"Xiaocai, take a team to the north!"
"quack!"
When Mengyue gave the order, Zheng Shao and the five county magistrates and others did not dare to move at all. They were really shocked by Mengyue's move.
The most important thing was that the more than 10,000 ducks that Zheng Shao had people release were actually added to the army of ducks brought by Mengyue following Mengyue's orders.
This scene not only shocked Zheng Shao and the five county magistrates, but even the people with the surname Qi who were trying hard to catch locusts nearby stood there motionless.
What was even more unexpected was that this newly married girl could not only lead an army of tens of thousands of ducks, but also surrounded the locusts in her arrangement.
As small teams were separated, the quacking sounds of ducks could be heard one after another, and they ran happily towards the locusts.
And in the process of catching locusts, the calls made by the ducks from time to time formed beautiful and melodious music, which made people's blood boil and brought hope to everyone present.
In less than an incense stick of time, the originally surging swarm of locusts was swept away by the army of ducks, and had no power to fight back. Every locust became food for the ducks.
Moreover, this unexpected result was slowly pushed outward under the guidance of a girl.
Zheng Shao's mood had been up and down like a roller coaster, but now he had finally regained his composure and was able to speak to people in a normal tone.
"Master Sun, who is this girl?"
"Master Zheng, you must be very grateful to Miss Mengyue this time. If it weren't for the army of ducks she brought with her, we wouldn't be able to escape."
Zheng Shao understood the meaning of Sun Biao's words.
If it weren't for the duck army, Lanlong County would have suffered heavy losses, bringing devastating disaster to countless people.
Lucky! Lucky!
Zheng Shao then walked up to Mengyue, bowed, and said sincerely, "Miss Mengyue, on behalf of all the officials of Lanlong County and the Meng family, I, Zheng, thank you for your assistance."
Mengyue realized what Zheng Shao wanted to do, so she stood still and accepted the gift with grace.
Zheng Shao was right. If it weren't for her, the people in Lanlong County would definitely not be able to stop locusts of such a size.
"Master Zheng, this is what I should do, and I have something else I want to tell you."
Since Mengyue brought ducks to help kill locusts, Zheng Shao now has a very good impression of Mengyue.
He secretly made up his mind that as long as Mengyue's words were not excessive and within the scope of his authority, he would satisfy her.
Mengyue didn't know what Zheng Shao was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.
"Master Zheng, I'm currently buying locusts at 500g per pound. Can you tell me if the county can sell them to me at that price?"
At this time, County Magistrate Zhong Sen and County Lieutenant Jiang Zhong came over. They had just heard Meng Yue say that they were buying locusts at a high price of five pounds per catty.
Without waiting for Zheng Shao to speak, the two of them said impatiently, "Sure, sure."
After saying that, he apologized to Zheng Shao.
"Sir, we can't miss such an opportunity. We must accept it first."
"Yes, yes, sir, it's rare to find someone harvesting locusts. I heard that there are people harvesting them in a village in Wuning County. I've always envied them, but I didn't expect that there are people harvesting locusts in our county too."
Zheng Shao understood why the two were so excited and naturally did not blame them.
If Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong hadn't responded so hastily, he would have agreed!
After confirming the authenticity of the locust purchase with Mengyue again, Zheng Shao looked at Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong.
The two have been with Zheng Shao for many years and know their master very well.
Zheng Shao just gave them a look, and the two of them immediately went to the crowd to spread the news.
