Chapter 30(1/2)
The people were shocked by this series of operations.
Judging from this attitude, this is a way to take Qingfengguan into full swing.
Hu Guang directed the officers to move the wooden boxes from the ox cart to the front of the county government gate and opened them one by one.
Yao Yi ordered people to place these objects in the open space in front.
The onlookers exclaimed a burst of praise.
There were many discussions.
“So much gold, silver and jewelry.
It's really an eye-opener."
"Hey, why do I look at that thing? Isn't that silver bottle I worshipped to Qingfeng Temple?"
"Yes, that coral is my boss's thing."
"Just looking at this silver, it must be several thousand taels."
For a moment, everyone's discussions were coming one after another.
Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Yao Yi spoke.
He climbed up to the platform again, pointed to the property on the ground and said, "These are all found by the official from Qingfeng Temple. You have been deceived by this evil Taoist. The things you worshiped to the gods have become his personal property."
"fraud."
"fraud."
"Big liar."
The people have no education, and they will only be convinced by placing the evidence in front of them.
These belongings are naturally the best proof.
When the people's shouts became slightly weaker, Yao Yi waved his hand and stopped everyone's discussion.
He said loudly: "Dear villagers, you have also seen it. I have eaten locusts for at least an hour and am still standing here intact.
Now, I have some fried locusts here. Do you want to have a bowl of wine with me?"
When the time was ripe, Shen Buyi immediately winked at Niu Shu.
Niu Speed walked forward with great strides, "I do."
Who is this person?
The people watching, most of the situation in Qiu'an County naturally do not recognize Niu Su.
"He, I know him, I met him yesterday, and was a victim from Dongquan County."
Among the crowd, the person who met with him yesterday recognized Niu Su.
Seeing Niu Su, Master Qingfeng seemed to realize something. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he was one step late. Zhou Wu pointed lightly in his mute hole last year.
Immediately, the boy could no longer make any sound.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Gang also stood up.
Seeing someone taking the lead, the people immediately became much more enthusiastic. Soon, more than a dozen people came to receive locusts and wine.
"It smells so good." "Yes, fried locusts are so delicious!"
Hearing their discussions, the onlookers couldn't help but come forward to pick up the locusts to taste.
For a moment, in front of the huge county government office, a tasting ceremony was directly formed.
"tasty."
“Good wine.”
"It smells good."
Seeing that the people praised him endlessly, Yao Yi shouted again: "Everyone, do you still remember what I said yesterday?"
"For one hundred locusts, change to one or two taels of sesame oil, and for two hundred locusts, change to half a pound of rice.
If you catch three hundred locusts, you will enjoy a pot of wine in addition to giving sesame oil and rice.”
At this time, the people were in high spirits and shouted one by one.
"well."
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
A mobilization meeting for locust control ended perfectly.
Yao Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The hanging heart can finally be let go.

Early the next morning, Dongquan County was full of notices, and anyone who caught a hundred locusts could receive a bounty of ten cents.
For the people, you can get a considerable reward by catching hundreds of locusts at will.
However, such a good thing was not answered until noon.
Not only Zhang Zijing was stunned, but Guo Lin couldn't sit still.
Although this method is unique, it has no effect when I am looking forward to.
Zhang Zijing also felt that his back began to sweat. Before he came, he patted his chest confidently.
But why can't these unruly people get in?
After all, Miao Di was a famous family. He saw the clues from the side and found an excuse to go back to his room. He asked his servant Ding Le to find a few pieces of coarse cloth clothes. The master and servant changed into it and quietly left the county government office through the back door.
"Young Master, where are we going?"
Miao Di sighed with a serious expression, "I can see that this young master Zhang is also a Zhao Kuo-like character."
Who is Zhao Kuo?
Ding Le looked confused.
Following the street, I walked to the city gate, surrounded by many people in front of the reward notice.
Point to the notice.
"Locusts cannot be killed, and if they are killed, they will be punished by God."
An old man with a gray beard said excitedly, his beard trembling.
Another person continued, "Yes, from ancient times to the present, the method of sacrifice has been implemented, and I have never heard of being hunted and killed."
"Hey, what's the point of hunting? You have to fry it in the oil pan. It's a sin, a sin."
After hearing this discussion, Miao Di probably understood in his heart that if the inner demons are not eliminated, it is unlikely that the treatment of locusts will be made.
"Young Master, I want me to tell you, let's just go back to Chang'an. Anyway, he is Zhang Zijing, and it is his responsibility to treat the locust plague if he can, but he cannot cure the locust plague."
When Miao Di heard this, his face changed slightly.
"Ding Le, what you think is too simple.
Think about it, why did the Emperor send me and Yao Yi out? There is a lot of mystery here. I am not representing myself, but my father."
Ding Le nodded, "Young Master, we are only three hundred miles away from Qiu'an County. Why don't you go to Qiu'an County to see what's going on with Yao Yi?"
A word woke up the dreamer. Miao Di turned his face and looked at Ding Le very seriously.
"Young Master, I, did I say it wrong?"
Ding Le was a little overwhelmed, like a child who made a mistake.
"No," Miao Di reached out and patted Ding Le on the shoulder, "You said very well. If you go to Qiu'an County here, if you whip it quickly, it will be in a few hours."
He paused and continued, "Ding Le, I am the deputy imperial envoy. If you leave rashly and it is too noticeable, you are willing to go for me."
Ding Le hesitated for a while and agreed.
