Chapter 536: A Swarm of Terrifying Locusts
In the past, even if she went to the county office, it was like entering the tiger's den in Longtan for her, and she would still tremble when she walked through the gate of the county government.
And now, even the government is the government, and they are not afraid.
Moreover, the owner of the mansion can still be kind to them, so they are almost like guests.
Inside the carriage, Xue Kejing, who had been pretending to be calm before, patted her chest a little exaggeratedly, and said with a face full of disbelief, "Qianyue, is this how it happened?" ”
Compared with her incalmness, Jiang Qianyue was the corners of her mouth hooked, and she smiled slightly, "Otherwise?" ”
"I always feel that things are going too well, which makes me a little unbelievable, those two just now are our Taishou and the county commander, why don't they keep helping us, and the other is like sending money to the god of wealth", Xue Kejing couldn't help but mutter.
Jiang Qianyue looked indifferent and said, "I don't know, maybe it's to reward us for sending them to solve the crisis, besides, no matter how much discount we give, we can't lose it to them, so we can't give it hard, let us be grateful to them and do more."
The twists and turns in this officialdom are not something that we ordinary people can figure out, we just need to get the benefits we need, no matter what he does. ”
Xue Kejing nodded fiercely, "You're right, but, Qianyue, with this salt lead, we are not afraid of no salt, and second, we are not afraid of being expensive.
As a result, I got it so much today, it's incredible, my heart and legs are shaking now, such a great news, how did you do it without changing your face? ”
As she spoke, Xue Kejing deliberately shook her legs and feet sharply to show her.
Looking at her exaggerated movements, Jiang Qianyue still smiled indifferently, and then said to her secretly.
"Actually, I'm the same, not only my hands are shaking and my feet are shaking, but even my heart and liver are trembling, and now this appearance is all pretended, pretending to be seen by outsiders."
"Really? I touched it, but I didn't shake. ”
Xue Kejing didn't believe that her appearance of seeing the world was pretended.
As he spoke, he grabbed her hands and noticed that she seemed to be really shaking.
Then, the two of them shook their hands and feet.
"Haha, you're shaking more than me."
"yes, because I'm more scared than you."
"So that's who you really are."
"No, who is calmer than whom, in fact, depends on who can pretend."
"So are you calm now?"
"If you don't calm down, your mental fluctuations are great."
"Mother, why are you so happy that you cry, let me comfort you, hehe."
"Yes, hurry up and reassure me, or I won't be able to stop."

In the laughter of the two, the carriage continued to move quickly in the direction of Xinwen Town, Fengqing County, leaving only laughter and crying in the car.
However, what the two people in the carriage didn't know was that after they left, the two adults in their mouths talked secretly until the middle of the night.
Two days later. txt
With the continuous posting of notices in the prefecture and county, as well as the propaganda along the streets of the officials and even the soldiers stationed there, as well as the news that the locust plague might move to the south of them in person, everyone in the entire Ning'an Mansion knew about it.
This matter is related to their own harvest this year, and the people are even more concerned.
They either called out or ran to tell each other, so that the locust plague suddenly became the hottest topic in Ning'an Mansion.
In the streets and alleys and in the fields, people can be heard talking about locust plagues and locusts.
Later, it gradually developed to the point that many people had to carry nets and sacks when they went out, whether they went to work or the field, or just went out for a walk, neither of which dared to leave their hands.
Even when those children go out to play, they can carry small nets and sacks on their bodies, in case they catch locusts at any time and go to Naxue's house to change copper plates.
Not to mention the people who planted the crops, they kept watch over the fields almost every day, and some even brought food to guard the livelihood of the whole family.
All of them are holding 'weapons' and waiting for them.
As for the price of chickens, ducks and geese, the natural enemies of locusts, they have been continuously speculated, and they have become hot upstarts for a while.
Among the people of the entire Ning'an Mansion, the most relaxed are the 700,000 landless and landless displaced people, as well as the people in Fengqing County and the surrounding areas who rent their fields to the Xue family.
Of course, while relaxing, they are also worried about the harvest of the Xue family's hundreds of thousands of acres of land, in case they are eaten by locusts and the harvest is cut off, and when the harvest season comes, they will not be able to work as usual!
Therefore, these people have become the people who pay the most attention to their hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potato fields outside the Xue family.
There are so many ducks here, and so many people often pay attention to their fields, and the Xue family also has more confidence in surviving this locust plague.
Not only the people, but also the government has allocated a large number of manpower to guard the east, west, and north sides of the entire Ning'an Province, so as to get the news of the locust swarm in time and prevent their invasion as much as possible.
In other words, didn't this locust come from the north, and shouldn't they focus on the north side and concentrate on doing great things?
That's because locust swarms don't necessarily follow a straight line.
In terms of the general direction, it is true that it is from north to south, but when it comes to the detailed route, no one can judge the actual whereabouts of the locust swarm, and they may fly from any direction at any time.
So why not garrison the south side?
This is needless to say, the south side is the East Kamino Forest!
No matter how capable this swarm of locusts were, it would be impossible for them to fly over the entire Tojin Wild Forest.
Therefore, no matter how they go around, they can't go around the side that approaches the wild forest and fly back, so this side is very safe, and it can almost be said to be a natural barrier for humans.
Under the strict waiting of the people and soldiers, this swarm of locusts, which the government called the coexistence of opportunities and crises, finally entered the territory of Ning'an Mansion one day.
The gradually hot weather has boosted the reproduction of locusts, and with the arrival of autumn, the eggs laid by the summer locusts that raged wildly in April and May in the north are constantly breaking through the soil and becoming the main force wreaking havoc in the land of Chu.
And the ineffective control of locusts in the north has also led to the reproduction of autumn locusts to be even more terrifying.
A piece of Wuyang in the sky could block the scorching sun hanging high in an instant, as if a dark cloud had descended, so that the people, who had seen such a terrifying scene for almost the first time, and even some of the soldiers couldn't help but retreat, for fear that they would be eaten by the swarm.
Yes, the people who were originally guarding this place with the intention of making a big deal were so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat when they saw the terrifying 'dark clouds'.
But the good thing is that there are only a part of these people.
In addition to these people and soldiers, there are also a large number of displaced people from the north.
