Concubine Shizi is acting as a demon again today

Chapter 166 Ice and Snow Smart
"The Luochang Mansion basically has no harvest this year. Even if you lend them five taels of silver to build a greenhouse, they won't be able to survive until the beginning of next spring."

"Isn't there a relief fund?" Ye Qingqian blinked and asked.

"It's just a drop in the bucket. The money has to be used to buy wheat seeds, and to pay for the manual extermination of locusts. How can there be any money left to distribute to the victims?"

Ye Qingqian rolled her eyes: "I have an idea, why don't you do this? Didn't Brother Xiaobai give you a few ways to kill locusts? You can ask people from every family to come out to kill locusts, and the wages are wheat seeds or food." , so that you can not only solve the problem of shortage of manpower, but also mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.”

Yun Lie automatically filtered out the annoying title of little white brother, and felt that Ye Qingqian's proposal was very good, so he couldn't help but praise: "Qingqian, you are really smart."

After hearing Yun Lie's compliment, Ye Qingqian felt more comfortable than eating two roast ducks, and went back to the house happily.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Yun Lie and others set off for Luochang Mansion, Ye Qingqian still held Cupid in his arms.

As the city got closer to Luochang Prefecture, the disaster became more and more serious. There were even hundreds of locusts gnawing on a corn stalk.

Suddenly, another swarm of locusts flew over the sky and covered the sky in the distance. These locusts were so rampant that even people were not afraid of them, and they fell on the crops and gnawed wantonly.As soon as Ye Qingqian saw these bugs, she felt disgusted and used her mental power unconsciously.

I saw that the locusts that were still eating within a hundred meters seemed to have been frightened by something, and they all fell to the ground in a flutter. The accompanying black cavalry hurriedly stepped forward to beat and crush them. It's still relatively easy to get up.

"It's really strange, how come these locusts can't fly anymore?" Ji Chang said in surprise.

"Could it be that he was frightened by the power of Prince Ning and the black cavalry?" Xuanyuan Xiaobai teased.

"Brother Xiaobai, why don't you say that they were overwhelmed by my young master Qing Ye's talent?" Ye Qing smiled lightly.

"If that's the case, then I'll be kind, and I'll put you wherever there is a locust plague, so that it will be convenient to eliminate the locusts." Xuanyuan Xiaobai laughed.

Ye Qingqian sighed inwardly, it's a pity that my lady's mental strength is limited, and most of it was lost just now, it's best that Cupid, a dead brain, can recover some useful abilities this time when he wakes up.

Yun Lie and his party arrived outside Luochang Mansion, where Yuan Yingjie, the prefect of Luochang Mansion, was waiting with a group of officials.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went into the city and came to the magistrate's office, and Yun Lie asked Yuan Yingjie about the disaster situation in Luochang's mansion.

Yuan Yingjie looked sad: "This year's summer harvest is basically complete, locusts are everywhere, and next year's situation will be worrying!"

Ye Qingqian's eyes rolled, Yuan Yingjie looked like a good official, unlike Ji Chang's melancholy, which was only superficial.

Yun Lie asked about other related situations, and then said: "Since the summer harvest is hopeless, we can only place our hope on the winter wheat. The top priority now is to kill the locusts to prevent another outbreak next year."

"Issued a notice that all those who participated in the locust extermination organized by the government will be counted according to their work points, men, women, and children, and receive winter wheat seeds or grain based on their work points. Distribute these locust catching methods to all counties and start preparations immediately. If there is not enough money for disaster relief here , from Yangyi Mansion. In addition, in order to prevent locusts from entering Yangyi Mansion from the border of the two prefectures, Mr. Ji, you arrange people to organize people to exterminate locusts at the junction of the two prefectures. After the locust extermination is over, we will discuss how to relieve the disaster in the next step " Hearing Yun Lie's words, Ji Chang opened his mouth to speak, but Yun Lie glanced at him, feeling cold all over his body, so he fell silent.

All of a sudden, Luochang Prefecture set off a wave of extermination of locusts. Men, women, old and young all joined the battle. Firstly, it was for a good harvest in the coming year, and secondly, it could be exchanged for wheat seeds and grains.
　The third one is even hotter!There is another update tonight!
