The maid Xiaobai had already packed the bags that Yan Jinxi needed to prepare when she went to Xingping the next day.

The next day, Yan Jinxi took the maid Xiaobai and rode a carriage towards Xingping.

The carriage traveled all day, and it was still dawn when they set off, and by the time they arrived in Xingping County, it was already dark.

The two of them rested in the inn for one night, and that night, she looked at the bright moon outside the window, her tone was a little guilty, and she said to herself: "Father, mother, Yin'er is not helping your enemy Shen Luo, I am helping the people of Chu State." ”

The next day, Yan Jinxi took the appointment document of Emperor Shen Luo and went to the county government, ready to ask the county magistrate here about the specific situation of the locust plague.

The county government was not far from their inn, and the two of them soon came here, and Lord Liu, the county commander of Xingping County, was very courteous to Yan Jinxi, who was sent by the capital to control the locust plague.

Liu County Ling took a few mansions to greet her at the gate of the mansion: "Lady Yan, it's really hard to come from afar, and the specific situation of the locust plague, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Yan Jinxi smiled and nodded, the Xingping Mansion was extremely dilapidated, she frowned slightly, it seems that this people have been living a relatively poor life for a long time.

After Liu County invited Yan Jinxi inside, he sent someone to make a pot of tea for her: "Female official Yan, this is the tea produced locally in Xingping, female official Yan taste it." ”

The fragrance of tea spread in the air, and then, Liu County Ling began to introduce their situation in Xingping County, which suffered a once-in-a-century drought last year, and the people had no harvest.

This year, the rain in Xingping County is sufficient, who would have thought that in the summer, the locusts are very bad, the crops are eaten out of shape, and many people are guarding the ground every day to no avail...... The people are now in fear.

"Lord Liu, I know, I plan to go to the town where the locust plague is most serious today to inspect and then seek a solution." Yan Jinxi pondered.

"I'll send a few servants to escort you." Liu County Ling was a little excited, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Then Xingping County depends on Female Officer Yan." ”

Yan Jinxi did not stay any longer in the county office, and went straight to Nanhe Town, which was the most severely affected by the locust plague in Xingping.

When I was about to arrive at Nanhe Town, the mountain road was a little potholed, and Yan Jinxi simply didn't take the carriage and walked directly.

Yan Jinxi soon came to a village in Nanhe Town, in a rice field, guarding a middle-aged couple.

Guarding in the field, fighting the locusts on the crops, the scorching sun, the middle-aged couple was already sweating profusely, and Yan Jinxi looked a little sad.

She stepped forward, crouched down and asked the middle-aged woman gently, "Is there really no solution to this locust plague?" ”

"Girl, isn't it? There are too many locusts. The middle-aged woman's tone revealed helplessness.

Yan Jinxi didn't know what words to use to comfort the middle-aged woman, stood up, and walked forward. She walked slowly, and at the same time she was contemplating how to deal with this locust plague.

The crux of the locust plague is locusts, as long as the problem of locusts is eliminated, can be solved, is there any medicine that can cure locusts without affecting crops, and then make a potion, sprinkle on the crops, isn't it solved?

Thinking of this, Yan Jinxi suddenly had an idea, as long as he could find medicine to control the locusts, the locust plague should be solved.

She went around the locust plague village again, made sure it was the same situation, and left.

After returning to the inn at night, Xiaobai lit several candles for her, and the room immediately became bright.

Yan Jinxi sat at the table and opened the "Complete Book of Herbal Medicine" she brought with her in the capital, this book was written by the medical sanctuary of the previous dynasty, and I don't know if there are any herbs in this book to treat the locust plague.

She flipped through the pages one by one, and in the last two pages she saw a kind of incense called incense, which the book said was long and thin, and it was a yellow herb that had the effect of curing the locust plague.

"Xiaobai, this incense has the effect of curing the locust plague, let's go to Liu County Ling again tomorrow and ask him to send someone to make a potion."

Xiao Bai replied with a look of admiration: "Miss is really smart. ”

Yan Jinxi: "You girl......"

After a busy day, Yan Jinxi fell asleep deeply.

The next day, before Yan Jinxi and the others went, Liu Xianling personally came to the inn to find Yan Jinxi.

"Lady Yan, do you have any effective measures to control the locust plague?" Liu Xianling asked modestly.

Yan Jinxi didn't answer immediately, first asked him to sit down, and then carefully explained the countermeasures to Liu County, which was extremely efficient.

In less than half a day, Liu County's order made the potion according to the method Yan Jinxi said. Then he sent people to distribute the potions to the various towns, and then distributed them to the villages from Lizheng.

……

The problem of the locust plague had begun to be solved, and Yan Jinxi thought that her plan had barely started, so she packed her bags early and prepared to return to the capital the next day.

The day passed especially quickly, especially when the problem of locust plague was to be resolved immediately.

The next day, the inn prepared a carriage for Yan Jinxi, and when Yan Jinxi was about to get into the carriage, he heard Liu County's panting voice:

"Female Officer Yan, something happened, something happened......

What the? Could it be a plague of locusts? Yan Jinxi stepped down from the carriage and asked, "Lord County Commander, what's the matter?" ”

"Since the people of Xingping County used the potion prepared yesterday to control the locust plague, the locusts on the people's crops have not been alleviated, but have become more serious, and the number has doubled that of before." The county magistrate said worriedly.

This news, for Yan Jinxi, is like a bolt from the blue, but she is a female official sent by the Ministry of Industry to deal with the locust plague, and she can't panic.

"Liu County Order, don't panic, let me think of other ways."

Liu Xianling nodded helplessly in agreement, as soon as this incident came out, he didn't seem to believe Yan Jinxi as much as he did at the beginning.

But everyone was particularly surprised that Yan Jinxi's self-confidence, just a girl less than twenty years old, could be so calm and not panicked in the face of trouble, many men who have been in the world for a long time can't do this.

Yan Jinxi returned to the room and thought quietly, it was written like that in the Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, how could it not decrease but increase, this is really difficult to explain.

If she returned to the capital like this, then she would become a joke in the court of Chu State, and she was ordered to deal with the locust plague, and the situation of locusts increasing instead of decreasing was cured.

"Miss, what can I do?" The maid Xiaobai was a little anxious and asked.

"Looks like he'll be able to solve the situation." Yan Jinxi said lightly.

In her previous life, when she was the queen, she knew that there was a master in the Chu country, and that person knew astronomy and geography. Everyone in the Chu State is said that this person is omnipotent.

But this person is cold and unfathomable, so Shen Luo is so jealous of him, so he will send her to the National Teacher's Mansion to assassinate him repeatedly.

This person is Jing Yan, the national teacher of the dynasty, known as "the first son in the world".

"The person that Miss is talking about is Master Jing, the national teacher?" The maid asked tentatively.

"Exactly." Originally, she was still a little hesitant, but at this moment she made up her mind, "Xiaobai, I will repair a book now, and you will fly a pigeon to pass the book and send this letter to the National Teacher's Mansion." ”

After that, Yan Jinxi began to spread out the rice paper and began to write letters, and soon the beautiful little Kai jumped on the paper.

Yan Jinxi thought to herself, if this letter is sent now, the national teacher will probably be able to come today.

She doesn't want to get in touch with the national teacher, she wants to stay away from these right and wrong people, but this time is different, this time it involves the people of Xingping County, if the locust plague cannot be controlled, thousands of people cannot solve the problem of food and clothing...... In short, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This was the first and last time she took the initiative to ask the national teacher for help.

While she was contemplating how to respond, she was also waiting for the national teacher to come.

Until four hours later, the national teacher Jing Yan still did not come.

Yan Jinxi sneered: "How can these powerful people care about the lives of the people of Limin? It's me who overestimated Jing Yan. ”

"No, no, miss, it's not like this, Lord Jing is an official who cares about Li Min, not as Miss thinks." Xiaobai said hesitantly.

"Well, how much money did the national teacher give you to buy you?"

"Miss......"

Xiaobai didn't continue to say anything, the two just changed into civilian clothes and prepared to go to the locust plague village, she needed to see with her own eyes what was wrong.

As soon as the two of them left the inn and were about to walk west, a cold voice sounded behind them:

"Yan Jinxi."

Yan Jinxi turned around, he, the national teacher really came, and he was still as handsome as ever.

Yan Jinxi took the initiative to walk in front of the national teacher, without words, she knew that it had been made clear in the book of flying pigeons.

Jing Yan: "Let's go to the locust plague village to check it out." ”

He and she coincide.

But Jing Yan's words after that shocked Yan Jinxi: "Ride forward, hurry up like that, you don't have to hide it, after the last incident, I already know that you can do martial arts." ”

Yan Jinxi did not agree, still shirking, in her previous life she was indeed good at martial arts, but riding a horse was so-so, in her previous life she had two trips with her brother, fell off the horse, lay on the bed for many days, and since then I don't want to ride a horse......

"You want to ride with me so much?" The national teacher Jing Yan looked at her ink eyes and said word by word.

Yan Jinxi: "......"

Because of this sentence, Yan Jinxi had to ride a horse head-on, leaving Xiaobai in the inn, and she and Jing Yan went.

The horse was docile at first, but Jing Yan rode fast, and she had to ride fast to keep up with him.

At this time, Yan Jinxi's black horse accelerated and ran forward, becoming more and more difficult to control, she was almost about to be thrown under the horse, and shouted desperately "Help, help." ”

Jing Yan, who was in front, heard Yan Jinxi's voice, and immediately turned around and began to tame the horse......

It was the first time Yan Jinxi had seen Jing Yan's force, and he easily tamed the horse......
