Ming Zhao sighed without a trace, and then pretended to look at Feng Shanyue relaxedly, "Do you still use that bronze mirror of yours tonight?"

Feng Shanyue had been using the phoenix-patterned bronze mirror to get rid of locusts for two consecutive nights, and the effect was as good as she expected. She www.biquge.info reflected the light from the bronze mirror onto the pool, and the locusts jumped desperately into the water as if they were crazy. Even the locusts that had not yet grown wings crawled over one after another, and the effect was much better than that of the villagers.

"Of course you have to use it, haven't you noticed that there have been a lot fewer locusts in the past two days?"

Ming Zhao nodded, "If you look at it this way, in another month, the locusts will be basically wiped out." I can also start working on disaster relief with Dai-sama. ”

Feng Shanyue nodded, "Okay, you are busy with disaster relief, and I will leave the matter of catching locusts to me!"

Jicheng.

A fast horse rushed into the city gate, and the guards at the city gate were startled, but after looking at the people on the horse, they immediately calmed down, what is it for Prince Tangchang to ride a fast horse to rush to the city gate? A fool would stop him!

Zichang rode to the front of the mansion, turned over and dismounted, and immediately ran into the mansion quickly. He walked straight to the prince's residence, and it was no surprise that the prince must be drinking and having fun with the beauties offered in Jicheng at this moment.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, drink, just drink this cup in the hands of the slave family, okay?"

"Good, good!" the prince laughed, nothing is good in this Jicheng, only this beauty is good. The skin is like snow, soft and boneless, and the key is particularly charming. He has been here for almost two months, drinking and having fun with these beauties every day, and he has lived a leisurely life.

"See Brother Prince!"

"Who?" the prince was disturbed, a little upset. He squinted and looked at the person standing in front of him with drunken eyes, "It turned out to be the third brother! You came back so soon? Did something happen to Yudi?"

He sent Zichang to Yudi to find Ming Zhao, in addition to letting him listen to the news, the most important thing was to sabotage, so that Ming Zhao could not cure the disaster, but cause trouble. But this guy has only been gone for a few days and ran back, what a lack of success and more than failure!

"Brother Prince, Little Brother, after I arrived in Yudi, I visited everywhere and found that the locust plague there had been basically controlled. ”

"What?" the prince pushed away the beauty leaning on his body, straightened up and glared at Zichang, "How is it possible? I asked the people from the Si Agricultural Bureau, and they said that there is no way to control the locust plague, and the beating is only a symptomatic treatment." Could it be that the locust plague over there in Yucheng is not serious at all?"

Zichang shook his head, "It shouldn't be." I also inquired privately with the local people, and the local locust plague is as good as the thistle field. But since the second brother ...... Belch...... After the man went, things gradually improved. ”

The prince stood up in surprise, he had always been convinced that the locust plague could not be cured, so when he arrived in Jicheng, he closed the door, and only let the officials of Jicheng take the people to fight the locusts and make a show, anyway, in the end, he always had to rely on the relief of the imperial court to get through this difficulty. Unexpectedly, Ming Zhao actually found a way to deal with the locust plague.

"How did they do it?"

Zichang told him about the disaster control method he saw in Yudi, and the prince immediately asked people to find the officials of Jicheng City, and asked him to implement the method that Zichang said, and suppress the locust plague as soon as possible.

After the city official received the order to go out, Zichang said in a low voice: "Brother Prince, I still have something to do!"

The prince glanced at him, waved his hand, and let those charming women go down, "What's the matter?"

Zichang smiled and put his mouth in his ear and said. The more the prince listened, the more surprised he became, but then he became more and more smiling.

He patted Zichang on the shoulder, "Sure enough, you are smart and capable, it seems that my decision to send you to Yudi is very correct." ”

Zichang smiled modestly, "The younger brother is just following his brother's orders." ”

"Don't worry, as long as I can be a merchant in the future, I will definitely give you the most fertile and wealthy fief. ”

"Brother Xie!"

Yucheng.

Fengshan Yue has been busy for more than half a month, and finally the locusts have been almost eliminated, and the chickens and ducks in the duck shed have also grown fat and tender, which is much better than the chickens and ducks fed by the common people.

"Miss, are we going to bring these chickens and ducks back to the Fire Phoenix Country?" Butterfly Wu looked at the duck shed with some worry, she couldn't imagine herself and Feng Shanyue driving a convoy of chickens and ducks back.

"Of course not. Feng Shanyue smiled, "I have already agreed with Boss Lu, and these chickens and ducks will all be handed over to them to deal with." ”

"Aren't they grain stores? and they don't sell chickens and ducks, how do you deal with them?"

"I have a recipe!"

Butterfly Dance pursed her lips, every time Feng Shanyue said this, it meant that she didn't plan to tell herself what this "magic formula" was.

"Let's go, go back to the city. Today, my brother and they have already started distributing relief food, so let's go see if there is anyone who needs help. ”

"Good!"

The two rode back to Yucheng and came to the official warehouse, where many people had already gathered, each with a bag or bamboo basket in their hands, and they all heard the notice of the government and came to receive relief food. Because the official warehouse has abundant food, the mood of the people is very stable, and no one is worried about not receiving food.

"Listen, everyone, everyone lined up from village to this side to get food, and then to go there to get bean seeds. Dai Da stood on the high grain pile and said loudly.

When the common people heard his words, they immediately began to talk about it.

"What? And the bean seeds?"

"What does that mean?"

"I thought I came today to receive relief food, but I didn't expect the government to be so generous, and there are other things to give!"

Dai Daren cleared his throat and said, "This bean seed is not for everyone to eat, after everyone takes it back, they will plant it in their own fields." Our rice this year has been plagued by locusts, although the government will not ignore you, but you can't leave the fields there for more than half a year. Therefore, Prince Zhao specially transferred bean seeds from other places and distributed them to you according to the number of acres of your fields. These bean seeds are all good beans, good living and good seeds, although they are not as good as rice, but they can also subsidize some food for the family. ”

"That's great!"

"Sure enough, it's Prince Zhao, who can actually think of sending us bean seeds. ”

"That is, in fact, I also thought of planting beans, but we usually don't grow many beans, and we finally took back a few beans, and they were all mixed with food rations, and the rest of them were not enough to plant. ”

"The government has done us a great favor!"

Feng Shanyue smiled and walked towards Ming Zhao, who was standing next to the bean seed at the moment, carefully examining the beans.

"How did you come up with the idea of letting the common people grow beans?"

Ming Zhao raised his head and smiled, "Before I came here, I specially asked the officials of the Si Agricultural Department for advice, and they taught me this method. ”

"That's a good idea,......"

Feng Shanyue was about to praise him, when she suddenly saw a group of royal forest soldiers striding over, and the leader was an attendant. As soon as he saw Ming Zhao, he immediately dismounted and walked over, "Prince Zhao, Shang Jun is urgently summoned!"
