I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

The strong wind was blowing, and it actually blocked the menacing locust plague, as if a hand kept them out.

Hundreds of billions of locusts buzzed, unable to take a step forward.

"It's the wind! It's the wind that blocked the locusts!" Someone exclaimed.

"It's really windy!" Everyone cheered up.

"If only the wind could keep blowing!"

……

Although it is a good wish, everyone knows that when the wind comes, the wind can also go away!

When the wind is gone, it is time to fight!

"There is a thunder on the flat ground, and thousands of hectares of wind and rain are on the body!"

Lin Beifan's voice fell again, and a bolt of lightning crackled in the sky.

Then the dark clouds gathered, blocking the sun, and then it started to rain.

The rain was not too heavy, just like spring rain, hitting the moist and moist rice seedlings on the face.

The capital city is bathed in this drizzle, and the misty rain is hazy, which is particularly beautiful.

But for the locusts, this wind and rain is simply a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, a disaster of nature and earth, and they can't fly over it at all!

They are just wandering outside, wandering, unable to get over!

All civil and military officials and common people in the capital were all excited.

"It's raining! It's raining in the capital!"

"This rain is so good that it keeps the plague of locusts out!"

"Locusts are most afraid of rain, this is a timely rain!"

"It's raining!!!"

……

Jiangnan Wang, who watched this scene silently, was dumbfounded: "How could this happen?".

Chapter 300 This king is willing to exchange 200 catties of meat for a scorching sun and severe drought!

He came all the way to the capital to see how the locust plague ravaged the capital, so as to make up for his psychological balance.

It turned out to be fine now, with a strong wind and rain.

Even if he didn't understand locusts before, he has learned in the past few days that locusts are afraid of water, and even more afraid of rain.

So it's wind and rain, they will definitely fly~ they won't be able to pass.

"How did this happen? Why did it suddenly rain?" His heart was a little bit broken-broken.

On the contrary, in the capital, the common people are very happy.

"It's raining well!"

"When it rains, the locusts will not dare to come over!"

"Keep going, don't stop!"

……

Upstairs in the capital city, the empress and all the civil and military officials saw the drizzle, and there was a long-lost smile on their faces.

"This is a good rain, a timely rain!"

"With this rain, the locust plague will not come for a while, and our crops will be saved!"

"This is God Bless Dawu, God Bless the court!"

……

The empress looked at all the officials, officers, soldiers and ordinary people, all of them had bright smiles on their faces, as if they had escaped a catastrophe.

But at this moment, she noticed a person, Lin Beifan.

He was still so calm and calm, neither sad nor happy after seeing the storm.

My heart was moved, and I remembered what Lin Beifan had said, and asked with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, you have been so calm and composed from the beginning to the end, did you expect it?"

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, Your Majesty! I have already said that this plague of locusts will never come!"

Everyone looked sideways, curious how he could see it.

"How did you find out?" the Empress asked everyone's aspirations.

Lin Beifan said with a smile: "I have said before that since the beginning of the new year, the weather here has been smooth, the rain is abundant, and the air is relatively humid, which is not suitable for locusts to reproduce at all! Locusts like dryness, so they will not come here!"

The empress smiled and nodded: "That makes sense!"

"One more thing, I watched the stars at night and knew that there will be rain today, and locusts are afraid of rain! Therefore, they dare not cross the border at all!" Lin Beifan laughed.

"Really?" The Empress narrowed her eyes.

She had heard from Bai Guanyin a long time ago that since Lin Beifan became a master, he has acquired all kinds of strange abilities, and this is probably one of his abilities.

Otherwise, how could this rain be so timely?

"Ai Qing, I didn't expect you to know how to watch the stars at night and know the changes of the weather. You are worthy of being my servant! So, can you tell me now how long this rain will last, and whether it can completely stop the plague of locusts?" Empress asked again.

Lin Beifan pinched his fingers and said in a spirited voice, "Your Majesty, this rain will last for about three days! The amount of rain is not heavy, just like now, and it will not affect the lives of the people! However, it should be able to completely stop the locust plague!"

The female emperor Long Xin was very happy, and said loudly: "Okay! If it really takes three days, I will remember you as a meritorious service!"

Outside the capital, King Jiangnan shook his fat body, wiped the rain on his face, looked at the capital bathed in the drizzle in the distance, and said viciously: "Let's make you proud for a while! It's just a light rain , the wind will stop soon, and the rain will stop soon, and then you will cry!"

So, he stayed where he was and waited, hoping that the wind would stop and the rain would rest, and then the locusts would cross the border and wreak havoc on the capital.

In the end, he waited and waited, and waited for a stick of incense, but the rain still didn't stop.

Jiangnan Wang comforted himself: "It's okay! The rain just came not long ago, it can last a little longer, but it will stop soon! Once the rain stops, it will be the time when your capital will suffer disaster!"

He continued to wait and wait, and after waiting for an hour, the rain still didn't stop.

"It's been falling for an hour, why hasn't it stopped? But it doesn't matter, it's summer now, this kind of rain usually doesn't last long, and it should stop soon! Just wait, just wait!"

He continued to wait and wait, and after waiting for three hours, the rain still didn't stop.

"Why hasn't it stopped? When will the rain last?"

Jiangnan Wang looked at the sky with absent-minded eyes, letting the rain drip down his face, so cool.

But in his heart, he was so angry that he wanted to vent but didn't know how to vent.

He couldn't help but think of his Jiangnan.

In the past, it often rained like this in his Jiangnan land.

The amount of rain is not large, and the wind is not strong, but it is very persistent.

Under the nourishment of such rain, his rice seedlings grow very vigorously, and there is a bumper harvest every year.

But this year, there was a terrible drought, and there was no drop of water for three months. The riverbed was completely dry, and the rice seedlings were all withered, which led to a terrible plague of locusts.

If they could have several rains like this in Jiangnan, why did he do this?

At this time, it was getting dark gradually, and it was time to go back to eat.

King Jiangnan glanced at the cloudy sky, then at the capital in the distance, and said bitterly: "I don't believe it, this rain can last all day! Tomorrow, I will come to appreciate your crying expressions." !"

On the second day, the king of Jiangnan returned to his original place.

Bathed in the still heavy rain, looking at the capital whose eyes were like smoke, mist and dust, I was so angry that I was about to cry.

"Why haven't you stopped yet, when are you going to go down?"

The officers and soldiers who were dealing with the locust plague in the distance have now beaten their drums and retreated, and went back to warm up.

With the rain blocking it, the locusts couldn't fly over at all.

However, Jiangnan Wang still did not give up and continued to consume.

Putting his hands together, he prayed to the sky very devoutly: "God, let this rain stop quickly! This king is willing to use 200 catties of meat on his body in exchange for a scorching sun and severe drought!"

"crash"

The rain suddenly became heavy, and it splashed over with a splash, and Jiangnan Wang was drenched into a drenched chicken.

King Jiangnan: "..."

Just waited until it was dark, and the rain still didn't stop.

"I don't believe it, this rain can last for three days! If it doesn't stop raining, I will write my name upside down!"

On the third day, Jiangnan Wang was bathed in drizzle and finally collapsed.

Kneeling down, he kowtowed again and again: "God, please do me a favor, don't go down anymore! You've already given enough, don't give any more! They are a bunch of bad kids, they don't deserve your love! I'm the only one you love the most! If you keep going down, this king's heart won't be able to bear it anymore, please..."

"Buzz"

The movements of the locusts became louder.

Jiangnan Wang raised his head in confusion: "What's the matter?"

I saw this group of densely packed locusts actually turned around, flew towards the west, and disappeared quickly.

Jiangnan Wang was stunned: "Did they fly away? Where are they going?"

In the capital, the empress, civil and military officials, and common people were all excited when they saw the transfer of the locust plague.

"The plague of locusts has finally passed!"

"They didn't cross the border a step from the beginning to the end, and they didn't destroy our crops and farmland!"

"There will definitely be a good harvest this year!"

"It was a good rain, a good rain!"

0 ················································

……

Everyone was very happy, singing and dancing, as if fighting was also a victory.

In fact, for them, a victory was indeed won.

If this plague of locusts does not pass, it will lead to a large amount of food production and harvest reduction, causing a series of problems, leading to turmoil in the entire country, and its harm is no less than a war.

Empress Longxin rejoiced: "We have finally overcome this once-in-a-century plague of locusts! This year's grain production will definitely increase. I have decided to pardon the world!"

Some tax reduction policies have been introduced so that everyone can pay less food tax.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone was very happy.

"Lin Aiqing, as you said, this rain lasted for three days at once! It is because of this timely rain that we survived the locust plague safely, and you have made a contribution!" the empress said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is God's will. God bless His Majesty, God bless the great warrior, I dare not take credit for it!" Lin Beifan was modest.

"Aiqing is too modest, this is what should be given to you! Without you, we may not have survived the locust plague and won this food defense battle!" The empress said meaningfully.

 …

The empress rewarded a series of good things, and all the officials were jealous when they saw it.

"Your Majesty, we have also put in a lot of hard work, you can't just reward Master Lin!"

"You have to think about us!"

"It's not easy for us veterans!"

……

Seeing all the officials waiting to be fed, the empress was very generous: "I have them all! Everyone will be rewarded with 100 taels, thank you Lord Long En!"

Civil and military officials: "..."

But at this time, the news that the Great Wu court survived the locust plague quickly spread throughout the world, catching everyone's attention.

"The Dawu court actually survived the locust plague so quickly? How did it survive?"

"It turned out to be a drizzle that fell for three days in a row!"
