Chapter 390 Locust plague
The sunny sky suddenly darkened on this day. Just when everyone thought it was a heavy rain, they saw that the dense things falling from the sky were not raindrops at all, but thousands of locusts.
Everyone ran towards their fields in fear.
There are so many locusts that they devour crops very quickly. When they arrived, they saw that their rice fields were in a mess, and the sounds of crying and shouting could be heard everywhere.
When the emperor heard the news, he immediately summoned all officials to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone knows that locusts are extremely fast. Even if there is a way now, the crops will not be saved when it is implemented. There is no chance at all, let alone there is no way now.
So the emperor waited for a long time, but no one spoke.
On weekdays, everyone talks so much that it would be difficult for the emperor to leave the court, but today they all became mute.
Can this emperor endure it?
"Speak, I don't need your silence."
"Raise an army for a thousand days, and use it for a while. The imperial court raises you just like it raises an army, saying that the imperial court will not keep useless people."
The emperor's expression was solemn, his eyes were like torches, and his voice was majestic. Every word seemed to be contaminated with murderous intent, which was intimidating.
His Highness the Eighth Prince has been winking at Shangguan Jiuyou. His idea is very simple. Every time he encounters danger, as long as his younger siblings are around, he can avert the danger. Now he also places his hope on his younger siblings.
"Come here, drag Shangguan Wuyou down and punish him with fifty sticks."
His Highness the Eighth Prince, who was busy winking, knelt on the ground with a plop, "Father, I have been wronged."
"Unjustly accused? Isn't this a place for you to play in the main hall? Your behavior is shameless and unbecoming. If someone comes, drag him down."
Two guards came forward, "Your Highness, please."
His Highness the Eighth Prince glanced at the Crown Prince and Shangguan Jiuyou respectively. The two old men stood there without giving him a single glance.
My heart said: bullshit brotherly love is nothing.
Right Prime Minister Lu Yan came out and said, "I would like to report to your Majesty that I have a plan, but it needs to be carried out at night."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Insects like light, so lighting a bonfire at night will attract locusts to gather and burn them all to death."
As soon as the right minister finished speaking, the left minister came out.
"Right Minister, I'm just afraid that all the rice fields will be destroyed by night. Then what's the point of using the method you mentioned?"
The disdain in his voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
The right minister was not in a hurry and just said calmly, "It seems that the left minister has a better way. We are willing to hear the details."
The left prime minister raised his eyebrows and glared. In his anger, he forgot the urgent matters at the moment and wanted to have a verbal spat with the right prime minister, but the emperor spoke up.
"Prime Minister Zuo, come and listen."
"I think it should be captured immediately to reduce the harm to the fields." Thanks to an idea, he came up with a way, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.
The emperor had the urge to cut open his head and take a look. He wanted to know what kind of brain could come up with such an idea?
There are so many locusts that it doesn't take long to eat a field.
How can there be time for them to catch him?
But thinking that there was no other way at the moment, catching one would only save one, so he motioned for the right prime minister and the left prime minister to join the queue.
Then he asked, "Do you have any other good ideas, dear friends?"
At this moment, Shangguan Jiuyou remembered that he had seen methods to prevent locust plagues in his childhood.
Chu Lie said, "Father, I have seen in books how to use ducks and frogs to deal with locusts. According to records, one frog can kill thousands of locusts."
"Okay." Long Yan was delighted, "The most indispensable thing in the capital is frogs. Come here and inform the people of this method."
"In addition, we mobilized manpower from the army to catch frogs and assist the people in hunting locusts."
The people were overjoyed to know how to prevent locusts and immediately started catching frogs and releasing them into the fields.
At the same time, the big duck farmers in the capital also received the imperial order. They never imagined that they would be where they are today. They immediately felt like they were honoring their ancestors and drove the ducks to the fields with great enthusiasm.
Shangguan Jiuyou and the prince walked out of the palace, but were stopped by His Highness the Eighth Prince, who was lying on a stretcher and groaning.
"You don't want to save anyone, right? What a deep brotherhood, but in the end it's so weak that it's so fragile."
Shangguan Jiuyou thought that staying here was a waste of time, so he tiptoed, flew up, and jumped over the stretcher of His Highness the Eighth Prince.
"Lao Jiu, what's your attitude? Be careful and I'll cut you."
Seeing that Shangguan Jiuyou ignored him, he continued to shout, "Where are my siblings? Maybe she has a way to kill the locusts easily."
The prince also thought of her, "Lao Jiu, don't my brothers and sisters know about the locust plague?"
"The mother and son are at the other village."
The day before yesterday, Mumu said that he would send the snakes in the snake pit to a villa so that they could stay there permanently. Gu Nianyu, who was worried about his son going alone, also went with him.
"Go and bring her back. Maybe you can find a way to easily deal with the locusts." His Highness the Eighth Prince said while humming.
Shangguan Jiuyou ignored him and strode away.
Biezhuang.
Gu Nianyu heard a creaking voice calling for help.
Holding Mumu, they followed the sound, with Liu Yun following behind. The three of them walked into the woods and saw a pregnant rat that fell into a trap, with its legs caught in a hunting trap and unable to move.
"Dear mother, it is so pitiful, we must save it."
Green, standing on Mumu's shoulders, flapped her wings and kept shouting.
"Quiet, there are no male parrots here, why are you so excited?"
Mumu criticized, taking it off his shoulder and throwing it into the air.
Lu Lu, who didn't expect this result at all, almost didn't fly.
While flapping its wings in panic, it screamed.
In fact, there are all kinds of nagging.
