Chapter 836: Locust Plague, Locust Plague

"The Half Moon Talk of the Great Sui" itself is a huge gimmick, and it comes from the Great Sui court, as well as the emperor, the chief official of the three provinces, ten ministries and nine temples. All kinds of power are superimposed, and it is difficult for this publication not to be violent.

This is of course a reason, the key is that the people of the Great Sui live in a desert era blocked by news, and their thirst for new information is beyond Yang Tong's imagination, and this demand continues to drive the sales of "Half Moon Talk of the Great Sui".

Some savvy businessmen even buy large quantities, ready to take them back to their hometowns to be scalpers.

After all, these articles from the emperor and various bigwigs are themselves heroic and highly collectible, and aside from the different layouts, this novel format is no different from books, and it is cheaper than books. When this kind of 'star book' arrives in the locality, it is definitely better than the book, which also makes this issue of "Da Sui Half Moon Talk" popular.

"Add 500,000 to print!"

"Two more million!"

“……”

After the second phase was continuously reprinted, the buying boom of the first phase slowly subsided, and the sales volume in the country reached an appalling 5.3 million...... The number of renewals has also skyrocketed to about 120,000 copies, plus the yamen, city libraries, and school libraries at all levels that are regularly distributed across the country, even if individual customers are not counted, 200,000 or 300,000 copies will be printed and distributed in the future.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Tong immediately set up a news department led by the supervision of the three provinces and the Ministry of Rites, and the printing points of Daxing, Taiyuan, Zhuojun, Yecheng, Jiangdu, Jiangling, Qijun and Pengcheng were also under intense preparation.

With the spread of the first issue of "Half Moon Talk of the Great Sui" in the world of the Great Sui, the Xihai Sea that produces green salt has also subverted people's impressions, making people's understanding of it from a wild place at the beginning to a rich land full of green salt.

Yang Tong, who came from later generations, knew that the best way to eliminate the impact of one news was to launch another explosive news in a row, so the front page headline of the second issue was the locust plague that was closely related to the people.

After the great drought, there will be a locust plague, which is the life experience summed up from generation to generation, but how did the locust plague come about, the people do not know, and if they can't explain it, those ignorant fools will think that it is related to the emperor's virtue? Is it the emperor's immorality that causes the heavens to be dissatisfied? To condemn the people, the emperor needs to bathe and change clothes? Guilty of one's own crimes? In this way, we can gain Heaven's understanding.

The despair of the locust plague, the panic of the unknown, and the help of people with hearts? The people soon became dissatisfied with the emperor. And the dissatisfaction of the people has always been the family's door valve dependence? It is also a sharp blade against the emperor and the imperial family. What if the emperor did as they wished? And if the locust plague is not alleviated, then it will evolve into the fact that the emperor has been unforgivable, and if it is alleviated a little, will it be said that the emperor himself has made an edict? Does it mean that he knows that he is not good? In that case, why should he be made emperor?

And the headline on the front page of this issue elaborates on the origin of locusts, the reason why locusts are in drought is because locusts lay eggs in arid places? And locust larvae can only grow in this environment, so the drier? The more severe the locust plague, and the seldom of locust plagues in the south? It is because of the vertical and horizontal water network and swamps in the south that the locust plague has lost a large number of natural occasions for reproduction.

After talking about the cause of the locust plague? And some ways to exterminate locusts? For example, is it natural for poultry and birds to eat locusts? As long as the chickens and ducks are fed in large quantities and the ducks are driven to the fields and wilderness, these poultry can catch locusts and find locusts to eat, so that they can not only save the food for feeding chickens and ducks, but also eliminate the worms that have not yet become adults, and the people cannot afford to eat expensive mutton, if they raise many chickens, ducks and geese, the people can not only eat fatty meat, but also sell it to make money.

The key is that the emperor also said in the article that the locusts themselves are delicious, the old man eats the locust in good health, and the child eats it smart and clever, and finally attaches three ways to eat fried locusts, flying locusts Tengda, and fried locusts. The miracle doctor Sun Simiao said that locusts have the effects of warming the stomach and helping yang, strengthening the spleen and eliminating food, dispelling wind and relieving cough. And in the end, Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Yuan Tiangang released a prescription that made all men excited:

"The locusts are washed and the legs and wings are removed, the mountain spring is boiled, the sun-dried and ground powder is taken out, 30 grams of locust powder are washed with boiling water and swallowed, and after two moments, the head is held and squatted 30 times, the knees are bent and jumped 30 times, once a day in the morning, noon and evening, as long as you insist on one month, you can achieve the effect of aphrodisiac."

Since ancient times, all normal men want their aphrodisiacs to last, even the septuagenarian is no exception, as long as you give him an authoritative aphrodisiac direction, Sensei said that he eats 90 grams of locust powder every day, squats 300 times, and jumps 300 times, that is, he is willing to eat nine catties of mud every day.

Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Yuan Tiangang are the most powerful immortals and gods in the Great Sui, there are countless miracles about them, and any person's prescription is a hundred times more effective than the divine doctor Sun Simiao, and now the two immortals jointly create a prescription, and its power can be imagined.

The purpose of his locust column is to deal with locusts and locust plagues, first let people know the causes of locusts and extermination methods, and then fry its economic value to the sky, as long as its value is high enough, there will be a huge market demand, and the common people will see that it is profitable, even if they don't need the government to come forward, they will rush to catch locusts and sell them for money.

But before that, it is necessary to let the people of the Great Sui let go of their fear of locusts, calmly regard locusts as edible things, and calmly kill locusts, and this step is also the most difficult. So Yang Tong used the name of the two magic sticks to concoct magic medicine and fry the economic value of locusts to the sky, and he didn't believe that male compatriots would not eat this thing.

And how many locusts can be dried into powder by drying their heads and tails? How many locusts does a man need to make up for the 90 grams of locust powder he consumes every day? How many locusts do thousands of men sell every day?

Once this issue of Half Moon Talk spreads all over the world, every man wants to eat locusts for aphrodisiac, and every woman wants their men to eat locusts for aphrodisiac, and at that point, it will be a locust disaster, referred to as 'locust plague'!

。。。。。

On this day, Sun Simiao killed Daxing Palace with a black face, Yang Tong knew why he came, and in order to keep the secret of the prescription, he simply met this rigorous divine doctor alone.

Sun Simiao bowed and said to Yang Tong: "Saint, I do know that locusts have the effects of warming the stomach and replenishing yang, strengthening the spleen and eliminating food, dispelling wind and relieving cough, but I discussed with the bachelor of the medical school for three days, and no one has seen a record of locusts aphrodisiac in medical books. ”

"You yourself said that locusts have the effect of warming the stomach and replenishing yang, why can't they aphrodisiac?" Yang Tong asked rhetorically.

Sun Simiao opened his mouth and stammered, and after a long time, he said, "This, this is completely different, Holy Lord." ”

"I think that the divine doctor can learn from Shennong, go to the Qinglou to experience it today, and then take it according to this prescription for a month, and then experience it again, and compare the two by two, won't the authenticity come out?" Yang Tong said seriously.

"......" Sun Simiao was speechless.

Yang Tong asked, "Locusts aren't poisonous, right?" ”

"It's true." Not to mention the embarrassing question, Sun Simiao's expression was much more normal.

"Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Yuan Tiangang are not only Taoist aliens, but also proficient in medical skills, and the recipe jointly created by the two of them may not be without cause." Yang Tong saw Sun Simiao's numb silence, desperately held back a smile, and said in a compassionate tone: "The key is that locusts are not poisonous, and eating them is not only harmless, but also good for the body, so what does it matter if we let the people of the world eat them?" My Great Sui already lacks a population, so if everyone gives birth to seven or eight children because of this locust, it will naturally be a good thing for my Great Sui. Even if it is not aphrodisiac, it can also get the effect of strengthening the body, carefully calculated, this is also one of the aphrodisiacs, do you say this is the truth? ”

Sun Simiao nodded in agreement: "That's right." ”

"That's right!" Yang Tong sighed and continued: "The aphrodisiac referred to by the two immortals may be a certain part, or it may be the entire body of a person, but whether it is strong as a whole or individually, eating locusts is an aphrodisiac after all, and it is good for people after all. ”

"Minister, I know it's wrong." Sun Simiao bowed.

"I don't want to say anything more, but everyone lives a long life, isn't it the tireless pursuit of the pharmacist? Back to the school palace, the benefits of locusts, if everyone lives long because of locusts, it is also immeasurable merit. ”

"Whoa."

Sun Simiao suddenly realized that if you want to promote something since ancient times, it has always been an upward and downward effect, and the best speed is that the emperor takes the lead and the courtiers follow suit. The Holy One is for the good of thousands of people in the Great Sui. did not hesitate to put this kind of tiger and wolf recipe on the supreme "Great Sui Half Moon Talk", which is simply well-intentioned.

On the way back, Sun Simiao, who was quite touched, found that some soldiers were secretly squatting and jumping......

Arrived at the Imperial Doctor's Office.

bumped head-on into Wei Zheng of the Criminal Department and Kong Yingda, the secretary of the School Department.

As a result, before he could speak, the two Shangshu were one on each side, put Sun Simiao aside, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Sun, we are all our own people, if you have locust powder here, you must give it to us first!" ”

"I don't have a single locust here, everyone is really embarrassed,...... Sun Simiao looked at a large number of officials who sneaked over, and reminded with a wry smile: "This recipe is also very simple, and the locusts at the moment are very large." You can go to the private sector to buy a large number of them, anyway, you are not short of money. ”

"Oh, the divine doctor is reasonable, reasonable."

"Yes, yes, I can't think of it."

"It's still a miracle doctor who is smart."

The big and small officials who were secretly listening next to him heard this, and without saying a word, they dispersed in a hurry and left the Imperial Doctor's Office in a hurry.

Out of the Imperial City.

I found that the streets and alleys were filled with the shouts of locusts.

Many people are the servants of various noble families.
