Chapter 920

On September 24, Han Jianming sent an extra discount from 800 li of Yanzhou. There's a plague of locusts in Yanzhou.

After reading it, Yuxi looked relaxed. Although both Yanzhou and Linzhou were plagued by locusts, they were not as overwhelming as Henan and Shanxi. This should be the result of killing the eggs before. Moreover, because they took precautions in advance, they killed the locusts in the quickest and shortest time.

This period of time has been worried about locusts, locusts really happened, Yuxi but calm down.

Because Linzhou and Yanzhou are the places with the most severe drought, and they are also the places where locusts are most prone to occur. Han Jianming took the initiative to come here that day.

Looking at the mountain of dead locusts, Liu Yongnan asked strangely, "Mr. Han, why don't you burn these locusts?" If you burn it, you will completely eliminate the future trouble.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "it's a pity to burn it. These locusts can be used to feed chickens and ducks. It's said that chickens and ducks lay more eggs after eating them. " This locust plague can be killed in the quickest time, thanks to the help of Liu Yongnan.

Liu Yongnan's eyes brightened and said, "what you said is true?" They also raised chickens and ducks in the barracks, and the eggs of these chickens and ducks were used by soldiers. It's just that the drought is too severe and there is no water, so all these poultry are eaten.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "nature is true."

Liu Yongnan was just excited for a short time and shook his head and said, "it's a pity that all the chickens and ducks are gone now. We can only burn them." Although it's a pity, since it can't be preserved, it's better to burn it earlier.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "not now, not in the future. The locusts are dried in the sun, then ground into powder and stored. After raising chickens and ducks and feeding them, they can lay more eggs. "

Liu Yongnan expressed doubt: "really?"

Han Jianming shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not sure. Doctor Bai said it. He said it was fried and delicious. Or let's have a taste today. "

Liu Yongnan laughed straight: "Han adults have this interest, Liu naturally accompany." When they caught those snakes and insects on the grass, they ate them raw. Now they fry them. It's too luxurious.

Han Jianming said: "today, we have a luxury." Because of the drought, Yunqing and Yuxi reduced their meals to two dishes and one soup. The officials below were very frugal when they heard about it. Now, driven by Yunqing and Yuxi, the atmosphere in Northwest China is still very good. Han Jianming to Yanzhou this month, every meal is a dish a soup, and most of the vegetables.

At dinner, Liu Yongnan also took out his liquor to entertain Han Jianming.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "it's a critical moment now. I dare not drink. Let's keep this wine. When I've dealt with the locust problem, my brother and I will get drunk again. " He didn't dare to slack off for half a moment before the locust problem was solved.

Liu Yongnan said happily, "OK, I'll keep this wine for you. When things are done, we'll have a drink. " The plague of locusts is of great importance. If something goes wrong because of him, I can't afford the responsibility at that time.

The cook brought up the fried locusts. Liu Yongnan said with a smile: "looking at this, it should be good." Then he put one in his mouth and nodded after eating: "it's fragrant and crisp, delicious." It tastes terrible when it's raw. I didn't expect it to be so delicious when it's fried. Liu Yongnan decided to fry a plate every other time.

The capture of locusts depends not only on officials and soldiers, but also on the people. The common people do not work in vain. Ten catties of locusts are exchanged for one catty of potato. Once such conditions are established, the people are still very positive. Of course, when locusts appear, it's not enough to kill them. We have to check whether they have laid eggs where they pass. If you lay eggs, you must get rid of them. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future.

Cloud engine heard Han Jianming said that the fried locust taste very delicious, with Yuxi said: "at noon we also fry a plate to try."

Yuxi showed disgust, but she did not refuse, said: "you want to eat, then let the front yard cook fried it!" It's too hard for white mother to make this dish for her.

At noon, there is a golden dish on the table. Jujube a see, immediately clip a. After eating, he was full of praise and said to liu'er, "sister, this is delicious. You can have a try."

Liu Er showed a look of disgust and asked Yuxi: "Niang, what is this? Why do you look like a bug? " Look at this thing, she has no appetite.

Yuxi worried that liu'er would vomit when he knew it was a locust, so he said, "if you don't like it, don't eat it." She can't eat it! She didn't stop Yunqing, let this thing appear on the table, is to send a signal, that is, locusts can eat, and taste very good. If we follow suit and eat locusts, the harm of locusts will be reduced.

That night, Yuxi received a discount from Fu Mingming. Fu Mingming said in the fold that there was a locust plague in Jinzhou, but because of the small number, they soon killed them. In addition, Fu Mingming also said in the fold that locusts do not eat mulberry trees, and the mulberry trees planted before are intact.

Yuxi put down the fold and said in a low voice, "there are still things that locusts don't eat. It's rare."

Although there were locusts in six states and seventeen counties, there were no serious consequences because they were caught and killed in time.

Soon, the news that there was a heavy rain in Gansu came to hocheng. Yuxi said to Xu Wu, "there have been two heavy rains in Gansu, and Shaanxi should be almost the same."

Xu Wu nodded and said, "it's the end of September. If it doesn't rain again, the common people really have no way to live." In the past three months, more than 20000 people have died in the northwest. It's still on the premise that they are well prepared.

Yuxi weighed it in his heart for a long time and said, "if you open a well in the back garden, what do you think?" Yuxi thinks that the drought in Gansu has been alleviated, and it should be almost the same in Shaanxi.

Xu Wu shook his head without thinking about it: "it's raining in Gansu, but it hasn't rained in Shaanxi up to now. When the drought will end, none of us can predict. " Besides, there's another reason she didn't say. The hottest season is about to pass. It's not good for Yu Yuxi and Yun Qing to provide water for the people in Ho City.

Yuxi thought about it and said, "forget it." Just now, Yuxi was also hesitating, otherwise he would not ask Xu Wu.

Not long after Xu Wu went out, he came back: "princess, this is a letter from Yang Duoming." The letter Yang Duoming wrote this time is quite thick.

Seeing half of the letter, Yuxi's face was gloomy.

Xu Wu asked carefully, "princess, but what happened to Lord Yang?" Yang Duoming is also a person with five character features. It's not too much to call Lord Yang.

Yuxi said: "over there in Henan, many people kill old people and children alive. They not only eat them, but also sell them..." later, Yuxi could not tell.

When Xu Wu heard these words, he didn't move his eyebrows: "Henan is suffering from drought and locust plague. The common people have no way to go. Those who want to live can only do such a cruel thing. " To be exact, they don't think it's harmful any more. If you had this idea, you would not sell human flesh.

After Yuxi was silent, he continued to read Yang Duoming's letter. After reading it, Yuxi said to Xu Wu, "Qingge is dead. When she dies, she is with he GAODA." Qingge is given to he ye, but it doesn't break the relationship with he GAODA. As for why he died when they were in love, Yang Duoming is not clear at the moment. He is still looking for the reason.

Xu Wu said: "the goal has been achieved, her life and death have no impact." Such a woman looks dirty at a glance. At the beginning, she was really bewildered. She was crazy.

"No one can deny that she lost her life because she was working for us," Yuxi said And Yuxi thinks it's not easy. Qingge is specially trained. She's the only one who lets a man die in bed. How can he be killed by a man.

Xu Wu said, "let Lord Yang bury her." Qingge has no family. They can't even take pictures of Buddha if they want to.

Yun Qing came back from the outside, opened the curtain, just heard two words of thick burial, asked: "what were you talking about just now? What kind of burial? " Hear is clear song dead, cloud Qing also didn't put on the heart. But when he heard the current situation in Henan, he was worried: "the people of Henan have reached this point now?" Even if you eat human flesh, you can still sell human flesh. It's extremely tragic.

Xu Wu saw that he had nothing to do with himself and retired.

Yunqing weighed for a long time in his heart, and said to Yuxi, "Yuxi, only when we capture Henan, can we let the people out of the sea of misery."

Yuxi shook his head and said, "not for the time being. We must wait until after the drought." The rear is unstable. The larger the area occupied, the more dangerous it will be. May be because of women's reasons, Yuxi act very carefully, not enough sure she will not do.

Yun Qing knows that Yuxi's worries are right, but if he doesn't do anything, he feels uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, Yun Qing said, "Yuxi, when the time comes, we will send troops to attack Henan and other places. This is not enough." How can Yunqing not know that Yuxi is not willing to live in the northwest! If you want to conquer cities and seize land, you must have enough people and food. There is no shortage of food for the time being, but there are fewer people.

Yuxi heard the meaning of cloud engine, this is to recruit soldiers from Shanxi and Henan. Yuxi thought for a long time, nodded and said: "yes, but the number can't exceed 100000. In addition, when recruiting soldiers, it was stated that we were only responsible for food, not salary. But after the war, they will be paid. " Even if this condition is a little harsh, Yuxi also believes that many people are willing to join the army.

See cloud Qing face dew hesitation, Yuxi said: "100000 is the limit, no matter how much we can't afford." Now the situation in Gansu and Xihai has improved, otherwise she would never agree to Yunqing's proposal.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "that's 50000 in Shanxi and 50000 in Henan." The disaster situation in Hubei is not so serious, so we won't go there to recruit soldiers.

It's settled.

PS: I made a common sense mistake. Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu belong to the Yangtze River Basin, and their floods have nothing to do with the Yellow River. Most of them have been revised. There may be some omissions. Please help me to point them out. Thank you, June is over.
