For insects for food?

This is probably the most ridiculous thing at the moment, but it’s hard to hold up the notices not only by the governor’s government office, but also by the county government offices and the villagers.

It seems that ten catties of insects can only be replaced by half a catty of food. It can be replaced by the fact that many people now only eat wild grass and eat bark. Half a catty of food is used to cook gruel.

Of course, more of it is unbelief, but some people believe it, and they have dragged their puffy body to catch insects in the field. Half-sacks of insects have replaced small and half-bags of food. Only adults have a lot of food, but they have to exchange it. The grain man was crying sobbingly.

Finally there is food, and the elderly and children at home finally have a way out.It doesn't matter if there is less food, as long as the insects can be replaced, that is hope.

After that, people no longer preached, and people rushed to the farmland and countryside.Not only the villagers, but also many people in the city dragged their families to the village, just to catch insects for food.

All of a sudden, the people of the city stopped unprecedentedly.

Earlier, there was a rumor in the city every day, and the government sent people to catch it. It seems that people in the famine years are particularly easy to listen to all kinds of rumors. After the drought, there will be snow disasters this year, and God has made up his mind not to let people live. All sentient beings are guilty, and it is necessary to believe in XX God in order to redeem sin.

However, people have conformity, and people naturally follow the cloud, causing people to panic. People are not productive. They only know how to spend their lives. Especially in the countryside, there are often violent incidents. These are the introductions that easily cause civil chaos.

Nowadays, everything is done, and they are busy catching insects for food, who cares about it.

In the governor's office, Zhou Hui was almost distressed, and he saw that there was less and less grain left on the account books. On the contrary, the people who changed to grain outside were happy and smiling.

After so many days passed, people couldn't help but speculate that this was the disaster relief mission that brought the relief food, and if it wasn't as much as any insects for food.

Until now, many people still don't understand the purpose of this decree.Hu Demao and others knew some shadows, but only knew one thing but not the other.

This is not because Zhou Hui has sought the King of Wei more than once because of the declining amount of retained food. Unfortunately, King Wei did not take care of him.

Of course, on the surface, this will definitely not be the case. It will only say that King Wei’s affairs are busy, and indeed they are not.In the past few days, King Wei asked the following people to prepare a lot of lists. They are holding the lists and visiting them one by one, just to persuade them to donate.

Unfortunately, no progress has been made.

"Is this old man intentionally?"

After getting in the car, Dewang couldn't help but scolded.

Everyone knows that the other party did it on purpose, but unfortunately they didn't get the handle and they didn't admit it, so they just suffocated.

This is not the first time. Since coming to Taiyuan, King Wei has visited several local wealthy households. The family is more difficult than the family. I don’t know if they were instructed by anyone or what, and they didn’t insist on you. Here, I only found the old people of that ethnic group who came to cry and cry.

If we add generosity to the government house last year, it’s a pity that we haven’t seen the government house pay back the debts, so that the family and the children are all famine, so that the face of King Wei is thicker than the city wall, so I’m embarrassed to persuade Donated, you can only run away.

"His Royal Highness, the minions thought that if they could persuade the donation, I am afraid that those people would already take credit for themselves, and it would not be possible to let them go and wait for you."

In fact, these kings of Wei also have some ideas in mind, but this is not the reason why he did not go to the door. There was no progress in the relief work. If the door is closed all day, just wait for the sky to fall, I am afraid there is no need to wait for him to return to Beijing. How the Wei King's misconduct spreads throughout the capital.

His good brothers are waiting to catch his mistakes. Now it seems to be calm and calm. Hu Demao and others are also cooperating with him. In fact, there are more than one or two people who are secretly looking for him in the machine pit. Know the truth.

But knowing what he can do, he can only act with care and do everything step by step.

"Go back and talk."

Back at the governor's office, Wei Wang just entered, and Zhou Hui was found.

The lawsuit in his face, without knowing the king of Wei, knew why he came here.

"Admiral, you see..."

Zhou Hui held the account book in his hand, accompanied with a smiley face, and didn't wait for him to put up the shelf. Wei King raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Ben King knows your intentions and will get a batch of food in a few days. It will be better to support this period of time."

These words directly suffocated what Zhou Hui wanted to say, and he did not expect that the news that Wei King would suddenly let go of the grain, and his expression was strange for a while, as if he had been choked by something, and he only slowed down after a while. Jiner.

"It's so good, everyone is worried about this, but I don't know where this batch of food came from, and how much is it?"

Zhou Hui originally said this with a smile, but in Wang Wei's meaningful eyes, the voice gradually disappeared.I do not know whether it was out of guilty conscience or why, the smile on his face became more and more rigid, and his heart was angry and annoyed.

Not only did Qi Wei not give him a face, but he was guilty about whether Wei Wei doubted that he deliberately inquired about the news.At this sensitive time, the role of food is greater than the sky. Now that the food has not arrived, if the news leaks from him, if there is any trouble, is it the king of Wei or his?

In fact, this is indeed the case. After King Wei arrived in Shanxi, he did not borrow food from other provinces in the name of a mission. Not to mention that the provinces around Shanxi had various disasters. Everyone’s life was not good in the past two years. No fault can be picked out.

Where did King Wei borrow the grain?

Until Zhou Hui left, this question still lurked in his mind and was not answered.

King Wei did not conceal the news, and soon the news of'Qinchao borrowed a batch of food' was spread in the governor's office.

But only in the governor's office, and a limited number of people know, as to where the food comes from and how much it is, no one still knows.

The exchange of insects for food is still proceeding in an orderly manner. With the encouragement of these two things, several counties staying in Taiyuan City have returned to their respective autonomy and presided over the overall situation of the county.

In addition to supervising the exchange of food, they must also guard against local civil unrest and epidemics.Epidemic diseases always follow disasters. For this reason, the prefectures and counties have specially formulated regulations for the prevention of epidemic diseases.

Such as limited water sources need special guards, people suffering from epidemics need to be isolated, can not drink raw water, need to boil to drink, can not drown anywhere, need to dig earth to bury and so on.

Everywhere is strictly guarded against death, even though individual villagers have contracted the disease, it has not spread.It is a pity that the epidemic was prevented, and another incident occurred, causing the death toll in various places to rise.

The dead person has a characteristic, that is, his body is swollen.

It was obviously a disaster year, and everyone could not eat enough, but there was a class of people who were as fat as they were when they were all thin and thin.

Some young people do not understand. If there are old farmers who have experienced more than one disaster, they will know that they are generally as thin as wood and saved. It is precisely this kind of people who have not been saved.

They don't know one character, and they can't tell what is wrong. They only know that people are extremely hungry, their bodies start to break down, they will be swollen and die quickly.

Because of the large-scale outbreak of this edema disease, it caused a chaos in relatively quiet areas.For several days, there were small-scale civil disturbances in various states and counties, which made He Longcheng even hungry for such secret condemnation, and kung fu was in chaos, so he should not give food and starve to death.

Naturally, these words will not be put on the bright side, but who actually does not understand this truth, why Hu Demao Zhou Hui and others have been holding down the last batch of grain, partly because of this.

It’s enough to be hungry all the time. The most frightening thing is to hang it with a small amount of food. It can’t solve the problem at all, and it also hangs those hungry people.Again, the official is not afraid of ruling the dead, especially the victims of death, and the most fearful thing is to provoke a civil change.

Of course, in fact, this edema disease is not treatable without medicine, and it does not need medicine to cure. As long as there is food, as long as it can be fed with nutritious things, it will gradually get better.

It is precisely this simplest, which has now become a big problem.

...

"This method is really useful?"

King Wei frowned and looked at the dustpan in front of him. There were many brown-black powder-like objects in the dustpan, which were not crushed very carefully. If you look carefully, you will find that there are many strange'objects' inside.

A pan was placed next to the dustpan, and several brown-black nest heads were placed in the pan. The nest head was made of the worst sorghum noodles at a glance, and may be mixed with other things, but it was not visible to the naked eye. Out.

De Wang rushed to pick up a nest head from the plate before Wei Wang reached out his hand.

When you are a servant, you must have the cognition to die in front of the master.So De Wangming was horrified, and still smiled and broke a small piece from Wowo's head.

"Master, how can you taste this pickle, or a minion."

Don't look at what he said well, the hesitant action of sending it to his mouth is enough to explain Dewan's inner entanglement.

It wasn’t Dewan’s hypocrisy, but even if he was an eunuch, he had eaten a lot of hardships before he entered the palace when he was a child, and had never eaten bugs.

Especially the locust, or the nest made of locusts.

In the past, De Wang also thought that Shu Yongtai's little old man was also a personal talent. Since he was fighting against Wei Wang, he suggested that the Laozizi should be released as relief food, and the other party completely changed the image in his eyes.In particular, Shu Yongtai said that he must have "experience", which made Dewan look at him strangely.

Between the strong laughs and entanglements, Dewan had already fed things into his mouth.

In fact, after eating into the mouth, I know that it is not so difficult to import. It is a sure thing to pull the throat and dry and bitter, because the content of sorghum noodles is not much except for the dry powder of insects, but it is also mixed with sorghum shells and rods. , Bran, etc.

I have to say that Shu Yongtai and others played a major role in following the trip of King Wei, especially the older masters headed by Shu Yongtai, Wang Liangcheng, etc., they may not be so good-looking, or even not outstanding in their knowledge, but they The experience is invaluable.

Just like this improvement of Wowotou, it was the brainstorming of their group.It can save food to the greatest extent possible while keeping the hungry people alive, and avoid edema.

Before waiting for Dewan to give a conclusion after eating it, King Wei had reached out and picked one, and in the eyes of everyone surprised, broke a piece and fed it into his mouth.

"Your Highness..."

"Victims can eat, and this king can naturally eat it." Saying this expression lightly, King Wei said again: "It can be imported, but if it is left for a few days, it will be difficult to get down."

In the past two days, Shu Yongtai and others have eaten a lot of these wow heads, in order to better adjust the proportion of ingredients inside.At this time, hearing the words of King Wei, it is natural to understand its meaning.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, this thing can be kept for half a month without damage. If it is too hard, it can be relieved by soaking it in water. In this way, it can also avoid the trouble of victims seeking water and fire. In fact, in the place where the subordinates were, there were also victims who were too hungry to eat insects. Most of the victims who had eaten insects afterwards had not suffered from edema. They asked the doctor afterwards. This is the long-term lack of meat nutrition. Although the bugs are small, they are also meat. Now this improved nest can not only relieve hunger, but also provide nutrition for the hungry people. The subordinates feel that it can be implemented."

Speaking of it, it is still people's own habits, and people are the first of all spirits, unless someone is forced to eat insects.At the beginning, King Wei did not have the urge to encourage the hungry people to catch insects to fill their hunger. It can be seen that so many hungry people caught insects in exchange for food, and no one left to eat by themselves.

Coupled with the terrifying world of eating insects, he came with a lot of difficulties this time. He secretly wanted to deal with more than one or two people. If there is news that the court has no food to let the hungry people eat insects, I am afraid that no one will secretly instigate. Enough to shake the current situation.

By that time, people's hearts had lost hope, and the hungry riots were only a moment away, and his trip to disaster relief would fall short of success.

That's why I thought that this method would not only save food but also settle the hungry people, but also consume a lot of locusts sent for food for insects.

Only when the news could not be leaked, would King Wei cleverly set up a project to receive all the relief food, and then made this improved nest.

In fact, he borrowed food, but a lot of bran mixed with a small amount of food.

This is an empty city plan.
