There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 205 Report to the government
The two doctors originally wanted to join the insect killing war, but they were persuaded to leave in the end.

After all, no one can guarantee that he will not be injured during the process. Once injured, someone needs to take care of it.

The two doctors are naturally more important to treat the wounded.

So just after the locust plague was over, the two doctors started looking for the wounded from room to room with their medical boxes on their backs.

Yin Cheng stayed in the Qi family compound, while Qin Minglang went to several other houses.

Those who were not injured were still busy cleaning up the remaining locusts.

"Sister-in-law Si, can we kill all these bugs?"

Ai Zhaodi panted and asked Yimeng, while pointing at the cloth sheet swollen by locusts that had not yet died.

Yi Meng was also very tired at this time.

The men in the family can definitely hold on for a while, but then they have to find the remaining locusts in the corners, which is a delicate job and cannot be relaxed.

Looking at it this way, it is really impossible to slap these cloth sheets with a board.

Yi dreamed about it, and called Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai: "Brother Jin, second brother, these locusts are too strenuous to beat, or we should burn them all!"

"Huh? Burned? Then these cloths..."

Qi Ercai looked at such long and long cloth sheets. At first, everyone thought that the locusts had been cleaned up, and these cloth sheets could still be used after washing.

Quan Quanjin said: "Burn it! Save some effort and clean it up."

"Alright then! I'll go and inform the other companies."

Qi Ercai stopped struggling.

The locusts are so hateful, it would be good to burn them to death.

Soon, other families got the news that the cloth sheets were going to be burned.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed, but everyone has no objection.

It is really too tiring. If I really want to crush these insects to death little by little, and then go to find the remaining locusts, I guess I will have to be busy until midnight.

The light is dark at night, even with torches and other lighting, it is difficult to find it. It is better to clean up the residue while the sky is still bright.

Each family took out the mixed oil they had saved at home, heated it and turned it into a liquid, and then poured it on these cloth sheets.

With a few torches thrown in, the fire quickly ignited.

The fire burned people's faces hot, and the sound of sizzling accompanied by a strange smell of barbecue permeated the air, and everyone didn't know what mood they were hearing.

Even with the use of fire, it was still midnight when everyone was really busy.

This time everyone gathered together for dinner again.

The so-called meal was nothing more than noodle soup. After filling their stomachs whole, they hurried back to rest.

Hard work, too hard work, even more tiring than those days when the house was built.

The injured person was not too serious. After cleaning the wound and applying medicine, the wound scabbed the next day, which did not affect the work at all.

The only worrying thing is that the bodies of several old men are too exhausted and need to rest for a while.

At night, Qi Quanjin and Yi Meng lay on the kang, each holding a fan to fan the wind.

Yi Meng was fanning the children around her, while Quan Quanjin was fanning his wife.

The children were all asleep, but the couple couldn't sleep.

"Daughter-in-law, I have to go to the city early in the morning, and I have to talk to the government about the insect infestation."

Quan Quanjin yawned after speaking.

Yi Meng hummed: "It should be said, and also how we deal with the locusts."

"Yes, I thought so too. We managed to escape, but I don't know if other villages can escape."

Quan Quanjin sighed: "I just want to ask about the settlement of our village."

With so many people and several families, even though it is not comparable to those big villages, because of the large enough area, it is still up to the standard of a village.

Everyone had discussed together before, and the new village was still called Yongping Village.

Submit it to the government, and wait for the government to pass it.

Although the village head is not an official official of the imperial court, he can still have a salary every month. If it is a little less, it will add up to one tael of silver a year.

But this represents the legitimacy of the existence of this village. If something happens, the government will help.

The two chatted without saying a word, and I don't know when it changed to snoring.

The chickens and ducks in the backyard all entered the circle with their round bellies, and none of them came to eat until the next morning after mixing the food.

Qi Qijin and Qi Ercai drove the carriage to the city early the next morning, only to find out that there were several villages affected by the disaster yesterday when they arrived in the city.

But there were also those who were not affected by the disaster, but after getting the news, the village chiefs of these villages still came to the city to inquire about the news.

After the Qi family brothers came over, the clerk in charge of registering the damage caused by the pest disaster looked at them and asked, "When was the disaster hit and how much was the loss?"

He has said this several times today, and he is already a little listless at the moment.

Qi Ercai gave Quanquanjin a wink, and Quanjin stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Master, our village was hit by a disaster in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, but basically there was no loss, only a few people were bitten by locusts, we have seen I went to the doctor and took the medicine, and I guess the wound will heal within two days."

"What? No loss?"

The whole body of the document was shocked, and the lackluster look just now disappeared in an instant: "Your village is not farming?"

"It has been cultivated, and it has grown quite tall."

Quan Qijin smiled Hanhan: "However, several elderly people in our village experienced locust plagues many years ago. This time it feels similar to the previous situation, so we made some preparations in advance."

Originally, he wanted to say that he had sent the news to the city before, but Quan Quanjin was not sure whether Liu Qinghe had reported this matter.

If he didn't report it and he brought it up now, then Liu Qinghe would most likely be put on the job.

So I will not mention it.

After hearing this, the secretary thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, and then asked, "Did you guys talk about this a few days ago? I remember it was, it was..."

I couldn't remember who told me this.

Qi Qijin understood as soon as he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I told Liu Qinghe."

"That's right, it's Lao Liu."

The clerk nodded suddenly, but then his face changed, he looked outside the door, saw no one, then lowered his voice and said: "You have never mentioned the insect plague in the city, remember?"

What this means is...

Quan Quanjin and Qi Ercai looked at each other, and they both understood.

They told Liu Qinghe, and Liu Qinghe also told the clerk, but the clerk probably didn't continue to report it.

If they were disobedient and continued to insist that this matter had been mentioned in advance, the clerk might be in trouble.

The two brothers of the Qi family understood that the people do not fight with the officials, and they immediately nodded in response.

Qi Qijin continued: "My lord, we have never mentioned this matter before. But we have some experience in dealing with locust plagues. I wonder if it is too late to say it now?"
