Chapter 250 Locust plague

   "What's the reason?" Zhou Ying asked in a daze.

"Say it's sand, it's rubbish." Fang Qing said, but he stopped talking: "If I say it, it shouldn't be delicious and delicious for them, just go straight to the soup, and save their troubles. It's over."

   Zhou Ying was not surprised after hearing this. There is inevitably sand and dust in the dried vegetables. Now that there is no excess water to soak, it is inevitable that there will be sand.

   then looked at a few people and saw that they were not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What about now, what's the situation over there now?"

   "I was crushed by officers and soldiers.

   By the way, the pavilion chief asked the owners of each family to gather in Tianfu immediately, thinking that it should be about the porridge shed. "

   "I see, you can do what you want or what to do." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she got up and washed her hands, then went back to the house and changed her clothes before going out.

   But instead of going directly to Tianfu, he went to Hongyun Building to find Shopkeeper Liu.

   It happened that he was going to go out, so the two of them walked to Tianfu together.

  Lu Zhou Ying asked, "Uncle Liu, what do you think about this?"

   Shopkeeper Liu was startled and said, "It's not very easy to handle. If the porridge shed can't be opened, I'm afraid it will be messed up again."

   "Can't they drive them away?"

   "Drive away?" Shopkeeper Liu looked at her in surprise.

   He had always known that she was a kind person, but he never expected to say such heartless words.

   But it is exactly what he wants. It is a good thing for people to have kindness, but it can't be too much, otherwise it will be stupid.

   "Yes, we are not optimistic now. We didn't receive much food last year, so most of the people have limited food reserves, and they can't buy it even if they want to buy it now.

   Besides, the water here is getting less and less, do you think it can afford so many people? "

   "You're on point. To tell you the truth, I'm going to close it in three days."

   "Isn't it?"

   "Really, our food storage is also limited, but the military camp needs more food, so most of the food and meat are provided there."

   "Is there a shortage of food at the military camp?"

   "Yes, last year there was no tax collection in Dongyang Mansion, and the military rations could only be drawn by the imperial court.

But…….

   Now half of the Ming Dynasty is suffering from drought. The five prefectures from Kaiyang to the south and north have recently encountered a locust plague. It can be said that there is no harvest.

   You said that there is still food there, so we can only patch things together. "

   "The plague of locusts?" Zhou Ying exclaimed.

   Although she has never seen it, she has heard of it in her previous life, and she has also seen it on TV. Once the locust plague passes, it can be said that the ground is bare, and no grass grows. Some children can be killed by locusts.

  Thinking of this, I remembered the dream I had when I lived in the Mother Temple before, there was a scene of a thousand miles of red.

   If the prophecy is true, will there really be a flood of thousands of miles.

   Thinking of this, my heart started to shiver.

   "Indeed, our Dongyang is already good." Shopkeeper Liu told her about the situation in those places in detail.

   then said: "So, keep some food for yourself and live a small life at home honestly."

   "So, you're going to stop at the porridge shed too?"

   "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Hongyun Building now only has less than 1,000 catties of rice and 400 catties of white noodles."

   "It's almost the same, then we have to work together."

   "Well, but we can't open this head, I don't think we need to open it, just watch it." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.

   Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Fang Qing had said before, some porridge porridges are so thin that people can be seen.

   It seems that there are indeed more anxious than them.
