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

There were so many locusts that the livestock were frightened.

Some of the stalks broke their ropes and ran around.

The rice in the fields, which was originally green and yellow, was eaten up by locusts in an instant, leaving countless people in despair.

The locusts in the plague lost their gentle temperament and became extremely ferocious. They ate crops like devils, leaving the bare fields as if mocking humans.

When Sun Biao saw the ferocious locusts, the string of reason in his mind was completely broken.

He hurriedly ran out of the city gate, his eyes bloodshot.

He could not accept that the crops that the people under his rule had worked so hard to grow were about to be harvested, but in the blink of an eye, not even a leaf was left.

"Nothing. Nothing. All gone."

"What are you all doing here? Hurry up and catch these things."

After Sun Biao finished shouting at the top of his lungs, his face suddenly turned pale and his chest heaved violently as if it was about to explode.

Even so, Sun Biao stared at the locust with flaming eyes, and as his anger gradually reached its peak, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Not yet... not yet."

"Sir, you..."

"puff--"

Sun Biao spat out a large mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.

Sun Biao suddenly vomited blood, and the air around him seemed to freeze. The people around him looked at him in horror.

Not only did the yamen runners get scared, but even the other four county magistrates turned pale.

Chaos!

Now everything is messed up!

His hatred for the locusts reached its peak. Sun Biao waved his hands and stomped his feet. Soon, the soles of his shoes and the ground were covered with splattered juice residue.

Perhaps feeling that this was not enough, Sun Biao picked up his tools and rushed out of the city gate.

The people outside the city gate watched as their hard work of more than half a year vanished in an instant. They felt helplessness and grief, and many of them knelt on the ground crying.

"Oh... God, please leave us some chance to survive."

"Damn bugs, you ate my food, I'm going to kill you."

"Without food, how are we going to survive?"

Some people were so desperate that they had lost the ability to move, but most people were still trying to drive away the locusts.

However, the number of locusts was too large. All the strength of the people combined was just a drop in the bucket and could not have any impact on the locusts at all.

The county magistrates of Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, and Gugang County also followed to the outside of the city. The stench of locust excrement mixed with the smell of locusts in the air was so strong that they wanted to vomit.

Sun Biao was stunned as he looked at the locusts that were increasing in number instead of decreasing in number.

"Bam—"

He knelt down.

It’s wrong. It’s totally wrong. It’s outrageously wrong.

He shouldn't have been so blindly confident, thinking that Yang Zhijin was just a young boy and not believing that there would be a locust plague. He even pushed away the 10,000 ducks given by Yang Zhijin.

If he had known this earlier, he would have been prepared. It's too late to say anything now.

……

Wuning County!

After Yang Zhijin came back, he made preparations according to Li Mengyue's suggestions and waited for the locust army to arrive.

Yang Zhijin, dressed in casual clothes, was holding the latest capture net made by the carpenter.

Standing at the city gate, looking up at the sky.

In addition to him, all the runners in the county government were also ready with catching nets in their hands, ready to give the approaching locust army a head-on blow.

"Master!"

Yang Run ran to Yang Zhijin, panting.

"How's it going?"

"Master, at the beginning many people were unwilling to harvest, but Miss Li sent someone to explain the situation, and most people believed it."

After hearing this, Yang Zhijin's understanding of Li Mengyue rose to a higher level.

In fact, he asked Yang Run to issue a notice to all villages and towns to harvest the rice in advance.

But he was not very sure, because during his time in Wuning County, he really understood the lives of the people.

The poor people, who have not had enough food all year round, are too obsessed with the food in the fields to an abnormal degree.

Nowadays, it only takes a dozen days for the rice to fully mature. Who would be willing to take it home early and suffer the loss in vain?

Not to mention the common people, even he himself was somewhat resistant.

But he also knew that the locust plague was no joke and if he was not careful he would end up with nothing.

Compared to not seeing a single grain of food, just harvesting less is acceptable.

Although he knew about this matter, the people in the county did not know it. If he told them that there was a locust plague and the rice had to be taken back, it would not only fail to achieve the goal but would also cause panic.

Therefore, when he asked Yang Run to do this, he took a tough attitude. No matter who it was, they had to be harvested, and no exceptions were allowed. Otherwise, they would be thrown directly into jail.

People are naturally afraid of officials, so this way, there will be relatively less resistance.

But this was not enough, and unexpectedly Miss Li took action again.

In fact, Li Mengyue knew very well that even if the government stepped in, it would be impossible to make all the villagers in the county willing to harvest the crops.

So she visited the villagers in the seven villages and told them the seriousness of the matter as long as they had relatives in the surrounding towns and villages.

With the government's notification and the special notification from relatives, and through a combination of soft and hard tactics, the people in other villages and towns no longer harbored any hope and went to harvest rice honestly.

More than half a day had passed since the locust vanguard arrived. Following what happened in Mengchuan County, more and more locusts flew towards Wuning County.

"Master, why do I feel like there are more locusts?"

"You're not wrong. What are you waiting for? Catch him now!"

After saying that, Yang Zhijin took the lead in picking up the capture net.

But before he could catch a locust, he heard someone calling, "Master Yang."

Looking closely, they were the Magistrate of Lanlong County, the Magistrate of Wujiang County, the Magistrate of Huangyao County, the Magistrate of Shuimo County, the Magistrate of Gugang County and the Magistrate of Mengchuan County, Sun Biao.

After Mengchuan County was ravaged by the locust vanguard, Sun Biao once wanted to commit suicide to escape responsibility.

He was stopped by the Wujiang County Magistrate and the Huangyao County Magistrate, who tried to persuade him and mentioned Yang Zhijin.

Sun Biao thought of the little duck he had rejected, and disdained Yang Zhijin's reminder. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Then he rushed to Wuning County without saying a word to see if Yang Zhijin had any good ideas.

Yang Zhijin saw the miserable state of Sun Biao and other county magistrates and was startled, knowing that something bad had happened.

"Master Sun, what are you doing?"

"Master Yang, I am short-sighted and did not listen to you. Mengchuan County has fallen. We want to see if you have any good ideas."

When Yang Zhijin heard the news that Mengchuan had fallen, he became extremely angry.

But he knew that now was not the time to argue, and the important thing was to find a way to stop the locusts.

The other four county magistrates also stepped forward.

"Yes, Lord Yang, we also want to learn from you."
