Although the villagers saw that Gao Huan and his friends had achieved certain results in killing locusts, they did not dare to act without Gao Youcai's speech.

Over the years, the annual situation has been common, when the grain prices are low, there are talented people who can store grain. When the grain prices are high in the disaster year, they sell grain. Eat 80% to 90% of the land in the village, and the rest is also devoted to his disciples.

Nowadays, most of the self-cultivated farmers in the village have gone bankrupt, and are burdened with the debts of the Gao family, becoming Gao Youcai tenants.

Nowadays, the fields around the village are all the industries of the Gao family.

If the crops are eaten up by locusts, not only will the rent not be collected this year, but the tenants will also have to borrow food from themselves, and most of the lent loans cannot be paid back, which will become bad debts.

In addition, the village's self-cultivated farmers have finished, but the taxes sent by the government still need to be paid. The court had no choice but to use the wealthy families in Jiangnan. The money was probably still paid in various northern provinces, and it was refined into the county. When the showdown came, the tenants had to borrow grain to make a living, and most of the money and grain were allowed to be evenly distributed by several large families in the county.

Last year, paying taxes to the government was damaged by Gao Youcai's vitality. If the locust plague this year is severe and all the crops are eaten up, the one with the worst losses will become the Gao family.

This is a situation that Gao Huan was unwilling to see. After all, he has regarded the Gao family's industry as his capital for hegemony, so he must manage Gao Laozhuang well and not let locusts waste crops.

Gao Youcai is very smart, and he doesn't need to say anything about this, he knows it in his heart.

Therefore, Gao Huan's words made Gao Youcai shaken.

Gao Huan dared to bet with Wang Jiaping because he actually saw that as long as there is a possibility of killing locusts, Gao Youcai would take action.

"master!"

"Class leader!"

The tenants and the Gao clans shouted urgently.

Everyone looked at Gao Youcai, but Gao Youcai's eyes looked at the dark sky in the distance.

Now Gao Huan is facing only sporadic locusts, and the real swarm is still behind. Gao Youcai is still a little hesitant whether to bet on his prestige.

At this time, Gao Huan saw the old rich man's melancholy, then walked over, stood in front of Gao Youcai, and took out a fried locust from his small bag on his waist.

The villagers were so shocked that they took a step back, and were shocked. Some even covered their faces, leaving a gap in their fingers. Looking at Gao Huan, "The big fool is going to perform the locust-eating god again."

Gao Huan handed the locust to Gao Youcai and said provocatively: "My father has read so many books, so he wouldn't have known that Emperor Taizong of Tang destroyed locusts!"

Gao Youcai narrowed his eyes, and he felt a trace of contempt from Gao Huan's gaze, which made a trace of anger surge in his calm heart.

Gao Youcai naturally knew that Emperor Taizong of Tang ate locusts, made a show in front of the people, and inspired the people to destroy locusts.

The stupid son actually knew this, which surprised Gao Youcai. He hesitated for a moment, took over the locust and stuffed the locust into his mouth in the fearful and excited eyes of the tenants.

He first bite a few times, then his eyes lit up, and he quickly chewed and ate the locusts.

"Master!" the tenants exclaimed one after another.

Gao Huan is considered stupid when eating locusts, but Gao Youcai, a wise elder, cannot be said to be stupid.

Gao Youcai looked at the many villagers and suddenly emitted a sharp aura. A sharp light burst out from his turbid eyes, and said with hatred: "Locusts eat my grains, just like eating my lungs. Since it eats our crops and does not leave us a way out, I will eat it first."

The tenants and villagers were stunned. The master had eaten locusts, so what were you waiting for? Let's do it.

At this time, Li Wu shook his arms without missing the opportunity and said, "The master is wise. If the locusts don't leave us a way to survive, we will fight against the locusts!"

Gao Huan showed a sneer on his lips, everything was under my control.

Gao Youcai was born as a Jinshi, and was the head of the Gao family. He was a big landlord in the village. Gao Huan was regarded as a devil and a fool. Gao Youcai ate locusts, but the villagers admired him and was wise.

The difference between eating locusts is so big.

The villagers suffered from locust plagues. They had burned incense and worshipped the locust god before, but the locust god was not merciless and ate all the crops every time.

The villagers thought that after the crops were eaten up by locusts, their families would be heavily in debt. If the master had a good family and did not urge him to pay back the money, he could still live, but But Mr. Wang was so unwilling that he might have to force them to sell their children and daughters.

For a moment, the villagers were excited and excited, "Master, can we protect the crops?"

Gao Youcai saw the villagers' expressions and sighed that his morale was available. A trace of the pride of just becoming a Jinshi appeared deep in his heart, so he said with a crutch: "The elders of all houses, bring their children and tenants to get tools to destroy locusts. Everyone works together to overcome the locust plague."

"Okay!" Several old men nodded quickly.

After all, Gao Youcai has been an official and is very good at organizing villagers. He asked the elders of the Gao family's tribes, including the tribesmen and tenants, to define areas and gather to join the limelight to stop the locusts.

Soon, the villagers picked up their net bags and supported the bed sheets with sticks. At this moment, countless locusts flew from the west, and the sky was instantly dark, and the locusts fell on the crops like rainstorms. The wheat seedlings more than one foot high flew up and were eaten up in an instant.

Amid the huge sound of insects and the sound of shaking wings, Gao Youcai stood in front of the defense line composed of villagers, staring at the endless and boundless insect swarm in front of him.

Tens of thousands of locusts fell in large patches, ate all the fields west of Gaolaozhuang, and then flew towards Gaolaozhuang.

"The entire western Henan has been eaten up!" Gao Youcai felt a sense of compassion in his heart. "Henan and Shandong are probably over. I don't know how many people will starve to death in the world."

Gao Huan felt the power of nature and was shocked. He stood beside Gao Youcai and was a little surprised. His stingy, selfish, and unscrupulous father, who was tyrannical, and disregarded the lives and death of the villagers, would also care about the people of the world.

Gao Youcai glanced at Gao Huan, as if he had seen through Gao Huan's thoughts, but he didn't explain anything.

In fact, when he was young, he entered the officialdom with passion and wanted to realize his political ideals, but reality beat him up.

As a junior of Gao Gong, the reformist faction of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Youcai felt angry and powerless when he recalled his journey to the officialdom and his experience in Jiangnan.

In the two years in Jiangnan, he repeatedly encountered walls and achieved nothing. Not only did he not suppress the wealthy families, but he also killed many relatives and friends.

How many people can truly serve the country in the world? Facing the invincible gentry and wealthy family, Gao Youcai and very strong. Since he can't fight them, he can only join them and join them.

"Here you come!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

Gao Youcai looked serious and suddenly shouted loudly: "Bring up the bed sheets."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless locusts collided densely on the laid sheets. In a moment, he packed a large bag, and many fishing nets were directly broken by locusts.

Gao Huan also raised his voice, "The front is closed, the back is immediately supported, and cooperate with each other, and do not expose it."

More than 2,000 villagers in Gaolaozhuang formed several lines of defense to block locusts. Adults supported the bed sheets and children waved their net bags. Everyone went all out to stick to this line of defense.

In the wheat field, there were flocks of chickens and ducks, and they were packing up fish that had missed the net.

After the initial panic, the multi-layer defense line formed by the villagers gradually stabilized, blocking locusts outside Gao Laozhuang.

Seeing that the villagers had barely blocked the locust swarm, Gao Huan immediately said to Gao Youcai: "I would like to ask my father to give me some food and have someone make some big cakes to deliver!"

Gao Youcai frowned, but turned his head and ordered: "Fourth brother, go do it!"

An old man hurriedly nodded and turned around, "Zhong! I'll go now!"

Gao Huan also suggested that Gao Youcai be prepared for firewood and dry grass. Gao Youcai looked at his silly son with a little surprise and showed a rare smile.

Looking at Gao Huan's recent performance, Gao Youcai was actually a little surprised, thinking that he seemed to have changed, but it may be because he hadn't paid attention to this son for too long, so he had this illusion.

When the villagers began to destroy locusts, Wang Jiaping, who heard the report, led a group of people to come.

He was reporting to Wang at the inner house of Gao's family. He didn't want the villagers to report, saying that Gao Youcai went to see Gao Huan kill locusts, so he hurried over.

At this time, Wang Jiaping and his group came to the field and saw the villagers raising their bed sheets, holding net bags, and catching locusts. The most sexy thing was that there were swarms of chickens and ducks eating locusts happily in the field.

"Damn it, it's really blocked!" Wang Jiaping's eyes were so shocked that they raised their eyes.

Everyone looked at the overwhelming locusts, but they were blocked by the villagers, so shocked that they could put down a goose egg.

"Butler, what should we do?" the villagers couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Wang Jiaping gritted his teeth and wanted to stop him, but when he saw Gao Youcai standing in the line of defense composed of villagers with a crutch, he could only give up his thoughts.

At this time, he observed for a while, recovered from calmness, and then gritted his teeth and said, "They can't hold on for long, and it will definitely be done until the night is over. Now it's just a waste of effort."

The tenant looked at the villagers' obstruction and the wheat seedlings were still fine, and said anxiously: "What if we can really protect the crops?"

Wang Jiaping glared at the few people, "What's the hurry? Our fields are all by the river, and there is a downside. If you don't need to do anything, you can save yourself, but if you can't save yourself, you can't save yourself."

Only then did everyone realize, "It's still Mr. Wang who is wise."

Wang Jiaping ignored the group of flatterers and walked forward. He grabbed the net pocket from a child's hand and pushed the child into the ditch, making the child cry.

Gao Youcai came to kill locusts and did not inform him in advance, which made Wang Jiaping feel a little worried whether he had fallen out of favor.

"Master!" Wang Jiaping walked to Gao Youcai and whispered indifferently: "You are in poor health, why are you here in person?"

Gao Youcai turned his head and sporadic locusts kept hitting him, "Will anyone come to destroy the locusts?"

Wang Jiaping felt a little nervous and hurriedly explained: "The master misunderstood. I was afraid that the eldest master would offend the locust god, so I was determined to act alone and did not listen to the master's advice, so I did not let the villagers come to help. I didn't expect that the master actually wanted to kill locusts too!"

Gao Youcai didn't like Gao Huan's son, mainly because he was so angry that Gao Huan didn't listen to his arrangements, didn't study hard, and embarrass him by doing whatever he wanted. However, Gao Huan was his son after all. Wang Jiaping wanted to drive Gao Huan away, so he touched Gao Youcai's bottom line.

"Hmph! What are you doing?" Gao Youcai said coldly.

Wang Jiaping picked up the snatched net bag and smiled and said with apologies: "After all, I am an uncle, how can I be as good as my nephew? I won't bring anyone to help me."

Gao Youcai's expression was a little calmer when he heard the words. Now the world is not peaceful. He hopes from the bottom of his heart that the family can live in harmony, support each other, and overcome difficulties together. "Huaner is a little naughty, but I am not useless when I look at it today. I used to be determined to let him study, but now I think that in this world, studying may not be the only way out. His uncle, no matter whether he recognizes it or not, is his uncle. If he gets along well in the future, maybe you will still rely on him in the future."

Gao Youcai has been observing Gao Huan today. After calming down, he seemed to have discovered some of Gao Huan's advantages.

Wang Jiaping was shocked, it was not good! Judging from the old guy's meaning, he seemed to want to pass on the family business to Gao Huan.

"What the master said!" Wang Jiaping laughed, "This locust hurts when hitting the body, so I'd better go back first. I'll leave it to me and the eldest master. I will definitely cooperate with the eldest master."

Gao Youcai looked at Wang Jiaping and the people he brought. When he saw him with sincerity, he hesitated for a moment, he nodded, "Okay! I'll leave this to you."

Wang Jiaping hurriedly smiled and said, "I got a strong medicine yesterday and I have already let the kitchen stew it. The master went back to take it and rested early."

Gao Youcai raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly without saying a word. He said that he had not dared to have sex with Wang for half a month.

Wang Jiaping quickly recruited several subordinates, helped Gao Youcai onto the bamboo carriage, and told them to lift Gao Youcai back and rest.

Wang Jiaping looked at Gao Youcai being carried away, and a sinister sneer appeared on his face. He turned around, but was horrified by Gao Huan who suddenly appeared in front of him, "You walk silently, I want to scare me to death!"

"What are you doing?" Gao Huan said coldly.

Wang Jiaping was shocked by Gao Huan who suddenly appeared and took two steps back, then held up the snatched net bag and said, "Uncle comes here to help you!"
