When the villagers heard the sound of gongs and drums, they knew that there must be another big event in Lizheng, and they were going to gather everyone to say, so if the villagers were doing something, they all put down their work and walked to the ancestral hall in the village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the gongs and drums sounded for a quarter of an hour, the villagers basically came, and the few who didn't arrive were on their way to come. As soon as there are many people, the ancestral hall is more noisy, and the villagers are discussing whether it is because of the locust matter, so they gathered here, after all, no one in the village knows about the locust now. It didn't take long for everyone to arrive, and Li Zheng cleared his throat and quieted everyone down.

As soon as they heard that Li was about to speak, they all fell silent.

"I believe everyone has seen the locusts in the field, and I am talking about this when I gathered everyone today. The patriarch and I both asked the village's good farmers for their opinions, and we all agreed that the locusts that appeared in the fields this time might turn into locust plagues, so we now inform everyone that the crops in the fields should be recovered in time. Li Zheng told the villagers the results of the discussion he had just discussed with the patriarch.

As soon as Li Zheng's words came out, the villagers below began to discuss again, and some people disagreed, thinking that it was just a few locusts, how could it cause a locust plague, and the current rice was not fully ripe, if it was harvested now, it would not have to reduce the yield a lot. Some people agree, after all, these good farmers have experienced many locust plagues, and they can see that this locust is not serious, and they can't understand this, and now they are notified like this, so these people have also decided to prepare for the autumn harvest when they go back.

"The current situation is that the locust plague may be very serious, I hope you all have to pay attention to it, so that when the locust plague appears, there will be no harvest, and the hungry ones will be your own belly at that time." Li Zheng also heard the disapproving voices below, so he reminded loudly that these villagers are all from the same clan, if there is really a locust plague, and someone does not listen, they will have to help at that time, but even if they help, they can't help much, so Li Zheng tried his best to persuade everyone, so that everyone could pay attention to this matter.

"When I go back, I will prepare all the tools for the autumn harvest, and tomorrow I will harvest the rice in the field first." A villager who agrees that locusts will cause a plague said.

"Well, so am I, put down everything else at home, and the whole family will put away the rice first." Another villager who agreed.

"Now the pulp of the rice has not dried, if the rice is harvested in advance, when it has to be dried, the yield will not be less than half." There are disapprovals here, he still wants to wait a few more days, after all, there are only a few locusts now, and in a few days, the pulp of the rice will be almost dry, and then the harvest will not be too bad.

"Yes, the rice has only been pulping for a long time, if you harvest it now, it will have to be much less yield, don't the locusts didn't come, but because of the early autumn harvest, the yield was reduced, so wouldn't it be more difficult to have a bad day." His family also has a large population, and all of them are counting on the fields, and after paying taxes, the crops produced in the fields are only enough to satisfy their stomachs, and if the production is reduced, then the family will not all have to go hungry.

"Can so many good farmers be mistaken, people have seen a lot of locust plagues, and it will not be wrong to believe them." When you see something that disagrees, those who agree speak up.

"Yes, they will definitely not be mistaken, those locust plagues, you have also experienced them, how terrible they are, you don't know, don't come when the locusts come, there is no harvest, then you are depressed." This person is also relatively old, so he would rather believe such a thing as a locust plague.

"I still believe in the eyes of a few of them, after all, they have basically never looked away." A villager looked at a few good farmers standing on it.

"Well, tomorrow I will let my baby not go to school first, and then go back when the crops are recovered." After all, going to school is just to know a few words, which is far less important than the autumn harvest, and the baby is so big, you can help harvest rice.

"I also asked my dog baby not to go to school tomorrow, and I will go back when I take back all the grain." This villager's school-going baby is already ten years old, and the baby of this age, during the autumn harvest, is used as half of the labor, and the locust plague is a very serious matter, and this half of the labor must also be used.

"Yes, my two babies are in school, let them all help with the autumn harvest tomorrow." The two children of this villager, one is ten years old and the other is nine years old, both of whom are old enough to help with farm work.

The voices of the villagers below are higher and higher, and Li Zheng can only watch the villagers talk now, anyway, he has explained the seriousness of the matter to the villagers, if he doesn't believe it, there will be no harvest at that time, then he can't help it.

Li Zheng is above, listening to the villagers are discussing, although there are disagree, fortunately, most of the villagers agree to the autumn harvest as soon as possible, Li Zheng's heart is not so heavy, after all, the more people agree to the autumn harvest, the fewer people will be affected by the disaster, in this way, if the locust plague really comes, one person in the village will give a point, and those who do not agree will not be unable to live, after all, they are all people of the same clan, who will not be saved if they die.

"Tianming, you go back and tell Yueniang that she won't go to school tomorrow, and let those babies help take back the crops first." Li Zheng said to Liu Tianming, he was just on the side, and he also heard that many villagers were planning to let their children help with the autumn harvest, so he just told the patriarch that he would simply not go to school first, and the autumn harvest was the top priority at present.

"Well, I'll tell her." Liu Tianming agreed. He also knows that the babies in the school are basically ten years old, and the babies of this age, whenever the autumn harvest is due, they have to be used as half a laborer, so he is asking him to pass the word to Yueniang, and then go to school after the autumn harvest, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

Li Zheng also told the villagers that they would let their children help with the autumn harvest first, and then go to school later, and the villagers felt that this was the best, and the family could help, and they would not learn less than others because they didn't have time to go to school.

"Alright, let's go home and get ready." Li Zheng saw that everything was finished, so he asked everyone to go back, after all, this point is not early, and now when I go back, I can prepare all the tools for the autumn harvest, and the autumn harvest can start tomorrow.

Along the way, the villagers did not talk about the locusts, but hoped that the locusts would come back later, so that they could take back all the crops, at least the rice.

Liu Tianming also followed the back of the villagers, rushed to the house, just before he came out, he had asked the child and his mother to prepare all the tools for tomorrow's autumn harvest, now he has to go back quickly, to see which sickles are not sharp enough, should be repaired, should be sharpened. There's also the matter of telling Yueniang that she won't go to school tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
