Ever since he discovered that Wuning County and even the entire prefectural city might be hit by a locust plague, he had not dared to relax and had tried every possible way to make preventive preparations in advance, hoping that when the locust plague really came, the losses would not be too devastating.
What made him happy was that Yun Mengyue, the fake daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, oh no, now it should be Li Mengyue, actually had abilities that were not inferior to men.
They learned about the locust plague earlier than him and got a lot of ducklings to eat locusts and insect eggs.
Although he didn't know what method Li Mengyue used to get more than 100,000 ducks at once, he knew that the ducks distributed to various counties and towns would definitely play an immeasurable role in this locust plague.
Of course, if the entire city was hit by a locust plague as he suspected, tens of thousands of people would be affected. Due to the lack of food and drink, they would most likely flee their homes, become refugees, or even rise up in rebellion.
At that time, the imperial court will naturally send a large army to suppress it, and the people who have no combat experience will naturally become victims.
This was not what he wanted to see. He went to Wuning County as the county magistrate, not only to escape the struggle in the marquis's mansion, but also to rely on his own abilities to let the people under his rule live a good life, realize his human value, and make his life worthwhile.
But he is only a county magistrate now, and has absolute say in Wuning County. When it comes to other counties and the provincial capital, he has no control over them.
Logically, he should report the locust plague directly to the prefect, and not report it to a higher level.
But as far as he knew, the prefect was from the eldest prince's faction, and he had a good relationship with the third prince privately.
The crown prince, as the heir to the throne, has not yet been decided. The current emperor already has four princes who are over 50 years old, namely the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince.
Among them, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were born to Concubine Rou, the second prince's mother was Concubine Sheng, and the third prince was the legitimate son of the Empress.
According to the conventions of the Zhou dynasty, the crown prince is the legitimate son, not the eldest son. It is legitimate for the third prince to be the crown prince.
However, the power of the Yu family was too great, and the talents they trained became officials in the court and controlled most of the power in the court.
Fortunately, the major families are not of one mind, and their struggles are quite fierce both openly and privately, so that although the current emperor is sad to be caught in the middle, he can still get by.
Being in power is nothing compared to having all the power in your own hands.
Judging from the time he submitted the memorial, if nothing went wrong on the way, there should be news.
Until now, the memorial has fallen into oblivion, and not even a sound has been heard since it was handed in.
He guessed that either they were intercepted by someone, or the ministers in the court failed to come up with a good solution, or the current emperor did not take the matter seriously.
After figuring out these problems, Yang Zhijin would no longer pin his hopes on the court, but would find ways to reduce the harm caused by the locust plague to the people.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Come in."
“Squeak!”
Yang Run pushed open the door, walked into the study, and said respectfully to Yang Zhijin, "Master, thank you for coming to visit."
When Yang Zhijin heard this, excitement appeared on his face, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Yun Zhou now?"
As he asked, he stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.
At first glance, it was clear that Yang Zhijin wanted to pick up Xie Yunzhou in person.
"Master, I have arranged for Master Xie to stay in the reception hall."
