Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 202 Ambush

Calculating the time, we set off the day after tomorrow and arrived in Qingjiang County in mid-September, and it was only a few days before the locust plague came in the second ten days of the month.

She had to return to Qingjiang County to take charge of the overall situation before the locust disaster came.

When locusts cross the border, not a single blade of grass grows.

The people of Qingjiang County suffered a drought just last year, and it is really unlucky to witness such a scene again this year.

According to the system, there will be nearly [-] million locusts in this locust plague, and each locust can eat more than three times its own body weight in food every day.

In a few days, they can eat all the food planted by the people of Qingjiang County.

Without food, the people are bound to enter a new round of panic.

They panicked, and her two thousand acres of sweet potatoes might suffer.

The sweet potatoes are buried in the ground, and the locusts cannot eat them.

If it is dug out, unless it is sealed and stored, it will still be eaten up by locusts just like other grains.

With Jiang Erya under the pressure, those gentry and wealthy households in Qingjiang County will follow her to protect the two thousand acres of sweet potatoes.Otherwise, they will only panic like the common people...

Jiang Erya planned to dig out the sweet potatoes and distribute them to the affected people when the locust plague was almost under control.

The system said that after this step, her task of growing sweet potatoes would be considered complete.

Of course, Jiang Erya is not unprepared for the locust disaster that is coming.

Before she came to the capital, she asked Yuanwai Chen to help, bought a lot of net bags, bought two hills, hired people, and hatched tens of thousands of chickens and ducks.

These chickens and ducks will be the main force against locusts.

Those net bags can also be distributed to the affected people to catch locusts.

The locusts caught are all high in protein, and can be eaten by burning or roasting, and you can eat whatever you want...

When Jiang Guangyi learned that Jiang Erya and Jiang Erniu were going back to Qingjiang County, he yelled that he would go too.

Jiang Erya had no intention of leaving him behind.

"As long as you can be a good old man as agreed, my father and I don't mind taking you back to Qingjiang County."

Receiving such a reply, Jiang Guangyi became happy, and even went to Duke Ding to show off his retirement life.

"Actually, it's nice to get away from the Vanity Fair in Kyoto once in a while and go to the countryside for a vacation. The key point is that Erya's food is really delicious...

I'm sorry for your age, you still have to be on duty every day, you are so tired every day, and you don't eat well..."

Duke Ding: I really want someone to throw this noisy old thing out the door...

After a while, Jiang Erya's family of three also came to Ding Guogong and bid farewell to Ding Guogong in advance.

Dingguo thought, the marriage between the prince of Yan and the daughter of the prime minister's mansion is almost done, and the small-bellied Prime Minister You can spare his hands to trouble Jiang Erya. At this time, Jiang Erya and the others will go back to Qingjiang County to avoid it. it is good.

Ding Guogong reminded Jiang Erya a few words, and seeing that Jiang Erya listened, he sent another team of guards to Jiang Erya.

In this way, he was a little relieved.

Mrs. Dingguo felt very sad when she learned that Jiang Erya and Jiang Erniu were leaving.

It's a pity that they still took that old man Jiang Guangyi with them, otherwise, she would have wanted to go to Qingjiang County with them.

When that bad old man has gone, she can't go with her, because she has to avoid being suspected of being a man and a woman.

Mrs. Dingguo thought about it, and discussed with Jiang Guangyi: "How about you don't go, I will go instead! Besides Erniu, it's not like you don't have children and grandchildren to take care of you, so why do you have to follow Erniu?"

Jiang Guangyi was so angry that his beard was raised.

"Old sister-in-law, it's wrong for you to say that. So what if I have other children and grandchildren? I only care about Erniu and Erya, can't I?

Besides, don't you have other children and grandchildren?Why do you follow Erniu and Erya?

Besides, you have been to Qingjiang County last year, and if I go this year, you will not suffer. "

The two argued for a long time, and they didn't stop until Ding Guogong spoke.

Duke Ding smiled and persuaded his wife: "Erya and Erniu will only stay for a year or so at most when they go back this time, and they will come back."

Jiang Erya nodded obediently.

Within three years, they will indeed return to Kyoto.

Xiao Xinghe said that he planned to pass the imperial examination and stand beside Emperor Yongshou again.He is confident that within three years at most, he will be able to achieve this goal.

Jiang Erya believed him.

Because of this period of time, he took her to study together every day.

For her, those Four Books and Five Classics were difficult to pronounce and difficult to understand.

But Xiao Xinghe could not only understand it, but also use very popular terms to melt and integrate the knowledge and principles in the book, and explain it to her comprehensively and thoroughly.

Therefore, she believed that Xiao Xinghe would definitely be able to cross the single-plank bridge among thousands of troops during the imperial examination.

Even if you don't get the No. [-] Scholar, you can definitely get Jinshi and rank...

……

Two days later, Jiang Erya's family of three boarded a merchant ship bound for Suizhou Dongchang County with a Jiang Guangyi, a lot of luggage and a group of followers.

There were quite a few people who saw him off, including Dingguogong and his wife and relatives of Dingguogongfu, Chen Yuanwai and Boss Qian who ran a soap factory, and the new Yong'an Hou Jiang Shijie.

When Jiang Erya and others stood on the deck and waved goodbye to everyone, the boat sailed away.

On the official ship not far away, Zhao Wenchang was very pleasantly surprised.Jiang Erya actually returned to Qingjiang County on the same day as him.

Regardless of his image, Zhao Wenchang yelled at Jiang Erya from afar.

"Erya, Erya, are you going back to Qingjiang County today? What a coincidence! Do you want to come and take the same boat with me?"

Jiang Erya waved at Zhao Wenchang from afar as a response.

The boat under his feet started to start and slowly sailed away from the shore.

Jiang Erya took out her sleeve pocket and took out a few small stones from it.

She started counting down.

"Three, two, one..."

A cold arrow flew out from the pier and shot straight at Jiang Erya.

Duke Ding and his wife were taken aback by this sudden change.The guards behind them immediately looked for the archer among the crowd.

Xiao Xinghe and Jiang Guangyi reached out their hands at the same time, trying to pull Jiang Erya aside.

Jiang Erya shouted: "Don't move."

Xiao Xinghe immediately stopped his movements.

Jiang Guangyi didn't listen.He tugged at Jiang Erya's arm.

Then, he found that he couldn't handle a petite person like Jiang Erya at all.

Jiang Erya stood steadily, and while being pulled, she flicked a small stone towards the flying arrow.

The arrow was hit by a small stone and fell straight onto the deck.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Erya bounced another stone onto the pier.

When Ding Guogong's guards were about to grab the archer, they found a blood hole suddenly appeared on the forehead of the man, and he fell back completely silent.

Someone died suddenly on the pier where people were coming and going, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Except for Ding Guogong, Jiang Guangyi and others on board, no one found out who killed them.

Behind a certain warehouse on the pier, another big man with a face mask did not dare to shoot the arrow.

He was arranged by Prime Minister You to replenish the arrows.

The first killer failed and it was up to him.

However, the first killer was counter-killed by someone, and he didn't even see clearly who counter-killed him.

he is afraid...
