Chapter 216: Locust Plague

Supervise these ministers, whether they have eaten all the locusts.

If any minister cheats and cheats, Win Zheng will not punish him, but will record it, and this person's career will be greatly affected in the future.

After the ministers had eaten the locusts.

Win Zheng, then stood in the main hall, and asked the ministers with their mouths open.

"Does this locust taste good?"

"Your Majesty is very good, very good."

There is no shortage of flattering people among the ministers, even if they ate locusts just now and they obviously want to vomit, but this does not prevent them from saying that this locust is very good at the moment.

And Ying Zheng was obviously very disgusted by these hypocritical voices, and he opened his mouth to say.

"What's good, what's good? Why don't I feel good? I almost didn't throw it up when I just ate it, but I said yes? Isn't that lying to me? ”‘

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare!"

For a while, the minister who had just flattered Yingzheng in the hall suddenly fell to his knees.

One by one, they trembled for fear of provoking the thunderous wrath of the winning government.

At this time, Ying Zheng laughed a few times.

He said.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I let you eat this locust today, with only one intention, that is, to let you know that a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and let you know how difficult it is for ordinary people to live every day!"

"Now that the locusts have crossed the border, the people still contain locusts to eat, but once the locusts cross the border, all the surrounding areas have become a withered yellow, even the green leaves can not be found, and the crops are all dead.

"At that time, the locusts will also be extravagant for them, can you know?"

"Your Majesty is kind to the people, and the ministers admire it!"

For a while, there was a compliment from the ministers in the hall.

And Ying Zheng is signaling the minister not to pat his ass.

He continued.

"The locust plague is terrible, I have already found a way to deal with the locust plague, from now on, the most important thing for me in Daqin is to deal with the locust plague that is raging now, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

For a while, all the ministers present were instantly high-spirited, and opened their mouths to say that these ministers now hate locusts to the core, and the reason is very simple.

Who made the locusts so unpalatable, and the few bites they had just eaten were still sick to their stomachs.

……

On the Guanzhong Plain.

The fluttering brass was rapidly arriving, and in the distance stood a group of people standing in a long line, torches in their hands.

The people were heavily armed and had torches in their hands, the moment the locusts crossed the border.

The people raised their torches.

Use torches to burn the locusts that pass through the border, the skin of the locusts is relatively dry, and as long as it is touched by fire, it will ignite instantly.

So use fire to deal with locusts.

It's a very suitable approach.

Except where the fire burned.

Dozens of paces behind the fire, a large net was erected in the sky.

These nets are made of simple coarse cloth, supported by bamboo poles behind them to form curtains.

Shelter these flying locusts.

Then capture them.

Then the locusts will be packed in bamboo baskets.

etc. will be used for cooking.

At this time, on the Guanzhong Plain, this kind of scene can be seen everywhere.

And while these people were dealing with locusts in transit, they were in a place where the locust plague had already raged.

The victims of the relief food distribution are holding hollow iron skewers at the moment.

And then.

Carefully poke a small hole in the ground.

Pour out the soil inside, and then observe the soil inserted in the hollow iron drill.

Look inside to see if there are locust eggs.

You must know that the place where the locusts pass through is not a single grass that will be plagued by them.

They will also leave a large number of locust eggs behind.

These locust eggs are buried in the soil.

After the next year, new locusts will sprout, and if these locust eggs are not detected in time, these locust eggs will be extinguished.

The consequence is that there will be another new locust plague next year.

There will also be heavy losses.

In such a situation.

It is also normal to completely remove these locust eggs.

Half a month later.

Daqin up and down.

Within the Guanzhong Plain.

At this moment, all the locusts have been extinguished, and the locusts left behind are all locusts from Xiaogu Xiaogu, and they are no longer able to become a climate.

Under such circumstances, the locust plague that had been in an emergency in the entire Guanzhong came to an end.

Sit on the dragon chair.

With a satisfied expression on his face, Ying Zheng said with emotion.

"This locust plague has finally passed, this time I Daqin has accumulated a lot of experience, in the future, if there is a locust plague again, I will find a way to deal with it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers all said complimentarily.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this locust plague is finally over.

You must know that in order to control the locust plague, in order to set an example for the subjects of the world to eat locusts.

Every day in these days, when Ying Zheng went to the morning court, he would give his ministers a bowl of locusts to eat.

When did the ministers of Great Qin suffer this?

You must know which official who can go to court is not a delicate and noble lord.

They are ordinary, even if it is a delicious delicacy, it will not be able to enter their mouths.

Now they can only eat locusts.

As soon as they thought of this, the ministers gritted their teeth at the locusts.

They didn't dare to be angry with Yingzheng, they could only vent their anger on the locusts, and now that the locusts were destroyed, they were naturally very happy.

And when the ministers were happy.

Inner Meng Tian of Loulan City led his army of 10,000 and had been stationed here for some time.

In Loulan City, it has returned to its former prosperity, and there is no cruel scene when the war broke out before.

The reason is simple.

The soldiers of the Great Qin Empire were not as vicious barbarians as the people in the city imagined.

On the contrary, these Qin soldiers were very disciplined, and the laws of Great Qin were relatively strict, and these soldiers were not allowed to violate military law.

In such a situation, within the city of Loulan.

With the exception of a small number of residents who had just begun to flee, most of the remaining people still lived and worked in peace.

At the same time, after the attack on Loulan City, the part of the Loulan nobles who fled was also the Loulan people.

When the terrifying combat strength of the Qin army spread the news that Great Qin had conquered Loulan throughout the Western Regions.

At this time, the entire Western Regions was shaken.

For the first time, they discovered that there was such a powerful country, and they could easily wipe out Loulan, which was not a weak country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

In such a situation.

In the face of such a powerful Great Qin Empire, what power did they have to fight back?

As soon as they thought of these monarchs of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, they sent people to send envoys one after another, and then went to Loulan.

intends to submit to the feet of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, it's better to be a dog than to be killed.

You must know that the lessons of King Loulan's past are there......
