Several villages also fell silent, except for the ruins and sparse fly ash that lingered in the wind.

Occasionally, there was a few desolate dog barks, undoubtedly due to hunger.

Zhao Si glanced at this piece of wolf, and his resolute face also showed a bit of pity.

"There's a city ahead, right? I just hope there won't be any chaos there! One of the soldiers muttered quietly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of sergeants rushing out of the city gate, apparently having received the message in advance.

"That's for us!" Zhao Si gave an order, and dozens of people behind him stepped forward to guard with swords.

Sure enough, when the group of people walked in front of him, the first person bowed down and hugged his fists, "Your Excellency was sent by the prince of Chu?" I heard that he came with a sacred object to control the locust plague? ”

"Exactly." Zhao Si nodded and said, "You can lead the way first, so as not to delay." ”

"No, please come with the villain." The man led Zhao Si and his entourage, and after turning around the street, a yamen appeared in view.

The man just now gave a salute to Zhao Si and his entourage, and then commanded loudly, "Lord County Commander, but we have ushered in the personal guard of the Prince of Chu!" Spread the word and let them rest in the city! ”

Suddenly, a civil official with a crown hurriedly appeared, humbly saying, "Thank you for coming from afar, the small county has a lot of work, please come in and rest." ”

As he spoke, he led Zhao Si and the others into the yamen, stopped and settled at the moment, and prepared a Yapan for them to express his sincere welcome.

The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, the locusts are rampant, and the government has no way to start, but now the good prescription given by the prince is in hand, and the people are saved! I only hope that the locust plague will be solved as soon as possible, and our county will be able to regain its former vitality! “

The county commander was full of emotion when he heard this, and he couldn't help but bow down.

Zhao Si did not shirk either, and repeatedly encouraged, "County master, please straighten up, as long as we do what we say, the disaster will be able to improve quickly!" ”

Under this order, Zhao Si's subordinates gathered over and whispered, "Immediately arrange manpower to start spreading the operation of spraying pesticides on crops, and there must be no negligence!" ”

"No!" The subordinates took the order and left, and no one dared to slack off.

For a while, there was a commotion in the city, hurriedly sipping pesticide water, eager to immediately sprinkle the entire city's farmland.

"Slowly, slowly!" Zhao Si hurriedly stopped everyone and said in a deep voice, "Although this pesticide is effective, it is poisonous after all, you have to 'think twice'!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and shivered involuntarily.

Seeing this, Zhao Si couldn't help but say, and personally explained every link of the spraying operation one by one.

"The concentration of pesticides should not be less than ten times that of water to dissolve one part of the powder...... Incineration residues should be made immediately after use and should not be mixed with uncontaminated substances...... When spraying, avoid people and animals, and avoid inadvertent inhalation...... Have you all kept these requirements in mind? ”

After listening to Zhao Si's advice, although everyone was a little frightened, they also had enough understanding of the danger of this highly poisonous thing, and they didn't dare to be careless.

So some went to boil water, some carefully prepared pesticide water, and some went to sort out the equipment for spraying.

Soon, I heard a burst of snorting sounds, and the first batch of pesticide water had already been sprayed on the field.

Zhao Si looked at this peaceful scene, and finally relaxed a little.

He walked up to the county magistrate and whispered, "Is there anything you don't understand, master?" The prince explained that this pesticide must not be leaked, otherwise there will be endless troubles! Afraid of the hands of people with ulterior motives. ”

The county order listened to it and couldn't help nodding.

He nodded as if he understood, indicating that he completely understood, and then asked again, "In that case, is there any other way to deal with the residue after spraying and incinerating for the time being?" ”

Zhao Si was stunned, seeing that this person was also acting and thinking, he couldn't help but feel gratified, and praised again and again, "The master is dedicated to the people, and the prince of Chu is so affectionate, so naturally there is a way to deal with it properly." ”

As he spoke, he took out a medicine guide from his sleeve and rolled the purple grass powder up and down in his hand.

"This is the method of dispelling evil given by the prince, which can completely eliminate toxicity. If you want to dispose of the residue, you first need to boil these herbs into a thick soup, put it in boiling water and stir it vigorously, and then put in the residue to remove the toxicity. ”

"After cooling, the residue is discarded and the soup is filtered out, and what remains is simply fertilizer for crops."

When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but applaud, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! The wisdom of the prince is really amazing! Your Excellency has taught us a very subtle way of recycling! What a clever ingenuity to not only destroy locusts in one fell swoop, but also to fertilize the land! ”

At the same time, the county began to boil.

First, a few officials hurried and spread the news in all directions.

Then shirtless peasants rushed in, scrambling to ask when they would get their hands on the life-saving pesticide.

"Hey! Listen! Zhao Sisi shouted, and the yamen was suddenly silent.

"Although this pesticide has a miraculous effect, it is also a highly toxic thing." He glanced around and said earnestly, "So remember to follow our instructions when using it, and don't be careless at all." The slightest negligence turns the magic medicine into poison! ”

"No, don't worry, Your Excellency." The county man hurriedly ran over, bowed and saluted: "The lifeblood of the farmer, how can you not be careful?" The subordinates then instructed their subordinates to personally teach the use of pesticides! ”

As he spoke, he summoned a few servants and whispered a few words.

In a few moments, these people poured out in groups and headed straight for the countryside and villages.

When those officials left the yamen, slowly the entire county town and the surrounding villages were boiling.

The people, who were helpless against the locusts a few days ago, have now seen a solution and are full of hope.

At this time, a large crowd of people surrounded several officials.

"My lord, quickly pass on our miracle medicine! All the wheat sprouts on my ground are about to be gnawed bald! ”

"I heard that the locust extermination elixir was made by the prince of Chu, what kind of person is this lord, who has such magical powers?"

"Don't make a mistake! I've heard that the medicine is also highly toxic, and if used incorrectly, it can hurt people's lives! ”

Countless questions and discussions filled the air.

"Slow down, slow down, give me a moment of silence!" The official at the head shouted loudly, and waited for everyone to calm down before he slowly spoke: "Although this magic medicine has miraculous effects, it is also a highly poisonous medicine." Therefore, you must follow the usage instructed by the prince of Chu, and you must not violate it in the slightest, otherwise you are afraid that it will cause a big disaster! ”

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"What? It turned out to be poison? How do you use that..."

"Did you lie to us?"

Seeing this, the official was also anxious, and hurriedly explained in a loud voice: "Stop, stop!" Don't get me wrong. This medicine is a specially formulated pesticide. (End of chapter)
