The patriarch poured a scoop, and everyone took a breath, and when all the large pieces of mud were watered, someone finally came back to his senses: "Patriarch, is there something in this water to cure locusts?" ”

"Yes," the patriarch stood on a high place and began to say: "Now, our piece and the Henan area are full of locust eggs in the ground, but the court saw it in advance and gave us this miracle medicine......

Although he is not young, he is full of energy when he speaks, and his sentences are sonorous and powerful, which makes people feel at ease when they listen to it.

Mi Bao bowed his head and chatted with the master: "Grandpa the patriarch is a super smart grandfather. ”

Zhou Ziheng nodded and smiled: "Indeed." ”

The patriarch quickly finished the mobilization meeting and assigned the tasks, and each family was divided into households according to the head.

Including the Shen family, tasks were also assigned.

It's not that the patriarch is bold, it was Gan Song who told him in advance, and of course the Fan family also had to participate.

Although there are many shadow guards, they don't do much, just take the shortcomings of the Shen family, Fan Weiquan and Tang Youxiang, after all, their job is to protect Mi Bao.

In addition to the vacant land, there are some locust eggs in the fields, but there are no deep mountains with dense vegetation, but even so, the place in charge of each family is not small, and the strong laborers of the family have to work for at least half a month.

It used to be a big project just to carry water, but fortunately, because there had been two snowfalls in front of it, the well water was also a little stronger, and there was no need to worry about the well drying up.

Because there were a lot of people in the first few days, and there was still a queue to fetch water, the shadow guard was not in a hurry to grab it, and was ready to start work in the first half of the month.

As a result, two days later, Tang Minglu took a drawing and a car, and said to Yan Twelve: "I thought, it's too heavy to carry water, and it's easy to splash when the road is far away, so I made such a car, you can see if you can use it." ”

Yan Twelve took a look, he made a big box with a small mouth and a big belly, there is also a mouth at the bottom, plugged with a stopper, there is a shelf behind it, the front can be pulled, it saves effort to walk a long way, and it is convenient to climb a mountain or something.

They don't care much, but for others, it's very useful.

So Yan Twelve asked someone to rush out ten cars overnight, and let the people in the village take turns to use them, and it was really easy to use after trying it, so after he asked Tang Minglu, he directly gave the drawings to Shen Zhen and posted them everywhere, and they could be imitated everywhere if they were needed.

Here in Taoyuan Village, it has also experienced a locust plague.

There are several old people in the village who have experienced it personally, and in the past few days, they have described it to everyone over and over again.

"I just listened to the rumbling thunder, that sound, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, I felt strange in my heart, so I came out to look, and I saw a big dark cloud coming, I looked up, and suddenly felt that the hair on my face was prickly, and when I looked down, the courtyard was full of locusts, jumping everywhere!! And then that big cloud came, and it was all locusts! Too much, too much! Eating is like thunder, booming, and the locust droppings are falling like rain. ”

This kind of appearance of the people around you, everyone can empathize with it, no matter how many times you say it, there will be people around to listen, because you are afraid, so you are doubly active in your work.

It was only more than half a month, and someone poured out the large piece of land that was assigned to him, shoveled a few pieces at random to see, and the locust eggs were all dead, so the shadow guard inserted the small sign he took from the county office, which was considered to have passed the acceptance.

The patriarch had already set up the words with Gansong, and after pouring them first, the family went to the patriarch, and received a potato according to the head of each person, twenty catties, and taught them how to eat and plant, and also set the words.

The patriarch told them that this was last year, when Tang Youxiang went up the mountain, and then I and the village doctor accompanied Tang Youxiang's family up the mountain, dug it up and tried planting, and found that it was very drought tolerant...... Wait a minute.

Then let everyone say that the whole village went together, and the whole village planted it together...... True and false are mixed in half.

The patriarch is very good at doing this kind of work, and even coaxes and scares, so he tells them that as long as they fool the people of the government, they can still give some seeds when the time comes, and if they say something about leaking their mouths, it will be over, and there will be no seeds in the whole village.

Everyone was immediately very concerned, not only remembered, but also spontaneously added details: "Hey, that place is far away, and we are tired of carrying it!" ”

"The first time I ate it, I was scared, I was afraid of poison, but when I ate it, it was delicious!"

There is a saying that a lie is repeated a hundred times and it becomes the truth, anyway, as more and more people complete it, the more people say it, the more they feel that this is the truth!!

Although Mi Bao's family has just started watering the ground and has not yet received potatoes, they have already opened a small stove, and the shredded potatoes and potato chips are fried in turns every day.

The cook of the Shen family also fried French fries for her under the guidance of Mi Bao, and Mi Bao and Shangguan Xingzhen sat in front of the gate with a plate for each person, dipping them in tomato sauce and eating them.

Mi Bao is a typical big eye and small belly, and he can't eat half a plate, so he handed the plate to Ding Qi, with red tomato sauce on his lips, and his little face was full of melancholy: "Alas!! ”

Yan San knew at first glance that Tuanzi was thinking about his friends again, and quickly proposed: "Little master, my subordinates will take you to see Mr. Zhou practice swords?" ”

However, today's master is not fragrant, and the fat tuanzi said sadly: "Why hasn't my wife come back yet." And my father is not at home, my brother is not at home, and my uncle is not at home. It's not lively anymore. ”

Yan San hurriedly said: "His Highness is busy at this time, His Highness is in charge of such a large area, he has to first gather the officials from every place, and then arrange for them to work...... It's a very difficult job, not only to divide the medicine, but also to do a lot of things. ”

He peeked at Tuanzi and listened carefully, so he said: "For example, when these people come back, how to settle them, there are still many places where there are few people, or if they don't come back, they have to arrange for the army to go over, so many people have to eat every day, and the horses have to eat grass...... It's a hassle alone. I heard that His Royal Highness has issued a notice to buy grain from private grain merchants...... Little master, don't you know, these grain merchants are very picky, and they don't sell them for money, just for this one thing, Your Highness worries every day......

In fact, Yan San mainly wanted to express that His Highness was very busy, and we couldn't go if we couldn't come back...... This means, but Mi Bao has quickly grasped the point: "My wife has no food, why don't you say it?!" ”

She asked him, "Didn't my uncle give them food?" ”

Yan San was stunned for a moment: "Fan, Fan Zhuangshi?" Should there be? ”

"That uncle must be out of stock," Mi Bao stood up, put his hands back, and patted the ash on his little buttocks: "Then let's go to Beauty Villa." ”

When Yan San handed over, he also heard about Meirenzhuang, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what the little master is doing in Meirenzhuang?" Subordinates can do it for them. ”

Fat Tuanzi shook his head, "No, you can't do it for you, Mi Bao has to go by himself." ”

Shangguan Xing chattered about a piece of French fries and stood up: "Go see your friends." ”

Yes, you can also go to see the cat's friends, so Mi Bao looked at Yan San: "Then let's go now, right?" ”

She also enlightened him: "My wife can't buy food if she wants to, how pitiful!" The emperor's grandfather has said, we are a gang, we must help, support him, and not let his wife fight alone. ”

Yan San was fooled and lame on the spot: "The subordinates will arrange the carriage immediately." ”
