Soon, the people of Lanlong County joined the team to catch locusts.
It is easy for ordinary people to communicate with each other.
At the beginning, the people of Wujiang were very grateful to the people of Lanlong for taking the trouble to come a long way to help them.
As a result, within a quarter of an hour, the people of Wujiang all knew that the people of Lanlong were not only helping to catch locusts, but also to sell them for money.
As a result, an outrageous scene appeared at the locust plague site: people from the two counties were happily catching locusts.
When the people of Wujiang learned that the locusts they caught were also sold on the street, they felt uncomfortable.
These are locusts from their Wujiang County. How can people from Lanlong County sell them for money?
No, absolutely not.
Wu Zhen saw that the swarm of locusts was still flying towards him, his brows furrowed and he muttered to himself.
"Why do I see more locust swarms than in Lanlong County?"
Mengyue also discovered this problem. The locust swarms passing through Wujiang County were more than twice as many as those in Lanlong County.
[Su, there are too many locusts.]
I know.
Seeing that the people of Lanlong County were bravely catching locusts, Mengyue felt that it was not a big problem.
After all, for the common people, a pound of locusts is five cents, and they will never be lazy if they can catch an extra pound.
But what Mengyue had not expected was that the people of Wujiang believed that these locusts belonged to their county, and the people of Lanlong County had no right to catch them and sell them for money.
When the people of Lanlong first arrived, the people of Wujiang were extremely moved.
Once their own interests were involved, they instantly forgot about the intention to help and only remembered that the people of Blue Dragon wanted to sell their locusts for money. How could this be allowed?
While Zhong Sen, Jiang Zhong and Wu Zhen were greeting each other, the mayor of Wujiang County came over.
"Greetings to the prefect."
"Stand up, what's wrong with the mayors?"
"Sir, you have to do something for the people of our county!"
Wu Zhen was a little confused when he heard this. The people in the county were all catching locusts and thinking about selling them for money. Why did they need him to do anything?
"What do you mean? Explain clearly."
"Sir, you don't know, the people of Lanlong County are too unreasonable."
He blushed when he spoke ill of the people in Lanlong County in front of Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong.
The key point is that several mayors did not even notice Wu Zhen's ugly expression, and just kept talking about how the people of Lanlong were not good.
"Alright, the people of Blue Dragon came all this way to help, and not only are you ungrateful, you even dare to say nonsense in front of Master. Considering that this is your first offense, Master will let it go this time. Go catch the locusts!"
Seeing that the county magistrate did not take it seriously, several mayors simply explained it clearly.
"Sir, you know that the people of Lanlong came to help for a purpose. They caught the locusts in our county and wanted to sell them for money."
At this moment, Wu Zhen completely understood the intentions of the mayors, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
There are so many locusts that the people of Yu County cannot catch them all. Instead of letting the locusts escape and cause harm to other places, it is better to let the people of Lanlong catch them. Whether they sell them for money or eat them themselves is their freedom.
"So what? You should now face reality and see who the real enemy is. You should find a way to catch more locusts instead of complaining behind their backs and hurting the hearts of the Blue Dragon people."
"But sir, the locusts belong to our county. How can you let the people of Lanlong County sell them for money? I refuse to accept it."
Wu Zhen really didn't expect that at the critical stage of the "fight" against the locust swarm, people from his own county would be dragging their feet, and using such a ridiculous excuse.
