Shangguan Ao and the others thought that Liu Zhang did this to attract the emperor's great attention and thought that he was very productive.

They thought that Liu Zhang was a bit fake, and they didn't dare to say it openly.

In the evening, the feast began, accompanied by some young and beautiful women.

The banquet did not end until late at night, and during the banquet, Liu Zhang did not drink a glass of wine.

He said that he was too young to drink, so he used tea instead of wine to pay tribute to the teachers present.

Shangguan Ao and the others were a little drunk, and Hongyunlou arranged for a carriage to send them to their residence.

The king of Chu sent some armor soldiers to protect their safety until they left Chu safely.

Shangguan Ao: Their attitude towards Liu Zhang was a little bad, and they felt a little unbalanced in their hearts.

It rained for a few days in Pengcheng, and the weather was very cool.

But the drought is still going on on the Honghou Kingdom's side, and the Honghou Kingdom has tried its best to put floats on the water surface of the rivers and lakes.

The evaporation of water has decreased a lot, plus the canals dug in recent years.

It can divert water from rivers and lakes into the farmland, and also alleviate the drought of the farmland.

The surrounding counties of Honghou Country did not have such good luck, and they saw black balls on the surface of the rivers and lakes of Honghou Kingdom.

At first, they didn't know what it was for, and there were people patrolling both sides of the lake and river all day.

To prevent someone from stealing the float, the surrounding counties sent people to ask the people of Honghou how to solve the drought?

They only said that they had the blessing of Shennong, and during the spring festival, they worshiped Shennong to express the highest sincerity.

Of course, they knew that it was Liu Zhang who helped them, and the drought lasted for more than a month.

The territory of the Red Marquis Kingdom feels dry and hot, and no matter how much rain falls, irrigating farmland with river and lake water cannot completely solve the problem.

Due to the locust plague caused by the drought, a large number of locusts have appeared in several surrounding counties.

The Red Marquis has long taken measures to prevent locust plagues, and there are people in the fields every day to observe the number of locusts.

The surrounding counties came to Honghou Kingdom to buy medicine to kill locusts, and Chen Yun followed Liu Zhang's instructions.

The locust killer is sold in limited quantities to prevent people from hoarding in large quantities.

If it is sold at a high price, it will make some people pay more money for locust repellent medicine.

Even if you can't buy it, all buyers will sign and press their fingerprints.

Moreover, everyone has a limited amount of purchase within a certain period of time, and the stock of medicine to kill locusts in the Honghou Mansion is no longer high.

In the past two days, Chen Yun had trouble sleeping, and she was worried that the locusts would destroy the crops in the territory of the Red Marquis.

While resting in Qingzhuyuan, Liu Zhang remotely controlled a drone to spray pesticides.

That is, in order to control locusts, drones spray pesticides at night.

The locusts that touch the pesticide-sprayed crops die instantly.

Chen Yun sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Zhang, and there were not many pills to kill locusts in the warehouse.

asked Liu Zhang if there was any way to add, although she had a manual for making materials in her hand.

But now I can't get the ingredients together, and the neem fruit won't ripen until about October.

The guards of the Honghou Mansion rode fast horses to Pengcheng, and it took about three or four days to come and go.

Except for the drought and the impending locust plague in the territory of the Red Marquis, nothing bad happened.

The king of Jiangdu has also stopped recently, and there are no bandits doing evil in the Honghou country.

Liu Sheng walked to Chen Yun's side, and Chen Yun put down the diary in his hand.

During this time, she began to keep a diary, and would write down the events of the previous day.

"Little sister, did you come to me for something?"

Chen Yun saw that Liu Sheng was unhappy, she should have encountered something troublesome.

"Although I am more hopeful of getting engaged, he has always lived near the Honghou Mansion. Whenever he has the chance, he will pester me. ”

"You just want to have a relationship with you because of this. You're about to become husband and wife, and he hasn't done anything excessive. ”

For this matter, Chen Yun is also inconvenient to care.

Zhang Wang has been living in Honghou Country for a while, and invites Liu Sheng to play every once in a while.

Zhang Wang didn't do anything excessive, and it is estimated that he will still have to stay in the Red Marquis Kingdom for a few months.

may be to prevent Liu Sheng and Song Tieniu from continuing to communicate, so as not to affect the marriage of the two families.

"I also have a marriage contract with Lang Jun, and I have a good relationship with him. You have to get along with Zhang Wang more and get to know him better. ”

You can't drive people away, Zhang Wang is indeed to enhance his relationship with Liu Sheng.

"Honestly, I don't really like him. You and your eldest brother have a deep relationship, I know that. ”

Zhang Wang can't compare with her eldest brother, anyway, she just doesn't like Zhang Wang.

"Most men and women who are engaged don't like each other either. It is also for the consolidation of the interests of the two families, and also for the sake of living together. ”

Chen Yun was engaged to Liu Zhang, but she was still a little reluctant.

After a long time, they will get used to it, and their feelings for each other will be deep.

"Let's go out for a walk and see the locusts in the fields, and we must not let the locusts take away a grain of our grain."

Chen Yun stood up, he had planned to go to the field to have a look.

He took his romance and words with him, and heard that the number of locusts had been increasing in the past two days.

The locust repellent pills used in the fields also had a good effect, and the locusts flew in from the surrounding counties.

They left the Honghou Mansion and soon came to their own fields.

Seeing that the crops in the field are growing well, the pest control has a significant effect during this time.

There were some corpses of pests on the ground, and Chen Yun was wearing a mask.

Smoke fills the fields, and bamboo poles are erected in the fields, and an iron can is placed on the top of the bamboo poles.

In the tin can was a dark green pill, and the pill was burning.

There are also some locusts flying around, not too few in number, not too much.

Maybe in a day or two, the locusts will be even more numerous.

When there is a great drought, there will be a plague of locusts, which will make the situation even worse for the people who cultivate the land.

What needs to be done has been done, hopefully to alleviate the damage caused by locusts to crops.

"You also come to see the situation in the fields, and the locusts are estimated to be no more in a few days."

Zhang Wang came over with the guards, and he also looked around the field.

The situation of the Marquis of Quyang is not much better, and it is just during this time to learn the management experience of the Red Marquis.

"The locust plague may be very serious this year, and I heard that the drought and locust plague in the Central Plains last year were particularly fierce."

Chen Yun also heard about it, and the imperial court also tried all kinds of ways to deal with it.

In the end, it had little effect, and I don't know how effective the method he used could be.

"Now there are not many of these locusts, I have a hunch. In the next day or two, locusts will fly all over the world. ”

Someone has to patrol all day, and everyone is prepared.

She has already written a letter to send someone to Liu Zhang quickly, and hopes to receive a reply soon.

Last year, the Red Marquis was quite smooth, and this year is a huge test for the Red Marquis.

She Lang Jun is not at home, she wants to take care of this home for Lang Jun.

"Your Quyang Marquis is also affected by drought and locust plagues, won't you go back to help?"

Chen Yun thinks that he will only waste time here, and he has also learned some ways to prevent it.

"It's the same if I don't go back or not, and the Marquis of Quyang has also taken measures. I'll learn a little more here, and I won't trouble you. ”

Looking at Liu Sheng, she stood beside Chen Yun without saying a word.

"Then you should study hard, maybe you will enter the court as an official and solve problems for Your Majesty."

Zhang Wang heard Chen Yun say this, and he also knew how great his ability was.

It is a bit difficult to enter the court as an official, as long as he does not make mistakes.

In the future, he will be able to inherit his father's title smoothly, and he wants to have a good relationship with the Red Marquis.

This is of great benefit to the Marquis of Quyang, waiting for Liu Sheng to get married.

He will stay in the Red Marquis Kingdom to prevent Liu Sheng from becoming closer to Song Tieniu.

"In the spring and March of this year, you, the Marquis of Quyang, refused to help the Marquis of Hong. Do you remember that? ”

Liu Sheng remembered this incident, when the Red Marquis was in a predicament.

The nobles and wealthy merchants of several surrounding counties refused to help the Red Marquis, and the Quyang Marquis was among them.

"It's really our fault, and nothing like this will ever happen in the future."

Zhang Wang can only take the initiative to admit his mistakes and make a good impression on them.

The Marquis of Quyang was blacklisted by Liu Zhang, don't want to get more help from him.

Liu Zhang didn't really want his sister to marry Zhang Wang, but the marriage had already been decided.

When Liu Sheng got married, he bought her a rich dowry.

Let those people in the Hou Mansion of Quyang not dare to bully her easily, let them know.

Liu Sheng has a strong mother's family to rely on, so it's best not to bully her.

Chen Yun didn't want to continue talking about this matter, she wanted to work with everyone to prevent and control the locust plague.

It can't affect this year's autumn harvest, and Zhang Wang will not return to the Marquis of Quyang.

Then let him be, as long as it doesn't affect the Honghou Mansion.

Chen Yun continued to observe in the field, and her bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

In the past two days, we should focus on the situation in the fields, hoping to exterminate all the locusts.
