As the whistle ended, bursts of bird calls came from the surrounding mountains and trees, as if responding to the whistle.
Everyone looked in the direction Qian Jue pointed and saw a group of birds of different colors flying towards them quickly.
"It's birds, all kinds of birds."
One of the yamen runners said excitedly, "Are these birds here to catch locusts? But not all of them eat locusts."
Yu Yiluo raised her lips and said, "It's fine as long as I can kill it. It doesn't matter whether I eat it or not."
A huge flock of birds flew to Yu Yiluo, surrounded her, and one of them landed on her shoulder.
Yu Yiluo raised her finger and pointed at the black mass of locusts, saying coldly, "Go, get rid of them all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flock of birds surrounding them flapped their wings quickly and flew towards the locust swarm.
The yamen runners were so surprised that their eyes almost fell to the ground.
They were not mistaken, the flock of birds just now were indeed summoned by the little princess.
It turns out that this is the little princess's helper.
Others weren't much better.
The angry people on the ridges of the fields saw the locust swarm getting closer and closer, and raised the weapons in their hands as if to attack.
Suddenly, one of the people shouted, "Look, a lot of birds suddenly appeared."
"These birds aren't coming here to eat the wheat, are they?"
"No, you see, the birds are eating the locusts. They are not here to eat our wheat."
The people observed for a while and found that it was indeed the case. They all put down their sticks and jumped excitedly on the ridges of the fields, shouting as they jumped.
"We have saved our wheat, we have saved it."
"There's food to eat, so you don't have to go hungry anymore."
After working hard for a whole season and looking forward to the harvest, they ended up getting eaten by locusts. They were so angry that their hearts ached, but there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, these birds suddenly appeared and guarded the last wheat field for them.
"Why are these birds eating locusts? Is it the little princess who has come?"
Some people had heard about Yu Yiluo's experience in Xinglin County and expressed their guesses.
"That's impossible. If the little princess came, there would be no news at all."
They were still arguing when a childish voice sounded from above.
"Hey, don't be silly and eat them all. Just bite them to death. Otherwise, there will be too many locusts and you will get too full."
Yu Yiluo looked at the silly birds she summoned and saw that they ate all the locusts foolishly, and couldn't help but remind them.
The flock of birds, with their bellies bulging, heard Yu Yiluo's order and immediately spat out the locusts in their mouths. They started to bite them one by one, throwing them down after they were dead.
[That's right, I'll keep it for everyone to replenish protein.]
【Come and eat the people's food, leaving your own life behind, in exchange.】
The corners of Empress Xian's mouth twitched.
Could it be that Luo'er wants them to eat this thing too?
"Sir County Magistrate, is that the little princess above?"
When the people on the ridge of the field heard Yu Yiluo's voice, they put their hands to their mouths to make a trumpet shape and asked loudly to Cai Ze who was standing halfway up the mountain.
"Yes, it was Princess. The locusts were quickly eliminated."
Cai Ze also raised his voice to respond to the people who were asking questions.
"It's really the little princess. The little princess is here to help Changshan."
The people below became excited again.
Under the attack of the flock of birds, the locusts were quickly wiped out, and Cai Ze took a few people down the mountain.
"Go to the ridge of the field just now."
Cai Ze was confused. "Hasn't the locust plague been dealt with? Princess and Concubine Xian, please go back and rest. Leave the rest to me."
Yu Yiluo continued, "It's okay. Take me down. Those locusts will be useful."
Qian Jue became interested and asked with raised eyebrows.
"What's the use?"
Yu Yiluo looked at him with a smile and kept him in suspense.
"You'll find out in a moment."
When they reached the edge of the field, the people quickly gathered around them and all knelt on the ground.
"We have no way of repaying the little princess's kindness."
"Hurry up and get up," Yu Yiluo looked at the sunburned people on the ground, "You are the people of Tianqi. It is only right that the court sends people to solve the problem. Hurry up and help me with something. Don't kneel down."
When the people heard that Yu Yiluo had something for them to do, they hurriedly stood up and patted their chests.
"Just follow my orders, little princess. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Yu Yiluo laughed and said, "Help me pick up all these locusts on the ground and bring them back to the county government office."
The people were curious, but didn't ask any questions.
After they finished picking up the things, Yu Yiluo's eyes were curved with smile.
[This is a lot, all protein. I'll let everyone taste it later.]
"Now that the locusts have been dealt with, everyone should go back and rest."
Mu Chen recalled what the emperor had said in the court and said, "Little Princess, I have something I want to tell you all."
Yu Yiluo nodded, "Go ahead."
"When the princess, Empress Xian, and I arrived, the emperor said that Changshan County had suffered a locust plague, so this year's taxes would be reduced."
The people cheered instantly, and then all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Long live the emperor."
…
After returning to the county government office, Qian Jue went close to Yu Yiluo again.
"What on earth are you keeping those locusts for?"
Yu Yiluo raised her eyebrows and said, "Here, eat it."
After saying that, he turned around and asked Cai Ze without caring about Qian Jue's expression.
"Why aren't Li Qian and Yang Xin here?"
"They are busy researching some new products recently."
The two of them originally wanted to help him, but he felt that they couldn't do much, so he just let them mind their own business.
As they were talking, Li Qian and Yang Xin walked in with smiles on their faces and bowed to Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo.
"Greetings to Her Majesty Empress Xian, Little Princess."
Empress Xian put the empty bowl aside and said softly, "Get up quickly."
"We heard that the locust plague was resolved. We heard along the way that the little princess and Empress Xian had arrived, so we hurried back."
"It's solved," Yu Yiluo looked at Yang Xin mischievously, "and Lord Mu is here too."
"Master Mu is beside us."
Cai Ze said at the right time.
"Sister Yang, go quickly."
Li Qian winked at Yang Xin, signaling her to go find Mu Chen.
Yang Xin blushed a little after being teased by several people, and quickly changed the subject.
"Empress Xian and the little princess, please stay a few more days this time and have a good rest. Sister Li and I will finish the new products and bring them back to you."
[I really need to stay a few more days. I don't know if the princess has received the news yet.]
She had to get there quickly. She couldn't walk one day and rest the next. That would be a waste of time.
"I'll stay for a few days."
After chatting for a while, Yu Yiluo learned that the two of them now had two restaurants, as well as a canned fruit store and a rouge and powder store.
"By the way, I brought something good back. You guys can grill it later. It's delicious."
Under Yu Yiluo's guidance, Yang Xin opened the wrapped locust and was speechless for a long time.
"Little Princess, are you sure it's this?"
"That's right, you can try roasting some now, and take the rest to the restaurant to roast and sell. They will sell very well."
