Chapter 272: The Tyrant Didn't Say I Was a Scumbag (36) What a mortal can do
Later, it meant that the month was over, and in a remote place like Hanyang County, it was even more pretended that nothing had happened.
The families in Beijing have no time to care about them.
King Heng didn't dare to usurp the throne directly, he found a young child from the clan and wanted to support him to ascend the throne, but the ceremony had not yet been held, and the child died unexpectedly!
Up to now, it has not been determined who is the new emperor, and every family wants to push the clan close to them to the throne, such as King Heng and others want to ascend the throne himself, and the fight is inextricable.
Shang Qing accompanied Adam for a slow walk along the field.
The old farmers are busy in the fields with their families, and most of the crops are japonica, wheat, millet, and soybean, japonica is rice, millet is millet, and soybean is beans.
Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the corn is about to ripen, but there is no smile on the faces of the people.
This year's drought and the harvest are not very good, even though Hanyang County pays more taxes than other states and counties, it is still a burden on the people's heads.
A small shadow flew in front of Adam, and as soon as she reached out to grab it, it angrily kicked its two long legs in protest, and Adam pinched its wings and lifted it up.
Shang Qing said: "You seem to have sorrow in your heart. β
Adam pursed his lips, put the thing in front of him, and whispered, "Locust." β
It was a large locust that was nearly two inches long.
If there is a long drought, locusts will come.
ββThis year's great drought in the world, involving not only the Southern Jin Dynasty, but also the Eastern Liang, Northern Yan, and Western Rong, although it is not to the point of drought, it is indeed a lot less rain, and the ground is dry.
The people wished for more rain next year so that their crops would be fully nourished, but Adam knew that next year would also be a year of drought, which would further increase the burden on the people.
Until the third year, the long-awaited rain will fall abundantly, the crops will flourish, and the people will smile and thank the heavens.
But.
However, while crops grow luxuriantly, shrubs, weeds, and so on grow.
During the drought in the first two years, the eggs laid by locusts in the ground would hatch wildly after the rain, eating weeds and crops, and develop into a huge locust plague that affected the Northern Yan, Xirong, Southern Jin, and Dongliang!
Locusts not only eat the grains and seedlings in the fields, but also sweep away all the greenery.
"When it was in its prime, it flew to cover the sky, although there was nothing left behind in Heli", and even "cows, horses, and flags were all gone", the scene was very miserable.
In the plot, the young emperor did not die at that time, and was competing with King Heng to be jealous of Ruan Qingmeng's love, and the upper-class family only wanted to talk about Xuan, how could they take care of the people?
This locust plague will develop into "death and displacement, thousands of miles of bare land, people abandon their wives and children and flee into captivity, officials cannot forbid it, locusts fly to the sky, they are destroyed, and starvation corpses are all over the wilderness"!
Shang Qing's face also showed surprise, and he quickly calmed down and said, "Tell them now, no one will believe it, and with your current manpower, you can't change the natural disaster." β
Adam clenched her fists, she knew he was telling the truth, so she felt even more powerless, if she came to this small world in real life, maybe she could do something, but at the moment she was just a mortal-
No.
Mortals cannot be caught with their hands tied.
"I know," she said, her eyes shining, taking a deep breath, "but I'd like to try it anyway." I once saw a person who dared to protect the common people with his own strength! I was taught by him, so how could I watch everything happen? β
