Chapter 1: Righteous Pressure and Compromise (Part 1)

At first, the people in the affected areas were reluctant to help catch locusts, and some even invited a few larger locusts to their homes to be raised, and naturally many of them were raised to death.

Prime Minister Yao finally persuaded the people and courtiers above, but the progress in the local area was not fast, and he ordered the local officials to organize manpower several times, which made a little improvement, but unfortunately, the locusts have become more numerous after such a long period of cultivation, which makes people worry that they will spread to other provinces.

In recent days, the people moved to catch locusts, but the effect was not great, Yao Chongzheng was about to give a tougher order, Zhangjia Zhuangzi's army came shaking and rushed, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

Xiaohong greeted Cherry and several officials, and couldn't wait to command the poultry to rush to the field or the field, chickens, ducks and geese rushed all the way, especially in the last half a day, they didn't eat anything decent at all, and with the example of the leading goose in front, they rushed directly one by one.

Especially those chickens, with their legs open, their necks lowered, their wings flapped, and the ones that ran were called fast, and all the locusts that appeared in front of them were one at a time, and their small mouths moved, and their necks were stretched, and a locust went down, and there were locusts that flew and ran and were not in a hurry to chase, but only ate what was in front of them.

The local people catch locusts usually at night more concentrated, light a fire, there are locusts desperately to the fire, the only tool during the day is a long pole in front of a pocket, use this to catch, the speed is faster at the beginning, with more locusts in the pocket, it is necessary to deal with it, naturally it will delay a lot of time.

These chickens, ducks and geese are different, they are caught and eaten directly, if those locusts fly to the front of the poultry team, and continue to fly for the time being, they are lucky, and if they fly in the wrong direction, they will fall directly to the predators below, and they will not wait for the ground, and they will be raised by these sensitive birds from the air.

Humans or some animals need to rely on stomach acid to digest food after eating it, but poultry is ground with sand that is usually eaten, and the speed of digestion is much faster, and some even pull while eating.

Especially all the way to the hurry, always let them in a state of semi-starvation, have lost a lot of weight, at this time to see so much food supplements, one by one to eat hard, they are such a free-range poultry, the demand for food has reached an almost perverted level.

You can eat two-thirds of your body weight or the same food in a day, and the number of grasshoppers that need to be eaten by such a big chicken can be imagined.

Two quarters of an hour, only two quarters later, those chickens, ducks and geese became small dots in people's sight, and the fields they passed by, there was not much grain on them, and there was nothing at all, and people did not eat this kind of thing, and there was a lot of meat in front of them.

At the same time, they could not find a single locust wherever they had swept it, and occasionally a few locust wings that had not been swallowed were mixed with the chicken feathers and blown up by the wind.

The prime minister, those officials, and the people who came to see the excitement were all shocked by this scene, so many poultry, running over in an uproar, and running away again in a blink of an eye, not only eating the locusts, but also leaving a lot of feces along the way, the people were happy to see this situation, and they could save a lot of trouble in the coming year, and they didn't have to go to the trouble of finding fertilizer.

When Cherry saw this scene, she thought that it was the little boy's explanation, and she 'recruited' among these people on the spot, and under the supervision of the people from the inner courtyard who came, she recruited some people, who were responsible for picking eggs behind her, and for every fifty eggs picked, you could take one home.

This can be accumulated, pick enough fifty at a time, directly change one egg is allowed, pick enough one hundred and fifty in two days, and change it together after a few days, or don't change the egg, directly convert it into something else, and the cherry will also find a way to transfer it.

Nearly 10,000 poultry, out of a little male and the rest are female, Zhuangzi also has a lot of roosters, but not sent, usually can lay more than 6,000 eggs a day, because the current food is good, can break through 7,000, the price paid a day is less than 200.

Originally, Cherry was afraid that everyone would not want to do it, after all, if you want to pick eggs, you need to lay poultry, but she can't imagine the extent of the demand for food by the people here, the drought has become a foregone conclusion, and even if all the taxes are exempted in the autumn, the life of the locals will not be easy.

They are usually idle and have nothing to do, follow behind, even if they change an egg in two days, there are fifteen in a month, these eggs have not been exchanged much, and in the current form, there are a lot, hearing the price of the cherry in exchange for other items, the people choose to keep the egg, the price of the cherry is the usual exchange range, but it is not the price of the food that is urgently needed now.

It took a short time for Cherry to find a hundred people, and the others later had no chance, if there were too many people, they wouldn't be able to get an egg in a few days, and these hundred people were selected, and which one had the most difficult life to choose.

The other people who were not chosen did not complain when they were uncomfortable, they came from so far to help, and they were looking for the people who had the worst lives, they couldn't scold people if they wanted to, they also had their own methods, the eggs were not picked by them, they all started to catch locusts in other places, and even the children at home had to help.

They cut down some plants that obviously did not grow food and made them into simple chicken coops, and they talked to Cherry and others, saying that at night, they would let the poultry come here to sleep, and they would also provide locusts for supper.

Xiaohong, Cherry and others were puzzled, and did not understand why these people were so enthusiastic, and there was a person in the inner courtyard who came to explain that these people were beating dung, because this year was destined to be a bad harvest, and some livestock families had to sell their livestock in order to survive.

If people eat less, there will be much less fertilizer in the local area next year, so in order to have a good harvest next year, we must find a way to save manure and wait for manure to be applied.

Hearing these things, Xiaohong and Cherry and the others even if they came over to help a little favor and make money casually, they also took pity on the local people, Cherry was the first person to follow Zhang Xiaobao, bold and responsible, and immediately ordered:

"Let the farmers go back to the village with fast horses, and take the poultry that are also laying eggs as fast as possible in the cart, and bring the half-sized chickens to the village, and tell the farmers that they will compensate them according to one egg every two days after they go back."

"Huh? All shipped? Also compensated? Cherry girl, this compensation is a bit much, they don't have to raise it, they will save a lot of feed. ”

A person in the inner courtyard who heard Cherry's order felt that the main family had paid too much, and he also knew that he didn't get those poultry at the beginning because he was afraid that it would be difficult to calculate the account, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi, two hundred and thirty-four households, one hundred and ninety-six households all raised chickens, ducks and geese, all of which were hatched by cherries, and now the first two batches can lay eggs.

"Listen to my words to do, everything should be borne by me, the account is not calculated like this, the farmer raises chickens to get eggs, not to save feed, must be compensated, hire a car, go fast, there is a lot of land here, only rely on this point of chickens and ducks can not eat."

When Cherry came, she had already been 'authorized', she was the biggest, no matter what decision was made, others had to obey it unconditionally, even if she said that she would kill all the poultry, others would have to do it, she did something wrong, and naturally the little boy would take care of it, but who dared not obey the order, beat it first, and bring it back to the master's house.

The people in the inner courtyard couldn't be convinced, so they had to obey the order, find a few horses, take another person, and at the same time change to a Mercedes-Benz, hurry back to prepare the vehicle, and recruit poultry.

Looking at the sharp movements of the two people of Zhangjia Zhuangzi when they flew on the horse, the peerless riding skills, Yao Chong glanced at the guard next to him, and the guard immediately said: "Master, those two must be from the military, look at the action of the horse in Fangcai, there are at least ten years of foundation, and then look at the posture of the horse when walking, it must have passed through the battle formation." ”

"Well, I heard that Cheng County Decree said, Zhangjia Zhuangzi found some people from the inner courtyard again, it seems that these two are found later, this kind of person usually does some chores, but he can charge forward at a critical time, go back and check, where the people have left their nationality, these two people are not old, there must be someone who has benefited from it."

Yao Chong seemed to be talking to himself, and when the dust raised by the two of them had settled, he set his eyes on the poultry that had turned a corner and eaten all the way back from elsewhere.

Said to the clerk beside him: "Write down this matter, tonight I want to fold the picture, and give the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang in Tuqiao Village, Sanshui County, Pizhou, and fulfill the old man of the Zhang family once, it is grain and poultry, and it is so hard that the local people and officials are watching it, and they can't hide it if they want to." ”

Yao Chong really couldn't understand why the Zhangjia Zhuangzi attached so much importance to the food of the hundred households, since this was the case, he also helped himself a lot, give some benefits, if it is forced, it will chill the hearts of the people, 10,000 chickens, ducks and geese are not decorations, the surrounding prefectures and counties all know about it, and send people to invite them to eat locusts.

"Adult, the little one thinks that this Zhang family Zhuangzi is deliberately like this, creating a big momentum, and forcing the adult to give him credit, so it's better to put it off for a while." When the clerk also knows the trouble of this matter, the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang and Wang use righteousness to oppress people, and no one will be comfortable.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, people are the first to move, and the original appearance has not yet arrived here at that time, everything depends on what the person who inquired over there said when he came back." Yao Chong's doubts were even more prevalent.
