In just a dozen steps, he walked out of the momentum of a hero who never returned. It would be better if he came to PGM at this moment.

"What's the name of this hero?"

"The villain Li Hei, because the villain's life is also very dark, I named me Li Hei. The villain is dead and left three acres of land for the villain. The villain eats one by one and the whole family is not hungry. Even if he is poisoned to death, he will not cry and feel sad.

Although the villain has many problems, he is a little bit good and has great courage. Even if he walks to the cemetery at night, the lonely ghosts have to walk around the villain. After eating, he said it was delicious, but the villain's curiosity was aroused."

"Okay, the hero is honest. Okay, as long as you dare to eat two pounds of fried locusts, I will not only give you half a pound of food, but also give you an errand."

"Sir Xie, that villain will eat." The man proudly clasped his fists at the prefect, and suddenly the hungry tiger rushed to the basket, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth quickly.

This shows that although this person is not afraid of heaven or earth, he is still afraid of eating locusts.

"Click--"

Suddenly, Li Hei's body was slightly stunned. He raised his head and stared at the prefect with a round bull's eyes.

"What's wrong with the hero?" The prefect's heart suddenly became thrilled. If the first try-in failed and the people would be allowed to eat locusts, it would be difficult to implement it.

"Delicious—" Li Hei immediately gave a thumbs up.

"My fellow villagers, I really don't lie. It tastes delicious. Except for being a little ugly, it tastes really good, crispy and crispy. Come and try it..."

With a good start, the prefect finally let go of his heart. He invited Li Hei to enjoy it slowly, and then began to encourage the people to come and eat.

One or two... Finally, some people plucked up the courage to eat it. Although some of the ate said it was not delicious, most of them were satisfied with the taste of the oil residue locusts.

But facing the overwhelming locusts, eating alone is not enough. Even if everyone in Chuzhou eats 50 million people, they can't finish it in a short period of time. What's more, one-tenth of people who are willing to eat cannot be found.

"Friends, this locust is a rare delicacy. It would be a pity if you don't eat it. But I think you are not so hungry now. When you are so hungry, please try the taste of the locusts first when you want to chew the bark.

What I said is a bit ugly, and everyone may not like to listen to it. However, in addition to eating locusts, the prefect ordered you to capture locusts. No matter what method you use, as long as you can catch a hundred kilograms of locusts, you can exchange one or two ounces of food for me."

"What? Only one hundred pounds can be exchanged for one liang?" The exchange ratio immediately made the people explode.

"Yes, one hundred pounds are exchanged for one liang. Don't think that the exchange is too small. Come and demonstrate to them."

"Yes!" A yamen runner took the order, picked up a net bag, climbed up the ladder with a dongdongdong. Under the protection of several people, he held the net bag and waved towards the sky.

After a while, the yamen runner came down the ladder, and there were already dense locusts in the net bag.

The prefect took the net bag and held it to signal the people to see, "Everyone, you all saw it, it's so easy. There are at least two kilograms of locusts in this net bag. You said, is it difficult to have 100 kilograms a day?"

"It's really not difficult. If my family is dispatched, can I catch one or two thousand kilograms this day?"

"Yes, a thousand pounds are ten pounds of food, it's a good deal-"

"So don't rush to come to the city first. I will tell you today that the court will not ignore you. But you can't sit still and wait for death. You must learn to save yourself.

This official said that locusts are our irreconcilable enemies. Only by killing locusts can we save our lives. The more we kill, the more we can survive."

This scene happened almost at the gates of various prefectures and counties. As long as the people knew that the court had prepared, the court would not ignore them, and they would have a support in their hearts.

This sense of trust in the court was accumulated by Dayu's thousand years of governance. It was also laid by Si Zheng's policies since he ascended the throne.

Under the scene of hell in Chuzhou, the people in the city rushed to the major grain shops to buy food. However, when the people arrived at the grain shop, they found that the major grain shops had closed the doors uniformly.

The fear spread and the people in the city panicked. They did not have surplus food at home like the people outside. The surplus food in their homes may not be able to last.

In Xuantian Mansion, in the huge conference hall, the bosses of major grain stores were gathered together. This time, it seemed that their identities were exchanged, and the owners of major grain stores showed excited smiles on their faces.

Looking at Xuantianwei who maintained order around him, his eyes were inadvertently showing contempt. Feng Shui took turns, and it was finally time for the government to ask us. How much profit did we lose because of the limited grain price? Now I don’t say that those lost profits must be made up with capital and profit.

"The governor of Chuzhou, He prefect has arrived! The Xuantian Mansion of Chuzhou, Lord Lu has arrived--"

Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi walked into the conference hall together, and the grain merchants who had just talked a lot suddenly became quiet.

Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi sat down on both sides, and the servants immediately brought tea one by one.

He Xingzhi took a sip, but Lu Sheng's face was unmoved.

"Everyone, I've invited you here today. Everyone has obviously guessed the purpose.

Unfortunately, Chuzhou suffered a locust plague that had not exceeded a century. As the autumn harvest was approaching, tens of millions of grain fields were wiped out in an instant. The people were hungry, but the court's official grain alone was unable to help the people.

When Chuzhou is in trouble, everyone in the Chuzhou is responsible for everyone. This prefect hopes that everyone will work together with us to do a good job in helping the people. Here, thank you all."

"We are also from Chuzhou, and the people of Chuzhou are all our neighbors. We have no choice but to open warehouses and release grain. But the adults have to say something ahead of us. It is okay to ask us to assist in relief, but can we temporarily withdraw the grain limit order?"

As he finished speaking, all the buzzing sounds disappeared instantly. He Xingzhi's face suddenly became gloomy. Even He Xingzhi, who sang a white-faced, was as gloomy as water, let alone Lu Sheng, who sang a black-faced face.

"You are thinking about the beauty of the food restriction order will never be withdrawn. Do you want to raise the price of grain to make money in the country? Dream!"

"Lord Lu, food is shortage, and the rise in grain prices is the trend. And we are all businessmen, so we can't redeem the money for business, right?"

"This trend is not easy to use in Chuzhou! The grain restriction order is a death order. As long as Dayu still exists, this order will not be revoked."

The major grain merchants immediately looked at Lu Sheng together, and the smile on their faces had to be put away. No one expected that they would be furious, and the attitude of the government was so tough. If the major grain banks had not opened warehouses and released grain, they would not have been able to last for half a month with official grain alone.

All the grain merchants instantly looked at the three major grain merchants in the lead again. Originally, they dared to make a request with the prefect's mansion this time, relying on the locust plague in Chuzhou. They were all confident in their hearts. But now, Xuantian Mansion actually showed such a tough attitude, which caught them off guard.

"Since Lord Lu said that... the little people had to obey the order. It would be fine if they did not withdraw the grain restriction order, but if we did not open the warehouse, the government would not forcefully rob it, right?"

The owner of Baijia Grain Store slowly stood up and asked with his fists at Lu Sheng.

"You dare!" Lu Sheng stood up and shouted in anger.

"The court has a clear order that private property cannot be occupied for any reason. If Lord Lu wants to rob him forcibly, the villain will have no choice. But afterwards, the court's laws became waste paper and the court's credit was gone, Lord Lu was afraid that he would regret it."

"Private property cannot be occupied for any reason, and the people of Chuzhou will naturally abide by the court's laws and regulations." He Xingzhi gently put down his teacup and said coldly, "But if someone does not comply with the court's laws and acts in private and violates the law and discipline, don't blame me for the prefect."

"That's natural. After I go back, I will definitely restrict my subordinates from acting rashly. When will the grain limit order be revoked, we will open the warehouse and release the grain. However, the villain has a word first, and the adults can afford it, but they are afraid that the people of Chuzhou cannot afford it!"

"Then it's time for Boss Han to worry. There is still some surplus in the granary of the government."

"Then I'll say goodbye!"

The major grain merchants stood up and left arrogantly, but Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi sat in the same place with gloomy faces.

"Mr. Lu, what should I do now? These bastards are so confident."

"The grain restriction order must not be withdrawn. Once it is withdrawn, they will continue to raise the grain prices and cause chaos that will cause at that time will be even more uncontrollable."

"But... the imperial court can provide disaster relief for half a month at the fastest, and the inventory cannot last for ten days. The locusts that cover the sky and the sun cannot be cured in less than half a month..."

"So we must be quick! Let's do a two-pronged approach. First, urge those who go to buy food to go on a long journey. Second, we must eliminate the locusts as soon as possible when we launch everything."

"We have already thought about how to think of it. We have blocked Chuzhou and blocked locusts with barriers and mobilized the people to eat and catch them. However, there are too many locusts, and we have used the means we can use to achieve little effect!"

"Actually... there is another force we don't use." Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, and his voice spread like a mist.

"There is another force? What force?"

"Jianghu!"

On that day, all Xuantianwei from all counties and prefectures of Chuzhou were dispatched and headed straight to the Wulin sects in the deep mountains and dense forests.

"The locust plague broke out..." In the valley, the fierce lion looked at the locust flying around like a fly on his head and said lightly.

"Yes, I don't know how many people will die." The black fox picked up a fried locust from the basket beside him and put it in front of him to look carefully. "That Lu Sheng is really a bit terrible. He can make fun of fried locusts... I admire him a little."

"It's just a drop in the bucket!" Zhuque opened his eyes coldly, then closed it again.

"Yes, when do you think the first wave of refugees will appear?"

"It's less than three days. Are you ready?"

"It has been prepared long ago. As long as the refugee wave is together, rumors will spread. Soon, they will become the pioneers of our weakening of Chuzhou's power. After a thousand years of reincarnation, the number of Dayu's energy has been exhausted. The sky indicates that Shenzhou will usher in a new dynasty... This is the destiny and no one can change it."
