Today, I would like to comfort everyone who is at the end of the long vacation! Double Shift!! I hope you will support me a lot! Thank you! I'm the divider-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My father and I got into the carriage and went to the stricken fields, as soon as I got there, I saw a piece of sand and yellow, full of locusts, it seemed that this disaster would make the emperor in Yuncheng pay attention to it, I hurriedly asked Li Qi, that is, Xing'er's father, to report the disaster here to the county magistrate, and also asked him to tell the surrounding counties how to deal with locusts, and the county magistrate will deal with the rest.

Now they are in a mess, I asked my father to organize the family members, use nets to catch locusts flying in the air, and let some people boil some boiling water to scald the locusts, and some people help dig ditches. After about 2 hours, part of the locusts were eliminated, some flew away into the distance, and a small part remained, which was too sparse, and the chickens, ducks and geese in the villagers' homes were full, so they had to catch them by hand, and after catching them for a while, they were basically wiped out. But I was still afraid of locusts, so I told them that in the evening, I should make a fire at the edge of the field, and let them pay attention to whether there were any locusts.

In fact, there is another method, I didn't say, pyrethrum, which can be dried and ground into powder and mixed into water, which is a natural insecticide, which will disturb the normal physiology of the insect nerves, making them excited, spasmodic to paralysis and death. If the dose is small, it is safer for humans and animals, and less polluting to the environment, but it is more toxic to fish, and it is also harmful to some beneficial insects, and long-term use will lead to pests developing resistance. So I didn't say it, and besides, I didn't see pyrethrum in the agricultural books of this era, so I guess no one knows the efficacy of your chrysanthemum. If the damage is really serious, I will go find this pyrethrum.

The villagers could handle the rest themselves, and my father and I went home, presumably my mother was in a hurry at home. Before I knew it, it was already past 1 p.m., so no wonder I was hungry. As soon as we entered the house, we smelled the smell of food, and it must have been my mother who helped us prepare the food! I was very touched in my heart, the care of my family reminded me of the past, and in modern times, it is not that my parents do not care about me, but I am the eldest daughter, I have to be sensible, I can't increase the burden on my family, I have to help my family share it, so naturally, I get only a handful of care. In this day and age, parents only have one child, and although it is not their own, it is better than their own. When my father and I went into the dining room, my mother sat at the table waiting for me and my father, and when she saw us coming back, she said, "I'm tired, I'm too busy to eat at noon, so sit down and eat." ”

"Let's eat with us!"

"Didn't Mother eat at noon?" Lu'er is my mother's maiden name, and her full name is Zhao Kexuan

My mother smiled and didn't speak, but I turned to look at my father again, and he said, "Your mother won't eat if she doesn't see that we have come back." ”

"Mother, your stomach won't be able to stand it."

My mother saw my worried eyes and said, "Wan'er, my mother has some snacks, don't worry, it's a big deal that next time my mother eats some food first, don't worry about Wan'er, okay?" ”

I nodded, stopped talking, and began to eat, perhaps hungry, and ate very deliciously. After the locust plague in previous years, the land was dry, and there was a possibility of plague and plague, and the family now has a cellar, and the rent paid by the tenants last year, that is, the grain was not sold, and now it is just right to eat at home, and it is necessary to buy some more food to store, because it is not yet known whether the emperor will have any policy to buy more food just in case.

When Li Qi came back, he told us that he had told the county magistrate about the situation in the affected villages, and also told the county magistrate what I said. After hearing this, my father told him to go down and rest, and said to me, "Wan'er, if someone asks you how you know these methods, you just say that you read them from books, it is not good for you, you are too young, although we know that you are talented, but others do not know. I'm worried about ......"

"I know what my father is worried about, and I will tell the outside world, not only what I saw in the book, but also the credit of Master Yuanwu."

"If only you could understand." After speaking, I took Ah Fu and Xiao Luzi to the county to buy grain, vegetables and meat, I was with my father, I thought about telling Yunyun, although her family has money and does not have to worry about not being able to eat, but she is afraid that there will be refugees fleeing the famine, once people are in a hurry, they will do something, so it is best to talk to her.

So my father and I parted ways, he sent me to Yunyun's house, asked me to wait for him to pick me up, and left. Yunyun was very happy to see me coming, "Wan'er, you're here!" ”

"Well, Yunyun, I have something to tell you."

"Oh, let's go to the backyard then! Little Peach prepares tea and pastries and brings them to the backyard. ”

Yunyun led me to the backyard and said, "What is so important, you have to make a special trip, and send someone to tell me no." ”

"Yunyun, I'm talking to you about the matter, someone came to my house this morning to ask my father for help, and now many villages are suffering from locust plagues, and there will definitely be a shortage of food or something."

"Then you don't have to worry, my dad won't starve me."

"Of course I know that your father won't starve you, what I'm afraid of is that there will be refugees after a while, and I'm not afraid of refugees, I'm afraid of bad intentions."

"I understand, Wan'er, you don't have to worry about me, I'm safe in the county, but you, your home is on the outskirts of the city, or Wan'er, you can move to my house to live!" I still have a lot of empty rooms in my house. ”

"No need, Yunyun, I still live in my own home, don't worry, I'll be fine, but I will reduce the number of times I come to the county."

"Ah, then I haven't seen you for a long time, don't don't, you just listen to me move to my house."

"Yunyun, I really don't need to. Forget it when I move to your house, I'll try to tell my parents to come to the county to see you, okay? ”

"Forget it, I won't force you, then when you come to see me, you must pay attention to safety."

"Yes, I will, Yunyun."

After another conversation, I left, although my father told me to wait for him, but I still had something to do, and I asked Xing'er to look for a pallet truck in an alley near the market, and to find the kind that would bring home delivery. After Apricot left, I took advantage of no one's attention to move some grain and vegetables from the space, pork, chickens, ducks and geese, as well as cured meats and bacon. After a while, Xing'er came back, followed by a person pulling a donkey and dragging the cart, and after putting the things in the car, I asked Xing'er to take someone home first and send the things back.

I came to the Drunken Immortal Residence alone, and as soon as Xiaohu saw me, he warmly welcomed me in, "Miss Wang, why are you here by yourself today." ”

"I have something to do with your little master, is he there?"

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll call you."

Just find a place to sit down, and after a while, I saw Han Jun coming.

"Wan'er, is there any way to cheapen me?"

"Where did you come from so many ways, I came here this time to tell you something else."

"Tell me, what's the matter! As long as I can help, I will do my best to help. ”

"You're the one I'm talking about."

"Ah, what else is there that I have to do. Tell me about it. ”

"I don't know if you've heard of a plague of locusts?"

"Just now, I was not in front of me, but someone informed me that there was a locust plague now, and not only in this county, but also in two or three cities in a row, and there was a tendency to spread."

"Then do you know what policies the emperor will have?"

"The news of the locust plague only reached Yuncheng today, and now the emperor is discussing the decision with the minister, and there is no news yet."

"I mainly came to you today, I want you to take care of Yunyun, although she has an entourage to follow when she goes out, but I am afraid that there will be refugees at that time, with the current situation, within 5 days, refugees will appear in the county and the city one after another, so I want you to take care of Yunyun."

"You trust me so much?"

"You are the young master of the Drunken Immortal Residence, well-informed, even if there is something happening, you can arrive in time, and you can run so many places with your father alone without even a single entourage, I believe that you have some ability."

"I didn't expect you to be able to see even this, haha, okay, I promise you, in fact, even if you don't say it, I will do it, Yunyun is also my friend, I won't let her have anything to do."

I nodded and continued, "This locust plague, your Drunken Immortal Residence will be affected a lot, right?" ”

"There will be an impact, but it will not affect normal business."

Sure enough, I was right, Zuixianju can be opened so big, and it has industries in 3 countries, so it does have the ability. They must have stockpiled goods everywhere, and even if they ran out of stock, they could bring them from other places, even other countries.

"Then have you ever thought about sending rice and porridge when there are refugees?"

"Then it depends on the situation at the time, after all, we are just ordinary people, and we have to depend on the emperor's decision, even if my family is rich, I can't afford to send rice every day, don't you say?"

I nodded, hey, since ancient times, natural disasters mainly depend on the imperial court's policy towards the disaster area, and I just hope that too many people will not be displaced. It didn't take long for my father to come to the Drunken Immortal Residence and find me, and taught me a lesson, saying that I shouldn't run around alone. I can only listen, I can't tell my father now that I have the ability to protect myself! Even if I say it, I can't believe it, and even if I do, then who did I learn it from! Hey, I can only keep my head down and be trained.

My father took me home, and I told him not to let my mother know, or she would be worried again. My father nodded my head with his hand and said, "I don't need to say it, I'll do the same." ”

I could only smile and pat my father's ass and say, "My father is wise and martial, and there is nothing that cannot be done." Hee-hee! ”

"You don't slap me on the back, if there is a next time to see how I punish you."

"I know, I know, there must be no next time."

After my father left, I went back to my room and saw Apricot and asked, "Apricot, how are things?" ”

"Miss, the things have been made."

"Yes. Did the mother ask anything? ”

"Madame asked why I came back alone, where is the young lady? How did these things come about. ”

"And how did you answer?"

"Hehe, Miss, don't worry, I told Madame that you are with the master, and I will send some food back first."

"Yes, that's good. Didn't you think you're quite smart? ”

"That's what Miss taught well."

"Come on, don't slap me on the back. How have I taught you how to recognize the words these days? ”

"Miss, don't worry, I read books and practice calligraphy whenever I have time, and now you can almost recognize the words you taught me." 、

"Well, bring me the book, and I'll teach you the rest of the story."

"Yes, miss."
