Several villages also fell into deathly silence, with only broken walls and sparse fly ash lingering in the wind.

Occasionally, there are a few melancholy dog ​​barks, undoubtedly caused by hunger.

Zhao Si glanced at the mess, with a hint of pity on his usually resolute face.

"The city is ahead, right? I just hope there won't be any trouble there!" A soldier muttered in a low voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed out from the city gate, apparently having received the message in advance.

"That's to welcome us!" Zhao Si gave the order, and dozens of people behind him came forward to protect them with weapons in hand.

Sure enough, when the group of people came to the front, the leader bowed and clasped his fists, "Your Excellency, you were sent by Prince Chu? I heard that you are here with a magical object to control the locust plague?"

"Exactly." Zhao Si nodded and said, "You can lead the way first to avoid delays."

"Nuo, please follow me." The man led Zhao Si and his party, and after circling through the streets, a government office appeared in sight.

The man just now saluted Zhao Si and his entourage, and then shouted loudly, "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, we have welcomed the personal guards of Prince Chu! Quickly send a message to let them enter the city to rest!"

After a moment, a civil servant wearing a imperial crown hurriedly appeared and bowed humbly: "Thank you all for coming from afar. You have worked hard in this small county. Please come in and have a rest."

After saying this, he led Zhao Si and others into the Yamen. He immediately made arrangements and prepared an elegant plate for them to express his sincere welcome.

There is more ambition but less power. Locusts are rampant and the government has no way to deal with them. Now that the prince has given him a good remedy, the people are saved! I only hope that the locust plague will be resolved soon and our county can regain its former vitality! "

The county magistrate was filled with emotion when he heard this and couldn't help but bow down and salute.

Zhao Si did not refuse, and encouraged him again and again: "Master, please straighten your back. As long as you do what we say, the disaster situation will get better quickly!"

After this order, Zhao Si gathered his subordinates together and whispered, "Immediately arrange manpower to start spreading the crops and spraying pesticides. There must be no omissions!"

"No!" The subordinates followed the order and left, no one dared to neglect.

For a moment, the city was abuzz with noise and people were hurriedly spraying pesticide water, hoping that the entire farmland in the city would be sprayed immediately.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Zhao Si quickly stopped everyone and said in a deep voice, "Although this pesticide is effective, it is poisonous after all. You should think twice before you act!"

Everyone looked at each other and shuddered involuntarily.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Si couldn't help but explain every aspect of the spraying operation in person.

"The concentration of pesticides must not be less than ten times the amount of powder dissolved in water... The residue must be incinerated immediately after use, and do not mix with uncontaminated things... Keep away from people and animals when spraying, and avoid inadvertent inhalation... and so on. Have you all kept these requirements in mind?”

After listening to Zhao Si's instructions, everyone was a little frightened, but they also had enough understanding of the dangers of such highly toxic substances and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

So some went to boil water, some carefully prepared pesticide water, and some went to organize the spraying equipment.

Soon, bursts of hissing sounds were heard, and the first batch of pesticide water had already been sprayed on the fields.

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

He walked up to the county magistrate and whispered, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Your Majesty has told me that this pesticide must not be leaked, otherwise there will be endless troubles! It will be in the hands of people with ulterior motives."

The county magistrate couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

He nodded vaguely, indicating that he fully understood, and then nodded and asked, "In that case, if the residue after spraying is temporarily incinerated, is there any other way to deal with it?" Zhao Si was startled, and he did it when he saw this person. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel gratified and praised repeatedly, "I am dedicated to the people. Prince Chu is so affectionate, so naturally he has a way to deal with it properly."

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

"This is the way to get rid of violence as taught by the prince, which can completely eliminate the toxicity. If you want to dispose of the residue, you need to boil these medicinal materials into a thick soup first, stir it vigorously in boiling water, and then add the residue after it smells fragrant. The poison can be eliminated.”

"After cooling, pour out the residue and filter out the soup. What remains is simply fertilizer for crops."

When the county magistrate heard these words, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Your Majesty's wisdom is truly amazing! Your Excellency has taught us an extremely sophisticated recycling technique! It can eliminate locusts in one fell swoop. What an ingenious idea it is to fertilize the land!”

At the same time, the county began to boil.

First, several government officials rushed around to spread the news in all directions.

Then shirtless farmers rushed in, asking when they could get the life-saving pesticide.

"Hey! Listen!" Zhao Si shouted, and the yamen suddenly became silent.

"Although this pesticide has miraculous effects, it is also highly poisonous." He glanced around and said seriously: "So when using it, remember to follow our instructions and not be careless at all. If you are not careful, the magic medicine will become poison. "

"No, don't worry, Your Excellency." The county magistrate hurried over, bowed and saluted: "How can we not be careful about the lifeblood of a farmer? I will instruct my subordinates to personally teach the use of pesticides!"

With that said, he summoned a few government officials and whispered a few instructions.

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

When those government officials left the government office, the entire county and surrounding villages slowly boiled.

The people who were helpless against the locusts a few days ago now have hope after seeing the solution.

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

"Sir, please pass on our magic medicine quickly! The wheat seedlings on my ground are almost gnawed bare!"

"I heard that the locust-killing medicine was created by Prince Chu. Who is this gentleman? He has such great powers?"

"Don't make mistakes! I've heard that the medicine is also highly poisonous. If used improperly, it can hurt people's lives!"

Countless questions and discussions floated in the air.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, please be quiet!" The leader of the government office shouted loudly to stop. After everyone calmed down, he slowly said: "Although this magical medicine has miraculous effects, it is also a highly poisonous medicine. Yin. So you must follow the instructions given by Prince Chu and do not violate them at all, otherwise it may cause disaster!"

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.

"What? It's actually poison? How can it be used..."

"Could it be that he lied to us?"

When the yamen servant saw this, he became anxious and quickly explained in a loud voice: "Stop, stop, stop! Please don't misunderstand. This medicine is a specially made pesticide." (End of Chapter)
