County Magistrate Zhong Sen also didn't think that if they brought people to support them, they would be considered to be taking advantage.
To be honest, the locusts collected by the young lady at the high price of five cents per pound did provide a very good way to make money for the people.
Yesterday, a swarm of locusts attacked Lanlong County. Every household caught a lot of locusts. The extra money they earned from selling them was equivalent to five years' net income, which made everyone feel the sweetness.
And when Miss Xiao and the others left yesterday, they said that the locust swarm would reach Wujiang County on the next day.
So much so that before dawn, there were already many people standing at the gate of the county government office, all of whom had agreed to come to Wujiang to help catch locusts.
Zhong Sen certainly understood what people were thinking. The locusts caught in Wujiang would naturally be sold for money.
After all, the locust plague will pass sooner or later. If you want to make more money, you must seize the opportunity.
The people of Wujiang were not stupid and could see clearly the purpose, so it was understandable that they did not allow them to catch him.
You know, what we catch is not just locusts, but Bai Ni Ni's money. Who would be willing to give it up?
It’s just that there are too many locusts, and the people of Wujiang don’t let the people of Lanlong catch them, and they have nothing to say.
As a county magistrate, Wu Zhen always considered the overall situation no matter what problems he encountered.
The most important thing at the moment is to kill these locusts. It doesn’t mean that the people of a certain county can catch the locusts just because they come from that county.
He will not be lenient with the current situation.
"If anyone disagrees, please speak out now."
"Sir, I refuse to accept this unless the people of Lanlong County are not allowed to sell locusts."
"My lord, I don't accept it either."
"My Lord, so am I."
…
Seeing that all the mayors were dissatisfied, Wu Zhen said coldly: "It's okay if you don't accept it. After the locust plague is over, I will arrange for people to take your places."
"Ah, sir, I didn't say anything."
"Sir, you are right. I will do it right away."
In the blink of an eye, the mayor, who had just been shouting his dissatisfaction, ran away.
You must be joking. We can't let the county magistrate find a reason to strip them of their positions as mayors just because of this incident.
Wu Zhen watched the mayors leave, but his frown remained on his face.
After so much time, the number of locusts covering the sky has not decreased much, and he said to Zhong Sen and Jiang Zhong.
"County Magistrate Zhong, County Lieutenant Jiang, I'm going to catch locusts. Please do as you please."
"Master Wu, we are here to help catch locusts. You are insulting us by saying that."
"Thank you." Wu Zhen thanked him sincerely.
Then the three of them joined the locust catching team.
[Host, I estimate we can harvest quite a few locusts in one day.]
【Um. 】
Mengyue looked at the locusts which were increasing in number instead of decreasing in number and nodded with satisfaction.
Yesterday she thought she could harvest a lot of locusts, but the result was not very ideal.
After all, tens of thousands of ducks consumed an astonishing number of locusts alone.
She had a vague intuition that even if she harvested all seven counties in Qingshan Prefecture, it would probably not take long for the locusts she collected to feed more than 50,000 ducks.
You should know that a duck eats an average of 200 locusts, so in a day, it will consume 10 million locusts.
