Chapter 961: The End
After the locust plague was cleared, the nobles who had come to travel also left one after another.
Although their behavior is a little confusing, they still make a great contribution to Xianyang!
After their arrival, they boosted the economy of the entire Xianyang!
Inns, restaurants, cloth villages, and green buildings are full every day, and they make a lot of money!
When they have money, they will naturally consume it, which will lead to other businesses!
"It's a pity, it's only been five days since the locusts were caught, and all the locusts have disappeared!"
"It's good if you catch it for five days, but by the time we get to the third day, it's already hard to catch!"
"It's really hard to catch, and we all go to those places where the horns are thick and we can hide locusts, and there is no one on the surface!"
"I thought that the locust plague could be on a large scale, but I caught a little more on the first day, but I didn't catch much later! The kids haven't had enough to eat! ”
"Alas! I have no choice but to catch some in the summer! ”
"In summer, there are more wolves and less meat, just a few locusts, it's too difficult to catch, it's a waste of time......!"
After the locusts disappeared, the people kept shaking their heads one by one, with regret on their faces.
Everyone had prepared in advance to fight the locusts!
I also thought of dozens of ways to eat it, and I was ready to eat the locust feast during this time.
I didn't expect the locusts to disappear so quickly!
On the first day, I caught the most and made some locust powder, and after that, I couldn't even eat enough, let alone make locust powder!
Even if it was a local, a large number of outsiders suddenly poured into the city.
They also bought nets and robbed locusts with them!
"I don't know when the next locust plague will be!"
"Locust plagues are something that can be encountered but not sought, it is good to encounter them once in a lifetime, how can they encounter them again?"
"Now that the transportation is convenient, the next time we hear about locust plagues in other areas, we can also take the train to watch!"
"Yes, yes, that's right! Those outsiders can come to our Xianyang, and we can also go to them when the time comes......! ”
Thinking of this, I can also make up for the regrets in the hearts of the people a little.
After learning that the people had this idea, Ying Zheng wanted to scold his mother angrily!
He was preoccupied with the people, for fear that they would panic in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, not only did people not have a trace of panic, but they were looking forward to it.
After the plague of locusts had passed, his heart had just landed.
The people are still thinking about the next time!
Sure enough, eating too much is not a good thing!
"Is there still no one to collect the four grain drops in the city?"
At the beginning of the locust plague, Ying Zheng had asked about the Xianyang Order.
said that the people were afraid of being poked in the back, and no one took it at all.
Now that the locust plague is over, call Xianyang Ling for questioning again!
"Back to Your Majesty, there are people on duty at the four grain points day and night to release grain, and no one has gone to collect it, and even some people who pass by are far away, for fear of being misunderstood!"
Speaking of this, Xianyang Ling couldn't laugh or cry.
It seems that what they distribute is not food, but fried orders!
"It proves that the people's living standards are indeed high!"
Ying Zheng is very satisfied with this.
If it weren't for the fact that every household had enough surplus food, a large number of people would have gone to receive free food after the disaster!
"That's right! The people said that they couldn't eat all the food at home, and they could only wait for mold to get it! Just take this opportunity to consume the previous food stockpile! ”
Xianyang Ling's face was full of smiles.
"Since there is no one to collect the grain at the grain dropping point, then let's withdraw it, anyway, the locust plague is over!"
Ying Zheng gave the order.
"Yes!"
Xianyang ordered to give up his orders, and then went out of the palace and ordered people to remove all the grain points.
The next day, the front page of the newspaper officially published the news of the end of the Xianyang locust plague.
When the people in the other counties saw the newspaper, they were puzzled.
"Is the locust plague over so soon? I remember when I was a child, I experienced a locust plague that lasted for several months and spread for thousands of miles! How did this locust plague only occur in Xianyang and last only five days before it ended? ”
An elderly man was puzzled when he heard his family talk about the news in the newspaper.
"I heard from a few nobles who had just returned from Xianyang that as soon as the locusts arrived in Xianyang, they were frantically captured by the people of the whole city, and they were almost eaten in three days!"
After the locusts disappeared, the nobles returned to their hometowns by car.
The first thing I must have done was to brag about it in a crowded place, and I also took out photos for them to see!
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the news spread overnight!
"Hahaha! There is such a thing! This locust plague is really a nest, and it has not eaten the crops and grain of the people, but it has been eaten up! ”
The old man burst out laughing.
This is unheard of.
In the past, as soon as you heard that the locust plague was coming, you must have been panicked, for fear that it would affect your own county!
It's good now, as soon as the locust plague formed, it was eaten up before it could be transferred!
"Not to mention Xianyang, even some people in our county are looking forward to the locust plague coming over, but they were eaten up before they left Xianyang!"
No one could have imagined that the locust plague would disappear in such a short period of time.
"It is estimated that the price of locusts will remain high this summer!"
"That's for sure!"
Since last year's fried locusts arose in Xianyang, they quickly spread throughout Daqin.
Locusts are caught everywhere and fried in oil.
Especially those who love to drink alcohol, they have been enshrined as the most delicious appetizer!
The main thing is to go out and have it in the field, so you don't have to spend money to go out and buy it!
Eating and eating, the number of locusts is getting smaller and smaller, and the price of buying outside is getting higher and higher, and they are reluctant to eat.
As long as you catch it, you can sell it!
When this year's locusts come out, it is estimated that the price will definitely not be lower than last year!
"Whoa...... Wow...... Wow! ”
On the third day after the end of the locust plague, Xianyang City ushered in the first spring rains.
"It's raining, it's raining......!"
The people waited for a long time, and finally looked forward to this rain.
Everyone ran out into the street cheering, feeling the coolness of the rain falling on their faces!
The children were so happy to play in the rain!
Ying Zheng and the ministers who were in the early dynasty also showed smiling faces after seeing the raindrops that kept falling.
"Great, it's finally raining!"
Ying Zheng walked down from the dragon chair and stood under the porch, looking slightly excited.
Although the rain came a little late, it was still too late to sow seeds.
"Although this year's grain production will be reduced, it is better than nothing!"
Wang Ben said with emotion.
Sowing now, it is true that the ripening time of crops is shortened, which leads to a decrease in grain production.
It's much better than I thought before that there was no harvest of grains!
"yes!"
Everyone nodded again and again, looking at the drizzling rain outside with satisfaction.
It didn't rain much, but it continued to rain for three days and three nights.
The previously dry land has been revitalized, and the river has risen a lot compared to before!
