Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 134: Locust Plague

Yun Chu returned to the town with his grandfather. After returning to the town, Yun Chu searched for medicine or props that could kill locusts in two task malls.

Found a lot of props.

In the first mission system, a monitor was found that could detect the appearance of locusts.

In the second task system, there are many drugs for killing locusts.

Each monitor cost 100 points. Yun Chu bought six and placed them in the centers of six nearby cities.

This way we can monitor from all angles where the locusts are coming from.

Eight days later, an alarm sounded on the surveillance camera, coming from the southwest of Anyi City.

To the southwest, you will pass through Tianhe County, Luosong County, Tianwanshi County, and Dongtian County, with more than thirty villages along the way.

Yun Chu immediately went to the county government office and told her father about the locusts.

Then use the positioning teleportation symbol to teleport directly to Daye Village in Tianhe County.

In a short period of time, half of the fields in Daye Village were destroyed.

Some people were trying to drive them away, but more people were hiding because locusts could also bite people.

Yun Chu put on a breath-suppressing talisman and hid in the woods. He took out the formation plate and controlled the locusts in this area so that they could not move forward.

Afterwards, various locust-killing drugs were thrown out. The drugs exploded in the air and then released red smoke. When the locusts came into contact with the red smoke, they began to fall to the ground.

In fact, Yun Chu could use the fire talismans stored in the sub-cultivation world, but once the fire talismans were burned, nothing would be left.

When attacked with drugs, these locusts can leave behind corpses, which are excellent fertilizers and also top-notch food for chickens, ducks and geese.

When purchasing these drugs, she also specifically asked the system, which said that these drugs only target locusts and will not harm the land, crops, or animals.

Yun Chu was killing locusts with a crackling sound. On the other side, Li Zhonglun and the yamen runners rode at full speed to Daye Village.

When they arrived, Yun Chu had already killed half of the locusts.

With the participation of Li Zhonglun and others, all the locusts were killed after an hour and a half.

After the locusts were killed, Yun Chu appeared and told her father that she was going to collect the locusts.

Li Zhonglun immediately found the village chief and asked the villagers to pick up locusts.

Two cents a pound of locusts.

Hearing this, the village chief immediately gathered the villagers and informed them of the matter.

The villagers were originally sad because their fields were eaten by locusts, but now the locusts can be sold for money, so the whole family, young and old, went out to pick locusts.

Yun Chu did not leave either, but waited in the village to collect locusts.

In less than three hours, the villagers of Daye Village picked up all the corpses of so many locusts.

Yun Chu told the people whose farmlands were damaged not to worry, and that she could provide them with sweet potato seedlings, which would be enough to feed them.

The villagers knew that Yun Chu was the daughter of the county magistrate, so they believed that the county magistrate's daughter would never lie to them.

The next day, the farmhand from Shuicun Village drove three ox carts and dragged sweet potato vines to Daye Village.

The farmhand taught the villagers how to do it in the village chief's land. The villagers knew how to do it after watching it once. After learning it, the villagers estimated how much sweet potato vines their own land needed, and took the sweet potato vines home to plant them.

"Sister Yunchu, can I go to the farm with you?" Qin Jin asked.

"of course."

Yun Chu rode on horseback and took Qin Jin back to the farm.

Qin Jin wanted to visit the farm, so Yun Chu took him there.

Qin Jin didn't recognize many of the crops, so he asked curiously.

Yun Chu told Qin Jin the details.

After touring the farm, Qin Jin went to play with the children.

Some long-term workers brought their wives and children to the farm for the convenience of working. The house they lived in was rented from Yun Chu.

The rent was not expensive, only ten cents a month. Compared to what they earned, they could still afford it.

Yun Chu told them not to go to the waterside to play, and then Yun Chu went up the mountain.

The fruits on the mountain have entered the fruit-bearing period. In order to make the fruits grow better and densely packed, the small fruits must be removed.

After Yun Chu went up the mountain, the farmhands were removing small fruits. He took a look and found that they were doing a good job.

"Miss Yunchu is here." Mrs. Luo greeted.

"Ah."

"How much is left?"

"It may take another two days."

"Okay." After asking, Yun Chu went to the warehouse on the mountain. The warehouse was filled with various tools and fertilizers.

These trees should be fertilized once after the small fruits are removed.

I looked at the fertilizer and it’s enough. Next time, I’ll have to buy some more from the store.

After visiting the orchard, Yun Chu went to the mountains to collect herbs.

She now studies medical skills with Doctor Lu for an hour every day.

Because she saved Dr. Lu's family, Dr. Lu did not keep the knowledge to himself and taught her very seriously.

She has been studying with Dr. Lu for half a year.

Her advantage is that she has a good memory, so she learns quite well.

After collecting some medicinal herbs, she went to hunt a wild boar and carried it down the mountain.

The wild boar they shot was killed by the male farmhand, and then they had a wild boar meat dinner together.

At first, when Yun Chu distributed the meat, the farmhand was very surprised.

After a long time, the farmhands got used to it.

Because Yun Chu paid high wages, they could eat meat every few days.

Therefore, these farmhands worked very seriously and carefully, for fear of making mistakes and being fired.

After dinner, Qin Jin asked, "Sister Yunchu, can this farm make money?"

"Of course I can. Last year, I earned more than 200 taels from the fruit. This year, the fruit yield is higher, so I can earn even more."

“Can fruit be sold for so much money?”

"The canned fruits you ate last year were more profitable. You wouldn't make much just by selling fruits." Glass products have already appeared in this world.

That’s why they sell canned food, so it won’t attract attention.

"Also, we can't make much by simply selling the grain we grow, but we can make a lot by making it into unique food..." Yun Chu told Qin Jin how to make money.

"I can earn so much thanks to your people." When Wang Yifu came to see Qin Jin, he left a lot of people behind. These people opened shops in Anyi City, Tianhe County, and Shuiquan Town.

A money shop and a restaurant were opened in Anyi City, a pharmacy was opened in Tianhe County, and a cloth shop was opened in Shuiquan Town.

Canned fruits were able to quickly open up the market thanks to the restaurant owner Zhang Benjiang.

After chatting, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After staying at the farm for three days, Yun Chu sent Qin Jin back to town.

Qin Jin is still studying with his grandfather.

After sending the people back, Yun Chu returned to the village.

Three months passed like this, and the fruits in Yun Chu's orchard were ripe.

Yun Chu was busy picking fruits with the farmhands.

Some of the fruits are sold fresh, and most of them are made into canned fruits.

After the canned fruit is made, it is kept for half a month before it is put on the market.

After selling the canned fruit, he made 853 taels of money. After deducting transportation and labor costs, he made more than 600 taels of money.

Having made money, Yun Chu also gave bonuses to the farmhands.

They were given three days off so that they could go home and reunite with their families.

The farmhands went home with the money and the meat.

When they returned, they were surrounded by many villagers, asking whether Yun Chu's farm was still hiring.

The long-term workers tactfully said that they would not recruit for the time being, but that might not be the case in the future.

The farmhands returned home and handed over part of the money they earned.

I kept some of it for myself and saved money to buy the house I rented later.

Ninety percent of the long-term workers wanted to save money, buy the rented house, and work under Yun Chu for a long time.

If I go to work somewhere else, I will be scolded, tired, and paid less.

Working under Yun Chu, you won’t be scolded and you will get more money.

When they are tired, they will be allowed to rest.

I can't find a better job than now.
