In this big summer, I worked in boats and cars along the way, it was hot and tired, and Zhongzhou was dry and good, and I was left to suffer.

Ye Hanyu seemed to be afraid that she would not give up, raised her chin with one hand, stared at her eyes and asked, "Then you promise the master, after the master leaves, you will honestly guard the two children in the mansion and wait for the master to come back." ”

Gu Wanning pulled the hand that was pinching her chin, but unfortunately, she didn't pull it away, so she said angrily: "Don't wait for you, you go on the front foot, and I will take the child to live on the Zhuangzi with the back foot." ”

Ye Hanyu suddenly laughed: "It's okay to live in Zhuangzi, take the children to pick fruits, and the newly dug fish pond can also fish, or you can call the fifth sister-in-law to go with you, you also have a companion." ”

Gu Wanning pinched his waist, "It's okay if I don't go, but there is something that you have to promise me." ”

Ye Hanyu said: "You say, listen." ”

"Bring Hongmei and Qingzhu with you, you know the skills of these two girls, and I can rest assured that they follow me."

"No, I can only rest assured that they are by your side......"

"I have two Chunlan Qiuju by my side, it's enough for self-preservation, I will go to Zhongzhou, it will never be smooth, you can stay in the capital with peace of mind."

It means that if she doesn't take these two girls with her, she will be able to go to Zhongzhou with her because she is not worried about him.

Ye Hanyu said helplessly: "Okay, well, it's all up to you." Take them and take them. ”

Anyway, the people he has cultivated himself have to be used, and this time let them be responsible for the safety of the princess and the children.

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Wanning's eyes flashed with a glint of successful strategy, and then pushed Ye Hanyu out.

"Master, you hurry up to the front yard and Xiao Changshi to sum up this disaster relief, I want to prepare luggage for you."

Ye Hanyu: ...... It always felt like something was wrong.

After Ye Hanyu left, Gu Wanning immediately asked people to go to the palace of the five counties, and wrote a list for people to buy on the street.

Because of the need to escort grain and grass, Ye Hanyu's departure was delayed for another day before he went on the road, but not far from the capital, the guards came to report, there were more than a dozen cars loaded with chickens, ducks and geese followed behind them, and inquired, and it was the princess Zhuangzi's steward who drove the car.

Ye Hanyu immediately hit the horse to inquire, and the steward showed a mouthful of big white teeth and said with a smile: "This is what our princess asked us to take to Zhongzhou, saying that these things are very useful, we just obey orders, and we don't know how many of them." ”

Ye Hanyu: ...... Useful? It's not going to be saved for him to drink in soup!

But what it does! Anyway, the princess asked her to bring it, and there are not too many of these poultry, so take it with you.

As a result, I didn't expect that along the way, the convoy of poultry was getting longer and longer, and I learned that these poultry were all from the five princesses Zhuangzi, not only that, but also some of the poultry they purchased after receiving the news, and then there were more to the south.

Ye Moxuan was a little confused by this battle, other people's men and women all sent some clothes and food when they went out, why did they get so many stinky chickens and ducks?

"Sixth, isn't this nonsense? We're here for disaster relief...... "What does it look like to bring such a bunch of poultry?" …

Ye Hanyu really didn't take these chickens and ducks seriously at first, but as there were more and more poultry, he felt that the princess must be calculating something.

But what is it?

If you don't understand it, you won't think about it, even if it's useless, won't you still be able to add food to the victims?

As for feeding these poultry, there are also people from the fifth sister-in-law Zhuangzi who are in charge, "You have to bring these for disaster relief, and if the food runs out, you will kill these for the victims to eat." ”

Ye Moxuan: Okay, as long as it is related to the sixth brother and sister, the sixth brother has no principles at all, anyway, it is not him who is smoked, so bring it.

Because I was in a hurry day and night, and after walking on the road for more than ten days, I could see some people on the road, and those people were either riding or walking, and it seemed that they had come from the south.

Ye Hanyu asked people to inquire about the situation in Zhongzhou, but the news they got was not very optimistic.

"The drought in Anyang County is the most severe, the wells are dry, the grain is not harvested, some families with poor conditions have long fled the famine, and the remaining ones who are in the village are estimated to not last long.

The patriarch said that after the drought, there was a high probability that there would be a plague of locusts, and if it didn't rain again, the people would really not survive.

We also have no choice, the family has no money, we can't buy high-priced food, so we can only leave our hometown to beg for food in other places. ”

After walking forward for a few more days, the road became more and more desolate, until I walked into the territory of Zhongzhou, even the green was rarely seen, the road was full of people fleeing the famine, and those who were so hungry that they could not walk, after learning that the court had sent people to relieve the disaster, and that there would be a steady stream of food to send over, they simply did not leave.

Ye Hanyu sent someone to find local officials and began to give porridge, while he continued to Anyang County with the convoy.

However, when they arrived in Cheng'an County, which was more than 100 miles away from Anyang, they heard bad news that Anyang County had found a large area of locusts.

Ye Hanyu suddenly sighed in his heart, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Anyang is now ten rooms and nine empty, and with the locust plague, those people have to flee far away, even if they spend money to hire people to catch insects, they can't do it.

Moreover, if it doesn't rain, even if there is food, the people can't even boil porridge, how to solve this locust plague?

The two brothers had been worried all the way, and at this time they were more and more depressed in their hearts, so they had no choice but to send someone to Anyang Mansion to spread the news that if they caught locusts for three catties of food, they could also directly exchange locusts for copper plates, ten cents per catty, or for water, and three catties of locusts for one water bladder.

At this time, the price of rice in Zhongzhou has reached an incredible point, and the rice, which is usually only eight to ten yuan, has already increased four or five times, and at least forty or fifty copper plates per catty, and the same is true for coarse grains, and you can't buy too much grain if you have money, and the stores with grain are already restricting purchases.

Ye Hanyu knew that this was not the time to control grain prices, and it would be difficult for the price of rice to drop if it didn't rain in Zhongzhou for a day, because the cost of transporting rice was much higher than before, not to mention that the drinking water consumed on the way alone was a huge expense.

The convoy finally arrived in Anyang after two more days, looking at the locusts all over the streets, and the group ordered to provide disaster relief only felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

He Chu, who arrived in Anyang a day earlier, wanted to report on the day's harvest, but was interrupted by red plums and green bamboo.

Ye Hanyu: "You two have something?"

"Lord Wang, the master has explained before he comes, if there is a locust plague in Anyang, immediately release these poultry we brought, it will have a miraculous effect." Qingzhu Road.

The fire burned his eyebrows, Ye Hanyu didn't care about thinking about it so much, and directly ordered people to drive all the chickens, ducks and geese out of the car, along the way, these poultry were also hungry, especially in the last two days, just give them food so that they don't starve to death, as soon as they are free, they will fly towards the locusts like crazy, and the guards will not do anything else, so they will drive these poultry to the field to catch insects and eat.

The growth of the locust is divided into three parts, the egg, the nymph, and the adult, and it does not fly at the beginning, but after it becomes an adult, the wings are fully developed.

In the process of growing from nymphs to adults, it takes about 35 days for the locusts in Anyang County to be discovered, so they can't fly yet, but the locusts all over the mountains still make people feel numb to watch.
