"Victory... victorious! We won!" The locusts who were defeated and fled brought tears to the eyes of everyone in Lujia Village.Especially the village head was trembling slightly with excitement.

But everyone didn't notice that County Magistrate Duan stood behind them and witnessed what happened just now.

He walked up to the village chief, opened his mouth and asked, "Cunleader Lu, what is the solution? I am very curious!"

The village chief was taken aback by the county magistrate Duan's sudden opening, and the village chief immediately led all the villagers in Lujia Village to kneel beside the county magistrate Duan.

Seeing this, the magistrate Duan hurriedly said: "Everyone, get up quickly!"

Everyone stood up quickly after hearing this, but they still looked down at the ground. For them, the county magistrate was the sun in the sky, which was beyond the reach of ordinary farmers like them.

The village chief walked up to County Magistrate Duan and said with a trace of panic in his words: "This... This is Yaojie's mother's idea!"

"Oh?" County magistrate Duan raised his eyebrows, and immediately looked at Jiang Ling who was standing in the crowd.

Jiang Ling took a look at County Magistrate Duan who came out of the crowd, and said to County Magistrate Duan, "This is a prescription from the folk woman's grandmother, which requires a certain amount of wormwood and cocklebur as well as the secret medicine my grandmother prepared before. Boil the powder in a pot, then put the finished grass balls in and soak for half an hour, then take them out and dry them in the sun, this will effectively repel the locusts!"

The county magistrate Duan was even more amazed when he heard this. He stared at Jiang Ling in front of him like a torch. For some reason, he always felt that the village woman in front of him was very unusual.Now the twenty villages and towns under his jurisdiction had no crops last year. This year, the drought was finally resolved, and locust plagues started again. Promotion is hopeless.

Thinking of this passage, the county magistrate hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jiang, I wonder how much it will cost if you give up this method?"

The others almost screamed when they heard this sentence, especially the village chief shivered. He was afraid that if Jiang Ling's nonsense offended the county magistrate Duan, he would probably be punished. He just thought He opened his mouth to remind Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling stepped forward and said: "If this method can eliminate the locusts, the women are willing to pay nothing, but..."

The village head had just let go of his hanging heart, but he raised it again after hearing the word "but", and even turned his head to stare at Jiang Ling, his eyes seemed to be filled with "My aunt, don't talk nonsense!" " reminder.

Jiang Ling didn't even look at the village head, and continued to add: "However, my grandmother's secret medicine powder is not much, and the recipe can be published, but I can't provide the secret medicine powder here, and the smoke from the burning is poisonous, so it needs to be made this thing……"

As Jiang Ling handed his mask to County Magistrate Duan, County Magistrate Duan stared at the mask in his hand and widened his eyes. Asked in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, what is this?"

"This thing is called a mask. The smoke it burns is poisonous. This mask can cut off most of the poisonous fog and protect the villagers. However, cotton is needed to make this thing. The cotton in our village is sold by Li Shanren of Changning Town at a very low price. Me, so there is really no way for civilian women to provide medicine powder and masks!" Jiang Ling's words were flat, but the village chief next to him was like a roller coaster, and even sweat like soybeans appeared on his forehead beads.

"It's okay, Mrs. Jiang, you only need to provide the names of the items in the formula and the method of making the mask, and you don't need to worry about the rest!" County magistrate Duan waved to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling nodded and then handed over the making method of the mask to County Magistrate Duan. County Magistrate Duan couldn't help but secretly surprised when he saw the crooked but careful handwriting on it, and asked quickly, "Mr. ? Is this from your handwriting?"

Jiang Ling shook her head and said to County Magistrate Duan: "Your Excellency, this is the handwriting of my eldest daughter Jiang Suihe. Just don't dislike it."

County Magistrate Duan was even more surprised when he heard that. He looked at Jiang Ling with a somewhat groggy gaze. He had already admired Jiang Yaojie before, but he was even more surprised to hear that her daughter could read and write. Although the twenty villages and towns under Pingxi County Occasionally, there are girls who study, and Pingxi County also has an academy dedicated to girls, but the girls there are either the ladies of high-ranking officials or noble families, or the daughters of merchants. I have never heard of a farmer's family for a hundred years. Daughter can read and write.

"My... my lord..." Seeing the county magistrate Duan's expression of losing his composure, the master at the side quickly reminded the county magistrate Duan softly.

County magistrate Duan quickly coughed twice to demonstrate his previous embarrassment.

Jiang Ling smiled and said in a calm tone: "How about a big lady giving you a demonstration?"

County Magistrate Duan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Jiang Ling took County Magistrate Duan and disappeared into everyone's sight. The village chief let out a deep breath when he saw County Magistrate Duan who had disappeared, and then showed a panicked expression, and ran towards Jiang Ling's house. Everyone Although I was curious, I had consumed a lot of physical strength to hunt and kill locusts just now, so there were not many good things to follow to join in the fun.

Jiang Ling brought the county magistrate back to his home, and the three children knelt on the ground obediently. Seeing this, the county magistrate Duan quickly asked Jiang Ling to help the children up. Asked: "Are you Jiang Suihe?"

After all, Jiang Suhe was a child under ten years old. Jiang Suhe felt his brain went blank when Duan County Magistrate questioned him. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground again, shaking and nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling quickly helped Jiang Suihe up and said softly, "Don't be afraid, County Magistrate Duan is a good man! Just answer truthfully!"

Jiang Suhe nodded after hearing this, but for some reason, his heart was still beating wildly. Jiang Suhe even felt that his heart might jump out of his mouth as long as he opened his mouth.

"Ms. Jiang, am I that scary?" County Magistrate Duan asked helplessly seeing no one around frowning.

Jiang Ling smiled dumbly, she looked at the slightly plump county magistrate Duan in front of her with a kind expression and shook her head and said, "No, it's just that you are an official and we are ordinary people. There is always a distance between officials and ordinary people, let alone us We are still farmers facing the loess and back to the sky, and the majesty of the officials makes us daunting."

County magistrate Duan felt a little disappointed when he heard these words. He wanted to be a good official since he was a child, and wanted to be a parent official who got along well with the people, but now it seems that these people are very afraid of him by what he does.

Duan County Magistrate's disappointment Jiang Ling saw in her eyes, she originally wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but then she thought about it, she was already good enough before, and if she continued like this, she would definitely be envied by others, thinking of this, Jiang Ling quickly signaled to Jiang Suihe Go inside the house to get cotton and coarse cloth.
