Chapter 70 The Plague of Locusts(2/2)

After Gao Yeyun calmed down, he said: "Lin Yi, the drought has been going on for almost two months now. I'm worried that there will be a locust plague."

The drought has lasted for almost two months, and it is basically impossible to harvest the grain from the fields.

The most terrifying thing about locusts is that they eat everything, including flowers, plants and trees.

If there is a locust plague, nearby cities will truly become deserted lands.

If this is the case, it will take at least two or three years to return to the way it was before the disaster.

Border towns will also be affected.

It seems that I still need to handle this matter myself.

The reason why the prefect of Xuguangcheng wrote the note to himself was that in addition to telling himself that it was difficult for Xunguangcheng to provide military rations, he also wanted to seek help.

It's not that it wasn't reported to the court, but it's just a long way to go. I'm afraid that by the time the court formulates a solution, the people of Xunguang City will already be in dire straits.

Lin Yi said: "King Huiyun, I have checked a lot of information during this period, but I have not found an effective way to prevent locust plagues." Gao Yeyun also found a lot of information himself, and also asked Lin Yi and the doctor, and even asked him to

The deputy general went to ask those who had experienced the locust plague.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful method.

At this time, the deputy general said outside: "King Yun, King Jing has written a letter and asked someone to deliver it to you."

Gao Yeyun asked: "What did King Jing say in the letter?"

Ever since he heard Lin Yi say that someone had poisoned his letter paper before, Gao Yeyun was reluctant to open the letter himself.

From this we can see how cautious Gao Yeyun is.

After reading it, the deputy general said:

"King Jing said in the letter that locusts like to live in warm and dry places, so he guessed that the dry environment would be very beneficial to their breeding and growth.

Otherwise, locust plagues would not only appear when droughts are severe."

After Gao Yeyun finished listening, he took the letter and read it again.

After reading it, Gao Yeyun said: "If this is really the case, you can't stop it even if you want to."

Because this is simply not something that humans can do.

The drought has been going on for almost two months now. The fields, grasslands, and dry lakes are all warm and dry places.

And these places have now become hotbeds for locusts to grow.

Lin Yi said: "Since we know that these places are where locusts lay eggs and breed, we will do our best to kill them.

On such a hot day, renovating the ground should be enough to kill them all."
