The problem is that no one dares to poke it, because they think it's safe to stay in it, and it's very dangerous outside, but they don't know that people outside are laughing at them, but they can't see it.

However, once punctured, this superstition simply does not hold water.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you don't stab it, you can stab it, anyway, they have made a big mistake, and there is no turning back, that can only go all the way to the dark, and at the same time, the resentment of locusts broke out, and the people in this disaster area began to hunt locusts frantically, and it is not too much to sweep them, even children run to catch them.

This is food!

"Brother Han is right, having money can really make ghosts grind!"

Standing at the edge of the field, Lu Shigua saw crowds of people, holding all kinds of nets, and began to search on the stalls, not even letting go of the larvae, and recalled that they were eager to kneel down for them at the beginning, and they refused to hunt and kill locusts.

It can be seen that those saints have a big reason and a fart!

You have to speak with interests.

Zheng Shanxing said with a wry smile: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, although all this is promoted by Brother Han in the back, but what he does is just, he not only let the people hunt and kill locusts, but also distribute food to the people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "His idea of pursuing a win-win situation is indeed worth learning from." ”

......

"It's really a god and you, and a ghost is you!"

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi slightly, although she was a little unhappy, she had to accept it.

Han Yi said: "The queen has won the award, thanks to the queen, I can't play this play alone." ”

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she felt that he was sarcastic again, and couldn't help but glance at Han Yi fiercely.

Han Yi didn't care and said, "Okay! I have done this wicked man, and you have been aggrieved for so many days, and now it is time for you to come out, queen. ”

A light flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes, and she said, "How can you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "If everyone is still in awe of locusts, then the queen you are an ominous person, otherwise, this matter has nothing to do with the queen, but this is just the beginning, no matter what, the people's crops have been eaten by the locusts, even if it rains, then you have to wait until next year, so what to do during this period?" Therefore, the queen you have to do two things now, the first thing is to clear up this injustice for yourself, tell the people that all this has nothing to do with you, at this moment, the people will definitely believe you, you just need to say it casually. ”

"Why?"

"Because this man always thinks about the good!" Han Yi said with a smile: "They have already hunted and killed locusts, if the previous nonsense is true, then they have offended Tianwei, if you are right, queen, then what he is doing now is right, who are you willing to believe?" ”

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, her face that had been depressed for many days finally showed a smile, and asked again, "What about the second thing?" ”

Han Yi said: "Of course, it is to deal with the aftermath, the reproduction ability of locusts is very strong, such a hunting and killing method is difficult to completely eliminate, this has to be organized to exterminate, besides, we don't have so much food to buy locusts." We still have to get things back on the right track, first, the queen has to organize everyone to completely destroy the locusts, and second, bring the merchants here. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "I think you are ready." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "I didn't go to Sanmen Mountain before, that's because I know that the grain merchants are all over there, and I also told them a plan." ”

"What's the plan?"

"Taiyuan Plan."

"Taiyuan plan?" Wu Meiniang said: "I have never heard of this. ”

"I came up with this specifically for disaster relief."

Han Yidao: "The principle is the same as the opening of Liangzhou, simply put, we want to build Taiyuan into a trade city with Liangzhou, Taiyuan is an important transportation area, and the surrounding areas of Taiyuan are complementary markets with the Central Plains, which has a very large trade potential." Once the imperial court decides to open Taiyuan, then Henan and Hebei have great investment value, and now the people here will face a shortage of food, and it takes time for land to be planted, and what they just don't have is time, and their only way out is to devote themselves to business. ”

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly and said, "This is the same as the method you used to play in Huainan and Jiangnan, using the crisis to commercialize these areas. ”

Han Yi smiled: "But this is very beneficial to you, the queen, because the merchant will be loyal to you in the future, and this plan can also make the queen and the merchant more closely connected." ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed when she heard this, after calculating it like this, this really brought her huge benefits!

She went from a plague god to the biggest winner in an instant, and this kind of big ups and downs is really exciting.

Han Yi glanced at her, sighed and said, "It's just that I'm suffering!" I, a person who was not superstitious in the first place, portrayed myself as a person as ignorant as those gentry, and was scolded by the queen every day, alas... I really don't know who in this world is more noble than my sentiments. ”

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You owe me this." ”

Han Yi smiled: "Don't be funny, okay, you are the biggest beneficiary of these two crises, what do I owe you?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But my interests are only part of your interests, otherwise, how would you be willing to do this, so you don't want me to thank you or apologize." ”

Han Yi said: "That's fine, but when we divide the spoils, we can also calculate a little clearly." ”

"What a share of spoils, it's really ugly."

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi.

......

Compared to a few days ago, the locust stall is much bigger now than before, because there are too many people.

"Uncle, give."

I saw a little baby who was a little higher than the table, handing a small cloth bag to the soldier of the forbidden army who was watching the stall, and his little face was beautiful, because he knew that he would be able to get the food later.

The guard smiled and nodded, touched the little baby's head, weighed it, and handed him a small bag of grain.

"Thank you, uncle!"

The little baby was holding the food, and her little face was full of happiness.

Suddenly, I heard a voice, "The queen has arrived!" ”

The little baby was frightened, and the food in his hand also fell, but he quickly came back to his senses, quickly picked up the food, covered it tightly, opened his eyes wide, looked ahead, and saw a large group of people coming over, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

The people who were queuing up were also frightened.

But those guards of the Forbidden Army were not like them, they hurriedly walked out of the stalls, clenched their fists and said, "See the queen for your humble duties." ”

Only then did those people react, and they also forgot that Wu Meiniang was a plague god, and saluted one after another: "The grass people see the queen." ”

Wu Meiniang just smiled and nodded, suddenly walked in front of the little baby, bowed down, and asked with a smile: "Little baby, what is your name?" ”

The little baby shrunk her shoulders and whispered, "My name is Zhang Xiaotao." ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at the cloth bag in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that your harvest today is not small!" ”

Zhang Xiaotao smiled.

Wu Meiniang smiled and touched his little head, then stood up, swept her eyes over the faces of those people, and suddenly sighed: "If you had done this earlier, I think you would have been able to leave three or four percent of the crops, so that there would not be no harvest like now." ”

When the people heard this, their heads drooped even more, and their eyes were full of remorse.

Wu Meiniang said again: "I know that you have always regarded me as an ominous woman before, thinking that this natural disaster was caused by me. When I heard the news, I was really angry, and I couldn't understand why you would believe this kind of lie. Why don't you think about it, if God wants to punish me, why don't you just punish me, and come to punish you, whether you have a harvest or not, I can't starve, what's the point of God doing this? I thought that if you were allowed to eat the bitter fruit of your own crops, you would regret it then. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed lightly and said: "But after all, you are His Majesty's people, my people of the Tang Dynasty, I really can't be ruthless, in fact, whether you hate me or not, it doesn't matter, but I'm afraid that because you hate me, you think that all this is caused by me, and you don't stop the spread of the disaster in time, resulting in thousands of people starving to death, in that case, I will also bear a blood debt." Therefore, I decided to come here myself, intending to work with you to eradicate the locusts, however, I did not expect that you would be so ignorant as to watch the locusts eat your crops and remain indifferent, so I had no choice but to make this decision, ordering the purchase of locusts with grain, and then making the Janissaries disguise themselves as beggars....... ”

One exclaimed: "Those beggars are all pretended to be by the queen? ”

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "I don't want to do this, but I can't help but do it, if I don't kill the locusts in time, once the locusts spread to the surrounding areas, my century-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty will probably be destroyed on this locust." The facts have also proved that I am right, after these days of hunting, there are a lot fewer locusts everywhere, and there is no sign of spreading outward, but this is not a long-term solution, because there is not much grain left in the granary, and the next autumn harvest is still a year away! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look shocked, and they suddenly remembered that this year's food is gone, how will the next year be!

Thinking about it, they all looked at Wu Meiniang again, their eyes full of expectation and longing.

Wu Meiniang suddenly said impassionedly: "But don't worry, I will stay here to share the weal and woe with you, I will do whatever it takes to find food for you, I will never let any Tang people lose their lives easily, if your food is not solved, I will never leave here." ”

At this moment, Wu Meiniang was a ray of hope in despair, igniting the hope in the hearts of the people, these people regretted not at the beginning, feeling that they had misunderstood the queen before, and almost hurt themselves, they couldn't help but shed tears of remorse, and saw Wu Meiniang ignore the previous suspicions, so help them, they felt guilty in their hearts, knelt down, hid their faces and cried: "Queen, we are sorry for you!" ”

"We're sorry for you!"

Wu Meiniang looked at these people, and a glint flashed in her eyes.
