The World of Yellow Sky

After all, the Han Dynasty has ruled the world for nearly [-] years, and its influence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although Taipingdao has responded, some people still believe in the rumors spread by the embroidered clothes messengers and demons.

"General Xu Huang has already led the troops to Youfufeng to rescue the disaster. The definite news from Youfufeng should be heard within five days."

"Grain prices in Chang'an City and Sanfu haven't risen too much. After the grain is imported from the granaries in various places, the price of grain is still within a reasonable range. The mood of the people in various places is stable, and there is no commotion in any city."

"Relief work has been carried out in various places, please rest assured, Mr. Ming."

Taiping Road had already been prepared, and Xu An ordered the construction of granaries in various places, and he had already started hoarding a large amount of grain last year.

This time when the drought came, the price of grain did rise at first, but as a large amount of grain stored in Taipingdao flowed into the market, the price was quickly suppressed.

As soon as the drought started, Xu An clearly issued an edict, setting the maximum price for grain sales, and not allowing any merchants to hoard goods.

Originally, because Huangfusong and Wang Yunnan fled most of the powerful and powerful families, the merchants had already left Zhongzhou.

The merchants left in Zhongzhou are all small and medium-sized merchants. If they had some small ideas of their own before, but after seeing the power of Taiping Dao at the founding ceremony, they dare not disobey Xu An's edict at all this time. Instead, he obediently cooperated with the officials sent by Taipingdao to sell grain.

After all, military control has been implemented in all major cities now, and the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard can take him down on the spot as long as they find evidence of malicious hoarding.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xu An looked away from the sky.

"After a great disaster, there must be a great epidemic."

"The high temperature is unbearable and the heat is scorching. It is the time when the epidemic is easy to breed. Doctors from all over the country are gathered together for unified management. If heat stroke or disease is discovered, it must be treated in time and not neglected."

Two consecutive months of high temperature and scorching heat have caused most of the crops to die, the leaves of the trees to wither, and even the green grass on the ground has turned a scorched yellow color.

"Distribute some of the stored wood and tell everyone that all food and drinking water must be cooked and boiled before consumption."

"Diseases are hidden in raw water and in raw food. We must pay attention to prevention. Hua Tuo has full power to prevent and control the disease. He did a good job when the Zhangshui epidemic was prevalent. I believe this time, he can also do well.”

"The weather is hot, and I know that the heat in the palace is unbearable. In the past few days, I will draw some more ice cubes from the cellar to cool down."

The sweat on Xu You's head and the work these days have been taken into account by Xu An.

These days, all kinds of affairs come one after another, the convoys transporting food and grass for disaster relief, the police in the city to maintain law and order, all kinds of affairs are piled up on the desk of Yonghe Pavilion.

Jia Xu had already left Zhongzhou for Liangzhou. Yan Zhong was in poor health and was recuperating in Taiyechi. The position of chief assistant of the cabinet was actually just a name, more because of Yan Zhong's previous achievements.

Although Yang Wei, Wei Lu, and Ge Zhou are all capable, they still lack the overall situation and experience. Xu An mentioned them in the cabinet, in fact, to be able to balance.

Although Xu You is also a cabinet minister, he is already performing the duties of chief assistant.

Moreover, Xu You, as the magistrate of the Zhongshu Mansion, had to bear even more things.

"Thank you, Mr. Ming."

Xu You felt warm in his heart, and thanked him.

Xu An patted Xu You on the shoulder and said solemnly

"The plague of locusts has been determined, and the follow-up tasks will be more arduous. You must pay attention to rest. The next tasks..."

A horse neighing suddenly interrupted Xu An's follow-up words.

Xu An looked puzzled and looked at Xu Hong, as did all the Tengxiang guards in Yongning Pavilion.

"I'll go to the stables."

Xu Hong immediately understood that the war horses in the stables next to Yongning Pavilion were all carefully selected famous horses, well-trained, it is impossible not to have

Xu An didn't finish the rest of the sentence, he suddenly felt a dull feeling in his chest, and he began to feel a little dazed when he watched the scene in front of him.

Xu An felt that the floor on which his body was standing seemed to be shaking, and it was difficult for him to stand still.

In his sight, he saw the figures of Xu You and others shaking in front of him, and the soldiers of the Tengxiang Guards guarding the house were all terrified.

A deep and strange voice sounded in Xu An's ears, as if some kind of prehistoric beast was roaring in a low voice.

The chill gnawed at his bones, Xu An only felt that his whole body had fallen into the ice cellar, and he could barely move his hands and feet.

The reason for the chill in his heart was because of the source of the sound, the source of the sound was not coming from elsewhere, but from underground...

As far as the eye can see, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, that is the mighty power of heaven and earth!

Xu An supported the pillar beside him with one hand, and barely stabilized his figure.

"Everyone, leave the house and gather in an open place!"

In a short moment, Xu An had already regained his senses, and immediately shouted.

"Xu Hong!"

Xu An pointed at Xu You, and Xu Hong immediately understood Xu An's meaning. He immediately stepped forward to support Xu You, and then led him to the courtyard.

Xu An didn't need to remind him again, the two Tengxiang guards guarding Xu An's side had already supported Xu An on one left and one on the right, and walked quickly towards the empty courtyard.

After a short period of confusion, the long-term training made Teng Xiangwei, who was in charge of the security work, still stick to his post at this moment, and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

While the earthquake was still going on, they rushed into the palace pavilion and took the officials in the palace pavilion to the courtyard.

The voices of people are noisy, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, and there are sharp noises one after another.

Xu An was guarded by Tengxiangwei's soldiers in the center of the courtyard, farthest from the palace. The rest of the people were separated by Tengxiangwei's soldiers, including Xu You. distance.

Xu An had no interest in how long the earthquake lasted, and when it finally calmed down, everyone had already stood in the courtyard.

Xu An looked around, he felt slight tinnitus in his ears, tightness in his chest, and even difficulty in breathing.

Although the surroundings are no longer shaking, he always has the illusion that the scene in front of him is still shaking.

In the courtyard, the faces of all the officials were buried in the ground one after another. Xu You's face was pale, but at least he still retained a little sense and maintained his appearance.

But none of Tengxiangwei's soldiers showed panic on their faces. They had never been afraid on the battlefield. This time, they still retained their courage when facing the mighty power of the earthquake.

The building of Yongning Pavilion did not suffer any damage, only a few tiles were shaken off.

Xu An's eyes quickly swept over the building, and according to the earthquake feeling and the damage of Yongning Pavilion, Xu An quickly judged that the scale of the earthquake was not large.

But Xu An didn't relax completely, Yingtian Mansion used to be an imperial palace, the materials used for palaces and pavilions here are naturally the best, and the workmanship is also second to none, the structure of the houses is definitely much more stable than private houses.

The quality of some residential buildings in Chang'an City is not very good, there are some old houses that have been in disrepair for a long time, and because of the expansion of Chang'an City, there are a large number of buildings under construction in Chang'an City, and these buildings may have been affected.

"The earth dragon turned over... This is the earth dragon turned over..."

Among the crowd, someone showed fear and said in a trembling voice.

His words also attracted the attention of others, and the crowd began to commotion, and even the soldiers of Tengxiangwei showed hesitation in their eyes.

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew very well that the earthquake was just a natural phenomenon, and it was not some kind of earth-shattering turnaround at all.

"Although the sky is dead and the destiny is gone, the underground dragon veins have not been cut off. After all, the Han Dynasty has been in the Central Plains for hundreds of years."

"Right now, it's just the shock caused by my Daoist of Taiping Dao intercepting and killing the remaining dragon veins. What's there to panic about?!"

"I'm still here, what's there to be afraid of!"

Xu An's voice suppressed all the hustle and bustle in an instant, and Xu An's prestige was enough to suppress any doubts.

The eyes of the soldiers of Tengxiangwei also became firm again in an instant, they believed in Xu An's words.

The officials in the courtyard also regained a little clarity, and were no longer as flustered as before.

The sharp sound kept ringing in Xu An's ears. Although Xu An couldn't see the outside situation, he knew very well that the yellow angels and soldiers stationed in Yingtian Mansion had already reacted.

"Ziyuan, you go to Yonghe Pavilion to stabilize the officials in Yingtian Mansion, and you must stabilize the inner city in the shortest possible time."

"Draft an edict and spread it to all directions immediately. The reason for the earthquake is that the Taoists of the Taoist government are cleaning up the remaining dragon veins of the Han Dynasty, which caused the earthquake. The earthquake will end soon. All the people stay where they are for the time being. Don't panic. , waiting for the arrival of the army."

Xu An walked towards the stable next to Yongning Pavilion with a tiger's pace, and at the same time gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Xu Hong, call all Tengxiang Guards and follow me to the outer city!"

The scale of the earthquake was not large, and most of the damage caused was in the outer city, which was mixed with fish and dragons. There must have been spies from the Han and Wei courts. When the earthquake happened, there might be riots in many places.

Although military control has been implemented, this earthquake will inevitably cause the armies everywhere to fall into chaos for a short time.

The war horse was quickly led in front of Xu An, and Xu An stepped onto the horse with just one move.

"Send Gong Du to stabilize the inner city and guard against possible chaos."

"Let Lu Bu be ordered to lead Xiaoqiying Liuqu into the city to maintain law and order."

Xu An was riding on the horse. At this time, he had already rode out of the Yongning Pavilion. Xu An had a panoramic view of Ying Tianfu's palace and pavilions. Ying Tianfu was basically intact and there was no damage.

"All Tengxiang Guards, follow me out of the city."

Xu An's face was firm, and he looked to the south, where the outer city of Chang'an was located.

"Raise the banner and put up the coat of arms, and make sure all the people in Chang'an City know that I am in Chang'an City just like them!"

Chapter 743 Report to Zhongzhou Wanmin

Chuping five years (194 years)

In June, Ding Chou and Chang'an suffered an earthquake.

Dozens of houses collapsed, injuring more than 17 people and killing [-] people.

Wuyin, another earthquake, no casualties.

In the dark of Yiyou, there was an eclipse every day, and the people of Zhongzhou were terrified, thinking that the wrath of heaven had come down.

In late June, the Sansuke locust...

A locust is only the size of a finger, and can be easily hunted and killed by humans.

But when tens of thousands of locusts gather together, they almost have the potential to destroy everything and become a disaster that countless people fear—the plague of locusts!

The migratory locusts cover the sky and the sky is colorless, and the wild old Tianzhong is weeping and weeping.

The sun and the moon are shaded above, and the vegetation is hidden below.

When the migratory locusts swept across the border, the sky was dim and there was almost no light, as if the end was coming.

The drought in the Sansuke area of ​​Zhongzhou lasted for two months, but relying on the Wei River, there are still many crops barely surviving.

These crops survived the drought, but they did not survive the locust plague that followed...

The overwhelming locusts swept across the ground like a black wind, and the densely packed locusts attached to the crops, leaves and grass, and attached to the trees and bushes.

Countless locusts are frantically chewing on everything they can see. There is a sound of chewing like rain in the fields and woods. The crops on the slow slopes disappear in a blink of an eye, and the vegetation, cattle, horses and manes are all gone. .

The dry locusts are thousands of miles away, and the autumn fields are clean, and the wild sorrel is rustling in the August sky.

It's not that Xu An has seen locusts, but he has never seen a locust plague. Although he was prepared in his heart, and although he had heard about the scene of the locust plague, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little fear in his heart. The horror of the locust plague far exceeded his imagination.

When the overwhelming migratory locusts flew from the west, it was as if the sky was falling. Countless locusts gathered together to form a swarm.

Overwhelming, boundless, almost covering the sun.

And this is the scale formed by Xu An's order to exterminate the eggs of locusts in various places. If the Yellow Turban Army does not go to eliminate the locusts, the current scale may be even larger.

The locusts not only affected the crops in those fields, but even affected the disaster relief of the Yellow Turban Army.

Those locusts flew past, eating everything that could be eaten, and even part of the grain transport convoy was attacked by them, and the food they carried was eaten up.

Several granaries were also attacked by locusts, but due to the large number of Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the granaries, many locusts were finally killed with torches and large nets. In the end, the granaries were saved, but losses were inevitable.

In Yingtian County, Ganting was also attacked by locusts. The locusts that covered the sky made Ganting, who was already panicked by the drought, even worse.

As the sun rises, the light gradually dispels the darkness,

Liang Ping hid in the house, peeking out from behind the window, carefully observing the scene outside the house.

A light wind blew, and a broken earthen jar was blown by the wind, rolled on the slightly uneven ground, and made a few soft sounds.

The breeze lingered among the houses in the village, blowing into the houses through the gaps in the doors and windows.

The wind is full of fishy smells, including earthy, watery, and more disgusting insect smells.

Liang Ping became more and more nervous. He clenched his fists and stared out the window.

"call out------"

A long whistle broke the silence of the entire village.

Liang Ping's expression changed slightly, and he immediately locked the window.

"When I go out, remember to lock the doors too, and they must be locked."

Liang Ping closed the doors and windows tightly, thought for a while, and took some wooden branches to completely plug the gaps left by the windows.

After plugging it up, Liang Ping looked at the ground of the house, moved another log, and pressed it on the ground beside the wall.
