Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 69 Locusts
What if you agree to him hastily, and the two of you can't get along in the future?
He took him away, even if they don't get along, it's not easy to drive him back, right?
He hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the students in the school? Who will teach them?"

Mr. Wan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his expression became a little ugly.

He only thought about his own future, and didn't think about the students in the school.

Therefore, he didn't know how to answer Shen Mu's question.

At this time, a student happened to come out for convenience, and happened to overhear their conversation.

So he went back with a cold face, and then told the other students what the two of them said.

Everyone is silent.

The originally high mood also fell down.

Mr. Wan was silent for a while and then said with a sneer: "I didn't think carefully, I'll think about it later."

Shen Mu couldn't say anything more, so he nodded, and stretched out his hand to invite him into the house for tea.

On the other side, Shen Jintang also went to Zhuangzi.

Now the man in charge of Zhuangzi is a simple-looking but shrewd man.

It is now the beginning of June, and the winter wheat in the field has not yet matured, but it has begun to turn yellow.

Shen Jintang estimated that it would take about half a month to harvest.

When they arrive in Yichang County, they will definitely not be able to spend money on food all the time.

At that time, people will transport two cars to Yichang County.

As for vegetables and the like, she has planted an acre in the space, enough for their family to eat.

The mulberries on the hillside are now ripe.

Shen Jintang mobilized the tenants in the village to pick the mulberries.

It took two full days, and the mulberries picked weighed about two to three thousand catties.

Shen Jintang put them all into the space.

Wait for leisure time to make mulberry wine.

The weather is already very hot now, and those silkworm eggs can also be hatched and raised in the silkworm breeding room in Zhuangzi.

Shen Jintang hatched some silkworm eggs and handed them over to the tenants in the village to raise them.

Except for the grain harvested in the field, other things are not shared with the tenants.

Shen Jintang promised to give them [-] Wen a day to help him raise those silkworms.

After forming cocoons, they can be transported to Yichang County for her.

The tenants didn't expect to have such extra income, so they happily promised Shen Jintang that they would raise those silkworms well.

Shen Jintang taught them the precautions and experience in raising those silkworms.

If you don't understand something, you can write to her and go to Yichang County to ask.

As long as the temperature and humidity are well controlled and the mulberry leaves are kept clean, silkworms will generally not get sick.

Doctor Zhang from the Shou'an Hall in the town also came to Shen's house several times to ask Shen Jintang some medical skills that he didn't understand.

After staying at home for four or five days, the family was ready to leave for Yichang County.

This time, Shen Jintang spent money to buy a carriage in the town and hired a coachman.

After all, Shen Mu is the county magistrate, so traveling and the like must be done without a carriage.

It is much more convenient to buy a carriage.

This time it was the same people who came to see them off.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Shen Mu and the others set off.

When the members of the Wu family received the news and rushed to Sanhe Village with their hastily packed luggage, they found that Shen Mu's family had already disappeared in the carriage.

Wu Wanqing looked at their closed courtyard door, and stomped her feet angrily: "Why is eldest brother-in-law like this, he didn't even say hello to us when he left."

She looked at Mrs. Wu with the bundle in her hand, and asked expectantly, "Mother, shall we go after him?"

As long as she catches up with her, she will follow Shen Mu shamelessly, to see what they can do with her?
Before Mrs. Wu could speak, Mrs. Wu said in a cold voice with a sullen face, "What are you chasing after? Go home."

After all, Wu Wanqing didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Wu, so she could only let it go unwillingly.

Although Yichang County is not as far as Beijing, it took more than ten days to arrive along the way.

On the way, Shen Jintang found that locusts appeared in the crop fields in many places.

The closer to Yichang County, the higher the frequency and density of locusts.

Although it is not to the point where the locusts cross the border and no grass grows, but the large swathes of locusts flap their wings and fly by, the rustling sound is still scalp-numbing.

After a tiring journey, when their carriage finally stopped at the gate of the Yichang county government office, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

A yamen servant saw Shen Mu getting out of the carriage in official uniform, guessed his identity after some time, and trotted into the county yamen to report the letter.

Not long after, three men in different clothes walked out quickly.

When they saw the official uniform on Shen Mu's body, and the ultimatum and documents in his hand, they immediately confirmed his identity.

"My subordinate, Liang Deyu, is currently serving as the magistrate of Yichang County. I have met the county magistrate."

"The next official, Fu Xiaocheng, is currently the chief secretary of Yichang County. I have met the county magistrate."

"Dong Hongyu, the master of Yichang County, has met the county magistrate."

All three are in their 40s and all have short beards.

They are of different heights, fat and thin.

Shen Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them up one by one, and said gently: "You don't need to be polite, please get up."

Liang Deyu and others took advantage of the situation and got up, reaching out to invite Shen Mu to enter the county government office.

Seeing Wu Qiuniang and others following behind Shen Mu, they were taken aback, and asked with a smile: "Are these your wife and children? Then follow me to the backyard of the county government to settle down."

A group of people filed into the backyard of the county government.

This is a courtyard once you enter, and there are quite a lot of rooms.There are several pots of flowers and plants that are about to wither by the wall in the yard.

These rooms are also considered spacious and bright, and the cleaning is very clean.

Not at all luxurious.

Shen Jintang randomly chose a room and moved all his belongings into it.

Because there were enough rooms, brothers Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan each chose one.

As for Shen Mu, he was dragged by Liang Deyu and others to the front county government office to discuss matters.

"It stands to reason that my lord is exhausted all the way, so you should rest for a day and discuss the matter tomorrow." Liang Deyu said apologetically.

"No problem." Shen Mu smiled and asked, "But is there anything urgent that needs to be dealt with?"

Dong Hongyu sighed and asked, "My lord, have you seen anything special during this journey?"

In a special situation, Shen Mu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about locusts?"

Hearing this, the other three nodded.

"My lord, although the locust plague in our Yichang County has not yet reached a particularly serious level, if it continues like this, within a few days, it will definitely affect the livelihood of the people." Dong Hongyu said with a wry smile.

The locusts have a strong reproductive ability. Although there is no disaster at the moment, there is no way to deal with these locusts, and the grain in the field will be useless.
