Chapter Insect Plague Strikes(2/2)
Ye Zhen was still worried yesterday, fearing that the locusts would continue to invade other fields.
Today, this worrying bad news came out.
"This insect plague is a locust plague?!"
She quickly straightened her expression and asked.
Fu Heng originally just thought about the cooperative friendship between the two parties and wanted to remind the other party, but he didn't expect Ye Zhen to be so interested in this matter.
Nodding, he told all the information he had obtained.
"It is indeed a locust plague! It was only in a small village at first, but after the fields in this village were gnawed away, some people saw with their own eyes that the locusts split into two and went to other nearby villages."
This pest disaster occurred at the junction of Manyi County and Qingcheng, which affected the areas of both counties.
It's good now, no one can run away!
"Humph! It's not like these corrupt officials! They only know how to shirk responsibility and don't even think about solving the problem first!"
Ye Zhen couldn't help but snort angrily, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and she even scolded the officials for their inaction.
After hearing this, even Xie Yunshu, who had always been calm and calm, changed his face and became extremely gloomy.
Insect plagues are a completely devastating blow to fields and farmers, because the crops that have been eaten cannot come back.
Their year's hard work was wasted!
Hearing Ye Zhen's disdainful words towards officials, Fu Heng was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"This is an insect plague! Even if an upright official is in charge, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with it!"
He was not excusing the magistrates of the two counties, but in their minds, the insect plague was irresistible.
Insect disasters are as famous as droughts and floods. They are irresistible and can only be tolerated.
But this is just helpless for ancient people. Modern people like Ye Zhen, although they cannot resist completely, can at least come up with ideas.
"The insect plague is indeed terrible, but as long as we use the right methods, it can still be solved! If the county magistrates still sit back and ignore it, it will only lead to greater losses!"
By then I'm afraid it won't just be a problem of rising food prices, it will probably become a situation where even those with money can't buy food!
When locusts cross the border, if appropriate measures are not taken, even all the fields in the two counties will lose their harvest!
