Chapter 983: I Don't Sell Chickens
The newspaper completely spread throughout Chang'an City, and the navy army sent by Shen Wansan secretly guided public opinion, praising Luo Chen as a tragic figure who can sing and cry this time!
"His Royal Highness Taizi understands the righteousness so well, I am so ashamed!"
"yes!" A man's eyes were red: "Since ancient times, the officials who went to control locusts have all become sinners through the ages and have been infamous through the ages, but this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefers to go to the Tiger Mountain, for what?" ”
"Is it really just a passion? Or is it money, fame, and fortune? ”
"Of course not!" An old man in gray cloth shook his head slightly: "If it is because of wealth, who else in the entire Chang'an City is richer than His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"If you talk about fame and fortune, it's even more impossible!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made great contributions to my Great Xia, and his poems and articles are even more well-known and famous, besides, His Royal Highness is dedicated to the country and the welfare of our ordinary people, is it not enough to be so famous and rich?"
"Why do you want to take risks yourself, fight with the sky, fight with the earth?"
"Didn't you respond to His Highness's poem, *******, *******?"
The people around were silent, and some of the passers-by also stopped, with a deep look on their faces!
"I still have a chicken at home, since I can't pull it, let the chicken take me on a trip!"
"Yes, yes, I still have two ducks at home!"
……
On the official road in the south of Chang'an City!
"Drive!"
Luo Chen and Yu Yao led the three thousand forbidden troops to gallop quickly, and now it has entered May, and the temperature has risen, although the horses are galloping, there is a breeze blowing on their faces, and many soldiers still have beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they still wave their whips fiercely!
"Walk for about half an hour to almost reach the riverside, today we spend the night on the riverbank, early tomorrow morning, cross the river and continue south, probably at dusk can feel Nanyuan County!"
Yu Yao on the side nodded, and said softly: "The soldiers only brought three days' rations, and the first thing we have to solve when we arrive in Nanyuan County is the food problem!" ”
Luo Chen bowed slightly, and said softly: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements!" ”
"Good!"
Under the full strength of the three thousand cavalry several times, within half an hour, they had already arrived on the bank of the Tongtian River!
And the sky has darkened, and after the Tongtian River is the boundary of Jiangnan, so Luo Chen ordered to camp on the riverside!
A bonfire was lit on the riverside, although there was only a large camp of 3,000 people, although it was in the territory of Great Xia, it still did not relax its vigilance, vigilance, patrol, and secret sentry were no less!
"Soldiers!"
Luo Chen gathered the soldiers in front of the camp, with solemn faces!
"I guess you don't know about our mission to the south!" Luo Chen glanced around, met everyone's puzzled gazes, and said softly: "Now, let me tell you, there is a locust plague in Nanyuan Mansion, and the people's thousands of acres of fertile land have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and the overwhelming locusts are spreading to the surrounding county capitals!" ”
"If we let it go, at most three months, Jiangnan will have no grass, and when the autumn harvest comes, the people will have no harvest, and at that time, it will be an unprecedented disaster!"
"Therefore, this time, Gu personally took command and led me and other 3,000 Chang'an soldiers to the front line of disaster resistance, which is bound to block hundreds of millions of locusts in Nanyuan Mansion!"
After listening to Luo Chen's introduction, all the people below were shocked, such a terrifying locust had never heard of it!
"Now, if you want to quit, this palace will not be reluctant, you turn around and go back to Chang'an now, I promise that no one will hold you responsible!"
"However, once tonight passes, if anyone dares to retreat from the battle, then my coiling dragon halberd will definitely cut off his head, and don't blame this king for not caring about the righteousness of his comrades!"
After saying that, everyone's expressions were extremely complicated, but no one wanted to quit!
Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Very good!" ”
"Soldiers, I know that you are full of panic at the moment, and where the locusts have passed, perhaps when we finally die, there will be no bones left!"
"The flesh and blood are eaten clean, and it is difficult to even bury yourself in your hometown!"
"But! Soldiers, you are the most elite soldiers of Great Xia, you are the patron saint of the people, you are the pillar of Great Xia, we advocate glory, but if the country needs us, whether it is famous for thousands of years or for thousands of years, we will stand up! ”
"In the face of the interests of the country, personal gains and losses will not be worth mentioning, Qingshan has the honor to bury the bones of the faithful, why should the horse leather shroud be returned?"
"Although I die, I have no regrets!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Xia!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Xia!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Xia!"
If the soldiers still had three points of fear in their hearts at the beginning, then after listening to Luo Chen's words, coupled with a wild roar, there was no fear in their hearts!
……
Early the next morning, Chang'an City was full of people, and there was a long queue in front of the Easy Commercial Bank!
"We don't sell chickens and ducks, we're here to donate!"
"That's right! We don't have any livestock at home, so I'm here to donate some silver taels! ”
"Little brother, I want to go to the south to fight the disaster and exterminate the locusts, but I don't know the way, can you help me?"
Shen Wansan looked at the crowd of people below with black pressure, some holding chickens and ducks in their hands, some carrying money bags, and some with bare hands, but they still had a lot of blood!
"How many have been raised?"
The little guy in charge of statistics on the side hurriedly said: "There are already 5,000 chickens and more than 3,700 ducks!" ”
"Send more people and set up acquisition points in various markets in Chang'an City!"
"Yes!"
The little guy next to him nodded hurriedly, and Shen Wansan spoke again: "Let our caravan stop all the tasks at hand and wait for deployment at any time!" ”
"Yes!"
"Stand down!"
Shen Wansan waved his hand, with a worried face!
"Boss Shen!"
Suddenly, an old man with a yellow face and thin muscles squeezed forward, walked in front of Shen Wansan, carried a chicken and said, "Boss Shen, can this chicken really kill locusts?" ”
Shen Wansan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, this chicken can eat at least hundreds of locusts a day!" ”
"Really?"
"Of course, uncle, if you want to sell chickens, I'm afraid you'll have to queue up for a while!"
The old man's face was stunned, and he quickly shook his head and said softly: "I don't sell it!" ”
Shen Wansan's expression froze, his face gradually became cold, he smiled slightly, and his eyes swept away!
"Boss Shen, I want to donate this chicken, I don't want money, I don't want anything......"
The old man seemed to be a little restrained when he spoke, holding the chicken with one hand and the corner of his clothes with the other, as if he was afraid that the wealthy Boss Shen would not look down on his chicken!
