Chapter 167: Yuanxi County
There are those who can accept it, and there are those who can't.
But in the end, because Ding Mu appeared, Ning Ze asked him to eat locusts on the high platform in front of everyone, which made this flying shrimp feast outstanding.
As long as there is the first one willing to try, the people will follow suit.
When the Flying Shrimp Feast officially began, there were already countless civil and military officials and even ordinary people who saw Ding Mu to try. Some of them were surprised after eating it, but they didn't expect that locusts could actually be eaten, and they tasted good.
Until the end of the flying shrimp feast, the publicity results far exceeded Ning Ze's expectations.
Facts have proved that although some of the people of Huajun vomited and had psychological difficulty accepting the locusts, the vast majority received this new food and even felt happy.
In the era of war, there are still many hard-working people.
At present, there are quite a lot of immigrants in Golden State, almost all of whom are refugees, and they are used to living a hard life, not to mention eating grass roots and tree bark, as long as they can survive, there is no food that cannot be accepted.
Because the Golden State's policies can finally stabilize life, it still maintains this advantage.
The publicity effect of Huajun's flying shrimp banquet made Ning Ze full of confidence.
If this promotion continues, as long as about half of the people in Jinzhou can accept the new food of locusts, and the other half will do their best to catch locusts in order to exchange them for money, which will be of great help to the work of exterminating locusts.
What needs to be considered now is that the people lack experience in catching locusts, and most people are powerless in the face of the overwhelming number of locusts. It is necessary to spread the knowledge of Ning Ze's various locust hunting techniques, as well as the knowledge of making simple locust trapping tools.
On the other hand, the work of promoting the Flying Shrimp Feast throughout the territory should also be stepped up to mobilize the passion of the people, so that the countless locusts purchased can become the food in the mouths of the people and relieve the pressure of the government for disaster relief.
However, the biggest problem was the lack of manpower under Liu Yuanxiang, and the fact that the army was confronting Lu Cong in the west also greatly hindered the propaganda work.
In order to solve this problem, Ning Ze called on all officials in Huajun City to also take action, including himself, and each of them to bring people to various counties and counties in Jinzhou to assist in propaganda work, especially those places that can only barely maintain the operation of the government and cannot afford to send people to carry out official propaganda, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible.
This proposal was unanimously supported by civil and military officials, and the biggest task at the moment was to exterminate the locusts, as long as the local government offices were able to operate to a minimum level, and all manpower should be put into dealing with the locust plague.
Ding Mu also fled from other places because of the Golden State policy to arrive in Huajun.
It was also a coincidence, I arrived today, and I had not yet applied to the government for temporary housing and farmland, because I was penniless and hungry, and I heard that the government held a flying shrimp feast to teach the people how to cook locusts in order to fight the locust plague. In order to fill my stomach, I did not hesitate to come and participate.
Along the way, when I was extremely hungry, I also caught lizards and frogs on the roadside and ate them raw, but there was no resistance to locusts. When I took the first bite, I found that it was so delicious, and I immediately liked this new food.
In the face of Song Gao's solicitation, Ding Mu, who was already desperate, agreed without hesitation and joined Liu Yuanxiang's command, provided that he was full, and food, clothing, housing and transportation were indispensable.
In the face of such a talent, of course, Ning Ze will not be stingy, temporarily make him a captain, and reward the mansion and money.
Deal with Huajun's side, and hundreds of civil and military officials were sent to various parts of Jinzhou to publicize the extermination of locusts.
Chu Meiren and Mi Yan are no exception.
One of them went to Tong County, and the other went to Yuetai County, where they assisted their respective fathers, arranged a flying shrimp feast according to Ning Ze's instructions, and taught the local people various techniques for cooking locusts.
Other officials also went to the counties to cooperate.
Ning Ze himself had just returned from the front line, and after a day of rest at home, he immediately set off to go to Yuanxi County, where there were insufficient manpower, to publicize the extermination of locusts.
Yuanxi County is the fief of Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang, but Liu Yuanxiang has been raised as the king of Lingnan since she was a child, and it is publicized that Princess Yuanxi has died, but she has never been to this place.
Knowing that Ning Ze was going to Yuanxi County to hold a flying shrimp feast to promote the extermination of locusts, he immediately took Fluttershy with him, saying that he was going to see his own fiefdom, even after so many years, the people here may have forgotten this fact.
Ning Ze was so busy running around that he didn't have time to be by Liu Yuanxiang's side at all, how could he correct her orientation? Only by Liu Yuanxiang's side could there be a way for her to gradually accept herself.
There is also the lucky general Song Gao, this guy's luck is too good, and it is always good to take it with him.
and Liang Wu and Xichun are also serving, and they can't follow the chaos in the war, this situation can still help.
Rushing all the way to Yuanxi County, local officials greeted each other on the road outside the county, and Bi Gong and Bi Jing took Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze into the city.
The people of Yuanxi County crowded into a sea of people along the way to take a look at these two big men who controlled Jinzhou.
Ning Ze seized the opportunity, and after entering the city, he took advantage of the situation to promote the locust cooking technology, and took out a large number of locusts that had been pickled in advance, and ordered people to distribute them, so that those who were brave enough to try it and lay the foundation for the next flying shrimp feast.
The next day, he instructed the accompanying soldiers to quickly set up a platform for the flying shrimp feast, and took out the locusts purchased by the local government to cook, and the flying shrimp feast really achieved good results, and more than half of the local people were able to accept the new food and enthusiastically fight the locusts.
Through the passing of the pigeon, it was learned that the propaganda work of the flying shrimp banquet in various parts of Jinzhou was smooth, and even the places of Hanzhou and Chengzhou were successively publicized to the people, taking precautions, so as not to panic when the locust plague crossed the border.
This made Ning Ze breathe a sigh of relief, according to this situation, this disaster should be solved smoothly.
In order to make the local people's locust eradication work smoother, Ning Ze personally led a team to some remote villages in Yuanxi County to carry out propaganda and guidance.
On this day, I came to Longge Township, and with the assistance of the township chief, I taught the local people, and I heard that there was a family living in the mountains and did not come, so I probably didn't know about it. Ning Ze decided to go over and see it for himself, although the township chief didn't feel that he had to work hard to drive it.
So he asked Song Gao to stay here to continue to assist the people, and the local villagers led the way, planning to go up the mountain alone.
Liu Yuanxiang followed and walked with him.
So they followed the villagers and climbed along the mountain road, and with great difficulty reached the house.
Knowing that Princess Yuanxi and the military advisor Ning Ze came in person, the family was flattered.
After Ning Ze personally taught them locust hunting and cooking techniques, they were supposed to go down the mountain and join the others.
However, when leaving this house, Liu Yuanxiang was attracted by the beautiful scenery in the middle of the road, pointed to a nearby mountain and said: "The scenery here is beautiful, it is rare to come once, why don't you go up and have a look? Anyway, it's still early." ”
Ning Ze thought about it, the two of them didn't have much time to be alone, and now was indeed an opportunity.
Then he said to the villagers who led the way: "You go down the mountain and say, the princess will go to the neighborhood and go back before sunset." ”
The villagers were a little worried: "There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are fierce beasts, and the local villagers dare not go too deep into the mountains and forests......
"Rest assured, we'll be there. Ning Ze pointed to the hill not far away, "I won't go far." ”
"Do you want to be with you?" asked the villager.
"You're going to be here with you, what if our people are in a hurry? Ning Ze said, "Otherwise, you go and call my cronies to take people up the mountain." ”
"It's fine!" the villager thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't go deep into the mountains and forests, lest you encounter wild beasts." The small one will go down the mountain to call people, and the two nobles must be careful. ”
After the villagers left, Ning Ze accompanied Liu Yuanxiang to climb along the mountain road, and soon arrived at the mountain he saw just now.
Looking around at the surrounding scenery, Liu Yuanxiang was relaxed: "If you can live here, it should be good." ”
Ning Ze smiled when he heard this: "If the lord wants to live in seclusion here, he still needs to wait until the world is unified and the situation is stable. At that time, the official accompanied the lord. ”
This was written down by the palace. Liu Yuanxiang smiled, intoxicated by the mountains and rivers.
Ning Ze hasn't relaxed for a long time, he has been busy with official business or fighting outside, but he is actually quite tired.
This is different from the game, where fighting a war is not just a matter of clicking the mouse.
The two of them are in this scenery at the same time, relaxing and simply enjoying the intoxicating scenery under the warm sunshine.
Ning Ze stood on the side, and saw that Liu Yuanxiang was completely relaxed, no longer the kind of serious expression made in the court, but a happy smile from the heart, and a rather charming side face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. I was about to take this opportunity to talk to her, but I saw Liu Yuanxiang pointing nearby in surprise: "Look!"
Following her point, it turned out that there was a natural lake in the nearby mountains, and the water of the lake was clear, and the surrounding lush scenery was even more charming.
"Don't you feel like the beauty in the painting?" Liu Yuanxiang sighed, "I can't imagine that there is such a fairyland in my fiefdom." ”
"It's really beautiful!" Ning Ze looked at Liu Yuanxiang and then at the lake, pun intended.
Liu Yuanxiang didn't hear anything, turned his head and said excitedly: "Let's go for a walk by the lake?"
"The villagers said they couldn't go deep into the mountains and forests......
"I just went to the lake, but I didn't go deep into the mountains and forests!" Liu Yuanxiang said, "And it's not far from here, and our people can see it at a glance when they reach the top of the mountain." ”
It is rare for Liu Yuanxiang to have this Yaxing, and Ning Ze followed her. Anyway, any danger, he can handle it.
It's not like when I was almost eaten by a tiger when I first crossed over. With his strength at the moment, not to mention the tiger, even the dog, bear and lion will still be overturned.
He nodded immediately: "It's okay, but the subordinate needs to leave a mark again, so that the soldiers can see it when they come." ”
He took some stones and pieced together arrows pointing to the lake on the ground, and at the same time laid out the words of this world to inform him of the location of himself and Liu Yuanxiang.
After that, he took Liu Yuanxiang and looked for a way to move towards the lake.
All the way to the lake, it is like entering the world of painting, which is refreshing.
Such a beautiful scenery is also extremely rare for Ning Ze.
In fact, in his previous life, as an otaku, he rarely left home to travel.
Not to mention, I still follow a beautiful woman to play here, and the other party is still a noble princess.
It's like last night's dream!
If this is a dream, I hope you never wake up!
