Cry Ha ha!The tyrant turned black after being attacked by me

Chapter 73 The locust plague has been brought forward by two years

Jing Jian did what he said, and immediately wrote a letter and passed it on to his subordinates.

After Su Chengxi returned to Fengwu Palace, she looked over the government affairs presented in the court, and suddenly her eyes paused, and her calm eyes instantly became serious.

Southern locust plague.

Isn't this something that should be postponed for two years?

Could it be because her upside down caused the butterfly effect?
The matter of the locust plague was a big one, she didn't make a conclusion in time, but asked Ru Lan to spread the word, and called several highly respected ministers in the court to Chengqian Palace to discuss how to solve the locust plague.

In the original text, this huge locust plague lasted for three years, causing the entire south to fall into the dilemma of food shortage. Many people were displaced, starved of food, and even cruel phenomena occurred.

Prime Minister Lu said with a solemn expression, "My Majesty the Empress Dowager, there have been locust plagues in previous years, but the solutions are only palliatives, not the root cause. Almost half of the food has been killed by locusts before they are ripe, leaving the hardworking people with no harvest. Now, Now that such phenomena have already appeared, we need to make plans early.”

This plan is naturally a disaster relief plan.

Now the national treasury is not full, and it has to be ready to deliver food and grass to the soldiers defending the enemy far away in the frontier. Now there is a plague of locusts in the south, and all the forces in the court are secretly fighting, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

Now it's autumn, which happens to be the season of abundant grain harvest. If there is no proper solution, the hard work of the Li people for a year will be in vain, and they will be hungry for at least a year.

Su Chengxi took a deep breath, turned to look at the other ministers, and asked softly: "My loves, is there anything else I can do?"

Zhong Wuhou pondered for a moment, and said: "The Queen Mother, the wormwood can drive away locusts, but due to the small amount of wormwood, the effect is not great. Now the whole south is more or less affected by locusts. Now, apart from letting the people It seems that there is no good way to drive the locusts away by ourselves."

There were no pesticides in ancient times, and Su Chengxi was not engaged in biochemistry or drug preparation. He was not good at it, but locusts were edible, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and could be grilled, fried or boiled. And stir-fry can be.

Now let the people go to catch and drive away the locusts, maybe they can't kill them all, but if it is a feasible way to let the people go to catch the locusts in the name of buying locusts?

Su Chengxi knew that today's ministers could not come up with good ideas, otherwise the original text would not have allowed the plague of locusts to last for three years.

After pondering for a while, she made a final decision: "Since none of you have any proper solution, let the Ai family make up their own minds! And let the people catch the locusts, and all the locusts caught can be taken in units of mile. Go inside and exchange for copper coins, one copper plate per catty. The collected locusts are made according to the method written by Aijia and sent to the frontier."

"This……"

Prime Minister Lu was surprised and said: "Empress Dowager, forgive me for my honest words, what is the purpose of these locusts, and why are they sent to the frontier?"

Su Chengxi said seriously: "Occasionally, Aijia got a file, and it said locusts on it, which can satisfy the hunger, and the meat is delicious. As long as it is cooked properly, it is a rare delicacy. Aijia has people tried it, and the taste is really good, and there is no bad food Influence. In this case, why can't it be sent to the frontier to give extra meals to the soldiers on the frontier?"

Prime Minister Lu frowned, unable to speak for a while.

The King of Yuancheng nodded and said: "What the queen mother said is right. When I was leading the army, I strayed into a valley, and there were no wild fruits around to satisfy my hunger, so I gritted my teeth and took the soldiers to eat locusts for a few days. I tried to eat it, but the taste is really good, and nothing happened. This king thinks this method is feasible, and this king supports the queen mother."

After Yuancheng King said that, the others had no choice but to nod in response.

The queen mother's decree quickly spread to the disaster area.

The gloomy and frowning people were first stunned, and then a happy smile appeared on their faces. No matter adults or children, they all rushed into the upsurge of catching locusts.

　La la la, good night and sweet dreams.
