Chapter 615 (1/2)
It's said that there are so many people in Jingzhou who have been on guard for a long time!
”The locust God sent disaster, this is the locust God's disaster!”
Some old peasants of the older generation, who were stubborn in thinking, knelt down directly and began to kowtow to the locusts: ”ask the locust God to leave a mouthful of rice for the people, and ask the locust God to leave a mouthful of rice for the people to eat!”
”These are not the people of the locust God. The locust God has told the emperor in his dream that these are all fleeing pests, and the locust God does not recognize them!”
”Yes, as the emperor said, the locust God doesn't recognize these pests at all!”
”The descendants of the locust God will not come to eat the food of our people!”
When the younger generation saw this scene, they almost showed their eyes to crack and trusted their emperor. They directly overthrow the locust God!
”What are you doing to protect food and kill locusts?”
The army had been stationed here for a long time. With a roar of anger, the army immediately took the lead and rushed up with brooms and sacks.
”Kill locusts, protect food!” People also joined the army of locusts.
The whole field is full of people who kill locusts, but even so, the locusts eat food too fast, which makes people heartache.
”How can we ordinary people live The old man was forced to join the army of locusts, but he was unable to return to heaven.
There are too many locusts!
At this time, the chickens in the henhouse and the ducks in the duck pen all flew out. It seemed that these chickens and ducks saw something unique and delicious.
Originally, they were not released because they were worried that they would bring disaster to the grain. But now they have no food in their eyes. They are all locusts.
The whole army of chickens and ducks swarmed out, and the combat effectiveness was terrible.
”Yes, yes, peck them, peck these damned locusts!” The old farmers saw that these chickens and ducks were so fierce that they could only peck at them and their eyes were bright!
”The locusts are almost eaten up by chickens and ducks. Everyone should kill the locusts and put them away. The imperial court will collect two Wen per catty of locusts.” Exclaimed a burly woman.
The other people were just stunned by the overwhelming locusts. They all forgot this. The imperial court said to exterminate the locusts, one catty would be charged at the price of two Wen!
Even if the food has been harmed a lot, the locust can make up for some of it.
The people's enthusiasm for killing locusts suddenly rose!
In a short period of time, every household was filled with sacks of locusts. As for those who did not listen to the emperor's orders and thought that they were the God of locusts and did not prepare sacks much, after they filled the baskets at home, they only had to stare at them.
they had no choice but to take out their bed sheets and quilts to pack locusts!
The news of locusts attacking Jingzhou came back on the same day. Qin Heng stood up from his position. There was only one sentence in the letter that locusts were attacking Jingzhou.
There are many well-informed families in the capital, and they soon know that the locusts have arrived in Jingzhou. However, in one afternoon, the whole capital was spread all over the city.
”It's true Some people wonder.
”The emperor is the real dragon and the son of heaven has come down to earth, and the locust God has dreamt early and told him that there will be no fake?” Someone is on the way.
”With the help of the emperor, the people of Dafeng will be saved from misfortune.” Flatterers are not in the minority.
“……”
There is much discussion among the people, but the exact situation is still unknown. Jingzhou is not close to the capital.
Three days later, the first-hand information was sent back to the palace.
