It is estimated that no one can be so impartial.
Especially those who had harvested food before and now have food to eat.
Human nature is selfish.
Lu Lin said with disgust: "I finally understand why you are still a small official the size of a sesame mung bean at such an age. You are so stupid."
"It's a good thing that the imperial court didn't reuse your wine bag and rice bag, otherwise Daming would be finished."
Yang Rong: ...
As a member of the cabinet, Yang Rong, one of the three Yangs, was sprayed on the face by Lu Lin innocently, and became the bag of wine and food in his mouth, his face was hot.
This brat has always looked down on people. When he finds out that Yang Rong is an important minister in the cabinet, he doesn't know what expression he will have.
Lu Lin ignored him and continued, "Have you ever heard a saying that money can turn ghosts around?"
"Naturally, the common people are unwilling to give up their own livelihood to take the risk of catching locusts, but what if catching locusts can make a lot of money? It's even more than what they earn from farming and working as coolies. You can see that they are not more diligent than one."
"Just these locusts, they can catch them and kill them."
Yang Rong suddenly realized, what a great idea.
Wouldn't it be enough to let the court spend money to hire people to hunt and kill locusts?
After catching them, they will be exchanged for money at Ying Tian Mansion, how much is a hundred.
good idea.
"But it's the imperial court that has been hollowed out like this. Jingnan has just ended, and it has experienced a severe drought. The imperial court has no money. I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it."
Yang Rong started to feel embarrassed again.
There really isn't much money left in the treasury.
Lu Lin wished he could shoot him dead, why is he so stupid?
"When did I say that the court would spend money to buy it? Locusts have their own commercial value. They can be eaten and used as medicine. Not only do they not cost the court a penny, but they may even make a small fortune."
"Eat?" Yang Rong's face turned pale with fright: "You, are you kidding me?"
Thinking of the ugly appearance of the locust, which was about to be eaten in his mouth, Yang Rong's stomach was overwhelmed.
Almost spat out.
"Who are you kidding?" Lu Lin said, and asked the servant to bring out the locusts he had fried before: "Come, taste it, it's delicious."
In China, there are no flooded species, only species that are eaten to extinction.
If it can really flood, there is only one reason, and that is not tasty.
Yang Rong glanced at the plate. The locusts, which were deep-fried to a golden color, were still recognizable, even rejecting them by the strands of their hair.
Shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, no."
How could Lu Lin let him go, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's really delicious, you'll know after trying one."
"I won't eat, I won't eat." While screaming, she was about to run away.
But Lu Lin had quick eyes and quick hands, and saw the right moment, and stuffed it into his mouth while he was talking.
Yang Rong felt a sweetness in his mouth, his pupils shrank instantly, his facial features were twisted together, it was a living mask of pain, and he was about to spit it out with his eyes closed.
In the end, Lu Lin covered his mouth: "Don't spit, chew it, you will never regret it."
Yang Rong was about to cry, and he resisted with his hands and feet.
But soon I felt something was wrong, what's the matter with the taste buds, it smells so good.
He stopped struggling, stared at Lu Lin with small blinking eyes, and chewed.
Suddenly there was a crispy feeling in the mouth, and the mouth was filled with sweet juice, which was a hundred times more delicious than the delicacies of the palace banquet.
His mouth couldn't help chewing, and he didn't stop. After chewing dozens of times, he didn't want to swallow until his mouth was almost empty.
"I ate locusts?"
Lu Lin nodded: "Yes."
"Are locusts so delicious?" Yang Rong still doesn't believe it, and his three views have been completely refreshed.
There was no need for Lu Lin to say hello. He grabbed the fried locusts on the plate with both hands and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Mmm... delicious, so delicious..."
Saliva flowed out.
"How did you make it? Why is it so delicious? This is the best food I've ever eaten in my life." Yang Rong couldn't stop praising and stuffing it.
Lu Lin was stunned.
Has this old man not eaten for three years?This is too exaggerated.
"Is there any more?" Yang Rong stuffed a plate of locusts into his mouth and chased after Lu Lin.
Lu Lindu Nima was stunned: "Yes, yes, in the kitchen, take it yourself."
Yang Rong was not polite to him either, he went to the kitchen to find a bag, put several plates of locusts in it, pinned it to his waist, and ran away.
Lu Lin: ...
Nima.
No wonder he can be friends with his cheap father, who has never seen the world.
Chapter 64 From Heaven
Yang Rong packed a whole bag of fried locusts and rushed into the palace.
When Zhu Di and others saw a bag of locusts with golden yellow and black tinge, their hairs stood on end.
Gudong!
The sound of swallowing saliva.
"Yang Aiqing, for the sake of the people of Ming Dynasty, I will make it difficult for you."
Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder, both relieved and sympathetic.
