Chapter 83, The Clouds Disperse The Mist
After hearing Mu Changqing's opinion, Zhao Junjie also knew that there was great potential for this matter.
Now that the locust plague is raging, she is worried about how to eliminate these locusts.
It is naturally not enough to rely solely on the Nanying soldiers who came with him, and it is also a treatment for symptoms but not the root cause.
The root cause of the locust plague is still lies with the people. Now, after listening to Mu Changqing's full name locust catch plan, he instantly made a decision.
There was no hesitation at the moment and called on all the soldiers in the county to gather on the street in front of the county government.
The soldiers in Nanying were densely lined up with several long streets, and most of them went down to major villages and towns in Qingping County to maintain order.
Seeing this situation, the people in the county couldn't help but poke out the window and stretched their necks to watch.
Seeing that the soldiers had gathered, Zhao Junjie glanced at Mu Changqing, and Mu Changqing did not hesitate to jump onto the high platform in front of the county government.
Looking around, looking at the green and firm faces in front of him, Mu Changqing said loudly, with enough strength in his voice, and he could hear it clearly for hundreds of meters in the entire radius.
"My brothers may not know me. My name is Mu Changqing, who is about the same age as you."
"Mu knows that you have a mission to come to Qingping County, and want to keep the people in the water and fire, but now locusts are spreading, covering the sky and the sun. The brothers are full of passion but have nowhere to do their best. They can only watch the crops and seedlings in their eyes, and the people's wealth and hard work are gone. "
"Mu is like you, heartbroken. Could it be that the locust is really a crime from heaven? Mu feels otherwise. As long as everyone works together, what natural disasters cannot be eliminated?"
Waving his hand, Liu Youde, who had woken up, walked up to the stage with two plates of fried golden and crisp locusts.
Pointing at the food on the plate, Mu Changqing continued to shout.
"This is the locust that is like a demon in the eyes of the people. Who said that this is a crime from heaven? It is obviously a delicious food from heaven!"
After saying that, Mu Changqing grabbed a handful of crisp locusts and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them while nodding with satisfaction.
The crowd looked at Mu Changqing's behavior and couldn't help but swallow a little saliva subconsciously. It was not something that was used to be aided, but it was scared.
"Mu also had an exchange with Dr. Su from the Imperial Hospital yesterday. This locust is rich in nutrients and is of great benefit to the human body. How could such deliciousness be a crime from heaven?"
Sitting in the county government office, Su Qingyue, who was quietly preparing a bowl of Chinese medicine prescriptions, listened to the clear voice coming from her ears, and two shallow dimples slowly appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Chang'an County is really a kind person.
Doctor Su?
Listening to Mu Changqing's words, the crowd felt a little calm.
The soldiers were disciplined and did not whisper and talk, but they believed most of them.
Mu Changqing and the others don’t know each other, and most of them know that being rich is noble, but Su Qingyue and the others are familiar with each other.
The doctors of the Imperial Hospital who came with him were not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. I don’t know how many poor people have been treated in the past few days. They all saw it and respected her very much.
In ancient times, people naturally had a hint of respect for doctors who cured diseases and saved lives.
Since Dr. Su said that this locust is edible, wouldn’t it mean that this locust can really be used as food?
Taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, Mu Changqing pointed at the locusts on the plate and smiled.
"But who would like to taste it?"
As soon as the words fell, a pair of slender jade hands stretched out to grab a few locusts from the plate.
Then he stuffed it into his mouth in front of everyone.
Zhao Junjie's voluntary consumption of locusts was somewhat beyond Mu Changqing's expectations.
Then he smiled and looked at her carefully without saying a word.
This is Zhao Junjie's usual style of leading by example.
I thought that even if this locust is edible, it would not taste much better, but I never thought it would be extremely crispy and delicious when I got it.
"General Zhao, how about it?"
Mu Changqing spoke.
"good."
He replied lightly, but Zhao Junjie didn't say much.
But this is enough.
Although Zhao Junjie is a female commander, she has a very high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the Nanying. Even she personally ate the locusts and praised them for their good taste.
As a seven-foot man, can you still be afraid of these locusts? Who has dyed countless locust corpses in his hands these days?
Looking at the soldiers who were suddenly in high spirits, Mu Changqing randomly selected a few people to let them taste the taste of locusts.
Of course, there is no need to talk about the follow-up.
The onlookers were unable to turn their heads by this scene.
Can this locust really eat it?
Otherwise, why did these soldiers eat so delicious? Even the female general ate the locusts himself.
Is it really as the young master said that this locust was not a crime from heaven, but a delicious food from heaven?
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost rendered, Mu Changqing clapped his hands, and a team of soldiers walked up to the stage with several large boxes, and then opened them one by one.
Suddenly, boxes of white silver and shiny copper plates appeared in front of everyone.
The soldiers in the South Camp were a little confused.
Where did this young master do it?
The people watching stretched their heads and looked at the silver ingots that were shining under the fire and couldn't help swallowing a few traces of saliva.
This time I really helped.
With so much money piled up together, how could they have seen it?
"Mu is as concerned about locust plague as you do, but Mu is limited in ability and can only give out all his money worth 200,000 taels of silver."
"I hope that my brothers can go to various villages in Qingping County early tomorrow morning and call on the people to catch locusts. All locusts will be 10 cents per kilogram, and I will collect as much as I can."
What?
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an instant.
The soldiers looked at Mu Changqing in disbelief and were impressed by his big move.
Spending all family wealth is just to hunt locusts, and the people can also benefit from it.
Ask yourself, they may not be so selfless.
The people watching were green in their eyes.
A pound of locusts is worth ten cents? Then the locusts all over the mountains and fields outside the city have turned into white silver.
At this moment, most of their fear of the locust in their hearts had disappeared.
The soldiers looked at each other, and the next moment, they took out a few silver entries from their pockets in an orderly manner and then walked up to the stage to put the few broken silver and copper plates into the box.
Mu Changqing looked at it in a daze, his eyes sluggish.
Then a heat flow slowly flowed out of the eye sockets.
After gently wiping the corners of his eyes, Mu Changqing turned around and bent down solemnly bowed deeply to the many young soldiers below the stage.
"Mu thanked you all for your great righteousness for the people of the world!"
"Thank you, Mr. Dayi!"
"Thank you, Mr. Dayi!"
The soldiers shouted in unison to respond.
There was a bang.
A hole suddenly exploded in the sky in Qingping County that had been dim for a long time.
Chapter completed!
