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

The next day, Li Mengyue led a large army of ducks to Wujiang County, accompanied by villagers from seven villages in Qingshan Town.

The locust plague arrived as expected.

Due to the experience accumulated in locust control in Wuning County and Lanlong County, this time in Wujiang County, as soon as the locust army arrived, it was surrounded and blocked by the people and ducks.

The locusts were stunned as they had a smooth journey and ate wherever they went.

They didn't know what was going on, but they could hear the screams of their fellow creatures all the time.

All the locusts now have only one belief, which is to escape, escape quickly.

But under the experienced duck's mouth, the probability of escape is almost zero.

Basically all the locusts that fly near the ducks become food in the ducks' stomachs.

"Quack quack!"

"Quack quack!"

"Quack quack!"

The ducks had a big meal in Lanlong County and had digested everything after one night.

My stomach was growling with hunger, and seeing so many locusts, how could I let them go? I ate them happily.

The ducks were eating happily, and the people of Wujiang County saw the notice early in the morning.

It was said that a locust plague was about to strike, and people from all over the county had to come out to catch locusts. The caught locusts were collected by people at five cents a pound. Even if they did not sell them, they could keep them for their own consumption.

Everyone who saw the notice went crazy and hurried home to prepare tools to catch locusts.

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In less than an hour, the people of the entire Wujiang County knew that locusts were not only edible, but could also be sold for money.

They were all fully armed and stood in an open area with nets, waiting for the locusts to arrive.

Before the locust swarm arrived, everyone was talking about the price of locusts at five cents per pound.

It’s not that they have never seen the world, it’s just that the news that locusts can be sold for money is too exciting.

If the county government hadn’t posted the notice, no one would have believed it and would have thought it was a rumor.

However, with the official announcement, people from all over the county took action. Even children who had just learned to walk took small bamboo baskets to their homes, trying to catch all the locusts that were straying.

Soon the locusts flying towards Wujiang County arrived in Wujiang, and a nationwide locust eradication campaign began.

Because Wujiang County Magistrate Wu Zhen was in Wuning County and Lanlong County, he witnessed the whole process of people and ducks catching locusts.

I learned from Li Mengyue that Wujiang County was about to face a locust plague. I did not dare to delay and immediately returned to Wujiang.

After that, we will gather people and make arrangements so that we won’t be in a panic when the locust plague comes.

Li Mengyue, who was sitting on the side, gave orders to the four duck captains, Xiaogong, Xiaoxi, Xiaofa and Xiaocai, and then stopped caring about them.

The seven village heads have been working together for some time and have developed a tacit understanding. Each of them leads the villagers to collect the locusts, set up the pots, and process the locusts. Everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Mengyue doesn't have to worry about anything.

[Hey, aren't those people from Lanlong County? ]

Li Mengyue heard the system's mumbling and immediately looked over.

Aren’t the ones walking in front the Lanlong County’s County Magistrate Zhong Sen and County Lieutenant Jiang Zhong?

Seeing the people following behind, all holding catching nets, burlap bags and large backpacks, Li Mengyue's mouth twitched.

There’s nothing else I don’t understand about this.

[Host, could it be that they have caught all the locusts in Lanlong County and are coming here to catch those in Wujiang County?]

【Um. 】

Seeing the people of Lanlong County ready to do something big, she felt a little sorry for the locust swarm.

Soon, the people of Lanlong County joined the team in catching locusts.

It is easy for ordinary people to communicate with each other.

At the beginning, the people of Wujiang were very grateful to the people of Lanlong, thanking them for taking the trouble and traveling a long way to help them.

As a result, within a quarter of an hour, all the people in Wujiang knew that the people of Lanlong were not only helping to catch locusts, but also selling them for money.

As a result, an outrageous scene appeared at the locust plague site. The people of the two counties were happily catching locusts.

When the people of Wujiang learned that the locusts caught by the people of Lanlong would also be sold, they felt uncomfortable.

These are locusts from Wujiang County. How can people from Lanlong County sell them for money?

No, absolutely not.

Wu Zhen saw that the swarm of locusts was still flying towards him, his brows were furrowed and he muttered to himself.

"Why do I see that the locust swarm is larger than that in Lanlong County?"

Li Mengyue also discovered this problem. The locust swarms passing through Wujiang County were more than twice as many as those in Lanlong County.

【Host, there are too many locusts. 】

【I know. 】

Seeing that the people of Lanlong County were bravely catching locusts, Li Mengyue felt that it was not a big problem.

After all, for the common people, a pound of locusts is five cents, and they will never be lazy if they can catch one more pound.

However, what Li Mengyue did not expect was that the people of Wujiang believed that these locusts belonged to their county, and the people of Lanlong County were not qualified to catch them and sell them for money.

When the people of Lanlong first arrived, the people of Wujiang were extremely moved.

Once their own interests were involved, they instantly forgot about the intention to help and only remembered that the people of Blue Dragon wanted to sell their locusts for money. How could this be possible?

While Zhong Sen, Jiang Zhong and Wu Zhen were greeting each other, the mayor of Wujiang County came over.

"Meet the county magistrate."

"Stand up, what's wrong with the mayors?"

"Sir, you have to make the decision for the people of our county!"

Wu Zhen was a little confused when he heard this. The people in the county were all catching locusts and thinking about selling them for money. There was no need for him to make any decisions.

"What do you mean, please explain clearly."

"Sir, you don't know that the people of Lanlong County are so unkind."

In front of Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong from Lanlong County, he spoke ill of the people in that county and his face turned red.

The key point is that several mayors didn’t notice Wu Zhen’s ugly expression at all, and just kept talking about how bad the people of Lanlong were.

"Alright, the people of Blue Dragon came all the way to help you, not only are you ungrateful, but you even dare to say something nonsense in front of me. Considering that this is your first offense, I will not make it a fuss this time. Go catch the locusts!"

Seeing that the county magistrate did not take it seriously, several town mayors simply made it clear.

"Sir, you know that the people of Blue Dragon came to help for a purpose. They caught the locusts in our county to sell them for money."

At this moment, Wu Zhen completely understood what the mayors meant, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

There are so many locusts that the people of this county cannot catch them all. Instead of letting the locusts escape and harm other places, it is better to let the people of Lanlong catch them. It is their freedom to sell them for money or eat them themselves.

"So what? You should now face the reality and know who the real enemy is. You should find a way to catch more locusts instead of making complaints behind their backs and hurting the hearts of the Blue Dragon people."

"But sir, the locusts belong to our county. How can we let the people of Lanlong County take them and sell them for money? I don't accept it."

Wu Zhen really didn't expect that at the critical stage of the "fight" against the locust swarm, people from his own county would be dragging their feet and using such a ridiculous excuse.
