The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 734

The locusts stayed in a certain place for as long as a week and as short as two or three days. After these locusts swept across from Shaanxi to Shanxi and entered Hebei, their invincible momentum was finally suppressed by the murderous people.

As Yinzhen's orders were passed on, some officials carried them out seriously, while others didn't care at all.However, there are still more officials in charge, so these locusts have been decreasing since they entered the territory of Hebei. By the time they arrived in the capital, the number had been reduced by half.

But half is also a lot, covering the sky and everywhere.

All the people, young and old, joined the battle. Of course, Yi Rao didn't want to be left behind. She led the little girls from Xinde Academy to catch locusts, and handed over all the people in the mansion to Jin Guang. Anyone who could join the battle.

Uniform price: two catties and one penny!

Yi Rao mostly stays on the crops, and Yi Rao picks them up one by one with the sacks in her hand, and she made a sack in a short while.

"Hey, is it really all fried?" Yi Rao frowned.

"You can also boil it. It contains high protein, which is similar to eggs. You can simply boil it, dry it, grind it into powder, and use it as a seasoning when cooking."

Little White Dragon's mind was wide open.

Yi Rao "..."

Use locust powder as seasoning?Fortunately, Xiaobailong figured it out.

"This stuff has high nutritional value and good taste, you can really try it." Xiao Bailong suggested to Yi Rao seriously.

It sounded a little bit feasible, Yi Rao nodded and agreed.

If this method is feasible, then there is no need to fry the whole thing and send it door to door, and simply throw it to the army.The food in the army is notoriously poor. Give these soldiers who defend their homes and the country a little more nutrition, and they can also cut down a few more enemies when they go to battle to kill the enemy.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was good, Yi Rao hurriedly tied up the sack, threw it to the maid who followed behind her, and rushed back to try this matter.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. After some tossing, Yi Rao found that this method is really feasible.

She hurried to find Yinzhen and told Yinzhen about the matter, "Fourth brother, fried food is too tired to eat, why don't you dry it and grind it into powder, and add some when cooking every meal. It is nutritious and can be preserved for a long time."

For the soldiers?
Yinzhen just hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, boil them in water, dry them and grind them into powder."

After receiving Yinzhen's words, Yi Rao hurriedly ran to order Jin Guang to get more people to buy locusts, and set up a big pot to boil them!
Yinzhen's policy of catching locusts has been most thoroughly implemented in the capital, except for those nobles who claim to be valuable, almost the whole city is mobilized.

These locusts can be exchanged for money just by picking them up from the ground and throwing them in sacks. This is simply a costless business, and it's easy!
No amount of locusts could match the ferocity of the people. After the first day, everyone could clearly feel that the number of locusts was decreasing.

Many people panicked now. The total number of locusts is limited, and when they are all picked up, the whole family, young and old, who are quick-witted can get hundreds or even thousands of copper coins a day.

If the locusts are gone, wouldn't the extra income be gone?
No!

Gritting his teeth, he simply picked up the lantern overnight!
There are not a few people who have this kind of thinking, and everyone is working hard to earn money.

The common people fought hard, and Yi Rao naturally had to fight too. Her stall could not be closed, and a new group of people went to work the night shift.

After catching locusts like this day and night for several days, they even picked up all the locusts that covered the sky and the sun! ! !
The locusts cannot continue to wreak havoc, the capital is their grave!

The crops to the east of the capital are all preserved!

Yinzhen was stunned, everyone was stunned, including those who were going to watch Yinzhen's jokes before.

The locusts were wiped out so easily?

The locust god was actually indifferent, didn't he send down the wrath of thunder?

God!It's incredible!
The dignified emperor actually bought the locusts and wiped out the locusts that ate the crops everywhere!For the first time in thousands of years!

"Haha, hahaha!" Yinzhen laughed heartily, ecstatically, the gloom of many days was gone.

Sure enough, people can conquer the sky.

What are locusts? !Eat it, eat it, eat it all!
"Congratulations, fourth brother, the stone in my heart can finally be let go." Yinxiang said with a relaxed smile on his face.

"This is the idea of ​​the younger siblings. If not, we can only watch the locusts eat the crops, and there is nothing we can do."

"She is also whimsical. I didn't expect the power of the people to be so powerful that they could wipe out such a swarm of locusts."

Yinzhen was also a little emotional, at this moment he finally understood what Li Shimin meant by "Water can carry a boat and also overturn it".

The power of the people cannot be ignored.

What is a good emperor?
The emperor who can make the people under his rule pay taxes willingly, agree with your rule, and be willing to follow you is the real good emperor.

Such an emperor can respond to all calls and can twist the power of the people into one rope. This power is enough to open up the world.

Yinzhen is still immature now, and there is still a long way to go.

But this time the locust plague was successfully contained, not to mention the severely affected people in Shaanxi and Shanxi, but only the people in the capital and the vicinity of the capital. They all recognized Yinzhen as the new emperor.

Through this incident, Yinzhen has gained the sincere support of many people.

"Fourth brother, the most important thing now is to send people to Shaanxi and Shanxi for disaster relief." Yinxiang said.

"There are not enough people." Nowadays, officials in the officialdom are all guarded by officials. It is too difficult for him to find a few people who can really feel at ease and not corrupt.

"I don't know what happened to the students of the Imperial University. This kind of thing should be left to them."

Yinzhen sighed.

Yinxiang rolled his eyes and said, "How about letting Lao Ba out?"

Eighth Brother is a real person, and he has honestly repented in the past few years. If the prodigal son turns around, he should be given another chance to reform.

"It's still early in the month, and many people have food in their homes, and disaster relief is not very urgent. We can let Lao Ba go to Shanxi first, and then go to Shaanxi."

"Quantity is a test for him. If he passes, let him return to the court."

"You don't mind? I don't have any grudges in my heart?" Yinzhen doesn't have any deep hatred with the eighth elder brother, and it is Yinxiang who has the deepest hatred with the eighth elder brother.

"I don't mind. They are all fighting for this seat. Now that everything is settled, we are all brothers. It is a serious matter to work together to govern the Qing Dynasty well."

"And you can let Lao Ba take a group of students from the Beijing Normal University to practice. It's not enough to just learn theoretical knowledge, you need to practice more." Yinxiang said again.

Yinzhen pondered for a while, and finally nodded.Order someone to go to the eighth elder brother's mansion to summon the eighth elder brother.
