Chapter 286: The Tyrant Doesn't Say I'm a Scumbag (50)

Many years later, the peasants who marched south recalled that year when the locusts flew into the sky, they were still terrified.

At the end of spring, the newly sprouted wheat has been sunk and upside down, and the wind blows it with green eyes, and the green leaves stretch, and in another half a month, it can be harvested.

The number of locusts in Hanyang County began to increase.

Experienced farmers have ugly faces and are secretly worried about whether there will be a locust plague this year.

In the previous dynasty, it was less than every ten years, there must be a locust plague outbreak, the family of this dynasty loved extravagance, often destroyed forests and logs, to build a mansion for themselves, and the locust plague slowly became once every nine years or eight years.

Fortunately, Hanyang County, driven by the Chang family girl, planted white stacks and alfalfa grass extensively.

The locusts that crawled out of the ground took a few bites in disgust, but they couldn't swallow it, they were small and thin, and they couldn't fly, so they could only swallow and jump slowly, and then the chickens, ducks and geese took them down.

In the past two years, Hanyang County has cultivated and raised a large number of chickens, ducks and geese, and they have to eat hundreds of small locusts every day, which has effectively curbed the growth of locusts.

The faces of the people who were worried about the locust plague showed a rare smile, and Adam finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she went out shopping, she was stuffed with a lot of eggs by the farmers with a smile and gave it to her.

When she went out empty-handed, she returned with a basket full of eggs, and she ordered them to be boiled in salted water, and distributed them to the wandering beggars in the city.

The beggar was so surprised that he almost kowtowed after thanking him, but Adam stopped it with a smile, but the next day, they picked a lot of blooming flowers and threw them through the high wall.

Adam had a vase of flowers and filled the room.

Hanyang County was leisurely, Jin Jingfu gradually fell into a panic, and one morning, Ruan Qingmeng was woken up from the house by a piercing scream.

She threw something and cursed in anger, but no one came near, and went out with her eyebrows twisted and her clothes on, only to hear the crying getting louder and louder, and the noisy crowd was screaming bitterly:

"Locusts! Locusts! Hurry, pounce! ”

"A plague of locusts!"

She looked up and gasped, stunned.

I saw dense locusts, forming an overwhelming black cloud, covering the sky and the sun, flying over, forming a black storm that was a hundred feet high!

-- The locusts are abundant, covering the sky and the sun, and they fall on the flat ground three or four inches thick, and they are innumerable, greedy and ferocious, and eat all the crops of the grass.

I saw that the lush crops were gnawed into pits, leaving only a bare rod, and all the leaves were gone!

The peasants were so grieved that they led their wives and children out together, and in despair they wept and harvested the seedlings after the locusts had eaten them.

The ears of wheat and rice are not ripe, and they cannot be eaten when they are cut, so they can only be used as straw huts to feed livestock.

"Damn, what can I do!"

"You can't look at it like that, locusts! Did anyone recommend themselves? Promotion! ”

The scolding in the court kept coming, the ministers looked left and right and didn't say anything, and the little emperor who was a few years old was babbling.

They want to be promoted, but they don't understand this kind of thing, and they don't know what to do when they receive the order, so the responsibility is all on themselves.

It's better not to accept this task at all, anyway, they are all wealthy families, living a rich and extravagant life, and they are very happy if they are not promoted.

All the ministers looked at King Heng, and King Heng pursed his lips - don't look at him, he doesn't understand.

He looked at Linwu Hou.

Lin Wuhou reacted more quickly, and waved his hand again and again: "No, this Hou is just a military general, this kind of thing is yours." ”

"Nor can the subordinates, the subordinates have been ordered to compile the scriptures, and they are writing at a critical time......"
