Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Sun Biao, the magistrate of Mengchuan County, was a capable man. He had worked diligently for twelve years, had not extorted money from the people, and had handled matters fairly, so he had a good reputation in the local area.

The sun was shining brightly. Sun Biao was standing outside, looking at the sunlight that could directly roast eggs. He didn't care about the sweat on his body and felt very anxious.

He always felt that something big was going to happen, but after thinking about it again and again, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

No, that's not right. Yesterday, his servants reported that someone was spreading rumors of a locust plague in the county, and he scoffed after hearing it.

Compared with previous years, the weather this year is a bit abnormal and it has not rained.

He had ordered people to pray for rain three times, but perhaps because their sincerity was not enough, God did not receive their requests and not a drop of rain fell. It was sunny every day as usual.

"What happened?"

Sun Biao covered his pounding heart and was extremely panicked.

"My lord, my lord..."

Hearing the visitor shouting, Sun Biao's brows were furrowed into knots.

He started scolding without waiting for the person to speak.

"That's what I taught you. Stay calm when things happen. Don't panic. There is a solution to everything. Why panic?"

Then he asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My lord, locusts...locusts...are coming."

"Pfft."

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Biao, who was slumped on the ground, seemed to be under a spell, maintaining the same posture without moving at all.

After a while, he finally recovered and said cautiously, "This is serious."

"Sir, if it's true or not, you can find out if you go out and take a look."

"Buzz!"

A few locusts flew into the yard, and Sun Biao looked at the locusts, which were the size of his little finger.

Of course I understand. Yang Zhijin is right. There will indeed be a locust plague.

Two months ago, Yang Zhijin sent a letter saying that there might be a locust plague, and sent someone to deliver 10,000 ducklings, saying that they could eat a lot of locusts.

What did he say at that time? He was indeed a young man from a wealthy family. When he heard that it was Yu, he really took himself seriously.

He came in front of him and acted like a big-nosed elephant. He had walked more roads than Yang Zhijin had eaten salt.

He didn't think there would be a locust plague, so he rejected the duckling.

Now looking at the locusts flying around, he really wanted to go back to the past and slap himself a few times.

"Hurry, help me up. I'm going to find Yang Zhijin to see if he has any way to kill the locusts."

The person who came to report, seeing that his master was so frightened that his face turned pale, couldn't help but wonder, wasn't it said that one should be calm and not make a fuss when encountering things?

When people heard about the locust plague, they were all scared like me.

No, he was even more frightened than him. At least he was able to run over to report the news, while the master was sitting on the ground and couldn't get up.

The servant had just helped Sun Biao up and was about to go out and take a carriage to find Wuning County when he heard someone calling him.

“Brother Sun, Brother Sun!”

Sun Biao turned his head and saw that except for the Lanlong County Magistrate and the Wuning County Magistrate, the other four county magistrates of Qingshan Prefecture were all there.

And everyone looked unhappy.

The magistrate of Wujiang County was so frightened when he thought of the large number of locusts he saw that he was almost out of his wits and has not recovered yet.

At this time, the magistrate of Huangyao County said bluntly: "Brother Sun, something big has happened. It's really something big."

Shuimo County took over the conversation.

"Look to the south."

The five county magistrates all looked towards the southern sky at the same time, where dark clouds were moving rapidly.

Sun Biao swallowed hard, feeling the warmth of the sun. He knew in his heart that there couldn't be dark clouds and it wouldn't rain.

There is only one possibility left, that the rolling black cloud is an army of locusts.

The first words that the Wujiang County Magistrate said after he came to his senses were spoken through gritted teeth.

"Fuck, Yang Zhijin guessed it right."

"It seems that this locust plague is difficult to avoid!"

"I don't think so." After experiencing the initial shock, Sun Biao has been seriously thinking about countermeasures.

"Brother Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Biao's face was always gloomy. He knew the priorities of the matter. He was not afraid of being slapped in the face by Yang Zhijin. The most important thing was how to solve the locust plague.

Under his diligent governance, Mengchuan County was on the verge of surpassing Lanlong, the largest county in Qingshan. However, it was eventually hit by a locust plague.

"Master Sun!"

Sun Biao was startled. Not only he, but also the other four county magistrates present felt their hearts sink when they saw the person coming.

As expected, the visitor said without hesitation: "The prefect has ordered that the locust plague is coming in full force and every county may be affected. The county magistrate must use any method to establish a blocking circle to prevent the locusts from moving north. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed without mercy."

The five people at the scene shuddered suddenly under the power of these words. This person was the most influential person around the prefect. It seemed that this locust plague was not only related to the future lives of the people in the county, but also closely related to the lives of each of them.

"Sir Sun, oh, the other county magistrates are here too, did you hear it clearly?"

"I understand!"

Well, now it’s not a matter of whether they take the initiative or not, but they must intercept the locusts, otherwise this day next year will be their death anniversary.

Then Sun Biao pushed away the support of his men, turned around and walked towards the hall.

"Quickly notify the county chief clerk, assistant officials, subordinate officials, and teaching staff to come to discuss the matter. If I don't see them after a cup of tea, I will immediately dismiss them and investigate."

"Yes, my lord."

Sun Biao knew that no matter what happened now, he had to put it aside for the time being, and the most important thing was to solve the locust problem.

After all, as long as they can't hold the defense line, the people under the jurisdiction of these county magistrates will fall into great despair and have no way to survive when the grain harvest fails.

He has worked hard for so many years and finally made Mengchuan County's economy develop rapidly, but he cannot let this locust plague disrupt this situation.

Perhaps, what they need to do now, in addition to finding ways to kill the locusts, is to also be prepared. Once their counties are unable to stop them, they must also think of response measures in advance and how to properly resettle the affected people.

In less than an incense stick of time, all the personnel were present and obeyed Sun Biao's command.

Sun Biao didn't waste any words and said directly: "The locust plague is coming. If you want to survive, you must hold on at all costs. Let people prepare things to catch locusts. No matter what, the goal is to stop the locusts."

"Yes, sir." Everyone shouted.

It was a pity that before they even walked out of the county government office, the sky, which had previously allowed the sun to be seen, turned dark, as if the end of the world had come.

At this moment everyone had the same thought.

"Oh no, the locust army is coming."

Sun Biao naturally also noticed the sky and looked up stiffly.

The entire sky was covered by a swarm of locusts, and the originally sunny day turned dark.

Such a shocking scene will be unforgettable for him in his life.
