At this time, the Huangyao County Magistrate said bluntly: "Brother Sun, something big has happened. It really has happened."
Shuimo County took up the conversation.
"Look to the south."
The five county magistrates all looked towards the southern sky at the same time, where dark clouds were moving rapidly.
Sun Biao swallowed hard, feeling the warmth of the sun, knowing in his heart that it couldn't be dark clouds and it wouldn't rain.
There was only one possibility left: the rolling black cloud was an army of locusts.
The first words the Wujiang County Magistrate said when he came to his senses were spoken with gritted teeth.
"Fuck, that kid Yang Zhijin actually guessed it right."
"It seems that this locust plague is difficult to avoid!"
"I don't think so." After experiencing the initial shock, Sun Biao has been seriously thinking about countermeasures.
"Brother Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Biao's face was always gloomy. He knew the urgency of the matter and was not afraid of being slapped in the face by Yang Zhijin. The most important thing was how to solve the locust plague.
Under his diligent governance, Mengchuan County was on the verge of becoming better and better, and was about to surpass Lanlong, the largest county in Qingshan. However, it was eventually hit by a locust plague.
"Lord Sun!"
Sun Biao was startled. Not only he, but also the other four county magistrates present felt their hearts sink when they saw the person coming.
Sure enough, the visitor said without hesitation, "The prefect has ordered that the locust plague is coming with great force, and every county may be affected. The county magistrate must establish a barrier to prevent the locusts from moving north, no matter what means are used. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed without mercy."
The five people present shuddered suddenly at the power of these words. This person was the most influential person around the prefect. It seemed that this locust plague was not only related to the future lives of the people in the county, but also closely related to the lives of each of them.
"Sir Sun, oh, the other county magistrates are here too. Did you hear clearly?"
"I understand!"
Well, now it’s not a matter of whether they take the initiative or not, but they must intercept the locusts. Otherwise, today is their death anniversary.
Then Sun Biao pushed away his subordinates who were trying to support him and turned around to walk towards the hall.
"Quickly notify the county clerk, assistants, subordinate officials, and teaching staff to come to discuss this matter. If I don't see them after a cup of tea, I will immediately dismiss them and investigate."
"Yes, sir."
Sun Biao knew that no matter what happened now, he had to put it aside for the time being and the most important thing was to deal with the locusts.
After all, as long as they can't hold the defense line, then the people under the jurisdiction of these county magistrates will fall into great despair and have no way to survive when the grain harvest fails.
He had worked so hard and finally made the economy of Mengchuan County develop rapidly, but he couldn't let this situation be disrupted because of this locust plague.
Perhaps, what they have to do now, in addition to finding ways to kill the locusts, is to be prepared. If their counties are unable to stop them, they must also think of response measures in advance and how to properly resettle the affected people.
In less than an incense stick of time, all the personnel were present and obeyed Sun Biao's command.
Sun Biao said without further ado, "The locust plague is coming. If you want to survive, you must hold on at all costs. Have people prepare things to catch the locusts. No matter what, stop the locusts now."
"Yes, sir," everyone shouted.
It was a pity that before they left the county government office, the sky, which had originally been able to see the sun, turned dark, as if the end of the world had come.
At this moment everyone had the same thought.
"Oh no, the locust army is coming."
Sun Biao also noticed the sky and looked up stiffly.
The entire sky was covered by a swarm of locusts, and the sunny day turned dark.
Such a shocking scene will be unforgettable for him in his life.
