Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 125 An Army of Ducks Can Really Cure Locusts
Qin Feng sneered: "What's wrong? Hmph! You are all wrong!"

"Who told you that there is no way to deal with disasters in this county? Who told you that this county asks the villagers to raise ducks to fill their own pockets?"

Zhang Shun and Hu Lai looked at each other and sneered: "The plague of locusts is already flying in front of us, how dare you say that you are good at curing the disaster?"

"This county, really dare to say it! If you don't believe me, just let this county watch!"

Time is running out, and Qin Feng doesn't want to waste time with these squires. Anyway, right or wrong, we can see the outcome today.

Some things cannot be slandered by words!

Qin Feng turned around and walked up to the gate building of the county town from the side stairs, condescending.

"Fellow folks!"

"Master Qin!"

"Master Qin, tell us to go out quickly. We can collect as much food as we can while the locust plague is still a few hours away..."

"Yes, Master Qin, we should have listened to the prefect long ago, and harvested the grain in advance. I just rushed back from the outside and saw with my own eyes that the locusts were densely packed, like, like heavy snow... ..."

"When they get close, we people may not be able to open our eyes in front of them!"

The people complained endlessly and asked Qin Feng to let him go.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, pressed his hands empty, and at the same time used the interrupt skill, and said two words in his mouth: "Quiet!"

All of a sudden, the people who were in a mess were all pinched by an invisible force, and they couldn't make a sound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Feng said, "Fellow folks, this county is your parents' official, so naturally we know how important food is to you."

"The county asked you to drive the ducks out of the city for no other reason than to deal with the locust plague!"

"The ducks you raise are the county's secret weapon against locust plagues! Everyone, please trust me, gather the ducks together and drive them to the southwest end of the cultivated land in our county!"

"Today, let the ducks in our hands restrain these damned locusts!"

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Feng finished what he needed to say.

Thanks to the effect of the silence skill, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and Qin Feng's words fell into everyone's ears.

When the silence effect ended, the people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Shun, Hu Lai and the other squires laughed outright.

"Hmph, what a daydream, relying on a few ducks, you also want to fight against migratory locusts?"

"I don't know what it means! Folks, don't you really believe it?"

"This dog officer is just tricking you!"

The gentry dismissed Qin Feng's claim that ducks can control locusts.

But the farmers calmed down.

They originally regarded Qin Feng as the master of Qingtian, and they had a basis of trust in him.

After Qin Feng explained it like this, everyone felt like giving it a try.

"Those ducks are used to control locusts?"

"This...duck, how to control the locusts? Is it possible to rely on them to eat all the locusts? So many migratory locusts..."

"It doesn't matter, since Mr. Qin has said everything, then we have to follow suit. It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know!"

"Go, let the ducks go!"

"Let the ducks go!"

Out of their trust in Qin Feng, the people in Ninghai County quickly unanimously agreed, took their farm tools and sickles home, and quickly released all the ducks in the house.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys in Ninghai County were filled with ducks.

There are [-] households, and each household has five or six ducks.

Naturally, with so many ducks, the whole county couldn't come out to chase them away.

People from more than a dozen households gathered the ducks together, and selected one person to be responsible for driving them out. When they arrived at the city gate, an army of ducks gathered together.

The farmers spontaneously stood on the periphery of the duck flock and were responsible for guiding them forward so that they would not go astray.

Qin Feng looked down from the city gate and saw the densely packed ducks at the gate of Ninghai County, not much different from the swarm of migratory locusts that had just taken shape in the distance.

Migratory locusts and ducks greeted them from the southwest towards Ninghai, and the other from Ninghai County.

Both sides are powerful and densely packed.

Looking at it from a height, it really has the taste of "armies at war".

Qin Feng couldn't help feeling a sense of heroism in his heart. When those famous generals of the Three Kingdoms led troops to fight, the scene they saw was similar to the scene in front of them, right?
It's just that the ducks and locusts are all replaced by people.

"Come on! Get the flag ready!"

"Yes!"

When Qin Feng gave an order, several yamen servants who had already stood on the gate of the city put all kinds of order flags in front of them.

This was arranged by Qin Feng in the dark.

The yamen servants have undergone special command flag training in the past few months.

Now some yamen servants are with Qin Feng, standing on the top of the city gate, condescending, and people in the distance can see what flags the people above are holding at a glance.

The other part of the yamen servants are scattered among the farmers who drive ducks, and are responsible for observing the changes of the flags, so as to send instructions to the farmers and adjust the direction of the farmers to drive the ducks.

Qin Feng watched from a distance, grasping the general situation, gestures, and passwords kept changing.

The duck army also made several adjustments, and finally, it came into contact with the migratory locusts.

Ducks are the natural enemies of insects such as locusts. In the eyes of farmers, locust swarms are regarded as disasters, but in the eyes of ducks, they are waves of delicious meals.

When they saw the migratory locusts, they all became "excited", fluttered their wings, half-flyed and half-hopped, speeding up!

Once you spot a locust, you can eat it with your mouth open, without commanding at all.

That scene was spectacular.

"My God, it turns out that ducks can really restrain locusts!"

"Master Qin's method is really effective!"

"Hey, hey, we stopped Master Qin, wrongly blamed Master Qin, this is really... ashamed!"

The part of the peasants who stormed the gate of the city that had caused a lot of trouble just now were extremely ashamed, and gathered together in front of Qin Feng, knelt down to plead guilty.

Qin Feng gently raised his hand: "Get up, I don't blame you for this matter. You were also bewitched by traitors."

"Come here! Bring me Zhang Shun and Hu Lai!"

After Zhang Shun and Hu Lai were slapped, Qin Feng was busy directing the locust control and had no time to talk to them.

But the yamen servants at the gate of the city were unwilling to let these two incendiary bastards go, so they were detained together with the country gentry who came with them.

Now that Qin Feng gave an order, they immediately escorted the group of people from the bottom of the city to the top of the city wall, and told them to line up and kneel in front of Qin Feng.

"Sun Dabao!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Take over the command flag, and after today, cooperate with the farmers every day to command the army of locust extermination!"

"Subordinates obey orders!"

"Zhao Yi!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Bring Daguan Zhang and others over here and tell them to take a good look."

"Yes!"
