With his two humanoid business processors, Huang Ama and Fourth Brother, in charge, the burden on Yinqi is finally relieved.

Over the years, his problem of not wanting to eat when it’s hot has not changed. He couldn’t eat a few mouthfuls of that dinner, but he felt that his stomach was congested, and he presumed that he was tired. Go back and rest, and sleep until the next morning.I don't know what Lian Zhen poured down when I was groggy, but after waking up, I feel more refreshed, and I know I'm hungry, so I changed my clothes and started thinking about finding something to eat.

"Brother - you are awake!"

Brother Nine's joyful voice sounded at the door, Yinqi hadn't recovered his strength, and looked over while leaning on the table, when his tall and burly younger brother threw himself on him and hung him on him.Immediately, a few stars appeared in front of his eyes, and his legs were so weak that he almost fell down: "Xiao Jiu Xiao Jiu—stop for a while, but please spare your brother's old waist..."

"Yesterday your face was frighteningly pale, and you couldn't sound right when you spoke. You almost scared the old thirteen and me to death."

Yinzhen muttered aggrievedly, and then looked at his expression carefully.Seeing that his eyes were condensed and his face was still ruddy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest to reassure him: "Huang Ama said that you are tired, brother, don't worry—the two of us are here to help you." You are busy, you don't need to do anything, just sit here and move your mouth, and I will handle it neatly for you with old Shisan!"

"How much do you dislike fourth brother, why don't you talk about him?"

The old thirteen who was named was coming in with a plate of fried fruit from outside, but when he heard this, he shook his head angrily and amusedly, and gently put the things in his hand on the table: "Fifth brother, fourth brother yesterday I guarded you all night without any food, if Huang Ama hadn't blown people up, fourth brother wouldn't have left..."

"I'm making you worry." Yin Qi smiled helplessly, sat down slowly while leaning on the table, and looked curiously at the unidentified object on the plate called egg white wrapped in fried golden yellow: "What is this--you two A trick?"

"Master." Tanlang came in behind him and called out in a low voice, gesturing desperately worriedly, as if he was afraid that he would ask further questions.Except for being unwell and sick, Yinqi had never seen him so flustered, and felt more and more curious for a moment, so he took the chopsticks handed over by the old thirteen and picked one up to study carefully: " It smells delicious, is it made of potatoes?"

Yinzhen's expression was full of excitement, and he urged him to try it first, almost writing the idea of ​​deceiving people on his face.No matter what, he is the younger brother brought up by himself, so Yinqi naturally knew what he was thinking at a glance. Halfway through the chopsticks, he suddenly turned around and stuffed them into his open mouth without any explanation: "You Let me eat one first to see if it is poisonous."

Brother Jiu, who was used by his elder brother to test the poison, did not have the slightest psychological shadow. He chewed deliciously, and then threw a few into his own mouth: "Brother, why do you look like old Shisan? Suspicious all day long - can I still harm you? I said that delicious food is delicious, but neither of you believe it..."

"It's delicious, but it's not easy to bear. Not everyone dares to put anything in their mouth like you, Brother Jiu." The old thirteen curled his lips and replied, but he also wanted to deceive himself. With a mentality of being one by one, he tugged on his brother's clothes, "Fifth brother, it's actually quite delicious—why you try it too?"

"master!"

Greedy Wolf was coerced outside and promised that the two young elder brothers would not break the stage. At this time, he was so anxious that he had no choice but to gesture at him desperately, flung his arms a few times, and jumped on the spot twice .Yin Qi was still sipping tea, but when he saw his actions, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was so choked that he almost couldn't even hold the teacup, so that no one in the room dared to After making a fool of himself, he patted his back smoothly and walked around nervously, afraid that he would cough up something again.

"Okay, okay, you really think I'm Lin—cough, don't you just fry it with eggs? I can see that you don't have to work so hard. You have to play the hen for me..."

Thinking of the fact that there is no girl like Lin Daiyu who can flood Chentangguan with tears, Yin Qi swallowed back the half-spoken words as if nothing had happened, changed the subject calmly, and patted Tan Lang earnestly. shoulder.

—How could it be a hen!The greedy wolf who was so passionate that he wanted to protect his master from being entrapped by evil forces burst into tears. He could only watch Yin Qi take one and put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. Then his expression changed slightly, his gaze Looking complicatedly at the two younger brothers who were eagerly waiting to see the excitement: "This is—a grasshopper?"

"Master, if you feel uncomfortable, spit it out quickly, don't hold back..."

Tanlang hurriedly brought him a cup of tea, but Yin Qi just took a sip thoughtfully and put it aside, and after tasting a few more, he nodded seriously and said: "There is less salt, if you add more Some pepper powder, it will probably taste better...Have you tried it for Huang Ama and Fourth Brother?"

"Taste it—the old thirteen knows how to pretend to be good in front of them, but in the end I was the only one who got the beating!" Yinzhen complained to her brother aggrievedly, and pointed at her own butt, " It's almost swollen!"

"That's the wrong way for you to cause harm." Yinqi smiled mysteriously, patted the younger brother's shoulder, and hooked his hands mysteriously at the two, "I'll teach you, and you go and tell Huang Ama that the locusts are the ones who don't know what to do." Things can be eaten as snacks and used as medicine, so there is a reason to spend money to collect them-let the court pay, and one penny is worth a catty of dry locusts, not only in Zhili, but also in several nearby provinces. When people save enough, they go to the government to exchange money, and they give food when they ask for food, and they can always exchange locusts for real things.”

"That's a good idea!" Yinxiang's eyes lit up, and he punched his palm, "In this way, the common people will be more motivated—the plague of locusts has turned into copper coins flying all over the sky, who can't resist grabbing them?" The fourth brother is worried about how to get rid of the locusts, isn't it just right..."

"But there is one bad thing, the money will never come back when it is out."

Yinzhen couldn't understand his studies, but he was astute at calculating accounts than anyone else, and he calculated the loss here: "Brother, in fact, there are many people who have eaten grasshoppers, but still no one wants to catch them." Locusts, after all, is it because this thing can’t survive? If we open our mouths to buy, there will be a steady stream of locusts, but we can’t keep it either. This is not a waste of money. ?"

Unexpectedly, this incompetent younger brother of his family has a bit of talent in business, and he has already been able to calculate to this step. Although his methods are still a little tender, he has all the senses he should have.Yinqi smiled gratifiedly, blinked meaningfully and said slowly: "Of course we have to find someone else to suffer for us--you take it, and you can make it into snacks, or dry it and grind it into something." Powder, it is said that it is a high-quality medicinal material, and it is sold to those wealthy families in Beijing with a commission of one tael. It is only said that anyone who spends one tael is a pledge of five qian for the Zhili disaster victims... ..."

"Then they have to hold their noses and spend money to buy it in order to earn their reputation. Half of the money we earn will be pledged to donate, and the rest will be much more than the previous money!"

Yinzhen liked to listen to this, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and in the end he interrupted his brother's words with excitement, and happily followed up with the last sentence.Yin Qi smiled and patted the younger brother's head, and pouted towards the door: "I understand, why don't you go quickly? I'll take care of this errand for you. If you can't handle it, don't come back to see me. Listen?"

"Look, okay you!" Yinzhen waved his fist excitedly, and rushed out of the room in a flash.Yin Xiang blankly watched the two elder brothers reach a criminal money transaction in front of him, feeling confused, touched his head innocently and said: "Fifth Brother, I still don't seem to understand..."

"You don't need to understand, the direction of your calculations is different from that of Xiao Jiu'er. You are thinking about politics, and he is thinking about business. It is something out of the ordinary."

Yinqi smiled faintly, patted the younger brother on the back to signal him to sit down, and then took a sip of tea before saying: "Xiao Jiu is shallow-minded, I don't ask him to think about his family, country, and world, I just want him to be safe and sound for the rest of his life." It is enough to be a rich man. But you have to know in your heart that the acquisition of locusts is firstly for locust removal, and secondly for disaster relief - the common people are not willing to waste time and effort to catch locusts because their own land has been gnawed clean anyway No matter how much you gnaw on it, you won’t be able to gnaw it. If you catch it, it won’t be enough to eat a few meals. The motivation to get rid of locusts is for those who didn’t grow potatoes this time..."

"What do they do? Who can blame them for being stubborn at the beginning, but now they are dumbfounded?" Yinxiang poked his neck in dissatisfaction, and grunted reluctantly, "At the beginning, I said that I refused to plant, and I took the words of the court as a How can you be so strong, why don't we come to our rescue?"

"Thirteen, your temper has always been straight-forward to hate evil, which is not a bad thing, but sometimes, some things don't have to be so clear."

Yinqi smiled helplessly, and patted the younger brother's head comfortingly, but he was not too busy trying to enlighten him, but just smiled and said warmly: "You can go down and run yourself on this matter—those who didn't grow potatoes at all in the first place. If there are those who don’t care about what is wrong with others, or those who have not planted well and have no harvest, we can’t just give them relief food, but we can encourage them to earn food for themselves. It’s not a big deal, leave them a It’s actually much easier to survive than to force them to kneel on a dead end and admit their mistakes..."

Although Yinxiang was still a little unconvinced, he had always listened to this brother's words after all, and nodded with a vague understanding, and suddenly couldn't help asking curiously: "Fifth brother... can locusts really be used as medicine?"

"Anyway, it's not bad for people to eat, so let's just say it's a tonic. It's the same thing if it's useful or not..." Fifth elder brother, who is concerned about the country and the people, touched his chin, and replied confidently, and cunningly He made a decision: "You and Xiao Jiu'er sent people back to the capital to spread rumors, saying that eating locust powder can nourish yin and strengthen yang, which is of great benefit to that kind of thing, so it's decided."

It was the first time I watched the gentle, kind and omnipotent fifth brother in my mind cheating people so confidently, the thirteenth brother suffered a severe shock in his heart, and stubbornly pulled at the last bit of his conscience and refused to let go: " Fifth brother, how do you know that it is useful... What if it doesn't work?"

"Of course it's useless, otherwise Huang Ama would have stuffed me with grasshoppers long ago."

Now Yinqi has become accustomed to his so-called "hidden disease" to a certain extent, and he even showed up to explain himself by giving an example, and then patted this meaningfully. Although he already has Fujin, he is still afraid The younger brother who doesn't know much about human affairs: "Don't worry, this kind of thing - even if it doesn't work, no one will have the nerve to say it..."

-

Disaster relief is not something that can be done in a day or two, but Yu Jia can't stay in Baoding Mansion forever.Yinqi's body this time was very competitive, and within a few days he was already alive and kicking so that he couldn't see any weakness or discomfort. Kangxi's heart was finally relieved after mentioning it for a few days, and Kaiyinbu who came in a hurry was left behind. Accompanied by Jackie Chan for disaster relief, he sent an order to drive back to Beijing.

Lao Jiu had already returned to the capital to discuss the matter of selling locusts, while Elder Thirteen was deliberately left behind by Yinqi to grind his temper - from what the boy said first, it can be seen that this little Thirteen With my own protection along the way, after all, I still walked too smoothly. Although I have a lot of plans in my chest, I still have the temper of a noble son, and I am always a little bit less secure.He was not willing to ask this younger brother to go into the clan's mansion to polish it, he only planned to throw it down like this and do it down-to-earth for a few years.

Why do you have to wear away the arrogance in your chest to be reliable?Between a generation of capable ministers and a younger brother who is flying and dazzling, Yin Qi chooses the latter without hesitation.The children he raises should preferably be the kind that beat the Lifan Courtyard in front of the mountain and step into the Changchun Garden in the back sea. They can cry and laugh whenever they want, and they don’t need to follow him step by step and plan to come over— — To plan and plan, to work hard, he alone is enough...

Under the command of the fifth master behind the scenes, Brother Jiu's locust powder quickly opened up sales in the capital. Not only did he get back all the money he had previously donated, but he still made a lot of money after donating half of it. ——It's a pity that Master Jiu, who has made a lot of money, has not waited to be happy, and all the money he got has been put into Xinzhe's treasury by his fifth brother. He only said that this time, it is Xinzhe's treasury that produces materials, works, and places. The money seized should naturally belong to others.Poor Master Jiu spent his money earning a lot of money and worked hard, but finally he only got 5000 taels of red envelopes stuffed by his brother, and after a pat on the head, he was sent to the side to play by himself.

The younger brother was crying in his mother's arms with tears in his eyes, but the older brother was sitting in Zhiweilou, the largest restaurant in the capital, listening with great interest to the so-called locust powder being blown away by the table next to him. God—men in the capital all want noodles, and they usually think that they are strong and fierce, and it is even more impossible to take this magic medicine and die.Seeing that the blowing was almost out of bounds, there are still people who feed locust powder to grasshoppers. I don’t know what is so particular about it. Anyway, the master holding the grasshopper gourd plausibly said that he, the "general", eats grasshoppers. After taking the locust powder, he became more and more fierce. He defeated the "Du Yi Dou" in the west of the city and the "Megatron" in the south of the city. Exciting.

"It's really like that. If I didn't make up the story, I should believe it..."

Taking a sip of the tea handed over by Tanlang, Yin Qi waved his fan unhurriedly, shook his head with a light smile, and couldn't help sighing sincerely.Tanlang was meticulously scalding the dishes, spoons and chopsticks with tea, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and wiped the dishes carefully and put them in front of Yinqi: "It's strange to say that no one wants to believe the truth, and lies But it spread farther and farther by itself as if it had wings--I heard that several medicine shops in the capital also started to collect locust powder, and some counties secretly collected it by themselves, and the price was also high. Many people no longer exchanged with the government, but sold to them instead."

"Normal. Even the Salt Road and the salt smugglers can't catch them all. A locust powder is not a big deal. We didn't hold it together and only allowed the government to do it. Why can't they go down and collect it? Such a thing for ordinary people There’s still a lot of money to be earned—we were tossing about this thing at the beginning to relieve disasters and eliminate locusts, as long as it has this effect, it’s the same whoever gives the money and whoever takes advantage of it.”

Yin Qi smiled lightly, but there was a hint of interest in his eyes.This time, the locust fan made a big fuss, as if there was another hand contributing to the flames - he didn't want to scare the snake, but he didn't intend to sit still.Xiao Jiu'er's business was cut off by him as soon as it started to grow, and there were piles of locust powder piled up in the warehouse waiting to be distributed. He wanted to see which hand behind the scenes wanted to deal with this matter. Push it in a certain direction, and then establish the business rules of Guo Luoluo's family.

The thoughts in his mind flashed away, seeing the first two middle-aged scribes with extraordinary bearing coming up, Yinqi put away these hidden thoughts, closed his fan with a smile, got up to meet them, bent down and saluted lightly: " Student Yin Qi, met Mr. Fang and Mr. Dai."

He has acted in plays for two lifetimes, and what he is best at is this three-point elegant and gentle, seven-point noble and natural aura.Now it is just a salute with a smile on his face, which has already shocked Dai Mingshi, who has always been aloof and aloof, all the slight contempt he had shown towards these nobles and brothers disappeared, and he returned the salute sincerely, leaned over and said sincerely: "Dai Mingshi, a criminal In the world, I have seen King Heng."

Fang Bao has been with the South Study Room for many days, and he has seen the skills of this fifth elder brother earlier.Looking at this old friend with a smile, he finally sincerely bowed down to the savior, but he also corrected his expression, and solemnly saluted Yinqi: "Thanks to the lord's generous rescue, how many innocent people have been saved from misfortune ——A deep kindness is hard to repay, please accept Fang Bao's respect."

"Mr. Fang, you don't need to be like this." Yinqi supported him with quick eyes and hands, and turned to the stairs of the private room on the third floor with a smile, indicating that this is not a place to talk. "There are wine and food upstairs. If the two gentlemen don't Dislike, how about you move on?"
