Very contradictory!

When Han Yi's order was transmitted to other disaster areas, Cui Jieren and his team's first reaction was also very conflicted. They didn't know what Han Yi meant.

But the situation on their side is very similar to that of Weizhou. The people all believe that natural disasters are the will of God and are irreversible. Why does God punish us? It must be because we did not do it well, especially because of the queen's imperfection. We must quickly cultivate our moral policies and correct our own mistakes, and God will naturally let us go.

However, if the locust plague is not eliminated, nothing can be carried out. Once the locusts spread, it will be very terrifying and the losses caused are inestimable. Although most of the drought-affected areas in Henan and Hebei have been completely lost, try not to allow the locusts to spread to Luoyang and Shandong.

No matter how you follow up, you must first eliminate the locusts.

Faced with ignorant people, the only thing Cui Jieren and the others can do is to believe in Han Yi.

It is embarrassing that the granary has been open for five days, but no one has taken locusts to collect food.

Not that there is no one who doesn't want to try this way, but the gentry class does not allow them to hunt locusts, and tells them that it was the queen who asked to do this, and that it was this ominous woman who wanted to excuse herself, so she set up a trap and let us be fooled.

Because Wu Meiniang's reputation has become extremely bad, everyone is willing to believe it.

In short, no one can believe in Wu Meiniang.

It can also be said that Wu Meiniang also had a negative effect

In front of a Dragon King Temple directly south of Weizhou, hundreds of people, led by a group of gentry, were praying for the Dragon King to rain, and everyone had very pious faces.

Suddenly, a scream came from the edge of the field.

The people who were praying were so scared that they looked back and saw a group of beggars with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, about thirty or forty people, each with a net, rushing wildly towards the fields not far away.

"What are they doing?"

One of the people exclaimed.

"Oh! They are hunting locusts."

"Quick! Hurry! Go and stop them."

Although these beggars were wearing tattered clothes, they were equipped with very complete equipment. Not only did they hold a net, but there was also a cloth bag hanging around their waists. The locusts caught from the fields were placed directly in the bag.

The poor locusts have been comfortable for too long and their sense of crisis has been greatly reduced. In the blink of an eye, they have caught many locusts.

"Stop! Stop!"

The people who worshiped in front of the Dragon King had already rushed over and stood by the field to stop them.

A beggar asked, "Who are you?"

An old man over there stood up and said, "I am a gentry here, what are you doing?"

The beggar said, "We are catching locusts!"

"Why do you want to catch locusts?"

"We see locusts that can be exchanged for food."

"You foolish beggars are really ignorant of the great world. Please stop me quickly."

"Why? This locust is not yours. Brothers, move more easily. We rely on these bugs for dinner."

"You guys."

The old man said anxiously: "Hurry, hurry up, bomb these beggars."

The people immediately rushed up with sticks.

Swish swish swish swish!

The sword flashed, but the beggars suddenly pulled out a knife, including a pig-killing knife, a dagger, an axe, and a big knife.

When did the beggar also carry a knife!

The leader of the beggar pointed at the people and said, "I have been hungry for a few days. Anyway, I will die. If anyone dares to come, we will fight with you."

I'm afraid I'm afraid of losing my life!

The people holding sticks did not dare to step forward for a moment.

The old man from Tianbian said anxiously: "I don't believe you dare to kill people, and you will bomb them away for us."

The beggar opened his eyes angrily and said, "Brothers, these guys are going to cut off our life, let's fight with them."

"Kill!"

These beggars are like madmen, raising their swords and rushing towards the people.

The people were immediately frightened, threw the stick, turned around and ran away, and ran away in a while.

No one is stupid. Although his life may not be very precious, who is willing to fight the beggar?

At the same time, a large number of beggars flocked to the disaster area. They caught locusts frantically, and they all carried weapons. Whoever wanted to disturb them would fight to the death.

The gentry immediately ran to find Han Yi.

"What you said is true?"

Han Yi suddenly stood up and looked surprised when he heard this.

Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Really, really, if Shangshu Ling doesn't believe it, he can send someone to inquire."

Han Yi said angrily: "It's outrageous. In the bright world, someone dared to commit a crime in the street."

The Lu Shigua on the side suddenly said, "Uncle Liu, are those people robbers?"

"It's not a robber, it's a beggar."

"beggar?"

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do beggars hurt the people with a knife?"

"Oh, they want to catch locusts, and of course we stop them, but they fight against us with knives."

"Ah, that's right!"

Han Yi looked embarrassed.

Liu Zheng immediately said: "What does Shangshu Ling mean?"

Han Yi sighed and said, "I'm afraid I really can't help with this, because the queen has issued an order to purchase locusts with food, that is, to encourage the people to catch locusts. Although this is not my opinion, it is the queen. I dare not interfere with the queen's orders. It is nominally legal for them to do so."

Liu Zheng said: "Are we just sitting there and watching?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Senior Liu, don't worry. You have told them the truth and stopped them. God must see it. They are obsessed with it. Then God will punish them. We don't need to worry, just wait and see their good show. So, what we have to do is tell them the interests. As for whether they listen or not, that is their business."

Liu Zheng thought about it, it seemed that the same was true, and said, "I'm worried that I'll be implicated by them."

“No.”

Han Yi shook his head and said, "What can you escape from God's eyes? God knows who is a good person and who is a bad person. So you must not have conflicts with them, and continue to sacrifice to heaven and earth. Those beggars and one bad life, so we don't have to fight with them."

"Yes, yes, what Shangshu Ling said is reasonable!"

After Liu Zheng left, Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Brother Han, did you arrange those beggars?"

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, this will kill people."

Lu Shigua smiled and said, "I have never seen that beggar with a knife."

Han Yi snorted: "Is this tiger snatching food without a knife? Besides, if I were a beggar, I would do this too. This is reasonable, don't think wrongly."

Although Han Yi firmly denied it, both Lu Shi Gua and Zheng Shanxing knew that this must have been arranged by Han Yi.

The food stall that had been silent for many days finally became lively.

I saw hundreds of beggars surrounding the door. How could they line up like this beggar?

The person responsible for delivering food was the imperial guards. They said they were dry and could not persuade them to queue up, so they had to give up.

These beggars carried bags of locusts and placed them on the table in exchange for heavy food.

The government really does what it says, and exchange one pound for one pound, and there is no shortage of pounds or less.

"Hurry up, hurry up. I'm almost starving to death."

"What are you anxious about? Don't you still have to weigh it?"

"Hey! How many locusts have you got?"

"At least two or three pounds, I won't be hungry these two days."

"Hey hey! Let's go to the river to cook together later."

"Okay!"

They were very excited here, and there were some villagers around them. They watched the taxes they paid and fell into the hands of these beggars. They felt so mixed in their hearts!

These beggars took the food and ran to the river that was about to dry up to cook, and the fragrance suddenly came to a burst of fragrance.

You should know that many people's rice jars have already reached the bottom, because not only did they not have a harvest, they are also squandering their surplus grains in terms of sacrifices, and their surplus grains are consumed very quickly.

However, now they can only watch these beggars eating delicious rice from the side.

When everyone saw that the locusts could really be exchanged for food, more beggars flocked into the disaster area.

The local people began to feel confused. What about the justice from heaven? Why are these beggars becoming more and more prosperous? There are still many beggars who are unwilling to exchange for food and want to exchange for silk. The government will respond to all requests and open silk exchanges.

As a result, these people not only eat well, but also wear well.
