Cui Geng rolled his eyes and sneered: "What a sharp mouth!" As soon as Fan joined the army and said this, I, Cui Erlang, became a sinner who snatched food from the mouths of the victims, which is simply a big joke in the world. ”

Fan Guanglie became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "Cui Changshi, you fought with the people for food for personal gain, and you starved all over the place. This is to join the army, and you will join you, and you will wait for Your Majesty to surrender! ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Fan joining the army." Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who told the official that he was going to feed the chickens with grain?" ”

"So what do you want to use? It's not going to be catching bugs and feeding chickens, is it? How can there be so many bugs for you to catch? ”

"Bugs? Although it is not in the middle and not far away, the official uses ...... Earthworm. ”

"What, earthworms? Ha ha! Fan Guanglie smiled: "How is that possible? Could it be that you, Cui Changshi, are going to send people to catch earthworms everywhere? ”

Cui Gengdao: "Of course it's not about catching earthworms, but ...... Raise earthworms. ”

To deal with the locust plague, there are many ways in later generations, such as spraying pesticides, such as observing the movement of locusts at any time and preparing to cull them...... Wait a minute.

But in ancient times, there were very few methods available. Eating locusts with chickens is indeed nothing more than a means of talking about nothing.

The most fundamental way is to prepare enough food to survive this hurdle.

Of course, buying food is the first choice, but the funds allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief must be limited, and it is impossible for Cui Geng to do things out of his own pocket, even if the Cui family takes advantage of the money, they will also help the victims of the disaster in the counties of Dingzhou! And with the reputation of being good at helping the victims, it is easy to be grabbed by people with pigtails and big hats. Moreover, the amount of grain produced in this year is numerous, and the high freight costs cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

The fundamental solution is to "transform" food out of thin air.

The dung of animals such as pigs, sheep, and rabbits, as well as straw and straw, cannot be food for humans, but earthworms feed exclusively on these things.

The earthworms that grow up are then eaten by the chicks. The chicks grow up and can both lay eggs and eat meat.

This is equivalent to exchanging dung for meat, in other words, it is equivalent to increasing the food supply out of thin air.

Of course, there is no need to explain this truth to Sun Yangao clearly, as long as he can persuade the Boling Cui clan to participate and support himself.

The original five competitions, even the outwitted Turkic envoys, and the invention of the technology of hatching chicks, all continued to strengthen Cui Geng's prestige in the Boling Cui clan.

Therefore, after Cui Geng said his idea a few days ago, it didn't take much effort at all, and Cui Ru allocated thousands of acres of land from his ancestral property to Cui Geng to breed earthworms.

This is just the public land of the Boling Cui family, and Cui Ru allocated 500 acres from his private land to Cui Geng, which can be regarded as a joint stock of the two parties.

Of course, his small actions could not hide from the people in the Cui family, and later the children of the Boling Cui family continued to come to Cui Geng, and finally Cui Geng's earthworm chicken farm reached 3,000 acres.

Raising earthworms mainly requires a lot of manpower, and Cui Geng was worried that the Boling Cui clan would not be able to transfer enough manpower, but now he has collected this group of thieves for his own use, and the problem of manpower has been greatly solved.

When the time comes, when these chicks lay their first eggs, everything will be stable.

Including the upcoming locust plague, but also the hearts of the people in these five states.

……

……

Dingzhou City, Thorn History Mansion.

After returning from Huangcheng Village, Sun Yangao was not in high spirits for a whole day, as if he was hiding something on his mind.

After a while, he frowned slightly and asked, "Fan joins the army, do you say that Cui Geng's plan to raise earthworms and feed chickens is unreliable?" ”

Fan Guanglie was cleaned up by Cui Geng a few times, and now he doesn't dare to say anything. He thought for a moment and said, "This subordinate can't say it well." However, let it have a thousand clever plans, we have certain rules. ”

"What rules?"

"Get rid of Cui Geng! In next year's locust plague, there must be no mistakes! ”

"What bad idea do you want to give this officer?" Sun Yangao became anxious when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Your Majesty's holy decree is clearly written, it is not good to remove locusts, and you want the head of this official!" In the matter of eliminating locusts, this official will definitely not allow any mistakes! ”

In other words, in the position of eliminating locusts, Sun Yangao will never allow Fan Guanglie to pull Cui Geng's hind legs.

"Don't worry, Xia Guan will definitely not hurt you!"

Fan Guanglie said, then stretched out his finger and nodded in an inexplicable direction, and said in a low voice: "My lord, as soon as the lower official received the order from above, it is scheduled to start next year, taking advantage of the locust plague. Hehe, Lord Thorn, you just wait to be the founding father! ”

"From... Incident? So fast? ”

Sun Yangao was frightened on the spot, and said in a trembling voice: "Ming...... Next year? With the power of these five states alone, can that be done? ”

"It's not just these five states, but also ......" Fan Guanglie whispered a few words in Sun Yangao's ear, and his voice was very low.

After Sun Yangao finished listening, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "It doesn't sound risky, but Cui Erlang ......"

"That's why we have to get rid of him, so that he doesn't get in the way!" Fan Guanglie spat viciously.

Since Sun Yangao got on Fan Guanglie's thief ship, he knew that it was really difficult for him to get off the ship again, and then asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's still the same as last time, borrowing a knife to kill! I look at this time, how can he Cui Erlang clear his wrongs! ”

……

……

Now that the matter of the earthworm chicken farm has gradually begun to get on the track, Cui Geng naturally can't always stay in Huangcheng Village, after all, his main ministry in Dingzhou is still the governor of Dingzhou.

So he stayed in Huangcheng Village for a few more days, and after explaining the matter, he took Song Genhai and others to set off again to rush back to Dingzhou City and take office.

With all the previous twists and turns, Sun Yangao, Fan Guanglie and others naturally couldn't get in the way anymore, but it was also smooth.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day is a day of rest, Cui Geng was sitting at home, and suddenly Song Genhai led a man in a green coat and a small hat to walk in.

As soon as the man saw Cui Geng, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Cui Changshi, my master was arrested by the government, can you ignore it!" ”

Cui Geng didn't know what to do, raised his hand to signal him to get up, and asked, "You have no head or tail, stand up and tell me in detail, who is your master?" ”

"My master is He Mingyuan He shopkeeper, and the small one is his He shopkeeper's side, He Gui."

He Mingyuan?

The local tyrants in Jizhou and Dingzhou who contract post stations around the country!

This is the first local tyrant squire in Dingzhou City to move closer to him.

Cui Geng secretly pondered, he had just calmed down the matter of Sun Yanggao's nephew forcibly buying a strong pavilion for He Mingyuan a few days ago, and it hadn't been long since the flag died down, why is there a moth now?

He asked, "What's wrong with Shopkeeper?" Elaborate! ”

"Alas, my master is really sitting at home behind closed doors, and woe comes from heaven...... Back to Cui Changshi, here's how it happened......"

Well, listening to He Gui say this, Nima's is about Sun Yangao!

He Mingyuan has a concubine named Qiuhong, who is beautiful and beautiful, and is very favored. However, just the day before yesterday, Qiu Hong disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, He Dafa, a servant of the He family, reported to the Dingzhou Assassin Shi Yamen. He claimed that he had heard Qiuhong say that He Mingyuan had discussed with the Turkic envoy to lead the Turkic army into Dingzhou. The property obtained was divided equally between He Mingyuan and the Turks. Therefore, He Dafa revealed to the government that he was afraid that Qiu Hong's death was caused by He Mingyuan's murder.

As soon as he received the report, it was also a matter of national affairs such as collaborating with foreign countries, and Sun Yangao naturally couldn't ignore it! immediately ordered someone to arrest He Mingyuan.

Well, He Mingyuan, who had just relied on Cui Geng to escape Sun Yangao's catastrophe, fell into Sun Yangao's hands again. This time, the crime is even greater, it is a foreign country, and it harms Da Zhou!

After He Gui finished speaking, he cried and shouted with a sad face: "Cui Changshi, think about it, such a big case is all based on He Dafa's mouth, reversing right and wrong, my master is wronged!" ”

Cui Geng listened to it and sneered: "This Sun Yangao, it's really your mother who doesn't stop, it is estimated that Fan Guanglie's old dog is making trouble behind his back!" ”

He Gui kowtowed and begged: "Cui Changshi, my master has been wronged, and I hope that Lord Changshi can save my master!" ”

Cui Geng sighed and said, "You are loyal, you can rest assured, He Mingyuan is my person, how can this official not save him if he dies?" Sun Yangao knew that He Mingyuan was my person through the incident of the post house last time, and he was so blatantly framed and framed, obviously this is to slap me Cui someone's face! Just rush this, I have to save it even more, otherwise it will be spread out, in the future, on the boundary of Dingzhou, who will be willing to serve this long history? ”

He Gui was slightly relieved when he heard Cui Geng say this, and asked, "Then how can I save my master?" ”

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "You come here with your ears, let's be like this, so ......."

"Huh?"

When He Gui heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hesitated: "This ...... Can this be done? ”

"It's called putting oneself to death and then being born! Sun Yangao is the assassin of Dingzhou, and he is the right person to handle this case. If you want to turn the tables for your master, how can you do it without taking risks? ”

He Gui was still a little afraid, and said in a low voice: "But this is too risky!"

Seeing that He Gui was still questioning, Cui Geng stopped talking, and Gu Pinming no longer paid attention to him.

He Gui looked at Cui Geng embarrassedly, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, just listen to Lord Changshi!" The small ones will be arranged, and everything will be left to Cui Changshi. ”

As soon as He Gui left, Cui Geng instructed Song Genhai again: "Go, gather all our people, and go with this official to assassinate the dignitaries of the Shifu!" ”

Song Genhai was very cautious and reminded: "My lord, this Sun Yangao is the assassin of a state, and you are his adjutant officer." If you ask for someone so hard, it's not in accordance with the rules! ”

"Rules?" Cui Geng said, "It was he Sun Yangao who broke the rules first, so why should the official talk to him about the rules?" ”

"Could it be that Lord Sensei has already made up his mind for a long time?" Song Genhai and Cui Geng have not been in a day or two, and he knows that his adults have never fought uncertain battles.

"Of course." Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Hmph, framing He Mingyuan for colluding with the Turks?" The crime that Sun Yangao is looking for is really interesting. ”

Song Genhai snorted, and hurriedly went down to gather people.

In Cui Geng's mansion, not only him, Feng Changqing, Song Genhai and others, but also twenty soldiers from the Boling Cui clan who were transferred for him to drive. Although the number of people is small, it is enough to support the field.

Sigh~

Cui Geng turned over and dismounted, led more than 20 people, and went straight to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.

In an instant, they arrived outside the Assassin's Mansion.

At this time, an officer hurriedly blocked their way, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Cui Changshi, isn't it a day off today?" How did you get here? ”

Cui Geng also had some impressions of the officer blocking the way, and asked, "Sun Feng, are you on duty today?" It's just right, go and say that the official has something important to see Sun Tingshi! ”

Sun Feng smiled: "Cui Changshi, you are unlucky. Lord Assassin Shi has an order that a big case will be tried today, and no one is allowed to come in. ”

"Don't see anyone? I have to see him today! ”

Then, Cui Geng waved his hand and ordered Feng Changqing and the others: "Rush! Rush in for this officer! ”

"Yes!" Feng Changqing didn't care about that, and rushed forward with the soldiers of the Boling Cui clan.

The armor soldiers in front of the Assassin's Mansion were a little dumbfounded at that time, this governor Shi led more than 20 people to attack the Assassin's Yamen? What's going on?

Sun Feng and these gatekeepers also knew that Cui Changshi had been in the limelight recently, and they didn't dare to offend too much, and they also knew that Cui Changshi didn't seem to be much of a match with Sun Tingshi, Nima's, and immortals were fighting, and they didn't want to be affected by the pond fish.

So they put up a symbolic resistance and retreated.

In an instant, Cui Geng led people and quickly rushed into the lobby of the Assassin Yamen.

At this time, under the lobby, He Mingyuan was tied up with five flowers, his face was bleak, and his clothes were oozing red blood stains inside and out.

Obviously, He Mingyuan has already been sentenced, and it is estimated that he has been tortured for at least two rounds.

Seeing Cui Geng coming, He Mingyuan was about to cry, his eyes were shining, like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and he cried out with joy: "Cui Changshi, you are here, save He, they forced me to frame ......"

Syllable!

Sun Yangao slapped the startled wood violently, interrupting He Mingyuan's call for help.

Sun Yangao was furious and pointed at Cui Geng: "Cui Changshi, you flouted the laws and regulations, committed the following crimes, and led people to trespass into the Assassin's Mansion, what do you want to do?" ”

"Hmph, what do I want to do?"

Cui Gengyi was not afraid, proudly self-reliant, and asked: "I want to ask Sun Tingshi, what do you want to do?" Sun Thorn History, Sun Thorn History, you mess with these things every day, do you know that you are about to have a catastrophe? ”
