However, the six women all had their own standards. Before, Li Mengyue was willing to pay them a high wage of ten cents a day to let them work at home, and each of them was very grateful in their hearts.

They secretly made a decision in their hearts that no matter when Li Mengyue needed them, each of them would stand up without hesitation.

What's more, now we are just giving up catching locusts and earning less money.

The most important point is that they all have high hopes for Li Mengyue and her future development will definitely not stop in Xinghua Village.

Now they are supporting Li Mengyue, and when there is a chance in the future, they believe that Li Mengyue will not treat any of them unfairly.

Li Mengyue saw a few aunts and sisters, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, she would give corresponding compensation.

The people present were extremely excited when they saw baskets of copper coins being unloaded from the truck.

boom!

Now no one doubted it anymore.

"My God, there are so many locusts. Let alone 100 catties, even 200 or 300 catties can be obtained with the concerted efforts of the whole family. One catty is five cents, 100 catties is 500 cents, 200 catties is one tael of silver, and 300 catties is one and a half taels of silver. Hiss! Let alone one or two taels, we can earn 500 cents a day. If it were yesterday, I would not have dared to think about it!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Boss, there is no time for idle talk now. Hurry up and help me. My net bag is full."

"Okay, I'll put it on right away."

Li Mengyue saw how everyone was catching and killing locusts before, and although they were trying very hard, it was still not as good as it is now.

It seems that money is still powerful. Everyone started killing locusts like crazy.

When the ducks saw that people were as if they were injected with chicken blood and were faster than them, they immediately became dissatisfied.

They are the natural enemies of locusts. These locusts are their food. Why should the people compete with them?

The ducks of course don’t know that what they see as food has become white money in the eyes of people.

It can be said that what everyone present saw were no longer locusts, but the net income for one year or even two or three years.

Yang Zhijin and the five county magistrates were also shocked by Li Mengyue's generosity. They didn't expect that the locusts that brought despair to countless people could also become a way to make a fortune.

At this moment, the way the five county magistrates looked at Yang Zhijin changed. It was no longer contempt, but envy, jealousy and hatred.

How come there is no such generous person in their county? It is so lucky that Yang Zhijin met him.

They also wanted Li Mengyue to be in their own county, so the five county magistrates turned their attention to Li Mengyue.

Everyone's eyes were sparkling, as if they had seen some great treasure.

Li Mengyue naturally did not ignore the burning gazes, and she also knew who these five people were.

After all, when she teleported to each county town, she also went to the county government office and told them the news.

As a result, not only did no one believe her, they also arbitrarily charged her with disturbing the public order and wanted to arrest her.

Fortunately, she went to another county and did not show her true face, otherwise it would be embarrassing now.

Li Mengyue ignored the five county magistrates, and the system started shouting in the space.

【Tuanzi, what's wrong? 】

[Host, come quickly, enter the space quickly. ]

Since binding with the system, I rarely see the system so anxious.

So Li Mengyue did not dare to delay at all, and her consciousness immediately entered the space.

Seeing that the system was fine and nothing happened, Li Mengyue turned her gaze to the little tiger cub, the king of kings.

The King of Kings has basically been staying with Tuanzi these days, and they have become very familiar with each other.

Seeing that the King of Kings was fine, Li Mengyue didn’t think that the system was playing tricks on her.

[Tuanzi, what happened? 】

[Host, didn't you see it? ]

【What? 】

[Silver, I'm afraid we don't have enough silver. ]

After hearing this, Li Mengyue finally understood why the system was shouting. Of course, the money was not enough, as there were large expenses in the near future such as helping disaster victims and purchasing locusts.

But money is not so easy to earn. If she had not gotten a few boxes of jewelry and collected locusts from Landlord Huang's house before, she would not have been so generous to offer a price of five cents per pound.

Although I made some money from the locust business before, it was all small business. I only earned more than two hundred taels, which was of no great use.

Besides, there were five county magistrates on the scene. Since she collected the locusts from her own county, it would be inappropriate for her to favor one over the other and not collect those from other counties.

It looks like these boxes of jewelry will be used up in a short time.

No, we still have to find a way to raise some money, otherwise we won’t be able to support the initial work of helping the victims.

However, the most important thing now is to purchase locusts. This will not only inspire people to a certain extent and prevent them from falling into despair, but also prepare for her next arrangements.

The ducks and the villagers worked together to stop the first wave of locusts without any major problems.

Even if there are locusts again in the future, everyone has experience, and even without the participation of ducks, it is estimated that not too many locusts will be released.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, locusts = money.

Of course, one thing is certain: after the first wave of locusts passes, there will definitely be a gap of several days before the next wave arrives.

This not only gives everyone a chance to catch their breath, but also allows them to continue making more tools for catching locusts.

When the next wave of locusts arrives, we will be able to deal with it more calmly.

But she couldn't stay in Wuning County. She had to take the duck army to other counties, continue the expedition, and slowly split up the locust army.

Once the main force is eliminated, the remaining small groups of locusts will not be able to cause any trouble and can be easily dealt with by the local people.

Although her command of chickens and ducks to kill locusts has become known to more and more people, she is easily regarded as an outsider and her job is somewhat thankless.

But she had no better way to kill the locusts.

She once asked the system if it was possible to get some medicine to spray on the crops. When the locusts smelled it, they would fly away and bypass the sprayed area.

The result was of course no. The system said that the two of them had broken the rules by coming to this world, and it was impossible for them to get things that did not belong to this world.

The system, which could sense Li Mengyue's emotional changes and hear her inner voice, suddenly thought of something.

[Hey, host, you know how to make medicine, right? Why don't you just make some medicine to repel locusts? Why do you need to raise ducks and collect locusts? It's so troublesome. ]

[No, not to mention the medicine I made, locusts will be poisoned if they smell it, and become the source of poison. People who pick them up will also be poisoned. Besides, such a large swarm of locusts requires a lot of medicine, and the medicinal materials alone cannot be consumed. And I also asked at Tongxin Hall, and it is true that they cannot get so many medicinal materials.]

【Oh, well, that's a pity. 】

[It's not a pity. In fact, I'm quite glad that we encountered a locust plague during the period when we were collecting gratitude points. This way, there will be a lot of victims, which gives us room to play, although it's a bit unfair to think so. ]

[Host, even if we don't come, there will still be a locust plague in Qingshan Prefecture. With us, the people of Qingshan Prefecture have more hope of survival. ]

【Um. 】
