The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

Wen had also heard Zhang Xin talk about the head of the He family. She explained to Jiang Lili: "The head of the He family is named He Shao. She is a legendary woman. She has two older brothers, but in the end, she inherited her father's estate."

"I heard that in addition to renting out land, the He family also does business at the port with merchants from overseas."

"Yes!" Zhang Xin's eyes lit up when he talked about this: "The jasmine, purple banana, hibiscus, and exotic flowers and plants imported from overseas, as well as agate, ivory, jade and other treasures that Lingnan pays tribute to the capital every year, all pass through the hands of the He family."

Jiang Lili was shocked. This sounded like a wealthy man, and he also controlled the port and so much land. He could literally walk all over Lingnan area.

"The head of the He family loves flowers, beauty, and dressing up, and he likes good-looking people and things."

Mrs. Wen enjoyed gossiping: "Not to mention the lovers she kept, even the maids and servants around her were all outstanding in appearance."

It turns out he’s a face control freak!

Jiang Lili realized that if she wanted to establish a good relationship with He Shao, she had to work in this direction.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Lin Ye. If the land rent issue is not handled properly, it may be used by people with ulterior motives to cause riots.

The night is getting darker.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Xin and his wife, everyone washed up and went to bed.

Although the Zhang family's house was simple, it was warm and tidy. Marquis Zhaoping and Xin Che went to Lin Ye's yard, and the rest of the people stayed at the Zhang family's house. It was not too crowded and they slept soundly that night.

On the next morning, Zhang Xin and his wife got up early to prepare breakfast for the people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion, but Lin Ye had already sent someone to bring breakfast bought from the city.

Zhang Xin and his wife had breakfast and went to work in the fields. They had hired people to cultivate the large fields, but today was the first day after the disaster so they went to the fields to check the situation.

Lin Ye asked the people who came back from the government office to count the money they had taken out to Jiang Lili: "The money for the insecticide has been withdrawn. Miss Jiang, please check the amount."

Jiang Lili took the purse and counted it. There was exactly twenty taels of silver.

Selling insecticide is really profitable: "Which other villages need this locust-killing medicine? I have enough."

"I've asked my subordinates to check it out, but the damage is quite serious. I guess it will take a little while until later today for the officials in charge of statistics to hand over the information."

Lin Ye was worried: "Do you have any idea where these locusts lay their eggs? If you can completely kill these eggs, the government will reward you with another 100 taels of silver."

If we don't kill the eggs quickly, the locust plague will probably come back again. Lin Ye has spent a lot of money this time.

Liao Ji held his chin up: "Locusts like to lay their eggs in dry wastelands."

Jiang Lili also recalled yesterday's scene: "Yesterday I saw that most of the locusts came from the southwest. Is there such a place in the southwest?"

Lin Ye pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "There are thousands of acres of ownerless wasteland with almost no fertility in the southwest, which meets the conditions you mentioned."

"Let me take you to have a look."

Lin Ye greeted Wang Zifu and said that he would take Jiang Lili and Liao Ji to the wasteland outside the village. How could Wang Zifu dare to disagree?

After arriving at the wasteland in the southwest, everyone began to use shovels to hook the ground to look for locust eggs.

Master Liao is at the lowest altitude from the ground and can see the situation on the ground most clearly.

He was fiddling around in the fields with his two short legs, and since he could use coins to tell fortunes and find things, he soon found a batch of locust eggs that had been laid recently, and called everyone over.

The yamen runner asked: "Two masters, how should we deal with these insect eggs?"

Liao Ji spoke in an adult tone: "Spread hay on the land with insect eggs, and burn it with smoke."

"So this is why Brother Liao asked me to bring some hay yesterday!"

Lin Ye sent people to spread hay for fire.

Liao Ji said to Jiang Lili, "There are insect eggs not only in this place, but also in other places. I'm afraid the hay we brought is not enough."

"I've been to Xiaopang's home in the countryside. He has a lot of corn stalks and straw. Why not ask Xiaopang for some ash from burning hay? It can also increase the fertility of this wasteland."

Jiang Lili continued Master Liao's words as if she had been enlightened: "Then we will give this unowned wasteland with improved fertility to Zhang Xin to take care of. Let him grow medicinal herbs and crops, and we will take a commission! This way he won't have to buy other people's land."

Liao Ji was stunned after hearing this, and then silently gave Jiang Lili a thumbs up. He only thought of the first level, while his sister Li was already in the atmosphere level, so she deserved to make money.

It’s just that I don’t know how long it will take to burn the insect eggs on this thousand acres of land. Let’s first ask Zhang Xiaopang to get some hay so that we can get the money and go home early after burning it!

Jiang Lili was just about to look for Xiaopang, but unexpectedly Xiaopang sent a message first.

【@张小胖: Sister Li, can you find where the locust eggs are hiding! 】

【@江麗麗: Looking for it! What’s up? 】

[@张小胖: The boss of the pesticide factory saw me buying so many locust-killing drugs, so he asked me where I got so many locusts and if I could send him a batch of eggs. He would buy them at a high price.]

Jiang Lili was shocked: [There are still people who want to buy this thing? ]

[@张小胖: Yes! Locusts can be used as medicine to relieve asthma and cough, and to nourish the body. There are now health care product companies that specialize in researching locusts. If the locusts in the locust plague were not adults who have been eating omnivorous food for a long time and have toxins in their bodies, we would have become rich. ]

Jiang Lili learned something new. She discussed with Liao Ji, "Do we still need to burn the eggs? They have already started now."

Jiang Lili looked at Lin Ye who had already set the grass on fire with some embarrassment.

Liao Ji shook his head: "It's okay. This wasteland is so big that it will take a long time to deal with it. While they are burning here, let's go and deal with the locust eggs over there first."

"Do we still need to ask Xiaopang to borrow some hay to burn into the ash?"

Jiang Lili is still thinking about this ownerless wasteland.

"If there are no insect eggs, then there is no need." Master Liao snapped his fingers: "We have modern and more powerful technology and hard work to improve fertility."

So the two of them took advantage of the time when the yamen runners were busy to look for insect eggs on other wastelands. After finding them, Jiang Lili selected the insect eggs and sent them to Xiaopang in the form of a red envelope.

As time passed, by noon, people on both sides had finished their work.

Lin Ye originally thought that it would take at least a day to search for insects and burn the thousand acres of wasteland, but he did not expect that many places in the wasteland were very clean, as if insect eggs had disappeared.

"The source control went very smoothly today." Lin Ye stroked his beard: "Maybe it's God's blessing, seeing that we in Yunhai County are having a hard time."

Jiang Lili and Liao Ji were already hungry and were chewing on some compressed biscuits. When they heard what Lord Lin said, they showed a knowing expression.

Lin Ye caught a glimpse of what the two were eating. He had never seen it before, so he asked curiously, "What are you eating?"
