Remove its moths, and its thieves, and do not harm my Tianzhi. Tian Zu has a god, and he is in flames.

This is a passage from an ancient book.

When Li Jicai used to go to school, he remembered a sentence, "There will be locusts after a long drought." "That's an ancient saying.

Because locust plagues often go hand in hand with droughts.

It was said in geography and nature class that locusts are insects that prefer to grow in a dry environment, and in dry years, when the water surface of rivers and lakes shrinks and the low-lying ground is exposed, locusts will lay eggs.

The upper reaches of the Liangzhou River were cut off.

When Li Jicai heard the news, he was particularly worried, because the hardest hit areas of locust plagues in history were often the places where droughts occurred.

The arid tidal flats are very suitable for locusts, especially after the drought between spring and summer, which will bring a large number of locusts.

The special geographical location of Liangzhou determines that it is completely different from those humid and humid places in the south that often rain.

"Locusts are particularly difficult to treat, and as long as the conditions arise for him to appear, it is very likely that they will happen, and the ability of locusts to reproduce is beyond imagination. It is more difficult to govern in modern times, let alone in ancient times. ”

These are the exact words of Mr. Dudu.

What Li Jicai feared most finally happened, and a terrible locust plague broke out a little south of Kuayi.

This further confirms that it is not for nothing that she stays here.

According to the news that the place where the locust plague occurred was called Lizhou, and there had been a small locust plague in this place before, but it was contained.

Unexpectedly, this year, there was another locust plague.

It's dark, and the black pressure is all over the sky. Flying up only to pounce on people's faces, the fluttering pain is incomparable, covering the sky and the sun as if it is covered by a big net.

When Cheng Cheng's men came down to report, they said that the locusts were a natural disaster, and the people believed that this was a disaster from heaven, and if they wanted to destroy the locusts, they would anger the gods, so they did not dare to capture and drive away the locusts until they had to.

So they were allowed to eat all their crops, and wherever the locusts went, they ate whatever they could, and what did the man eat?

Therefore, when the livelihood of the people is gone, a large number of hungry people and disaster victims will begin to appear. Everywhere and displaced.

However, not long ago, the fourth prince, Jiang Xihu, brought people over to help the refugees affected by the drought, and now he has to help the refugees affected by the locust plague.

"The locusts will soon fly to the quay, this one, miss, why don't we get out of here first?" Bi Luo took the lead and walked next to Li Jicai, who was in a daze, and suggested in a low voice.

Five days after Qi Qingchu left, Cheng Cheng's men suddenly came to Li Jicai's room one morning and told her about it.

After listening to poor Li Jicai, an old face was weird and invincible.

In fact, he thought of this early in the morning, but he didn't say it at the time, for fear that others would think that he was worrying.

From the very beginning when she first started staying here, the feeling of waiting for the locust plague was like waiting for the great aunt, afraid of her coming, and not wanting her to come.

"We're leaving, so what are the people here going to do? No, if we take the lead in exterminating the locusts, they can only escape, but where can they flee, if they don't save the crops, then what will they eat, and when will they have to rely on the relief of the imperial court?

And they actually think that this is divine punishment, and they don't kill those pests that eat the crops, how can they live this life? You have to take the lead in catching these locusts. “

"But Your Majesty Miss will send Yushi as an envoy to exterminate locusts and urge the officials of Li Zhou to exterminate locusts." Bi Luo was afraid that the terrible scene told by the messenger appeared before her eyes.

She hated seeing bugs, so when she learned the news, she didn't want to stay here, she wanted to go back to the capital immediately, to her master's side.

The room was quiet, no one spoke first, Li Jicai saw Bi Luo's face full of reluctance, and could understand that no woman wanted to stay here.

The words that the man had just said were still in her ears. Every time locusts occur, there will be a scene of starvation and millions of floating corpses, so this disaster is inevitable.

Li Jicai doesn't want to see a famine, and the people eat each other, it's too terrible, maybe in this, she can also try to contribute.

After staying here for a long time, from the unaccustomed at the beginning, to the habit later, so that I sincerely want to do something for the people, these are all from Li Jicai's own ideas.

And the reason why she was reluctant to return to the capital with Jiang Xihu was that in addition to worrying that the drought here would have follow-up problems, she actually didn't want to face Qi Qingchu in the capital.

But there was no follow-up, Qi Qingchu actually appeared by herself, which was beyond her expectations, and she even wanted to escape, but then he left again.

And the plague of locusts came.

This series of changes made Li Jicai feel that maybe God had his own arrangements in the dark.

And she can only follow this kind of imperceptible and unsearchable trajectory in the dark and go on bravely.

"Miss, the reason why you stay here is because you're worried about this day, right?" Jasper, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Jicai with a solemn expression, her eyes were full of firmness, as if she had made some kind of determination.

"Yes and no." Li Jicai naturally couldn't give Jasper's completely definite answer, lest they think she was a weirdo, although she was usually weird enough.

"So, miss, do you need us to come with you?" Biyu is also a good-hearted person, she knows that if there is a disaster here, the people will definitely live worse than death, there are too many poor people.

Li Jicai gritted his teeth, and then shook his head gently. She carefully considered that if the two Jasper sisters followed her, paid attention to her every move, observed her words and deeds, and if there was any accident, they would report it to Jiang Xihu.

So this is tantamount to inserting eyeliner around herself, and if she really goes to the scene of the locust plague at that time, it may be a little inconvenient.

Li Jicai has decided that she is going to help the local officials to deal with the locust plague. In any case, the people of this place must be preserved and their suffering should be minimized.

"Miss, do you need us to do something?" Even Biyu herself noticed that there was something faintly unusual about Li Jicai.

"Go back to the capital as soon as possible, and inform your master of the severity of this plague of locusts, and let him send more men at once, and gather a large quantity of grain and grass."

"However, Cheng Cheng has already reported to the master, we don't have to rush back to the capital now, it's just ......" It's just that Biluo doesn't want to stay here.

I've heard that the locusts bite people.

"Tomorrow I will go to the place where the locusts occur, I will go wherever the locusts are, as for the wounds on my body, now there is no major problem, and I have been taking Dr. Wang's medicine, there will be no problem.

As for Cheng Cheng and them, they mobilized all their manpower, and they must go to the affected places to comfort the victims and refugees, and then they must take care of all the food, and if necessary, make reasonable distributions so as not to cause commotion. Once it causes a commotion, the bad effects are even greater.

At this point, I'm just telling you that if you want to stay here, help reassure the refugees, don't have to come with me.

After a while, I will go to Cheng Cheng in person, and then explain to him what to do in this matter. “

Biyu and Biluo saw Li Jicai's eyes firm, as if they had made up their minds, so they stopped persuading him, the master said that Li Jicai's character was very stubborn, and once the matter was determined, even eight horses would not be able to pull it back.

If it's right, it's right, and if it's wrong, she'll break her head and do it, so this person is too extreme.

Don't come into conflict with her.

"Since Miss has decided, then the slave maid will not say anything more, she should fully support Miss, and please rest assured that Miss will not interfere with Miss's actions." Jasper said as if promised.

"In that case, please find me a set of men's clothes that fit my size, and it will be convenient to move at that time, otherwise going out in women's clothes will inevitably attract men's unwarranted speculation, and my actions will be restricted.

What's more, women's dresses are not as neat as men's trousers. Li Jicai took advantage of the situation and asked like his two intimate maids.

She knew that her two maids were not simple and very capable, so it was no problem to leave some logistics to them.

"Miss, don't worry, when we were with our master in the past, Biluo and I also needed to wear men's clothes from time to time, but the times were relatively small, and the slave also understood this."

"Okay, then my luggage and parcel will trouble you, I'll go to Dr. Wang and Cheng Cheng, and explain the matter again, your master has promised that once something major happens here, I will be given full authority to deal with it, so try not to question me, be sure to believe me, assist me, and cooperate with me."

Even Li Jicai, she can't be sure that she can handle this matter 100% well, so she didn't boast about Haikou in vain.

It is still necessary for everyone to discuss, everyone to make suggestions together, and she will take the lead.

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

After being trapped in the house for a long time, it's time to look at the outside world and show your ambitions.

Li Jicai has a hunch that this time, although it is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, if she tries her best to perform well in this natural disaster, establish a meritorious career, and make great contributions.

Then Jiang Xihu can't hide his own light, the last time she got off the carriage, she saw Jiang Xihu writing something on the paper, and when she saw her, Li Jiye put it away unnaturally, Li Jicai had a hunch that Jiang Xihu must be reporting on the bandits in Cuiluo Mountain this time, and it is likely that he did not bring her.

Other people may not understand, but after getting along with Jiang Xihu for so long, he can feel that Jiang Xihu is a very deep person, maybe he can really do it.

If she can help the local officials deal with the locust plague, then there will definitely be people in the court who will know about her and even recommend her to His Majesty.

Or after this locust plague is dealt with, she will have more opportunities to contact more, and even shine.

As a modern person, she has not been able to use a lot of knowledge in modern times, modern civilization is thousands of years ahead of ancient times, she still doesn't believe it, she is not as good as an ancient person as a modern person, and being an official in ancient times is nothing.

And I have always been doing small on dips, living cautiously, living honestly, which day no longer work hard, which day no longer work hard.

The result? As a result, is this how God rewarded her?

The home is gone, the people are gone, there is nothing.

If I had known that this was the case, it was really better not to let him come to this place and come to this other world in the first place.

Unlike Superman Iron Man, Li Jiye can get famous, but until now, she doesn't even know the words here.

is not from a prominent background, at the beginning was a slave of a merchant's family, and he was the kind who broke through the ugly things of his master and was hunted down and killed.

After begging, he also brought a dog and accepted a little brother, but the identity of the little brother was not simple, and he had been secretly monitored by others for several years, and finally he was tired by the little brother, the dog died, and the little brother was gone.

There are not many ways to get ahead, and the ways to make a lot of money in a short period of time are not prohibited by laws and regulations.

Now Jiang Xihu's purpose for using her is unknown, but she can climb his big tree first.

Moreover, she always remembered him firmly and remembered what Li Jiye said, he said that if a person who has made great contributions in the Chu State is likely to be additionally recruited to become an official.

It's just that this credit depends on how big it is, and it depends on the emperor's meaning.

If she can be an official in the Chu State and as a hero, then she is bound to earn a piece of the world in the court, prove the power of power to everyone, and prove to everyone that even if she is a commoner, she can counterattack, and she can give everything for her loved ones.

The reason for hoping that Li Jiye would be an official was that he could help find out who killed Mrs. Fan, and that she could earn money to buy a mansion and live in peace.

And now, the reason why Li Jicai himself became a senior official is that he hopes that he can find out everything, find out everything related to her, and figure out the ins and outs to better understand what kind of position he is in this world line.

In the end, her arrival has been arranged, and she still has to step out step by step according to her own choice.

Although, sometimes I just can't take revenge, but every time I think of their deceased voice and smile, it seems that my heart is frozen a little more.

Obviously, she wants to treat the world gently, and then live well, and she obviously wants to pray for happiness with a pious attitude, but the reality of the situation is persecuting her all the time, and her face has changed completely in an instant.

Sometimes, Li Jicai also feels that he is a person who can't understand, can't see through, and can't see through.

She didn't know what was going on with the others.

She could see her clumsiness, vulgarity, and rudeness, her cowardice, her bravery, shyness, and joy.

She believes she is kind, but she is not always kind.

She also has her own edges and corners and will stick out sharp claws when others hurt her.

She also has someone she likes, but this person she likes, even if she doesn't like it.

She is a contradiction.
