The large fields in the outskirts were barren, swarms of locusts flying by, leaving no greenery in their path.
"These locusts are too fierce, their numbers are overwhelming, we simply can't eradicate them completely in a short time, the people are harvesting nothing. And added to that, the stored grain has been stolen, which is why..."
Chen Jie was full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Brother Lin. I couldn't complete the task you assigned to me..."
"It's not your fault."
Lin Beichen frowned slightly, then turned his head.
"The urgent task is to revitalize the city's economy so the people can eat, avoid more deaths from hunger, that's the real good deed!"
"But how should we do it?"
Chen Jie's face was bitter, he clearly had thought about this but couldn't find a solution.
Lin Beichen exhaled: "Let's start with these locusts."
"Locusts? What use could they possibly have?"
Lin Beichen gave a slight smile and whispered something in Chen Jie's ear. Chen Jie's face changed dramatically.
