"This is the meaning of His Royal Highness, you just need to obey the arrangement, the support of the imperial court is still on the way, it will arrive soon, you don't have to worry, the locust extermination envoy of the imperial court will also arrive soon, for the time being, please this person, preside over the overall situation."

When Cheng Cheng talked about this again, he hesitated a little, because he didn't know how to describe it, saying that the woman was not enough around him, saying that she didn't have an official position for the time being, and that she didn't deserve to be a special envoy.

Li Jicai's identity is indeed a little embarrassing.

Hu Ze's county lord stood up slowly, his thin body seemed to fall down as soon as the wind blew, he was the thinnest among the seven county magistrates, and he looked at it in comparison.

Born with a sharp-beaked monkey gills and a pair of mouse-like eyes, the thief looks a little uncomfortable.

But he played the role of a peacemaker.

"Since it is His Highness's will, then we have to resolutely abide by it, but if something happens here, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it, so Li Zhou's colleagues will have doubts, so I will say this, and please bear with this lord."

When he said this, he was depressed and frustrated, and those who didn't know thought he was singing.

Li Jicai watched them perform coldly, and waited until they were gossiping, and she said it herself after it was over.

Cheng Cheng nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze to Li Jicai, signaling that she could speak.

Li Jicai was not in a hurry, walked to the right position, and then sat down with her buttocks, her generous posture looked unceremoniously, and she had the feeling that Hu Ze was her territory.

Such an arrogant posture also caused dissatisfaction among everyone around him, after all, it is indeed difficult to convince a woman who looks immoral and incompetent like this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current locust plague control is urgent, I have listened to Cheng Cheng's report, saying that you are integrating food, and then distributing it reasonably, there is a big shortage of food, and reasonable distribution should also be deserved.

But so far, I haven't seen anyone from the government arrange people to deal with the locust plague, which is really worrying, I don't know if you have any good ways to deal with the locust plague? “

"Hmph, it's easy to say, when our people passed, the locusts had already run away, didn't they just run to Hu Ze now, and I didn't see Hu Ze's send." One of the pot-bellied county magistrates said dissatisfiedly.

Li Jicai didn't want to listen to such complaints, if the complaints were useful, the people's complaints would have turned this locust plague against the tide.

"I mean, the way to deal with the locust plague, or is it because you have a problem with your ears and don't understand?" Li Jicai's tone was unceremonious.

The complaining official saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and somehow his face gradually turned red.

"If you don't have any other opinions, then I'll talk about my opinions first, and I'll ask you to do it according to my ideas immediately, by the way, Jasper Biluo, I also have something to ask you to do."

Although everyone still looked disbelieving on their faces, they still straightened up slightly when they heard Li Jicai say this, and listened to what she said.

"The plague of locusts must be dealt with day and night.

During the day, I need you to set up ten large oil pans, and then pour all the locusts you catch into the oil pans and fry them.

At night, you need to carry torches to the locust areas in the fields, make fires, smoke the locusts, smoke the eggs, dig pits, and burn and bury them. “

"Is it too late to burn?" Cheng Cheng raised his doubts.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a remedy, and the people want to see our determination to control the locusts.

Besides, most of the food is eaten by locusts now, and there is a dish in my heirloom recipe that is about locusts, so do whatever you want, and you know where I came from. This sentence was said to Cheng Cheng, and Cheng Cheng knew that she had opened Suiyuanju before, and she was still in charge.

When those officials heard Li Jicai say that they wanted to eat locusts, their eyes immediately widened and they looked at her incredulously.

An older official was under the county next to Hu Ze, and when he heard Li Jicai's words, he hurriedly waved his hand: "This is heaven's punishment, the locust plague is God's arrangement, how can you eat locusts?" ”

After Li Jicai heard this, she felt very surprised, she couldn't understand how the heads of the ancients were structured, why did she think that the locust plague was actually arranged by God? It's obviously a pest.

"I have already thought of the method of governance in the later stage, and I will wait for the rescue of the imperial court to arrive, and then I will deal with it as appropriate." Li Jicai did not respond positively to the official's words, but said to himself.

"......" were all hesitant in all directions, and the skeptical look on their faces explained their attitude towards Li Jicai's command.

But Li Jicai is not worried at all, because Cheng Cheng is here, and Cheng Cheng will definitely obey her arrangement.

Cheng Cheng looked at the look on Li Jicai's face, which was obscure. If he heard it right, at the beginning of their discussion, he suddenly remembered that Li Jicai seemed to have said the word Fourth Highness, and he was the first to say it in front of everyone.

When did Li Jicai know the identity of his master? They are usually quite restrained and do not disclose.

How did she know?

"Jasper Biluo, you help me go to the market and buy me some of the materials I want, as for what they are, we'll talk about it when we go out later." Li Jicai turned his head and said to Jasper and Biluo.

"You can act according to the originally agreed plan, and I won't interfere much, but in the matter of controlling the locust plague, I hope that you will cooperate with me with full authority, and then the court will allocate it and re-plan." This time, it was Li Jicai, and he spoke to the people below with a little arrogance.

Because Li Jicai knew in her heart that if she showed weakness and deception, then these officials would look down on her and would not obey her arrangements and her dispatches.

And the tougher he behaves, the more confident he is, the more people will be jealous of her, and thus they will obey her assignment and not fight against her.

As for this method of controlling the locust plague, it was not thought up for no reason, when I watched TV, there was a program called Approaching Nature, which introduced locusts and solutions.

If the locusts are not terrible alone, I am afraid that these locusts will be entangled and become a dense army of locusts.

"Just do what this man said, everyone here please don't leave Hu Ze, stay here during this time, so that it is convenient to assemble."

Cheng Cheng saw that Li Jicai had nothing to say, so he made a summary speech.

The seven county lords present, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dared to open their mouths to refute.

There is no rebuttal, which is relatively equivalent to acquiescence.

They have no other choice than acquiesce in Li Jicai's approach, otherwise this is disobeying the four princes, they are just a small official, and some dangers are not tempted.

Cheng Cheng himself has brought a lot of people, and if he joins them, it will definitely help the management of the locust plague, and he also believes that his master will solve the predicament they encounter here as soon as possible.

If the follow-up matters are not dealt with, it will have a great impact on the organization, but now the master is afraid that he will be stumped by something in the court, so he can't take a break from coming here.

However, he was really curious about the method proposed by Li Jicai to control locusts, it was not the first to attack her with fire, and it was not the first to smoke her, but to set up an oil pan to fry locusts, it seems that he really hasn't heard of any official doing this?

Will this work?

Whether it can be done or not can only wait and see, after all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

However, Li Jicai's appearance made him feel that she seemed quite sure.

After all the people dispersed, Biyu and Biluo still stood on either side of Li Jicai, waiting for her dispatch.

"Miss, the situation is so chaotic at this time, where can there be a place to sell things in the market? Everyone has fled. Biluo said reluctantly.

"You two are from Yan Kingdom, you know where some spices can be bought in the bazaar, I believe in this place, pepper, pepper and star anise can be bought, you can buy some of this for me, and bring some salt back by the way."

Biyu and Biluo glanced at each other, a little surprised, Li Jicai actually knew about the unique products of their Yan Kingdom. Although these things can also be seen in the Chu State, after all, they don't use it much, ordinary people will not accept this strange taste, and at most they will use some, and the habits of their hometown have not been forgotten after coming to the Chu State.

"Of course it's not true, let you go to the bazaar to look for it, just ask some guards to go with you, go to those shops and find out if I'm useful, it's really useful."

Li Jicai looked at the two of them with a serious face and said, although there are already fried locusts as raw materials, but if you want to make salt-and-pepper locusts, you still need those spices, he has not eaten spicy and stimulating food for a long time, and he can't help but run water in his mouth when he thinks about it.

In Li Jicai's head, such a picture was involuntarily formed.

Lo and behold, we've caught a plump locust, fried and eaten, five times as much protein as beef, chicken-flavored, crunchy.

"This ...... Since the young lady thinks so, then the slaves and maids will do what the young lady says. Jasper nodded and said solemnly.

"Well, today's matter Sister Zhang will be arranged like this, the most important thing at the moment is to find a place to live in Hu Ze's official mansion now, and then report to Cheng Cheng, so that they can send more people to protect us."

"Yes, miss." Jasper and Biluo replied at the same time.

Li Jicai went to look for a place to live, Hu Ze's official yamen is not big, the front is the government office, well, the backyard is where the family stays.

The family members of the lord of Huze County are all there, and if they originally lived there, it was very spacious.

But now that the county magistrates of several other counties have been added, it is a little crowded, and Li Jicai also wants to find one of them to live in to facilitate affairs.

Of course, this is only a temporary residence, because they have to follow in the footsteps of the locusts, and they are only temporarily settled here.

Li Jicai made it clear that he wanted to use fire, and the people below went to prepare materials for the control of locusts, except for those who normally went to deal with those refugees.

Although I don't know if Li Jicai's idea is useful, but since she has said so, if something happens or it doesn't work, they can put the blame on her, and they will clean it themselves.

It's pretty beautiful anyway.

And Li Jicai believes in modern scientific methods of controlling locusts, so she thinks that as long as she takes it step by step, she will definitely be able to see the results.

Although I don't know for what reason, Jiang Xihu didn't come here in person, but Jiangxi Hu had already given her power before leaving, and he was indeed quite conscientious.

Conscience?

Li Jicai's words to describe Jiang Xihu, if Jiang Xihu listened to it, he didn't know what to think in his heart, and he was probably so angry that he vomited blood.

She thought he didn't want to go? It's not because his father is worried that he has a lot of money and has excellent political achievements, so he wants to suppress him and not let him do it, otherwise he would have flown here a long time ago.

His father, the king, was old, and when he was older, he was prone to confusion. It's obviously a good thing for the country and the people, but he has to be made like this, and he doesn't know who he harmed.

If the prince doesn't do something, can't he Jiang Xihu do it as his son? So if you want to help the crown prince stabilize sanitation, can't you directly pass the throne to him?

In the final analysis, it's not about power, the prince has no political affairs for the time being, and he won't compete with him for the throne, and others have no chance to compete with the prince at all.

In a way, isn't that what he does? Jiang Xihu thought that he could see his father clearly.

But even so, he, Jiang Xihu, will still try his best to exploit the loopholes, until he achieves his goal, otherwise he will really go in vain to go to the world.

Jiang Xihu asked Cheng Cheng to report Li Jicai's movements at any time, and if he found anything abnormal, he would immediately empty her power and put her under house arrest.

But in the same way, if there is no abnormality, but the things at hand are handled in a regular manner, and are recognized by Cheng Cheng, then you can let it go.

The control of the locust plague in Liangzhou has been preliminarily established, and the plan has been transmitted to the imperial court, and it has also received a positive response.

The three locust exterminators have already set off on the road, and they will arrive in a few days, so for the time being, as long as they hold on to their heads for a while, when the people from the court come, they can relax more.

Of course, this is also very likely, when these people came, the locusts had already eaten all the grain crops in the land of Liangzhou.

Everything depends on creation.
