"That's it! Don't think too much about it! I've got a way to deal with locusts! ”

With that, he clapped his hands vigorously, and the two catchers quickly used sticks to bring over a flaming iron basin.

The county magistrate took out two strings of locusts from his cuffs and roasted them in front of everyone.

Xu Boyi looked at Yan Yuhan and nodded with satisfaction.

"Everything must be done, this strict county order is really a good and responsible official!"

The people on the side heard Xu Boyi's praise and patted him on the shoulder with a proud smile.

"Brother, come from outside, this is our county order of Xiping County, a really good county order! With him, we are not afraid of locusts at all. ”

Xu Boyi smiled, but he smelled a foul smell, and when he sniffed it carefully, it was on his shoulder!

Seeing Xu Boyi frowning and looking at his shoulder, the man stomped his foot and patted his thigh!

"Hey! Forgot! I just cleaned up the pig manure in the pigsty, the shovel knob was broken, and I touched my hand... I'm sorry I haven't had time to wash it yet, brother! ”

After speaking, the man hurriedly left, leaving Xu Boyi alone in the wind....

At this time, the locusts in Yan County's hand were almost roasted.

"Do you smell the scent of this locust?"

"I smell it, Yan County Order, but can this locust eat it! I've heard that you've eaten people to death. ”

"Yikes! Don't talk nonsense, don't you see, there are a lot of people on the streets today catching locusts! It should be fine. ”

The people have different opinions, some think they can eat it, and some think they can't eat it.

Yan Yuhan smiled slightly, and put a roasted Su Huang crispy locust into his mouth.

"Everyone can eat with confidence, it tastes very good! It's about the same as chicken and pork, and there are so many locusts! Let's catch it, fry it, store it, and eat it slowly! Wait until all the locusts are eaten! We will no longer be afraid of locust plagues! ”

Although Yan County's words sound a little unrealistic, but if you think about it, even if you have more locusts, can you still have more locusts than the people? A common man eats dozens of locusts a day, maybe the locusts caught are not enough to eat!

"But Lord Prefectural, how are we going to catch locusts! So many locusts crossing the border are almost terrifying. ”

The people are also very worried, after all, there are so many locusts, maybe they can eat people cleanly.

"Don't worry! I have a solution, but I need you all to call your family to help! ”

After Yan County's order was finished, everyone waved and applauded.

"That's fine! Yan County Order, we believe in you! What do you say! ”

"That's right! Yan County Order, just say, I asked my son to come and help! ”

Seeing this opportunity, Xu Boyi walked near the notice board and posted the notice, but the people were waiting for Yan County's order to speak, and no one noticed the notice he posted at all.

"Listen, everyone, now a group of 100 people! After the division is completed, the team leader will be elected, and I will arrange it! ”

"Yes!"

With the help of all the catchers and heads, the 5,000 people were successfully divided into 50 teams, and the soldiers who defended the city also formed a team of 100 people.

The 26th team dug trenches, the 25th team went up the mountain to collect firewood and chop firewood, and in the county town, except for the babies in swaddling clothes and the elderly who could not work, stayed at home, the rest of the people went outside the city.

Yan Xian Ling stood on the hillside in the distance, looking at the long queue composed of crowds, and admired the people in his heart.

"Dad, can you see if this plan is okay?"

Yan Shan handed the drawings he had drawn to Yan County Order.

"Hmmm! Not bad! This drawing is also available, and now the trenches have begun to be dug, but I don't know when this locust will come, and I don't know if the cloth that Miss Ling said will arrive! ”

Although Yan Xianling knew that Ling Xiaoxiao had some skills, so many pieces of cloth were not a small amount.

"Dad, don't worry about this, since Miss Ling dares to agree, she should be fully prepared."

Yan Xianling looked at the tired people and nodded silently.

At this time, in the restaurant, Ling Xiaoxiao and the others were also full of food and drink.

"Xiaoxiao, do you really have that much cloth? Once this locust crosses, it is not a small number. ”

Chen Hao was a little worried about Ling Xiaoxiao, if this couldn't be completed, wouldn't he become a sinner for the people?

After thinking about it, he didn't have any cloth business, although the cloth shop in the county bought it, but the cloth was simply insignificant.

Seeing Chen Hao's worried frown, Ling Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and laughed.

"Okay, don't worry, I naturally have enough cloth to dare to say something like that."

"But where are the cloths? We don't have a lot of fabric on our ox carts. ”

At this time, Xiao Ling looked at Chen Hao and shouted twice.

"Wow!"

[You don't care about women's affairs, it's all secrets. 】

As if he understood Xiao Ling's words, Chen Hao smiled helplessly and went downstairs.

"Chen Lie! How's that going with the things you investigated the other day? ”

"General, I have caught all the refugees who let the snakes, they were sent by the Qian family, the reason is because the eldest lady of the Qian family lost the fight with Miss Ling, I have already sent someone to control the Qian family, and the house has been raided!"

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction, as long as it was someone who dared to hurt Ling Xiaoxiao, he would definitely investigate it to the end, no matter who that person was, he would have to pay a terrible price!

"And where did those poisonous snakes come from?"

Chen Lie took a step forward, put it in Chen Hao's ear and said softly:

"It was given to an old woman who specializes in cultivating poisons, and I have already disposed of her, and the poisons have been burned clean in a fire."

"Hmmm! That's good, there's one more thing you can check for me,"

"What's the matter, the general just orders."

Chen Hao rubbed his forehead, and then spoke:

"Check around, buy me any cloth, the more the better! No matter what the price, I want it. ”

Although Chen Lie was puzzled, he still nodded.

"Got it, General."

After the Ling family had eaten enough, they wanted to go shopping on the street, but they walked back after walking a short distance.

"It's strange, why is there no one on this street today? What did the people do? ”

Cheng Dalei on the side was also speechless, is it so difficult to eat a bowl of noodles? Or is it because he puts more chili peppers every time and is seen by the vendor?

"Really! On such a good day, why don't you even do business! It's ridiculous! ”

After Cheng Dalei finished speaking, he approached the house dissatisfied and lay down on the bunk.

"Guest officer, you guys just rest in the shop, everyone has already left the city, I heard that it was the county magistrate who called everyone to catch locusts, and they all picked up firewood and hoeed the ground, and I am ready to go out now."

After speaking, the boss walked out of the restaurant with a hoe, leaving everyone in the house in a daze.

"Hoe? Picking up firewood? Catching locusts? ”

Ling Zhan was very interested, but his father would definitely not allow him to go.

"Second sister, eldest brother, why don't we go and see if we can help anything, it's boring to stay here anyway...."

Seeing his younger brother's eager eyes, Ling Tian was a little moved, he had eaten and slept enough in the past few days, and he had eaten enough, it was indeed too boring, it was better to do some farm work!

Before Ling Tian could speak, Ling Xiaoxiao walked down from the second floor, and when he saw Chen Hao and his father and mother sitting on chairs, he said:

"Mother, uncle, aunt, why don't you go outside the city to help collect firewood, and when the time comes, we can also share some locusts!" It can also be used as dry food on the road! ”

“？？？”

Cheng Dalei glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao with disdain, you have so many things to eat in your bag, and you still need to eat locusts?!
