Mengyue had no news about the disaster victims in the south, nor did she know that the victims had been abandoned by the court.
On the road from the south to the north, as far as the eye can see, there are tons of disaster victims swarming towards the north like locusts.
But when she heard what County Magistrate Yang said, she couldn't help but be surprised.
You know, last time County Magistrate Yang advised himself not to raise ducks blindly and to live a good life.
Unexpectedly, this time County Magistrate Yang came to ask him to buy ducklings, not dozens or tens of them, but one hundred thousand.
Hearing County Magistrate Yang say this, Mengyue knew that the other party was well aware that there would be a locust plague in Wuning County, and the area was quite large, which was why he wanted so many ducklings.
Although she was thinking of letting villagers in surrounding towns raise ducks, County Magistrate Yang helped solve this big problem.
After all, if the government steps in, it will be more convincing, and the people will not resist and will support them obediently.
But one hundred thousand ducklings is not a small number, and she can indeed get them. However, when even the county magistrate couldn't get ducklings, she could easily get tens of thousands of them, which was a big problem.
Mengyue was thinking about how to get the ducklings out of the infinite breeding base with a reasonable excuse without exposing the space system.
Yang Zhijin spoke.
"Miss, if you have any difficulties, a hundred thousand is enough. Less is also fine."
"A little less. Whatever amount, sir, you think is appropriate."
"Eighty thousand."
Seeing Mengyue's unhappy expression, Yang Zhijin changed his tone and said, "No, 70,000."
Seeing no sign of agreement from Mengyue, Yang Zhijin steeled his resolve, "Sixty thousand. It can't be any less. Miss Mengyue knows the situation now. If the entire county is ravaged by locusts, even if Qingshan Town can preserve its grain, it will be coveted by the other towns."
"Even if I am willing to be impartial, the dozens of people in the county government will not be able to stop me. What will happen then, I believe, is not what everyone wants to see."
Mengyue knew that what County Magistrate Yang said was right, but how could she reasonably come up with 100,000 ducklings?
Suddenly, she thought of someone, and Mengyue suddenly realized that she could borrow his name.
"In two days, Master Yang can pull 20,000 of them. Each one costs two cents, and you can finish the job in five days. But I have a small request."
"What?"
"I hope Lord Yang can give 10,000 to each of the other six counties in Qingshan Prefecture. My family has 30,000, and Lord Yang can take 10,000 today."
After hearing the affirmative answer that he could still bring 10,000 today, Yang Zhijin picked up the tea on the table again.
Yang Run, who was standing outside the door, saw that his master had already drunk three cups of tea and took a sip from time to time. He couldn't help but feel curious. Is farm tea really that delicious?
Yang Zhijin got a definite answer and prepared to go back.
Not to mention that there were still many matters waiting for him to deal with in the government office, even if there were so many ducklings, he would have to post notices and ask the leaders of other villages and towns to come and collect the ducklings and distribute them to the people.
Of course, the ducklings were not free, so Mengyue asked him for two cents for each one.
Even if he doesn't make money from the Qi family, he wants the villagers to raise ducks willingly.
If we just let the entire county raise ducks, without a convincing reason, I'm afraid many people will disagree.
There is also the issue of distribution. It is a very complicated task to check how many households there are in the entire county.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhijin could no longer sit still and wanted to return to the county government office as soon as possible.
"Miss, the government office is still busy, I have to go back."
"Sir, please stay until you finish your meal."
"No, we'll talk about it next time. Oh, by the way, give me some decoration for the tea I brewed today."
Seeing that County Magistrate Yang asked for tea without hesitation, Mengyue took out the tea that had been packaged in advance and placed it on the table.
In fact, when she saw County Magistrate Yang drink three cups of tea in a row, she knew that he was very satisfied with her tea, so she specially packed some for County Magistrate Yang.
The reason for this is that she had an idea, that is, Xingying Village is backed by a mountain, and there are many wild tea trees on the mountain. They can pick tea and make tea, which can provide villagers with extra income.
She is also very confident in the tea she roasts. Even without adding spiritual spring water, it tastes very refreshing, without the slightest greasy feeling of tea. It also has a sweet aftertaste and has a very good effect of refreshing the mind.
I just want to expand the tea business and make it a specialty of Xingying Village. I also need to plant tea trees and have a business network.
This is not an easy matter, so let’s put it aside for now. The most important thing right now is the locust plague.
Five days later, County Magistrate Yang brought back 110,000 ducklings from Mengyue, 50,000 of which were sent to various counties and towns, and the remaining 60,000 were given to the other six counties.
But something unexpected happened in the middle. The magistrate of Mengchuan County did not want the ducklings and was unwilling to let the Qi family raise ducks.
Even though County Magistrate Yang hinted that there would be a locust plague, County Magistrate Mengchuan not only did not believe it, but also mocked County Magistrate Yang for worrying about nothing and doing useless things.
Seeing the other party's expression, Yang Zhijin didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he gave the 10,000 ducklings originally intended for Mengchuan County to the other five counties.
In Xingying Village, Mengyue raised some ducklings. Because they ate locusts every day, they grew into ducks weighing more than one kilogram in just over ten days.
Every morning, the ducks go out to look for food, and before the sun sets, they consciously return to the 200 acres of wasteland.
The villagers also said that the ducks they bought from the house were very easy to raise. They didn't need any care at all, didn't eat the food at home, and grew very fast.
If the ducks continue to grow at this rate, they will become adult ducks in more than a month. The males can be taken to the town to be sold, while the muntjacs can be left at home to lay eggs.
Many villagers thought about this and felt that the ducks they bought were too few, and wanted to buy a few more from the owner.
Because so many people came to her house to ask, Mengyue hatched another 10,000 ducklings from the Infinite Breeding Base.
It had just been pulled home from the house in town. People who got the news rushed to line up at the door of the house.
This time when the villagers bought ducks, they were not as hesitant and stingy as last time. They just asked for ten ducks and took ten ducks at a time. Some women even bought ducks for their parents.
It was also a coincidence that on the day of selling ducklings, villagers from other villages came to sell locusts. Seeing that the villagers of Xingying Village were buying ducklings crazily, they followed suit and started buying them.
So in the end, there were not enough ducklings to sell.
Seeing that the people queuing were three miles away, Mengyue promised that there would be more in two days, and the crowd dispersed.
When I got home, I saw my three younger brothers squatting on the ground.
Not knowing what the three were doing, Mengyue took a closer look and suddenly realized that it was time to fulfill the promise she had made to Yuyu.
