In later generations, when I was idle and bored to scroll through my mobile phone, I also saw the appearance of the African locust plague, but whether it was from the size of the locusts or the degree of inundation, it could not be compared with the scene in front of me.

A few dark clouds in the sky just landed on a verdant hill for a few seconds, and then they rose into the air again. When the crushed locusts flew away, all that was left was desolation.

Grass, leaves, and even part of the bark were eaten by locusts.

Li Chengqian watched as the dark clouds that had just taken off swooped down again, and it was estimated that the mountain just now could not even reach two mouthfuls per locust on average. In the face of numbers, even the earth that gave birth to locusts had to succumb.

Fang Sheng was already going crazy, because he found that there were so many clumps of locusts that were not going to die, and they flew towards this side. In a hurry, he immediately pushed the prince into the tent, and at this time, it was estimated that the house was not safe.

The two thousand princes personally drew their swords, not to kill the locusts, but to protect the prince from being threatened.

The exercise during this period of time was effective, and it was difficult for Fang Sheng to push Li Chengqian.

Pointing at Liao Zhong, Li Chengqian said loudly: "Don't open the cage yet, but when!" ”

Liao Zhong, who was already frightened by the scene in front of him, came back to his senses and ordered the guys from the farm to open the chicken pen. The sound of locusts flying was deafening, and many birds were already panicking.

Under the pleading of the hammer, Li Chengqian had to enter the tent, and then look at the situation outside through the heavy gauze.

Unload.

Watching the scene of the locust landing, Li Chengqian's mind only had such a word.

The locusts that swooped down on the ground were really like goods that had been dumped by carts.

Layers of locusts were stacked on top of each other, and the soldiers led by the prince simply put down their horizontal knives and stepped on them with their feet intently. At this time, even with the feet, it is faster than the horizontal knife, not to mention that the sight of the locusts flying around is blocked, and it is easy to hurt the companion when the horizontal knife is wielded.

The poultry in the farm were released, and I still remember that when I first farmed, the food was not enough to feed, and many chickens were not fat even if they were free-range. Now there is no need to worry, whether it is flying in the sky, climbing on the ground, or hanging on the branches, it is their food.

The locusts came quickly and flew away, and after the roar faded away and he walked out of the tent, Li Chengqian had to ask Sun Simiao, who had taken refuge in the house, for medicine. Who knew that the locusts were in a hurry and still bitten, and many of the soldiers who had just been exposed were bitten. Those who were not bitten were also cut by the thorns on the legs of the locusts.

Locusts that fly around and eat whatever they see will obviously carry something unclean. Therefore, before taking the medicine, Li Chengqian deliberately ordered everyone to use alcohol as a disinfectant to disinfect the wound first.

Looking at the direction in which the locusts left, Sun Simiao said with palpitations: "In the past, the old man was still wondering about the cause of the epidemic after the catastrophe, but now it seems that if your analysis of the causes of the disease is good, the locust plague is indeed one of the ways in which the epidemic spreads!" ”

Glancing at the warehouse, which was safe and sound under the protection of the soldiers, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Let's start, Sun Daochang, the kid is ready to use this farm as a base to receive the people to disperse the grain." ”

Sun Simiao agreed, and then began to wander away with the Taoist priests of Laojunguan.

This time out of the palace, Li Chengqian deliberately asked the emperor's father for a thousand forbidden army guards, not to protect himself, but to wander around the countryside and take a walk. 手机端 一秒記住→.\B\\\\.\\為你提供精彩\novel說薱讀。

- Wannian County County

He Shou watched as his courtyard was filled with locusts, and then the locusts flew away, leaving bare branches. He wanted to be a good official, although he was determined to establish proud feats, but he absolutely did not want his feats to be based on disasters such as locust plagues. No matter what the disaster, it is always the people who will suffer!

It wasn't until the locusts flew away that he staggered out of the county office, and there was already a cry on the street. Everything today is like a dream, who would have thought that locusts, who had trampled to death many times on weekdays, could have such might.

At the gate of Wannian County, where the cry shook the sky, he suddenly rode out, and after seeing the people, Le Ma shouted at the top of his voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, from now on, as long as the people of Wannian County catch locusts, drown them and send them to the farm, they can exchange them for grain and meat." Fifty catties of locusts or ten catties of dried locusts can be exchanged for one catty of grain, if there are old and weak people who are unable to catch locusts, they do not need to exchange, they can directly receive food! ”

After shouting at the city gate, the knight drove his horse forward, trying to spread the news everywhere.

Every time it passed through a place, it could cause a louder howl, among which the person who had received the compensation from the East Palace before was the most.

When the locust plague started, it was when they were worried about their future rations and worried that someone in their family would starve to death, but they didn't expect that someone came directly with good news.

Locusts for food? Change! Now, the whole world is full of locusts, and as long as there are hands, feet, and bags, who can't catch a whole bunch of them?

After making up their minds, many people went into their homes and pounced on the locusts in the woods that were still eating the bark of the trees, with all kinds of tools.

After the knight passed through the county government of Wannian County, the chief bookkeeper, Nie Yongsheng, said with tears in his eyes: "Wrong! Wrong! The prince's farm raises chickens and ducks to exterminate locusts, which apparently flew from other places. In our neighboring county, the seedlings in the fields have been plagued by locusts, and only our seedlings here still have a little green. It's just a pity that locusts will fly to the next place after eating this thing in one place. Even if we raise poultry here, we can only prevent local locusts, not foreign ones. ”

He Shou stretched out his hand and twitched his face fiercely, gritted his teeth and said to the chief bookkeeper and the others: "If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences." The official was ready to enter Chang'an and went to the gate of the East Palace to plead guilty. Therefore, the matter of organizing the people of the county to catch locusts in exchange for rations will trouble you! ”

The chief bookkeeper hurriedly agreed.

After making the order, He Shou did not hesitate to go back and take off his shirt, and with the help of his wife, he put on the thorn strip on his back, and did not ride a horse or a car, so he walked towards Chang'an on foot.

As a client, he clearly knows how his actions have affected the prince. Now that the truth is revealed, in addition to guilt, there is also a deep sense of gratitude in his heart.

Although the prince's food needs to be exchanged for locusts, it is equivalent to giving it away for nothing in this season when locusts are everywhere.

What's more, he has been a county magistrate for many years, so he naturally knows the reason why the prince emphasized exchanging locusts for food. If this is not done, as long as the locusts rage for two more days, the people should do everything in their panic, even to the extent of worshipping the locusts as gods.
