Chapter 300 This king is willing to exchange 200 catties of meat for a scorching sun and severe drought!

He came all the way to the capital just to see how the locust plague ravaged the capital, so as to make up for his psychological balance.

As a result, things are going well now, with strong winds and rain.

Even if he didn’t know about locusts before, he has learned in the past few days that locusts are afraid of water, and even more afraid of rain.

So it’s wind and rain, they will definitely fly~ they won’t be able to pass.

“How did this happen? Why did it suddenly rain?” His heart was a little bit broken-broken.

On the contrary, the common people in the capital are very happy.

“It’s raining well!”

“When it rains, the locusts will not dare to come over!”

“Keep going, don’t stop!”

……

Upstairs in the capital city, the empress and all the civil and military officials saw the drizzle, and showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

“This is a good rain, a timely rain!”

“With this rain, the locust plague will not come for a while, and our crops will be saved!”

“This is God Bless Great Wu, God Bless the court!”

……

The empress looked at all the officials, officers, soldiers, and common people. Everyone had bright smiles on their faces, as if they had escaped a catastrophe.

But at this time, she noticed a person, Lin Beifan.

He was still so calm and calm, neither sad nor happy after seeing the storm.

My heart was moved, and I remembered what Lin Beifan had said, and asked with a smile: “Lin Aiqing, you have been so calm and composed from the beginning to the end, did you expect it?”

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, “Exactly, Your Majesty! I have already said that this plague of locusts will never come!”

Everyone looked sideways, curious how he could see it.

“How did you find out?” The Empress asked everyone’s thoughts.

Lin Beifan smiled and said: “I have said before that since the beginning of the new year, the weather here has been smooth, the rain is abundant, and the air is relatively humid, which is not suitable for locusts to reproduce at all! Locusts like dryness, so they will not come here!”

The empress smiled and nodded: “That makes sense!”

“One more thing, I watched the stars at night and knew that there would be rain today, and locusts are afraid of rain! So, they didn’t dare to cross the border at all!” Lin Beifan laughed.

“Really?” The Empress narrowed her eyes.

She had heard from Bai Guanyin a long time ago that since Lin Beifan became a master, he has acquired all kinds of strange abilities, and this is probably one of his abilities.

Otherwise, how could this rain be so timely?

“Ai Qing, I didn’t expect you to know how to watch the stars at night and know the changes of the weather. You are worthy of my humerus minister! So, can you tell me how long this rain will last, and whether it can completely stop the plague of locusts?” asked again.

Lin Beifan pinched his fingers and said in a spirited voice, “Your Majesty, this rain will last for about three days! The amount of rain is not heavy, just like now, and it will not affect the lives of the people! However, it should be able to completely stop the locust plague!”< /p>

The empress dragon was overjoyed, and said loudly: “Okay! If it really takes three days, I will credit you with credit!”

Outside the capital city, King Jiangnan shook his fat body, wiped the rainwater from his face, looked at the capital city bathed in the drizzle in the distance, and said viciously: “Let’s make you proud for a while! It’s just a light rain , the wind will stop soon, and the rain will stop soon, and then you will cry!”

So, he stayed where he was and waited, hoping that the wind would stop and the rain would stop, and then the locusts would cross the border and wreak havoc on the capital.

In the end, he waited and waited for a stick of incense, but the rain still didn’t stop.

Jiangnan Wang comforted himself: “It doesn’t matter! The rain just came not long ago, it can last a little longer, but it will stop soon! Once the rain stops, it will be time for your capital to suffer disaster!”

He continued to wait and wait. After waiting for an hour, the rain still didn’t stop.

“It’s been an hour, why hasn’t it stopped? But it doesn’t matter, it’s summer now, this kind of rain is generally not long-lasting, and it should stop soon! Just wait, just wait!”

He continued to wait and wait. After waiting for three hours, the rain still didn’t stop.

“Why hasn’t it stopped? When will the rain last?”

Jiangnan Wang looked at the sky with absent-minded eyes, and let the rain drip down his face, so cool.

But in his heart, he was so angry that he wanted to vent but didn’t know how to vent it.

He couldn’t help but think of his Jiangnan.

In the past, it often rained like this in the south of the Yangtze River.

The amount of rain is not large, and the wind is not strong, but it is very persistent.

Under the nourishment of such rainwater, his rice seedlings grow vigorously, and there is a bumper harvest every year.

But this year, there was a terrible drought. There was no drop of water for three months. The riverbed was completely dry, the rice seedlings were all withered, and it even led to a terrible plague of locusts.

If they could have a few rains like this in the south of the Yangtze River, why did he do this?

At this time, it was getting dark gradually, and it was time to go back to eat.

King Jiangnan glanced at the cloudy sky, then at the capital in the distance, and said bitterly: “I don’t believe it, this rain can last all day! Tomorrow, I will come to appreciate your crying expressions.” !”

On the second day, King Jiangnan returned to his original place.

Bathed in the still heavy rain, looking at the capital city whose eyes were like smoke, mist and dust, I was so angry that I was about to cry.

“Why haven’t you stopped yet? When will you go down?”

The officers and soldiers who were responding to the locust plague in the distance have already beaten their drums and retreated, and went back to warm up.

With the rain blocking it, the locusts couldn’t fly over at all.

However, Jiangnan Wang still didn’t give up and continued to consume.

Putting his hands together, he prayed to the sky very devoutly: “God, let this rain stop! This king is willing to use 200 catties of meat on his body in exchange for a scorching sun and severe drought!”

“Clatter”

The rain suddenly became heavy, and it splashed over with a loud splash. Jiangnan Wang was drenched like a drenched rat.

Jiangnan Wang: “…”

Just wait like this. When it got dark, the rain still didn’t stop.

“I don’t believe it anymore, this rain can last for three days! If it doesn’t stop raining, I will write my name upside down!”

On the third day, Jiangnan Wang was bathed in the drizzle and finally collapsed.

He knelt down and kowtowed again and again: “God, please do me a favor, don’t go down anymore! You have given enough, don’t give any more! They are a bunch of bad kids, they don’t deserve your love! Only I am your most beloved cub! If you keep going down, this king’s heart will not be able to bear it anymore, please…”

“Buzzing”

The movements of the locusts became louder.

Jiangnan Wang raised his head in confusion: “What’s the matter?”

I saw this group of densely packed locusts actually turned around, flew towards the west, and quickly disappeared.

Jiangnan Wang was stunned: “Did they fly away? Where are they going?”

In the capital, the empress, civil and military officials, and common people were all excited when they saw the locust plague shifting away.

“The plague of locusts has finally passed!”

“They never crossed the border a step from the beginning to the end, and they didn’t destroy our crops and farmland!”

“There will definitely be a good harvest this year!”

“It was really a good rain, a good rain!”

0 ····························

……

Everyone was very happy, singing and dancing, as if fighting was also a victory.

In fact, for them, a victory was indeed won.

If this plague of locusts does not pass, it will lead to a large reduction in food production and income, causing a series of problems and causing turmoil in the entire country. The damage will be no less than a war.

Empress Longxin rejoiced: “We have finally overcome this once-in-a-century plague of locusts! This year’s grain production will inevitably increase. I have decided to amnesty the world!”

Some tax reduction policies have been introduced so that everyone can pay less food tax.

“Your Majesty is holy!” Everyone was very happy.

“Lin Aiqing, as you said, this rain lasted for three days! It is because of this timely rain that we survived the locust plague safely, and you have made a contribution!” the empress said with a smile.

“Your Majesty, this is God’s will. Heaven blesses His Majesty, God blesses the Great Wu, and a humble minister dare not take credit for it!” Lin Beifan was modest.

“Aiqing is too modest, this is what should be given to you! Without you, we may not have survived the locust plague safely and won this food defense battle!” the empress said meaningfully.

…. … …

The empress rewarded a series of good things, and all the officials were jealous when they saw it.

“Your Majesty, we have also put in a lot of hard work. You can’t just reward Lord Lin!”

“You have to think about us!”

“It’s not easy for us veterans!”

……

Seeing all the officials waiting to be fed, the empress was very generous: “I have them all! Everyone will be rewarded with 100 taels, thank the Lord for your grace!”

Civil and military officials: “…”

At this time, the news that the Great Wu court survived the locust plague quickly spread throughout the world, catching everyone’s attention.

“The court of the Great Wu Dynasty survived the plague of locusts so quickly? How did it survive?”

“It turned out to be a drizzle that fell for three consecutive days!”

“Heavenly Judgment Great Wu Court, damn good luck!”

“If there hadn’t been this timely rain, the capital would definitely have fallen into chaos. I hate it!”

……

The land of northern Hebei, the palace.

The king of Jibei was very unhappy. He originally thought that this locust plague would bring the greatest disaster to the court, so that he could profit from it.

In the end, it was a false alarm, and nothing happened. He wasted his feelings in vain, and was depressed for two days.

Military Mr. Zhuge persuaded: “Your Majesty, the imperial court is indeed lucky, but such good things don’t happen often! You need to be strong to make iron. We have an army of tens of thousands of warriors. Why worry about the great cause?”

“Military division, what you said is very true!” King Jibei nodded.

The land of Wuxi, the palace.

King Wuxi was equally depressed.

I thought that this plague of locusts would cause trouble for the court and cause them to lose some food, but it turned out that there was no threat at all.

He’s emotionally in place, he’s just short of an orgasm, but let me watch this?

A single rain extinguished this enthusiasm, did you intend to play tricks?

Mr. Feng Chu, the military adviser, persuaded: “My lord, the imperial court can only be said to be lucky for a while, but this luck will not last long! We are now strong and strong, and we will only wait until after the autumn harvest to raise troops and go straight to the capital!”

King Wuxi nodded: “What the military adviser said is absolutely true! Protect our food well, and respond to all changes without change! After the autumn harvest, it will be time for us to set the Central Plains!”

“My lord is right!” Mr. Feng Chu stroked his beard and smiled.

Just then, a person hurried in.

“My lord is not well, the plague of locusts is flying towards Wuxi!”

King Wuxi turned pale with shock: “What?” Bu.
