    "The little prefect, the great governor, Greedy Wolf Star, descended to the mortal world, holding a dragon-slaying sword, slaughtered millions of troops, the locusts spread their wings and flew thousands of miles, and now they fell into the gate of hell", in the sound of crisp nursery rhymes, a vigorous  The 'Locust Extermination Operation' has begun!

    If you implement a government order from the bottom up, it is like sailing against the current, making it difficult to move forward. On the contrary, if you implement it from the top down, it is like sailing with the current, making thousands of miles a day

    After eating 'Locust Cake' and drinking 'Locust Porridge', those officials and powerful people who were originally very resistant to the 'Locust Extermination Order' immediately made a 180-degree turn and became Xiao Yi's  A die-hard supporter, he also became the leader of the locust eradication operation!

    These people run around in the fields every day, carrying an iron pot with them, urging the people to boldly hunt locusts and protect crops. If they encounter someone who is stubborn, they don't explain much and just grab a handful from the field.  Throw the locusts into the oil pan, then pair them with fine wine, and have a hearty meal. By the way, you can publicize that this is a new way of eating invented by the governor. Finally, in the eyes of the people with fear, admiration, and adoration, they go to the next locust plague.  District forward!

    With these officials and powerful people leading by example, the common people finally took action. Although their knowledge was limited, they were not stupid. At least they could follow the trend. Even the nobles who always cherished their lives dared to devour locusts. Our lives were like nothing.  What are ordinary people afraid of?

    So, by eating and publicizing all the way, the people of Shanyang County took action and started fighting against the approaching 'locust army', and their most effective way to deal with it was to eat!

    "Food is the most important thing for the people, and eating is king." In the past, there was no food, and everyone had to endure hunger. But now it is different. The hungry people woke up with red eyes. It turns out that there are people everywhere in the fields.  Fei¡¯s food, why are you so polite? It¡¯s pretty cool to eat it!

    Every morning, as soon as the sun rises, hordes of hungry people rush into the fields, holding nets, baskets, bags There are so many locusts that it is effortless to catch them.  Zhang, after running around in the field, it is basically full. Once you pierce the pocket and carry it home, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for a few meals. It is much less labor-intensive than farming and harvesting grain!

    As for how to eat it, there are various ways to eat it. Only the nobles can afford to eat 'fried locusts'. Ordinary people don't have so much oil at home. However, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. If there is no oil, just boil it in water. It really can't be left in the water.  Grilled on a tile, it¡¯s still crispy and delicious!

    Under such a good situation, Xiao Yi took the opportunity to put forward the slogan of "eating locusts" and set an example by drinking locusts. In addition, the food in the army also changed. In order to save food  , the rations of all soldiers are half rice and half worms. Even the salaries of the officers are the same. Half of them are money and food, and the other half is several large baskets of locust powder. Take it back and eat it slowly. If you can't finish it by yourself, just  Mobilize the whole family to eat together. If that doesn't work, can you still give it to relatives and friends?

    Since then, various locust-based foods have been introduced one after another, such as locust steamed buns, locust dumplings, locust meat cakes, steamed locusts, dry-roasted locusts They are definitely renovated every day without repetition!

    Some smart people will dry the locusts and grind them into powder, then store them in the cellar, just like storing grain. The sight of the baskets is good, and it makes people feel at ease. Finally, they no longer have to worry about being eaten.  starving!

    At the same time, the medicinal value of locust powder was also publicized. It was personally proven by a miracle doctor (that is, Xiao Yi himself) that regular consumption of locust powder can effectively treat night blindness, insomnia, asthma, cartilage, etc.  Disease can be called a miracle medicine~~

    The reason is also very simple. Aren't locusts sent down by God? Bugs from the sky naturally carry a little fairy spirit and can cure some folk diseases. Isn't this normal? Although this explanation is very strange, ordinary people just believe it if they can't stand it.  Yeah~

    ¡°What should I do if my child wets the bed?~~Take locust powder!¡±

    ¡°What should women do if they have irregular menstruation?~~Take locust powder!¡±

    ¡°What should a man do if his kidneys are weak and he can¡¯t lift?~~It¡¯s better to take locust powder!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The medicine cures all diseases and cures all diseases. There are two big baskets in one course of treatment. You can eat it freely. Even if it cannot cure the disease, at least it can fill your stomach. The biggest advantage is that it is cheap. In the market, it costs one stone per stone.  With the food money, you can buy two stones of locust powder. Which one do you want to eat?

    So much so that locust powder has turned from a special food in the disaster area into a kind of medicinal material. There is even a market that specializes in purchasing locust powder. People come and go every day and it is prosperous. Xiao Yi strongly supports this, "Eat it."  Locust, calcium supplement"It is definitely a great thing that benefits the country and the people. As for the effect, one locust can carry two eggs"

    Under such huge political propaganda, Shanyang was a sensation, Yanzhou was a sensation, and the entire Central Plains was a sensation. The wave of locust-eating swept across quickly. Old women, young and old all opened their mouths wide, and the sound of 'clicking' was endless.  The locust army struck a blow, which not only effectively controlled the damage of the locust plague, but also solved the problem of insufficient money and food for disaster relief, and at the same time stabilized social security. The Han people are the simplest in the world. As long as they can have a full stomach and a glimmer of hope, they will  Then there will never be any rebellion, and the world will be stable!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In autumn and September, the locust eradication operation has been going on for more than a month. Almost everyone is eating with open mouths. Even so, the locust plague is still continuing. The vitality of these little bugs is so tenacious, their appetites are amazing, and their reproductive capabilities are even more amazing. As long as there is one  Just fly into the fields and lay eggs. Before long, the place will become a paradise for locusts, which will eat them all!

    It only takes more than ten days for locusts to breed at a time, and they can form a large brood in their lifetime. However, it takes ten months for humans to give birth to children. There is only one baby in a birth, or at most two. Newborn locusts can eat crops, but newborn children  Locusts cannot be eaten, which leads to a growing gap in numbers between the two sides. Even if the 'foodie nation' has a full appetite, it still cannot eat locusts

    Faced with this situation, Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and issued another order to set fire to the fields in the disaster area. Even if a locust flew in, he would burn it with fire and kill them all!

    Who knows that as soon as the order was issued, it was immediately opposed by the whole people. Even the officials and powerful people came over crying and shouting to dissuade them. They felt sorry for the crops in the fields, after all, they were grown with hard work.  Seeing that they are all tasseled and burned up in a fire, I feel so distressed!

    Furthermore, they also feel sorry for the locusts in the fields. They used to be a disaster, but now they are treasures. I don¡¯t know how many people make a living by preying on locusts. Some merchants even made a fortune selling locust powder. Now they burn it down.  Isn't that equivalent to burning the 'God of Wealth'?

    ¡°Besides, it¡¯s already September, the autumn wind is blowing, and the weather is getting cooler. By then, the locusts in the fields will disappear without a trace. Why use the method of burning jade and stone together to burn the fields?

    Faced with various questions, Xiao Yi did not explain much. He just invited the officials to have a feast again. This time it was not about eating bugs, but a real feast, with fine wine and delicious food. Who knew that these guys actually  Eating locusts is addictive. Many people bring fried locusts and throw them into their mouths like snacks.

    After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Yi led everyone to a field that had been gnawed by locusts, and began to ask his soldiers to dig up the yellow-brown soil and turn it over!

    "Everyone, please see, this is the reason why the governor ordered the fire!" Xiao Yi reached out and grabbed a handful of floating soil. Inside, there were piles of oval eggs the size of needle tips, which were locust eggs!

    "Although the locust army has left, the eggs have stayed. They are hiding deep underground, waiting for the opportunity. As long as there is still a severe drought next year, these eggs will hatch into more locusts, and then the war will be even bigger than this year.  The 'Locust Plague' will appear. I guess no one will want to enjoy that scene again!

    Poisonous snakes bite hands and strong men cut off wrists. In order to completely eliminate the locust plague, the place where the locusts passed must be burned with fire, and then the land should be turned over and exposed to the sun to kill all the eggs to eliminate future troubles, not only in Henan and Yanzhou, but also in Henan and Yanzhou.  The same is true for Xuzhou, which was least affected by the locust plague. It would rather burn three thousand by mistake than let one go, otherwise next year's crops will not be saved!  "

    Facts speak louder than words. After excavating the surrounding land with their own hands and observing the yellow-brown insect eggs, the officials left silently. Soon, thick smoke rose up, and wherever the fire went, the  The immature crops in the fields and the locusts that were eating the crops were turned into ashes!

    "God bless, after the fire, next year will be a good year with good weather and good harvest, right?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
