Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Chapter 213 Didn’t Send the Tiger Cub Away

There was no need for her to worry so much about the wild animals in the mountains.

Once hundreds or thousands of villagers go up the mountain to build the reservoir, there is no need to worry about wild animals.

First of all, wild animals generally live in deep mountains and will not run to the outskirts unless there are special circumstances.

Secondly, the villagers were working in groups on the mountain. Let alone one or two wild beasts, even if there was a group, they would only become the victims of the villagers' knives and there would be no possibility of escape.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue no longer worried about the problem of the wild beasts in the mountains.

When the time comes to dig the reservoir, we just need to let the village heads tell everyone what to do. I believe that the villagers will not disobey for their own safety.

After working for most of the night, Li Mengyue still didn't send the tiger cub back and instead lost some spiritual spring water. She temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending the tiger cub away.

She decided to keep it for the time being and wait for a chance to let the cub return to the forest in the future.

After a night's rest, at daybreak, the diligent villagers left their beds, walked out of their homes, and started working hard for their livelihoods.

Li Mengyue was the only one in the Li family who was still asleep. The three brothers Mingyu, Minghao and Mingxuan got on a ox cart and asked Li Yan to take them to the college.

Grandma Li and five other working women also came to the Li family early and began to process the locusts. They fried the locusts that Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu were going to sell that day and let the two brothers take them away.

During this period, the brothers Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu did not work with Li Mengyue, so naturally they did not go up the mountain to look for her.

However, the two brothers can still sell dozens of kilograms every day, but the quantity has decreased a lot compared to the beginning.

In fact, this is normal. Fried locusts are not rare things. They are flying everywhere in the fields.

If you want to eat it, just catch it in the fields, wash it when you get home, dry it, and fry it in a pan. It is very simple and convenient.

Any farm woman who knows how to cook can make it easily.

Now, the villagers in Qingshan Town have learned that locusts are edible, and in order to give their children some snacks, they will fry some.

However, some families are really poor and have too little oil in their oil cans. They are reluctant to use the oil to fry locusts, so they will find ways to make it for their children.

For example, locusts can be used to make soup. They are boiled and dried. Although they are not as crispy as fried locusts, they taste good and many children like to eat them.

Every day when I went to the fields to catch locusts, I would put some dried locusts in my pockets. When I was hungry or tired, I would eat a few and then I could go back to catching locusts with all my energy.

The fried locusts brought to the town by Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu became an indispensable dish for many wealthy families because of their good taste and variety of flavors.

Especially men who love to drink, whether they drink at home alone or with friends, they will always make a plate of fried locusts as a snack.

It was under such subtle influence that eating locusts gradually became a common thing for people.

And not only people in Qingshan Town love to eat the crispy fried locusts, other towns in Wuning County also know that locusts are edible.

The locusts in Wuning County are not only eaten by people every day, but also by tens of thousands of ducks.

The key is that ducks are very powerful. Each duck can eat at least dozens of locusts every day. If tens of thousands of ducks are added together, you can imagine how large the amount they kill every day.

Li Mengyue raises 30,000 ducks. They eat well every day and grow very fast. The big ones weigh three or four kilograms.

Fortunately, she had bought more than a thousand acres of land before, so she didn't have to worry about the ducks having no place to live. Otherwise, the family would not be able to raise 30,000 ducks.

Since Li Mengyue is very busy every day, she usually doesn't take care of the ducks. The ducks are from the Infinite Breeding Base. As long as she gives the instructions, the ducks will not only not run around, but will also work hard to eat locusts. They are very easy to raise.

Mrs. Li saw that the ducks were well-behaved and obedient every day, and she often praised the little ducks, which made Li Mengyue laugh and cry.

The duck farming on Li Mengyue's side was going very smoothly. County Magistrate Yang took away 100,000 ducklings from Li Mengyue. According to Li Mengyue's request, 10,000 ducklings were distributed to each county.

However, Magistrate Mengchuan believed that the locust plague was nonsense, and that using the method of raising ducks to kill the locusts was not reliable at all.

When faced with the ducks that County Magistrate Yang distributed to their county, they not only mocked and disdainfully, but also thought that the other county magistrates were crazy and had their minds confused as they were fooling around with Yang Zhijin.

Yang Zhijin was ridiculed by the magistrate of Mengchuan County, but he would not try to please the magistrate. He promptly distributed the 10,000 ducklings that were supposed to belong to Mengchuan County to other counties.

During this period, the little ducks in other counties also played a huge role, eating countless locusts and insect eggs, and to a certain extent, alleviating the damage caused by locusts to crops.

However, the locust plague this time covered too wide a range. Yang Zhijin had submitted a memorial long ago, but he had yet to receive an imperial decree from the court.

Born into the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion, he is the legitimate eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the crown prince and inherit the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion.

But his mother died of severe bleeding during childbirth, leaving him alone.

As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Before his mother's body was cold, his father married Qin Huiyan home in a sedan chair carried by eight people, with the ceremony of marrying her as his legal wife. She became the new mistress of the marquis's mansion.

And he was just a little baby who only knew how to eat and drink. If it weren't for the protection of his grandfather, he would have died under Qin Huiyan's scheme.

Not to mention living to adulthood, he probably won’t even live to be three years old.

After all, it is very easy to make a child who knows nothing disappear quietly in the inner house.

Fortunately, although his father looked down upon him and even regarded him as a shame, allowing that woman to abuse him, he still managed to survive tenaciously.

Later, his grandfather took him away from the marquis's mansion in the name of studying, and he lived a stable and peaceful life.

However, as he grew up, he could be made the crown prince, but his father always found various excuses to refuse.

Of course he understood what it meant. She just wanted that woman to deal with him, make him lose the qualification to become the crown prince, or even die, so as to make room for their precious son.

Little did they know that he had never thought of inheriting the Marquis's mansion, nor was he interested in the position of Crown Prince, but they kept pushing his bottom line.

Of course he would not let them get their wish and would not say that he would give up the position of Crown Prince.

However, he was impatient to be forced into fighting and wanted to live a peaceful life, but some people did not want him to have such a wish, so he requested to be demoted to be the county magistrate of Wuning County.

However, his father and Qin Huiyan saw that he had ended up in a poor place and thought that he had fallen into depravity. Even if he returned to Beijing in the future, he would have no chance to inherit the Marquisate, so they did not target him so much.

During the time he served as the county magistrate of Wuning County, although he was busy with official duties and his living conditions were poor, which were a far cry from those in the Marquis' Mansion, he felt at ease and lived a fulfilling life every day.

In such a situation, he naturally didn't want to be disturbed by anyone or anything.
