Chapter 237.1
The locust plague is one of the three great natural disasters!
Every time a locust plague occurs, it comes with a reduction in grain production, leaving the people hungry and unable to satisfy their hunger!
Even now, there are no particularly good methods to deal with locust plagues, mainly focusing on prevention.
If prevention fails, the only option is to spray pesticides on a large scale, but how could such measures exist in ancient times?
Therefore, when this matter was reported back to the imperial court, it received the courts immediate attention.
Great Luo Emperor frowned and said, My dear ministers, the southeastern lands have been struck by a locust plague of a magnitude that occurs only once every fifty years! The harm caused by locust plagues is well-known to all of you! Now, with the autumn harvest approaching, we will face a shortfall this year if the crops are devoured by the locusts! My ministers, does anyone have a good strategy?
After speaking, he eagerly looked at his trusted ministers.
However, the officials exchanged glances and then bowed their heads, unable to come up with an effective solution.
In truth, there was no solution. When a locust plague occurred, one could only resign oneself to fate.
Alas! Great Luo Emperor sighed deeply, feeling that the life of an Emperor was too difficult!
Ever since he was chosen by the Taoist Sect last year, his luck has been really terrible!
If it wasnt a tornado, it was an earthquake, followed by a once-in-a-century Ice Disaster.
Now, he faced both drought and locust plagues just when he thought things might improve.
It seemed as if the heavens were particularly attentive to him, sending nearly all natural disasters to his domain.
And on top of that, various man-made calamities
It was as if they wouldnt rest until he was tormented to death!
At that moment, Song Yufei gracefully arrived.
Seeing her, Great Luo Emperors eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, Fairy Yufei, our Great Luo is suffering from a locust plague, and we are at our wits end! Does your Taoist Sect have any methods to deal with this?
This Your Majesty, this is a natural disaster. How could it be resolved with human power? Song Yufei replied with a wry smile.
Your Taoist Sect has many great and capable individuals. Are you truly without any solutions? Great Luo Emperor asked unwillingly to accept defeat.
Song Yufei hesitated for a moment: Its not that there are no methods, but the solution we have is harmful to both sides!
Fairy, please tell me about it! Great Luo Emperor pressed on.
In the past, our sects predecessors saw the people suffering from the locust plague and unable to eat, and they couldnt bear it. After much painstaking effort, they finally developed ten types of poison! Spraying this poison on the rice seedlings would kill the locusts that ate it! They once used this poison to solve a locust plague!
Great Luo Emperor was overjoyed: Isnt that a good solution?
Your Majesty, you are not aware of the full picture!
The Great Luo Emperor laughed heartily, Look, Fairy, the poison is working! Everyone, quickly lights all the dry straw and spreads it throughout the fields! I want to leave the locusts with nowhere to hide!
Yes, Your Majesty!
In less than an hour, the dry straw mixed with poison was lit all over the fields.
The smoke slowly rose, spreading throughout the fields.
The locusts scattered in all directions, and those that couldnt escape fell straight from the sky, clearly poisoned.
Seeing this scene, the Great Luo Emperor was even happier.
Having the assistance of the Taoist Sect really made a difference!
Even when faced with a natural disaster, he could still get through it safely!
The dry straw was burned continuously for two days, and the smoke filled the sky, significantly reducing the number of locusts.
The remaining locusts, seeing they could not eat food, flew away.
Your Majesty, the locust plague has migrated!
Where to?
Report to Your Majesty, they have migrated towards the southeast!
The southeast direction?
Isnt that Great Xia?
After hearing this, the Great Luo Emperor was secretly pleased.
Great Xia, oh Great Xia, you too have your day of misfortune!
You dont have the assistance of the Taoist Sect. Lets see how you get through this disaster!
It would be best if the locusts devoured all your crops!
Keep me constantly informed about the locust situation in Great Xia, and report immediately if theres any news!
Yes, Your Majesty!
