Xue Ji followed Master Wuqing into the Mansion City God Temple. He looked up and saw a man wearing a purple dragon robe standing in the hall. He knew that he was the Mansion City God when he saw it. He immediately bowed and bowed.

"Henan Governor Xue Ji met the capital city god Fu Mingling Ling King!"

Jiang Hao nodded, "Get up, there is no need to be polite. This time I asked the city god of the mansion to call you here. I want to talk to you about this locust plague."

"Why would you like to ask, King Fumingling?" Xue Ji said respectfully.

"You tell me all the situation before and after." Jiang Hao asked.

Xue Jisui began to tell, "Just five days ago, a large number of locusts suddenly appeared in Kaifeng Prefecture, which affected more than a dozen counties in an instant."

"Where the locusts pass, it is like the cloudy sky, and the sun is blocked invisible. The large locust swarm is more than ten miles in a radius and a few miles in small ones. As long as it falls, dozens or even hundreds of acres of crops will be eaten completely in an instant. Wherever the locusts go, there will be no grass left."

"At this time, when the autumn crops were growing, they were gnawed all at once, and I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year."

"I rush to report to the court for 500 miles. I just received an edict from His Majesty yesterday. The court's treasury is empty and there is no fund for disaster relief. I ask me to find a way to rescue the disaster myself. If the disaster relief is not effective, I will be punished."

"Now the locust swarm is growing stronger and invading other prefectures, and the disasters are severely affected in various places. Although I have issued a disaster relief order, it may not be helpful. This year's major disaster may be inevitable. Now I just hope that the prefectures can raise a batch of food so that the people can survive the winter and starve fewer people to death. Alas~~~!"

Xue Ji sighed helplessly.

"The emperor is stupid!"

Jiang Hao said calmly.

Xue Ji was so tired that he didn't dare to answer this, but he felt a little acknowledged the words of the City God in his heart.

"It seems that the court can't count on it anymore. Now Henan can only find a way to save itself." Jiang Hao said.

Xue Ji looked bitter, "This disaster may affect two or three million people. To be honest, although I am a governor, I feel unable to help, so I can only do my best now."

"Don't be discouraged for now, there is still a way to imagine." Jiang Hao said in a affirmative tone.

Xue Ji suddenly remembered the identity of the person in front of him. This is the City God, a god. I believe that the City God of the City God could have a way, and hope arose in his heart.

"But you need your full cooperation in this matter and use your governor's rights!" Jiang Hao said.

Xue Ji knew that since the City God said that, I'm afraid the solution was a little troublesome, but he was already wandering on the road of life and death, so he had something to worry about. He made up his mind and said, "I don't know what the City God has to do, so I will do my best!"

The governor is the highest military and political chief of a province, and has the power to deal with the civil affairs, justice, supervision, and command the military.

Jiang Hao looked at Xue Ji and said, "It's very simple, kill locusts!"

Xue Ji was shocked to destroy locusts. You should know that in ancient times, people believed that locusts were punished by God, and they only dared to drive them away but not kill them. Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued an order to destroy locusts. Later, when the etiquette and education flourished, they completely forbidden the people from doing the matter of destroying locusts.

If a locust plague occurs or a small locust plague, officials will bring the people to worship and pray for the locust gods to be kind to them, and even the emperor will sacrifice to heaven and pray for the emperor, and pray for the death of his own crime.

Xue Ji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Chenghuang, how to destroy locusts!"

Jiang Hao said slowly: "I know that in the past, the people only dared to pray but not kill insects, but seeking is useless. We must find a way to eliminate locusts. You use the power of the governor and order people from all over the country to catch locusts with all their might."

"I dare to give this order, but I'm afraid the people won't listen?" Xue Ji frowned.

"There will be a way for the people to listen to, Zhu Guang, Lizhi, Yuxiang, Pei Yan, Red Scorpion, you come out." Jiang Hao said.

Brush ~!

Five people appeared next to them and bowed to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao looked at Xue Ji and said, "This disaster may be inevitable. All the food for the people in the second half of the year was eaten by locusts. How should the people survive?"

"I plan to let the five of them scatter all over the country and buy locusts on a large scale, one cent per kilogram, and as much as they can. If the people catch locusts, they can get money and buy food with money. Do you think they will abandon their concerns and do whatever they want to survive?"

Xue Ji's eyes moved, "I think it will. If it's all dead, the people would rather have enough food."

"Yes, that's the reason. When they catch locusts and sell them, they will naturally have money to buy food. Locusts will not really harm the people. Over time, the people will naturally lose their scruples." Jiang Hao said.

Xue Ji felt that this method was feasible and immediately said: "I will instruct all governments to cooperate with the acquisition."

Jiang Hao nodded, "Not only them, the city gods of all the prefectures will cooperate with this matter."

Xue Ji thought of something again, "I'm afraid I need to use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to acquire locusts. This is not a small amount of money. I'm afraid I need to use the official silver in the treasury. I will order to take out 100,000 taels of silver. Have you seen enough?"

Jiang Hao looked at Xue Ji and asked, "Without the emperor's order, it is a serious crime to use official silver privately. Are you not afraid of the emperor's crime afterwards?"

Xue Ji's expression showed firmness, pursed his lips, and said firmly: "If this method can be used to resolve the major disaster in Henan, I, Xue Ji, alone, would be willing to bear this crime."

Jiang Hao looked at Xue Ji and suddenly laughed.

Xue Ji was laughed at Jiang Hao in surprise.

After Jiang Hao finished laughing, he said to Xue Ji: "Xue Ji, are you interested in being the City God of Henan?"

Xue Ji loved the people wholeheartedly, dared to act and take responsibility, and was well-versed in management for many years. He was indeed a good candidate for the City God.

Xue Ji was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed deeply to Jiang Hao, "I am willing!"

"Okay, from now on, you will be the City God of Henan." Jiang Hao said, taking out a white jade seal from his sleeve, and putting out a Chunjun sword to carve it. Soon the City God of the City God of the City God of the World, Jiang Hao awarded Xue Ji the official position of the divine position.

Xue Ji knelt down and gave the seal, a golden light flashed across his body, and he put on a robe of the City God.

"Even if you are beheaded by the emperor in the future, you can still be the city god in the underworld after death. Haha, although you are not afraid of death, there is no need to use the official silver business. I will pay this money, and maybe I can make a fortune in the end." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"Make money?" Everyone else was a little puzzled.

"The locusts purchased are not completely useless, because locust plagues are poisonous and people cannot eat too much, but chickens and ducks are fine. We can purchase a large number of chickens and duck seedlings, so that each county can raise chickens and ducks, feed them with these locusts, and wait for the fat and big ones to feed them. Do you think it can be exchanged for money?" Jiang Hao said.

In fact, Jiang Hao bought more chickens and ducks and asked them to eat directly in the fields. However, he now wants to distribute money to the people in a different way, so he decided to breed them instead.

Everyone immediately realized that there was such an operation.

"If the people still have concerns, you can ask the city gods of each county to give them a dream, that is, the city god asked them to do this, and the city god's palace will take responsibility for this matter!"

The city god against the locust god,

In the eyes of the people, the status of the City God is definitely much higher than that of the Locust God. If you really have this dream, the people will probably not be so scared.

"I understand!" Xue Ji said.

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he waved his sleeves at the hall, and there were a dozen large boxes on the ground, filled with silver ingots.

He took out a bunch of silver notes and put them on the box, "These silver notes are all exchanged nationwide, and there are a total of 130,000 taels here, which should be enough."

He also said to his subordinate Wugui: "From now on, you will cooperate with Xue Ji to dispatch the city gods of various prefectures and counties to be responsible for the acquisition of locusts and chickens and ducks."

The five ghosts bowed immediately.

"Xue Ji, now whether it is the military and political power in the world or the dispatch of the underworld City God is in your hands, can you be sure to handle this matter well?"

Xue Ji took a step forward and bowed deeply to Jiang Hao, "Xue Ji will do his best to do this and live up to the heavy trust of the City God."

Jiang Hao nodded, "Okay, you guys go, the faster you act, the better it will be for us."

Zhu Guang stepped forward, suddenly opened his bloody mouth, swallowed more than a dozen boxes of silver into his stomach, and then Xue Ji disappeared with the Five Ghosts.

Only Jiang Hao and Kaifeng Prefecture City God were left in the lobby. Jiang Hao thought about it for a while and asked, "Where are more birds here."

"What do you ask the birds for?"

"Most birds eat locusts. The locusts move fast and can fly dozens of miles in a flash. I am going to summon the birds to help hunt and kill the locusts so that they can be eliminated as soon as possible and to reduce the loss of the people." Jiang Hao said.

Master Wuqing thought for a while and said hesitantly: "The City God, there is indeed a place where countless birds gather, but it is not easy to drive."

"Oh, why not drive it."

"Return to the City God, in the vast mountains of Henan and Shanxi, there is a place called Feixian Lake where a group of monsters with birds become spirits live, known as bird fairy, and countless birds gather."

"But there is a big monster there, which is an Eagle King. His strength has reached the Golden Pill stage, and he has talented magical powers. He has extremely fast flight speed. With his protection, no one dares to hunt the birds there."

"Before, my class conveyed the order you issued to them in the name of the City God, but the Eagle King replied that he did not want to be restrained and did not agree to surrender. I was about to go and talk to him in detail in a few days, and a locust plague happened."

Feixian Lake,

Bird fairy.

Jiang Hao remembered that there was a story in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio about Bird Fairy.

"What is the character of the Eagle King and the Bird Demons?" Jiang Hao asked.

Master Wuqing quickly replied: "The Eagle King and the Bird Monster have never harmed anyone. They just want to live in the mountains safely and not be disturbed. Even if there are bird catchers, they will just drive them away and never hurt them."

Jiang Hao nodded and had an idea in his mind.

"I understand. I will deal with this matter. You should cooperate with the City God in the City to handle the locust plague affairs." Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, sir!"

After leaving the city god, the little fox was sitting next to him in a daze. Jiang Hao smiled and went over, "Are you very bored?"

Seeing Jiang Hao coming back, the little fox immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It's not boring, I'm just thinking about my husband's teachings about my wall-walking skills."

Jiang Hao was idle on the way to come and taught the little fox a few small spells, including the wall-walking technique. The little fox does not have Jiang Hao's talent and has not learned it yet.

"Have you dealt with your husband's affairs?" asked the little fox.

"Well, the explanation is almost done. Let the local city god and the city gods from all over the country do it. Now, how about taking you to the mountains? I heard that there is a Feixian Lake in the mountains, and there are a group of bird monsters living. I'm going to go over and take a look." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay, okay!" the little fox said immediately.

The two left the City God Temple. Jiang Hao waved his hand to cast spells to cover their bodies, and flew to the northwest with flying swords. After a long time, they saw a mountain, which had reached the junction of Henan and Shanxi.

After flying for a while, I saw a big lake in the mountains. There were countless birds flying on the lake, free and free. Jiang Hao knew that the place had arrived, so he flew down with the little fox's waist and landed on the lakeside.

As soon as they landed, two little birds, Yihong and Cui, flew over and surrounded Jiang Hao and Hu Xinyue for two circles. Jiang Hao looked up at them. The aura emitted from their bodies, Jiang Hao knew that they had become monsters.

Pula ~!

The two little birds flew down, and as soon as they landed on the ground, their bodies changed and turned into two beautiful women, one in red and the other in green shirt.

The two women looked at Jiang Hao and Hu Xinyue, obviously a little alert. The woman in the green shirt asked, "You fell from the sky, look at the breath, you should be monks. I don't know what's going on when you come to Feixian Lake?"
