I really don't want to rebel

Chapter 108 The Locust Plague Is Coming

Locust plague!

For farmers, it is the most terrible disaster.

The plague of locusts has crossed the border, and no grass will grow!
If there is a severe drought, farmers can save some crops by carrying water to irrigate the land.

But the locust plague is different, you can't fight it!You killed one or two, it's totally useless!
What is overwhelming?The locust plague is the best explanation.

Jiang Yunfan asked anxiously, "Where did the locust plague go? Where did it fly?"

"There are both east and north." A bandit said.

Jiang Yunfan was struck by lightning, something bad happened!
Never thought about locust plagues!
If the plague of locusts comes, there will be no harvest in the land of Xifeng, and some people will rebel, and the disaster relief food shipped to Xizhen will not be able to be transported!

So will the princes of the western frontier wait to die?

Certainly not.

At that time, the vassals of the western frontier will point their finger at the lush and lush South County!
And Huayang County is the gateway to Nanjun!
"Second brother, you can lend me a loan right away. The eldest brother is coming soon. When the eldest brother comes, you take them back to Huayang County." Jiang Yunfan said.

Jiang Yunfan rode on Heidian and hurried back to the city.

What he has to do now is to fight against the overwhelming locusts!
Heidian is indeed a good horse, it sent Zhao Qing'er back first, then brought the old housekeeper here, and fought for a while, and now it is still running fast.

Niu Dali arrived with his men, and together with Sun Hao, gathered these bandits.

Jiang Yunfan was anxious and wanted to go back quickly and tell everyone to collect food.

Although the crops haven't grown well yet, it will take about ten days, but time is not waiting for us!
Crops can be harvested in advance, it is nothing more than a reduction in production, and reduction in production is better than no harvest, right?
Before Jiang Yunfan ran far, he saw many folks coming with various guys in their hands.

"Master Jiang, are you alright?"

"I heard that someone is causing trouble for Young Master Jiang, so we are all here!"

"Whoever dares to make trouble, I will smash his head with a hammer!" The blacksmith shop owner waved the sledgehammer in his hand.

Jiang Yunfan's heart warmed up, but he also knew the priorities, and shouted: "Folks, listen to me, the locusts have been plagued in the western frontier! Maybe they will come to us soon, everyone, hurry up and collect food, as much as you can collect!"

When the people heard this, they were covered in cold sweat with fright.

If the plague of locusts came, then everything would be gone!
"Harvest the grain quickly! If you harvest it now, the yield will be smaller, which is better than no harvest!" A man rushed back.

"Yes, yes, yes! If there is a plague of locusts, there will be nothing left, so collect the food quickly."

Jiang Yunfan shouted: "Everyone, don't rush to gather the ears of rice. After cutting them, find something to put them in, or just bury them on the spot! Cover the grain tightly with soil, and the locusts will have nothing to do!"

"That's right! It's a waste of time to sort out the ears of rice. After harvesting the rice, just bury it. After the locusts have passed, we'll dig it out and tidy it up slowly!" A middle-aged man agreed.

"That's it! This saves time, hurry up and harvest!"

Jiang Yunfan didn't stop, and rode Heidian back to the city.

After all, there were still many people in the city who hadn't been notified, and the four villages under Huayang County didn't know about it either, so he had to send the news over there as soon as possible.

After Jiang Yunfan finished reporting the letter, the sky was already dark, smoke was coming from his throat, and he didn't even drink his saliva.

Jiang Yunfan thought of going to discuss the chamber of commerce with the shop owners at night, he had a headache and couldn't go!

I can't go to the Chamber of Commerce at night, and now I can't wait!How can I care about the chamber of commerce?
If there is no harvest in Huayang County, the Chamber of Commerce will also suffer a huge blow. Huayang County is the root of Jiang Yunfan!Huayang County suffered a plague of locusts, so his roots would be ruined!

At this time, there was a lot of noise in the distance, and I saw shopkeepers walking in shorts and holding sickles.

"Master Jiang, we are here to help!"

"Young Master Jiang, we are here to help the villagers collect food, and all the guys in my store have brought them!"

Some merchants from other places also came and said, "Young Master Jiang, there is no rush to establish a chamber of commerce. We will collect the grain first, and then we will talk about cooperation. In the future, my family will come to Huayang County to settle down. Everyone will be a I have a neighbor, so at this juncture, I naturally want to help my neighbor!"

"Yes, we'll talk about the cooperation after we're done. Let's help first!"

Jiang Yunfan stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, bosses, from now on, all bosses will be partners of my Yunshang Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce!"

Jiang Yunfan was exhausted today, and now he has no strength left.

In the morning, he went to various marriage proposal sites, then went to recruit talents, and in the afternoon, he went to Zhaomang Mountain to rescue Sun Hao, and when he came back, he ran across the entire Huayang County and four villages.

Not only was he exhausted, even Sun Hao's Hei Dian was so tired that his legs were weak.

Fortunately, the cultivated land in Huayang County is not far away and is relatively concentrated, so it might be possible to speed up the process.

Now Huayang County can be said to be mobilized by the whole people!All the people came.

The servants of the dignitaries, the bosses and clerks of the shops, the government's arresting yamen servants, and even the prostitutes from the Piaoxiangyuan came to help!

"Refresh the system mall!" Jiang Yunfan thought.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Jiang Yunfan clicked Refresh, if it can help, it would be great.

【Ding!The system mall has been refreshed successfully, today's product: low-quality sickle]

[Inferior Sickle: A sickle with poor manufacturing technology.Price: 1 penny a handful]

"Buy [-]!" Jiang Yunfan said.

【Ding!Twenty thousand low-quality scythes have been stored in your personal inventory. 】

【Ding!Current property: 56800 taels of silver and 532 copper plates]

Jiang Yunfan called over a dozen young men and took them to an abandoned thatched hut.

Jiang Yunfan extracted [-] low-quality sickles into the thatched hut, and began to let a dozen young men carry the sickles.

You must know that many people don't hold sickles!

How many sickles does a farmer have in his home?Most likely no more than two!
There are about 4 people harvesting grain now!More than half of the guys in their hands are kitchen knives, and the kitchen knife really shouldn't be too slow to cut food!
The eyes of a dozen or so young men were shining. If each of them had a scythe in hand, the efficiency would definitely be improved a lot!

The boys called a lot of people to help carry the sickles together. After all, [-] sickles is not a small amount, and it is still too slow for a dozen people to move.

More than 100 people helped carry the sickle together, and distributed it to those who did not have a sickle when they arrived in the fields.

With sickles, people can harvest food much faster and more efficiently.

Huayang County is a relatively wealthy county, so there is a lot of land.

Among the 30 households, about half of the population is farmers, and each family has about [-] mu of land.

This number sounds very scary, but you must know that in ancient times, the land was sparsely populated!30 mu of land per household is really not much, especially in a county like Huayang County with a large area.

Roughly added together, the crops planted can reach nearly 20 mu!

The land of the rich and gentry is even more terrifying!The less is about a few hundred acres, and the more can reach thousands of acres!
Huayang County is rich and closely related to its land.

Jiang Yunfan was walking in the field, watching tens of thousands of people harvesting grain, and shouted: "Those who are not familiar with how to harvest, go dig a hole! Dig a big hole! Don't confiscate it by then, locusts will come, dig What a pit, just bury grain in it! Anyway, it won’t sprout in a few days!”
