Just when Qin Lanxin noodle restaurant was busy, Zhong Jingxuan called her into the west wing as soon as she got home from fishing lane.
"What happened to Grandpa Three?" Qin Lan saw Zhong Jingxuan anxiously walking around the room as soon as she entered the room.
Zhong Jingxuan saw her enter the door and quickly approached her and asked, "Is there any way to deal with the locust disaster in your master’s book, my dear girl?"
Zhong Jingxuan knew that he was in a hurry, but officials in the northern weir state and Xiangzhou state of the Wei Dynasty actually colluded with each other to hide the plague of locusts caused by the drought in the two States, causing the crops in the weir state and Xiangzhou to be starved everywhere.
Even more, several victims, displaced wives, separated and then fled their homes and fled into exile.
When Shunhe Emperor learned the truth, Long Yan was furious and beheaded the officials of the two places. The common people complained that the autumn harvest was just around the corner in Yanzhou and Xiangzhou, and the drought was not only severe but also extremely dry, and the locusts were desolate.
Locust has always been regarded by the people of heaven as a spiritual warning, and locust disasters have been regarded as a scourge since ancient times. In the Wei Dynasty, many people built a locust grandmother temple to pray for the "disaster fairy" not to get angry.
The plague of locusts came too suddenly, and Qiuhe was badly hurt. Fortunately, someone told the imperial court in Kyoto. Otherwise, things in Yanzhou and Xiangzhou will continue to be hidden, and I am afraid that there will be more places affected by the plague of locusts.
"Don’t worry, Grandpa. Tell me what’s going on first?" Qin Lanxin has never seen Zhong Jingxuan in such a hurry. It seems that what he said must be serious.
So Zhong Jingxuan told Qin Lanxin about the summer drought and locust plague in Yanzhou and Xiangzhou.
Qin Lan was also worried after listening to this. It was no small matter that locusts occurred at this time, and it was difficult to resist the pesticides that did not kill locusts alone in ancient times.
"Dear girl, think about it carefully. Do you have any locusts in your master? Is there any way to save them?" Perhaps it is because Qin Lanxin learned too much from a famous old man, so Zhong Jingxuan also has a strange reverence for that old man.
"Don’t worry, Grandpa, let me think about it!" Qin Lan helped Zhong Jingxuan to sit in the room first, and then tried to recall the books he had read and the methods he had known before to kill locusts.
Zhong Jingxuan didn’t bother her, but looked at her expectantly. After about half an hour, Qin Lanxin sorted out a train of thought and said to Zhong Jingxuan, "Third Grandpa, I remember that in Master’s old man’s book, some people had said that some people killed locusts, such as organizing human capture by offering a reward to the court, and finding some experienced old farmers to explore the locust nest and directly destroy their eggs, prevent and kill locusts from the roots, and catch natural enemies of locusts such as frogs, swallows, white-winged floating gulls, ducks and chickens and put them into the fields to eat locusts. In addition,
"Heart girl, please hurry up and carefully write what you said and the prescription department. I’ll send people to Kyoto immediately." It’s urgent to stop the locust plague. Zhong Jingxuan shook his hand and pulled Qin Lan to the front of the case and asked her to write quickly
Master Qin Lan’s anxious mood is understandable, so she wrote one by one after sitting down, especially the last Chinese herbal medicine formula, even the water ratio was clearly written.
At the same time, she also wrote a secret recipe of medicinal liquor for preventing plague, and told Zhong Jingxuan that drought and locust plague would probably lead to the death of people’s homes. This medicinal liquor for treating plague can not only strengthen people’s health, but also prevent plague and treat illness.
Zhong Jingxuan was surprised that Qin Lan’s heart even thought of this, but he didn’t have time to explore more at the moment. As soon as Qin Lan’s heart was written here, he sent people to Kyoto in a hurry.
The messenger ran away and killed several fast horses. In less than three days, he went from Fujiangkou to Kyoto and sent the letter directly to Zhong Yi in Qinglong Camp. As soon as Zhong Yi received the letter, he rode into the palace immediately.
At this time, Shun and Emperor Jiyou in the palace could not eat anything, and the smell of the plague of locusts in Xiangzhou made him angry and anxious, but the ministers of civil and military affairs couldn’t figure out a good way, and hundreds of thousands of people were in hot water. How could the emperor sit in the dragon chair with peace of mind?
"Emperor, how much do you eat!" The face of Zhong Yu, the queen of Fenghe Temple, has a little temperature. Facing this man who makes her love and hate, she used to be cold and alienated, and today she has inexplicably reduced a lot.
She didn’t want to be like her mother, but after all, she went her old way. Her mother was trapped in Prince Gong’s mansion, while she was trapped in the palace, facing the man who forced her to marry them regardless of their respective wishes. Even the mother and daughter have behaved exactly the same over the years.
But after all, she didn’t keep her heart in the day and night, but she will never let Jiyou know this fact. If mutual torture is a kind of love, let each other suffer in torture.
"Yu ‘er, I’m not hungry. You eat and I’ll watch!" Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Jiyou is the first to think of Zhong Yu every time he is upset.
She doesn’t love him, he knows, but even if it makes her hate his generation, he will lock her in and ask her to be by his side, so he can be a selfish man in front of her.
"Report to the emperor, the little prince of the empress is here!" Phoenix and a little eunuch outside the temple had just called Zhong Yi and stepped in.
"What happened to Yier?" Zhong Yu quickly got up and saw Zhong Yi’s face before meeting, and it was also urgent to show the same anxious look.
At the same time, Jiyou was jealous of Zhong Yi. Even if he was Zhong Yu’s brother, he was bored in his heart. Since Zhong Yu married him, he had no chance to get a fourth expression except calm, cold and angry.
"Please forgive me for my recklessness. It’s really urgent for me, Emperor. This is a letter sent back by Third Grandpa. Please have a look at it quickly!" Zhong Yi took out a letter from the bosom and handed it to Jiyou.
Jiyou first took it in surprise, and then immediately looked solemn in his face. He said to Zhong Yi, "You come with me at once, Yu ‘er, and I can’t accompany you to dinner today. You must eat first by yourself. You must serve the queen and eat more."
"handmaiden obeys orders!" Zhong Yu’s close-fitting mammy Xun said humbly
So Jiyou and Zhong Yi walked quickly towards the imperial house directly.
Two hours later, Qi Youlian announced the first of the three imperial edicts to the officials and the people that the silver needed to catch locusts was allocated by the state treasury by offering a reward.
The second imperial edict requires the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital to make a locust-killing potion according to Qin Lanxin’s prescription and announce this prescription to the public. Anyone who finds locusts in other states and counties in the Great Wei Dynasty can spray it for prevention.
The third imperial edict reached the Royal Brewery Qiyou and ordered them to brew special epidemic prevention wine as soon as possible and send it to Yanzhou and Xiangzhou to prevent the plague.
The emperor’s three imperial edicts were quick and urgent, and the people heard that there was an elixir to kill locusts, and the people’s hearts finally gradually stabilized. Later, they heard that catching locusts could also be rewarded by the government. At one time, the people caught locusts in the fields of Yanzhou and Xiangzhou.
Qin Lanxin also heard about these three imperial edicts. Although the methods, prescriptions and medicinal liquor in the imperial edict are all hers, there is nothing in the imperial edict about her and these, and she doesn’t want anything because she doesn’t know how big these are.
