The times make heroes.

Thousands of times to create the situation.

Originally, this sudden crisis was about to knock Wu Meiniang into a place of no return.

But in just a few days, the situation has undergone an astonishing reversal, which not only did not defeat Wu Meiniang, but made Wu Meiniang the savior in the hearts of the people.

Just like Han Yi last time, as long as Wu Meiniang can do what she says, then she will become a big hero, which will also help her eliminate the shadow brought to her by the last crisis, and the help for her is really immeasurable.

However, all of this was made by Han Ye.

This also left a little shadow in Wu Meiniang's heart, and she knew it. In other words, Han Yi can lift her up to the sky today, so can she also be pushed into the land of no return because of a trivial matter?

In terms of borrowing questions, she is what she is best at, but even in this regard, she is not Han Yi's opponent.

What's even more terrifying is that Han Yi's ability to manipulate people's hearts is really terrifying.

But no matter what, at this moment, the people in the disaster area rallied around Wu Meiniang, because they had already begun to hunt and kill locusts, so they could only trust Wu Meiniang.

This plays a vital role in the eradication of locusts.

Wu Meiniang began to organize everyone to exterminate locusts, she also put forward the theory of "locusts in the extreme drought, locusts will have locusts after a long drought", and began to cite science to explain the locust plague, telling the people about the locust living habits, for example, gathering all the chickens and ducks, driving them to the area where locusts like to lay eggs, and letting them eat locusts.

On the other hand, it is burning, catching, and doing everything to kill locusts in all aspects.

Although the locust plague has always been a problem, but now the people have gathered around Wu Meiniang, she gave an order, that is, the whole people acted, thousands of people, actively hunting and killing locusts, anyway, they have nothing to do now, the food has been eaten up by locusts, the intensity of this hunting can be imagined.

The locusts are slowly decreasing.

The locust plague has also been further contained and has not spread to the surrounding area.

And Wu Meiniang also went into battle in person, commanding the people to hunt and kill locusts.

On this day, Wu Meiniang, Han Yi, Zheng Shanxing, and Lu Shigua came to the field to inspect again.

"The villain sees the queen."

I saw an old farmer about forty years old, led by a forbidden army, come to Wu Meiniang.

"No courtesy."

Wu Meiniang smiled and asked, "You are Yang Nong." ”

"The villain is exactly."

"I heard that your family has always had chickens and ducks? And there are no less. ”

"Yes, the villain has always been raised."

Yang Nong nodded hurriedly, but there was a confused look in his eyes.

Wu Meiniang said: "This chicken and duck are the natural enemies of locusts, in order to effectively prevent locusts, the imperial court will invest in the poultry industry on a large scale here, and strive to breed more chickens and ducks to prevent locusts from becoming plagues." I wonder if you're interested? ”

Yang Nong looked at Wu Meiniang in a daze.

Han Yi hurriedly said: "It's that the imperial court lends you money interest-free to help you raise poultry, and I don't dare to say anything else, just to ensure that you will make money." ”

Yang Nong couldn't believe it at all, is there such a good thing in the world?

Han Yi said: "You just say whether you agree or not, if you don't agree, I will find someone else." ”

Tanabe said: "Brother Yang, you should agree quickly, Shang Shuling said that if you get rich, you will definitely get rich." ”

Yang Nong was stunned and said, "The villain agrees, the villain agrees." ”

Han Yi smiled: "You go get busy first, someone will discuss this matter later." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

After he left, Wu Meiniang looked at Han Yi and said: "Shang Shuling is worthy of being the merchant saint of my Tang Dynasty, as long as it involves money, everyone believes in you." ”

Han Yi smiled modestly and said, "The queen has won the award." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "Queen, now the locust plague has been effectively controlled, but the drought and food problems have not been completely solved. Now that there is little food left in the granary, and water is becoming scarcer, we need to act quickly, or in a few days, these problems will be exposed. ”

Wu Meiniang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "If it doesn't rain this day, I can't help it!" ”

Han Yi said: "This day is untouchable, but the ground is under our feet." ”

Wu Meiniang was stunned and said, "You mean organizing people to dig wells?" ”

Han Yi nodded.

Wu Meiniang said: "That's all it can be." ”

Lu Shigua said: "But what about the food problem? ”

Wu Meiniang said: "I have discussed this matter with Shang Shuling, and now the grain in Luoyang, Bianzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou is concentrated in the hands of merchants, so if you want to get enough food, you must let merchants come here." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "But the merchants here are all running outside, where will there be merchants willing to come here." ”

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Shang Shuling proposed a Taiyuan plan, which should attract many businessmen. ”

"Taiyuan plan?"

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua were all stunned.

Han Yi immediately explained it to them.

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shigua suddenly realized.

Han Yi said again: "But I never recommend opening a granary for disaster relief, in this way, everyone is looking forward to disaster relief every day, there is free food, no one will want to work, if you want to live, you still have to rely on labor in exchange for food." Therefore, the imperial court would borrow money from the gold bank to invest in the construction of roads in these areas, and as long as the roads were built, the merchants would believe in the imperial court's Taiyuan plan, and they would bring large quantities of grain to solve the famine problem in these places. ”

Because the budget of the imperial court is also very tight, the order has just been issued to build a college and popularize education, although the money can be allocated, but it will disrupt Han Yi's plan, so Han Yi suggested that he should take a loan from the gold bank first.

Jin Xing is his, and he is the head of the household, and this operation is very simple.

Over there, Sangmu has allocated 200,000 guan from the gold bank in Luoyang, and then bought grain everywhere, which is really not much, but the problem is that now the labor here is the cheapest, just take care of it, and the value of this 200,000 guan has increased a lot.

After the locust plague was further controlled, Wu Meiniang ordered that the imperial court should pay for the employment of people to build roads and dig wells, and if the salary is paid, it is very difficult for the people in the disaster area.

Because Han Yi had already arranged it in advance, Qian Dafang and they had prepared the food, but they didn't dare to enter the field, there were locust plagues and hungry people inside, which was very terrible.

Now that the locust-plagued areas have shrunk, the imperial court has begun to invest in road construction again.

The signal was already very clear, and the merchants began to move, and they began to enter the disaster area with a large amount of grain.

What a timely rain!

The people looked at the endless convoy and were not only happy.

The queen didn't lie to us, she really got us food.

.....

"This little brother Han is really powerful, this drought has not passed, but there is no turmoil here."

Qian Dafang saw that the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and everyone was working hard, which was completely different from what they imagined.

Under normal circumstances, this disaster area is full of beggars, and murder and goods can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Sijia said: "But I heard that it's all because of the queen, and it doesn't have much to do with Brother Han." ”

Qian Dafang said: "Hey! You said that if you delay the disaster, it may be the queen, but if you invest in road construction, it must be Brother Han. ”

Dou Yi and the others also nodded.

"Hmm... What is this, it smells so good! ”

"Yes! It's the first time I've smelled this scent, what is it? ”

"It seems to have come from the wooden shed over there."

While walking, they suddenly smelled a burst of aroma, and several people raised their eyes to see that under a wooden shed, many road repair workers were holding large bowls of rice and eating them in large gulps.

Eating is quite ordinary, but the question is when the disaster area becomes fragrant.

Just as they were about to go over to take a look, they suddenly found that the three living treasures of Yuwen Xiumi, He Ruohan, and Yang Mengcheng walked out of the wooden shed with two or three strings of black gadgets.

Qian Dafang hurriedly said: "Yuwen Gongzi, Yuwen Gongzi." ”

Yuwen Xiumi and the others came over and asked, "Old Qian, what are you asking me for?" ”

"It's ..... Locust. ”

Qian Dafang was just about to ask, but when he saw that what they were holding in their hands was a bunch of locusts that had been roasted black and shiny, and he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

Yuwen Xiumi also deliberately stretched the skewer in his hand in front of Qian Dafang, which frightened Qian Dafang and screamed.

"Haha!"

Yuwen Shuya laughed unscrupulously.

He Ruohan said: "Don't be afraid, this locust is delicious." ”

As he spoke, he directly bit down on the next one, and ate it in a big gulp, making a creaking sound, which made Zhao Sijia and the others immediately drop goosebumps on the ground, and they felt extremely nauseous.

"It's... How does this locust eat? ”

Qian Dafang is about to spit it out.

Yuwen Xiumi said: "We just asked, the main dish here today is this locust, we didn't dare to eat it before, but I heard that this was secretly made by Brother Han himself, so we mustered up the courage to eat one, this taste is really good." ”

"Brother Han secretly made it?"

Qian Dafang was surprised.

Yang Mengcheng nodded and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask." Previously, Brother Han exchanged food for locusts and caught a large number of locusts, and now Brother Han has cooked this locust into various dishes, and now everyone here eats this locust, but the rice here is not allowed for us to eat, I saw their locust bibimbap, it seems to be more delicious. ”

The power of faith is very terrifying, when Qian Dafang heard Han Yi, he felt that this thing must be a good thing, so he was not so afraid, "Is it really so delicious?" ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Is it necessary for us to lie to you?" You try one. ”

Qian Dafang hesitated for a while, but still mustered up his courage, stretched out his hand, took down a locust, stared at it for a long time, threw it into his mouth, closed his eyes, bitten and bitten, he slowly opened his eyes, and said: "This taste is really good, fragrant and crispy." ”

"Not bad! If you pair it with wine, it's even more delicious. ”

Yuwen Shumi took a pot of wine from his waist and poured it into it fiercely, "It's really comfortable!" ”

Qian Dafang asked, "Is this a gift?" ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "That's not it, but it's quite cheap, two strings for a penny." ”
