While Su Chen was searching for mineral deposits, the pest control work in Guanzhou was also going very smoothly.
Su Chen was very satisfied with Liu Mo's ability to do things!
During this period when nationwide pest control was in full swing, Liu Mo also chose a suitable time to confess the truth to the people.
At the beginning, when the people heard that their fields had been destroyed, they felt as if the sky was falling, and they almost became angry and revolted to demand an explanation.
Fortunately, Liu Mo explained in time and calmed the people's emotions.
The common people also know that although the fields have been destroyed, life must go on. You can't delay the pest control work because of these things, right?
In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, even if they can no longer farm in the future, there are still other ways out.
After adjusting their emotions, the people worked harder to eliminate pests, and their efficiency increased a lot!
"Yes, I originally thought that when the people heard that their fields were destroyed, they would do something irrational in excitement, but now it seems that I was overly worried."
After hearing about this incident, Su Chen became more and more satisfied with Liu Mo.
Judging from the current situation, Guanzhou's pest control work may be faster than he expected.
As long as we continue to spray pesticides and clean up the eggs buried in the ground, this locust plague may be able to be solved.
A few days later, Su Chen received another piece of good news.
It is said that due to the strict implementation by local governments, except for the three northern continents, there are basically no locust plagues in the rest of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, it seems that the focus of pest eradication now only needs to be on the three northern continents. As long as other states and counties have proper control, there will be no problems!"
Seeing the good news coming one after another, Su Chen smiled more and more. The nerves that had been tense these days could finally relax.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Su Chen still prepared for the worst and did not relax because of this.
Under his arrangement, pest control pesticides and equipment were continuously transported to various parts of Datang.
In order to effectively control the scope of the locust plague, Su Chen specially asked people to build a special defense line at the borders of the three northern continents.
To be honest, this is the first time Su Chen has treated something so seriously. He has never been so serious about dealing with a country before.
In Su Chen's opinion, since the rats hiding in Anzhong had caused him so much trouble, he must make them pay an extremely heavy price!
…
On this day, Su Chen got up and washed as usual, then had breakfast, and after eating, he was ready to go into the mountains to search for minerals.
While Su Chen was enjoying the delicious breakfast, a guard suddenly walked in.
"Reporting to the Lord Protector, I have something important to report. It's about last night's vigil!"
The guard said respectfully.
"How to say?
Did you find anything?"
Su Chen asked.
The guard replied: "To the Lord Protector, after our investigation, a total of thirteen people were found in the forest, seeming to be spying on us!"
"From nightfall to dawn, they appeared a total of seven times!"
"interesting……"
A playful smile appeared on Su Chen's lips, and he continued to ask: "Then have they discovered that their whereabouts have been exposed?"
"No, we have always kept the Lord Protector's orders in mind and never alerted the enemy!"
"Ah That's good."
Su Chen put down the tea cup in his hand and kept tapping his fingers on the table.
"It seems that these mice finally can't sit still..."
"I want to see who are among these rats..."
Su Chen's eyes gradually became cold, and the guard who reported the incident felt trembling all over after just one glance!
The Protector is obviously angry!
On the surface, Su Chen has been wandering around in the mountains and forests every day during this period, without even dealing with his whereabouts.
This is not to say that Su Chen is not worried that someone will attack him, but he is afraid that no one will attack him!
The reason why he did this was to lure the snake out of its hole!
Although he didn't know who was involved in the plot of the locust plague this time, he could roughly guess some of their psychological trends!
In his opinion, since he had taken action to control the locust plague, he would definitely make these people panic and frightened.
They will be afraid that once they deal with the locust plague, they will be wildly retaliated by him!
And they also know that with her own abilities, she will catch them even if they escape to the ends of the earth!
Now they are like beasts trapped in a cage. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival, they will do it regardless of anything!
Therefore, there is more than a 90% chance that these people will choose to attack themselves first!
And the facts proved that Su Chen's guess was not wrong, he guessed everything right!
Now, taking action against Su Chen is the last chance for those remnants of the aristocratic family!
In order to lure out these hidden aristocratic families, Su Chen spent a lot of money this time and directly used himself as bait!
Therefore, during this period of time, Su Chencai did not hide his whereabouts at all and basically exposed them directly in front of them.
However, in the first ten days, Su Chen basically didn't notice any movements from the family, as if nothing happened.
Su Chen almost thought that these aristocratic families were ready to give up everything and choose to run away.
If the guards hadn't come to tell him that they had discovered something today, Su Chen would have planned to remove the manpower he secretly arranged and then set off for Haizhou.
"Next, let's see who is the real fish..."
After breakfast, Su Chen did not immediately set off into the mountain, but quietly asked someone to change the secret arrangement.
Now, in addition to having more than 200 guards secretly taking turns monitoring the surrounding situation twelve hours a day, Su Chen also arranged for 600 people to be on standby along the way.
After arranging everything, Su Chen continued into the mountain, but the number of guards around him remained the same as usual, without any change.
In order to get the fish to take the bait, Su Chen deliberately let the guards continuously expose their flaws, so that the informants arranged by the aristocratic families could get more and more information...
For the remnants of these aristocratic families, Su Chen didn't have much time to play with them. He wanted to deal with them as quickly as possible, and then go to rescue the other two continents.
…
Haizhou.
In the past few days, all kinds of detailed information about Su Chen have been coming in, and the faces of the heads of the aristocratic families have become brighter and brighter.
