Chapter 450 Du Wan learned to hide
Zhuang Cong was shocked by the news of the locust plague. The locust plague he remembered was terrible. Wherever he passed, the crops were left without leaving anything.
Du Wan mentioned a few points that should be paid attention to, especially vegetables grown in greenhouses, must be protected and sealed properly, and no gaps should be left. "If you can't do it, you will collect them all."
"This is not difficult, my subordinates will stare at it." Zhuang Cong thought of poultry and livestock, "that is the cattle shed and sheep pen..."
"These are nothing. Don't kill chickens and ducks. When the locusts really come, they will drive them all to the field. They eat bugs and eggs, including locusts."
“…”
The two of them discussed for a while, and Zhuang Cong kept the key repeatedly in his heart. Then he took Du Wan's token and left the city overnight, without caring about darkness and rushing to the night.
Because of the locust plague, I am afraid that the Mid-Autumn Festival hunting will not be able to go. It is hard to say when the locusts will arrive, but it is only the past few days, otherwise the situation would not have been so urgent.
If you encounter a locust plague in a camping place in the suburbs, the locusts that cover the sky and the sun are too terrible to imagine.
As Du Wan thought, the next day, news of the locust plague spread and the price of food soared. The government stepped forward to suppress the vendors who were going to raise prices and put a large amount of money in prison.
The court had no way to cure locusts, so it could only let the people harvest all the edible crops in advance as soon as possible, and then do other prevention work to minimize losses.
At the same time, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and areas that were subject to locust plague were exempted for one year. As soon as the tax exemption policy was released, the local people's favorability towards the emperor increased, and they were grateful.
The villages in various places in the Princess' Mansion immediately followed and started various preventive work.
Du Wan went to the farm in person and found that the Zhuang Cong was doing things properly, so she didn't say much. Instead, there were many chickens, ducks and geese in the farm, which surprised her. After the locusts passed, the poultry might be fatter.
Then Du Wan returned to the clan.
As soon as I got back, I saw a lot of people in the field, all rushing to harvest crops.
Some people have already harvested most of their crops.
Some villagers were lucky enough to say that locust plague might not come, and maybe the locusts would take a detour. Usually the paths taken by the locusts can only predict a general direction, and it is possible to suddenly change the direction. As a result, the man was criticized by the old patriarch so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head and went to work.
Du Wan watched the whole trip happily.
After walking around, Du Wan accidentally learned that the clan had learned about the locust plague in advance and was preparing two days ago.
Du Qian was called in Hui tribe for this reason.
Compared with the crops in the ground, the tribe obviously pays more attention to personal safety.
House reinforcement and windows are sealed.
Du Qian also asked someone to inform the fiefdom, quickly prevent locust plagues and harvest crops. From this matter alone, Du Wan could see the difference between Du Qian's treatment. Du Qian stared at Du Jiazhuang all the time, asked them to make predictions from house to house, and when they changed to other people's villages, they sent someone to notify the village chief.
Du Wan asked: "Brother, aren't you afraid of lip service in those villages?"
"Fate is theirs, and I pay attention to it, so I don't care more." Du Qian didn't care much about it.
He asked someone to inform him and he had fulfilled his responsibilities.
Du Wan easily accepted Du Qian's words and no longer paid attention to other villages.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, hunting was cancelled.
Originally, the little guy's full moon banquet was ready for a big banquet, but now it is time to hold it simple.
Some time ago, droughts in various places have not yet fully recovered, and there has been another locust plague, which has caused panic in the capital. It is indeed not advisable to hold a big banquet. I will add some dishes to everyone on the same day to add more joy.
I had predicted that the imperial disaster would come, and even passed by the capital.
However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people were lucky and complained that the morning was not doing anything, and that they would harm the good crops. Unexpectedly, at noon on the last day of mid-August, locusts that covered the sky and the sun flew over. First, a small black dot in the sky gradually turned into a big black dot, and then gradually blocked the sunlight.
Everyone outside the house hurriedly hid in the house and closed the doors and windows.
Du Wan was in the mansion that day.
Most of the locusts are outside the city, and only a few are entering the city.
Du Wan ran to the main courtyard as soon as possible and happened to see the eldest princess holding her baby brother. She was a little panicked, "Wanwan, are you here, are you hurt?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Du Wan looked around.
Du Fuma Shang went to the yamen in the morning, and Du Qian was still in the clan.
Hearing the movement outside, the eldest princess was panicked, "Wanwan! Wanwan quickly ask someone to pick up your father. He will return from the yamen every day, and it may be blocked at this time..."
Halfway through speaking, the eldest princess's voice was trembling.
When a person is sitting in a carriage, he suddenly encounters dense locusts, and it is easy to get into trouble.
What the eldest princess thought of, Du Wan also thought of, "Mom, I'll go there in person. Please close the doors and windows and don't go out."
"No, let the guard go--" the eldest princess denied without thinking.
"Mom forgot, I'm very awesome."
"..." She forgot.
Who makes her daughter smile softly every day? The eldest princess often forgets that her daughter is very powerful and does not need her to worry about being a mother. Her daughter has this kind of ability. She is obviously very strong but often forgets. She can be very reliable at the critical moment, so the eldest princess no longer stops Du Wan from out.
Before Du Wan went out, she pulled a cloak.
With cloaks, it can block most of the locusts that are flying in.
The guards all hid in the room, but Du Wan went out and did not call them.
It is more convenient for her to move alone than to take them with her.
Du Wan wore a large cloak, pulled up her hood to cover her head, and then covered her face with her long sleeves.
In fact, she doesn't need to do this. As long as she performs the exercises, a spiritual energy shield will form on her body, and the locusts that fly over will be blocked from the spiritual energy shield.
As long as she wants, the locusts will be killed instantly.
Du Wan doesn't want herself to be too special.
The more you practice, the more you learn to hide.
Du Wan was easily heading towards the yamen, and while rushing to pay attention to the movements ahead, looking for the traces of Du Fuma.
There were pedestrians on the street, and there were still a lot of carriages before noon.
When they encountered locusts in the sky, they rushed back to their homes, causing a mess.
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Division were rushing against locusts, and they were all maintaining order, with little effect. The reason was that on this section of the road, those who could ride on the carriage were either rich or noble.
Du Fu Madam's carriage was blocked in the middle.
When Du Wan found it, Du Fu had already got off the carriage.
Prince Du saw a man wearing a cloak and cloak coming.
The guard was about to come forward to stop him, but Du Fu stopped him and shouted tentatively: "Wanwan? Is it you?"
"Dad! It's me!" Du Wan said, "Mom asked me to pick you up."
