In the dark night, the firelight is completely irresistible to the insects. Countless locusts fluttered their wings and flew towards the fire, one after the other.

Lu Wei's eyes narrowed, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Moths to the fire!" ”

Everyone knew this, but no one thought of using this method to exterminate locusts!

Officials and peasants had already taken out all kinds of tools they had prepared, such as nets and shovels, to hunt and kill locusts.

Many locusts were scorched by the fire, and a strong smell of fragrance came.

Some children shrugged their noses and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Go taste it!" Zhang Yuqing encouraged, this thing is high protein and low fat, and it is a good food.

Du Jingyi shook his head with a smile and held his forehead, his owner is really different.

After determining the method of exterminating locusts, Zhang Yuqing asked Kou Leguo to formulate a task, and each village handed over locusts according to the head, and each person was fifty catties. If you have difficulty paying taxes, you can delay or reduce the payment of food, but this thing cannot be discounted.

Lu Wei did what he said, and on the second day after returning to Baochuan City, he sent an urgent message to Emperor Anping, saying that he was very shocked and saddened to learn the news of the frequent locust plagues in various places, and he couldn't sleep at night, and finally let him come up with a peerless trick, that is, to let the auspicious rui of the daughter of the phoenix shine on the earth, and ask the queen mother to go out of the palace to inspect the place where the locust plague occurred, and use the auspicious light to scare off the locusts.

Emperor Anping almost fainted out of breath.

Also auspicious light? Where did Zhang Yuying's stupid woman come from? It's Kude's old bald donkey who fooled him! casually pointed to a straw bag and deceived him into being the daughter of the phoenix, he is a peerless injustice!

Now that he has married and his son has been born, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

But do you really want Zhang Yuying's straw bale to go to the locust plague to inspect the place, and not show her stuffing on the spot? If the people rumored that the daughter of the phoenix was fake, wouldn't he, the true son of the dragon, also be fake?

Emperor Anping gritted his teeth and replied, the plan offered by Aiqing is very good, don't offer it in the future!

As soon as Zhang Yuqing's order to exterminate locusts came out, in less than half a month, the number of locusts in Liangzhou was greatly reduced, and it was almost difficult to see swarms of locust armies anymore.

After Zhang Yuqing's method was tested and effective, he immediately reported the detailed method of exterminating locusts, and wrote it into the fold without any selfishness, and noted in many places that it was an effective strategy for culling locusts found by his wife Zhang Yuqing and several agricultural officials working in the fields day and night.

His wife is not a demon, she is a smart and kind, unparalleled unicorn girl!

After writing the recital, Mr. Lin pressed Lu Wei's hand and said, "Have you thought about it?" When the word locust extermination is spoken, I am afraid that those pedantic people and flattering people will attack the lord again! ”

Emperor Anping was likely to take the opportunity to attack and reprimand and accuse Lu Wei of disrespecting imperial power and wolf ambition.

In the end, it ended up with a thankless ending.

The emperor Duchrysostom labeled Lu Wei as a traitor, and Lu Wei's reputation must have been greatly damaged, although it will not shake Lu Wei's foundation, but the emperor's reprimands and suppressions again and again are also unfavorable to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei looked at the ink before it dried, and said solemnly: "My wife said a sentence that touched me very much, she said that people should do things but do good things, don't ask about the future." ”

Exterminating locusts will benefit the country and the people, that's all.

Mr. Lin clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay! A good sentence but do good deeds, don't ask about the future! ”

This is really the best sentence he has ever heard, worthy of the lord and lady, such a generous bearing, it is difficult to find someone with the same mind!

When a confidant died, he once again felt that he had followed the right person. Such a lord and mother are worthy of his dedication and death, and he is worthy of his full assistance and dedication.

Many people in other places have already received the locust extermination strategy sent by Zhang Yuqing, and in order to protect themselves, they have begun to quietly kill locusts, and they can save a little crop.

However, at this time, the locust plague in Sizhou and Youzhou had reached a very serious point, and this year's grain failure had become a foregone conclusion. In order to show his benevolence, Emperor Anping ordered the officials to halve, and Zhang Yuying also set an example as the queen, and the harem was halved.

But ironically, the taxes imposed by Emperor Anping on the heads of the people did not mean to reduce a single penny.

Someone summed it up, Emperor Anping took a lot of things from the people, but less than half of them were sent to officials and concubines, the people had no food, the officials had no money, and the concubines had no jewelry and clothes, and the whole thing reached the end that only Emperor Anping benefited.

The court quarreled because of the method of exterminating locusts openly proposed by the Liangzhou side, not because the method was effective or invalid, but because of whether the locusts could be exterminated.

After all, the word "locust" sounds the same as "emperor", and whoever wants to exterminate locusts is disrespectful!

What's more, who doesn't know that Emperor Anping doesn't like Lu Wei? When Lu Wei proposed this plan at this time, he must have openly flouted the imperial power and was arrogance!

To everyone's surprise, Jin Yongkang, who had always been eager to step on Lu Wei under his feet, and was about to scold Lu Wei at the opportunity, was silent this time, and when he went to court, he held the wat board and wandered out of the world.

Someone teased him about how he changed his sex, did he see that Lu Wei was gaining power and wanted to please Lu Wei, Jin Yongkang was anxious, "This method of exterminating locusts was thought up by Mrs. Lu, and it is not Lu Wei's dog thing!" What do I have to object to? ”

He and Lu Wei have been inseparable for 10,000 years!

Everyone was shocked, Jin Yongkang and Lu Wei are enemies, and Mrs. Lu is true love, is that so?

I heard that Jin Yongkang also sneaked into Liangzhou and eloped with Mrs. Lu!

Could it be that Lord Lu snatched love with a knife back then?

Wonderful......

Jin Yongkang looked at everyone's various wonderful expressions, and said solemnly: "Don't think about it! The locusts have eaten up all the grain, and the people must not rebel? I am a courtier of Great Xia, and everything I do is from Great Xia, and I am absolutely selfless! ”

To explain is to cover up, and to cover up is to have something.

Everyone ate melons and went away satisfied.

The small-scale gossip in the capital did not reach Liangzhou, after all, everyone only dared to be lustful in their hearts, quietly satisfied their perverted psychology, and did not dare to really say it in public, Jin Yongkang is a mad dog biting people everywhere, and he is the emperor's cousin, who dares to provoke him?

As for Lu Wei, no one dares to provoke him, offending Jin Yongkang will be bitten on the calf at most, and if he offends Lu Wei, he may be bitten off his neck.

Emperor Anping secretly hated Lu Wei for many things, in his eyes, Lu Wei was for the country and the people, he clearly wanted to grab the credit, and did not take him as the emperor in his eyes.

Lu Wei's excerpt, Emperor Anping, let it go for two days, and then found a time to scold Lu Wei, scolding him for despising imperial power and disrespecting the emperor. But as for what the officials below do, Emperor Anping turned a blind eye.

He was very uncomfortable listening to the word locust extermination, and Lu Wei brought it up, so he was naturally against it, but the locusts had eaten up the grain, and those mud legs were hungry and wanted to rebel.

The two sides weighed, and Emperor Anping simply didn't care. If the people have the courage, they will destroy the locusts, and if they have no courage, they will starve to death.

The Liangzhou side collected the collected locusts to the government, dried them in a dry place, and chopped them into minced pieces, which became the best feed for chickens, ducks, geese and fish, and there was no waste of them.

Thanks to the efforts of Zhang Yuqing and others, the locust plague, which was supposed to cause a large number of yield reductions and crop failures, only started in Liangzhou, and then it was dumbfounded and disappeared without a trace.

The Lu family in the capital, until the Dragon Boat Festival, the letter that Lu Dewen had been looking forward to day by day finally arrived.

To be honest, although he values his sister-in-law Lu Wei the most, what he loves most in his heart is the concubine born to his aunts. After all, the aunts and concubines are obedient and will please him, and Duan Shu and Lu Wei pulled their faces when they saw him, as if he owed them eight million taels of silver.

Lu Dewen looked at the several letters on the table with different fonts, but the contents were almost exactly the same, and fell into deep thought.

Why do the concubines say that they are in good health, eat well, have a tight time, are full of spirit, have learned a lot of skills, are making progress every day, and have completely departed from the once decadent and backward life, and are no longer the tears of the old era?

It's almost as if someone had a sample letter and asked them to copy it......

No, it can't be! Who would do such a boring thing?

Since the sons all say that they are doing well, what is there to be bad about? Lu Wei understands that no matter how cold he is on the outside, he is still kind and soft on the inside, and he will definitely not treat his brothers badly.

His sons are all leading the way with their heads held high!

But then again, Lu Dewen touched his beard and fell into deep thought, what kind of official did Lu Wei give to his younger brothers? Fourth or fifth? Why didn't the letter say it? Was it to give him a big surprise?

At this time, the Zhang family was in the palace, eating the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet with the queen.

After eating, Mrs. Zhang and the old lady were summoned by the Queen Mother to chat, Emperor Anping went to have fun by himself, Zhang Yuying finally got a chance to catch her breath, and pulled a few younger brothers and sisters to talk.

Naturally, it is the topic of "locust extermination" that has been very lively recently.

Zhang Yuying was annoyed, and scolded Zhang Yuqing for a bloody head, before they finally came up with a plan, wanting to frame Zhang Yuqing as the reincarnation of the demon, causing a locust plague, but I didn't expect Liangzhou to spread the method of exterminating locusts and take back a city.

The name of the unicorn is even louder.

Zhang Yuying said a word, and Zhang Yuqian echoed a sentence.

"Reputation seekers! Accustomed to pretending! Zhang Yuying was tired of scolding, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and continued to scold, "What does she know about how to kill locusts as a country girl?" So many capable people can't exterminate locusts, but she will? Laugh to death! Lu Wei is really good at putting gold on her face! ”

Zhang Yuqian was indignant, "Brother Lu is blinded by lard and deceived by that broom star!" ”

The sister and brother scolded for a long time, and found that the two of them were talking like cross talk, and there was not even a cheering audience, so they looked at Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Yushu, who had been silent.

Zhang Yujin was still young and was directly ignored by his sister and brother.

The glittering golden and dazzling queen spoke, "Yu Cheng and Yu Shu, what do you two think?" ”
