Chapter 182: Trouble in Shuzhou
Although it is only a few simple words, for Han Yi, this is already quite a high evaluation.
It was probably because he was used to seeing the whimsy of the brocade book, so even if he saw these new things at the moment, he didn't seem particularly surprised. However, although he was indifferent on his face, the movements in his hands did not slow down.
"To be able to make such a snack, you are also the first person in the Xia Kingdom, I really don't know what you haven't shown." Han Yi put down his fork and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that the porcelain plate on the table was empty, Jin Shu smiled slightly, "I'll know later!" ”
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Zhao Hui's first letter was finally delivered to Jinshu. The letter said that everything was fine with him in Nanyi City, and he was training in the army with Xiao Xuanyi recently, and he was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to show his talents.
Although Jinshu knew that Zhao Hui was very good, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, she was still worried about accidents, so she replied to him with a letter. The main thing is to tell him to pay attention to safety, don't be reckless when you encounter anything, and put your life first.
The letter was sent out, but it was not clear when Zhao Hui would receive it.
However, in the process of waiting, a major event happened in Shuzhou. Jinshu still got the news from Han Yi's mouth. It is said that there is an insect plague on the Hu people's side, and now the locusts in the sky have flown over the border pass and are coming towards the Xia Kingdom. At present, Shuzhou is bearing the brunt, and a big chaos is about to unfold.
After hearing the news, Jin Shu's face changed greatly on the spot. Although she is a modern person, she also knows the horror of the locust plague. This inconspicuous little insect reproduces so quickly that it destroys all vegetation wherever it goes, and after eating this one, it will migrate to the next, which is a nightmare for croppers.
"Jinshu, I'm afraid you have to plan ahead. Shuzhou is already on the border, and it is only half a month's journey from Nanyi City, so I think that the insect plague will soon spread to Ren'an County. Han Yi also frowned.
Although the Han family is a merchant family, it can be said that there are a thousand things and ten thousand, and the things they sell come from ordinary farmers. If those locusts really flew to Ren'an County, I'm afraid that all the people here will be affected. But Han Yi is still everyone's son, even if the Han family's business is temporarily closed, the Han family's family can support it for a long time.
The most pitiful are the ordinary people at the bottom. Almost all of them live on their own acres of land, and if there is a problem with the food in the field, it will be equivalent to killing them.
So Han Yi reminded Jinshu that he also thought of the fruits and vegetables on her two hills. But he can only do a reminder, and there is nothing else he can do.
But the first thing that Jin Shu thought of was not himself. After all, she still has room for this cheat. In the past few years, the fruits, vegetables and grains she stored in the space have long been piled up in the warehouse, even if the fruits and vegetables on the two mountains are eaten by locusts, she can ensure the stable life of her family, but she has to take time to think of an excuse when she takes it out.
Therefore, what Jinshu is most worried about now is actually Zhao Hui who is in Nanyi City. The locust plague started from the Hu people, and the vegetation was eaten by the locusts, and their cattle and sheep would die in large areas without food. When the cattle and sheep die, people will have nothing to eat, so the Hu people will definitely take the opportunity to harass the border passes.
But if the locusts pass through Nanyi City, the people of Shuzhou will not be able to take care of themselves, and who will care about the soldiers at the border gates? The soldiers had no food and grass, and a series of troubles would ensue.
Jin Shu even predicted that if it was not handled well this time, the Hu people would invade the Xia Kingdom, and Shuzhou would be in chaos.
