Chapter 648 Locusts! Disaster!
Soon, Ruyu entered the kitchen lightly.
"Princess, do you need help from me?"
"Don't you need your help to get you to eat for free?"
Yun Wanning glanced at him, sniffed his mouth, "Picked the garlic."
Ruyu was surprised when she saw the weight, "So much?! Is this going to bald my subordinate's fingernails?!"
"Think of a way yourself."
Yun Wanning was chopping ribs, and Mrs. Zhang sat behind the stove to burn the fire.
She glanced at him sideways, raised the big kitchen knife in her hand and slashed it, and the ribs were slaughtered into small pieces.
Ruyu subconsciously fought a cold war, feeling that the knife seemed to fall on his back... He quickly moved a small stool and sat at the door, as if he was a good baby, and began to peel garlic.
Mrs. Zhang is getting older and starts to sleep soundly as she burns the fire.
Ruyu glanced at her enviously, and smashed a garlic head over...
It just hit the bridge of Mrs. Zhang's nose!
She didn't wake up, but instead snored, which was so loud.
Ruyu was speechless.
He wanted Mrs. Zhang to help him peel garlic, but when he saw that the old man fell asleep so quickly, he had to accept his fate and peel the garlic.
Yun Wanning saw that Zhang was sleeping soundly from the corner of her eyes, so she asked Ruyu, "What are you busy with today? You will only return to the palace at this time."
"But something happened in the palace?"
Ruyu is a straight person and will not hide it in front of Yun Wanning.
After hearing her question, he immediately told her truthfully, "Aren't the Chen family coming to the palace to apologize today? The emperor wanted to see the Chen family and asked his master to deal with the government affairs."
"Today, many court officials reported that the locust plague this year was severe."
"Locust plague?"
Yun Wanning frowned.
She could guess that Mo Ye encountered a problem today, but she didn't expect it to be a locust plague?!
If it is artificially troublesome, you can find a way to solve it.
But natural disasters and man-made disasters are difficult to deal with.
Especially for terrible things like locust plague.
Before traveling through time, she lived in a peaceful era and had no worries about food and clothing. Of course, she had never seen with her own eyes how terrible the locust plague is!
However, in some documentaries and foreign news reports, she has seen the power of locusts.
Locusts are a global agricultural pest. Their hazards are characterized by periodic population outbreaks and long-distance migration.
There is a rumor: Locusts enter the country and no grass grows.
But this thing has a strong reproductive ability, and it is difficult to exterminate them all.
In the 21st century, locust plague is still a difficult problem.
What's more, now?
This problem is probably even more troublesome!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ruyu said again, "Princess, you're afraid you haven't seen what a locust plague is? Good guy, that scene is so terrible!"
"Have you seen it?"
Yun Wanning asked retortly.
"yes."
Ruyu said seriously, "I and Rumo left Beijing with my master to Boyuan County to deal with a locust plague."
Boyuan County, again Boyuan County?
Yun Wanning only felt that I heard about this place name quite frequently today.
It seems that all the things today are related to Boyuan County...
"Then what?"
She asked curiously.
"Nothing then!"
Ruyu blinked, "At that time, the master was young and energetic. Rumo had a bad idea, saying that sprinkling paraquat would definitely kill the locusts."
The words were interrupted by Yun Wanning, "Ru Mo's bad idea?"
She was very skeptical of this sentence.
"Is it a bad idea from Rumo or a bad idea from you?"
Rumo, such as jade, is much more reliable!
Ruyu's old face turned red and she touched her nose in embarrassment, but she burst into tears due to the strong and pungent smell of garlic.
He quickly said, "Princess, don't worry about who came up with this idea... Anyway, you know the most about poison, so you should know that paraquat is not a good thing."
"So not only did the locusts be wiped out, but the crops all over the ground..."
It was also destroyed.
Yun Wanning was ashamed.
Just listening to Ruyu's description, I knew that this idea was indeed quite bad.
But what made her even more curious was that people who came up with this idea had a pitfall in their minds. Could it be that Mo Ye had a pitfall in their minds?
He would actually agree with such a bad idea?!
"Will Mo Ye actually agree to your proposal?"
She asked in surprise.
Ruyu scratched her head, "It's not that the master is not wise enough. The locust plague that year was really terrible! We tried every means to stop the locusts."
"The master was furious and then used paraquat."
"The master said that he would rather break the jade than make the tiles, and would rather cut the locusts than let them continue to be rampant."
Yun Wanning: "...what do the people eat?"
Once paraquat is sprinkled, all the crops will die.
Even if the people are accidentally poisoned...
Mo Ye’s move is too reckless!
Ruyu replied: "The court allocates food."
"What do you think about Father?"
"The emperor didn't say anything, but this matter was caught by the third prince, the camp king at that time, and he studied hard for my master."
Ruyu frowned, "Since then, the master has not cared much about the government."
After hearing what he said, Yun Wanning probably understood what was going on.
Mo Ye was also a young man who had great ambitions and wanted to contribute to the court.
Unexpectedly, I was persuaded to withdraw at the beginning. I had a headache when I encountered a nail like Mo Huifeng.
No wonder Mo Ye didn't care about the government later and was devoted to being a "waste prince".
Have a bad reputation in outer space, but no real power.
It was still stimulated by Yun Wanning that he took the Shenji Camp and started a step-by-step "official journey".
Yun Wanning probably understood the whole story, and then nodded thoughtfully, "So what will the prince plan to do this locust plague?"
If you think about it carefully, Mo Ye would be forced to use paraquat that year, which was a must.
First of all, he was young and energetic, and there was an unreliable "staff" like Yu around him;
Secondly, behind Boyuan County is the capital.
If locusts fly into the capital, won’t the entire capital be broken?!
Although I don’t know where the locusts flew to Boyuan County, this matter seems to be strange everywhere.
"Where is the locust plague this year?"
"frontier."
Ruyu quickly replied, "Your Majesty! I've handed over this matter to my master again. My subordinate said, "It seems that the master will go to the frontier in person."
"frontier?"
Yun Wanning couldn't help frowning.
She slowly put down the kitchen knife in her hand.
Zhou Wei is on the frontier.
This time the locusts entered the country, it was the frontier again?!
Mo Ye plans to go to the border in person, but is it just because of the locust problem, or is it someone behind the scenes planning to lead Mo Ye out of the capital step by step?!
There were also incidents in the Zhou family, first Zhou Changfeng and then Zhou Yingying.
Will it be Zhou Wei next?!
Countless questions circling in my mind, and Yun Wanning gradually felt a bad premonition in her heart.
