Chapter 452 The Crown Prince is in trouble

Mu Si'an almost made a mistake, but fortunately he responded quickly, "He is controlling locusts in the suburbs."

How to manage this? Du Wan was curious.

Mu Si'an told what he knew, "The ministers brainstormed, consulted ancient books, and came up with many ways to kill locusts. The harm of the locust plague is too great. We will not allow them to expand in scale. We will kill them as much as possible if we can." ."

Du Wan couldnt help but think of the origin of locusts, which usually occur only during droughts.

She couldn't help but feel annoyed. She had heard about the drought earlier, and knew that the emperor had ordered people to go to the disaster relief earlier, and the effect was quite good, but she had not thought of this. If she had known about it in advance, her farm would not have suffered losses.

Du Wan decided, "I'll go out and take a look."

"Princess!" Mu Si'an hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "No, no!"

What are you doing? Du Wan was confused.

Danger, danger outside.

They are just locusts, no matter how dangerous they are, how dangerous can they be?

This Mu Sian was at a loss for words.

The biggest danger of locusts is that they eat up all the food wherever they go. This resulted in food shortages in various places and countless people starved to death.

Du Wan was curious about how to control locusts. Most people couldn't stop them, but Mu Si'an failed to stop them.

Out of the city gate.

You can still see flying locusts outside the city gate, but they are no longer so densely packed that they cover the sky and the sun. However, Du Wan rode his horse and stopped on the official road outside the city gate.

The guards didn't know why the princess stopped, so they all stopped after her.

There are fewer locusts in the city, but there are still many outside the city.

Its okay to go alone, but she brought a hundred personal guards with her this time.

Let them go back and let her go alone?

It's their duty, and you know they won't agree without asking.

Du Wan paused for a while and pointed in the direction, "Go this way."

Yes. The guard responded.

Along the way, I saw people hunting locusts one after another.

There were officers and soldiers among them, as well as common people.

Du Wan also saw the Imperial Guards participating, "The Imperial Guards are here?"

It was ordered by the emperor. Chai Wei replied promptly.

Chai Wei has been thinking a lot recently. Zhuang Cong used to be with the princess, but he didn't see how capable he was. However, the princess actually reused him and gave him a farm to take care of. Some people think that Zhuang Cong has fallen and was assigned to be the head of the village by the princess. Chai Wei thinks exactly the opposite.

The princess was extremely concerned about Zhongzhuangzi and let Zhuang Cong take charge of it out of trust.

As long as Zhuang Cong can see Zhuangzi favorably, the future will be bright.

Chai Wei knew that the princess disliked him for not being well-informed. Later, he tried his best to pay attention to outside affairs and knew a lot of gossip. However, the princess did not ask him about it anymore, which made him feel very aggrieved.

The princess finally asked him again, and Chai Wei followed up, "Princess, the government has ordered the hunting and killing of locusts. The Imperial Guard, the Imperial City Department, and various military camps in the suburbs must participate. The common people can still catch them. The locusts go to a fixed location to exchange for food."

How to change? Du Wan became interested.

For example, one bucket can be exchanged for half a catty of fine grain, and one pound and four taels of coarse grain can be exchanged.

"not bad."

Du Wan said that this measure is good.

Motivated by interests, the enthusiasm of the people can be mobilized, and the scale of effective suppression of locusts can be achieved. As Du Wan expected, many people participated in catching locusts in order to obtain food.

Go further.

Du Wan saw a village.

Locusts are still flying all over the sky.

The only person in their group who is not affected is probably Du Wan.

To avoid confusion, the guards dismounted and led the horses away. As he walked, he waved the locusts flying towards him with his arms. Du Wan saw grasshoppers all over the ground.

Densely packed, luckily she doesnt have trypophobia.

On the rice fields outside the village, there were many officers and soldiers from the Imperial City Department, who were using various methods to hunt and kill locusts. Some officers and soldiers also pulled large nets, drove the locusts together, burned them and buried them with soil. Some people drove the locusts into a pit, poured water into it, and drowned the locusts.

Du Wan also saw traces of fire in an open field.

There should have been an operation to kill locusts here last night.

With all the videos or text descriptions Ive seen before, its never been as intuitive as it is now.

Seeing Du Wan standing there in a daze.

Chai Wei and several people stood around her to block the flying locusts.

Du Wan walked towards a brick house.

Most of the houses in the village are thatched houses. It is very rare to have a blue brick house among them.

The house Du Wan went to was considered relatively big.

As soon as I arrived outside the yard, I heard the woman inside the house crying, "My poor daughter, why is your life so miserable? How can you leave your mother and not... Wuwu, my mother is useless, I can't protect you, Mom is not alive anymore, so I will go with you..."

Shut up! a man shouted angrily.

That woman is not shrewd, she is crying in a weak way.

Perhaps it can be said that he is doing aggressive things with a soft and weak attitude, "Can I just shut up and pretend that nothing happened? Can I restore my daughter's reputation by just shutting up?! As the head of the house, you don't make the decision for your daughter. How come... I dont live anymore, I dont live anymore!

Then you go and die.

A cold male voice interrupted the woman's words.

The woman said "uh", paused and continued to cry.

Du Wan outside the hospital was very surprised.

If she heard correctly, the voice telling people to die was none other than Pei Hao.

Pei Hao could detect his indifference and ruthlessness from his voice, which was completely different from how he usually coaxed her. Du Wan shuddered violently.

Mom!

Is this the big villain?

Hu San suddenly reminded, "Master, the princess is here."

Pei Hao was annoyed to death by this guy. Not only did he not feel relieved when he heard this sentence, he was also startled, "Who? She is here, where is she?"

"Outside the courtyard." Hu San wiped the cold sweat from his master.

Pei Hao strode out and saw the little girl standing on tiptoes and poking her head out.

He was a little lucky that the walls of this family's yard were relatively high.

"Wanwan, why are you here?" Pei Hao strode to her and raised his finger to catch a locust that was about to pounce on her face. "Did you come here specifically to find me?"

No, I just wandered around and ended up here. Du Wan is an honest girl.

Pei Hao felt a little worried. The little girl couldn't even trick him into being happy or tell a lie. "You should say that you came to me specifically to make me happy."

But Im not.

Du Wan glanced at him sideways with a smile, and then glanced at the door of the house.

Hu San and others followed and stood aside silently.

At the gate, there was a thin woman, sneaking her head in to look at the situation outside.

Du Wan straightened her waist and said in a straight tone: "You are in trouble. Do you need my help?"

No need. Pei Hao had a headache.

The little girl is very smart and must have figured out what happened.
