Chapter 214 Eating Locusts

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement: "It just so happens that this time a lot of fishermen from the East Island Kingdom were captured. Maybe I can ask them for advice on this."

Xiang Kunlun thinks this is indeed a good idea.

"Okay, then do as you say."

Combining the opinions of Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, Xiang Kunlun began to build a military base and vigorously select talents.

Zhuge Liang posted the notice according to his instructions, and soon attracted countless people to watch.

It has been a long time since their emperor posted a notice, and everyone is very curious to see what happened.

Nowadays, most of the common people already know a lot of characters, and there will be no absolute illiteracy, it is just a matter of more or less literacy.

The people behind couldn't see clearly from a distance, and asked anxiously, "What does it say?"

The content on the notice was passed on one by one, from the front to the end, and everyone knew it.

The two young men in the corner, when they heard that their emperor was selecting talents, excited expressions appeared on their faces.

"Zhang San, don't you usually study this stuff? Hurry up and sign up. This is a perfect opportunity for you."

The man named Zhang San was a 17-year-old boy.

Although he was wearing coarse clothes, he couldn't hide the arrogance between his brows.

The person talking to him was his younger brother, Li Er.

Li Er patted Zhang San on the shoulder and was persuading him endlessly.

"Our emperor cherishes talents and loves talents. If you go, as long as you make some achievements, you will be put into great use by the emperor. Oh, then my friend's face will also be bright."

Zhang San had long wanted to realize his ambition, and now that he had such an opportunity, he didn't want to hesitate any longer, and signed up immediately.

Soon, more and more people signed up, and good people from all walks of life came one after another.

Finally, Zhuge Liang counted the number of applicants, and even he himself did not expect that there were as many as 100 people.

He compiled the list and gave it to Xiang Kunlun for review.

Xiang Kunlun taught Zhuge Liang a method of governing them. As the saying goes, to attack people, you must attack the heart first.

The whole country is developing rapidly and rapidly.

A peaceful afternoon.

Suddenly there was a scream from the ground.

"Well, what's going on here?"

The woman looked frightened and pointed not far away.

Her husband ran out in a hurry: "What's the matter?"

Following the direction of the woman's finger, he found a dark thing not far away.

I couldn't tell if it was dust or some other bug, and it was drifting towards them at a very fast speed.

He rubbed his eyes, as if they were ordinary locusts.

With her husband by her side, the woman calmed down a little.

She said doubtfully: "But the locusts we usually see are just a few. Why are there such a large group of locusts this time?"

Men are also puzzled.

Just as they were talking, the group of locusts got closer and closer to them.

Wherever they go, the food in the ground is quickly eaten up.

The man felt that the situation was wrong and pushed his wife into the house.

"Go in quickly, I'll find someone else."

The people in the village soon came out with tools.

Although they were not afraid of locusts, they were still somewhat apprehensive when they saw so many swarms gathered together.

But if they don't stop it, they will eat up all the food in the field.

The man in the lead gritted his teeth: "Come on! Kill all these pests!"

Everyone stepped forward to expel them, and finally drove the large locusts away.

Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, they flew back again.

It was like this for several days, causing the common people to suffer unspeakably.

This matter quickly attracted the attention of the local county magistrate, who hurriedly reported the matter, and finally reached Xiang Kunlun's ears.

Xiang Kunlun understood at a glance that this was a plague of locusts.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Kong Ming knows that there is a bird that likes to eat these locusts."

Others think this method is feasible. As the saying goes, mutual generation and mutual restraint, as long as the natural enemies of the locusts are brought in, these locusts can definitely be wiped out.

But Xiang Kunlun said no, he said with a smile: "Kong Ming, although your method is good, it is not the fastest method."

Zhuge Liang really couldn't figure it out. Besides, what's the fastest way?
Xiang Kunlun had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

In modern times, there have been several invasions by alien species.

As a result, whether those animals or plants went to other countries, they caused damage to the local ecological environment.

Only when they arrived at their place, they were directly made into delicacies by foodies, and they almost died of eating them.

Therefore, if alien species want to invade in the future, it is best to choose a place where they will not be eaten.

"Wen Yuan, Zhong Kang, you two, grab me a bag of locusts."

The two were very curious, and soon according to Xiang Kunlun's instructions, they caught a sack full of locusts.

Xiang Kunlun directly carried the locusts to the imperial dining room, so under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiang Kunlun heated up the oil in a pan, and directly put the half-suffocated locusts into the oil pan.

Put in the seasoning, stir-fry for a while, and soon a very fragrant smell spreads into everyone's nose.

Only then did everyone realize that their emperor fired the locusts directly? !
While he was stunned, Xiang Kunlun had already prepared this fried locust feast and started to plate it.

The cook next to him was already dumbfounded, and just watched helplessly, forgetting to go forward to help.

Xiang Kunlun didn't mind either, and put a plate of fried locusts in front of everyone.

"Come on, everyone, try it."

I saw the locusts in the plate were golden in color and had a fragrant but not greasy smell.

Everyone has never eaten, and they dare not be the first to go forward.

But in the end curiosity triumphed over fear.

Dian Wei grabbed the wing of a locust and put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"It smells so good! It's delicious!"

In the blink of an eye, two or three more locusts entered his mouth.

Seeing him like this, everyone rushed forward to grab it.

"You leave one for me too!"

"Don't squeeze, I haven't eaten yet!"

They never thought that locusts could be so delicious!

Later, Xiang Kunlun taught them other production methods, which were soon spread to every household.

Except for some timid people who didn't dare to eat, most people were satisfied with the food and said it was so delicious.

In addition, Xiang Kunlun also sent soldiers to help the common people catch the locusts and feed them to chickens and ducks.

This method worked immediately, and in less than a week, it took a long time to find a locust in the field.

The common people felt sorry that they had not had enough of it.
