The method of defending and exterminating locusts, after so many years of practice, Da Chu has summed up a lot of experience.

The challenge is how to improve the efficiency of these experiences and methods.

However, the advantages of the Xue family are indeed great.

For example, the 700,000 disaster victims, they don't have their own fields, and they don't have to protect their crops when the locust plague comes, they can let the Xue family, or the government, dispatch them, and give full play to everyone's locust extermination power as much as possible.

This is basically impossible in ordinary prefectures

On the second day, Jiang Qianyue personally went to Zheng Linchu to inquire about the news and discuss countermeasures.

Although Jiang Qianyue had a lot of complaints about her in Xue Langjing's matter, and even complained a little, she still believed in her very much in other aspects.

Not to mention the rest of the Xue family, they are about to take her words as the truth, who let everything in their house be given by the other party, and they have been helping them.

After confirming the news with Zheng Linchu, Jiang Qianyue once again convened everyone to discuss countermeasures

In the end, everyone chose to believe Zheng Linchu and directly made a final decision.

They decided to communicate with the government first, and if the official had reliable information and was willing to facilitate it, they would start to invest money in building a workshop and preparing for the follow-up.

On another day, Jiang Qianyue took Xue Kejing and the people sent by the Zheng family to the county government in a carriage to ask for a meeting with the county order.

After so many days of getting along, it can be seen that this county magistrate is completely different from the one in the past.

This is not only a good official who is the master of the people in a down-to-earth manner, but also does not have that sense of superiority to the common people, in short, he has no official authority over the people.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he is not old-fashioned, and he will not have the arrogance of a literati who looks down on businessmen, on the contrary, he also has a kind of courtesy and virtuous corporal for a good businessman who really has the heart or financial resources to do good things for the people.

And for the Xue family, a great family of goodness, it seems that he loves it even more.

He has even stated many times that he likes to have more good businessmen like the Xue family under his jurisdiction, and he will contribute money and efforts to help him govern Fengqing County better and live more peacefully.

Therefore, when he learned the news from Jiang Qianyue, and the news also came from the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was with him, even if he put aside the affairs around him, he directly took the two of them to Lord Taishou.

Why didn't Jiang Qianyue go directly to Taishou, but to find a county commander who couldn't make his own decisions?

Naturally, because there are rules for everything, if she directly reports to the next level, what should the county order think? Do you have some unpleasant thoughts about them?

Now that he is like this, his share will be indispensable when he has merit, and he will naturally be more optimistic about the Xue family.

In fact, generally speaking, the county magistrate, as the head of a county, is not allowed to leave the county under his jurisdiction without authorization, except in special circumstances.

Otherwise, he will have to bear the consequences of leaving his post without permission.

It is conceivable how much this Zhang County Commander attaches importance to them, or is informal.

Out of the county office, the four of them drove a carriage for nearly an hour and a half to the government office, asking to see Lord Taishou.

Inside the government.

After listening to the reports of several people, Taishou Shi Xiangyun stood with his hands in his hands and sighed, "You really care about the people!"

To tell you the truth, this official has also received the news from the imperial court that the locust swarm in the north is moving southward.

It's just that the official is still waiting for the notice from above, but he doesn't want to, everyone knows better than the official. "Let's pick up the book

Zhang Shi took a step forward and bowed down and asked, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun thought for a while before saying, "Food-related matters, in this world, the most well-informed person is undoubtedly the Zheng family.

Just like the locust plague some time ago, the Zheng family, which had been prevented in advance and had sufficient preparation, was almost unharmed, and the information they provided was unlikely to be wrong. ”

Lord Taishou's words made Zhang Xianling's heart happy, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Before the imperial court issued documents, he would undoubtedly have to take a huge risk by delivering news to the people without authorization, which would easily cause their fear and shake their confidence.

Therefore, Shi Taishou did not answer everyone immediately, only frowned deeply and walked back and forth in the room.

And everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for the decision of the Taishou.

I don't know how long it took, but the person who had been holding the hand finally stopped, turned to look at everyone, and sighed lightly, "Well, this matter is related to the safety of nearly two million people, and since we have learned about it, how can this official ignore it?"

Besides, Miss Jiang and the people can still be so attentive, can this official still retreat? As long as he can keep the food for the people of the entire Ning'an Mansion, what if the official fights for this black gauze hat on his head!

The magistrate decided to inform the people of this matter in advance, so that they could be prepared as soon as possible, so that the locusts could not wreak havoc in the territory of the province. ”

Taishou's decision made everyone happy, and at the same time, they were also moved by his concern for the people.

"My lord is benevolent, and having such a superior official to protect him is really a blessing for the people of our Ning'an Mansion!" Several people saluted him.

"You don't need to be like this, it is the duty of the officials to seek the welfare of the people, and if you really want to implement it in place, you have to rely on good businessmen like you and good officials who ask for the lives of the people", Taishou helped everyone up, and gave them enough face between words.

After a period of mutual humility between the two sides, Zhang Xianling felt that it was almost enough, and began to seek benefits for the Xue family, who took the initiative to solve the problem for him.

"Lord Shi, what about the Xue family setting up a workshop to collect locusts from the people and seek their welfare?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xianling also pointed to Jiang Qianyue and the others behind him.

That's obvious, you have to say it, right?

Jiang Qianyue, who was on the plate, understood it, and blessed Taishou again, looking at him expectantly.

"This is a great good thing for the people, the official should support him, what difficulties does Miss Jiang have, although he made it clear to the official that as long as he can provide convenience for the girl, the official should do his best."

Lord Taishou was so refreshing, which made Jiang Qianyue happy, "Thank you, in fact..."

。。。

After that, everyone stayed in the palace for several hours.

Jiang Qianyue and the two went out in the morning, and when they left the mansion, it was almost close to the unitary hour.

It can be imagined how long everyone talked about the locust plague.

Of course, it can be seen from the faces of the people when they left the palace that they were extremely satisfied with this conversation.

Especially Jiang Qianyue and the others, before they came, they didn't even think that this matter would go so smoothly.

Even if the two adults didn't respond to their needs, they were almost the same.

Until she left the mansion, Xue Kejing wondered if she was dreaming.

Before getting into the carriage, she couldn't help but look back at the majestic gate of the mansion.
