Seeing Shen Ling, Song Qinyu greeted him, "County Lord, you're here."

"I don't know what the prince invited me to do?" Shen Ling is very straightforward, she has nothing to do with this free king in the palace, and she doesn't think that Song Qinyu is simply looking for herself to catch up.

"Since the county lord speaks so bluntly, then the king of this book is not like the county lord." Song Qinyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please take a seat."

Shen Ling sat down and looked at this free king for a long time.

Song Qinyu's eyebrows and eyes were light, dressed in a white robe, and her smile was like a spring breeze, but it was a pity that the smile was too shallow and too superficial.

Feeling Shen Ling's scrutiny, Song Qinyu didn't care, he asked: "I often hear that the county lord is resourceful, not only solved the drought in Muyang County, but also did good deeds along the way, helping many people, I don't know if I am interested in helping this king."

"Oh?" This aroused Shen Ling's interest, and she didn't think that she could help this prince.

Song Qinyu didn't answer and asked, "What does the county lord think of Yancheng here?"

Thinking of the lively scene he saw when he walked over, Shen Ling replied: "The people in the city are kind and hospitable, and there are no homeless people on the street, so it can be seen that the prince has governed this place very well."

She came here today, and there are still many things she hasn't seen, so she can only say something superficial.

Song Qinyu was not surprised by Shen Ling's answer, "These are just superficial things."

Shen Ling asked, "Actually?"

"In fact, the treasury is empty, and the military salaries allocated by the emperor are not enough to support the soldiers after layers of exploitation, and the reason why the soldiers can continue to hold the border city is because the Baixin people save their own rations."

It's about military salaries, this is not something that Shen Ling can help, she believes that Song Qinyu also knows this.

Shen Ling was puzzled, "What do you want me to help you?"

"Recently, the locusts have crossed the border, the fields on the border have been devastated, and the people themselves have not enough to eat, so that it has affected the supply of military rations.

Hearing this, Shen Ling did not refuse, and responded, "I promise you."

She is not afraid that Song Qinyu will deceive her, after all, this kind of thing, as long as it is verified a little, the result can be obtained.

Song Qinyu's face was serious, "Lord Xie, after the matter is completed, this king will definitely thank you again."

Shen Ling waved his hand, "Thank you for it, even if you don't say it, the county lord will take action if he knows about the locust plague here."

After learning some more about Song Qinyu in the house, Shen Ling left.

The next day, Shen Ling went to the City Lord's Mansion and was taken to the fields by Song Qinyu.

Unlike the lively scene seen when entering the city, many rice paddies in the fields have been eaten by locusts, and many people can be seen with sad faces.

Locusts lay in dense clusters in the fields, and some people were catching locusts with nets and burning the locusts they caught, and the smoke was everywhere.

Passing by a field, Shen Ling saw a middle-aged woman who was driving away locusts in the field, but if she drove one away, there would be the next one, or even more.

She cried out, "Go away, go away, this is the food I have for my son and his brothers."

The voice attracted Song Qinyu's attention, and he sighed and explained to Shen Ling.

"Her son's name is Liu Hu, and he is a member of the garrison."

Shen Ling was surprised, it seemed that Song Qinyu really cared about these people, just by seeing this woman, he knew who the woman's son was, and even knew her son's name.

"It seems that the prince has spent a lot of effort on Yancheng."

Song Qinyu laughed, and his thoughts gradually drifted away, "When I first came here, I was very depressed, although I was a prince, but at that time I couldn't even eat enough, it was the people here who accepted me and gave me food, so I was able to survive."

Saying that, Song Qinyu pointed to a ditch at the edge of the field, "This was dug out by someone after I came, just so that the people don't have to go to the mountains to get water."

"The people have reciprocated to me, and I have contributed to this city, and a little bit of geese have been made

The city has become what it is now, and it has long had feelings."

At this time, a locust flew in front of Song Qinyu, and Song Qinyu showed hatred on his face.

"I've spent so much effort and so much effort to protect the city, but these locusts can easily scar it."

Shen Ling heard so much, she was very emotional in her heart, and she promised, "Don't worry, I will never leave until I cure this locust plague for you."

"With the words of the county lord, I am relieved."

The two walked around the field for a long time, and Shen Ling carefully inspected the rice fields that had been bitten by locusts, and even caught a locust and put it in a bamboo tube.

Shen Ling probably had the bottom in her heart, and she said to Song Qinyu, "I may be able to deal with these locusts, but I need the cooperation of the prince."

Song Qinyu heard Shen Ling say that he could handle it, and his eyes lit up a lot.

"You say, I'll do my best."

"I need a field to try my trick, it doesn't need to be very big, half an acre is fine, and it's better to cover the locust hit area."

"Well, I'll be able to take care of this for you right now." Saying that, Song Qinyu raised his hand and signaled, "County Lord, please come here."

Shen Ling followed Song Qinyu and was taken by him to a field, where many locusts were lying on their stomachs, and the rice in many places had been eaten up, much more serious than the other places Shen Ling saw on the road.

On the ridge of the field stood an old man with gray hair, who looked at the field sadly and sighed again and again.

Song Qinyu walked over and pointed to the rice field, "Old man, can this field lend me for a while."

When the old man saw Song Qinyu, his face improved a little, "It's the city lord."

As he spoke, the old man pointed to his ears again, "Little old man's ears are not good, what did the city lord say?"

Song Qinyu patiently raised her voice and repeated what she had just said, "I said, can you lend me this field for a while."

"Oh, borrow land." The old man heard Song Qinyu's words clearly this time, "It's easy to say, but what does the city lord want this land for? It's all about to be eaten by locusts."

"To cure the locust plague, of course." Shen Ling interjected, also raising her voice.

The old man became excited, "Can you cure the locust plague?"

"Maybe, but you need Grandpa's field, half an acre."

The old man was very enthusiastic, "Okay, okay, you can take this half acre, as long as you can control the locust plague, I can even give this half acre of land to you."

Just now, Shen Ling and Song Qinyu were talking very loudly, and in addition to the old man, people from other fields nearby also heard it.

They shouted excitedly, "As long as I can cure the locust plague, I can also send half an acre of land out!"
