Looking at the black on the horizon, it was like the end of the world.

"Are you coming?"

Li Chengqian muttered.

This is also the first time Li Chengqian has seen this kind of situation, but he is not worried at all, what are you kidding, the people in the entire Chang'an City are less than a million, this kind of population density, one person does not need too much, as long as a thousand locusts are killed, then there are more than a billion people.

If there are more, there will be tens of billions, and no matter how many locusts come, they will become prey in the hands of people.

This is the incomparable existence of a small city.

Locusts dare to commit crimes, and they deserve it

Buzz Buzz ......

Countless locusts flapping their wings are really annoying.

They were like a large army pressing the border, and they seemed to speed up a little in the face of the green crops outside Chang'an City.

These crops are people's hope for the year ahead, but in their eyes, they are delicious food. They have no consciousness, they only eat!

Suddenly, they picked up speed and pounced, their greedy nature revealed.

The whole sky has been clouded by them, and the sense of oppression has followed.

Eventually, they descended from the sky and reached the edge of the field, where a black patch directly obscured the nearby plants.

Where it should be, not an inch of grass is left.

Terrible, terrible!

Some of the locusts had already begun to nibble at nearby plants, and the sharp chewing sound spread, which was a neat rhythm.

At the same time, all the people were also dispatched, some with nets, some with baskets, some with sacks, and some with whole families in the crowd. And the old man and the old lady also came out to help.

When the first wave of locusts arrived, they were quickly caught by the people at the front.

"It's too much, it's full straight down the net!"

"Caught! I caught five pounds! ”

Because of the large number, this basket is directly full of locusts.

"Look, that net, I'm afraid there are hundreds of catties!"

"Nope! You see, the locusts are densely packed, and there must be a thousand catties! ”

What's even more powerful is that the net went down and directly captured nearly 1,000 catties of locusts.

The locusts were packed in sacks.

Obviously, this is the first victory.

This short-lived victory gave confidence to people, but the captured locusts were only the tip of the iceberg. The real army is still in the rear.

Despite this, the jet black is directly less than half.

Suddenly, the locusts scattered and headed in all directions, seemingly adopting a different tactic.

A large number of locusts descended to the ground and began to eat away at the crops on the ground.

"Rush, brothers!"

Cheng Yanjin took the lead at this time, pulled up a big net, and pounced on the locusts.

The soldiers also began to prop up a large net, aiming at a large number of locusts flying in, a large number of locusts were trapped in the net, and at this time, a special person brought a sack and began to receive the locusts on the net. It was quickly filled with sacks, which were transported to one place for further processing.

In just ten minutes, thousands of sacks were already filled, which was terrifying.

"It's a victory, everyone, come on!"

Cheng Biting Jin shouted.

He saw hope.

The people of the moment are also joining in, and more and more locusts are being caught.

Over time, sacks are piled aside, eventually stacked into a form the size of a hill.

It's just a moment.

And some of the soldiers said:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the five thousand sacks we prepared have been completely filled!"

Seeing that there were still a large number of locusts in the sky that had not been caught, but the sacks had already been used up, it was obvious that this was beyond the scope of Li Chengqian's imagination.

Accidents, everything is an accident.

"What should I do?"

The ministers did not expect this to happen, and the first thing that came to mind was what to do?

But I saw that Li Chengqian was the appearance of an old god.

He is not in a hurry at all, which makes everyone wonder.

Does he have a trick up his sleeve? It looks like this, it seems like this.

That's right, Li Chengqian said:

"Someone! Throw the sacks of locusts into the moat and pour them all together when the locusts die! , waiting to be processed! The empty sack is loaded! ”

This is what Li Chengqian can do, because there are only two ways to do it, one is to add new sacks, but the number will definitely not be able to go up in a short time, and the second is to empty the sacks containing locusts. The only way to free the sack is to take into account the problem of locusts, and the only way to do it is to let them all die, and the only way to make them die seems to be to flood.

The soldiers immediately went down and began to drown the locusts in the moat with the crowd.

And cleared a clearing, and put the dead locusts together, so that it looked quite shocking.

This is probably the first time people have been confronted with these locust piles. Pile upon pile, like a hill.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we have sacks!"

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that it was someone from the Zheng family.

At this moment they trotted over, with a large number of sacks in their hands.

"Huh?"

The leader was Zheng Peng, who said: "We heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was making sacks, and we thought that it would always be right to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, so we asked people to make 3,000 sacks overnight to support His Royal Highness the Prince." Help Chang'an get out of the disaster! ”

Li Chengqian was pleased.

"So, hard work!"

"And us! His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

It was Zou Fengchi's voice, and he also came over with people from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce at this time.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we can provide 8,000 sacks! It's already been partially shipped! And people from the Chamber of Commerce will also join in the capture. ”

Obviously, Chang'an is good, everyone is good.

The people are good, and business is good, so these people don't want locusts to plague Chang'an.

"Good! Thank you very much! ”

This is what Li Chengqian expected, everyone is in the same boat, if you don't help us, who will?

Look around these people again.

The Lu family and the Cui family did not come, and these two families were still very selfish. But with them or not, they don't seem to affect the final result at all.

Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to it, and people saw it.

"Let's get started! We will win! ”

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian also threw himself into it, and Li Shimin on the side looked at it and couldn't help nodding.

Everyone is united, what is the locust plague?

Suddenly, someone saw a mountain of locusts and asked:

"What to do with these locusts? It's not the way to keep piling up! ”

If they die for a long time, they will definitely deteriorate, and the stench they emit will definitely have an impact on the environment. Li Chengqian didn't seem to say what to do with them.

When Li Chengqian heard it, when he saw it, it turned out that Liu Hongji was asking.

Li Chengqian smiled.

"Guess!".

Liu Hongji almost vomited blood when he heard this.

If so, would he still ask? He was speechless for a moment.
