Chapter 1: Righteousness Comes and Compromises

Chapter 1: The righteousness comes and compromises

The people in the disaster-stricken areas were not willing to help catch locusts at the beginning. Some even invited a few larger locusts to their homes and wanted to keep them, so naturally they were raised to death.

Prime Minister Yao finally convinced all the people and court officials at the top, but the progress was not fast in the local area. He ordered local officials to organize manpower several times, which made him a little better. Unfortunately, after so long of cultivation, the locusts have become more, which makes people worried that they will spread to other governments.

In recent days, the people have started to catch locusts, but the results have not been great. When Yao Chong was preparing to give a tougher order, the army of Zhangjiazhuang came shaking, which made him feel much more at ease.

Xiaohong greeted Cherry and several officials, and couldn't wait to direct the poultry to rush into the fields or the wild. The chickens, ducks and geese rushed all the way, especially in the last half day, she didn't eat anything decent. With the example of the leading geese in front, she rushed over one by one.

Especially those chickens, they stepped on their legs, lowered their necks, flapped their wings, and ran so fast. All the locusts that appeared in front of them were one at a time, with their small mouths moving and their necks stretched, and a locust drowned. There was no hurry to chase after the locusts that were flying, and they just ate the ones in front of them.

Local people usually catch locusts at night. When igniting a fire, locusts will rush into the fire with all their might. During the day, the only tool is to put a pocket in front of a long pole. Use this to catch it. At the beginning, the speed is faster. As there are more locusts in the pocket, it will take some time to deal with it, which will naturally delay a lot of time.

These chickens, ducks and geese are different. They catch them and eat them directly. If the locusts fly to the front of the poultry team and continue to fly, they are lucky. If they fly in the wrong direction, they will fall directly towards the natural enemies below. Without waiting for the ground, they will be snatched from the air by these sensitive poultry.

Humans or some animals need to digest food by gastric acid, but poultry is grinded with grains, which contains sand that is usually eaten, and digests it much faster than others, and some even pull while eating.

Especially when they rushed all the way, they were always in a semi-hungry state and lost a lot of weight. At this time, they saw so many food supplements and were eating them hard. Their free-range poultry demand for food reached a level that was almost perverted.

You can eat two-thirds of your body weight or the same food in a day. You can imagine the number of grasshoppers that a chicken that is so big can fly up to more than two meters high on the ground. When eating locusts, your body also consumes energy.

Two quarters of an hour, in just two moments, the chickens, ducks and geese turned into small dots in people's sight. The fields they passed by were not much millet on them, and there was nothing to do with them. If they didn't eat this kind of thing, there was a lot of meat in front of them.

At the same time, no locust can be found where they swept. Occasionally, a few locust wings that have not been swallowed are mixed in chicken feathers and blown up by the wind.

The prime minister, those officials, and the people who came to watch the fun were shocked by this scene. So many poultry ran over and ran away in a blink of an eye. Not only did they eat locusts, but they also left a lot of feces along the way. The people were happy to see this situation. They could save a lot of trouble in the coming year and there was no need to go and find fat.

When Cherry saw this scene, she thought it was the young master's explanation, so she started to "recruit" among these people on the spot. Under the supervision of the people from the inner courtyard, some people were recruited, and those who were responsible for following behind to pick up eggs, could take one home for every fifty eggs.

This can be accumulated. You can pick up fifty ones at a time, and you can change one egg directly. You can pick up one hundred and fifty ones in two days, and you can change them together after a few days. Or you can just turn them into other things without changing the eggs, and you will find a way to transfer the cherries.

Nearly 10,000 poultry, the male ones left were all female ones, and there were also many roosters in the farm, but they were not sent. Usually, they could produce more than 6,000 eggs a day. Because the food is good now, it can exceed 7,000, and the price paid in a day is less than 200.

Originally, she was afraid that everyone would not want to do it. After all, it would take poultry to lay eggs. But she couldn't imagine how much food the people here demanded for. Drought has become a foregone conclusion. Even if all tax adjustments are exempted in autumn, the locals will not have a good life.

They usually have nothing to do, so they follow behind. Even if they change one egg in two days, there are fifteen eggs a month. There are not many of these eggs in the past, and they have obtained the current form. When they hear the price of cherries for exchange for other items, the people choose to leave eggs. The price of cherries for exchange is the usual exchange rate, but not the price of food that is urgently needed now.

Cherry took a short while to find a hundred people, and the others later had no chance. If there were too many people, there would be no one egg in a few days. These hundred people were selected. If life was the hardest, choose which one would be the one.

Others who were not selected don't complain when they feel bad. They come here so far to help, and they are looking for the worst people in life. They can't even scold them. They also have their own methods. It's nothing they can pick up if they don't belong. They all start to catch locusts in other places, and even the children in the family need to help.

Some plants that obviously lacked food were cut off by them and made into simple chicken coops. They found Cherry and others to discuss, saying that at night, the poultry would come here to sleep, and they also provided locusts as supper.

Xiaohong, Cherry and others were all confused and did not understand why these people were so enthusiastic. There was a wise man in the inner courtyard to explain that these people were thinking of feces. Because the harvest was destined to be a bad harvest this year, some families who raised livestock had to sell their livestock to survive.

If people eat less, the local fertilizer will be much less next year. In order to have a good harvest next year, we have to find a way to save manure and wait for fertilizer.

Hearing these things, Xiaohong, Cherry and others even wanted to come and make money casually, they would pitifully make the local people. Cherry was the first person to follow Zhang Xiaobao. He was brave and responsible, and immediately ordered:

"Please let the farm go back to the farm with a fast horse, and transport the poultry that is also fastest to lay eggs by car and transport them at the fastest speed. The half-large chicks are also transported, and tell the farmers to compensate them according to the eggs every two days after they go back."

"Ah? They're all shipped? They're still compensated? Cherry girl, this compensation is a bit too much. They don't have to raise it anymore, and they will save a lot of feed."

When he heard Cherry's order, a person in the inner courtyard felt that the owner had paid too much, and he knew that he was afraid that it would be difficult to settle the accounts when he didn't get the poultry. Zhang and Wang's two families, 234 households, and 196 households all raised chickens, ducks and geese, all hatched by cherries. Now, the first two batches can lay eggs.

"I will do it by listening to me. I will take care of everything. The account is not calculated like this. The farmer raises chickens to get eggs, not to save feed. He must compensate. He hires a car and walks fast. There is still a lot of land here. He can't eat this little chicken and duck."

Cherry had already received the "authorization" when she came. She was the biggest. No matter what decision she made, others would obey unconditionally. Even if she said she would kill all the poultry, others would have to do it. If she did something wrong, she would naturally take care of the young master. But who dared not obey orders, beat her first and take it back to the master's house.

Seeing that the people in the inner courtyard could not convince, they had to obey orders, so they found a few horses, took another person, and transferred to Mercedes-Benz at the same time. They quickly went back to prepare the vehicle and recruit poultry. When the two thought of the more than 200 chickens, ducks and geese in each household, they felt a headache. How many cars do they have to find to pull them?

Looking at the quick movements of the two men in Zhangjiazhuang as they fly on horses and the riding skills of riding, Yao Chong looked at the guard beside him, and the guard immediately said: "Master, those two must be from military background. Look at the movements of the horses on the body just now, they have at least ten years of foundation. Look at the postures of the horses when they are riding, they must have passed the battle formation."

"Well, I heard from the county magistrate Cheng that Zhangjiazhuangzi found some people from the inner courtyard. It seems that these two were the ones who were later. Such people usually do some miscellaneous work, but they can charge in the battle at critical moments. Go back and check, where people from where people have been quit, and these two people are not old, so someone must have gained benefits in it."

Yao Chong seemed to be talking to himself, and when the dust that had risen when the two left was settled, he turned his eyes to the poultry that had turned around and ate all the way back from elsewhere.

He said to the document beside him: "Record this matter, and I will submit a memorial tonight to the two families of Zhang Wang, Tuqiao Village, Sanshui County, Binzhou, and fulfill the old man of the Zhang family once. He has both food and poultry. With such great efforts, the local people and officials are watching, but they can't hide it even if they want to."

Yao Chong really couldn't understand why Zhangjiazhuang valued the fiefs of the hundreds of households so much. Since that's the case, he also helped him a lot. If he gave him some benefits, he would give him some. If he suppressed him, he would be disappointed. Ten thousand chickens, ducks and geese would not be a decoration. All the prefectures and counties around him knew about it and sent people to invite them to eat locusts.

"Sir, I think that the Zhang family village is deliberately doing this, creating a big momentum and forcing the adults to show their merits. It is better to delay it." The clerk also knew the troubles of this matter. The Zhang and Wang family villages used righteousness to suppress others, and no one would feel comfortable.

"Don't talk nonsense. They moved first. At that time, the true nature had not yet reached this point. Everything was seen how the person who was inquiring there came back." Yao Chong's doubts became even more intense.
