In the quiet of the night, time flies.

Before you know it, it's the middle of the night.

Tonight, there was a moon hanging high in the sky, and the moon was bent and just came out of the clouds.

Suddenly, from the distance of the eastern sky, there seemed to be a large area of dark clouds.

As it got closer, the dark clouds moved extremely fast, and in a short time they came to the sky above everyone's heads.

There was a faint "squeaking" noise from the distance in the sky, and it became louder and louder as the dark clouds that almost covered the sky came!

Everyone was awakened in an instant, and one by one they looked at the dense black dots that swept in the sky and were like dark clouds, and suddenly screamed!

"Ahh The plague of locusts is coming! ”

"Ignition! Let all the bonfires in the middle of the main square be lit at once! ”

"Hurry, otherwise, it will be too late!"

"Get those chickens, ducks and geese out there!"

"Immediately prepare to use a large net to catch these locusts as soon as possible!" ……

There were many people who saw this scene, and everyone screamed loudly, and everyone present heard it, and in a blink of an eye, it spread all over the village.

In the blink of an eye, a roar immediately erupted in the entire large farm.

The people began to run quickly, and the bonfire immediately began to ignite, and in the huge light that suddenly rose, there were many figures.

Everyone's exclamations, running sounds...... All of a sudden, it resounded across the land!

Almost half of the farmers on these big farms, the older ones, have experienced locust plagues.

The scene that swept everything and the place where it passed was a mess is still fresh in everyone's memory.

In the past dynasties, after every locust plague, the rural areas where disasters occurred were basically empty.

Countless people died of starvation, and it is one of the natural disasters that is basically unsolvable.

Even in Zhu Youxiao's previous life, in that modern society where science and technology were also developed, locust plagues occurred from time to time in various countries in the world, and it was impossible to eradicate them.

However, fortunately, over the years, more than ninety percent of the locust plagues in the Han Empire have occurred in the north of the Yangtze River, and locust plagues basically do not occur in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are very few locust plagues.

If the imperial court at that time had been more powerful, most of them would have been able to mobilize a large amount of grain from the south to the north, so as not to collapse most of the imperial courts of all dynasties.

But after each locust plague, food becomes the most scarried commodity, and its price skyrockets.

Ordinary people simply can't afford to buy much food, and it is inevitable that most people will suffer from natural disasters.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Zhu Youxiao held a +3 tweeter in his hand and shouted loudly, "We have been prepared for a long time, these locusts are not terrible!" ”

"Although it is impossible not to lose a little, we have so many people, as long as we strictly follow the previous plan and keep more than 90% of the harvest, there is still no problem."

Looking at the crowd in front of him, who were still a little flustered, Zhu Youxiao was angry, exhaled, and sent his voice clearly to the ears of various villagers.

"Every household has taken out the big nets that have been distributed in the past few days and prepared them, and when the locusts arrive, everyone, including women, children, and children, as long as they can walk, will go to catch the locusts!" “

"I have already ordered that every pound of locusts can be exchanged for a penny, and those who don't want to act should be arrested by me immediately, and I will not raise those wastes who have no guts!"

"Also, tonight, immediately drive all the chickens, ducks, and geese into the fields, and let them have a full meal in the next few days, and it is estimated that when the locust plague passes, all the poultry will be much fatter, and the eggs will be nearly doubled." Reading the Book House

"In the end, when those locusts pounce down, nearly half of them will go to those bonfires, and our bonfires have already been lit, it is easy to burn them to death, don't panic."

"Remember, anyone must remember these few things, and if someone fails to carry them out, they will be arrested immediately, and I will be sent to the mine to dig a mine for a lifetime, and there will be no salary!"

In the end, Zhu Youxiao's voice had become gloomy, and all the bankers were scared to say anything.

He knew that in many parts of the world in the future, there were still many similar "insect temples".

In this era, there are too many ordinary people who regard the locust plague as the wrath of heaven, and do not want to go to eliminate the locusts by all means, but pay tribute every day during and before and after the locust plague.

In the end, most of them were helplessly starved to death, which was really tragic.

The army of locusts was about to descend, and Zhu Youxiao stopped being verbose, and then ended his speech and looked at everyone quietly.

"! Fight! ”

"I can't care so much about it! Fight with those locusts! ”

"Locusts can eat our crops, and we can catch them!" ……

After a while, as I don't know who was the first to speak, the group feelings of the soldiers and civilians at the scene were ignited, and everyone began to shout.

After all, being able to live in this big farm like heaven is something that everyone never imagined before, where would they be willing to be caught in the mine for labor reform and go to mining in the dark?

What's more, the folk of the Ming Empire have long been rumored that His Majesty the Emperor has encountered real immortals and been enlightened by immortals.

Since even the emperor is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of with his own cheap life.

In fear, as the first locust swooped down from the sky, it was discovered by a farmer, and one by one the farmer and the soldiers came to the field, holding a net about five square feet.

Next to everyone, there were large cloth bags used to hold locusts, and everyone was holding their breath and began to wait for the battle.

In the midst of the wild flight of chickens, ducks and geese, more than 30,000 poultry of all kinds were also driven to the fields one after another.

"Buzzing" ......

Without letting everyone wait long, a sound of insects sounded, and under the reflection of the starlight and a round of the Xuanyue, a large black shadow swept from the sky, and the whole sky was covered in a short time.

The locusts that were already extremely hungry in the sky had just pounced on the first batch, and the latter had come one after another, and they were no worse than the torrential rain that had fallen suddenly.

A large part of them swooped down on the campfires and were quickly burned to death, and nearly half of the locusts swooped down on the fields of the large farm.

"Go and light the bonfires at the four corners of the main square, quick!"

Seeing that the locust plague was so ferocious at the beginning, Zhu Youxiao knew that he still underestimated the scale of this locust plague.

"Boom!" ……

As four bonfires were lit at all four corners of the main square, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered: "Start catching locusts, act immediately!" ”

With that, he waved a special large net with a radius of one meter, and was the first to rush towards the army of locusts that pounced.

He faced a black shadow that fell down, his right hand suddenly waved, and then shook from side to side, just in a dozen breaths, he caught more than ten catties of locusts!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had already begun to act, everyone did not dare to slack off at all, and they all rushed forward with shouts, waving the nets in their hands non-stop.

In particular, the soldiers of the Intelligence Bureau were all flushed and excited.

A one-of-a-kind battle with this legendary creature is something that no one has ever thought about.

Therefore, the soldiers all seemed very excited.

Anyway, with His Majesty the Emperor taking the lead, everyone has nothing to fear.
