Chapter 99

Thousands of ducks were sent, which made Dingzhou village lively for a while.

The men, aunts, old people and children who finished the farm work gathered around the duck shed to watch the excitement.

Li Qieyou asked the Niu brothers to move the two boxes of copper money directly to the duck shed and settle the copper money with the chicken and duck vendors on the spot.

Most of these chicken and duck vendors have trafficked hundreds of ducks, and at least dozens. Su Changqing helped count and pay, while the twenty female ducks being elected by the old village were busy driving the ducks into the duck shed.

Two boxes of glittering copper coins caused the busy farmers to exclaim for a while.

A whole hundred copper coins. There may not be so many copper coins in Dingzhou village, which makes everyone dizzy.

"Tut Tut, so much copper money, Li Xiaolang is good at it!"

"What is Li Xiaolang going to do with spending so much money on ducks?"

"I'm afraid the ducks from all over the country have been bought by the Li family?"

Zhao xiaoniang, who sold pigs to Li forgetful, was also chosen by the old village to help release ducks. Several aunts in the village surrounded Zhao's wife with envy in their eyes.

"Madam Zhao, your little mother was chosen to help Li Xiaolang release the ducks? What a blessing."

"Isn't it? Zhao xiaoniang sold her pigs to the Li family and got a lot of copper money. Now she can help the Li family release ducks. It must be Zhao Dalang's underground blessing for your mother and daughter."

"It's time for Zhao xiaoniang to talk about her mother-in-law. You have to check it well, madam Zhao, but you can't marry Zhao xiaoniang casually."

"If I say so, I'll just marry in the village and take care of your mother." this is the idea of getting married with the Zhao family when there is a son in the family who is not engaged.

In this regard, Zhao Niangzi just smiled happily and looked at her daughter busy driving ducks, with a face of satisfaction and pride.

More and more vendors' cattle and horses came, and the riverside became very lively.

Thousands of ducks croaked and scurried around from time to time, so that the women who put the ducks were sweating and driving away the disobedient ducks with bamboo poles.

From time to time, the girls were embarrassed because the ducks were not obedient, and the crowd in the village burst out laughing from time to time, which made the little girls blush.

After busy for most of the day, I finally gathered all these ducks into the duck shed and settled the payment for goods.

A total of 2300 adult ducks and 3500 ducklings, a total of 86 copper coins.

The goods and silver were cleared, and both sides were happy.

After seeing off the vendors, Li Qieyou began to explain the duck release to the duck release women.

A total of 40 duck sheds have been built, and each duck keeper is responsible for managing two duck sheds.

These ducks were first raised in their 300 mu rice field. After they were familiar with the duck shed, 20 female ducks drove them to the field to eat by themselves.

There are more than 2000 mu of land in the village, which is enough for these ducks to eat. Not to mention that although the locust disaster has not yet reached a scale, there are jumping locusts everywhere in the field. There is no need to worry about the food of ducks.

Li Qieyou thought very well, but after a few days, the women who released the ducks drove the ducks out and hunted on their own in the field of the village, they immediately caused trouble

The ducks of the Li family were released to the fields in the village. Before noon, the Li family was surrounded by a group of farmers led by the old village.

Outside the Li family's old house, hundreds of farmers gathered around. Many people scolded and were excited.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper Li Heng was startled and quickly invited the old village and several leading farmers into the main room.

Li forget worry is playing chess with the fat Qiu Kun in his study at this time. The fat man is also happy about Shu. He has been to the Li family for more than ten days and seems to have no intention of returning to Chang'an.

In the fat man's opinion, the Li family eats well and lives comfortably. It's no worse than Chang'an city. The only thing he's not used to is that he can't go to pingkangfang to drink flower wine.

But in front of delicious food, these are tolerable.

They were playing chess, but they heard a noise outside.

Li Heng hurriedly ran in: "Lang Jun, we were surrounded by the farmers outside our house, saying that our ducks were in trouble. I invited Cun Zheng to take a seat in the front yard lobby. Go and have a look."

Ducks cause trouble? Li forgets his worries and knows what's going on.

It seems that the duck eating locusts has been noticed by the old village Zheng and the farmers. This is to apologize.

In this regard, Li forget worry is not in a hurry, slowly followed the old housekeeper to the front yard lobby.

"What's the matter with old Murakami today?"

"Xiao Lang, I ask you, did you buy so many ducks to eat locusts? Now many locusts in the field have been eaten by your ducks. How's that?" the old village was as heavy as water and asked when they met.

If another modern person hears this, I'm afraid it will be puzzling. Isn't it a good thing that ducks eat locusts in the fields?

Wrong, in the eyes of these simple people in the Tang Dynasty, since locusts appear, that is the punishment sent by the God of locusts to the world. How can they be killed?

If not, how can those leaders in the court and those of Confucianism say that only Xiude can kill locusts.

"My duck ate the locusts in the field? Hey hey, you're welcome. You're welcome. It's the right thing to do." Li forgot to worry and replied with a smile.

His words surprised the old village and the farmers. Are we here to thank you? Don't you understand?

"Xiao Lang, don't do this! The locust is descended by the locust God. How can it prey?"

"Yes, your ducks ate locusts. Who can be responsible if the Lord gives greater punishment?"

"Xiao Lang, drive your ducks away quickly. Don't let the ducks prey on locusts."

"I think it's nonsense. I said why the Li family suddenly bought so many ducks. You're going to use locusts to help you feed the ducks! If you're so bold, Xiao Lang, you're not afraid to be blamed by heaven?"

"Xiao Lang, don't make mischief, don't make trouble for our Dingzhou village!"

The old village and the farmers scolded the ducks of the Li family and Li forgetful's misdeeds.

I'm afraid Li would not have been so polite if he hadn't been a little famous in Dingzhou village now.

The beauty boss also heard the news at this time and immediately rushed to the front yard lobby.

Hearing that the old village and the farmers not only didn't accept the feelings of the Li family, but also scolded Li forgetful, she was so angry that her face turned white and cold.

It's a dog biting LV Dongbin. He doesn't know a good heart!

Do they have enough to support the Li family? After spending all his money to buy so many ducks, Li forgot to worry and went to Chang'an to raise so much food. Isn't it all for the sake of more than 100 villagers in Dingzhou village?

Instead of blaming the locusts who destroyed the crops, they kowtowed, burned incense and worshipped. Li forgot to worry and wanted to save them, but they were so humiliated.

Sure enough, the poor man must be hateful!
