Chapter 29: The Fruits of Primary Income (3)

Shi Wei, one of the several veterans of Qingshandun, was sitting in his field sighing.

Now his home is much better than when Liang Tong managed Qingshandun.

It turned out that inside the pier, there was filth and household garbage everywhere. But He Xuan forcibly ordered everyone to remove all the garbage and clean the pier. At first, the brothers in the mound were still puzzled, did they have nothing to do with cleaning? But after they really cleaned up and lived in, they found that it was much more comfortable.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

Because He Xuan did not deduct a little soldier's salary, after killing the Qing soldiers, he also divided everyone with ten taels of silver, so the soldiers in the pier had a much better life.

For example, Shi Wei's family used to eat black nests, and they often couldn't eat enough.

Now, at least I'm full, and occasionally some brown rice.

Shi Wei also decided that during the Chinese New Year, he would pull a new cloth for his mother-in-law at home. The mother-in-law hasn't pulled a new cloth for a long time.

Shi Wei has two children, his son is called Hutou and his daughter is Xiniu.

Tiger Head is eight years old, and Xiniu is six years old, both of which are just the right age.

However, just when his days were having a good time and getting more and more rushed, he suddenly had a locust plague.

Don't look at the locusts are just a small one, a small child can easily catch more than a dozen to play.

But this kind of thing, once it makes trouble, it will really be over, and the locust plague will be thousands of miles away.

Shi Wei called his mother-in-law, Li, to go to the field together, catch a few locusts, catch a few locusts, and keep a little more grain, just keep a little more. In his heart, he couldn't help sighing.

Are they about to encounter a plague of locusts? How many of the four members of the family will starve to death?

Look at the thousands of locusts in the field, and there will definitely be more locusts in the future.

At this time, Shi Wei just wanted to cry.

A feeling called despair is spreading.

"Alas, I really hope that He Tou'er will do what he says, and he can really kill the locusts. Shi Wei sighed: "Otherwise, we really can't help it." ”

"However, it is too difficult and too difficult to let the locusts die, and it is impossible to do it. Shi Wei's wife, Li Shi, shook her head and said, although He Xuan made a bet with everyone to cure locusts, she still felt that curing locusts was really fantastical and unrealistic.

As he was talking, he saw He Xuan's figure appear in front of him.

I saw that He Tou'er seemed to be buried somewhere not far away.

What is He Touer doing?

Do you want to say hello?

Shi Wei and Li glanced at each other, and were about to go to He Tou'er, but He Tou'er turned around and left after burying his things.

At this moment, a scene that surprised Shi Wei appeared.

Those locusts in the field actually began to beat wildly, and before they could beat a few times, they suddenly stopped moving, and then carefully pinched one to see, this one was actually dead.

Shi Wei and his wife Li picked up a few more locusts and found that these locusts were all dead!

In the entire field, thousands of locusts and thousands of locusts suddenly died in a short period of time. This scene is indescribably weird.

Shi Wei and his wife Li looked at each other.

They've never seen anything like that.

Why?

Could it be that He Zongqi is a god descended from heaven, and as soon as he stops there, the locusts will die?

He Tou'er really did what he said! Cure locusts with people!

How is this possible!

......

In 1639 A.D., that is, at the end of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, this locust plague in autumn caused a great disturbance.

There are locusts in the northwest, and they have all the way to Xuanfu Town.

The entire north of the Ming Dynasty was shrouded in locust plagues.

However, in ancient times, it was not considered that locusts were an ordinary insect plague, but that there was a god called the locust god, and the locust god represented the heavens and sent down punishments.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen, the current son of the Great Tomorrow, was forced to give himself a guilty edict. When he went to the Temple of Heaven to read this edict of sin, he hoped that God would take back the wrath of heaven. Then even if the edict has been issued, it is useless, the locust plague should be troubled, and it is still the same trouble.

A land of thousands of miles, continue to be harvested.

During the Ming Dynasty, the south was rich and the north was poor.

In addition, during the Xiaoice period, the north was cold and dry.

Now, there are even more victims.

Those who eat Guanyin soil, eat tree bark, a lot of them, eat these things and the stomach can't digest them, and in the end there is naturally only one way to die.

There are also a lot of people who can't survive anymore and follow Li Zicheng to do it.

When Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo Mountain, he actually brought two or three thousand people. However, after such a locust plague, the number of victims increased. His soldiers snowballed to a hundred thousand.

On the side of Qingshan Dun, there are Gushan Military Fort, Fengyuan Military Fort, Baizhang Military Fort and Scalper Military Fort next to it.

This time there was a locust plague, and there were disasters everywhere in the entire north, and their four military forts naturally couldn't avoid it.

A large amount of grain that was about to be harvested was eaten directly by the locusts, and not even a grain was left.

Such a consequence, for soldiers who have food and salary, can barely go hungry and still survive. But for many peasants in the four major military forts, they were suddenly cornered.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that in this place at the junction of the four forts, Qingshandun, there was not a single locust. Occasionally, locusts from other realms flew to this place and died immediately. When they got to the back, the other locusts didn't dare to approach here, so they flew away on their own initiative.

For a time, it became a paradise.
