Gao Yan suddenly came back, and Gao Youcai and the villagers all paid attention to him.

This made Gao Huan's little family affection that had just been recovered ruthlessly again.

At this time, Gao Youcai was in no mood to pay attention to the fields. Anyway, the locusts had passed, so after saying a few words, he took Gao Yan back to Zhuangzi to meet Wang's family, and the family was reunited.

After packing up the things, the villagers who were busy for a day and overnight picked up some grasshoppers and went back to rest.

In the wheat field, only Gao Huan, Li Wu's family, as well as friends and their families.

"Young Master, we are all standing here!" Yang Shulin said as he looked at Gao Huan's back.

Aunt Yang’s family and a group of women also comforted him: “Yes, we are also standing on the side of the eldest son.”

After destroying the locusts, these villagers regarded themselves as Gao Huan's sect.

Gao Huan heard the words and knew that he had gained something. He felt a little moved in his heart, but turned around and said arrogantly and coldly: "Okay, everyone should clean up, go back and rest!"

Everyone caught chickens and ducks in the field, Yang Shulin and others carried a large bag of grasshoppers, and they worked until noon before returning to the village.

Gao Huan and Li Wu walked at the end, "Uncle, after you go back, find someone to dry the grasshoppers, store them in my yard, and find someone to guard them."

When the locusts came, they were covered with the sky and were caught by the villagers for tens of thousands of kilograms, most of which were transported back to the village by Gao Huan.

Most villagers dare not eat grasshoppers, after all, they don’t understand, and they are afraid that problems will arise after eating them. However, many people still picked up some and went back to feed the chickens.

Li Wu nodded and said, "Zhong, I'll let Pingyuan do it!"

Li Pingyuan is Li Wu's son. He is in his thirties. Kong Wu is powerful and has some swords, guns, and sticks. Gao Huan's skills are taught by him.

Gao Huan said, "I want Brother Pingyuan to help me train Zhuang Ding!"

Li Wu immediately said: "Then I will do it."

"Zhong! Then I'll trouble you uncle!" Gao Huan said.

Li Wu waved his hand, "Young Master, what's the matter? I didn't take it in by my wife back then, and I didn't have today either."

The group talked and returned to the village. Gao Huan asked Li Wu and the others to rest, while he went to find Gao Youcai.

Such a serious locust plague occurred in Henan. Although Gao Laozhuang's crops were preserved, other places may have been eaten up by locusts.

Gao Huan is sure that Henan will have a famine this year, and it won’t take long to get refugees.

At present, most of the elite officials in Henan have been transferred to Sichuan to suppress the Eight Kings. Now that the Central Plains are empty, the bandits will surely rise again. Not to mention Li Zicheng, even the local local gangster Li Jiyu in Dengfeng can destroy Gao Laozhuang.

Therefore, Gao Huan decided to find Gao Youcai, implement what he had just agreed to as soon as possible, and form a village protection team, so that he could take control of his own hands.

Gao Huan entered the backyard and heard a burst of laughter outside the hall. When he walked to the hall, he saw Gao Youcai's family having dinner.

There were mutton chopped onions, roasted fish noodles, chopped broad belly, fried eight pieces, fried purple crispy meat, and spicy soup on the table, which was full of color, fragrance and flavor.

Seeing this, Gao Huan's face darkened and felt that he was treated differently again.

Over the years, Gao Huan rarely enters the backyard and lives in the east wing, living with Li Wu's family.

Gao Youcai saw Gao Huan and put down his chopsticks, "Why are you here? Have you eaten?"

Gao Huan looked at the table of dishes, looked at their family again, and said coldly: "I've eaten it!"

Wang took a piece of meat to Gao Youcai and said sarcastically: "Master, Huan'er said that we have eaten it. By the way, this child lives in a house and doesn't usually see you. Look at your brother, studying in the county, and you still want to go home to see the master from time to time. Such a child is so unfilial."

Gao Youcai put down his chopsticks, "Say less!"

Then he looked at Gao Huan, "What's wrong with Huan'er?"

Gao Huan said: "I came here to discuss with my father about forming a village protection team."

Gao Youcai pondered and said, "Well, how much money do you want!"

Gao Huan said: "Five hundred taels of silver, buy some equipment, and ask for some food, and have two meals for Guanzhuang Ding!"

Recently, the memories in Gao Huan's mind have gradually become clearer, knowing that the big bandit Li Zicheng will leave Shangluo Mountain this year and enter Henan.

Li Zicheng was defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and more than ten cavalry fled into the mountains. He hid for more than two years. When he first came out of the mountains, he probably didn't have many soldiers.

There are more than 2,000 people in Gaolaozhuang and five or six hundred males. If they are trained, they may not be able to do something.

Gao Youcai was still thinking, but Wang shouted, "What are two hundred taels? Why do you want money at the first time? I wonder if the year is not good? Such a child is really ignorant, how can you make such a mess? Master, you just promised to give the sickle five hundred taels, and there is no extra money in the family."

Gao Youcai was in a dilemma, Gao Huan said in a panic: "This year, the disaster will surely cause refugees to arise in the county. I formed a village protection team for the sake of the village. Why are you messing around?"

Wang said: "Isn't it normal to have refugees? In the past year, there were no refugees in the county, with more than 2,000 people in the village, and there were also guards. I was afraid that the refugees would cause trouble? You are idle all day long and do not do serious business. Your family does not expect you to accomplish things now. Can you not drag your younger brother down? Only your younger brother can change the situation of the Gao family in high school!"

As he said that Wang seemed to have suffered so much grievance, he actually started crying, "Master, I have worked hard for more than ten years to train Yaner to become an adult. Yaner is successful in passing the student entrance exam. The family should support his studies, but it cannot break Yaner's future!"

Gao Jian hurriedly stood up and gave Wang Shishun's back, but said to Gao Youcai: "Father, why don't you give the money to your elder brother first! He rarely wants to do something, and as for his son's appointment as a disciple, he is not in a hurry."

Gao Youcai was so stern after hearing this, "No! The provincial examination will be held next year. It will be of great benefit to you to be able to get along with the Hou family. Our Gao family is now counting on you to be able to go to high school, and the money must be paid."

After Gao Youcai was dismissed by the court, he was always a little unwilling to do so, so he really wanted to raise his son to realize his dream in the officialdom.

Gao Youcai, the Hou family in Shangqiu, Henan, has always wanted to curry favor with him, but Hou Xun is a big boss of the Donglin Party and looks down on him as a remnant of the eunuch party. Gao Youcai has given gifts many times and wanted to join the Donglin Party, but others ignored him and did not take him to play.

Now that Gao Yan has the opportunity to approach the Hou family, it is equivalent to stepping into the glorious big family of Donglin. Once he passes the test in the future, he will be able to rise to the top.

Gao Youcai looked at Gao Huan and said with a hint of apology: "Huan'er, there is still some iron in the warehouse. It should be enough to use it to shoot some guns. In addition, protecting the village is also the villagers' own business, so I don't have to worry about the food."

Although Gao Youcai's attempt to destroy locusts has improved Gao Huan and he also supports the formation of a village protection team, Gao Yan is still more important in his psychology.

The Gao family has been full of books for generations, and Gao Huan may be able to be a military general, but Gao Youcai always believed that only studying can change the fate of the family.

He had fought with the gentry in the southeast and knew how powerful they were.

In the north, the emperor was barely still an emperor, but in the south of the Yangtze River, who treated the emperor as a number, and the larger gentry and merchants did not take the imperial court seriously.

If the Gao family wants to make a name for themselves, they must surrender to Donglin, join them, and integrate into them in order to gain greater benefits.

Gao Huan was extremely disappointed when he heard this, "Henan was destroyed, bandits were everywhere, and this year he was plagued by locusts, and the court was unable to provide relief. The situation was like dry grass on the ground, and it would be a turbulent soon. Dad, this woman has long hair and short knowledge, and the Gao family must be harmed by her!"

Gao Youcai was furious when he heard this and slapped the table, "How can you talk to your mother?"

Gao Huan was angry, but he asked again at the end, "Dad! You really don't listen to me! You really don't give me a chance?"

If Gao Youcai knew about Zhang Dongsheng, he would definitely answer Gao Huan's question carefully, because Gao Huan's question was the same as Zhang Dongsheng's question, "Do I still have a chance?"

Gao Youcai had a gloomy face, "Don't say anything more, just give you some pig iron!"

The moment he heard this, Gao Huan thought of a thrilling music in his mind.

At this moment, Gao Huan knew that in addition to Wang Jiaping, Wang Shi, and Gao Yan, there was another Gao Youcai on the list he wanted to deal with.

Gao Huan snorted coldly, knowing that the money would not be available, he didn't want to talk too much, so he turned around and left with his sleeves.

Wang pointed at Gao Huan's back and said, "Master, it's too unreasonable to look at him."

Gao Youcai sat back on the chair and sighed, "Forget it, he has such a temper, let him go."

Gao Huan walked out of the yard and stood in the hall. When he heard Gao Youcai's family inside, he began to discuss the Gao Jian imperial examination again. He snorted coldly and left with big strides.
