"No, then according to what you said, the matter of praying for rain is simply nonsense, right?”
"Why not?"
"Then what about those experts who can really beg for rain?”
"It's just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse! If he's so powerful, why are you asking him to beg for a big snowfall to show me? Even if he kowtowed, he probably wouldn't be able to beg for it!”
"I..."
Li Shimin listened to the argument between Du Ruhui and Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng's words were a little rough.
However, this was indeed the case.
However, he stared at Lin Feng who was speaking with confidence.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the issue of the self-reproaching edict.
What he wanted to know now was whether the young man in front of him had a way to control the locusts and resist the drought.
"Shopkeeper Lin, since you seem so calm and composed, do you have any way to deal with the locust plague and drought?”
While Du Ruhui was at a loss for words, Li Shimin quickly raised his question.
After hearing Li Shiming's words, Lin Feng started.
"I couldn't tell, Old Li. You're quite concerned about the people's livelihood! Why? Did he want to use his connections to become an official in the future?”
"Uh... I'm a businessman. Only when the world is at peace can we earn money, right?"
"Alright, you don't have to explain to me. I don't want to be an official anyway."
"Why? Isn't it good to be an official?"
"Sigh, I was born from a grassroots background. You still want to enter the official career? You're dreaming too much."
"Isn't there an imperial examination?"
"Haha…"
When Old Li mentioned the imperial examinations, Lin Feng chuckled, causing him to feel a wave of awkwardness in his heart.
These two words were a direct hit to the soul!
"Alright, let's talk about the locust plague.”
The most common disasters in ancient times were locust plagues and droughts.
If technology couldn't keep up, artificial rainfall was impossible.
As for digging wells for irrigation, there was a chance.
However, it was not a small project.
And locust plague.
Pesticide was not enough to kill insects. Without a few generations of research, there was no medicine that could specifically target locusts.
Therefore, the only thing left was to kill the insects.
"Regarding the drought, the project volume is too large. It can't be solved in a short time, so we won't talk about it. Let's talk about the locust problem."
Li Shiming, who originally didn't have much hope, suddenly had his eyes light up when he heard Lin Feng's words.
You really have a way?
As for Du Ruhui, who was still praying for rain, his eyes were also staring straight at Lin Feng.
If there was a way to solve the locust plague, then this young man in front of him would have made a great contribution!
"If we want to solve the locust plague, we must first understand why the locust plague appeared. Do you know about this? Have you thought about it?"
"This…"
"Uh, isn't the locust plague..."
After Li Shiming heard Lin Feng's question, he sank into contemplation.
Du Ruhui subconsciously wanted to say something like the locust god descending a disaster.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Feng.
"If you keep talking about gods and ghosts, then I won't say anything! I don't want to play the lute to a cow!"
"I, how did I become a cow?"
"That's right. A cow can still plow the land, but with your body, you can't pull the plow!”
"Pfft…"
While Lin Feng and Old Du were bickering, Li Shiming's frown grew deeper and deeper.
Because he discovered that he was actually stumped by Lin Feng's question.
They seemed to have never thought about how the locust plague came about.
Why did the locust plague suddenly erupt?
Lin Feng seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
She reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Alright, Old Li, don't be stubborn. There are many people who haven't thought about this question. The main thing is that ignorance kills people."
"What do you mean?"
"The Confucianists pay attention to the theory of Heaven and Man, and this idea has been around for a very long time. Most of the people felt that the locust plague was caused by the locust god. They did not dare to drive it away easily and could only pray to the gods. Little did they know that when the locusts finished eating the crops and moved to the next place, some people were smug and thought that their prayers had worked!”
"Moreover, most people think that locusts are poisonous and don't dare to let the poultry eat them. They are afraid that they will poison the poultry and cause losses. But in fact, if it was used to feed chickens and ducks, it could also fatten them up. Moreover, humans could be eaten too, and the taste was quite good.”
It was as though it was to reflect Lin Feng's words.
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter from the kitchen came out with plates of small dishes.
In addition to Old Li and Old Du's favorite dishes, there was also a plate of golden fried food.
When the plates were placed on the table, Li Shiming and Du Ruhui's faces turned ugly.
This... It was precisely the locusts that Lin Feng had mentioned earlier!
They truly didn't expect that after Lin Feng finished speaking, he would immediately place the food on the dining table for them.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you…Isn't this too... Uh..."
Du Ruhui looked at the locusts lying on the plate.
Just looking at it made him feel a little nauseous.
On the other hand, Old Li was much calmer.
He didn't retch like Du Ruhui.
However, just from his face, Lu Yuan could see his deep disdain.
"Sigh, you don't know how to cherish good food!”
As Lu Yuan spoke, he directly took a sip of wine. Then, he picked up a locust and put it into his mouth.
After frying, the oily and crispy locusts were chewed until they were crispy.
If this thing was placed in the supermarket and food stalls in the future, it would cost dozens of kilograms.
