"Hu hu hu…"
Li Er stood up with the help of Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin. He gulped down a bowl of tea and looked at Qin Feng.
"Good job, kid. You're so eloquent. Then I'll ask you another question.”
"Go ahead."
Qin Feng says smilingly.
He didn't mind answering Li Er's questions. Look, every time he answered, Li Er would feel depressed. How comfortable.
"The world is now plagued by locust plagues. They can be seen everywhere, so why is there no sign of Reliance Village?”
This was what Li Er was really worried about. If the locust plague was not eliminated, then no matter how many crops were planted, it would be useless.
"Yes, this matter is of great importance. Young Master Qin, please enlighten me. Is there no locust in Reliance Village, or is there a way to control it?”
Fang Xuanling also looked at Qin Feng with a serious expression. This matter had troubled the Imperial Court for a long time, but it was difficult to put an end to it.
Locusts were crop pests that had spread after the drought.
If the weather was good, this thing would not grow. However, once there was a drought for years, this thing would crazily spread like bamboo shoots after a rain.
A few years ago, the Great Tang had just experienced a drought, and the crops had finally begun to harvest. However, the locusts had appeared, resulting in no harvest.
This was an important reason for the current famine.
Locust plagues, droughts, and floods could be collectively referred to as the three common disasters. They were the most harmful to the people.
However, this kind of disaster could not be eliminated. Every time it encountered a disaster, the current dynasty would have a headache.
If there was really a way to resolve the locust plague, it would be a great contribution to the future generations!
"It's not that there are no locusts in Reliance Village, but that there are certain methods that can prevent locusts from attacking.”
Qin Feng smiled. Li Er and Fang Xuanling immediately stood up excitedly, their breathing hastened.
"Young Master Qin, please speak clearly!"
"Alright…"
Qin Feng was just about to tell him the method when anxious footsteps sounded from the side.
"Young Master, something bad has happened. Many officials have appeared outside, saying that they are going to search for them in Reliance Village!”
Lao Gen came over in a panic. Qin Feng frowned and asked,
"But why did Daoming come here to search for him?”
"They said that the cattle in the county town near Chang 'an had gone missing, and all the villages had to be searched.”
Old Gen's expression became even worse as he said this. His eyes rolled around in panic.
He knew that his young master had brought back hundreds of cows last night.
Gosh, he had never seen so many cows in his life.
The corner of Qin Feng's mouth twitched. The pretty lady's guess was right. Those few idiots really stole other people's cattle and sent them here?
If they were really searched by the government, it would be difficult to explain and they would have to take the blame for the few idiots.
No, he had to stop them from entering.
Qin Feng's eyes turned and he looked at Li Er beside him. He seemed to be minding his own business and said,
"Cattle are missing near Chang 'an? Why did he come to Reliance Village? Do you have any evidence?"
"Is the county government so unreasonable? Could it be that no one cared about this kind of bullying of the common people? What were the people in the court doing?”
Hearing this, Li Eryi's face instantly froze. Why did he feel that Qin Feng was scolding him?
"Young Master, they are officials. Why would they talk so much with you? They said that the time limit is 15 minutes.”
Lao Gen's mouth was trembling.
"Forced entry? How dare you!"
Qin Feng angrily slammed the table and stood up. His face seemed to be extremely angry. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said,
"You barged into the village without reason and destroyed people's homes without evidence.”
"I really didn't expect the people from the yamen to be so unreasonable. What's the difference between this and bandits? Could it be that the people from the court are all…"
"Old Cheng!"
Li Er didn't wait for Qin Feng to finish and shouted,
"You, go to the village gate and ask what's going on.”
"Yes!"
Cheng Yaojin accepted the order and left. He naturally knew that Li Er wanted him to chase away those officials and not disturb Reliance Village.
After all, in their eyes, the government was indeed unreasonable.
Reliance Village was located in a remote area. Recently, the village had to climb over the mountain. How could they steal cattle?
Moreover, was Qin Feng such a person? Given the village's capabilities, did they really need to do this?
Qin Feng seemed to be extremely surprised. He looked at Li Er and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for your help, Master. However, that's the government. Although you're a wealthy businessman, will you…"
"Young Master Qin, don't worry. Although my old master is a businessman, he has a wide network of connections and coincidentally has some interactions with the Lanshan County Magistrate.”
Fang Xuanling quickly said with a smile,
"With a word from the old master, I guarantee that the county government will not dare to disturb the peaceful life of Reliance Village again!”
"Oh?"
The surprise on Qin Feng's face grew thicker as he looked at Li Er and said,"
"You really won't bring trouble to Master?”
"Hmph, those people still don't dare to find trouble with me!”
Li Er was quite angry at this moment. How could he not be angry when the emperor had such a bandit act under his feet and encountered it?
"I admire you, I admire you. It seems that the old master's methods are indeed impressive.”
It was rare for Qin Feng to praise Li Er, but he was smiling in his heart. This idiot probably didn't know what was going on!
When Li Er heard this, he was also proud. If there was a chance to show off, he would not let it go.
"Now, does Young Master Qin know of my abilities?”
"You're indeed impressive. Speaking of which, we've known each other for so long, but you still don't know Old Master's name.”
Qin Feng repeatedly praised. These words made Li Er feel very happy. It turned out that the feeling of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was so satisfying!!!
At the thought of this, this fellow became even more smug. He coughed dryly and said,
"It's fine if it's just a name. My surname is Li, so it's enough to call me Old Master Li.”
"He actually has the same surname as the current imperial family. Old Master Li is indeed an extraordinary person.”
Qin Feng smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Er. The latter felt as if he was about to take off from the stool and smiled smugly.
"But then again, the people in the court today are really stupid, like blockheads that can't be carved!”
Qin Feng's next sentence caused Li Erxiao's face to freeze. The former seemed to have noticed something amiss and said,
"I misspoke, Master Li. It's only because you and I are good friends that I dare to speak nonsense.”
"You must keep this a secret. Otherwise, your family will be in danger.”
"Ahem…"
Fang Xuanling coughed violently to hide his embarrassment and uncontrollable laughter. Why did he feel that this conversation was so subtle?
Li Er's hands were trembling slightly. He took a sip of tea and suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Qin Feng and said in a deep voice,
"Tell me what's on your mind. Why do you think this court member is stupid?!!”
