The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1191
Wu Meiniang never thought that locusts can also be eaten, and it is also a very delicious delicacy.

At least the first time she heard the news from the front that the emperor had eaten locusts as a kind of food, Wu Meiniang turned pale with fright.

Locusts have always been synonymous with disaster, but after eating locusts that have been fried, fried, and sprinkled with salt and chili powder, the taste has completely conquered her.

The speed of the army is not very fast. Will the emperor send an edict to the back in the front? According to the emperor's will, the generals of each army began to disperse to various places after entering the areas plagued by locusts. The small book on controlling the locust plague was sent everywhere.

Then began to promote the method that locusts can be eaten to calm people's hearts.

Before the autumn harvest, it is also the easiest time to run out of food. Seeing the newly eared rice being eaten by locusts, people's hearts are uneasy, but at least after the imperial court comes up with some countermeasures, it is not difficult to stabilize people's hearts.

Wu Meiniang understands that what the emperor wants to do now is to minimize the loss, and don't mistake it for going to the Jin Kingdom this winter, otherwise the emperor will never come to Maiqiu City in person.

The emperor sits in town, and he can make many young people put their minds away, and the five dare to move.

When Wu Meiniang arrived in Maiqiu City, the situation here was much better, at least the locust army that covered the sky and the sun was rare.

On the streets of the city, one could smell the aroma of fried locusts everywhere, and one could even see the dead locusts being burned in the fire, which had been filled with sacks and sacks piled up like hills.

Naturally, not all of them can be eaten up, and some of them are used to bury them deeply and burn them in a big fire, so as to prevent such a thing from happening in the next year.

Walking in the fields these days, Fusu deeply felt what it means to watch the sky and eat.The only good news is that the potato and corn crops did not suffer too much loss.

The gnawed leaves of the corn grew back, but the potatoes did not suffer any impact. This crop eats lumpy rhizomes, buried deep in the soil, and the plants exposed on the ground are not the favorite food of locusts.

Seeing this, Fusu couldn't help but feel a little proud. Under his governance, Daqin has developed by leaps and bounds. The crops produced by the same land have increased by many times compared with that of the Shihuang Dynasty. .

"Famine will not happen, but this year's tax exemption is certain." Fusu said to himself.

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Great Qin has a vast territory, and the tax exemption here will not have much impact on the court's tax revenue."

Fu Su nodded slightly: "We need to get people from Jinyiwei here. Although it has not been long since it was established and the control over local officials is still weak, it cannot be ignored. Local officials are the root of our Great Qin. "

While talking, Fusu pointed to an old tree in the courtyard. The old tree needs four or five people to embrace it to surround it.

"If a country wants to prosper and prosper, it must have a solid foundation. The original intention of creating the imperial examination system is to achieve great rule in the world. There will be no situation in ancient times where the aristocratic families dominate the government. As for the so-called doormen , is also what I hate the most; learned people don't get the opportunity to show their talents, so they have to be willing to work as slaves in other people's homes, which in itself is a kind of blasphemy against knowledge."

Wu Meiniang's eyes glowed with worship, and Fusu felt that he was doing a sacred thing.

"Those who are capable should be respected, and those who are also knowledgeable should be respected. This is the original intention of the imperial examination, not to stand still for the sake of social regression."

"My emperor is holy!" Wu Meiniang bowed with joy and surrender.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the emperor, and the emperor, who had been fighting for half his life, even felt a sense of twilight.

"After the matter here is settled, the army will go south, and I want to go to the river to have a look." Fusu said.

As long as the superiors pay attention, especially the emperor, there is nothing that cannot be done in this dynasty where imperial power is supreme and the emperor is No. 1 in the world.

At that time, the emperor built the Great Wall in order not to spread the scourge of the Xiongnu to the mainland; today, the second emperor, Ying Fusu, did not want to see his plan to conquest the Jin Kingdom run aground in Dongyue this year, so he went to Maiqiu City in person, and the locust plague broke out Although it was terrifying, it was completely suppressed in less than a month.

Walking to the edge of the official road, you can still see scattered grasshoppers lying on the grass, and when they hear something wanting to move, they immediately jump away.

The villagers in the village are in groups, holding a bamboo tube with an open end, just enough to put the grasshoppers caught in their hands, and when they get home, it will be a delicious meal.

Although Great Qin has not yet turned the vast land of Chu State into a solid land under its feet, in terms of territory alone, it may not be much worse than that of the First Emperor's dynasty.

In particular, the surrender of the Xiongnu Empire brought vast pastures to Daqin, as well as the Korean Peninsula of later generations. Daqin’s current Tang County directly extended to Wa County overseas, and it has always been under the absolute control of the emperor.

But Fusu came to Gaotang City for the first time. Here, he saw Liu Bang's tomb, which was not as majestic as he imagined.

Even after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Han Dynasty, it was once destroyed by the warriors of the Qin army; the stubborn old Qin people believed that the emperor did not issue an order to dig out the body of the traitor Liu Bang and flog the bones. For the traitor Liu Bang, this is already It is a great gift and tolerance.

The weeds have grown as high as Liu Bang's half-remaining tombstone.

Fusu tore off a few weeds with his hands, and turned to look at Wu Meiniang who was full of doubts: "Isn't it too cruel for you to say that it is too cruel for me to issue an order to exterminate the clan?"

"The Liu family's rebellion caused many deaths. The emperor must remember not to be kind to women." Wu Meiniang said with a serious face. At this moment, she thought of Lu Zhi, the empress of the Han Dynasty who was imprisoned in the capital's mansion by the emperor. There is a young husband who Lu Zhi doesn't have.

The two seemed to have no worries about eating and drinking, but everyone knew that Lu Zhi drank the sterilization concoction carefully prepared by Hua Tuo, and from now on he became a hen that could not lay eggs.

Lu Zhi had a child before, but he also died; a woman can be with the person she loves, but can't bear a child for this man, what kind of sadness will it feel in her heart?

If the emperor in front of her failed, Wu Meiniang felt that her fate would be a hundred times worse than that of Lu Zhi now!
Therefore, the emperor cannot fail, let alone have the benevolence of a woman.
