I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 216 Locust plague
Supervising these ministers, whether they have eaten all the locusts.

If there is a minister who steals, rapes and plays tricks, Yingzheng will not punish him, but will record it in the record, and this person's official career will be greatly affected in the future.

After the officials finished eating the locusts.

Ying Zheng stood in the hall and asked the officials.

"Does this locust taste good?"

"Your Majesty is very good."

There is no shortage of flattering people among the ministers. Even though they ate locusts just now, they obviously wanted to vomit, but this does not prevent them from saying that the locusts are very good at the moment.

And Ying Zheng was obviously disgusted by these hypocritical voices, he opened his mouth and said.

"What is very good? Why doesn't I feel good? I almost spit it out when I ate it just now, but you actually said yes? Isn't this lying to me?"'

"Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

For a moment, the minister who had just flattered Ying Zheng in the hall suddenly fell to his knees.

Everyone was trembling for fear of provoking the wrath of Ying Zheng's thunder.

At this time, Ying Zheng laughed out loud.

He said.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I let you eat this locust today for one purpose only, that is to let you know that it is hard to come by, let you know that ordinary people's daily life How difficult it is!"

"Nowadays when the locusts pass through the border, the common people still have locusts to eat, but once the locusts pass through, the surrounding area will turn into a withered yellow, even the green leaves can't be found, and all the crops will die. At that time, there will be no harvest, and the people will probably only be hungry. Die end!"

"At that time, the locusts will also have extravagant hopes for them. Do you know?"

"Your Majesty's benevolence cares about the people, and I admire you!"

For a while, compliments from the officials came from the hall.

But Yingzheng signaled the minister not to flatter him.

He continued.

"The locust plague is terrible. I have already found a way to control the locust plague. From now on, the most important thing for me in Daqin is to control the locust plague that is raging today. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

All the ministers present at the moment were full of fighting spirit, and they opened their mouths and said that these ministers now hate locusts to the bone, and the reason is very simple.

Who made the locusts so unpalatable? The few mouthfuls they ate just now are still nauseating.

……

On the Guanzhong Plain.

The brass flying all over the sky was arriving quickly, and densely packed locusts flew over a group of people standing in the distance. These people stood in a long line, holding torches in their hands.

These people were fully armed and held torches in their hands, the moment the locusts crossed the border.

These people held up their torches one after another.

Use a torch to burn the passing locusts. The skin of the locusts is relatively dry, and as long as they are touched by the fire, they will instantly ignite.

So use fire to deal with locusts.

It is really a very suitable method.

Except where the fire has been.

Dozens of steps behind the fire, there is still a large net erected in the sky.

These large nets are nothing more than made of simple coarse cloth, supported by bamboo poles behind them to form curtains.

Block out these flying locusts.

Then capture them.

Immediately, these locusts will be packed in bamboo baskets.

Will use it for cooking later.

On the Guanzhong Plain at this time, this kind of scene can be seen everywhere.

And when these people were dealing with the locusts passing through the border, they were located in places where the locust plague had already ravaged.

The victims of the relief food being distributed are holding hollow iron sticks at the moment.

then.

Carefully poke a small hole here and there in the ground.

Pour out the soil inside, and then observe the soil inserted in the hollow iron drill.

Check to see if there are any locust eggs inside.

You must know where the locusts cross the border, except that there will be no grass that will be harmed by them.

They will also leave behind a large number of locust eggs.

These locust eggs are buried in the soil.

After next year, new locusts will germinate. If these locust eggs are not discovered in time, these locust eggs will be exterminated.

The consequence is that a new locust plague will break out again next year.

There will be heavy losses.

In this situation.

It is perfectly normal to completely remove these locust eggs.

After half a month.

Daqin up and down.

within the Guanzhong Plain.

At this moment, all the locusts have entered and been exterminated, and the remaining locusts are all locusts from Xiaogu Xiaogu, and they can no longer become a climate.

Under such circumstances, the locust plague that had been in a panic throughout Guanzhong ended.

Sitting on the dragon chair.

With a satisfied expression on Ying Zheng's face, he said with emotion.

"This locust plague has finally passed. I, Da Qin, have accumulated a lot of experience this time. If we encounter a locust plague again in the future, we will find a way to deal with it accordingly!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The powerful ministers all turned towards Yingzheng and said compliments.

I secretly sighed in my heart, this locust plague is finally over.

You must know that in order to control the locust plague, in order to set an example for the subjects and people in the world to eat locusts.

Yingzheng would distribute a bowl of locusts to his ministers every morning when he went to the court these days.

When did the ministers of Daqin suffer from this?

You must know which of the officials who can go to court is not a delicate and expensive master.

They are usually afraid that no matter how delicious the delicacies are, they will not be able to enter their mouths.

Now they can only eat locusts to satisfy their hunger.

Thinking of this, the ministers gritted their teeth against the locusts unswervingly.

They dare not get angry with Ying Zheng, they can only vent their anger on the locusts. Now that the locusts have been wiped out, they are naturally very happy.

And when the officials are happy.

Meng Tian led his [-] troops in Loulan City, and they have been stationed here for some time.

In Loulan City, the prosperity of the past has been restored, and there is no cruel scene when the war broke out before.

the reason is simple.

The soldiers of the Great Qin Empire were not one after another vicious barbarians as the people in the city imagined.

On the contrary, these Qin soldiers were very disciplined, and the laws of Qin were relatively strict and did not allow these soldiers to violate military laws.

Under such circumstances, in Loulan City.

Except for a small number of residents who just fled, most of the remaining people still live and work here in peace and contentment.

At the same time, after the attack on Loulan city was broken, the part of the Loulan nobles who fled, as well as the Loulan people.

When the terrifying fighting power of the Qin army and the news that Daqin had conquered Loulan spread throughout the Western Regions.

At this time, the entire Western Regions were shaken.

It was the first time they discovered that there was such a powerful country, and they easily destroyed Loulan, which was not considered a weak country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

In this situation.

Facing such a powerful Great Qin Empire, what power do they have to fight back?

Thinking of these 36 monarchs in the Western Regions, they sent envoys one after another, and then went to Loulan.

He intends to submit to the foot of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, being a dog is better than being beaten to death.

One must know that the lessons learned from King Loulan are there...
