"It must be the second son's actions, which angered the heavens!"

"That's why the second son's fiefdom was full of locusts overnight, sweeping Nanyang!"

"This is God's punishment for Second Young Master!"

Chun Yuyue did not propose a solution to the locust plague, but instead attacked and accused Ying Ziyu.

"I agree with Dr. Chun's words, the Second Young Master is too murderous, if you continue to let the Second Young Master continue to behave mischievously, the heavens will definitely punish Qin Guo even more!"

Shu Suntong agreed, and took the opportunity to suppress Ying Ziyu.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

For a while, many officials of the Fusu faction agreed.

As long as there is a chance, they will suppress Ying Ziyu.

Hearing everyone's remarks, Ying Zheng looked a little displeased.

However, Ying Zheng did not completely deny everyone's remarks.

In ancient times, people were very superstitious.

Especially for natural disasters, people often think that it is a punishment from heaven.

Even Ying Zheng was a little skeptical.

The Qin State has not had a locust plague for many years, why did it happen at this time, why did the locust plague break out in Nanyang City.

Today, Ying Ziyu led the troops to fight, first destroying 40 Yan troops, massacring 10,000+ Yan nobles, and then destroying 30 Wei troops, massacring [-] Wei nobles.

Then, another [-] old Korean rebels were wiped out, and tens of thousands of old Korean nobles were massacred.

In less than half a year, the number of people slaughtered by Ying Ziyu had reached one million.

That's a pretty staggering number!

Bai Qi fought all his life, but he only killed a million.

And Ying Ziyu had slaughtered millions in less than half a year!

Exactly at this time, a plague of locusts broke out in Ying Ziyu's fief.

This is probably not just a coincidence.

Is it really because Ying Ziyu killed too much and angered the heavens, and the heavens punished Qin? .

Chapter 86 Yingzheng's ecstasy: As expected of a unicorn!

"My lord, this locust plague is caused by the second son, and Nanyang is the fiefdom of the second son."

"So, it's better to hand over this locust plague to the second son to manage."

At this time, Mr. Changping suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, although the Second Young Master is extremely powerful, controlling the locust plague is not about leading troops to fight. The Second Young Master lacks experience in controlling locust plagues. It may be difficult for the Second Young Master to solve the locust plague problem alone."

"I beg your Majesty's permission, I am willing to go to Nanyang to assist the second son in controlling the locust plague."

Wang Jian bowed and saluted, and said loudly.

"Report~"

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Second Young Master sent someone to send a memorial!"

At this time, a guard walked into the hall, holding a scroll in his hand.

"quick!"

"Bring it up quickly!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face brightened.

The personal eunuch next to Ying Zheng took the scroll from the guard and sent it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to open the scroll and watch the content in the scroll.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"As expected of the Qilin'er of the widow!"

Ying Zheng slapped the dragon chair heavily with his palm, and the sadness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by joy.

The ministers were puzzled, they didn't know what was written on this scroll, which could make King Qin so happy.

"My lord, what is written in the second son's memorial?" Li Si asked.

"My son Yu said in the memorial that within a few days, he will be able to solve the Nanyang locust plague, so that I don't have to worry about it." Ying Zheng laughed.

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the hall.

All civil and military officials felt incredible, unbelievable!

In a few days, the second son can solve the plague of locusts, how is this possible?

To solve the locust plague, the locusts must first be completely culled.

If the locusts are not culled, they will move to other places when they eat up all the food in Nanyang.

However, Nanyang City is not far from Xianyang City. Once the locusts in Nanyang City spread to the vicinity of Xianyang City, it will be a big trouble.

Killing locusts is a very difficult task, because locusts can fly, and it is not easy to kill locusts.

Just culling locusts is not something that can be done in a few days.

In addition to culling locusts, it is also necessary to provide food to the people so that the people can survive this difficult time and not starve to death.

This requires a lot of food to be able to do it.

Food is scarce on the market now, and it is impossible to raise a large amount of food in a short period of time.

Therefore, these civil and military ministers basically did not believe that Ying Ziyu could completely solve the locust plague problem within a few days.

Although Ying Zheng felt incredible, he chose to believe in Ying Ziyu.

"General Wang Jian, you lead an army of [-] to Nanyang to assist the second son in controlling the locust plague!"

Ying Zheng ordered Wang Jian.

"promise!"

Wang Jian responded and took the order to leave.

Seeing Wang Jian's leaving back, Fusu's eyes flashed gloating.

Although King Qin ordered Wang Jian to help control the locust plague, it was not easy to solve the locust plague.

He was waiting to see Ying Ziyu's joke.

No one can solve the locust problem in a few days.

If Ying Ziyu fails to solve the Nanyang locust plague...

At that time, King Qin will definitely be furious, and Ying Ziyu will fall out of favor.

Chun Yuyue also felt that Ying Ziyu had lost his mind, and even claimed that the problem of the locust plague would be resolved within a few days.

Without enough food, this kind of locust plague cannot be solved at all.

At this moment, Fusu, Lord Changping, and Chunyuyue had already made up their minds to pay attention. After leaving the court, they used all their connections to buy a large amount of grain in the market and hoard it.

In this way, Ying Ziyu couldn't buy food in the market, let's see what he used to help the victims.

.........

Zilan Villa.

Zi Nu is taking Ying Ziyu to browse the scenery of Zi Lan Villa.

Hong Yu hurried over.

"Sister Zi Nu, there is a locust plague in Nanyang City, and those rich merchants are rushing to buy food, should we also stockpile some food?" Hong Yu asked.

"What's the price of food now?" Zi Nu asked.

"It has risen tenfold compared to before, and it continues to rise."

"If you don't buy it again, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it in a few days." Hong Yu said.

"It's time to stock up on some food."

Hearing this, Zi Nu nodded.

After the locust plague, there will be a great famine, and at that time, there will be no food to buy.

Therefore, while food can still be bought now, it is indeed necessary to stock up on food to face the coming famine.

"What Zilan Villa needs to do now is not to hoard food."

"It's about selling the grain in Zilan Villa." Ying Ziyu suddenly said.

"what?"

"Sell the grain from Zilan Villa?"

"Second Young Master, are you kidding me?"

Zi Nu was taken aback for a moment, and there was a trace of surprise in her eyes.

"I'm not kidding."

"You listen to me, and you can make a lot of money."

Ying Ziyu smiled faintly.

Hearing this, both Zi Nu and Hong Yu looked puzzled.

I don't understand why Ying Ziyu said that.

"The price of food will be greatly reduced tomorrow, and it will drop to the level before the locust plague." Ying Ziyu said.

"` "This... how is it possible? "

"I do not believe!"

Zi Nu shook her head, with a look of disbelief: "Nowadays, locusts are raging, people have no crops, food is in short supply, and prices will definitely continue to rise."

"The price is soaring now, nothing more than because of the locust plague, the people have lost their source of food."

"I can solve this locust plague within half a day, and I can also solve the food for the people within half a day."

Ying Ziyu said slowly.

"Resolve the locust plague within half a day?"

"This...how is it possible?"

Hearing this, Zi Nu and Hong Yu were all shocked.

The locust plague has been a very difficult natural disaster since ancient times!

Ying Ziyu even said that the natural disaster could be resolved within half a day, how could this be possible?

Not to mention half a day, even ten days and a half a month, the locusts could not be completely culled.

Moreover, even if the locusts are culled, the locusts have already eaten up the grain in the field.

How will Ying Ziyu solve the food problem of the common people?

Counting (promised) tens of thousands of people, the food they need is terrible.

It is basically impossible to purchase food from the market to relieve the victims.

If food is released from the treasury for disaster relief, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If things go on like this, the treasury will be emptied.

"Second son, can you really solve the locust plague and the food problem within half a day?" Zi Nu asked.

Ying Ziyu nodded slightly, seeing Zi Nu's disbelieving expression, he asked back: "Do you not believe that I can solve the locust plague in half a day, or do you not believe that I can solve the food problem in half a day?"
