I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

The emperor was very angry.

"I have a plan to solve the locust plague in Guanzhong!"

As Gao Yang said this, all the ministers in the imperial study looked over.

Wang Zhong's face suddenly changed.

He couldn't sit still.

Gao Feng's eyes changed wildly, and he couldn't help but scolded, "Son, don't talk nonsense. The locust plague in Guanzhong involves millions of people. You can't do anything wrong!"

"Back off!"

If a solution can be proposed for such a disaster, it will naturally be a great achievement, but if it can't be cured, it will lead to the spread of locust plague.

Even the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will be in trouble!

On the side, Wang Zhong was moved.

Although he didn't believe Gao Yang had a solution, he was still a little panicked.

After all, he knew Gao Yang was very vicious from the first two times, just like a living devil.

Who knows what vicious method he might have come up with.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang with expectation, "Gao Yang, if you have a way, just say it boldly, don't worry about the consequences, I and the other ministers will consider it."

Gao Yang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have heard what General Wang said, I dare to ask you to be a witness."

Wu Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong was suddenly shocked.

Damn it!

Impulsive!

This kid can't really have a way to kill locusts, Chang'an toilet, you can't lick it all your life...

He was about to speak and wanted to retreat strategically.

But Wu Zhao nodded directly, "I heard it, you just don't worry."

"The most important thing now is the locust plague in Guanzhong!"

Wang Zhong's face turned green when he heard this.

This is a big loss. Gao Yang doesn't have to pay anything if he loses, but it will be miserable if he loses.

Gao Yang smiled.

He is not a saint, and revenge is his style.

"In this case, I will dare to put forward a few humble opinions, but before that, I want to confirm the memorial submitted by the governor of Guanzhong County. Is the locust plague already broken out, or has a large number of insect eggs appeared but has not yet broken out?" Gao Yang asked.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, "Now it's just eggs, not a large outbreak, but Liu Wu wrote to the court to make a response, the number of locusts this time must be terrifying."

Seeing this, Cui Xinghe said, "Mr. Gao, a large number of eggs will definitely cause a locust plague, and the locust eggs are deep in the ground and difficult to eradicate. What's the difference between the two?"

Gao Yang looked at Cui Xinghe and shook his head, "Cui Zhuangyuan doesn't know, the difference is too big."

"If the locusts cover the sky and the sun, there is almost no way to deal with it, and we can only start with disaster relief, but it's just a large number of eggs, not yet erupted, there is a lot of story!"

Gao Yang looked up at Wu Zhao and said confidently, "I have three plans, all three plans will be able to greatly delay the disaster of the locust plague in Guanzhong this time!"

"The first plan is to catch!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes focused on Gao Yang, and she didn't expect Gao Yang to be so confident.

She couldn't help but ask, "How to catch them?"

"The court issued an imperial decree that people who catch locusts in the fields can exchange them for food at a certain ratio."

"Once this decree is issued, the people will definitely move upon hearing the news."

As soon as these words came out.

In the imperial study, the faces of the ministers were strange.

Wu Zhao frowned.

Puff.

Wang Zhong was the first to sneer, "I thought Mr. Gao had some clever plan, but I didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous plan."

"Oh?"

"What's so funny about this plan?" Gao Yang looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong said with contempt, "You, a young boy, have never seen the arrival of a locust plague. It will cover the sky and the sun, and it will only take a few hours for a place to be completely wiped out."

"Although the Guanzhong area has not really erupted yet, it is difficult to catch locusts in the fields. According to your plan, how should the court formulate the ratio of locusts and food exchange?"

"If the ratio is too low, the people will not move at all, otherwise the food exchanged will not be enough to catch locusts. If the ratio is too high, the court will spend so much food. What's the use of these broken locusts?"

Wang Zhong's eyes were full of contempt, and he thought Gao Yang was ridiculous.

He was almost scared to death, but he didn't expect Gao Yang to be like this?

Although he was a warrior, he knew that this plan was absurd!

Gao Feng stepped forward, looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen locusts before, and I said something ridiculous in a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I will discipline you when I return home."

Wu Zhao also had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The monkey show and the work-for-relief program in Linjiang City gave her too much of a surprise, so she had high expectations for Gao Yang.

Gao.

But this strategy is really mediocre.

"It doesn't matter. Locust plagues have been difficult to solve since ancient times. Those who can come up with strategies should be encouraged and not punished."

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and said disappointedly: "Gao Yang, your strategy is indeed inappropriate."

"The court exchanges locusts for grain. If the proportion is too high, it will put a huge pressure on grain. Besides, these locusts are useless."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, who said locusts are useless?"

When these words came out, Wu Zhao was stunned.

What use can a pest like locusts have?

Gao Yang continued, "My first strategy should be combined with the second strategy to achieve miraculous results."

Wang Zhong snorted coldly, a little disdainful: "This mouth is harder than my spear."

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes suddenly looked at Gao Yang, and even Shangguan Wan'er looked over unexpectedly, her beautiful eyes flashing.

"Gao Yang, what is your second plan?"

Wu Zhao was full of expectations.

If she could really quell the locust plague in Guanzhong, it would be a great prestige for her.

After all, the people of the world would feel as if they saw a flood and a beast when they heard about the locust plague!

Facing the eyes of everyone, Gao Yang said lightly.

"My second plan is to eat!"

"The court has set a certain ratio of locusts to exchange for food, and then these locusts are uniformly collected and roasted, and dried. They taste like shrimps and can be used as food."

"This can give the people a good exchange ratio. The people are willing to catch locusts, make and sell these locusts, and use the money from the sales to make up for the expenses. Why not do it?"

Gao Yang's light words came out, and the entire imperial study room instantly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Gao Yang.

"Hiss?"

"Eat locusts?"

Their faces were strange. After all, locusts have been pests since ancient times. Who has ever eaten pests?

Gao Yang also said that after drying, it tastes like shrimp...

Is Gao Yang going to eat the locusts to extinction?

Wu Zhao's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be considering it.

Wang Zhong was a military commander, and he didn't understand the twists and turns, so he could only stare at Gao Yang.

He panicked.

If the locusts were really edible, then using these two methods together might really work wonders.

But Cui Xinghe said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this plan will never be implemented. It will bring disaster to the people!"

Wu Zhao frowned, "Why?"

"Although I have never seen locusts, I have read a lot of books!"

"In the past, during major disasters, locusts covered the sky and the sun. After sweeping across the land, the people had no food to eat. Therefore, some people were starving and not only ate locusts, but also had several methods."

"But it is not a big deal if the number of locusts consumed is small. Once too much is consumed, symptoms such as diarrhea will occur. This is enough to show that locusts are poisonous and cannot be eaten."

As soon as the words fell, the entire imperial study room fell into a huge noise.

Cui Xinghe's expression did not change, but he sneered in his heart.

He admitted that Gao Yang did not follow the ordinary path, and some of his methods even amazed him, but in terms of reading history and reading a lot of books.

A hundred Gao Yangs are not as good as him!

Locusts cannot be eaten at all, they are poisonous!

Who can bear the responsibility if they eat them?

Otherwise, he would have proposed this policy long ago. How could he leave it to Gao Yang!

On the side, Xu Xuanji also said, "What Cui Zhuangyuan said is very true. I was once the governor of Qingzhou. A huge locust plague broke out there. I saw with my own eyes that although the people who ate locusts were not fatal, they all had varying degrees of discomfort in their bodies."

"This method is a method that will bring disaster to the people!"

Xu Xuanji used this sentence very seriously, and could even be used to punish him!

Wang Zhong heard it and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Gao Yang has made all kinds of stupid moves. Please throw him out. Otherwise, if you really do what he does, the consequences will be too serious!"

Wu Zhao's face also changed, and it was very ugly.

She looked at Xu Xuanji, "Do you really mean what Prime Minister Xu said?"

Xu Xuanji bowed respectfully and said, "Every word I said is true. I dare to guarantee it with my head!"

"Your Majesty, this locust plague is really a punishment from heaven. I am not talking nonsense. Once there is no snow in winter, no rain in spring, and drought in summer, locust plagues are likely to break out. Although Lord Gao's method is good, locusts are poisonous!"

"This will definitely not work."

At this moment, Wu Zhao was silent.

Locusts are poisonous, fly fast, and penetrate into the soil during the egg stage. It really seems like a punishment from heaven!

Is it necessary for the people in Guanzhong to suffer this disaster?
