"Someone, bring the tools."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, countless chicken cages and ducks were brought up by the yamen runners.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw this scene. There were simply too many ducks.

The ducks I got from Li Mengyue have grown into half-grown ducks after more than two months, and each one is very ferocious when eating locusts.

But he had promised Li Mengyue that the ducks would be under her command.

This doesn't mean that he didn't have other preparations. He had already secretly asked people to buy chickens and ducks. Although these chickens and ducks were relatively small, they saved him a lot of money.

In addition, they collected a lot of rags and scraps from farmers and asked the women to sew them into nets to keep out the locusts.

At this time, the net made of cloth had been set up by the yamen runners.

The other five counties came to Yang Zhijin to see if he had any new methods to kill the locusts.

Seeing Yang Zhijin directing the yamen runners to break the net and move the chickens and ducks, he didn't want to just watch.

Everyone put aside their pride and helped without caring whether their clothes would get dirty.

Yang Zhijin naturally saw the actions of the five county officials, said nothing, and ordered the yamen runners to set up four more nets.

A net that is more than ten meters long can block locusts to a certain extent.

As long as it is not a large-scale attack, the net will not be destroyed in a short time.

In addition, although locusts can fly, they cannot fly very high.

Soon a large number of locusts entered the first net.

"Retreat, quickly to the ditch."

"yes."

The yamen runners poured the locusts from the first net into a pit dug in advance, and someone buried them nearby.

At this time, the second net moves forward and hits the position of the first net.

Sun Biao and other county officials understood the method of killing locusts, but they didn't care about chickens, ducks, rag nets, and killing them in pits. Although they were effective, they were not enough to deal with the locust army.

They originally came with high hopes, thinking that they could find a cure from Yang Zhijin, but they didn't expect it to be just like this.

I immediately felt a little disappointed and wanted to go back.

"Master Yang, we also need to go back and arrange for locust extermination, so we won't stay here long."

"So do I."

"Same here."

…

So all five counties, without exception, tendered their resignations.

Yang Zhijin naturally understood what the county magistrates meant, but he didn't have any effective solutions, and the county didn't have any extra chickens, ducks, or people to allocate to them.

I could only politely say, "Everyone, take care. I can't leave and can't see you off."

"No, no."

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

The sound became increasingly louder, stopping the five county officials in their tracks.

Because tens of millions of locusts still arrived in Wuning County near dusk.

"Here I come."

The five county officials did not leave in time, so now they can't leave even if they want to.

After all, a huge army of locusts was flying towards them.

Yang Zhijin didn't even bother to greet the five county officials, and just called people to start killing the locusts.

Dozens of yamen runners had never seen so many locusts since they were young.

So much so that when the locusts swarmed over, they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.

"What are you all standing there for? Stop them."
