"Gugu~gugugu~!"
"Goooooooo~!"
The sun rises in the east, and its endless light shines on the earth, but this huge and strange team is walking on the cement road in Lantian County.
The reason why it is said to be huge and strange is that this team is composed of about a hundred people and more than 300,000 chickens. About every two people control a flock of 5,000 chickens, and one person is riding a bicycle. , another person used a cylindrical thing near his mouth to make a "coo-coo-coo" sound toward the chickens. He saw the chickens running forward on the cement road with two chicken feet. The team stretched for several seconds. Here, when pedestrians saw it, they all stepped aside and gave way!
"Where...where did so many chickens come from?"
"It's Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou is leading the Tianji Brigade, and he should be asking other counties to eliminate locusts~!"
"Oh my God! These dolls are riding second-generation bicycles from Qiqige Workshop!"
"There are hundreds of bicycles in total, right?"
"Not that many, but there are still fifty or sixty cars~!"
"Tsk tsk! Based on the price of 599 guan each, these bicycles alone are worth 10,000 guan~!"
"These dolls are so lucky!"
"But they are also working very hard! If it weren't for them, how could Lantian County have wiped out all the locusts in the territory in less than two days?"
"That's right! These dolls are amazing! Marquis Yong'an is even more amazing! They are living Bodhisattvas who save the world and overcome disasters!"
Pedestrians were first surprised by the huge size of this team, and then they couldn't help but praise the more than one hundred children in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun. After all, if it were left in the past, the common people would have encountered a locust plague of this scale. The only option is to wait for death. Now the locusts in a county in Lantian County have been wiped out in two days. Of course, the Tianji Brigade is indispensable, but it also proves to the world that the locust plague is not invincible! Lantian County is a living example!
"Shan Chief, do we have a good plan for our locust extermination route this time?"
At the front of the team, Li Ke asked Li Zexuan, who was riding Dabai next to him, while riding a variable-speed bicycle.
It was Li Ke who actively requested to join this locust extermination operation. He had been transferred to the headquarters of Yanhuang Bank in Chang'an City before, and was regarded as the bank's veritable second in command. As for the first leader, it was Li Zexuan, but this first leader He doesn't usually take care of things. As long as there is nothing wrong with the development direction of the bank, Li Zexuan usually won't interfere!
Now Yanhuang Bank has been placed by Li Ke with many students from Yanhuang Academy. With these students who are proficient in new arithmetic and double-entry accounting methods, Yanhuang Bank can maintain efficient operation and is less prone to errors. Li Ke plans to take advantage of this opportunity Taking this opportunity to go to other counties to exterminate locusts, he wanted to inspect the operation of the Yanhuang Bank branches in local prefectures and counties. It was for this reason that Li Zexuan decided to take him with him.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Li Tai. Li Tai originally wanted to come, but Li Zexuan did not allow it. Once Li Tai stayed in Yunshan, once anything happened to Yanhuang Academy, Li Tai could immediately Send a telegram to notify Li Zexuan; secondly, Li Tai does not know martial arts. Even after undergoing military training, his physical fitness is still relatively poor. This kind of long-distance action is not suitable for him!
So the little fat guy can only complain in Yunshan now!
"The rough route has been planned! According to the latest information on the disaster area received by the imperial court, we will go from south to north, first to Xinfeng, then to Weinan, Yueyang, Jingyang, Yunyang, Sanyuan, Fuping, Xianyang, and after Xianyang , we divided our troops into two groups, one to clean up the affected states and counties in the west, and the other directly along the Yellow River, sweeping all the way east. We would clean up as many states and counties as we could, and the few in the west. After completing the cleanup in each prefecture and county, we immediately went to the east to meet up with another team without stopping!"
The others were feeling the fresh energy brought by the bicycle, but Li Zexuan was riding leisurely on Dabai's horse, observing the farmland along the way, and talking to Li Ke about the route planning of the trip.
Obviously, Li Zexuan made sufficient preparations before setting off.
After hearing this, Li Ke roughly sketched a "march route" for this trip in his mind. At the end, he couldn't help but nod and said: "The commander of the mountain has such a plan, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and we can get there in the shortest time." , help more states and counties eliminate locusts!”
Li Zexuan didn't see any relief on his face. He sighed and said in a deep voice: "We can only do our best to help more states and counties, but according to the intelligence received by the court, the affected areas this time have a total of There are 108 counties and cities. Even if we work hard and work day and night, it is impossible to eliminate the locusts in all the counties and counties in a short period of time!
This locust plague is fierce. Every day, even every hour, tens of thousands of kilograms of food enter the belly of the locusts, leaving us not much time! It is estimated that in prefectures and counties that can eliminate locusts within half a month, their grain output will be less affected by the locust plague this year and there will be no large-scale famine. However, if there is no large-scale famine within half a month or even a month, Prefectures and counties that have exterminated locusts basically don’t need to exterminate locusts. They can just wait for the government or the court to release grain for disaster relief!
Therefore, within half a month is the best time to kill locusts. It is best for us to kill more locusts within this half month! From now on, we can only cooperate with the court in disaster relief! "
After hearing this, Li Ke's face couldn't help but become heavy. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "The mountain chief is right, disaster relief is like fighting fire. It takes a long time, so disaster relief is not as good as disaster relief!"
Li Zexuan said "hmm" and then said:
"According to the previous speed at which the Tianji Brigade exterminates locusts in other states and counties, it takes about a day and a half to eliminate locusts in a county! Now the size of the Tianji Brigade has more than doubled, and we also have loudspeakers. The command efficiency will definitely be greatly improved, so I hope that we can clean two counties in one day, which is 30 counties in half a month, and can help more than 30% of the disaster-stricken states and counties, then our work will not be in vain!"
Li Ke thought for a while and said: "Lantian County is an above-average county with a population of 80,000 and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. The previous Tianji Brigade consisting of 150,000 chickens was able to clear the chickens in only one and a half days. After exterminating all the locusts, the Tianji Brigade now wants to clear out the locusts in two counties in one day. Although it is a bit stressful, it may not be impossible! It depends on the command efficiency of these children!
In addition, every time you visit a prefecture or county, Ke can arrange meals and a place to stay for the mountain chief and the children. This will give you more time to clear out the locusts! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "My teacher originally planned to leave this matter to you, but now that you have taken the initiative, I won't be polite! Xiao Ke, every time you visit a prefecture or county in the future, you first go to Yanhuang Bank to inspect, and then Go contact the local government and ask the local officials to arrange food and accommodation for us. We will pay for this ourselves, or we can withdraw it directly from Yanhuang Bank, and we will calculate the general account after the locusts are exterminated!"
Li Ke cupped his hands and responded: "Yes! Chief of the mountain!"
Li Zexuan turned his head, looked at the huge team behind him, and then said to Pang Feiji: "Let the children go faster, let's try to get to Xinfeng County before noon!"
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
Pang Feiji clasped his fists and took the order and left.
Li Zexuan was at the front of the team, while Hu Hanyun was at the back to prevent any children from falling behind.
At this time, Cheng Chu smiled silently and said: "Captain Shan, we ran too fast and exhausted the chicken. What should we do?"
This guy has a temper that can't wait any longer. This is a rare opportunity to go to another county with Li Zexuan. How could he not seize the opportunity? Although he now has a sweetheart (Ge Qingyue), Ge Qingyue has always ignored him, and his father Cheng Yaojin also hopes that he can go to disaster relief with Li Zexuan this time, and even regards himself as Ruo Zhenbao lent him his speed bicycle, so Cheng Chumo came!
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes when he heard this and said angrily: "You are so lenient! How about you let the chicken ride in the car while you run underneath?"
The speed of a bicycle cannot be compared to the speed of a war horse, which is usually about fifteen kilometers per hour. Even if it runs faster, a chicken can catch up. Cheng Chumo is just eating carrots and not worrying!
"No no no!"
Cheng Chumo quickly shook his head and said: "I think it's better for them to be tired. They will only get hungry when they are tired. They can only eat locusts later when they are hungry. Don't you think so, Chief?"
Li Zexuan smiled and did not answer, but he secretly thought that Cheng Chumo's words were wrong. It is true that chickens like to eat locusts, but they cannot bear to eat hundreds of them every day. If these chickens are not allowed to exercise more, , how do you have free stomach to continue eating locusts?
In addition, after these chickens have experienced a lot of exercise and then eat locusts, the meat of these chickens will be extremely delicious in the future. This is top-quality food!
Ahem! These chickens are responsible for exterminating locusts, and now I even think about eating them. What a sin, what a sin!
Li Zexuan thought with shame in his heart.
....................................................
"Mom! Look! Ermao and I caught a big bag of locusts!"
"Okay, okay! Da Mao and Er Mao are great! Go catch them again! Go catch them again! Take them to the county government and sell them to you two brothers to buy candies!"
"Okay~! Mom! Let's go now!"
In a field in Xinfeng County, two children, carrying a cloth ribbon, ran to the field to ask for credit from a middle-aged couple. After the two children left, the middle-aged woman said with a sad face: "Head of the family, we By catching locusts like this, when will we be able to catch all the locusts in more than 30 acres of fields!"
The middle-aged man next to the woman wiped the sweat from his forehead first, then sighed heavily and replied: "Baby, at the rate we are going, it will probably take a month to arrest him. I would have known this was wrong." There was a locust plague this year, so I should have raised more chickens last year! You see, Mr. Zheng’s family raised more than 500 chickens last year, and yesterday they cleared more than 30 acres of locusts in one day!"
The woman's face felt regretful for a while, but she still comforted her: "Master, it's not your fault! Even if we knew there was a locust plague this year last year, we couldn't raise so many chickens! Mr. Zheng's family is a big family, so we can raise so many chickens." With so many chickens, how can we compare?"
The middle-aged man also knew that the woman was right, and his face couldn't help but become more depressed. Suddenly, he remembered something and couldn't help but said with excitement:
"In the morning, I heard someone say that all the locusts in Lantian County have been wiped out, and that Marquis Yong'an will lead the Tianji Brigade to other prefectures and counties to eliminate locusts. I don't know when they will arrive in our Xinfeng County. With the Tianji brigade here, we can probably wipe out the locusts in the entire farmland of Xinfeng County in one day!"
"What? Can it be destroyed in one day? Is the Marquis's Tianji Brigade so powerful?"
The middle-aged woman looked surprised when she heard this.
The big man glared and said, "Of course! Lord Marquis' Tianji Brigade is said to have 150,000 chickens! Alas! Stop talking! Stop talking! Hurry up and catch the locusts!"
At the same time, in a forest in the south of Xinfeng County.
"Uncle Hu, let the children find a cool place to rest for a quarter of an hour and drink some water, and then we will start killing the locusts!"
After more than an hour of long-distance running, the Tianji brigade of more than a hundred people and more than 300,000 chickens finally arrived in Xinfeng County. Li Zexuan jumped off Dabai's back and said to Hu Hanyun.
"Yes! Master!"
Lao Hu responded, then turned around and shouted to the children in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun: "Everyone rest where you are, drink some water and eat some dry food. We will start killing the locusts in a quarter of an hour!"
The naughty children have been riding bicycles for more than an hour. It would be a lie to say they are not tired. Even if they like riding bicycles, they will get tired if they ride too much. After listening to Hu Hanyun's words, they cheered immediately.
"I got it, Rimasa~!"
The children all agreed. Li Zexuan looked at Li Ke at this time and said: "Xiao Ke, I will ask Pang Feiji and Chou Niu to accompany you to Xinfeng County. They will first inspect the Yanhuang Bank in the city, and then go to the county government to find Xinfeng County." The county magistrate asked him to help with the children’s lunch, remember to prepare throat poplar and mung bean soup!”
Li Ke cupped his hands and said, "Chief, just go alone! Let Chou Niu and Guard Pang help you here!"
Li Zexuan said seriously: "No! They must accompany you! I have nothing to do with their help here!"
In any case, Li Ke is the current king of Shu and the biological son of Li Er. Now that they are not in Chang'an, Li Zexuan naturally has to consider Li Ke's safety!
Seeing this, Li Ke roughly understood Li Zexuan's intention, so he held his hands and said, "Okay! Then Ke will go to the county seat now!"
Pang Feiji and Cheng Chumo hugged Li Zexuan, then followed Li Ke.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
"Gugu~! Gugugu~!"
The people who were catching locusts in the fields under the scorching sun suddenly heard the inevitable "coo-coo-coo" sounds from children on the road. They couldn't help but look up and were dumbfounded by this sight. !
On the avenue not far away, they saw endless chickens running towards them driven by a group of children. The chickens were divided into sections by the children. It was almost two children controlling a group of chickens. Each group of chickens There are thousands of them.
"The Tianji Brigade! The Tianji Brigade is here!"
Someone reacted at this time and shouted excitedly.
"Oh my God! My crops can be saved, old man!"
A shirtless old man couldn't help but kneel down on his knees when he saw this scene, crying with joy.
"It's saved! Master Hou's Tianji Brigade is here! Our crops are saved~!"
