Things ended here, and the fate of Zhu Lei and Liu Quan was already doomed.
Yang Zhijin ignored the two dying people and walked towards Mengyue and Xie Ruiyuan.
He actually wanted to ask Xie Ruiyuan when the second lady of the Xiangfu married his future princess.
But he had more important things to do at the moment, and he had already discovered it on the way to Xinghua Village.
The seven villages of Xinghua Village, Lianhua Village, Taohua Village, Shitou Village, Guihua Village, Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village are all working hard to dig rivers and build reservoirs.
While on the way, he was not idle at all. He caught up with the son of Village Chief Wang and asked him everything clearly.
Therefore, he also knew who proposed to build the reservoir, and the river that connected the entire Qingshan Town was all proposed by Meng Yue.
When he heard that it was related to Mengyue, he was surprised but also felt that it was reasonable.
It was indeed something that Mengyue could do. It seemed that ever since he met Mengyue, she had always brought him surprises.
Especially when the locust plague came and everyone was in panic and despair, it was Mengyue who stood up and led everyone to turn the tide.
Not only were the locusts eliminated in Wuning County, but Lanlong County, Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, Gugang County, and Mengchuan County also benefited from it, reducing to a certain extent the losses caused by the locust plague to the people of the Zhou family.
The most important thing is that when the duck army was sweeping the locusts, Mengyue offered a high price to the people with the surname Qi to buy the locusts, and treated all the people with the surname Qi in the county equally, at a price of five cents per catty.
To be honest, not to mention that the people of the Qi clan would go crazy when they heard the price, even he who was not short of money was a little tempted. Five cents a catty is not five cents a catty. The locusts were so numerous that you could easily catch a handful. It didn't take much effort. Every household could get a few catties and easily make a few taels of silver.
You have to know that for an ordinary farmer, a few taels of silver was the total income of his entire day, and many families could not even earn less than five taels of silver per day. Even if there was no locust plague, it would be unlikely that they would have enough to eat.
But after the large-scale locust plague came, everyone thought it was over. In order to survive, they might have to leave their homes and flee to other places.
Who would have thought that there would always be a way out? When everyone was in trouble, they felt that there was no way to survive under the gnawing of locusts.
However, the duck army led by Mengyue created a way for the people with the surname of Qi in the seven counties of Qingshan Prefecture to survive.
There was an army of ducks in front eating locusts non-stop, and people behind them caught locusts and sold them for money. In a short while, there was a black mass of countless locusts, which destroyed the delicacies on people's tables and provided a way to make money.
So every time Mengyue arrived in a county, the local people would go crazy. They no longer worried that the locusts would eat up all the crops. They would just try to find ways to catch more locusts. After all, they could earn five cents for one pound of locusts per table. If a family worked together to catch locusts for a day, they would no longer be afraid that they would have to flee because of a locust plague.
During the period of clearing the locusts, he followed the whole process and understood very well what Mengyue brought to the people.
Therefore, when he heard from the son of Village Chief Wang that the seven villages in Qingshan Town had begun to build reservoirs and dig rivers under the leadership of Mengyue.
He knew that the refugees in front of the factory were saved. Although he ordered people to provide porridge every day, this was only a temporary measure. In the short term, it was fine and no problems could be seen. But over time, contradictions began to emerge.
For example, before he came to Xinghua Village, he was dealing with conflicts among refugees.
