The mercenary queen was bound by a system and transmigrated to the Great Zhou Dynasty, becoming the Prime Minister's fake young miss. She originally wanted to enjoy a comfortable retirement, bu...
But now, let alone hundreds of millions of locusts, it is estimated that even ten million have not been collected.
Because the locusts in the locust plague were either swept away by the duck army or consumed.
What's more, except for Mengchuan County, all other county towns in Qingshan Prefecture raise ducks, and they eat a lot of locusts every day.
At this point, Li Mengyue even fell into self-doubt, wondering if she had overestimated the locust plague.
It is not that the locusts reproduce very quickly, especially during a locust plague, when they can reach an alarming speed.
But what's going on with the locusts right now? There are so many of them, but it seems they're not enough to keep the ducks from attacking them.
Judging from the speed at which the ducks are eating the locusts, it is estimated that the locusts in Wujiang County will not last long.
Sure enough, before the afternoon, there were no more flying locusts, only a few of them were still flying.
The locust swarm in Wujiang County came to an end, and other counties gradually joined in the locust catching cause, sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.
The duck army led by Li Mengyue and the people from seven villages either collected locusts to maintain order or blew up locusts every day, so that every citizen in the county would know that locusts are edible and have the awareness to treat locusts as food.
Because Li Mengyue and others put a lot of effort into exterminating the locusts.
No matter which county town he arrived in, he would be welcomed by the local people. In addition, the county magistrates bought the Soul-Returning Pills from Li Mengyue, so they treated Li Mengyue very well.
So whenever there is a locust swarm in a county, Li Mengyue can lead people there without having to worry about food and sleep, as someone will take care of them.
It can be said that during the period when the locust plague hit, Li Mengyue was pregnant. Although she was very busy, she did not suffer much and it did not affect the baby in her belly.
Ten days later, most of the locust swarms that flew to Qingshan Prefecture were wiped out. They either became food for the ducks or were caught by the people and sold for money.
Of course, there are still many locusts in each county, but they are too scattered to gather into large numbers.
Even if they gnawed at the crops, the crops in the fields had already been harvested, so it would not cause much loss to the people. On the contrary, the arrival of the locust swarms made the people of Qingshan Prefecture earn a lot of money.
Because of this, the people in every county of Qingshan Prefecture knew Li Mengyue's name even if they didn't know who the county magistrate was.
[Host, the locust plague is finally over.]
Li Mengyue stood on a high slope in Gugang County, looking at the locusts flying past from time to time, and nodded in approval.
[I've been out for more than half a month this time, it's time to go back.]
[Ah, really? Host, let's go quickly!]
Listening to the system's cheering voice, Li Mengyue intuitively felt that Tuanzi was fine, and asked tentatively.
[You can't eat as much fried locusts as you want when you get back.]
[Ugh! Who wants to eat? Ugh, I've had enough.]
Seeing Tuanzi's pale face, Li Mengyue laughed unceremoniously.
Tuanzi has eaten a lot of fried locusts during this period, but now he feels sick just by looking at them, so he has no desire to eat them at all.
【Then why are you urging me to go back? 】
【Host, roast duck.】
The system was really afraid that Li Mengyue had forgotten about the roast duck, so it quickly reminded her.
When she heard the word roast duck, the corners of Li Mengyue's mouth twitched. She was indeed a little foodie. She had just finished eating the ducks and she was thinking about eating their meat.
Oh, no, the system was already thinking about it when the ducks were trying hard to catch locusts.
Now that the locust plague is about to end, I will naturally think about eating roast duck.
Li Mengyue looked at the more than 50,000 ducks. They had eaten a lot of locusts during this period and had grown a lot. They were now suitable for making roast duck.
But when you think about how she took these ducks out of the infinite breeding base and raised them for such a long time, she has made great contributions to the locust eradication.
