Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 355
The urgent report on the Northwest Extension Line was finally presented to the King of Yan. He glanced over it, his sword eyebrows frowned into Sichuan characters, and clapped his hands to call for several trusted staff members to discuss the solution together.

Within three days, there will be a red list posted, and whoever can offer a good strategy to control the locust plague will be rewarded with a thousand gold!

All of a sudden, the whole city was in an uproar!

There must be locusts in a long drought, and the news of the locust plague passing through the border cannot be concealed no matter what. Even Tuocheng, which is hundreds of miles away from Liangcheng, was attacked by the locust plague just a day ago. According to the direction of the locust swarm, It should fly over Liangcheng in a few days.

September is the season of autumn harvest, and the current grain fields are waiting to mature. If the locust plague really comes, the people of Liangcheng may have no harvest!
This news really made the people of the whole city panic, and the hearts of the people were shaken and uneasy.

If it was possible, King Yan would definitely not want to make such news public, but even if the facts were covered up, they would eventually be exposed one day. How about mobilizing the wisdom of the people in the city to try to come up with a solution.

Ji Chonglian was also very worried when she heard the news. Although the King of Yan also promised that if there is a disaster this year, he will naturally find ways to buy food from Jiangnan and other places, and at the same time apply to the court for disaster relief. Hungry.

King Yan has always kept his word and kept his promises, so many people are convinced by his words, but he can't stop those who have no idea and start secretly hoarding food in their homes through other channels.

Even Shen Xinyou couldn't help complaining in front of Ji Chonglian, saying that the price of food had doubled again.

If this continues, the whole city will fall into panic that the disaster year is coming.

Ji Chonglian was also very distressed, but she was not an expert in this field and could not make a countermeasure against the locust plague.

After Guiying milked the Mu brothers, Ye Jinyu and Lin Tao came to Ji Chonglian with one in their arms. The two brothers now look ruddy and very cute. Every time they see their innocent appearance, no matter how many troubles they have, they will never forget. Sweep over.

Ji Chonglian stretched out her arms to hug Mu Changkong, and kissed his smooth forehead. There was a faint milky fragrance on the child's body, and the fragrant and soft body made people reluctant to let go.

"In a blink of an eye, the children are already three months old, sister, look how good they are!"

Ye Jinyu approached Mu Yuanye with his arms in his arms, and the two brothers' faces were piled together, making it impossible to tell them apart for a moment.

Ji Chonglian looked over with a smile, and she didn't know if Ye Jinyu had really let go of it from the bottom of her heart, but there was a little more joy on her face these days, but there was an indescribable silence in that smile.

Pain makes people grow. Whether it is good or bad, it is a kind of tempering in life. Ye Jinyu can't be carefree forever like a child who doesn't grow up. Such a transformation is also a sign of her gradual maturity.

At least Ji Chonglian felt relieved in her heart.

Ji Chonglian glanced at the Mu brothers, and couldn't help but muttered: "At that time, we were in a hurry and didn't properly dispose of Sister Mu's body. I thought about asking Liang Kuandao to move her grave here, so that their brothers will grow up a little bit later. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I can also offer incense sticks to Sister Mu to comfort her spirit in heaven!"

Sister Mu is the name Ji Chonglian gave to the biological mother of the Mu brothers when they chatted with Ye Jinyu later, and it has become a habit to come and go again and again.

Ye Jinyu silently lowered her eyes, looking at the Mu family brothers with pity in her eyes, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful. Sister Mu is buried there alone, she must feel very lonely."

"And those strange branches blocking the way, I still can't figure out why."

Ji Chonglian's thoughts were pulled back to the scene of that day, those broken branches, those dead birds...

Birds... Birds...

The things that happened these days are connected together and slowly filtered in my mind.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Ji Chonglian's mind, and the next moment, her eyes lit up instantly!
That's right, why didn't she think that species in nature always interact with each other, since manpower can't solve it, then let's think about it in a different direction.

The natural enemies of locusts are birds. If you can attract birds to deal with locusts, then you can save some grain fields. If you have any hope, you must try your best to catch them!

However, how can we attract as many birds as possible?
Ji Chonglian frowned slightly, she thought it was an idea, but it might be difficult to implement it.

Seeing Ji Chonglian sometimes stretched and sometimes sad, Ye Jinyu couldn't help asking with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Chonglian looked at Ye Jinyu, and couldn't help thinking: "Do you know that King Yan has posted a red list, looking for good ways to control locusts?"

"I've heard people in the mansion talk about it."

Ye Jinyu nodded, her eyes worried, "Sister, is the plague of locusts really so terrible?"

"Yes," Ji Chonglian nodded affirmatively, "The locust plague will probably lead to nothing. If so, the hard work of the people for a year will be in vain. When the disaster year comes, the people will not be able to live, and there may be civil strife!"

Civil disorder is like a flood, it should be dredged rather than blocked, as it will collapse if it is blocked, and it will be smoothed if it is dredged!
Ji Chonglian understood this truth, King Yan must have thought the same way, that's why the locust plague was not hidden from the people in the city, if they got the news from other sources, the rumors would have already disturbed people's hearts.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible or not? How can I spread it to King Yan's ears?"

Ji Chonglian handed Mu Changkong back to Lin Tao to hold, and tapped her index finger on the table with a pensive look on her face.

"Then... why don't you find a solution with Big Brother Dongfang?"

When Ye Jinyu said this, even she herself blushed, and when she saw Ji Chonglian's surprised gaze looking at her, she even twisted her face and said: "Sister, don't look at me like this, I will do this to him no matter what. My neighbor for many years, if I ask him to pass a message to King Yan, it shouldn't be difficult."

"If Dongfang Tou is allowed to do this, it should be feasible."

Ji Chonglian's eyes lit up, and she patted the back of Ye Jinyu's hand with a smile, "It's best if you think about it."

If you can't be a couple, you can still be friends. Ye Jinyu has such an open mind, and it's the best way for her to let go if she doesn't hold grudges against Dongfang Tou because of it.

"Then I'll ask Liang Kuan to invite him immediately."

Ji Chonglian stood up, ordered Mrs. Liang, and then sat in the mansion and waited for Dongfang Tou to come to the door.

It wasn't until dusk that Dongfang Tou came to Pei's mansion. Shen Xinyou also came out to welcome him when he heard the news, and stopped him on the way.

Dongfang Tou is Pei Yan's best friend, Shen Xinyou dare not be slow in the slightest.

"Young Master Dongfang!"

Shen Xinyou greeted her with a smile, and bowed respectfully.
