Chapter 129: Don't teach locusts to enter Chang'an
Jia Yi is not in a hurry, it is because he does not have anything that can be lost in the locust plague, but he is not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry, and Zhang Daren is one of them.
Just when Jia Yi was enjoying a rare leisure at home, Zhang Daren was looking for Jia Yi in a hurry, this 10,000-year-old soy sauce party, as long as there is not something important, he will definitely not come to find Jia Yi, looking at Zhang Daren with an eager face, Jia Yi knew that he must have something very important when he came over today.
"I don't know why Brother Zhang came this time?" Jia smiled and hugged his fist at the adult, and asked knowingly.
"Jia Yi, why are you still resting at home, do you know that a locust plague has broken out in Yongnian County, and the shadow of locust plagues has begun to appear in other counties, aren't you in a hurry?"
Jia Yi smiled, isn't this nonsense, it is the people who are affected, and it is not him Jia Yi, he is in a hurry, there is a way that he is not in his position and does not seek his government, even if Jia Yi wants to be anxious, there is no reason to be anxious.
"Hehe, Zhang Daren, as the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and Daze will help the world, do you think that I am rich enough to take care of the people of the whole world?"
Zhang Daren was speechless for a while when asked by Jia Yi, did he dare to answer this, yes, then without Jia Yi's hand, Li Er would cut off his head, in the world, except for Li Er's affirmation, even if it was the crown prince Li Chengqian, he couldn't talk nonsense.
It's just that Zhang Daren saw Jia Yi get the locust plague with his own eyes, but now Jia Yi is holding the plague and not making a move, isn't this the people of the world ignoring it.
"Jia Yi, didn't you create a plague of locusts, now that the locust plague has begun to appear, it is a good time to destroy it, if you wait until the locust plague becomes the climate, even if you can destroy the locust plague, I believe that the people who have been affected by the plague this year will have no rice to live."
"The locust plague has long been pulled away by Yiguo Gong, as for what to do, I don't know, now I don't have any locust plague at hand, if you don't bother, I have a lot of sick locusts that can be used by you, although the effect is not great, but I believe it can also play a certain role."
Dead locusts also have plague on their bodies, but after all, they are individuals, only living locusts can be infected with plague when they touch their corpses, unlike plague solution, which covers an entire area, as long as the locusts land, they will be infected with the plague and die.
"Alas, this year's tragedy is inevitable."
Jia Yi looked at Zhang Daren with a sad face a little strangely, and couldn't understand why Zhang Daren behaved like this, you must know that Zhang Daren is just an official in the Tianji Protectorate, it stands to reason that this kind of national economy and people's livelihood has nothing to do with him, he should be concerned about the discordant factors that exist among the people, why did he start to overstep his bounds.
"I said Zhang Daren, are you okay, it seems that the emperor did not appoint you as the commander of the disaster control, you are just a soldier, you don't do your serious work well, you are worried about what you are doing."
Jia Yi's words seemed to have touched the taboo in Zhang Daren's heart, and he saw that Zhang Daren's eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed to Jia Yi's side with an arrow, and pinched Jia Yi's neck with both hands, staring at Jia Yi with red eyes, like a demon who wanted to choose someone to devour.
Zhang Daren's strength is not small, just this hand, Jia Yi couldn't breathe, his face suddenly turned red, and a pair of fists hit Zhang Daren's hands fiercely, and Zhang Daren didn't feel anything, the hand that pinched Jia Yi's neck was still working hard, as if he was really going to strangle him to death.
Now the Lin Mansion is no longer an ordinary family without any protection power, ten chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, none of them will be weaker than Zhang Daren, the nursing home who was originally sitting on a tree and dozing, after seeing what Zhang Daren did, at first he thought that the brothers were joking, but when he saw that Jia Yi's face had begun to change from red to purple, he knew that this Zhang Daren was actually playing.
In a hurry, he jumped down from the tree, rushed behind Zhang Daren with an arrow, and waved a palm knife at the back of Zhang Daren's neck.
Zhang Daren's body suddenly softened, and he lay on the ground instead.
As soon as Jia was rescued, he immediately covered his neck and took two steps back, stood in place and coughed violently for a long time, and when he let go of his hand again, there was already a circle of red marks on his neck.
"Ahem, what kind of madness is this Zhang Daren."
The movement here attracted the attention of everyone in the family, Lin Ruyu soon came to Jia Yi's side, when she saw the circle of pinch marks on Jia Yi's neck, she immediately cried distressedly, carefully checked Jia Yifan, and made sure that he had no problems, then walked to Zhang Daren who was lying on the ground, kicked twice, and scolded while kicking: "Damn Zhang Daren, eat my family's drink my family's take my family's, and even treat my family Jia Yi like this, it really made the wolf take away his heart and lungs, and he will not die sooner or later." ”
Zhang Daren, who was kicked twice, woke up, and let Lin Ruyu, who was addicted to kicking Zhang Daren, run behind Jia Yi with a scream.
After Zhang Daren slowly stood up, the general who had stunned him just now immediately protected Jia Yi's body, and looked at Zhang Daren with full vigilance, in case Zhang Daren had any more misdeeds.
"What happened to me?"
"Nervous, I said that it was none of your business to cure the locusts, and you almost strangled me to death." Jia Yi was angry and explained to Zhang Daren what happened just now.
When Zhang Daren heard this, he first smiled apologetically at Jia Yi, and then sighed and told what happened to him.
"Jia Yi, there was also a locust plague in the previous dynasty, do you know?"
Jia nodded, he really knew about this, in fact, counting the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 40 large-scale locust plagues, small locust plagues almost every year, Zhenguan years for a total of more than 20 years, and more than ten times, and several big ones, but what Jia Yi didn't understand was that the locust plague had a hairy concern with you Zhang Daren.
"I was only ten years old that year, the locust plague in Guanzhong, the locusts covered the sky and the sun, as long as it was something that could be eaten, the locusts did not leave a mouthful, so that they starved all over the ground, and the children were eaten, my father and mother starved to death at that time, in fact, I also had a younger sister, but the hungry people of that year, when they saw something to eat, they would find a way to fill their stomachs, and my sister was ...... It's ......"
The more Zhang Daren spoke, the more sad he became, and finally knelt directly on the ground, covering his cheeks with his hands, crying like a newborn child, everyone standing beside him looked at him with sad faces, obviously understanding his sister's ending, Jia Yi also felt a little sad, isn't it a plague of locusts, as long as the emperor gives an order, the excess grain in the world is delivered, even if there are more hungry people, they can get through that year safely, and there will be no such human tragedy at all.
It's just that if people are unlucky and encounter an irresponsible emperor, then what awaits them must be this two choices of starvation or cannibalism.
To be honest, it's hard for Jia Yi to imagine what kind of scene a person would be like if he were to eat people, when he ate people, there would inevitably be the head of the person being eaten aside, looking at the person being eaten, eating the flesh of the person being eaten, this feeling was really terrifying, he couldn't realize how crazy hunger could be, he didn't experience hunger, the longest time between two meals was only one day, and it was too much to support the last meal.
"Zhang Daren, I'll help you cure locusts."
No matter how Zhang Daren is said to be Jia Yi's friend, seeing his friend crying sadly in front of him, he is really a little unbearable, although the management of the locust plague is really none of his business, but in order to be able to let his friend get spiritual comfort, Jia Yi decided to personally participate in the control of the locust plague.
Zhang Daren suddenly looked up at Jia Yi excitedly, the emotion and expectation on that face made Jia Yi can't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and being looked at like this by a man with five big and three thick and a stubble on his face, it is uncomfortable for anyone to change.
"What, don't you have to worry about the affairs of the Heavenly Machine, I thought about the locust control and then started to do it, what should you be busy with."
"I'm fine, I'm going to watch you kill those damn locusts."
Speechless, Jia Yi was completely speechless, he didn't do anything right, and he didn't participate in the things that the imperial court should govern, which should be regarded as dereliction of duty.
The locusts are raging, Jia Yi actually doesn't have a very good way, he has a bit of locust plague at hand, and all of them have been pulled away by Qin Qiong, what he can do now is to go to Qin Qiong, and then help spray the plague.
When I came to the Qin Mansion with Zhang Daren, I happened to see a eunuch walking out of the Qin Mansion with a high spirit, and I didn't have to guess to know that they must have come to read the holy decree.
quickly drilled into the Qin Mansion and came to Qin Qiong's side, and before he could ask a long question, Qin Qiong spoke first.
"Jia Yi, you came just in time, the emperor just appointed Huaiyu as the commander of the locust, and you are also idle, help him to control the locust."
Jia Yi smbabbled for a long time, and in the end, he could only give it up.
"Master, let me go too."
Zhang Daren approached Qin Qiong with a shy face, and said in a doggy manner.
"You have nothing to do?"
"No, sir, you also know what happened to me, if I can't see the locusts wiped out with my own eyes, I really can't feel at ease."
"It's you who have the most, okay, okay, don't bother me here, you follow Jia Yi to find Huaiyu, I don't care how to start, but I have one request, don't teach locusts to enter Chang'an."
