Chapter 1108 Everyone is here to catch the flying shrimp(2/2)
In order to catch locusts to the maximum extent, Chang Hongjian chose to pinch the locusts to death directly, then throw them into the basket, and let the wife at home take them back and dry them, so that they can be sold tonight.
He was also worried that there would be more dreams at night, and if he didn't buy it, he would have been in vain.
"Baby's father, 120 cents, we earn 120 cents today."
When the sky gradually darkened, Chang Hongjian's home was filled with laughter.
Originally, because most of the crops in the family were ruined by locusts, the remaining half might not be preserved, Chang Hongjian's family was full of panic.
Is God going to punish himself?
Without the harvest, how can my family survive?
Now, the Chu Palace actually arranged for people to buy locusts. This is a matter of pie falling from the sky.
There are not many things in Changjia Village now, there are many locusts.
When the locust team just landed, they really ran over and caught a handful of locusts, and caught a penny.
"Tomorrow we will get up early and go directly to the fields where the locusts have not started to eat. I guess those locusts will definitely go to those places tomorrow."
Chang Hongjian began to think about how to catch locusts to the maximum extent so that his own losses could be minimized, and even took advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit.
He calculated that this kind of life would not last long. As long as there were ten or eight days, he would be confident that he could earn a few stakes of money, or even ten stakes of money.
For the villagers of Changjia Village, this money is already an astronomical figure.
"No problem. Tomorrow I will give the work of burning fire to Saburo to take the locusts, and I will be responsible for carrying the locusts home. You will take Aye Niang and Dalang and Erlang to the ground to catch locusts and see if you can directly catch a money for Yi Guan to come back."
The family, who were still terrified in the morning, is now full of motivation.
The same scene naturally happens among other families in Changjia Village, and even in the surrounding villages.
At this time, the villagers who were still a little hesitant put down all their work and devoted themselves to the army of catching locusts.
At the same time, in Lantian County, the second artificial rainfall experiment at the Meteorological Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy was successfully completed.
Lantian County, which ushered in a heavy rain, has completely laid the foundation for the authority of the Meteorological Research Institute in artificial rainfall.
"Yuanfang, there is no large-scale locust plague in Lantian County yet. Do you think we should also encourage everyone to go to the fields to catch locusts? Directly eliminate the locust plague before it happens?"
In Lantian County, Di Renjie looked at the latest "Da Tang Daily" and had a general understanding of what happened in various places in the past two days.
"Mr. Di County Magistrate, this locust plague this year seems to be unable to get up! I think Lantian County can only develop according to the previous plan, and there is no need to disrupt the arrangements. As for the acquisition of locusts, since His Highness the King of Chu has arranged for everyone to go to other counties, we don't have to worry.
As long as there is profit, even if our Lantian County Government does not come forward, some people will catch locusts and sell them."
In Li Yuanfang's view, this locust plague has actually just happened and is about to end.
