Chapter 134: Aftermath

The effect of the show is very good, at least Li Er is very satisfied, there are locusts flying together everywhere in the whole Guanzhong, gnawing and eating all the plants that can be seen, but the green plants in Chang'an City still maintain their vigorous vitality, and they have not been harmed by the locusts at all, and everyone who sees all this thinks that this is the heavens that have responded to Li Er's request and sent down the blessings.

Of course, it is impossible for the ministers of the DPRK and China to know that Jia Yi actually has a piece of land that has not been invaded by locusts, but at the moment, as long as he walks out of Chang'an City, he can see a large number of locusts flying everywhere, and it is estimated that no important minister of the DPRK and China is willing to go out of the pure land of Chang'an to check the disaster situation in other places.

The locust plague began to break out, that is, the final stage, all the locusts began the final devouring stage, whether it was Jia Yi's peanut field or Chang'an City, they all became the main targets of the locusts, but in the face of the locust plague, even if the locusts had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, they could not avoid the end of disease and death.

Locusts themselves can't survive for too long, as long as they grow into mature individuals, if they still have something to eat, they can last for a month, if they don't eat, then they will die in three or two days, after all, it is really difficult to store enough energy in such a small body for their body to consume.

After gnawing all the plants in Gyeonggi Province, the locusts had nothing to eat, and soon a large number of locusts began to die, and the locust plague ended at this time.

It was early summer, and it should have been the best season for the grass to be green and red, but when people walked out of Chang'an City, they would find that there was still any beautiful scenery in the world, all of which were yellow, even if it was a big tree that was once luxuriant, now only the bare trunk remained, and the slightly tender branches were eaten cleanly.

The evil name on Li Er's head was completely removed because of a strategy not to teach locusts to enter Chang'an, but all the people in the entire pass still had to bear huge losses after the locust plague, and every household had no extra grain as seeds to replant, so no matter whether it was food to eat or food used as seeds, it needed to be distributed by the imperial court, and the people who ate a bite were staying at home waiting for the relief of the imperial court, and the people who had been hungry for several days began to run around the world. Look for a place where you can give them a bite to eat.

Qin Huaiyu's work is about to start, in order to ensure that there are no problems in the whole process of disaster relief, he directly tied Jia Yi to his side regardless of 3721, and gave him advice, whenever he saw Jia Yi walking beside him on horseback, his heart would inexplicably settle down, although it could already be called an apocalyptic scene in front of him, but he still had a smile on his face.

Jia Yi was depressed, although it is early summer now, no matter what summer it is, as long as it is summer, it must be synonymous with heat, and the big summer is advancing under the scorching sun with a big sun, which is really not a wonderful thing, the key is that this errand is not his own, even if he does a good job in disaster relief, he does not have a dime of credit.

"Hehe, Brother Jia, you said that you have been married to your sister-in-law for several months, why haven't you moved yet." Qin Huaiyu has not yet married, on the one hand, he is not old enough, and on the other hand, Qin Qiong thinks that the emperor will give him a princess, so he is not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law for Qin Huaiyu, but don't look at him yet, but he knows everything about women.

There are seven or eight Qinglou in Chang'an City alone, even if Qin Huaiyu used to be a stuffy gourd, but there is a demon brother like Cheng Chumo, if he has never been to the Qinglou, then there is really a ghost.

Jia Yi glanced at Qin Huaiyu angrily, pouted and said, "It's your business." ”

Pregnancy seems simple, and even many people just hit a shot, and the good news came, but who knows, the probability of conceiving a child is very low, although it is much higher than the probability of buying a lottery ticket, but it definitely does not mean that you can conceive it.

"Look at what you said, why is it none of my business, when your first child is born, I will send you a congratulatory gift."

After getting along for such a long time, Qin Huaiyu has already figured out Jia Yi's temperament, maybe he doesn't care much about other things, but when it comes to money, he will definitely look forward to it with bright eyes.

"Tell me what kind of congratulatory gift you will give first, and I'll see if it's worth my hard work."

"How about you look at this?" Qin Huaiyu took out a pendant from his body, this pendant was green and crystal clear, and it was extraordinary at first glance.

Jia Yiyi's eyes were straight, he had grown so big, and he had seen a lot of jade, but the real good jade had only been seen on TV or the news, and he had seen it with his own eyes, this may be the first time.

"Give it to me now, and when the time comes, I'll trouble you to run it yourself." Jia rode a horse to Qin Huaiyu's side, and stretched out his hands to take the pendant that Qin Huaiyu was holding high.

"Are you sure?"

"Ah......h

Before Jia Yi's words came out, the pendant crossed a parabola and fell into his hand, and he hurriedly took the pendant and held it in his hand, Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, such a good thing, Qin Huaiyu, a loser, actually said to throw it away, Jia Yi really wanted to teach him a good lesson instead of Qin Qiong: "Is there any, throw more here." ”

Holding the pendant in his hand, Jia Yi found something different, it seemed that the emerald was a little too deep, and the scope of the emerald was too big and too regular, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, Jia Yi remembered Qin Huaiyu's strange expression just now, and couldn't help but look up at Qin Huaiyu, and sure enough, he saw a treacherous expression on his face.

"What's going on?"

"Haha, I thought you Jia Yi wouldn't be deceived, it turns out that you are so easy to deceive, you can look carefully, is this jade?"

Jia Yi was shocked when he heard this, and carefully checked it again, this look really made him find something different, the texture of jade is generally soft, but this pendant feels a hard feeling, this feeling Jia Yi once felt, that is, when the first piece of glass was produced, thinking of this, he suddenly realized that this thing is glass.

At this time, Jia Yi reacted, it seemed that adding some elements to the glass could indeed produce something very similar to jade, but he really couldn't remember what the elements were.

"Huaiyu, can I take back what I just said?" How cheap the glass is, Jia Yi knows it clearly, if the birth of his first child is such a congratulatory gift, when the child grows up, it is really hard to imagine how he will point to his head and say that he is stupid.

"After all the words are said, can it be that Brother Jia still wants to return?"

Seeing Qin Huaiyu smiling back and forth, Jia Yi hatefully put the glass pendant into his arms, and swore from the bottom of his heart that this kind of deceived thing can only happen once in a lifetime.

There is no clear place for Qin Huaiyu's disaster relief this time, anyway, the entire Guanzhong is a disaster area, and they will see a lot of disaster victims when they walk to a random place, and it will be good to carry out disaster relief under the leadership of the county order at that time.

A group of people first came to Wannian County, which is not very far from Chang'an City, as the county seat around Chang'an City, there are rich restaurants and inn resources, but due to the emergence of locust plagues, the output value of these two industries has declined sharply, and the decline in inn business is because no one will rush to Chang'an when the sky is full of locusts, as for the restaurant, it is because there is not enough food and vegetables to buy at all, and the only thing that can be provided is drinking water.

When he came to the county seat of Wannian County, the first thing Qin Huaiyu asked about the county order was not how many victims there were in Wannian County, but what work in Wannian County needed to be done recently.

The county order had already prepared all the necessary rhetoric, but after Qin Huaiyu's words came out, he was directly asked, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Qin Huaiyu: "Lord Qiqi Commander, the road from Wannian County to Chang'an City has not been repaired for many years, and now it is full of potholes, and it needs a lot of people to repair it." ”

"Very well, what you have to do now is to classify all the victims, and count all the strong laborers in the prime of life, and tell them that if they are willing to repair the road, they will receive a bucket of food every day, and as for the others, it is good to follow the old calendar."

The old calendar is two bowls of gruel a day, and if you can't eat enough, you can't starve to death, anyway, you can make do with life, and those strong laborers can indeed receive a bucket of rice through a whole day's labor, that is to say, regardless of whether he eats it himself or his family, three meals a day are dry, and there is absolutely no problem with being full.

"Wechen will do it."

After seeing the county order leave, Qin Huaiyu asked Jia Yi beside him: "Is that what you mean?" ”

"Well, it's almost, but you can still be flexible, such as women cooking for those strong laborers, children helping or something, in short, let them know one thing, that is, if they want to eat alms, they can only go hungry, and only through their own labor can they live a good life, and only in this way can those people who have nothing to do all day have something to do, and ensure that they don't have any moths when you are in disaster relief."

Although the locust plague is not as good as an earthquake or a flood, and it can provide a lot of work for the people without looking for it, the locust plague also has the benefits of the locust plague, at least it can continue to plant, and it can also free up a lot of labor for construction, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
