Chapter 89

To be honest, many soldiers ate it with their teeth and knew that it was a locust, especially when they poured it in, there were still many beatings, which was a bit disgusting. However, the boss at the beginning had already taken the lead in eating, and the officials below also took the lead in eating, and the soldiers were not qualified to complain.

After eating it with a rough temper, the crispy taste made them shudder, as if they had discovered a new world. They accidentally discovered the taste of locusts, which was quite good!

One is not enough... Some bold generals have already looked at the oil pan, and there seems to be some more.

"Locusts swept across Yanzhou, resulting in crop yields reduced or even lost production. Since then, people have been living in poverty. As the governor of Yanzhou, if I can't even deal with locusts, what's the face? Facing the elders of Yanzhou?" Cao Cao raised his arms, "Yanzhou is our common home, and this home should be maintained by us together!

Of course, we will not let everyone work in vain! This governor announced that from now on, the entire Yanzhou area will be hunted and killed! As long as the fresh locusts are caught and sent, one pound of fresh locusts and five pounds of dried locusts will be effective forever!"

"I wish to share the worries of the governor!" A family that served as a child care came forward. Cao Cao told their family that after the matter was completed, they could also eat meat.

As for the others, Cao Cao had already eaten locusts in person and expressed his determination. If they continued to be unreasonable, it would be unreasonable. Besides, it would not be useless to work. The locusts in the sky were more than tens of millions of kilograms. They used to be a disaster, but now they can fly money!

"Mr. Governor!" After saying that, Zhang Chunhua, the head of Wanshiwu, came out, "Wanshiwu Yanzhou Branch, is willing to contribute to the governor!"

He paused and continued: "From now on, the locusts transported to Zhencheng in various counties in Yanzhou can be checked for free through Wanshi House, and our Wanshi House can pay priority for compensation! In addition, our Wanshi House has organized a large number of ducks and geese to hunt locusts! Finally, we found that lighting a bonfire near the fields at night can attract locusts to fall into the trap. We hope that the governor can spread it to all places, especially in places where locust plagues are flooded!"

"Everything is in mind!" Cao Cao nodded, as if he had accepted this love.

"Where is, the prosperity and stability of Yanzhou is also related to the turnover of our Yanzhou branch. We will not be stingy even if we should make efforts." Zhang Chunhua replied politely. Strictly speaking, these plans were proposed by Wang Yong. Wanshiwu made profits and fame this time. This transaction was too cost-effective.

Cao Cao nodded. She knew very well that Zhang Chunhua's indifference personality would not be able to do such a thing that would contribute money and effort. Since it was done, it would definitely be profitable. But why didn't you do it before? It's just now, it's obviously something else.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Yong, who was still chatting with Cao Chun at this moment.

"Is it him? If it were him, why didn't you tell me directly?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then remembered that Wang Yong once said that he didn't want to become a scholar, he just wanted to be a chef.

"He clearly has this ability, why just want to be a chef? No matter how high the chef has, he is still just a chef. I rarely heard of the chef who is a marquis and minister. Only literati and military generals can... wait, is he just for..." Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, his face was gloomy and gloomy, and finally stopped thinking.

If you look closely, a layer of weak and undetectable rosy appeared on her pretty face.

After this day of publicity, after the vigorous publicity of merchants and Wanshiwu, almost the entire Dongjun area was known. Even other parts of Yanzhou began to know about it.

"A penny and pound of fresh locusts is just a reward! What are you waiting for? Catch them!" Soon the people took action, especially in the areas that were severely affected by locusts. They just took one pound at a time. This money is so easy to make!

"Are you stupid?" someone shouted immediately next to him, "It's like drying five ounces. Even if it becomes lighter after drying, you can earn at least two more ounces per pound. Just to spread it, how much time can it take?!"

"Oh, you see, I can't wait! Anyway, Wanshiwu will buy it directly, and you want everything fresh, so why are you still ink? If you continue, the locusts have been caught by others! Don't forget that Wanshiwu will come forward and let ducks and geese eat locusts! Not to mention, the county magistrates in each county will light bonnets outside the fields to kill locusts. If you slow down, you will earn less!" The initial people immediately refuted.

"Yes, yes, go and catch it quickly!" Even the people around them immediately reacted and took action.

For a time, the entire Yanzhou, especially Dongjun, quickly began to catch locusts, and more than ten tons were caught in a day. Through the channels of Wanshiwu, they were transported to Zhencheng one after another. The people were very enthusiastic about catching locusts, so their family all went out to catch them in rotation. Anyway, after being busy all day, they were lucky enough to sell more than 300 kilograms, so they sold 300 ounces directly.

The odd jobs that earn 300 mins a day are not as high as those in the world. It is profitable, and the enthusiasm of the people will naturally increase. Compared with Cao Cao's initial formulation, the efficiency has definitely improved a lot in terms of daily settlement.

"By the way, do we really want to drink this thing?" Xiahou Dun looked at the twice-meal locust in front of him, and his face suddenly turned dark.

"Sister clan..." Xiahou Yuan started drinking it directly. At first, he took a sip. He found that the taste was unexpectedly good. It was better after adding salt or sugar. "It actually tasted good!"

The ground of the locust powder is very fine, and it is impossible to see its original appearance at all. What is soaked out is just a brown paste.

"Remember this shame, I will definitely settle the score with you in the future!" As the chief general, Xiahou Dun, if he didn't take the lead, would the soldiers below be willing to drink, so he could only grit his teeth and pour it directly.

"Well..." Although I was just a hurry to drink it, I had tasted some taste. It was because of this that Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, "It's not difficult to drink!"

Or it tastes a bit OK, but she will never admit it.

"Then let's distribute it?" Xiahou Yuan asked for instructions.

"Distribute it!" Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth when he heard this, and finally had to agree to send it. In fact, she was still not sure whether drinking this thing would cause diarrhea. What if the soldiers' combat effectiveness was reduced due to diarrhea... It was also good. It happened to use this as an excuse to find Wang Yong's bad luck.

Unfortunately, none of the soldiers in the military camp reacted in the end. They didn't know what they were drinking, but they only knew it was a brown paste that tasted good.

Two days later, Cao Cao had already received a report from Wanshiwu. Zhang Chunhua had counted the amount in the past two days. The latest one was not known. The number of captured on the first day was as high as ten tons and it was sent to Zhencheng.

"Then, start the second stage!" Cao Cao had called Wang Yong and others over and ordered.
