Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

"Haha! I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing everything he can to keep his position. The poisonous insects were edible before, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on saying it was a good omen. I have nothing to say!"

"But the locusts in a locust plague leave nothing behind wherever they pass. They eat everything, and their bodies are already filled with toxins. If a person eats them, they will die!"

"Besides, the locusts are in the sky. Even if someone is not afraid of death and wants to eat them, they can't catch them!"

Shangguan Xiong said with a sneer.

"Shangguan Xiong! This prince never said that locusts should be eaten by humans!"

Qin Yu said coldly.

Then, he looked at Emperor Liang and said, "Father! Just leave the locust problem to me. In three days at most, I will not only eliminate all the locusts, but also take the opportunity to make a fortune!"

Seeing Qin Yu so confident, Emperor Liang couldn't help but believe it a little bit. He said in a deep voice: "Okay! If you can make a fortune using locusts, all the money you get will be yours!"

Civil and military officials looked at Qin Yu with disdain. That was a locust plague, and he wanted to solve it in three days? Unless Qin Yu could mobilize a million troops!

If Qin Yu still wants to make a fortune, he can just wait to lose everything!

"Your Majesty! To deal with the locust plague, we will definitely need some initial capital. Please issue an order requiring Shangguan Xiong to immediately return the 100,000 taels of silver he owes me!"

Qin Yu said.

Shangguan Xiong owed him one hundred thousand taels of silver, but Qin Yu did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for it. The first reason was that he did not want to deal with Shangguan Xiong's family, and the second was that he did not want to push Shangguan Xiong too hard.

And now, Shangguan Xiong has resolved the Zhao family's affairs and has collected the silver and handed it over to the national treasury. It is only right for Emperor Liang to ask Shangguan Xiong to return the silver!

Moreover, the officials who were forced by Shangguan Xiong to take the silver would definitely feel deceived by Shangguan Xiong and be angry when they saw that Shangguan Xiong still had silver in his hands!

"Well! Prime Minister Shangguan, the money you owe Yu'er hasn't been repaid yet?"

Emperor Liang looked at Shangguan Xiong, his tiger eyes dignified without even being angry.

"Your Majesty! I have been busy with the Zhao family's affairs these past few days, and therefore have been delayed in returning the silver to His Royal Highness. I will return the silver to His Royal Highness immediately after leaving the court!"

Shangguan Xiong said immediately.

"Okay! Go do it now!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.

Afterwards, he stood up and left. Since Qin Yu had taken on the matter, Emperor Liang did not intend to waste time and asked Qin Yu to do it immediately.

When Qin Yu left the court and returned to the prince's residence, he saw Xue Rongrong hurriedly walking out of the house, and the clothes she was wearing looked like she had just put on.

"What were you doing? Why are you so flustered?"

Qin Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's it to you what I do?"

Xue Rongrong rolled her eyes at Qin Yu and asked back.

"Forget it! This prince doesn't have time to argue with you right now. Desheng! Go find Yuwen Chengqing and tell him that this prince has something urgent to do!"

Qin Yu said.

Now, there is only one guard left in the Prince's Eastern Palace, Desheng. If there is anything, he has to do it.

Yu Desheng took the order and left quickly. Not long after, Yuwen Chengqing arrived.

"Your Highness, what do you want to see me for?"

Yu Wenqing asked in a deep voice.

"This prince gives you one hundred thousand taels of silver. Immediately dispatch all of your Scarlet Flame Cavalry to buy up all the chickens in the counties and towns within a hundred miles, and then quickly send them to Ganzhou!"

"Remember, you must be quick! Also, pass on this prince's order: all eggs laid by my chickens belong to me. The governor of Ganzhou is to mobilize the people to pick them up for me!"

"Then, after the locust plague is resolved, the Red Flame Cavalry will escort the eggs back!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

This is the solution Qin Yu thought of to solve the locust plague!
