When the people saw the real people, they said that fighting locusts is not only without retribution, but with blessings. This is great. They immediately rushed to the fields like rushing, grazing chickens and ducks, luring chickens and ducks, and luring fires at night. The power of the people is endless. Although Dongping Prefecture is a small place, it has a population of more than one million and an agricultural population of nearly 800,000. This power is very amazing when mobilized.

Wu Song clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Gongsun Zhenren, for your help. The locust plague in Dongping Prefecture is now cured."

Lord Cheng was talking to Zhao County Magistrate, saying, "Zhao County Magistrate is new, Qinghe is mainly based on food, so the locusts will be eliminated. I hope Zhao County Magistrate can put the overall situation first and work hard. Work harder during this period, go to the fields to encourage the people, and sit in the yamen less freely."

County Magistrate Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and was a little nervous. This was his first term. From a scholar to a county magistrate, he was somewhat uncomfortable. He thought that as long as he became an official, he only needed to drink and drink, but he didn't expect that becoming an official would be so hard.

"Don't worry, Lord Cheng, the subordinates will guarantee their heads that they will definitely eliminate the locust plague in Qinghe County." said the Magistrate Zhao County.

Cheng Wanli went to another county for inspection, and Wu Song also went back to Dongping Prefecture to lead the police to patrol day and night to strictly prevent the villains from gathering to cause trouble.

The magistrate of Zhao County sighed: "This Wu Erlang is abominable. I won't notify me when the prefect comes." He didn't expect that Wu Song had already notified him twice.

The magistrate Zhao's magistrate said: "Sir, in my opinion, it is better for you to put aside your prejudice against Lord Wu. First of all, he is a local big family and has deep roots. Secondly, he is the commander of the Dongping Prefecture and holds great power. Thirdly, he is Lord Cheng's son-in-law. With these three relationships, how can you fight? Besides, we have no conflict of interest, it's just that you don't like him."

County Magistrate Zhao said: "Okay, it's important to kill locusts."

Qinghe County mobilized urgently, and there were dozens of stalls to purchase locusts. Jia Simin's dozens of chickens and ducks in the farm replaced half of the diet with locusts. The locusts had high protein protein. Hens and female ducks all laid double yolk eggs after eating them, but now they were one egg a day. Not to mention Yanggu County, Magistrate Su was even more anxious than Lord Cheng. Since the locust plague occurred, he even slept in the field at night.

Food stalls of all sizes on the street have also invented format snacks, fried grasshoppers, grasshopper skewers, and two skewers worth a penny, which is very popular. When a greedy child sees it, he can't help but eat two skewers.

Another thing is that, with the encouragement of the yamen this spring, there are many chickens and ducks that are free-range. Poultry such as chickens and ducks are the natural enemies of locusts. Although not many are raised in one household, there are ten or eight, the countryside is spread everywhere, which plays a very important role in eliminating locusts.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Zhu Wu and others still returned to the headquarters for training. Pang Wanchun led a hundred guards with Gongsun Zhenren to destroy locusts. Although Gongsun Sheng was not in a good position on weekdays, he was very concerned about the matter of destroying locusts. With his vast eloquence, the people believed everything they passed by, and wiped out locusts and killed locusts one after another.

Ten days later, at the Zuixianlou Restaurant in Dongping Mansion, the chef got angry, "Why didn't the grasshopper come here yet? Six customers have booked this dish."

The waiter said: "It seems that the price of this dish is about to rise. Large areas of locusts have passed, and sporadic locusts are difficult to catch."

Originally, the locust was not nicknamed to eat enough, but now it is better, but it has become too little to eat when it comes to Dongping Mansion. The locust's heart is collapsed. It should have been a powerful person who blocked the sky and the sun, but unfortunately they all went into the oil pan.

At the same time, several nearby Jeju Prefecture and Quancheng Prefecture also launched a massive locust-killing campaign under the initiative of Cheng Wanli. Because it was discovered earlier and wiped out earlier, a locust plague that could bring about a catastrophe was eliminated in its infancy. However, some prefectures did not take this matter seriously, such as Qingzhou Prefecture and Gaotang Prefecture. The governments in these two places were busy scraping the land, so they could not take it at all. Only some bold people were exterminated there, with little effect. The reduction in summer grain production in the two places was a foregone conclusion. The early autumn grain seedlings were eaten by locusts and needed to be replanted. The people were suffering and the people were living in poverty.

In mid-May, it rained heavily for three consecutive days, and the locust plague was affected by the weather, which eased.

In Qingzhou Prefecture, Liu Dachui's blacksmith shop was decorated with lights. Neighbors came to congratulate him, and the one who took a few eggs and a hen. The people who suffered from locust plagues were having fun in their suffering.

Liu Han came back this time not only with the kids, but also with two coachmen and two carriages.

A few days ago, Liu Han had already sent the 20 taels of silver from the bride and a big horse to his father-in-law. The father-in-law was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about his words. His son-in-law was so promising that he returned home in glory not long after he went out.

Liu Han tidied up new clothes and sorted out the red flowers on his chest. The hairy child also sorted out the red flowers on his horse's head.

"Brother Mao, look at how my clothes are tidying up." Liu Han asked.

Mao Chi said: "It's great, go quickly and don't delay the time."

Liu Han rode a tall horse with red flowers to pick him up, and followed by several brothers from his family and hired drummers to pick him up along the way.

The father-in-law's family was not far apart, and Liu Han's parents died. The father-in-law and mother-in-law came with their daughters, worshiped the world, and entered the bridal chamber.

It is impossible to hold a big banquet or something. After all, Liu Han’s family is not a rich man, and there are not many customers. He spent five taels of silver and held more than a dozen tables of banquets, and finally got married successfully.

In the evening, the red candles swayed. After Liu Han and his wife Zhang finished the ceremony of Duke Zhou, they hugged their wife panting and said, "I'm sorry for you. I'm in a hurry and I didn't renovate the house, so I got the wedding."

Zhang touched Liu Han's face lovingly and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back forever, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"I have something to discuss with you." Liu Han said.

"Tell me, I'll listen."

"You know that my mother's death was kicked to death by the tax officer. I want to take revenge."

Zhang was shocked and sighed: "I knew you couldn't let go. I don't know how many tax officials killed these days have forced me to death. My family also forced me to pay an extra fifteen taels of silver. But can you escape after you take revenge?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone, I just teach him a lesson." Liu Han said.

Three days later, the tax officer who kicked Liu Hanniang to death came home drunk, and someone broke his leg on the way. The tax officer was so confused that he suddenly heard a sound and felt nothing. The next day he was rescued, and the person was fine, but his legs were useless. The case was said to be big or small, and Qingzhou Prefecture was in a mess recently, but Lord Murong was still singing and dancing to peace.
