The emperor issued an order and used the jade seal on the spot. Someone went out with the imperial edict, and there would be an edict to deliver it to Henan quickly. Pudu Cihang looked at everything in front of him and smiled. He had a premonition that he would bring down another stumbling block.

As for Xue Ji who can completely control the locust plague, he doesn't believe it unless Xue Ji can kill the locust god.

Two days later, the imperial edict arrived in Henan. Xue Ji welcomed the imperial edict. The emperor criticized Xue Ji and ordered him to do his best to control the locust plague. The court did not provide relief and relief. If the task was not completed, the emperor would be punished with serious crimes.

Xue Ji took the imperial edict and felt heavy when he held it in his hand.

He felt a lot of pain in his heart. It was so difficult to control the locust plague. In the past few days, all the crops in Kaifeng have been eaten up, and other governments have also suffered severe disasters. The disaster has almost taken shape. After the locust plague, it will be famine. By then, the whole of Henan will probably be hungry.

People have no food to eat, so there are only two ways: one is to escape famine, and the other is to raise an uprising to survive. These historical books are clearly recorded.

By then, Xue Ji was guilty of not being guilty, and he might not be able to escape death.

Taking a deep breath, he offered the imperial edict to the ancestral hall, and turned back to the study. He knew that he could not collapse now, even if the fate was destined, but he still wanted to work hard, not for himself, but for the sake of saving a few more people.

"I ordered all prefectures and counties to make every effort to rescue disasters. I discussed rent reduction with large households and reduced the burden on farmers. All prefectures should try to borrow grain and prepare for opening warehouses and relief."

After writing the orders, the yamen runners were asked to send them to the various prefectures, but they didn't know how far the orders could be completed by each prefecture.

Alas ~!

......

Jinhua Mansion.

In Wujiang Villa.

Jiang Hao was wearing a casual outfit and was practicing the Tiandun Sword Technique in the yard. The Chunjun Sword and Qingyun Sword kept spinning around him. The Tiandun Sword Technique is a profound sword-controlling technique, which is not inferior to Shushan Sword Technique.

Moreover, the Laoshan classics also record that the Tiandun sword technique is not only a sword-controlling method, but also a practice method. The annotation says that the Tiandun sword technique is to eliminate ignorance, greed and anger, 2 to eliminate ignorance, love and desire, and 3 to eliminate ignorance and troubles. It is of great benefit to understand this sword technique and the practice of mind and nature.

At this moment, Old Man Zhuge quickly walked in. When Jiang Hao saw it, he immediately put away the flying sword.

Zhuge Wolong walked to Jiang Hao and said with a heavy face: "I just received an urgent report from the City God of Kaifeng, Henan. There was a locust plague in Henan, and the scale was extremely large. Kaifeng City God asked what the City God Mansion needed to do?"

Hearing this news, Jiang Hao frowned. In ancient times, locust plagues were a major event, and they often caused famine and caused the tragic situation of people's miserable life.

"Tell me in detail?" Jiang Hao said.

"Kaifeng Prefecture City God Report, just two days ago, a large number of locusts suddenly appeared in Kaifeng's territory, covering the sky. It took only two days to eat the grain crops in Kaifeng and then spread outward."

"The government issued a disaster relief notice to allow local governments to drive away locusts, which will have little effect. There will be only a mess where the locusts pass. I am afraid that there will be no particles this year."

"Now locusts have poured into Guide, Runing, Nanyang, Huaiqing, Weihui, Zhangde, Ruzhou and other places, and their momentum has continued to rage. People have gone to the Locust Temple to burn incense and bow, but there is no effect at all."

Jiang Hao listened silently to the old man Zhuge's report, thinking about the information he had read.

In history, China was a country with frequent locust plagues and one of the most serious natural disasters in the country. On average, a large-scale locust plague occurs in a place every two or three years, and it has never stopped.

It was not until after liberation that the country made great efforts to comprehensively control the locust plague, which suppressed the locust plague and did not erupt for decades.

According to ancient records, locusts flew across the sky and the sun, and the ears and leaves were almost gone. The plants and animals were left with no remains, starving and slaughtered, and disaster victims were whistling in the mountains and forests.

If the people have no food to eat, they will definitely cause other disasters. Most of the peasant uprisings in China were rebelled because they were so hungry that they had no way to survive.

Jiang Hao watched the movie "1942", which is the Great Famine in Henan. It was because of the severe drought in Henan that a locust plague broke out, causing 12 million people in Henan to suffer disaster.

As the city god, he could not sit idly by the disaster, and he immediately made a decision.

"This matter cannot be underestimated. It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise countless people will suffer disasters. I will take people to Kaifeng and find a way to deal with this matter. You can stay here to handle the official business."

Zhuge Wolong looked at Jiang Hao and suddenly sighed, "If the current emperor and the court were as concerned about the people as the City God, the people would be blessed."

......

Jiang Hao immediately called Zhu Guang and ordered: "Immediately summon lychee, Yuxian, Pei Yan, Chi Scorpion, you five are with me to go out for business."

"Yes, young master!"

Zhu Guang took the order out.

When Jiang Hao returned to the backyard, the little fox was tidying up his clothes for Jiang Hao. When he saw Jiang Hao coming back, he opened a silk brocade robe and said, "Langjun, look at this dress, I just made it for you."

Jiang Hao picked it up and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, "Xinyue's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

The little fox was full of joy.

"Xinyue, I have something to tell you, I want to go out for a long trip, I don't know how long it will take to come back." Jiang Hao looked at Hu Xinyue and said.

Hu Xinyue paused, "Can you tell Xinyue where she went?"

"There is nothing to hide from you. Henan is plagued by locusts. I am going to go over and control it." Jiang Hao said with a touch of the little fox's face.

Hu Xinyue looked at Jiang Hao tenderly, "You have just been back for a few days, and I am reluctant to leave you, but I know that as the city god, I have the world's affairs, and I dare not stop you."

Jiang Hao looked at Hu Xinyue with reluctance and suddenly had an idea in his heart, "Does Xinyue want to go with me?"

Hu Xinyue's eyes lit up and she said quickly: "I will definitely not delay my husband's work!"

The little fox moves fast enough, and Jiang Hao can't even have time to regret it.

The next day,

He used the purple gold gourd to collect Zhu Guang, Lizhi and Yuxian, and held Hu Xinyue's waist with one hand, summoned two flying swords, one stepped on the other, and the two flew towards Henan.

......

Because it was daytime to avoid being seen, Jiang Hao used a small spell to block the figures of the two, and ordinary people could not see them at all.

After flying all the way, Jiang Hao spent all his spiritual powers on two or three hundred miles away. The two fell in a mountain field. After two hours, Jiang Hao was full of spiritual power. He hugged the little fox with a slightly red face and continued on the way. This is the benefit of carrying a gas station with him.

After flying to Henan, Jiang Hao found that there were countless locusts in the field eating crops. Many of the crops had been gnawed and bare. Countless farmers were struck with gongs and tried to drive away the locusts, but there were too many locusts and they were completely impure.

In a farmland, Jiang Hao suddenly waved his sleeves at the locusts, and immediately shot out spiritual power like silk and threads. The spiritual power shot through the body of the locusts, and a large area of ​​death was killed. However, Jiang Hao discovered that the dead locusts fell down, and new locusts immediately replenished their original positions and continued to eat the crops.

"There are too many, and I can't kill them all." Jiang Hao frowned.

"What should I do?" the little fox asked with a frown.

Jiang Hao thought for a while, "Continue to look in."

The two continued to fly towards Kaifeng with swords. Along the way, the scenes they saw were all like this. The fields were filled with dense locusts, countless, lying on the crops and eating wildly, farmers either drove them away or cried.

Just passed by a temple. There were countless people kneeling in front of the temple. Incense burners were filled with incense. People kept kowtowing and begging. Jiang Hao saw the plaque on the temple at a glance, "Locust Temple".

"Grandpa Locust God, please collect the locusts and give us a way out."

"From now on, we will have three sacrifices and incense offerings every year, and we will also ask you to take away the locusts."

At this time, a young man stood up and pointed at the Locust God and shouted: "Why don't we catch and kill those locusts, but we have to indulge him so much. Every few years, there will be a locust plague. Please ask the Locust God, how did he help us!"

As soon as the young man finished shouting, an old man stood up and pointed at the young man and cursed: "Don't be rude. Can you take responsibility for the anger of the Locust God? Besides, can this overwhelming locust be driven away by your and my powers!"

The young man looked at the statue of God, tears flowed down, and murmured: "Our family has worked hard for a year, and the crops in the fields are now gnawed clean, and the grains are not harvested. How can we live in the second half of the year?"

"So I asked Grandpa Locust to take over his magical powers." The old man shouted.

When Jiang Hao saw this, he didn't show up and said nothing. He took Xinyue away and continued to fly to Kaifeng City God Temple. The closer he got to Kaifeng's territory, he found that the crops in the fields were cleaner, and even the weeds and trees were chewed to baldness.

Jiang Hao sighed, "It seems that a great disaster has been formed. Even if the locusts are eliminated now, countless people will suffer from disasters."

Finally arrived at the City God of Kaifeng Prefecture. Jiang Hao pulled the little fox and flew directly in, blocking his body, and his soul entered the City God Temple.

As soon as he appeared in the Kaifeng Insect City God, he immediately changed into a purple dragon robe. Kaifeng City God was at a loss in the lobby. When he saw Jiang Hao coming in, he immediately bowed and bowed.

"I've seen the City God of the Capital!"

Jiang Hao nodded to Kaifeng City God.

The Kaifeng City God is the head of the Changchun Sect of Kaifeng Prefecture, a medium-sized sect, Taoist Master Wuqing, who has reached the peak of foundation-building in cultivation.

"Tell me about the current situation." Jiang Hao said.

Master Wuqing immediately introduced, "Just a few days ago, a large number of locusts suddenly appeared in Kaifeng without any warning. It was like falling from the sky. Before people could react, they only took two days to eat the crops."

"Yesterday, the governor ordered all prefectures and counties to organize disaster relief with all their might, but depending on the circumstances, major disasters may be inevitable."

"I once sent someone to try to eliminate locusts, but those locusts are overwhelming and are too numerous to kill them."

Jiang Hao thought for a while, "Go and summon the governor of Henan. I have something to ask him!"

"Now?"

It's still daytime now.

"Just now, it's urgent." Jiang Hao said.

Master Wuqing did not dare to delay and immediately went to the Governor's Office. Governor Xue Ji was reading reports from various government offices in the study. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell directly to the ground.

Then his soul floated out of his body and saw a man wearing an official robe standing next to him. Xue Ji was shocked. Master Wuqing immediately introduced himself, "I am the city god of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Xue Ji immediately bowed, "I have met Lord Chenghuang."

"Mr. City God is at the City God Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture. He is here for the insect scourge in Henan. He will call you to ask questions." Taoist Wuqing said.

Xue Ji was even more surprised. The City God of the City God was the King of Fuming Ling? Master Wuqing grabbed Xue Ji's hand and the two flew up quickly. During the flight, Xue Ji suddenly felt hope in his heart. Now that the City God of the City God intervened in the locust plague in Henan, he might be able to save him.
Chapter completed!
