Chapter 179 Caught off guard! 8 Later, the queen led the concubines, princes and princesses in the harem and also swallowed the Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Li Ji and others also ate locusts.
On the civil servant side, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also led many civil servants to eat locusts alive.
At this time, the people watching had already burst into tears and shouted loudly, "We don't blame your majesty, your majesty can't do this!" '
There is a steelyard in the hearts of the people. No emperor has been able to do this since ancient times. The resentment in their hearts has also disappeared, leaving only the hatred for the locusts!
"Oh my God!"
When Ji Song took Yao Chang and others to the outskirts, they saw the overwhelming locusts gnawing away a piece of farmland in the blink of an eye. Yao Chang had seen such a scene before and was immediately frightened.
As soon as these locusts landed in the fields or grass, they immediately began to eat, making loud chirping noises. Not only were the crops and fruits eaten away, but even the weeds were eaten away. They ate up all the green grass all over the mountains and plains.
"This is a natural disaster!" Liu Zhan was already fighting. He had never experienced the scene of locusts raging with his own eyes, so he could never describe its horror.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun, the demonic flames surged into the and earth, purgatory on of acres of fertile land, mourning floods the rivers, lakes and seas, I am the locust.
Before the locust plague appeared, it was easy to control and prevent, and it was possible to achieve minimal or no losses. But after it appeared, it was controllable and preventable on a small scale, with hundreds of millions in number, and the losses were small. Once a large-scale locust plague occurred, it would There is no way to govern.
In such a developed era in my previous life, we were all ravaged by locusts, let alone this long as an army of locusts forms, it will be the most terrifying weapon in the world.
At this time, Ji Song could see that some of the locusts had grown wings, which meant that they would move quickly soon, and it would be an indescribable disaster.
"Stop working! There is no way to defend yourself anymore. I was originally looking forward to the food from Haowei County, but seeing such a sky-blocking scene, how can there be any hope?"
You know, locusts don't stay where they will eat up all the edible food in one place, and then move to another place. No matter how good the insect control in Haoji County is, it can't stop the invasion of locusts in other places! Ji Song squatted on the ground in pain. He knew that there was no way to prevent this disaster from the were people from aristocratic families in the imperial court who were obstructing it, and Li Shimin even regarded this matter as a bargaining chip for show. No one really cared about how to govern.
"Master Hou? Why is there really no way?" Liu Laoer stopped his useless actions of killing locusts, knelt in front of Ji Song, and burst into tears.
Ji Song was speechless, what could he say?What can be said?The disaster that has already become an army of locusts is beyond the power of human power.
There is no need to save food because there is nothing we can comprehensive management and overall planning can effectively curb the spread of locusts in the early stages before the disaster occurs.
Without biological and chemical weapons, and without modern and efficient means of killing locusts, there is nothing anyone can do if they come.
"Master Hou! Master Hou!"
Chen Shou was in a panic, afraid of fighting the incoming locusts, but in front of the countless locust army, even your unparalleled magical power is useless.
When he came to Ji Song, he said loudly: "Your Majesty has urgently summoned you. Please come to the palace with your servants as soon as possible!"
"Haha! What's the use now? Is there any hope? It's hopeless, it's really hopeless!"
Ji Song allowed the locusts to continuously hit his face. The numbness in his heart had already made the pain in his body disappear.
Chen Shou was so anxious that when he came out, His Majesty issued a death order to bring the good seeing Ji Song's appearance and the overwhelming army of locust demons, he was heartbroken. Is there really hope for this? Ji Song did not resist and allowed several eunuchs to take him to Tai Chi Hall. "How come it's like this?" Li Shimin was shocked when he saw Ji Song's numb appearance. He didn't have the slightest bit of immortality in him. He was like a walking corpse that had lost his soul.
"Your Majesty, when I saw the Marquis, the leader of his soldiers knelt in front of him and begged him to think of a solution, but the Marquis..."
"What did he say? Tell me quickly!" Li Shimin was anxious.
"Master Marquis said, it's useless for anyone to come now. The disaster has already occurred and it's too late!" Chen Shou also began to cry loudly.
"Haha! Hahahaha! It's too late! Yes, everything is too late. Do you think I did the right thing?" Li Shimin's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and he stared at everyone and asked.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about what is right or wrong. There will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. We still have a lot to do. We can't make the same mistake again and again, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling also began to cry loudly at this time. .
It's too late to say anything at this time. We can only try our best to recover some losses and regard it as atonement.
"Take him down to rest first!"
Looking at Ji Song, who was like a wooden man, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch in his heart. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Yeah, what else can be said?Ji Song had told them long ago that locusts could only be prevented, but they didn't take it to heart at all in order to fight.
Looking at Ji Song being led out by Chen Shou, Wei Zheng was silent. He was also present at the time, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He had made so many preparations in the early stage. Whether it was chickens, ducks or locusts, he had already made plans.
As long as the locusts are together, they are ready to show their no one expected that the locust plague would become so large, and no one was given any time to prepare.
From the moment I received the emergency report, within just three days, I was completely out of one dared to catch the overwhelming locusts. Even Li Shimin, who was once the god of war on the battlefield, felt a sense of powerlessness when he saw the locust army covering the sky and the sun. This was simply beyond the power of human power! Ji Song was taken to the side hall, but what Chen Shou didn't expect was that the queen was also here.
"Go down, let me take care of him!" Chen Shou stopped him from giving a gift and said to him.
Chen Shou opened his mouth. Although he knew this was inappropriate, he still turned around and retreated when he saw Ji Song's appearance.
Changsun helped Ji Song sit down and began to straighten his purple face, which had been hit by locusts, and his hair, which had long been disheveled.
Li Shimin came over and saw this scene, he just sighed lightly and sat aside in a daze.
"I have broken this kid's heart this time. The disaster that could have been prevented was completely out of control in our hands. A good hand of cards was played to pieces." Li Shimin came to Ji Song, touched Ji Song's head, and felt a little Said pity.
"You may not know that when I first met this kid, he was no taller than my chest. But he responded calmly when I was furious. At that time, I knew that this kid would be extraordinary in the future."
"But no one expected that in just a few years, not only would he develop his family into a wealthy family, but he would also personally take the title of Marquis of Hao from me. Who can compare to such a talented and beautiful person?"
There has been some confusion recently, so Qiao Mu needs to sort out his thoughts. Next is the wasteland reclamation work in Guanzhong. After it is completed, it will be the time for Ji Song to step onto the big stage. This book is so slow, and it is also a big loss to all of you for your support. Thank you Qiao Mu!
