After four or five days of busyness, the wheat in the fiefdom of Wu Ziheng on the side of the villa and the fields of the Jin State Mansion were harvested.After calculating the harvest, it was better than last year's summer harvest, and the Duke of Jin was very satisfied, and when he mentioned this matter to the Duchess of Jin in private, they all agreed that Wu Ziheng had to spoil Mo Shu, the daughter-in-law.If you don't run away with someone else, you won't have a place to cry.As soon as the Duchess of Jin asked about the current situation of Wu Ziheng and Mo Shu, the people below replied that now the two are completely busy with their own things, Wu Ziheng often runs out, and Mo Shu always remembers the things of the farm, although Wu Ziheng did not forget to bring things to Mo Shu when he came back from outside, but both of them were in a hurry, and they went to their own things.How can this be done, the Duchess of Jin Guo hurriedly wrote a letter to her third son.The gist of the letter was: A cousin like Mo Shu is definitely a baby bump, son, you have to treat others well, you must give full play to the good style of the Wu family, and care for your cousin.Not only must you respond to Moshu's needs, but you should always put your cousin first, think about what your cousin thinks, even if your cousin can't think of it, you should take the initiative to think of it for your cousin, so that Moshu can feel her cousin's care.The Duchess of Jin Guo thought that Wu Ziheng would best be able to spoil Mo Shu to be lawless, so that other men would be discouraged.There's no need to worry about Mo Shu marrying someone else.Wu Ziheng received the letter and saw that the Duchess of Jin Guo claimed to be a good idea once and for all, and he thought it was true.But Wu Ziheng did not become inseparable from Mo Shu because of this, he saw what Mo Shu should be planning.Wu Ziheng believes that Mo Shu has actually begun to get used to him secretly clearing all obstacles for her.If Mo Shu makes any big moves, he will definitely go to Hanxueju to discuss with him in advance.But this time Wu Ziheng guessed wrong, this prediction is too shocking, and the stakes are very high, Mo Shu has already made up her mind, no matter what, it is only a coincidence, and she will never admit that she knew in advance.Otherwise, it is easy to be imprisoned or lose your life.Moreover, if we want to prevent this locust plague, we can only find a way to dig up locust eggs in winter and spring, but the experience of the past generations has already told the world that this matter of digging locust eggs to get rid of locusts has little effect.Otherwise, there would not be a locust plague every three or two years.In Daliang, in fact, every year there are people digging insect eggs in various places, but every year they dig up, there will still be locust plagues every few years.Even the officials in charge of agriculture have to sigh that every year they dig up insect eggs, and locusts still breed every year.In the northern region, locust temples are found in almost every state and county.Even if the locust plague has passed, there is no grass and thousands of miles of red soil, but after hundreds of years, everyone still has no way to take the locusts.It was precisely because there was no way that the people worshipped it as a god.Despite this, whether it is Yuhu County or the surrounding acres of the Jin State Mansion, as well as Lingbei in Zhongzhou and even other places, there are still insect eggs dug every year.It's just that the locust plague is still very rapid and rampant, and the prevention of digging insect eggs has little effect after all.In the fifteenth year of Jing'an, in May, summer locusts, flying locusts came from the northeast, covering the sky like clouds and sun, people and horses could not walk, the grass and trees of the northeast Ludi were exhausted, the ground was thick, and the trenches were all in the memory, Moshu only knew that the surrounding areas of Chang'an, Zhongzhou, and Ludi, a large area in the north, had not encountered a locust plague in the seventeenth year of Jing'an.Just as recorded in the history books: it was a year of great drought, with flying locusts coming, covering the sky and the sun, thousands of miles of red soil, starvation all over the wilderness, cannibalism, and most of the people were exiled.But Mo Shu didn't expect that this locust plague would start from Ludi in the northeast.Mo Shu listened to the steward's report and was in a trance.Although he had already known it from the dream of his previous life, but his own experience was a completely different feeling, especially when he thought of the miserable Yi Zi and eaten, even if it hadn't happened now, Mo Shu also blamed himself in an instant, how could he be so incompetent, knowing that there would be a locust plague in the morning, but he still couldn't stop it.Fortunately, after so many things, Mo Shu's heart has also been tempered.After all, this locust plague can't even be completely prevented by digging up insect eggs, and she didn't expect this locust plague to be advanced, and even so, she has already prepared and tried her best.Mo Shu looked at the steward below, and asked with a heavy heart: "How is the situation of the locust plague now?"
The steward was already impressed by Mo Shu, and when he heard the words, he did not slack off at all, and bowed down and replied: "If you go back to the county lord, the locust plague in Ludi and nearby places is the most serious now, according to the news from there, Ludi has nothing but flying locusts. ”Even though Mo Shu had already known the news, but when she heard it again, she still felt heavy, and seeing that the steward's face was solemn and seemed to want to continue to describe the details of the disaster in Ludi, Mo Shu turned to ask about the situation elsewhere.The steward thought of the situation next to the villa and all the places where the farms were built, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In addition to Ludi, locust plagues have occurred near Chang'an, Zhongzhou, Northwest and other places, but except for the northwest, other places have not been as seriously affected as Ludi. ”Among them, the summer harvest of the Jin State Mansion this year was not affected by the locust plague at all, because before the locust plague, whether it was the fiefdom of Wu Ziheng Villa or the Wu family's fields, they were harvested long before the locust plague.Because of this, this year, the steward who followed Mo Shu to manage agricultural affairs was rewarded by the Duke of Jin and Wu Ziheng.Both of them knew that the farming was arranged by Mo Shu, but in order to be less conspicuous, they deliberately let the steward stand in front to protect Mo Shu.Moreover, this steward faithfully carried out Mo Shu's orders and deserved to be rewarded.And last time, Mo Shu said that she didn't need to tell Wu Ziheng, but she still went to Wu Ziheng's housekeeper Wu Gao in private, deducted the monthly money, and was punished to work elsewhere.Although Wu Gao was punished, after hearing the news of the locust plague, he was already convinced by Mo Shu.Langya Wang is really going to regret it this time.Judging from the information collected in various places so far, in addition to Ludi, all parts of the north have also been affected by locust plagues to varying degrees.Moreover, before the outbreak of the locust plague, the number of locusts in various fields was not much different, but now when the locusts are raging, it can be clearly seen that where there are farms built by Moshu, the damage is the lightest in that area.The reasons for this are self-evident.During last year's autumn ploughing and this year's spring ploughing, the farms put the chickens, ducks and geese into the ground to eat insects and eggs.Although it seems that the effect of digging locust eggs is not great, but when the Wu family harvested wheat this year, Moshu asked the farm to release these poultry to eat insects.That's what matters most
