After becoming the protagonist of abuse

The villagers rushed over to check the situation, and the old village chief also accelerated his speed while leaning on a cane.

The ducks that had been walking slowly into the field now moved much faster, swallowing the locusts around them one bite at a time.

However, the number of ducks is not many, and a small number of wheat suffered from disasters, and a few bites were eaten by locusts, which reduced a lot.

Some daring villagers gritted their teeth and threw stones, killing a few locusts, most of which entered the stomachs of ducks.

After the battle was over, the ducks were full and walked away slowly, quacking. The village chief led the villagers, looking at a small portion of the wheat field that had been eaten away, and remained silent.

Even the villagers who were disgusted with the ugly sound of ducks and didn't lay eggs stopped talking. One or two hugged the ducks, wishing to treat them as treasures and take care of the wheat fields for themselves.

The village chief sighed slightly, and glanced at the villagers, "I'll go to the city, and pass the news to the prefect as soon as possible. You guys feed the ducks well, but don't be lazy."

Sitting in the government office, Luo Xi felt a bit of a headache looking at the reported news.

The script provided by the system is especially useful for him as the background. Knowing where there are natural and man-made disasters, he can avoid them early, such as this insect disaster.

Yuyang was only swept to the tail of the typhoon, and there were not many locusts, but so far, five or six villages have encountered locusts, and the scope will be further expanded in the future.

But the problem is that locusts are in circulation everywhere...it has wings, so it can fly around and rattle around.

Luo Xi looked at the officials below and said, "Quickly send the defenders to the various counties, and notify the county magistrates to prepare for resisting the pest infestation. The magistrate must notify every village within a day, and let the villagers put the ducks in the wild. own field."

Bahun quickly took orders and ran away.

Time waits for no one, and it is dangerous to delay for a moment.

Luo Xi worked it out on her own, and planned to write a letter to the capital, asking the Luo family to use all the pigeons to send the letter to newspaper shops in various places.

Luo Xi briefly described the matter in a few words, touched the carrier pigeon, "You have to hurry over this time."

The carrier pigeon rubbed against Luo Xi's hand, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the sky.

In addition to Luo's family, Luo Xi also prepared a memorial for the emperor, dragging the guards to hurry over, making sure that the letter was delivered quickly.

In the Luo family, Luo Shangshu was about to go to sleep when a pigeon suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"Xiao Yi?" Luo Shangshu could barely recognize it from its size and the weight on its shoulders, holding the carrier pigeon, and jokingly said, "Ah Zhi wrote a letter to my family?"

"Coo coo coo." The carrier pigeon urged, but the intimacy and coquettishness in the past were gone.

Slightly frowning, Luo Shangshu went to the study with the pigeon in his arms.After reading the note, his face became serious, and he said to the servant, "Hold the lamp for me."

It is best for him to write this announcement himself.

The lights in Luoshang's study stayed on until midnight. That night, a large group of pigeons flew out from Luo's house and rushed to various places.

The shopkeeper of the Huguang store was woken up when he was ugly.

"What's wrong?" The shopkeeper looked fierce.It was still dark today, and the third watch didn't arrive, so he couldn't wake up at all.

"There's news from the capital," Xiaoer said.

The shopkeeper lifted his spirits, took off the note on the pigeon, read it roughly, and couldn't help but change his expression.

"Let's go," the shopkeeper casually put on some clothes, "follow me to the shop."

Xiao Er kept shouting, "Shopkeeper, you forgot to take the lamp."

Kakigawa, the shopkeeper read the letter and said, "All the newspapers are reprinted."

The people below were stunned, "But the thing has already been made, and it will be sold tomorrow."

Newspapers used to be published once every ten days, and tomorrow happened to be the time for the next issue.

The shopkeeper said with a sullen face, "Then add an additional page, and this content must be attached."

Lu Wei, the shopkeeper ordered some staff, and said, "Tomorrow, invite a few newsboys to sell newspapers on the street, and read all the information in this article aloud."

"This?"

Everyone was a little confused. After all, apart from the fact that the newspaper had to be expanded in the first place, there were people calling for it. Now, no one has been specially hired to do this. After all, their newspapers can be sold out, so there is no need to waste money.

"Do as I say."

Master Song took his disciples and students to wander around Yuyang, tired of walking, so he found a restaurant at random.

The student thumped his leg, feeling back pain, "Little Er, serve tea."

"Okay, here we come!" The child quickly ran over, carrying a pot of tea, first poured tea for everyone, and then asked carefully, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'm tired of eating that beggar's chicken last time."

Listening to the discussion of the students below, Everyone Song smiled, and casually said to Xiao Er, "Then let me have a plate of beef and a plate of fried duck..."

The people in the restaurant who were still chatting and laughing heard this sentence, and suddenly looked over, their eyes were a little strange.

Xiao Er's face changed in an instant, and he put the teapot heavily on the table, and said indignantly, "The duck is so useful, why do you want to eat it?"

Everyone Song: "..."

"That's right," the person next to him also had an angry look on his face, "I can't even buy a duck at home, and all the ducks in the market have been snatched up."

"Now I'm still thinking about eating duck meat."

When the shopkeeper heard the movement, he ran out quickly. First he confessed to everyone, then he looked at the clothes of Mr. Song, and then he heard the accent, and he understood, "You are all literati or scholars from other places?"

Everyone in Song was not angry, and said kindly, "Indeed, I have only been here for a short time, and I don't know if your place has any habits. We accidentally offended you?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, "It's really a special situation, that's why I neglected all the guests. Yesterday, locusts were found in five villages. Fortunately, the prefect let us raise ducks, so we managed to keep the fields. Now everyone consciously doesn't eat ducks. Let the villagers buy the ducks back."

Everyone in Song really didn't expect that something happened to Yuyang in just a day or two.

The shopkeeper was afraid that he would not believe it, so he took out today's newspaper on purpose, "Look, it's been published in the newspaper. Five villages including Xingtang Village have encountered locusts. I'm afraid that other villages will also suffer."

In the newspaper, Luo Xi used concise and powerful writing to briefly describe the horror of locust disasters, which animals eat locusts, and how to prevent them, so that everyone does not have to panic and follow orders.

Everyone Song looked at the newspaper and was filled with emotion.

The disciple who said the newspaper was useless bowed his head in shame.

The data on Luo Xi's side is being collected bit by bit. Yesterday there were five villages, and today there are seventeen. Fortunately, the order was issued in time, and basically every village was prepared, but some people boiled the ducks from the very beginning. Eat it, duck stealing cases are frequent now.

In the village, the sound of quacking was everywhere. Not only did the villagers not find it noisy, but they thought it was very pleasant.

He hurried to the court, and the emperor hurriedly gave a reply, notifying all the places to get ready.

Back and forth, a lot of manpower and material resources were tossed, but it was seven or eight days before the emperor's will reached Huguang.

A wave of locusts has already arrived. Although they have been reminded by the newspaper, they still lost nearly half of their production.

The prefect thinks about the sold-out chickens, ducks and geese in the market, and then looks at the newspapers that are faster than the imperial decree, and the rapid expansion of the scale of the newspapers. Stomach pain.

If he banned the sale of newspapers now, those ordinary people would swallow him alive.

Sure enough, when the eunuch issued the decree to the county magistrates, the county magistrates were respectful, but somewhat disapproving in their eyes.

When the county magistrate left, the eunuch couldn't help but sigh, instead of waiting for the imperial decree, it's better to read the newspaper, how much effect does the imperial decree have?

The arrival of the locusts did not affect the convening of the cultural conference in Yuyang area. On the contrary, after such a natural disaster, the people of Yuyang became more stable. At least they carried it through.

Luo Yu and the others felt that their arms and legs had lost a lot of weight, all of which were caused by running out these days, and they lost about ten catties.

The order was basically issued, and Luo Xi dealt with a lot of government affairs every day. When these trivial matters were finished, the literary meeting was officially held at the end of June.

Everyone Song has long admired Luo Xi, a son of a noble family. Whether it was the praise of various teachers when he was young, or the prevalence of Jiangnan style of writing later, until now, the newspapers have covered Luo Xi with layers of brilliance.

When they actually met each other, everyone in Song thought that Luo Xi would be a vigorous and ruthless person, but he turned out to be a gentle and modest gentleman, and they liked him even more.

Luo Yu followed Luo Xi, and followed Luo Xi to meet the masters.

When Luo Xi was invited to talk by the stars, all the students of Master Song left behind, and one of the students looked at Luo Yu, "Do you know how to interpret those sage theories?"

He didn't believe it anymore, it doesn't matter if there is only one Luo Xi from the Luo family, is Luo Xi's younger brother also qualified to enter here?Can you still communicate with these masters at will?

Luo Yu imitated Luo Xi, showing a "kind" smile, seemingly gentle but mocking, "Do you know how much a catty of wheat is outside? Do you know how to manage a county?"

It is true that he is not good at reading, and his eloquence is average, but when it comes to the knowledge of people's livelihood, he can completely beat these people.

The student blushed, "You, you are ridiculous!"

"What do you read?" Luo Yu didn't blush, "Cultivate one's morals and family, govern the country and the world!"

In other words, the student's realm is not enough, he is still in the former, but he is different, he has reached the latter realm.

Luo Xi was stunned when he heard this, don't think he didn't know, Luo Yu was playful a few days ago and almost lost the villagers' cattle, it was Sun Shiwei who was busy for a long time to help him find it.

Everyone Song got up, clapped their palms and laughed loudly, "Sure enough, a hero is born as a boy."

After communicating with the masters, the original disciples of the rich families looked at Luo Yu who didn't have to push forward at all, but would still be admired by others, and his heart froze.

No matter how nice the words are, it is better to do more, and perhaps becoming an official is the best choice.

The Wenhui lasted for more than ten days. On the first day, Luo Xi took Luo Yu and some other people to meet these current great sages one by one, and they became familiar with each other.

No one was cold-faced towards him, even if someone thought that Long Yang's kindness was too absurd, they only reminded him gently.Luo Xi smiled slightly, still persisting.

Everyone in Song suddenly smiled, "Private morality can't overwhelm public morality. Even if you are wild and unruly in private, but you are upright and rule well, no one will deliberately hold on to it, just look at that one place."
