The 30,000 ducks raised by Li Mengyue eat a lot every day and grow very fast. The big ones weigh three or four kilograms.

Fortunately, she had bought more than a thousand acres of land before, so she didn't have to worry about the ducks having no place to live. Otherwise, her family would not be able to raise 30,000 ducks.

Since Li Mengyue was very busy every day, she usually didn't take care of the ducks. The ducks were brought from the Infinite Breeding Base. As long as she gave the order, the ducks would not only not run around, but also work hard to eat locusts. They were well-fed.

Mrs. Li saw that the ducks were well-behaved and obedient every day, and she often praised the ducklings, which made Li Mengyue laugh and cry.

Li Mengyue's duck farming was going smoothly. County Magistrate Yang took away 100,000 ducklings from Li Mengyue. According to Li Mengyue's request, 10,000 ducklings were distributed to each county.

However, the magistrate of Mengchuan County thought that the locust plague was nonsense, and using the method of raising ducks to kill locusts was not reliable at all.

Faced with the ducks that County Magistrate Yang distributed to their county, they not only mocked and disdainfully, but also thought that the other county magistrates were crazy and had unclear minds for fooling around with Yang Zhijin.

Yang Zhijin was ridiculed by the magistrate of Mengchuan County, so he would not try to please the magistrate. He decisively distributed the 10,000 ducklings that were supposed to belong to Mengchuan County to other counties.

During this period, the little ducks in other counties also played a huge role, eating countless locusts and insect eggs, and to a certain extent, alleviating the damage caused by locusts to crops.

However, the locust plague covered too wide an area. Yang Zhijin had submitted a memorial long ago, but he had not yet received an imperial decree from the court.

Born into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, he is the legitimate eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the second son and inherit the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

But after giving birth to him, his mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, leaving him alone.

As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Before his father and mother's bodies were cold, Qin Huiyan was married home with the ceremony of a legal wife in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and she became the new mistress of the marquis's mansion.

He was still a little baby and only knew how to eat and drink. If it weren't for the protection of his grandmother, he would have died as a result of Qin Huiyan's scheme.

Not to mention living to adulthood, he probably wouldn't even live to be three years old.

After all, it is very easy for the inner house to make a child who knows nothing disappear quietly.

Fortunately, although his father looked down on him and even regarded him as a disgrace, allowing that woman to abuse him, he still survived tenaciously.

Later, his maternal grandfather took him away from the mansion in the name of studying, and he lived a stable and peaceful life.

However, as he grew up, he could be made a son, but his father always found various excuses to shirk the responsibility.

Of course he understood what she meant. She just wanted that woman to deal with him, to lose his qualification to be a wife, or even to die, to make room for their precious son.

Little did they know that he had never thought of inheriting the Marquis's Mansion, nor was he interested in the position of prince, but they kept jumping on his bottom line.

Of course he would not let them get what they wanted, and would not say anything about giving up his position.

However, he was also impatient with being forced to get involved in the fight and wanted to live a peaceful life, but someone refused to let him have his way, so he requested to be demoted to the position of magistrate in Wuning County.

However, his father and Qin Huiyan saw that he had ended up in a poor place and thought that he had fallen into depravity. Even if he returned to Beijing in the future, he would have no chance to inherit the Marquisate, so they did not target him so much.

During the time he was the magistrate of Wuning County, although he was busy with official duties and his living conditions were poor, which was a far cry from the Marquis' Mansion, he felt at ease and lived a fulfilling life every day.

In such a situation, he naturally didn't want to be disturbed by anyone or anything.
