In the message from Qin Ye's Supreme Law Eye, it was clearly stated that in the near future, this fertile land of harvest would usher in an unprecedented catastrophe.

That's it – the plague of locusts.

Qin Ye was really taken aback.

You must know that in ancient times, the most feared locust plague, especially the locust plague that occurred when the harvest was about to be harvested, there was nothing more tragic than this.

Today, the peasants in the fields, young and old, are all smiling. But it won't be long before I want to cry without tears.

It's a reversal of God.

It's heaven now, and you're going to hell right away, and it won't even give you an adaptation process.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

The young Sima Yi observed his words, and his face changed without warning, and he was very puzzled.

At this time, Zhang He and others were leading the way in front, and there were no outsiders around.

Qin Ye took a deep breath and said nervously, "Something big is about to happen!" ”

Xun You, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi suddenly felt a chill in their backs.

What's the big deal?

Could it be that Han Fu is cheating?

Ambush and besiege us!

"It's not what you think, it's a locust plague that is about to happen, the scale is huge, and it will ravage the Jizhou region." Qin Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Locusts!

After a while, Xun You's faces turned pale.

A locust plague is a catastrophe caused by locusts. In the event of a locust plague, a large number of locusts will devour the fields, completely destroying agricultural products, causing severe economic losses and famine due to food shortages.

In the aftermath of the famine, the devastation was even more severe. Large-scale riots, displaced people.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, in fact, famine was the fuse.

The locust plague is the most difficult to control because it has a habit of living in groups and is very fecund. Polyphagia, that is, it can eat many kinds of plants. The ability to fly is very strong, and the eggs are hidden deep in the ground, which is difficult to destroy.

Locust plagues have occurred repeatedly in Chinese history, and the affected areas are mostly concentrated in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong provinces.

According to the statistics of the "History of Famine Relief", the locust plague in the Qin and Han dynasties averaged once every 8.8 years, the two Song dynasties were 3.5 years, the Yuan Dynasty was 1.6 years, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were both 2.8 years.

Xun You's forehead was sweating, "If there is a locust plague, the price of food will definitely skyrocket." And, in that case, it would be impossible for anyone to sell us grain. ”

In fact, after seeing the scene of a bumper harvest in the eastern part of Jizhou, they were very happy.

As a result, food prices are generally low during the bumper harvest season. In addition, large families will also worry about too much grain and it is not easy to store, so they will sell grain on a large scale.

Qin Ye came here to harvest grain, and a bumper harvest is definitely a good thing.

But in the event of a locust plague, it is the exact opposite.

Although the land here is not Qinye's, and the grain is not Qinye's, it is related to Qinye's life and death.

If there is no food, how can you fight? There is only one end, the land of inheritance has not been found, but he is about to dissipate.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi dismounted, rushed into the farmland next to them like lightning, and disappeared into the one-meter-high millet.

After a while, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi each held a large piece of soil and walked out with suspicious faces.

Xun You hurriedly dismounted and ran over to check the clods of soil that the two had brought out.

The soldiers are all monks and are confused.

What are they doing here?

With your status, still playing with mud? Not kidding, right?

Qin Ye was very pleased, and felt that the virtuous talent was different from ordinary people. Understand that there is a certain omen for the occurrence of locust plagues, and looking at the eggs in the land is the most intuitive monitoring.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi threw dirt and clapped their hands.

The three of them returned to Qin Ye's side.

The three men looked at each other, but did not detect any signs of a possible locust infestation.

"Why does the lord say that there will be a plague of locusts?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

How could Qin Ye not know their questioning mentality at the moment, looking at the endless farmland, "I didn't say that this is the origin of the locust plague, and locusts will fly over from other places. ”

"Where will it fly from?" Zhuge Liang said.

"I can't tell you this for a while." Qin Ye said. In fact, the Supreme Law Eye is sometimes not omnipotent, if Qin Ye is allowed to see the locusts, he may be able to know where it came from.

Xun You and the three were shocked.

You must know that as a military advisor class entrusted with important tasks and trusted by Qin Ye, the three of them know everything under Qin Ye's command. As far as the current situation is concerned, what Qin Ye can know, the three of them can know.

I thought I was negligent and missed some information, but I didn't expect the lord to be unclear.

I don't know, just say there is a locust plague?

Disheveled~.

The young Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi fell to the ground, and Xun You, who was middle-aged, was also crumbling.

Nima!

Lord!

You're kidding us, aren't you?

If Qin Ye said that the three of them had not observed thoroughly, locusts would originate here, and the three of them would definitely weigh it. But Qin Ye said that he flew over from afar, who can believe him?

This is similar to the later generations, some people said that there was about to be a big flood. The crowd must have asked where the water came from. It is from God, it is pure, so make an ark and take refuge.

Damn .......

There's only one reaction.

Xun Yu trembled and touched his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Lord...... The lord is really joking. ”

"Hahahaha......." The young Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were happy.

"This joke told by the lord is so funny!"

"My lord really has a sense of humor."

The two of them didn't laugh at Qin Ye, but really thought that the lord was telling a joke to spice up the current atmosphere. It seems that the joke was a success, and everyone laughed.

Qin Ye's Supreme Law Eyes flashed, things would definitely not go wrong. But to say it, it is too shocking to the world. With a sad countenance, he believed in the reins, "The world laughs at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it." I don't see the people on the day of famine, and there is no grain and no rice falling into the fields. ”

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi immediately stopped laughing.

"Teacher, what is the state of the lord, he seems to think that what he said is true!" The two of them were terrified.

Xun You is about to cry, just like they came to Yecheng, it can be said that they are under the fence, and there will be a fierce battle in the future. And the current state of the lord is really unreasonable......

The three chased after them.

My lord, your joke is not funny at all.

Let's stop making a fuss, can we live a good life?

They couldn't understand it at all, and the only explanation was which of the lord's tendons was wrong.

And Qin Ye didn't say much about it, but he was planning in his heart.

Later.

Qin Ye ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to set up camp, and seeing that it was still early, he took Xun Yu and them to Yecheng to see Han Fu.

Today, the Montenegrin Army controls the central region of Jizhou.

Qin Ye's purpose in coming to Jizhou was to seize a piece of territory from the Black Mountain Army.

He had a huge fortune to buy supplies, and once he had land, he was able to pacify the people and recruit the homeless.

And the only place around where you can get supplies is the bustling Yecheng.

Although Han Fu doesn't have much ability, because of this, the big families in the western part of Jizhou have a lot of materials.
