Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

After that... The "very small matter" that Xiao Yun mentioned was ignored.    

It was his request to come to the locusts as soon as possible. The more, the better. Once he got it, he would send it directly to his Xiao family. He couldn't delay any longer.    

Prime Minister Wu and Young Master Lee had no idea what Xiao Yun was going to do, and they didn't care about it at all. After all, there was an even bigger matter in their minds.    

After that, Xiao Yun returned home with great ambition.    

He was also somewhat glad that His Majesty had made the choice.    

This person... Wu Xi and Prime Minister Wu were indeed different from the other officials.    

He had perfectly met Xiao Yun's requirements.    

If it were any other official, perhaps they would not even have talked to Xiao Yun about this matter. They would either be headstrong and self-righteous, or treat Xiao Yun's words as a child's joke. If one could hear a sentence from Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun would burn a great incense.    

But Wu Xi was different.    

Although he was an elder, his character was there, and his reputation was there. He was not welcomed in the Imperial Court.    

Thus, he attached great importance to Xiao Yun, a person with a very special future status.    

It could be said to be a coincidence, but it could also be said to be luck.    

However, this coincidence and luck came from Xiao Yun's meticulous planning and hard work.    

Wait. As soon as Xiao Yun left Wu Prefecture, Prime Minister Wu changed his clothes and immediately ran towards the Imperial Palace.    

He had discussed the matters with Xiao Yun with His Majesty.    

His Majesty naturally wouldn't object to the matter of changing the rice grains. He was even amazed by Xiao Yun's quick thinking and broad vision.    

However, His Majesty hesitated about giving him the status of a merchant.    

Wu Xi knew that if he did not seize the opportunity and let the golden tongue speak, he would not agree to the coffin cover and nail board. As long as he gave His Majesty time to think, he would definitely not agree.    

Therefore, he directly took out his biggest "magic treasure."    

"Your Majesty, if we do not get the help of those merchants, ___ said. How many years and months will it take for us to transport a large amount of rice grains to the disaster area? I'm afraid that the disaster victims will starve to death when they arrive! Furthermore, if we don't give them some benefits, these merchants will inevitably take risks. Eat! Naka! Not to mention, he had to draw some food along the way. That would be terrible too. These were all life-saving food. Even if we only lose one bowl, we might lose a life, Your Majesty! "    

His Majesty was still hesitating.    

"Your Majesty, whether it is the title or the reward, it is only a name after all. Actually, the Imperial Court doesn't need to pay anything. At most, it's just a piece of paper. They can't use those things with no real power to do evil, can they? Besides, there were not many merchants who were qualified to provide help. There might only be two or three, as long as they were given a certain rank or something. They would definitely stand on the side of the Imperial Court, while the other merchants would be envious and jealous. It was unknown whether there would be a gap between them! Therefore, on the surface, it was a good thing for them, but to them, it really might not be a good thing."    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment and asked, "I'm afraid this is what Saint Xiao said."    

"His Majesty is wise!"    

Wu Xi hurriedly cupped his hands and acknowledged.    

In fact, this was the method Xiao Yun taught him to convince His Majesty.    

What was His Majesty worried about? Xiao Yun's heart was as clear as a mirror!    

"Alright then. It is understandable to use extraordinary methods at extreme times."    

His Majesty finally nodded.    

And what happened after that became much easier.    

Prime Minister Wu was truly capable!    

He didn't even need to step on the ground. He sat in the carriage and visited dozens of families along the way.    

No one knew what he had said or what he had talked to them about.    

In any case, on the same day, the granaries near the capital started to send large amounts of white rice to the granaries of the wealthy families. Then, they took away a large amount of grain.    

Among them, there was not only rice, but also some grains that were rarely eaten. There were also some fruits and vegetables that could be stored for a long period of time.    

It looked like they were collecting junk. They did not let go of all the junk and took everything away.    

Then, the three influential business families in the capital immediately dispatched caravans from all over the country and started to transport the coarse grains to the various disaster areas.    

The one who sold the most strength was the Hedong Lee family.    

They even temporarily gave up all their businesses in Hedong and devoted all their energy to the disaster relief. The daily expenses were astronomical!    

As the situation progressed like a raging fire, Xiao Yun's locusts finally arrived.    

Several cars were loaded in thick linen bags. When they opened them and fell to the ground, they were densely packed with green and green colors. They looked like they wanted to throw up.    

Shangguan Qing'er grinned and asked, "Young Master, are you really going to eat these things?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Did you forget what I said when we were moving on the ground? Humans are not as high class as we think they are. Other animals can eat fresh food. But we can't. It's easier for us to digest rotten food. There are also insects. "    

"Ah? Humans are born to eat insects?"    

"Then what do you think humans rely on to survive in the most primitive times? Do you think you can beat wild beasts every day? We don't have the ability to step on wolves, tigers, and leopards. Being able to live until now, not being picky about food is the main factor. "    

Although that was what he said.    

However, he also endured the waves of nausea and took out a bunch of locusts, placing them in the shade and drying them.    

He took another portion and directly stuffed it into the stone vat to grind it into minced meat.    

The bright color, originally humans would feel emotional when they saw it.    

Actually, this was a type of alertness that came from genes. As long as it was something bright colored, it was almost impossible to eat.    

The yellow and green colors, and even some shiny locusts, looked strange no matter how one looked at them. The colorful things were generally poisonous.    

How did this gene come to be? No one knew.    

Perhaps a certain senior ate this and got poisoned. Then, the lucky one didn't die, and his body had this' memory ', and this kind of memory was passed down in a very mysterious way. It made people feel fear whenever they saw something of the same color.    

Then, after many years of change, people gradually lost some fear towards the bright colors, but they would also be' touched '. This kind of feeling would turn into various emotions, and they might even' like 'it.    

It was very strange!    

As for these bugs, they really couldn't like them. When Xiao Yun touched them, he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.    

When it was stirred up, he could not hold it in anymore. He ran to the corner and vomited. His face turned green.    

"Young Master, why don't we stop? Don't we already have a way to help the disaster? Qin Country will definitely be able to survive this."    

"Sigh, I wish so too. I'm also looking forward to it. But that won't do. Do you think the disaster will only last for a short period of time? When the food for the disaster is delivered, will they be able to survive? How can it be that easy? If they wanted the civilians to survive, they would need at least a year! Now that the planting time had passed, there was no harvest in autumn. Next year, it would still be a big problem, perhaps the famine would last for two to three years. What should he do then? The person he saved would only need to be saved for a period of time? And the food in Great Qin Country can last for two to three years?"    

Shangguan Qing'er's mouth was wide open and she could not speak for a long time.    

She did not think so much.    

Xiao Yun sighed and put the antidote he made into the bug sauce, then continued to stir it carefully.    

He even specially put some edible seasoning in, making this vat of meat paste not that terrifying.    

Then he continued to stir it. After the fusion was complete, Xiao Yun asked someone to bring a few pigs over.    

"Why are they pigs?"    

Shangguan Qing'er frowned and looked at him.    

Qin Murong spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "Whether you believe it or not, the pig's diet is very similar to that of humans. If the pig doesn't die after eating it, humans will usually be fine after eating it."    

"Ah?!"    

Shangguan Qing'er could not help but feel a chill.    

She really could not link herself to a pig.    

But she also knew that what Xiao Yun said was definitely right, so she was very conflicted.    

A pig was free to do anything.    

They would never find bugs dirty.    

They ate in large mouthfuls, and they were even eating very comfortably, making people drool when they looked at them.    

"Is it really that delicious?"    

Shangguan Qing'er asked curiously.    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not! If it was just a simple locust, it should actually be quite delicious. But unfortunately, it's poisonous, so how delicious can it be? Just the medicinal taste inside would be very strong. "    

" You're right. There are so many medicines inside. "    

Shangguan Qing'er curled her lips and actually looked a little disappointed.    

This made Xiao Yun understand that she was a snack!
