Chapter 450: Du Wan learned to hide


    Chapter 450 Du Wan learned to hide


    Zhuang Cong was shocked by the news of the locust gue. The locust gue in his memory was very terrifying, leaving nothing behind in the crops wherever it passed.


    Du Wan mentioned a few things that should be paid attention to, especially vegetables grown in greenhouses, which must be well protected and sealed without any gaps. If you cant do that, just harvest them all.


    This is not difficult, my subordinates will keep an eye on it. Zhuang Cong thought of poultry and livestock, Its the cowshed and the sheepfold


    "These are nothing. Don''t kill chickens and ducks. If locusts reallye, drive them into the fields. They eat bugs and eggs, including locusts."


    The two discussed for a while, and Zhuang Cong kept the key points in mind. Then he took Du Wan''s token and left the city overnight, not caring about the dark journey.


    Because of the locust gue, I''m afraid I won''t be able to go hunting during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It''s hard to say when the locusts will arrive, but it will only be in the next few days, otherwise the situation will not be so urgent.


    If you encounter a locust gue while camping in the countryside, the sight of locusts covering the sky and the sun would be too scary to imagine.


    Just as Du Wan thought, the next day, news of the locust gue spread and the price of food soared. The government stepped in to suppress grain vendors, imprisoning those who drove up prices and fined themrge sums of money.


    The court had no way to control locusts, so it could only ask the people to harvest all edible crops in advance, and then do other preventive work to minimize losses.


    At the same time, the emperor issued an imperial edict that areas affected by locust gues would be exempted from taxes for one year. As soon as the tax-free policy came out, the local people''s favor towards the emperor gradually increased, and they were grateful for his kindness.


    Zhuangzi in various ces in the Princess Mansion immediately started various preventive measures.


    Du Wan personally went to the farm and found that Zhuang Cong had done things properly, so he didn''t say much. However, there were many chickens, ducks and geese in the vige, which surprised her. After the locusts passed, these poultry might be fatter.


    Du Wan then returned to the n.


    As soon as I got back, I saw a lot of people in the fields, all rushing to harvest crops.


    Some people have already harvested more than half of their crops.


    Some vigers were lucky, saying that the locust gue might note, and maybe the locusts would take a detour. Usually the path taken by the locust can only be predicted in a general direction, and it is possible that it will suddenly change direction. As a result, the man was severely criticized by the old patriarch. He was scolded so hard that he didn''t even dare to raise his head, so he went to work.


    Du Wan happily watched the whole process.


    After walking around for a while, Du Wan unexpectedly learned that the n had learned about the locust gue in advance and had been making preparations two days earlier.


    Du Qian was called back to his n for this reason.


    Compared with the crops in the fields, the n obviously pays more attention to personal safety.


    The house is reinforced and the windows are sealed.


    Du Qian also asked people to notify the fiefdoms and quickly take precautions in advance to harvest crops. From this matter alone, Du Wan could see Du Qian''s different treatment. He kept an eye on the affairs of Dujiazhuang and went from house to house to inform them. When it came to another vige, he only sent one person to inform the vige chief.


    Du Wan asked: "Brother, aren''t you afraid of those viges who are doing good things but not doing good things?"


    "Their lives are their own. I don''t care about them, so I don''t care." Du Qian didn''t care much about this.


    Have someone go and notify him, he has already fulfilled his responsibility.


    Du Wan epted Du Qian''s words easily and stopped paying attention to the affairs of other viges.


    Hunting is canceled on the Mid-Autumn Festival.


    Originally, the family was nning a grand banquet for the little one''s full moon party, but now it has to be kept simple.


    Some time ago, the drought in various ces has not fully recovered, and there is a locust gue. Even the capital is panicking, and it is really not suitable to hold a big banquet. I will add a dish to everyone on the same day to add to the celebration.


    Previously, the government said that the locust gue woulde. However, a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people were lucky andined, using the government of being indifferent and destroying good crops.


    Unexpectedly, at noon on thest day of mid-August, locusts came flying in to cover up the sun. They first appeared as a small ck spot on the horizon, then gradually turned into arge ck spot, and then gradually blocked out all the sunlight.


    Everyone outside the house hurriedly hid in the house and closed the doors and windows. Du Wan was at home that day.


    Most of the locusts were outside the city, and only a few entered the city.


    Du Wan immediately ran to the main courtyard and saw the eldest princess holding her infant brother. She was a little panicked and said, "Wan Wan, you are here, are you hurt?"


    Mom, Im fine. Du Wan looked around.


    Du Prince Consort Shang went to the Yamen in the morning, while Du Qian was still in the n.


    Hearing the noise outside, the eldest princess panicked, "Wanwan! Wanwan, please send someone to pick up your father quickly. He returns home from the Yamen at this time every day, and he may be stuck on the way..."


    Halfway through speaking, the eldest princesss voice was trembling.


    When a person is riding in a carriage and suddenly encounters a dense swarm of locusts, it is easy for something to happen.


    Du Wan also thought of what the eldest princess thought of, "Mom, I''ll go there myself. Please close the doors and windows and don''t go out."


    No, let the guards go the eldest princess refused without even thinking.


    Mother has forgotten, I am very powerful.


    She had forgotten.


    Who makes her daughter smile and feel soft every day? The eldest princess often forgets that her daughter is very powerful and does not need to worry about her as a mother. Her daughter has this kind of ability. Although she is very strong, people often forget her. He could be very reliable at critical moments, so the eldest princess did not stop Du Wan from going out.


    Du Wan pulled on a cloak before going out.


    With the cover of a cloak, it can block most of the swarming locusts.


    The guards all hid in the room. Du Wan went out without calling them.


    It is more convenient for her to move alone than to take them with her.


    Du Wan wears a big cloak, pulls up the hood to cover her head, and then uses her long sleeves to cover her face.


    In fact, she doesn''t need to do this. As long as she activates her technique, a spiritual shield will be formed on her body, and the locusts flying towards her will be blocked by the spiritual shield.


    As long as she is willing, the locusts will be killed instantly.


    Du Wan doesnt want to be too special.


    The more you practice, the more you learn to hide.


    Du Wan used Qinggong and headed towards the Yamen. While rushing, she paid attention to the movement in front of her and looked for traces of Du''s consort.


    There were pedestrians on the street, and there were quite a few horse-drawn carriages before noon.


    Encountering locusts all over the sky, everyone rushed back to their hometowns and got stuck in the middle of the road.


    The officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Department were trying to maintain order despite the locusts attacking them, but with little effect. The reason is still in this section of the road. People who can afford to ride a carriage are either rich or noble.


    Du Prince Consort''s carriage was blocked in the middle.


    When Du Wan found him, Du''s consort had already got off the carriage.


    Du Consort saw a man wearing a cloak approaching.


    The guard was about to step forward to stop him, but Prince Consort Du stopped him and shouted tentatively: "Wanwan? Is that you?"


    "Dad! It''s me!" Du Wan said, "Mom asked me to take you back to your home."
