Chapter 813

The megalocust plague is actually very terrifying, thinking about the dense locusts in the sky flying, rampage to the people, covering the sky and the sun, it simply makes people's scalp numb.

The previous dynasty experienced a great locust plague that had not been encountered for decades, which affected the entire Central Plains, and the people had no harvest and could only eat tree roots to survive.

That year ago, the dynasty was in crisis, the imperial court was heavy in taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were miserable, and finally the officials forced the people to rebel, so that today's Min Ze Dynasty existed.

When someone on the street saw the dark clouds covering the roof, an experienced old man knew that it was a locust coming, and shouted: "The locusts are coming! There really is a plague of locusts!"

The people walking on the street looked up one after another, how many locusts must have been in this black oppressive area!

"Oh my God! It's so dark, how many locusts must there be?

"It's miserable, it's miserable, I knew that I wouldn't sell all the grain stored at home, and only kept half a year's rations, and this season's grain grains have not been harvested, so we won't have to gnaw the roots in the second half of the year!"

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up and take a broom and kill these scourges! If you can kill one, you can kill one! You can't let it continue!" The prefectural commander knew that there was a plague of locusts, and he had been guarding the city wall for many days.

Now that the locusts are really coming, they quickly and loudly call everyone to go home and get brooms.

When he knew that there was a locust plague in the neighboring county, he asked the catcher to beat the gongs and drums and issue a notice, telling the people of every household to prepare a big broom, and everyone would shoot these snails to death!

Shoot one to death is one, shoot a few to death and earn!

Now that the county commander had given an order, the people in the city and the soldiers defending the city heard his words, and they all ran back to their houses, wrapped their heads in cloth, and then ran out, ready to fight the locusts.

Some of the old people who have passed the age of antiquity have experienced the locust plague of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty superstition regarded these locusts as locust gods, and did not dare to kill them, and it was a long period of miserable days, but the emperor of the Min Ze Dynasty did not believe in these, and after receiving the locust plague in many counties on the desk, he issued an order to prepare the counties that might be affected by the disaster, and thought of killing these pests as soon as possible.

The county magistrate of Xiangyang County thought of this method.

When Xiao'er heard the voices of the people, she knew that everyone would not release the ducks, it didn't matter if they didn't let them go, she would let them go!

She and Shangguan Xuanyi ran all over the county's fertile fields for two days and two nights, and laid down tens of thousands of ducks.

These are all raised by her taking advantage of the time difference in space, and finally put the last two thousand ducks on this field in the evening, Xiao'er rubbed her waist and said to Shangguan Xuanyi with a smile: "I feel that I have become a professional duck farmer! It's a pity that they are all raised by others!"

With so many ducks, Xiao'er didn't plan to run for two more days and two nights to take them back.

But if the locusts can't be wiped out in this county, you still have to catch the ducks and run after the locusts' butts!

Xiao'er felt a headache at the thought of catching ducks one by one in the field, no, she must definitely eliminate all these locusts in Xiangtang County!

Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiao'er rubbing her waist, stretched out his hand and stroked her back, and said distressedly: "Tired?"

"Sort of. Xiao'er nodded, and then she heard a strange sound in the sky, and the two of them looked up at the same time.

In the north, a black cloud is slowly approaching.

Xiao'er remembered that insects have phototaxis, and when this group of locusts came, it was exactly evening, and it was about to get dark, so wouldn't it be just right to use fire to trap them?

"Brother Shangguan, quick, let's quickly inform the people to use fire to trap these locusts!" Xiao'er couldn't wait to knock on her head, why didn't she think of this method in advance!

Xiao'er took Shangguan Xuanyi's hand, and the two quickly ran under the tree, untied the reins, and then turned over and got on the horse to inform.

Xiao'er went back to the city directly to inform the county magistrate, and asked the county magistrate to send someone to inform him.

Shangguan Xuanyi rode a horse to various villages to inform.

He first went to the nearest village to find the village chief and asked the village chief to tell the people in the village to make some torches and build some bonfires to trap locusts.

When the village chief heard this, he also thought that it was better to burn the locusts with a torch than to beat them with a broom, so he took the copper pot and beat the gong and drum to inform the villagers.

"Village chief, please send someone to inform the village chiefs of several nearby villages about this method! Let's go to a farther village to inform!" Shangguan Xuanyi said to the village chief before getting on the horse.

"Okay, okay, I will. This is related to the villagers' rations in the second half of the year, and he naturally does not dare to be sloppy.

Xiao'er came to the city gate, when it was not yet dark, and the sky was full of locusts flying all the way.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city were holding brooms and constantly beating the locusts flying in the air, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Xiao'er looked up and saw the county magistrate standing on the city and waving a broomstick, and she flew directly from the horse, which made the county magistrate dumbfounded.

This Princess Rui's martial arts are so high! She is such a high martial artist for a woman, and she still doesn't let him live as a weak scholar!

Xiao'er ignored the dumbness of the county order, and directly ordered: "Lord of the county order, immediately send someone to inform all villages, use torches and bonfires to trap locusts tonight, and build as many bonfires as possible! We must work hard to kill all these locusts in Xiangtang County!"

The county magistrate looked at the locusts flying everywhere, and after listening to Xiao'er's words, he felt that she was making a fool again!

"Imperial Princess, these locusts are more than thousands, this ...... Isn't it a bit unrealistic to hunt and kill all of them in Xiangtang County?"

"This is an order! You follow my instructions and send down the order, so that the villagers of the entire county will use bonfires to trap locusts these few nights! If you can't keep all these locusts in Xiangtang County, you can wash your neck and wait to cut off your head!" Xiao'er looked at him and said coldly.

The most annoying thing about her is that she has no ability, and she doesn't listen to others' teachings, and she is a self-righteous person, and this county order is such a person.

"Chen, let's make arrangements!" The county magistrate was so frightened by Xiao'er's gaze and tone that he felt his neck flutter! He quickly trembled his legs and ran down to find the head catcher to make arrangements.

God, where did this kill god come from, to give him such an impossible task!

Didn't she know that locusts could fly, and how to kill them all!

God, come here and poison all these locusts!

Xiao'er naturally didn't know what the county magistrate was doing at the moment.

She jumped onto her horse, then returned to the inn to find the willows and bayberry, and asked them to ride to inform the villagers who were farther away.

Locusts should soon be all over the county.

Yang Liu and Yang Mei hurriedly took the order and left.

After they left, Xiao'er went into the space and took out a wooden basin, filled a basin with space water, dripped a few drops of venom into it, and then harvested a large pile of grass in the pasture, soaked the grass in the wooden basin, and then left the inn again on horseback.
