Chapter 130: The Commander of the Locusts
Jia Yi didn't know why Qin Qiong wanted to give such an order, but seeing Qin Qiong's majestic face, Jia Yi didn't dare to ask, if he didn't let in, he wouldn't enter, and spread a circle of locust plague around Chang'an City, how many locusts died, and one wanted to fly into Chang'an City.
Bowing back, Jia Yi and Zhang Daren quickly found Qin Huaiyu.
Now Qin Huaiyu is the second person to receive the emperor's official position, the first is Cheng Chumo, that kid has already started to follow his father to join the army when he was fourteen years old, and now he is already a captain of Zhiguo, and he is a whole level higher than the Xuanjie captain of Jia Yidang at the beginning, which is all the credit of military merits.
Now Qin Huaiyu has also obtained an official position, although he is only a locust commander, as long as he can ensure that the locusts do not enter Chang'an as Qin Qiong said, then a seven-rank official will definitely fall on his head properly.
"Huaiyu, it's quite majestic."
Qin Huaiyu was trying out the official mansion, dressed in green clothes and wearing a black gauze hat, although he looked young, he really had a little taste of being an official.
"Brother Jia, you can be regarded as here, just now the emperor suddenly decreed that I should be the commander of the locusts, God knows how to control the locusts, hurry up and teach me, this is the first time the emperor has given me an errand, I can't mess it up."
Since Qin Huaiyu changed that stuffy personality, under Qin Qiong's teaching, he began to understand some officialdom truths, such as the emperor personally issued an edict to let Qin Huaiyu preside over the control of locusts, to put it bluntly, he has already begun to prepare for Qin Huaiyu's great training, so Qin Huaiyu knows very well that he must handle this matter well, and he must not let the emperor or even civil and military officials have any dissatisfaction.
Looking at Qin Huaiyu's anxious face, Jia Yi began to wonder, didn't Qin Qiong already get all the locust plague back, just start spraying around Chang'an City, where is there any other way to cure locusts.
"Uncle Qin didn't give you the locust plague?"
"The plague of locusts? What's that? ”
What do you mean? Jia Yi was completely confused, he had personally tested the effect of the locust plague, it can be said that as long as the locust plague is sprayed three miles away from Chang'an City, then Chang'an City will not fly into a locust, but what is this not for the plague?
"Well, this thing can effectively kill locusts, if you want to cure locusts, you must get the locust plague, otherwise it will be difficult to stop locusts from entering Chang'an City."
"It's so miraculous, where is the locust plague?"
"There's your dad."
"Let's go, go over and ask."
Returning to Qin Qiong again, before Qin Huaiyu could ask, Qin Qiong reached out and blocked back what he wanted to say.
"The locust plague is something that only the royal family can use, as for why, you have to think for yourself, so don't fight the idea of the locust plague anymore, and quickly find a way to deal with the upcoming locust plague."
On the one hand, he wanted to let the locust plague be controlled, and on the other hand, he didn't give the locust plague, so he couldn't let a few of them catch the locusts one by one to play, although his face was full of depression, Jia Yi didn't want to ask too much, so he had to say goodbye to Qin Huaiyu and Qin Qiong came outside to find a way.
"Brother Jia, do you have any better way?"
"I have another way, my family also feeds tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, they can also become the main force to devour locusts, just count on them, the effect is really limited."
"What then?"
All of a sudden, Jia Yi, Qin Huaiyu and Zhang Daren all made difficulties, as the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, there is no locust plague, and if you want to stop the locusts from entering Chang'an, this is simply a fantasy, you must know that locusts can fly, how can they all stop them.
"Forget it, there will still be some time before the outbreak of the real large-scale locust plague, so it's really impossible to think of a way."
Qin Huaiyu and Zhang Daren followed Jia Yi and left the Qin Mansion.
In order to better control the locust plague, Li Er gave Qin Huaiyu a lot of rights, that is, he has the authority to dictate all the materials in any place, to put it bluntly, as long as it is what you see, you can use it as you like.
The three of them soon came to the warm release area, not because they wanted to come here to do something, but because there was no locust infestation here, they were able to calm down and think about things.
"Huaiyu, I feel that the position given to you by the emperor is to let you deal with the locust plague more after you deal with the locust plague than the locust plague itself."
Is there a cure for the plague of locusts? The answer, of course, is no, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, even if locust plagues will occur from time to time in later generations, this kind of thing cannot be eradicated at all, and there is no absolutely effective medicine that can kill locusts. Jia Yi's plague is quite effective, but castor oil is not too expensive, but that is only not expensive for Jia Yi, you let a small county buy hundreds of ten cylinders of castor oil to try, it would be good not to let the county order hang himself, besides, is one hundred and ten cylinders really enough for a county seat?
Thinking deeply, Jia Yi found that no one seemed to have thought that he would be able to completely subdue the locust plague when it occurred, and all the focus was on the supremacy of the treatment work after the locust plague dispersed, but what did Qin Qiong mean by not teaching the locusts to enter Chang'an?
Just when Jia Yi was meditating hard and didn't understand what Qin Qiong meant by this, a group of people in the distance suddenly entered Jia Yi's line of sight, but it was too far away for him to see who the person who came over was.
"Zhang Daren, who is that person who came over?" Jia Yi looked at the direction where the group of people came and asked Zhang Daren behind him, but after asking for a long time, Zhang Daren didn't give a reply, turned his head to take a look, and found that Zhang Daren was kneeling on the ground, facing the direction of the group of people.
"Zhang Daren, what are you doing?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Prince, so don't hurry up and kneel down to greet him."
Looking at Qin Huaiyu, I found that Qin Huaiyu was also kneeling on the ground waiting for Li Chengqian's arrival, Jia Yi really didn't have the habit of kneeling for a little kid, and he couldn't kneel down for a long time, until Li Chengqian had already come to the front, Jia Yi pretended to want to kneel.
"Brother Jia doesn't have to be polite."
Before kneeling, his legs straightened up again for the first time, and he walked up to Li Chengqian with a smile and bowed down with a pear, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the grass people have lost their welcome, and they still hope to atone for their sins." ”
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Jia is showing his way, Brother Jia has always been good in recent days?"
"It's good, it's good, but I don't know why His Highness came here today?"
"Oh, I'm looking for you, that's how it goes......"
Li Chengqian finished talking about the matter, and Jia Yi completely understood what was going on, and all the locust plagues fell into Li Chengqian's hands, and the task he received was to spray these plagues around Chang'an City, and if they couldn't do their best, they would ask Jia Yi for advice.
is a good one who doesn't teach locusts to enter Chang'an, and dares to love is to help Li Chengqian deceive people to play.
As long as it is a bit of a natural or man-made disaster or something, those guys with ulterior motives will use these to criticize Li Er, saying that what he did was angry and resentful, which led to disasters from above, all of which were caused by Li Er.
Originally, according to the normal course of history, Li Erhui would stand on the altar of the sacrifice, crying and saying to the sky: "If it is my mistake, punish me, and have a Mao relationship with my people." After speaking, he picked up a locust from the ground, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, and then after several days, Li Er ate and drank as usual without any discomfort, so that those people with ulterior motives also lost the basis for talking about the sky, and Li Er ate the locusts into his stomach, and there was nothing wrong with it for several days.
When the locust plague first appeared, Qin Qiong notified Li Er, at that time, Li Er was actually already thinking about how to deal with it, but it happened that Jia Yi developed the locust plague last year, and some time ago, it was proved that the locust plague can effectively kill locusts through experiments, so Li Er will naturally start thinking about how to perform this show at the first time, he will definitely not do such a disgusting thing as eating locusts, so he will only be left to cover the entire Chang'an City with his own Wang Baqi and prevent locusts from attacking. In fact, there is a better advantage to doing this, that is, aren't others talking about the sky, it just so happens that Li Er did this, and he can also talk about the sky, just say that God feels that he Li Er is in Chang'an, and he can't bear to be disturbed by any kind of invention, so he blesses the entire Chang'an with his divine power.
The reason why feudal society is called feudal society is because there are too many strange things like this, if a person drowns, then the river will not be watered, and whoever goes down will be killed by the drowned ghost and become his stand-in.
Now that everything has been figured out, there is still a short period of time before the locusts are swarming all over the world, which is enough for Jia Yi to help Li Chengqian complete this arrangement.
"Prince, how long is the wall of Chang'an City?"
"One hundred and fifty miles."
Li Chengqian's words made Jia Yi almost fall on his head, Nima Chang'an City, you have nothing to do to build such a big job, one hundred and fifty miles, how many cylinders of oil do you have to use, no wonder Qin Qiong would say a word that does not teach locusts to enter Chang'an.
This year, a lot of peanut fields are planted, there are more than 50 acres, but the five tanks of plague are used to spray two miles of locust plague on the periphery of this enclosure.
"Huaiyu, Zhang Daren, go buy castor oil." Jia Yi pointed to Chang'an City sadly, needless to say, he must have paid for the money again.
