Chapter 813
The huge locust plague is actually very terrifying. Thinking about the densely packed locusts flying in the sky, rushing towards people, covering the sky and the sun, it makes one's scalp numb.

The previous dynasty experienced a locust plague that had not happened in decades, which affected the entire Central Plains. The people had no crops and could only live on tree roots.

That year, the previous dynasty was full of dangers, the court imposed heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people suffered unspeakably. In the end, the officials forced the people to rebel, and only then did the Minze Dynasty today.

Someone on the street saw the dark clouds covering the top, and an experienced old man knew that the locusts were coming, and shouted: "The locusts are coming! There is really a plague of locusts!"

People walking on the street looked up one after another. How many locusts must there be in this dark place!

"Oh my God! It's so dark, how many locusts are there? It's over, this season's grain is absolutely useless!"

"It's terrible, it's terrible. If I had known, I wouldn't have sold all the food in the family. I only kept half a year's rations. This season's grains will not be harvested. Then we will have to eat tree roots in the second half of the year!"

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up and beat these scourges to death with a broom! Kill as many as one can! We can't let it continue!" The county magistrate knew that there was a plague of locusts, and had been guarding the city wall for many days.

Seeing that the locusts really came, I quickly called on everyone to go home and get brooms.

When he knew that there was a plague of locusts in neighboring counties, he asked the police to issue a notice with drums and gongs, and asked the people in every household to prepare a big broom, and everyone beat the locusts to death together!
If you shoot one to death, you can make money if you shoot a few!
Now that the county magistrate issued an order, the people in the city and the soldiers guarding the city all ran back to the house after hearing his words, wrapped their heads in cloth, and then ran out, preparing to fight against the locusts.

Some old people who have passed through the past few years have experienced the plague of locusts in the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty superstitiously regarded these locusts as locust gods and did not dare to kill them. After a long period of miserable days, the emperor of the Minze Dynasty I don't believe this. After receiving the memorial of locust plagues in many counties on the desk, I ordered the counties that may be affected by the disaster to prepare and try to kill these pests as soon as possible.

The county magistrate of Xiangyang County thought of this method.

When Xiao'er heard the people's comments, she knew that everyone would not let the duck out. It didn't matter if they didn't let it go, she let it go!
In two days and two nights, she and Shangguan Xuanyi ran all over the fertile fields in the entire county and released tens of thousands of ducks.

These are all raised by her using the time difference in space. At dusk that evening, the last two thousand ducks were finally released on this field. Xiaoer rubbed her waist and smiled and said to Shangguan Xuanyi: "I feel like I have become a duck." It’s a professional household for raising ducks! It’s a pity that they are all raised for others!”

With so many ducks, Xiao'er didn't plan to run for another two days and two nights to get them back.

But if the locusts can't be completely wiped out in this county, they still have to catch the ducks and run after the locusts!
Xiao'er felt a headache when she thought of catching ducks one by one in the field. No way, all these locusts must be wiped out in Xiangtang County!
Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiao'er's movement of rubbing her waist, stretched out his hand to caress her back, and said distressedly: "Tired?"

"A little bit." Xiao'er nodded, and then she heard a strange sound from the sky, and the two looked up at the same time.

In the northern sky, a black cloud is slowly approaching.

Xiao'er remembered that insects have phototaxis. When this swarm of locusts arrived, it happened to be in the evening, and it was getting dark. Wouldn't it be a good time to trap them with fire?
"Brother Shangguan, hurry up, let's hurry up and tell the people to use fire to trap these locusts!" Xiao'er wanted to knock her head off, why didn't she think of this way in advance!

Xiao'er took Shangguan Xuanyi's hand, and the two quickly ran under the tree, took off the reins, and then got on the horse to notify.

Xiao'er went directly to the city to notify the county magistrate, and asked the county magistrate to send someone to inform.

Shangguan Xuanyi rode a horse to various villages to inform.

He first went to the nearest village to find the village head, and asked the village head to inform the people in the village to make some torches and build some bonfires to trap locusts.

Upon hearing this, the village head felt that it was better to burn the locusts with a torch than to slap them with a broom, so he picked up a copper pot, beat gongs and drums, and went to inform the villagers.

"Village chief, please send someone to inform the village chiefs of several nearby villages about this method! Let's go to a village farther away to inform!" Shangguan Xuanyi said to the village chief before getting on his horse.

"Okay, okay, I will." This is related to the villagers' rations for the second half of the year, so he naturally dare not be careless.

When Xiao'er came to the city gate, it was still dark, and there were locusts flying everywhere in the sky along the way.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city kept beating the locusts flying in the air with brooms, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Xiao'er looked up and saw the county magistrate standing on the city and waving a broom, she flew directly from the horse, this move made the county magistrate dumbfounded.

Princess Rui's martial arts is actually so high!She is so tall for a woman with a high martial arts, and she won't let him, a frail book, live!

Xiao'er ignored the county magistrate's stupidity, and directly ordered: "Lord county magistrate, immediately send people to the villages to trap locusts with torches and bonfires tonight. Build as many bonfires as possible! We must work hard to get rid of these locusts." Hunt and kill them all in Xiangtang County!"

The county magistrate looked at the locusts flying everywhere, and after hearing Xiao'er's words, he felt that she was being stupid again!
"Imperial Concubine, these locusts are more than tens of thousands. Isn't it a bit unrealistic to hunt and kill them all in Xiangtang County?"

"This is an order! You follow my instructions and let the villagers in the whole county use bonfires to trap locusts in the past few nights! If you can't keep all these locusts in Xiangtang County, you will wash your neck and wait for beheading Go!" Xiao'er looked at him and said coldly.

The most annoying thing about her is that she has no ability, does not listen to other people's teachings, and is self-righteous, and this county magistrate is such a person.

"I'll make arrangements now!" The county magistrate was so frightened by Xiao'er's eyes and tone that his neck felt chilly!He quickly trembled his legs, and ran down to find the head catcher.

God, where did Sha Shen come from to give him such an impossible task!

Didn't she know that locusts can fly?How to kill them all!

God!Let some poisonous rain poison these locusts to death!Otherwise, he would not want to live!

Xiao'er naturally doesn't know what the county magistrate is doing in his heart at the moment.

She jumped up, landed on the horse, and then went back to the inn to find Yangliu Yangmei, and asked them to ride the horse to inform the villagers farther away.

Locusts should be all over the county soon.

Yang Liu and Yang Mei quickly took orders and left.

After they left, Xiao'er entered the space and took out a wooden basin, filled it with space water, dripped a few drops of venom into it, then harvested a large pile of pasture in the pasture, soaked the pasture in the wooden basin, Then he left the space and left the inn again on horseback.
