Rome was not built in a day, and the ducks did not completely destroy the locusts in a day before they were destroyed.
No matter how much the duck can be eaten, the amount of food is limited.
And the number of locusts is just too many.
At best, this group of ducks wiped out a small half of the locusts.
There were also locusts that flew over the ducks and towards the territory of Dahua.
At this time, the ducks had just eaten and were satisfied, burping, and lying on the ground to rest.
They didn't bother to pay attention to the locusts flying over their heads.
There are still too many locusts left, and if these locusts fly into the territory of Dahua and into the people's crops, then the people's crops will be devoured, and the crops in the fields will be harvested.
Fortunately, Lu Bu had been prepared for this situation, and the ducks were just the first line of defense.
There's a second line of defense In the second line of defense, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to form a large net, and these large nets were so dense that even grasshoppers should not think of getting through.
Rows of soldiers, spreading their nets, waited for the locusts to throw themselves into their nets.
These nets are 100 meters in pieces, and a net is at least two zhang high, and they are carried with bamboo poles.
At such an altitude, it is difficult for locusts to fly past.
I don't know how many large nets have blocked the progress of the locusts.
Seeing that it was almost over, an officer ordered the soldiers to begin collecting the nets.
Using a 100-meter net as a group, the soldiers quickly closed the net.
Suddenly, a large bag of grasshoppers fell into the net.
This large bag of grasshoppers is not light, and it takes several soldiers to carry it.
These soldiers, carrying grasshoppers, walked in the direction of the iron pot prepared in advance.
If these soldiers were to dispose of these grasshoppers, they would definitely be burned to death.
But the emperor has ordered it, grasshoppers are delicious, and it's a pity to burn them.
Therefore, they were ordered to dispose of these grasshoppers and bring them back.
These soldiers were a little unimpressed by the emperor's orders.
Grasshoppers have something delicious about this, and there are children at home, and they will occasionally catch them and burn them to eat.
Adults have never disdained to eat grasshoppers.
However, since the emperor said that it was delicious, and the emperor asked them to deal with the grasshoppers they caught, they could only follow the emperor's opinion.
They set up a large iron pot, added half a pot of water to the pot, and then began to boil water.
Once the water was boiling, the soldiers began to put the grasshoppers in pots in batches and simmer for a few minutes.
Soon, an enticing scent spreads.
The soldiers smelled the fragrance and salivated with their mouths.
The incense is really fragrant Could it be that what the emperor said is true?
These grasshoppers are really delicious It's really delicious Well, after processing this batch of grasshoppers, you must fry a pot to taste the taste.
The boiled grasshoppers are fished up, the wings and legs are removed, and then they are dried to dry.
According to the emperor's instructions, the grasshoppers that are dried in this way can be pickled.
After marinating, it is said to be delicious.
It took two days of busy work to finish all the grasshoppers, and now we are waiting for the grasshoppers to dry.
Dried grasshoppers can be stored for a longer time, but this time should not be too long, or it should be stored for a longer time after pickling.
The second line of defense cannot stop all grasshoppers, and there will still be fish that slip through the net.
But it doesn't matter, they also have a third line of defense.
The third line of defense is three miles long.
This line of defense, and the last line of defense, is also the last line of defense.
This line of defense was covered with hay and firewood.
When the locusts flew into the area and were about to fly out of the area, the soldiers began to set fire to the upwind port.
The fire borrowed the wind, and the fire soon burned violently.
The locusts in this area were soon mercilessly consumed by the fire.

After a while, a smell of burnt meat spreads.
When the flames were extinguished, all the locusts in the area were gone.
There must still be fish that have slipped through the net, and it is impossible for all locusts to fly into this area.
However, the number of fish that have slipped through the net must be pitifully small, and it is impossible to pose a big threat at all, so it can be completely ignored.
A few days later, a large number of treated locusts were transported to the city of Nanjing.
There are so many locusts, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of catties Seeing so many locusts, Lu Bu couldn't help but salivate.
Haha, it's time for a locust feast At that moment, Lu Bu left a few thousand catties of locusts and prepared to open a locust banquet in the palace.
As for the rest, Lu Bu ordered people to pickle them all and make them into pickles.
Pickles pickled with locusts taste particularly good, especially in winter, and are definitely a rare delicacy when taken out.
However, with so many locust pickles, I guess I can't eat them.
Even if it is distributed to the ministers, they will not be able to eat so much for a while.
If you can't eat it, you can simply sell it overseas and earn foreign exchange A day later, a locust feast was held in the palace.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, but there was no joy on the faces of the hundred officials, and their faces were strange.
Because the background of the hundred officials is basically good, there are few people who have eaten locusts.
In their opinion, such an ugly thing can also be eaten If it weren't for the emperor's banquet, they wouldn't have come to the death.
The emperor is invited to a banquet, who dares not to come But here it is, almost all the ministers have a bitter face Soon, the civil and military officials sat down according to their ranks.
After a while, the emperor and the queen came over together.
The hundred officials immediately greeted the emperor and the queen.
Lu Bu waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Zhong Aiqing, today there was a locust plague in my Dahua Dynasty, but fortunately, the officials and people of my Dahua Dynasty worked together to completely eliminate the locusts and did not bring a painful disaster to the people. ” "And I ordered the soldiers to catch a large number of locusts, these locusts are harmful to the people, and even if they die, they cannot be eliminated, so I summoned my ministers to hold a locust feast, even if they die, they will be punished, and we must eat them."
Lu Bu's words, the ministers looked at each other.
The emperor is really tall, isn't it just a locust feast, the emperor actually raised it to the height of the national economy and people's livelihood.
Originally, there were many ministers, and even if people came, they didn't plan to eat locusts.
But now that the emperor has so much, eating locusts is curing the sin of locusts.
If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be too much to give the emperor a child If you don't eat it, you won't be in the same stream as the locusts?
It seems that they must eat this locust feast.
Suddenly, the faces of many ministers became even more sad.
Seeing the faces of the ministers, Lu Bu secretly laughed in his heart.
"Why, why is the face of all Aiqing so ugly, do all Aiqing have an opinion on the locust feast":
