Chapter 204: Controlling the Locust Plague
The two walked to the half-acre field that was fenced, and Shen Ling opened the gate of the fence and threw the Gu worms in the Gu porcelain into the half-acre field.
Since that day he sent someone to fence off this half acre of land, Song Qinyu has never looked at this land again, and he does not know the situation in the field.
But today, Shen Ling opened the door bar in front of him, and he clearly saw that there were many fewer locusts in this field.
According to the magnitude of the previous locust plague, this land should have been almost eaten, but now there are still many places that have not been eaten by locusts, which is not unlike the situation when the two of them came to see it together that day.
Song Qinyu was very surprised, but what surprised him even more was still to come.
As the Gu worms that Shen Ling threw fell, the locusts in the field avoided them as if they had met a nemesis, but the Gu worms did not give the locusts such a chance, and pounced on the locusts, and it didn't take long for the locusts to be eaten by the Gu worms.
And the Gu worms were also strangled to death after eating the locusts, but the Gu worms quickly multiplied some small Gu worms before they died, and the small Gu worms ate the locusts again, and the cycle continued.
Shen Ling watched the Gu worms he had cultivated play a role, and he was very happy in his heart.
She asked Song Qinyu proudly, "How is it, are you still satisfied?"
The gloom between Song Qinyu's eyebrows swept away, and his eyes were shining with moonlight.
"Good! Good grade!"
"The county lord is really a great benefactor of Yancheng, I thank the county lord for the people of Yancheng." As he spoke, Song Qinyu bowed deeply to Shen Ling.
He was emotional, "The king of tomorrow will tell the people about the poisonous Gu, and now they won't be worried about the locust plague."
Shen Ling spent time with Song Qinyu and found that he mingled with the common people, was very enthusiastic about the common people, and had an indifferent attitude towards the businessmen and magnates.
Hearing Song Qinyu's words, Shen Ling smiled and teased, "It's the prince who can't sleep because of the locust plague."
Song Qinyu touched his nose embarrassedly, the people were the ones who were really affected by the locust plague, he was worried about the locust plague, but the people were not far behind.
Seeing that the poisonous Gu had taken effect, Shen Ling's tense body and mind also relaxed, as soon as he was so relaxed, people were prone to laziness, and Shen Ling couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing this, Song Qinyu looked at the sky, "It's late, the county lord has worked hard for so long, he must be tired, so this king won't bother you much."
"Well, the prince walks slowly." As he spoke, Shen Ling covered her mouth with her sleeves and yawned again.
Song Qinyu shook his head and smiled, and walked away.
The next day, Song Qinyu got up early in the morning and wrote down the poisonous Gu devouring locusts to control the locust plague on a piece of paper and posted it at the city gate.
After hearing this, the people who helped Shen Ling catch poisonous insects and find poisonous weeds enthusiastically sent things to Shen Ling, and many people surrounded the door of Shen Ling's small shack, and they thanked Shen Ling one after another.
"Thank you, Lord County, for helping us deal with the locust plague."
"This is a chicken raised at home, the county lord will accept it quickly, the county lord has worked hard these days, but he has to make up for it."
"And this, this is the tea that my sister brought over, the county lord tastes it."
Shen Ling looked at the things they handed to him, crying and laughing, "I don't need these things, you can take them back and keep them for yourself."
The people were not happy, so they forced it into Shen Ling's hands, but Shen Ling didn't accept it, so they put it in Shen Ling's shack, and it didn't take long for the ground of the shack to be filled.
At the same time, the kings of the city are outside the house.
After the subordinate reported, he walked to the study and shouted happily, "Master, the locust plague has been saved!"
The fat on the outside of the king's face was stacked together, and he said excitedly, "Tell me quickly."
"The county lord has refined a poisonous Gu that can devour locusts, so now we don't have to worry about rice being eaten by locusts!"
The subordinates hurriedly told Wang Yuanwai the content of the notice they saw at the city gate, but after Wang Yuanwai heard it, his face instantly turned black.
"Nonsense!"
The subordinate was reprimanded by the king, and he didn't understand why his master looked very angry when he saw it, but he didn't understand that this was obviously a good thing.
I only heard Wang Yuanwai say angrily: "Poisonous Gu Poisonous Gu, this is not a good thing, if you kill the locusts, what should you do if the poisonous insects come to be more difficult to deal with."
The subordinate whispered, "Can ...... But the lord seems to be very fond of this method."
Wang Yuanwai sneered, "The city lord is messing around, and you are also messing around?"
The subordinates didn't dare to talk much, and the city lord had a high reputation in front of the people, but he didn't seem to deal with his own master.
Similar conversations appeared in many people's homes, and the voices of opposition spread far and wide, reaching Shen Ling's ears, Shen Ling didn't have the time to explain one-on-one with those people, she directly found Song Qinyu.
"I don't know if the prince has heard that some people oppose the use of poisonous Gu to control the locust plague."
Song Qinyu originally wanted to tell the people the method earlier, so that they could feel at ease as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to provoke so many people's opposition.
His face was serious, "This king heard about it and was about to find the county lord, but he didn't expect the county lord to come by himself."
Shen Ling didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Help me set up a platform in the middle of the square, and I will explain it to Baixin in person."
"Okay, then I'll leave the matter of convincing the people to the county lord."
Song Qinyu responded on the spot, and the high platform on the square had been built in one morning, and then he sent people to beat gongs and drums to tell the people that Shen Ling would explain the problem of poison Gu on the high platform in the afternoon.
When many people heard this, they put down their affairs and went to the high platform.
Time passed minute by minute, and Song Qinyu appeared on the high platform, "Everyone should have seen the notice posted at the city gate today, that's why they appeared here......
Wan Yaoyao has been living in seclusion in the mountains, and has learned a lot from her master, although the master said that she is ambitious and not good at learning, but Wan Yaoyao doesn't think so.
After leaving the mountain, I heard that there was a handsome and gentle city lord in Yancheng, so he came to Yancheng.
At this moment, she was standing under the stage, looking at Song Qinyu, who was calm and handsome on the stage, and her heart was pounding.
She could no longer hear the voices of the people around her, and her eyes were full of Song Qinyu, and she fell in love with him at first sight.
But it didn't take long for Wan Yaoyao to see a woman walking up next to Song Qinyu, and Song Qinyu was courteous to the woman.
Wan Yaoyao frowned and asked the people standing beside her, "Who is that woman?" Why can you stand next to the lord of the castle?"
The people replied, "That's Shen Ling, the county lord, who has come to help us deal with the locust plague."
"A plague of locusts?" Wan Yaoyao smacked the word in her mouth.
If she can also deal with the locust plague, will the city lord's eyes be on her?
Thinking like this, Wan Yaoyao watched Shen Ling's gaze become more and more unkind.
