The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

Liang Dong and other people from Liangjiazhuang were feeling extremely uneasy at this moment.

After all, Chen Qiu has said that if there are 10,000 kilograms, then 91% will be divided. If not, give it all to them!

But here’s the question… give it all to them?

That high-ranking official plays in the fields every day, but gets nothing. If he gets angry... they don't even dare to think about the consequences!

At the same time, many officials have begun to frequent the vicinity of Liangjiazhuang in the past few days...

What are they doing here?

Naturally, we came to see when the potatoes would be dug!

Once it is excavated, the result of the bet appears! Then it’s time to fulfill the bet! The free money is at least three thousand taels, so they are naturally very concerned about it!

"Sir, are these potatoes almost ripe?"

Although he was a little worried, Liang Dong was still ready to ask. After all... what if? Right?

"Soon! Chen Qiu smiled and nodded:"

In my opinion, let's wait another three to five days, and then we'll start digging!""

The potato vines are still relatively fresh, and the weather is not completely cold yet, which means that the potatoes still have room to grow.

Although they are not big, a little more would be good, right?

Anyway, if they are buried in the ground for three to five days, it will not broken

……

Youzhou!

It is located in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty!

Most of the people here grow rice, and now the rice is almost ripe.

Strings of rice hang on the seedlings. Almost every day, they will be fuller than the day before.

During this period, many old farmers will happily look at the rice that is about to mature in their fields every day, feeling very good.

Liujia Village is an extremely ordinary village in the north of Youzhou.

There are only a few dozen households in the village, but there is a lot of fertile land. Everyone has a lot of land and grows a lot of rice, so they can live a life of sufficient food and clothing.

"Liu Laoer, are you going to the ground again?"

"Pooh! Isn't it the same for you?"

"Hey, I saw Goudan just now. That boy went to the fields to weed before dawn. You said, this rice is almost ripe, why bother?"

"It's better to be more diligent……"

There is no fight in the village, everyone knows each other, and when they meet, they will make jokes and chat a few words.

The two of them were chatting when they suddenly noticed that the sky was getting dark.

"Damn it! Liu Laoer, is it going to rain heavily?"

"I said Liu Mazi, are you stupid? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival and it's raining heavily? Do you think it's summer?"Liu Laoer's face was full of disdain.

"No...if it's not going to rain heavily, then what the hell is going on?"

Liu Mazi pointed to the horizon, and Liu Laoer turned his head to take a look.……

"grass!!!!!"

"What the hell? Is it really going to rain heavily? Pack up quickly and go home! Don't get soaked in the rain!"

"right! It's so dark, it's obviously a dark cloud!"

On the horizon, endless black clouds were moving... At first glance, it really looked like the scene before a heavy rain.

But soon, there was a loud buzzing sound, which almost shattered their eardrums!

"No, that's not right!"

"This is not a fucking dark cloud, let alone a heavy rain, this is... this is……"

"Locust plague!!!!"

The two people reacted at the same time, shouting wildly, with a shrill voice that was enough to make those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears!

"There is a plague of locusts, there is a plague of locusts!!!"

The two yelled wildly, rushed into the village, took out their harvesting tools, and rushed into the fields.

The others were alarmed. When they came out to see, the overwhelming black clouds in the distance were moving rapidly towards this side. Wherever it passed, almost all the green disappeared!

Only the bare land was left, with almost no grass stems or leaves left!

Of course, the speed was not that fast, but it was definitely slow!

The overwhelming locusts After discovering the food, they rush down and gnaw wildly, while the locusts behind them continue to move forward.

And after the locusts have eaten all the food, they will follow the team and continue south... Wherever they pass, there will be no grass!

"Damn it, how could a locust plague break out!!!"

"Why is it at this time?"

"Can't it be done for ten days and a half? Even if it’s ten days and a half a month, that’s fine!"

"Quick, grab the food!!!"

The people in Liujia Village went crazy. They rushed into the fields desperately to harvest and snatch food...

However, their speed was too slow.

They didn't even get a tenth of the harvest, and the locusts swept over them.!

In Liujiazhuang, dozens of households with nearly 200 people closed their doors and windows, listening to the roar of locusts outside the window. Their faces were miserable and they almost lost hope.……

"what to do?"

"Locusts, damn locusts!"

"The grain is not fully mature, and less than one-tenth of it has been harvested. How can we survive this winter? ? ?"

"Don’t forget, we still have to give half to the landlord!"

"Could it be that we can only starve to death?"

When locusts cross the border, they refuse to accept anything!

Wherever they pass, there is nothing!

Food, leaves, and grass have all become bare, and nothing is left! The scale and scope of this locust plague are so large that it is simply Shocking!

It was not just Liujia Village that was affected by the disaster!

The entire Youzhou was swept away, and then, heading south, there was a strong tendency to sweep away the entire Tang Dynasty!

When the officials of Youzhou Prefecture received the news, Locusts filled the sky and swept across...

They were stunned……

"not good! Report to the court quickly!!!"

"Hurry up, you must hurry up and report the news of the locust plague to His Majesty!"

"It’s over! Something big happened in Youzhou this time! Even the entire Tang Dynasty……！！！"

Youzhou immediately sent people, covering their mouths and noses, riding fast horses to deliver the message amid the flying locusts in the sky.

However...even though the horse is fast, how can it beat the locust?

The messenger, who was running so fast, was even left far behind by the locusts...

There was despair on the messenger's face.……

……

There are more and more ministers coming to Liangjiazhuang to 'hang out' every day.

Chen Qiu knew the purpose of these people, but he just remained silent.

Huh, I'm going to make you so angry!

But suddenly, Chen Qiu's heart moved, and he felt vaguely that he seemed to have...forgot something.

"What did you forget?"

He closed his eyes, and various memories emerged in his mind, but he discovered that he had forgotten something.

"Not about me?

Chen Qiu's expression became more solemn:"If you put it this way, is it... related to history?""

Looking back at the history of the Tang Dynasty, there are too many things that happened.

Fortunately, at this moment, he only needs to look back at what happened between the second year of Zhenguan and the second half of the year. In this case……

"etc!"

Suddenly, Chen Qiu's eyes widened and he realized

"If I remember correctly, in the autumn of the second year of Zhenguan, there was a large-scale locust plague!"

"This locust plague has caused millions of people to suffer. The scale is simply shocking. In winter, even the roads are frozen to death!"

"Damn it, count the time, it should be almost there, right?"

"Damn, you forgot such an important thing!"

Chen Qiu's face turned pale and he quickly thought about countermeasures.
