Chapter 199 Operation Spotted Moth Extermination
When the enemy attacks, the soldiers' primary task is to defend themselves. Failure to sow or missing the harvest time will affect the year's yield.
If drones could be used to assist, half of the troops could be saved for defense. I wonder if Xiao Wu'er would promote drones in Dongli.
At daybreak, Mo Ye arranged for people to clean up the remaining dead moths. The cleaners all wore face towels and used long bamboo tongs to pick them up, minimizing contact with the moths.
In the afternoon, the group arrived at the southern outskirts of the city, where Yang Jianwu taught Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan how to operate the drone.
Agricultural drones are huge, and neither of them had any experience with them, so they decided to start with something smaller. Each of them got one drone to practice with, and most importantly, it was cheap.
It's inevitable to make small mistakes on the first operation. Mo Ye didn't control the direction well, and the drone crashed directly into the tree branch.
Mo Ye looked at the others embarrassedly, "Hehe, it was an accident."
After shaking the control stick a few times in an attempt to steer the drone away, one of the propellers got caught on a tree branch. The combined force of these maneuvers rendered the drone unusable.
"Forehead……"
Mo Ye could hardly bear to look at him.
Yang Jianwu clutched her chest, glaring at the embarrassed Mo Ye, "Ouch..."
A perfectly good drone was ruined by some careless person. How could it crash into a tree branch? Unbelievable! Luckily, we had the foresight to use a small drone for them to practice with. If it were a large-scale plant protection operation, no amount of medical stations could compensate for their waste...
"When I get married, please provide two more dowries!"
"it is good!"
Mo Ye would never refuse. Not to mention two portions, three or four portions would be fine. Xiao Wu'er is contributing to Dongli, and she can't be rewarded openly. What's a couple more portions to add to her dowry?
After an afternoon of hard work, the two finally mastered the essentials of operating the drone. When they fly it higher, there will be no loss.
The next morning, Yang Jianwu and Puyang Xuan set off with Li Ge and Song Yin. Liang Yan had some medical skills, so it would be convenient for her to take care of Qing Dai. Yang Jianwu wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else take care of her.
Between cities, there were mostly wilderness and woodlands, and the number of wood moths was within the normal range. Yang Jianwu and his group headed straight for the next city.
After entering the city, we found an inn at random, had a meal, and rested. We were going to be very active at night, so we decided to sleep while we could.
Mo Ye arrived a step later than them. After entering the city, he immediately gathered local officials to read out the imperial edict and assigned the dispatched personnel to different districts for management.
With the moon high in the sky, the four of them got up and went to the highest point in the city. Mo Ye had already informed the government that the people were staying at home and the brothels had also suspended their business. The whole city was quiet, with only the occasional sound of patrolling men passing by.
Because Mo Ye had to convey orders and arrange matters, the original plan of the three taking turns to rest was changed to Yang Jianwu riding Xiaobai to spray pesticides in the city, while Puyang Xuan and Song Yin each operated an agricultural drone to spray the area around the city and the suburbs.
Li Ge acted as an assistant, promptly replacing the batteries of any drone that ran out of power and recharging the depleted batteries.
What used to be a task that took a whole night can now be completed in just two or three hours.
After finishing their work, the four quickly packed their belongings and set off for the next city.
As dawn broke, Mo Ye led his men to clean up the battlefield. Many people were terrified at the sight of the dense swarms of moths for the first time. However, since His Highness Prince Ning hadn't raised any objections and had even accompanied them to the scene, who dared to object?
And so, the four of them operated at night, with Mo Ye leading his men to begin clearing the area before dawn, trying to finish before the people moved around.
When one or two people asked out of curiosity, they only said they were worried that there were too many of these insects and that it would affect the crops next year, so they asked the herbalist to prepare medicine to deal with them.
Even if word gets out gradually in the future, and there aren't any dense moths to be seen, and the outbreak has been largely contained for a long time, the moth incident won't cause panic among the public. At the same time, it also garnered positive reviews for the doctor.
The past two days have been gloomy and oppressive as we approached the border. After arriving at Hanlingjun, the long-awaited rain finally came.
After working tirelessly for several nights in a row, all four of them were exhausted and took advantage of the rain to get some rest.
Hanlingjun has a branch of Huashuiyuefang. The manager led the guests to a private room and reported to Yang Jianwu on the recent profits and how the crab feast a while ago caused a sensation in the city.
Other businesses in the surrounding area followed suit, but something went wrong. After eating the crabs, customers experienced allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, and other symptoms. As a result, the businesses quickly removed the crabs from their menus.
In the end, only Huashuiyuefang continued to operate as usual. Since no one experienced any abnormalities and they could enjoy the rare delicacy, they came here specifically to eat crabs.
The problem of excessive crabs in the rice paddies was solved, and good reviews and profits were gained. As a result, Huashuiyuefang's reputation became even more renowned, and it made a fortune.
