Chapter 21 Mingzhen Yunei
Pei Min is not alarmist, but based on his knowledge of locusts, he made a conclusion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this world, most people think that locusts are fish and shrimp, and only he, a later generation, knows the characteristics of locusts.
At the time of the occurrence of this locust plague, Pei Min also learned some information about the locust plague in history and studied some things.
Because the ancients did not understand locusts, they did not adopt the correct method when exterminating locusts, which led to the inexhaustible destruction of locusts. Coupled with the spread of various rumors and myths, I scared myself so much that I thought that the gods were haunting.
He exterminated locusts according to their characteristics and habits, and the effect was so remarkable that it stunned a group of people.
Just when everyone thought it was safe, Pei Min knew that if the rain didn't fall for a day, the locust plague would not be destroyed.
Sure enough, as Pei Min expected, the suppressed locusts showed signs of recovery again.
But Pei Min had already taken precautions, and the morale of various places was high because of the obvious results of the locust eradication, and the recovery of the locust plague was suppressed again and again.
It hasn't rained for two and a half months, Pei Min chose to sleep on the ground on a mattress by himself, although there was a beautiful wife on the bed, he couldn't stand the heat.
This night, Pei Min was sleeping soundly, and suddenly woke up the crying of Xiaoqi Xiaoba in his ears.
Hearing the movement on the side, Pei Min hurriedly got up and said, "I'll light the lamp, don't bump it, madam!" ”
He scrambled to his feet, and by the faint moonlight, he found the fire fold in the darkness and lit the candle.
Under the light of the fire, Jiao Chen, who was cool, walked quickly to the shaker, skillfully checking whether Xiao Qixiaoba was wetting the bed or hungry.
Pei Min leaned in, helped share one, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
For more than two months, he has been taking care of the locust plague, and he rarely has time to accompany Xiaoqi Xiaoba, and he feels a little raw when he hugs it. But he could see that the two little guys were very healthy, and the white and chubby ones that Jiao Chen took care of were very cute.
It is also because of Jiao Chen's presence that Pei Min is so relieved to deal with things outside.
The words "good wife and good mother" are perfectly embodied in Jiao Chen.
It is precisely because Jiao Chen is so good that Pei Min's mother never urges Pei Min to find a wife, and in Pei's mother's eyes, Jiao Chen has nothing to find fault with except for her poor background.
Especially after giving birth to Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, Pei's mother can spoil her, making Pei Min's own son jealous.
Jiao Chen shook his head and said, "I didn't wet the bed, and I didn't eat breastfeeding." It should be hot, and it's unbearably hot. ”
"You touch Hachi's back and see if you're sweating!" Jiao Chen unbuttoned Xiao Qi's clothes, and there was nothing unusual, looking at Xiao Ba in Pei Min's arms.
Pei Min touched it, and sure enough, there were some sweat stains, and said: "This kid is like me, afraid of heat!" ”
"I'm going to fetch water from a basin well!" Jiao Chen said and was about to make a move.
Pei Min hurriedly said: "I'll go, I'll go, you take care of the child." ”
After saying that, he ran out without hesitation, fetched a basin of water from the well in the backyard, and returned to the house.
Jiao Chen dipped a towel in the water, and suddenly said, "This water is not cold!" ”
Pei Min touched the temperature, and it was indeed lukewarm.
The ancient well in their house is a centuries-old well, and I heard the old people in the house say that this well is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is a rare good well.
They didn't experience the warmth of winter, but the coolness of summer is also worthy of the name.
No matter how tired he is, taking a cold shower with the ancient well water in the backyard is the happiest thing for Pei Min this summer.
Pei Min was strange at first, and then laughed, "This is what Wen Xigong said in "Forty-six Tips", the earth qi is surging, and it is going to rain!" Great, thief, it's finally gracious. ”
Jiao Chen also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "No wonder it's a little stuffy tonight, and the concubine's body is a little unbearable." ”
Pei Min hugged Jiao Chen and said, "Then sleep on the ground with your husband!" It's harder, but it's cool! ”
Jiao Chen didn't refuse, wiped off the sweat stains for Xiaoba, changed into a slightly thin clothes, and coaxed the two little guys to sleep.
The next day, the sun was still high in the sky, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.
Pei Min thought that he had seen it wrong, and it was time to eat at noon.
Suddenly, as if a tengu was eating the sun, the sky suddenly darkened.
Immediately after that, the wind blew violently, and after a while, there was a "whoosh"!
The downpour fell like hail, making the roofs crackle.
Pei Min was in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and he could hear the cheers of the people on the street.
"It's finally raining!" Pei Min couldn't help but dance his fists, this rain in the entire Longyou, the entire drought-affected area, has been looking forward to it for too long.
"Guogong ......"
"Brother Pei......"
Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Luqian, Li Linfu, Pei Chenlin, and Jiang Yue came to the door one after another.
Pei Min knew what they wanted to ask, and happily clasped his hands together and said: "Everything is as I said before, when it rains, those dry riverbeds will have enough water to replenish, and the water level will rise." In this way, the locust eggs under the ground are covered up and turned into bait for fish and shrimp. As for the larval eggs in other places, they either die or form slowly in the face of wet and rainy days, so there is nothing to fear. The plague of locusts has been lifted since this heavy rain. ”
The crowd cheered one after another: "Great! ”
Pei Min looked at Jiang Yue and said, "You can also return to the team!" However, your military cannot let down its guard for the time being, the eggs in the riverbed are no longer threatening, and there should still be many remnants on the riverbank. Although there is nothing to be feared, it is not to be taken lightly and make a mistake at this last time. ”
Because of the shortage of manpower, all the important military and political affairs are on Pei Min.
Pei Min only has the potential to squeeze the few people in the shogunate under his command, and let them do the things that several people do.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Luqian, and Li Linfu are all famous figures in history and can withstand the pressure.
Even so, there was still a shortage of manpower, Pei Min also transferred Jiang Yue, who had both civil and military skills, to be used as a civilian official for two months.
Jiang Yue shouted his order.
The rain rained for two days and two nights, feeding all the dry canals and closing the mouth of the parched earth.
Losing the soil climate adapted to thrive, large eggs die directly underground. Those who survived stubbornly did not escape the pursuit of the people.
After nearly a month and a half of hunting, the people realized the wonderful effect of locusts on poultry, fish and birds, and in turn hoped that there would be more locusts.
After another ten days, there was hardly a large-scale shadow of locusts in the entire Longyou.
The vigorous locust plague was eliminated, and Pei Min's successful deeds of exterminating locusts soon spread all over the world.
It caused a shock and uproar among people all over the world.
Fight with the sky, and win!
As the country with the most frequent locust plagues, China has experienced no less than 1,000 large and small locust plagues from ancient times to the present.
Since there have been historical records, there has never been a time when it has been properly governed, but Pei Min, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the envoy of the inspection department, actually led the people to suppress the locust plague with manpower and defeated the natural disaster.
The sensation caused by this incident can be imagined.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even everyone in the whole world, were shocked and incredible.
The name Pei Min is once again famous in Zhenyu.
