Hizen country suffered a once-in-a-decade locust plague, and the later generations were relatively simple to exterminate locusts, spraying a large number of insecticides to kill most of the locusts, but in ancient times, locust extermination was a big thing, and if there was no government leadership, it would inevitably evolve into a complete disaster.

In ancient times, it was a joke to completely exterminate locusts.

The whole process of exterminating locusts is divided into two stages, the first stage is mainly locust extermination and locust control, according to Zhen Qian's original assumption, if Fujiwara Shuo fully supports, Hizen Province should be able to eliminate more than sixty percent of locusts before the outbreak of locust plague, and then the most important stage of locust eradication work: disaster relief and reconstruction.

Disaster relief and reconstruction is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, and it requires the support of not only the government but also the entire society.

People are selfish, and no one wants to take out their own things to help others in vain, even today, more than a thousand years later, not everyone is willing to help others.

Natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters, and Fujiwara is unwilling to offend grain merchants for food, so he can only make the people suffer.

In the matter of exterminating locusts, Fujiwara Shuo also expressed jealousy and worry about Zhen Qian, distrusting the so-called locust extermination plan from the bottom of his heart, and even more unwilling to let Zhen Qian take the lead in the extermination of locusts.

When Fujiwara Shuxiong was reminded by Kibi Zhenbei, he reluctantly let Zhen Qian preside over the locust extermination and disaster relief, but sent people to monitor Zhen Qian, and when he found that there were great benefits in the disaster relief process, he did not hesitate to kick Zhen Qian away, and only let Zhen Qian be responsible for providing relief food.

Zhen Qian did not have the slightest complaint about this, and returned to Saga Town to raise nearly 200,000 stone of relief food for Fujiwara Shuxiong.

If Fujiwara Shuxiong wants to get this batch of relief food, he naturally can't empty the gloves of the white wolf, Zhen Qian easily got the most famous Saga gold mine from Fujiwara Shuxiong, which is a valley more than ten miles long and about one mile wide, located between Saga and Nagasaki Town, the depth of the gold mine is very shallow, and the output is more than ten times that of the Fengmingshan gold mine in Zhen Qian's hand.

From the perspective of later generations, the gold reserves of the Wa Kingdom are not rich, and the gold reserves only account for one-twentieth of the world, but the gold mines of the Wa Kingdom have a characteristic that makes everyone crazy, that is, most of the gold mines are not very deep underground, and some are still open-pit mines.

Fujiwara Shuxiong really can't get anything in his hand that can make Zhen Qian's heart move, fortunately, Zhen Qian is not interested in things outside the mine, in Fujiwara Shuxiong's opinion, Zhen Qian can't move the gold mine back to Datang, saying that it is for Zhen Qian, in fact, he is just asking Zhen Qian to help him open the mine, and the two sides hit it off.

The Saga Town Gold Mine can produce at least tens of thousands of taels of gold a year, which is enough to buy hundreds of thousands of grains in Datang, and the two of them have their own calculations in their hearts, Fujiwara Shuxiong got 200,000 stone relief grain without spending a penny, and Zhen Qian also had to contribute money and efforts to help him build a gold mine in Hizen Country, this business is too cost-effective.

Before the locust plague, under the deliberate guidance of Zhen Qian, Saga Town exterminated a large number of locusts in Saga Town by exchanging locusts for food, and only Saga Town lost the least in the locust plague in the entire Hizen country.

However, the entire Hizen country was devastated by the disaster, and how could Saga Town be left alone, and the ransacking of the victims turned Saga Town, which was already good, into white land almost overnight, and tens of thousands of Saga Town people became destitute.

If the locust plague was unpredictable before the plague, then after the locust plague is a human tragedy.

It is not terrible to be affected by disasters, but it is terrible to not be able to provide timely relief.

Because of the production of a lot of relief grain, Fujiwara Shuxiong and under the secret promotion of Zhen Qian, bought a lot of mountains, forests, lakes and mines, a large number of victims in order to get a mouthful of food, did not hesitate to enter the dark mines to mine, plus Zhen Qian took the lead in taking out a sum of money to fund the victims, Fujiwara Shuxiong also followed to give each Hizen country disaster victims a loan of 500 wen, and distributed a lot of seeds, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation of erosion in Hizen country.

However, the surrounding Rei country did not have such a good treatment, and a large number of surrounding disaster victims poured into the Hizen country, and Fujiwara Brush was a little repulsive to these victims at first, and blocked the victims from entering the Hizen country on the border.

Zhen Qian sent a letter to Fujiwara Shuxiong, saying that these victims were not harmful to Hizen Province, and that they should take advantage of the year of the catastrophe to collect the victims, and even said that he would settle 50,000 victims in Saga Town.

Since Zhen Qian was willing to take in these victims, Kibi Zhenbei waved his hand and nearly 100,000 victims were taken in, some of them were placed on the abandoned land, and the rest were sent to Zhen Qian for resettlement under the supervision of the government.

After getting these victims, Zhen Qian quickly began the post-disaster reconstruction, relying on the mountains and water, there is no shortage of mountains and forests around Saga Town, there is no shortage of sea and lakes, although there is a shortage of food on the surface, but before the winter comes, there is no problem in planting some vegetables, collecting some mountain goods and catching some fish and shrimp.

Fortunately, the people's requirements in this year are really not high, the family is crowded in a thatched hut of a few square meters, and a few pieces of relief food a day can survive, for Zhen Qian, who has been prepared for a long time, this is not a problem at all.

Fujiwara Shuxiong seems to have forgotten Zhen Qian in Saga Town, Zhen Qian is not angry, hiding in Saga Town to enjoy leisure, and the affairs of the outside world seem to have nothing to do with him.

There is a small island with strange rocks in the Wufeng Islands, and the small island is surrounded by dense reefs and turbulence, and fishermen used to call this place the island Ghost Sorrow Island, once you strayed into it, you will be in a dilemma of life and death and cannot leave this island. That is, after the daily low tide, a waterway to the outside world will appear, but this waterway is isolated by mountain streams, and if you want to escape through this waterway, you will become a fish.

In the depths of this small island, there is a very spacious underwater cave, only the low tide can be discovered, until after Zhen Qian controlled the Wufeng Islands, he let people build a prison on this island, and now there is a prisoner in this prison is hanging in the middle, to be precise, the only prisoner, this prisoner's whole body is chained, and his limbs are pulled outward by iron chains, just like a humanoid "big" character.

"Who the hell are you, let me out!"

"Anyone? I know there are people out there who tell your leaders that I am willing to trade gold for free ....... ”

The man who was hung in the air had already a hoarse voice, his hair was scattered and covered most of his face, and he looked a little haggard, but his spirit was not bad, at least he still had the strength to shout!
