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

County Magistrate Zhong Sen did not expect that they would be considered taking advantage by bringing people to support.

To be honest, Miss Li collected locusts at a high price of five cents per pound, which really provided a good way to make money for the people.

Yesterday, a swarm of locusts attacked Lanlong County. Every household caught a lot of locusts. The extra money from selling them was equivalent to five years' net income, which made everyone feel happy.

And when Miss Li and others left yesterday, they said that the locust swarm would arrive in Wujiang County the next day.

So much so that before dawn, there were already a lot of people standing at the gate of the county government office. They all agreed to come to Wujiang to help catch locusts.

Zhong Sen certainly understood what people were thinking. The locusts caught in Wujiang would be sold for money.

After all, the locust plague will pass sooner or later. If you want to make more money, you must seize the opportunity.

The purpose was so obvious, and the people of Wujiang were not stupid. They could see it clearly, so it was understandable that they did not let them catch him.

You have to know that what you catch is not just locusts, but huge amounts of money. Who would be willing to give them up?

But there were too many locusts, and the people of Wujiang refused to let the people of Lanlong catch them, and they had nothing to say.

As a county magistrate, Wu Zhen always considers the overall situation no matter what problems he encounters.

The most important thing at the moment is to kill these locusts. It does not mean that the people of a certain county should catch them just because the locusts are from that county.

He will not be lenient with the current situation.

"Whoever disagrees, please speak out now."

"Sir, I will not accept this unless the people of Lanlong County are not allowed to sell locusts."

"My Lord, I don't accept it either."

"Me too, sir."

……

Seeing that all the mayors were dissatisfied, Wu Zhen said coldly: "It's okay if you don't accept it. After the locust plague is over, I will arrange for someone to take your place."

"Ah, sir, I didn't say anything."

"Sir, you are right. I will leave now."

In the blink of an eye, the mayor, who had just been shouting his dissatisfaction, ran away.

You must be kidding. We can't let the county magistrate find an excuse to remove their positions as mayors just because of this incident.

Wu Zhen watched the mayors leave, his frown still on his face.

After so much time has passed, the number of locusts that covered the sky has not decreased much, and he said to Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Jiang, I'm going to catch locusts. Please do as you please."

"Master Wu, we are here just to help catch locusts. You are insulting us by saying this."

"Thank you." Wu Zhen thanked him sincerely.

Then the three of them joined the locust catching team.

[Host, I think we can harvest a lot of locusts today. ]

【Um. 】

Li Mengyue looked at the locusts that were increasing instead of decreasing in number and nodded with satisfaction.

Yesterday she thought she could harvest a lot of locusts, but the result was not very ideal.

After all, the number of locusts consumed by tens of thousands of ducks alone reached an astonishing number.

She had a vague intuition that even if all seven counties in Qingshan Prefecture were harvested, it would probably take a short time for the locusts collected to feed more than 50,000 ducks.

You should know that a duck eats an average of 200 locusts, so in a day, it will consume 10 million locusts.

But now, let alone hundreds of millions of locusts, it is estimated that even ten million have not been collected.

Because the locusts in the locust plague were either swept away by the army of ducks or consumed.

What's more, except for Mengchuan County, all other county towns in Qingshan Prefecture raise ducks, and they eat a lot of locusts every day.

By now, Li Mengyue even fell into self-doubt, wondering if she had overestimated the locust plague.

It is not that the reproduction rate of locusts is very fast, especially during locust plagues, the speed can reach an alarming level.

But what's going on with the locusts now? There seem to be a lot of them, but it seems that they are not enough to make up for the ducks.

Judging from the speed at which the ducks are eating the locusts, it is estimated that the locusts in Wujiang County will not last long.

Sure enough, before the afternoon, there were no more swarms of flying locusts, only a few of them were still flying.

The locust swarm in Wujiang County came to an end, and other counties gradually joined the cause of catching locusts, sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.

The army of ducks led by Li Mengyue and the people from seven villages either collected locusts and maintained order or blew up locusts during the day, so that the people in every county would know that locusts are edible and would have the awareness to treat locusts as food.

Because Li Mengyue and others put in a lot of effort in exterminating the locusts.

No matter which county she arrived in, she would be welcomed by the local people. In addition, the county magistrates bought the soul-returning pills from Li Mengyue, so they treated Li Mengyue very well.

So when there are locusts in a county, Li Mengyue and her men there don't have to worry about food and sleep, as someone will take care of everything.

It can be said that during the period when the locust plague struck, Li Mengyue was pregnant and although she was busy, she did not suffer much and it did not affect the baby in her belly.

Ten days later, most of the locust swarms flying towards Qingshan Prefecture were wiped out. They either became food for ducks or were caught by the people and sold for money.

Of course, there are still a lot of locusts in each county, but they are too scattered and will not gather into large numbers.

Even if they were eating the crops, the crops in the fields had already been harvested, so it would not cause much loss to the people. On the contrary, the arrival of the locust swarms made the people of Qingshan Prefecture earn a lot of money.

Because of this, the people in every county of Qingshan Prefecture knew Li Mengyue's name even if they didn't know who the county magistrate was.

[Host, the locust plague is finally over. ]

Li Mengyue stood on a high slope in Gugang County, looking at the locusts flying past from time to time, and nodded in agreement.

[I've been out for more than half a month this time, it's time to go back. 】

[Ah, really? Host, let's go quickly! ]

Hearing the system's cheering voice, Li Mengyue had a hunch that something was wrong with Tuanzi, so she asked tentatively.

[You can’t eat as much fried locusts as you want when you go back. ]

[Ugh! Who wants to eat? Ugh, I've had enough. ]

Seeing Tuanzi's pale face, Li Mengyue laughed unceremoniously.

Tuanzi has eaten a lot of fried locusts during this period. Now he feels sick just by looking at them and has no desire to eat them at all.

【Then why are you urging me to go back? 】

【Host, roast duck. 】

The system was really afraid that Li Mengyue had forgotten about the roast duck, so it quickly reminded her.

When she heard the word "roast duck", the corners of Li Mengyue's mouth twitched. She is indeed a foodie. After having just used the ducks, she was thinking about eating their meat.

Oh, no, while the ducks were struggling to catch locusts, the system was already thinking about it.

Now that the locust plague is about to end, I will naturally think about eating roast duck.

Li Mengyue looked at the more than 50,000 ducks. They had eaten a lot of locusts during this period and had grown a lot, making them very suitable for making roast duck.

But when you think about the fact that she took these ducks out of the infinite breeding base and raised them for such a long time, she must have made great contributions to the locust eradication.
