilized, the disaster can be won. I have three more ways to collect locusts, which need to be solved. As long as these three methods can be implemented, the locust plague will definitely be solved."

County Magistrate Cao was very happy and said hurriedly: "What three methods can you tell me quickly."

I smiled and said, "As long as the lord gives orders..." As soon as I made a long and concise statement, County Magistrate Cao immediately smiled and said loudly, "Everyone obeys the orders."

The county magistrate and Mr. Bai, I agreed immediately.

"This county orders to control locust plagues, so Captain Song is fully responsible. No one can disobey. If I know who dares to stop or disobey, I will be punished without giving up." Seeing everyone nodding, he said with emphasis: "I am saying ugly. As long as this matter is impossible because of anyone, I will remove my post first!"

This is enough, and everyone nodded quickly.

I nodded while thinking about how to use this matter to maximize my own interests.

I thought to myself, first of all, how can I get a few houses? Then, how can I get the money for collecting locusts from the county, and then I will deal with the locusts for free, blow them up and sell them, and make a lot of money. In addition, can I expand anything more...

Thinking of such a thing, I couldn't help but laugh happily.

Just as he was so beautiful, he suddenly heard the magistrate Cao say, "Zhan Yong, Shangguan can't offend this tonight, and he doesn't want to give gifts. Fortunately, he still agreed to eat. This meal is crucial, and you will be the chef."

Yes, even if you become a headmaster, you can't escape the life of being a cook. This is so sad.

He was reluctant, but he smiled and said, "It is the honor of humble duty to do some effort for the Lord, it should be, it should be."

The flattery made the County Magistrate Cao's face bloom. He patted me on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Well, Zhan Yong, do it well. As long as the disaster can be resolved, I will immediately fulfill your official position."

That night, above the Lanyuan Restaurant, the best courtyard, under the bright white moonlight, on the dining table, the Magistrate of Cao County, Zheng County Magistrate, and Mr. Bai accompanied the three men to have a meal.

Because it was night, everyone was not wearing official uniforms. The three men were obviously higher than the county yards. One of them was in the middle, with a national face, serious and not much talk, but extraordinary. They were the ones who ordered in the lobby during the day. The left-handed man was relatively thin, with white face and clean beard, and were calm, following his seat, while the right-handed man was like a mighty man, strong body, broad shoulders, and thick body. He was obviously a military officer or something. The lower one was the county magistrate Cao, and the three of them were obviously a higher status.

The three of them sat in the first place, with no smile on their faces and a calm expression. However, after the dishes were served, the three of them still felt relieved.

"Mr. Cao County, I didn't expect that Puzhou would have such excellent dishes, and the taste was so unique." Shangguan, who was sitting in the middle, said.

"Return to Lord Changshi, although Puzhou is located on the edge of the three paths and is remote, when you eat this item, there are not many people who can beat this place. If Lord Changshi doesn't believe it, you can taste it slowly together to know whether what the officials said is empty." The magistrate Cao said happily.

These dishes are all made of the skills of my elders. I was the first to create the cooking dish in Datang. It is definitely the only one for scorpion shit. Who else can I do?

The two officials, known as the Chief Secretary and the other two, laughed and said nothing.

Then I arranged for someone to serve a dish. When the dishes were served, Brother Guan Zhongmin asked, "It's really good to serve, is this okay?"

I was actually a little confused, but in the end I still said boldly: "Go up, don't care about anything else."

Guan Zhongmin nodded and went up with the plate.

Seeing that Brother Qiu had nothing to do next to me, I asked, "Have all the brothers in the yamen arranged it?"
