The first weekend after the locust plague was the farmer's meeting time agreed upon by Wang Bo and Christan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He doesn't expect the farmers to come, after all, the recent locust plague was so terrible, not all farms have so many chickens, ducks and geese, and the government's response is not timely, so many farms have suffered great damage.

But the plague has already passed as the government organized agricultural planes to drop pesticides on a large scale to kill locusts.

Wang Bo called Christan and asked them if they were still coming, and Christan said that they would definitely come, and everyone had agreed that they must come to Sunset Town, thanks to Wang Bo.

Hearing this, he was confused, why do these people want to thank themselves?

The answer was revealed on Saturday, when a super-convoy of dozens of pickup trucks drove up to Sunset Town in the morning and headed straight for the office building.

Seeing this pickup truck team, the security guards in the government office building were startled, and thought they had come across a smashing field.

After Wang Bo saw it from the window, he walked down, and he deliberately waited for everyone here.

The castle was under maintenance and could not accommodate everyone, and the number of farmers who came to the party was not large, so there was no need to use the square for the party, so Wang Bo chose the government building as the meeting place, which has a meeting room and a reception hall.

Christian's Ford F150 led the way, they pulled the car over, and the security guard came up solemnly and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Wang Bo walked out and beckoned: "Nadean, it's okay, this is my friend, let them come in." ”

The security guard wiped his forehead and muttered, "I thought I was here to make trouble." ”

The farmer brought his family, there were sixty or seventy people in total, Wang Bo and Christian hugged each other, then shook hands one by one, and motioned for them to go to the conference room, where snacks and drinks were ready.

"We are not in a hurry to have a party, King, and we want to thank you first of all for doing a good thing to our farms in Otago and Canterbury," said Christan. ”

Wang Bo said strangely: "Yes, you said that before, what did I do?" ”

"Attract fire, man, Sunset has managed to attract firepower in this locust plague and become our shield." A farmer named Batrouh laughed.

Wang Bo suddenly realized that this was the case, and he knew about it.

The locusts were moving in groups, and as they moved south, most of them flew to Sunset Town, and only a small half moved to the surrounding area, which is why he felt so bad when he saw the locust plague at that time.

In this way, the little locust swarm did not do any evil in the South Island, at least not as badly as the farms in Christchurch.

At the time, the news reported on the incident, and then some experts speculated that the abundant aquatic plants in Sunset Town attracted the locust swarm, and the town had a large number of birds and birds, forming a super strong food network to wipe out the locust swarm.

Some people are already beginning to wonder what is wrong with the water and soil in Sunset Town, where the beef and mutton are of excellent quality, the vegetables and grains grown here are easy to harvest, and the locusts that have appeared now are more interested in Sunset Town.

As a result, some agronomists have speculated that Sunset's water and soil may contain some mysterious elements that can have a strong attraction to these animals and insects.

Wang Bo didn't pay much attention to these reports, anyway, Sunset Town successfully survived this disaster, and because of the blessing of misfortune, it is estimated that this batch of chickens, ducks and geese will grow very quickly, and the meat quality is also very good.

Until now, there are still some swarms of locusts that have slipped through the net and rushed to Sunset Town, of course, they came to make food, and the purple pheasants ate crookedly, and recently they all ran to the edge of the area to assemble, and they immediately met the locust swarm.

Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "It turns out that this is the case, it's nothing, in fact, I don't really want to help everyone, so I don't need to thank me." ”

"Don't say that, king, your pastures and farms have really helped us a lot, and if the locust swarm goes to my territory, then I will be miserable!"

"With this lesson, I also want to raise some chickens and ducks, so that I don't have to be afraid of locust plagues again."

"Damn, it used to rely on the government, and the government was unreliable, so it was better to rely on each other."

The farmers began to talk, and the meeting room suddenly became lively.

The meeting room was made of simple jewelry, and the tables and chairs were arranged in circles as at the party, with large circles and small circles, so that the farmers could chat together or in small circles.

Coffee, juice and black tea were well prepared, and he ordered a lot of snacks and snacks from the bakery so that everyone could chat and eat and drink.

From the chat, Wang Bo learned some news that he hadn't paid attention to before.

This time, the North Island was more seriously affected than the South Island, and the locust plague was not as terrible as they imagined, mainly because New Zealand did not have a relative emergency mechanism, and everyone had not encountered the locust plague much, and they were in a hurry for a while.

The speed of the government's response has been criticized, and many districts are now protesting the inaction of the Ministry of Agriculture, demanding an apology from the Prime Minister and cleaning up the Ministry of Agriculture.

In this regard, Wang Bo knows some insiders, the control of the Ministry of Agriculture is still in the hands of the National Party, in fact, they reacted quite quickly, but the Workers' Green Alliance Party did not do its best, and did not provide them with enough resources to fight the disaster.

Na Qingyang told him that the Workers' Green Alliance had been trying to wrest some seats in the National Assembly from the National Party, and also wanted to drive them out of some real power departments, and this locust plague has become their battlefield.

Politics is always so dirty and disgusting, whether it is the Workers' Green League or the National Party, they only care about their own interests, and the voters are like night pots, mentioning them when they need them, and avoiding them when they don't.

On the South Island side, Christchurch was the hardest hit, with 25 of the Quinoa Society's farms going bankrupt as a result.

There are more bankrupt farms in the North Island, estimated at least hundred, and there are not many bankrupt farms in the South Island except around Christchurch, although there are losses, but the losses are acceptable.

Later, the farmers on the side of Aocheng also came, which was invited by Wang Bo to Motak, and they all belonged to the Quinoa Association, so since they wanted to organize a party, it was better to organize a larger scale.

Farmers bring beer, and any farm that grows malt and wheat brews its own beer.

When there are more people, it is lively, but it can also become noisy.

Wang Bo is the most popular one in the audience, there is no doubt about it, he is the host, he is the richest and most powerful person here, and everyone knows that you can get a lot of benefits after befriending him.

In this way, he kept entertaining people in various circles, so that he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I will continue to toast everyone with the groom at the wedding." ”

Boers smiled, "Mayor Wang, when are you going to get married?" Don't forget to invite us when the time comes. (To be continued.) )
