Chapter 67 Disaster Victims Riot
Liao Ji asked Zhang Xin this because Zhang Xiaopang sent a message in the group saying that the pesticide factory had delivered the medicine for treating locusts.
Jiang Lili had already gone with Xin Che and Xin Cheng to "get" the medicine from the wooden box on the cart.
"Both here and here."
Zhang Xin showed Liao Dabao all the land his family had rented.
Seeing how Liao Dabao had asked them to place the haystack in a very clever way that made use of the wind to expand the range of the smoke to the maximum, Zhang Xin was in awe. This kid was really good at observation!
Zhang Dun's parents were originally dragged by Zhang Xin to listen to the little kid Liao Dabao's words to do things, and they were nervous. Now they admire this little adult very much. No wonder Miss Jiang listened carefully to what this kid said, he is simply a child prodigy.
Zhang Xin was about to go home and move another batch of haystacks, but Liao Ji held out his short hand to stop him, "No need, I'll have the locust medicine I prepared delivered right away."
Zhang Xin was speechless. This little kid even knew how to make medicine to treat locusts?
He was skeptical, but there was no better way now. Besides, Miss Jiang and the little kid were together with the Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion. With the reputation of a military family like the Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion, he could not help but choose to believe it.
"Master Liao, we're back!" Jiang Lili trotted over from the ridge of the field. "The cart can't drive onto the ridge. Come with me to unload the cargo!"
As he was talking, Xin Cheng pulled the cart loaded with wooden boxes to the village road closest to the farmland.
Zhang Xin and Zhang Dun's parents went to help unload the goods, and together with Xin Che and the bodyguards, they brought in barrels of insecticide.
This medicine for treating locusts needs to be mixed in proportions. Master Liao directed Xin Che, Xin Cheng and Zhang Xin to pour different types of medicine into the bucket.
A group of adults were listening to the orders of a little kid who spoke with gaping teeth. The medicine barrel was taller than Liao Dabao. The scene was really funny and the villagers on Village Chief Liu's side couldn't help but ridicule him.
"Zhang Xin is really ridiculous. He actually listens to a two-year-old child. I'm afraid he has become stupid from cutting wood in the mountains."
"Hey, who asked Zhang Xin to lease so much land at once? Now I can only try desperate measures!"
Zhang Xin is a carpenter with good carpentry skills and a warm-hearted person. He has made many friends from all over the world and has many sources of income. He is the household that rents the most land in the village. It is said that he is already planning to buy land from the landlord. Now there are many people in the village who are jealous of him.
"Where in the world is there medicine to cure locusts? If there was such a medicine, the imperial court wouldn't have had such a headache for hundreds of years."
"Even if there is, how can a child possibly match it?"
"Zhang Xin is so stupid, he dragged Zhang Dun's family into this. With so much land, I'm afraid the family assets will be lost, tsk tsk."
Seeing that some people in the village were taking the opportunity to criticize Zhang Xin's family and laugh at him, Village Chief Liu told everyone to stop talking: "Enough, take care of your own land!"
Although he was puzzled by Zhang Xin's words that he believed in a little kid instead of the locust god, it was wrong for some villagers to take advantage of the situation. As the village chief, he had to manage the order of the village. Village chief Liu was superstitious and stubborn, but everything he did was based on the collective interests of the village.
At this time, the son of Village Chief Liu also came back with his men: "Dad, I got the insect net!"
Apart from worshiping the locust god, the only reliable way now is to use an insect net to catch the locusts one by one, put them in a basket, and then kill them all at once.
Village Chief Liu nodded and said, "Okay, distribute the insect nets to everyone. The flocks of birds have begun to disperse, so we can use the insect nets to catch the remaining locusts."
At this time, the daughter-in-law of the village witch also stepped forward and said, "Village chief, my mother-in-law has taken the women and children to worship the locust god and perform rituals!"
"Okay, okay, everything is arranged, let's take action now!"
The villagers who got the insect nets went down to the fields to catch locusts one after another. At this time, there were still a large number of locusts attacking from a distance, and it was unknown when they would end.
Village chief Liu and several village officials were organizing the villagers, counting the disaster situation, and preparing to report it to the county.
On this side, the insecticide had already been prepared. Jiang Lili, Xin Che and others carried the pesticide spraying boxes and wore gas masks to go to Zhang's field, while Liao Ji was directing the route for them to spray the pesticide.
Also unloaded from the carriage were gasoline, wooden sticks and cloth strips. Chen led people to make torches to drive away insects in the fields where the medicine had not yet arrived.
"Village head, the county governor is here with his men!"
At this time, a boy herding cattle at the entrance of the village trotted over from the ridge of the field.
Everyone looked back and saw a chestnut horse galloping towards them. It rode very steadily on the narrow ridge of the field, which was enough to show the rider's superb horsemanship.
The man on the horse was eight feet tall and sturdy, with a square face that looked intimidating even without him getting angry. He looked like a military general from a certain background.
The county where Tianshui Village is located is called Yunhai County. The governor of Yunhai County is named Lin Ye, who was demoted to Lingnan to serve as an official.
Wang Zifu, who was busy catching locusts, was surprised, "How did the governor of Yunhai County get the news so quickly? Even faster than the county magistrate?"
Soon someone answered him: "You don't know, our county magistrate's wife is from Tianshui Village, and the county magistrate, Lord Lin, is also half a Tianshui Villager."
Lin Ye led his men down from their horses and ran straight to Village Chief Liu: "Uncle Liu, what's the situation now?!"
Village Chief Liu shook his head: "Too many. I have asked the witch to perform a ritual. I wonder if the locust god will show up now!"
The yamen runners brought by Lin Ye went to the fields with insect nets and torches to help drive away the insects.
Lin Ye noticed that the Zhang family's land was being smoked, and some people who did not look like villagers were making torches: "Why are there so many unfamiliar faces in the Zhang family?"
Lin Ye immediately became alert. A locust plague had occurred across a large area in Yunhai County, and many villages had been affected one after another. Yesterday, villagers in several villages had riots and uprisings.
Fortunately, the matter did not get out of hand, so he suppressed it. Otherwise, if it got to the ears of that old thief Emperor Qingning, the disaster victims in Yunhai County would not only not get any disaster relief support, but they might even lose their lives!
Someone must be fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Therefore, when Lin Ye saw these people at this moment, he was particularly alert, especially some people in the field were wearing strange masks that covered their faces.
"Oh, Master Lin, you don't know. Did you see that kid?" A village official quickly pointed out Liao Dabao in the field to Lin Ye: "That kid lied and said he could cure the locust plague and make a potion to drive away the locusts."
Lin Ye saw a tiny creature in the field, almost as tall as the rice, working hard to direct the work. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What? How can you let such a small child face such a dangerous thing? What if he gets hurt by the insect swarm?"
The village official said: "The Zhang family has a lot of land, and they are desperate. They believed their lies and are now obedient. We have already tried to persuade them, but they won't listen."
"Now Zhang Xin and others are following the instructions of a child, spraying the ground with medicine from who knows where, and they really think it works."
The village official motioned Lin Ye to look at Zhang Xin's land: "If you don't believe me, take a look——"
After the village official finished speaking, he turned around and was dumbfounded.
