Chapter 1273

On the first weekend after the locust plague, it was the time for the farmer gathering that Wang Bo and Christian had agreed upon.

He estimated that the farmers would not come. After all, the locust plague not long ago was too terrifying. Not all farms raised so many chickens, ducks and geese. In addition, the government did not respond in time, so many farms suffered huge damage.

However, the locust disaster has passed as the government organized agricultural aircraft to release pesticides on a large scale to kill the locusts.

Wang Bo called Christian and asked them if they would come. Christian said that they would definitely come, and everyone had made an agreement that they must come to Sunset Town. Thanks to Wang Bo.

Hearing this, he was at a loss. Why should these people thank him?

The answer was revealed on Saturday, when a super convoy of dozens of pickup trucks drove to Sunset Town in the morning, and then headed straight for the office building.

Seeing this fleet of pickup trucks, the security guards in the government office building were taken aback, thinking they were going to mess things up.

After Wang Bo saw it from the window, he came down and waited here for everyone.

The castle was under maintenance, so people could not be entertained, and there were not many farmers who came to the party, so there was no need to use the square to hold the party, so Wang Bo chose the government building as the meeting place, where there are conference rooms and reception halls.

Christian's Ford F150 led the way, they stopped the car, and the security guard came up and asked seriously, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Bo came out and waved: "Nade'an, it's okay, these are my friends, just let them in."

The security guard wiped his forehead and muttered, "I thought they were here to make trouble."

The farmers brought their families. There were sixty or seventy people in total. Wang Bo and Christan hugged each other, then shook hands one by one, and signaled them to go to the meeting room, where snacks and drinks were prepared.

Christan said: "We are not in a hurry to start a party, Wang, we would like to thank you first, this time you have done a good thing for our farms in Otago and Canterbury."

Wang Bo said strangely: "Yes, you said that before, what did I do?"

"Attracting firepower, buddy, Sunset Town has successfully attracted firepower in this locust plague, and it has become our shield." A farmer named Batru said with a smile.

Suddenly, Wang Bo realized that this was the case, and he knew about it.

The locusts moved in groups. When they went south, more than half of them flew to Sunset Town, and only a small half moved to the surrounding areas. This is why he felt so serious after seeing the scene of the locust disaster.

In this way, the small half of the locust swarm did not do any evil in the South Island, at least they did not suffer as much damage as those farms in Christchurch.

At that time, the news reported this incident, and some experts speculated that the abundance of aquatic plants in Sunset Town attracted the locust swarms, and there were a large number of birds and birds in the town, forming a super strong food web that wiped out the locust swarms.

Some people have begun to suspect that there is something wrong with the water and soil in Sunset Town. The beef and mutton raised here are of excellent quality, and the vegetables and grain grown here are easy to harvest. The locusts that appear now are also more interested in Sunset Town.

Therefore, some agricultural experts speculated that there might be some mysterious elements in the water and soil in Sunset Town, which could have a strong attraction to these animals and insects.

Wang Bo didn't pay much attention to these reports. Anyway, Sunset Town survived the disaster successfully, and it was a blessing in disguise. It is estimated that this batch of chickens, ducks and geese will grow fast and the meat quality is also good.

Up to now, there are still some locust swarms that slipped through the net and came to Sunset Town one after another. Of course, they came here to make food. The purple water chickens ate very well. Recently, they all ran to the edge to gather and encountered locust swarms Immediately meet.

Wang Bo smiled wryly: "So that's what happened. It's nothing. In fact, I didn't really want to help everyone, so you don't need to thank me."

"Don't say that, Wang, your ranch and farm have really helped us a lot. If the locust swarms go to my territory, then I will be miserable!"

"Having learned from this lesson, I will also raise some chickens and ducks, so I don't have to be afraid if there is another plague of locusts."

"Damn it, we used to rely on the government. The government is unreliable, so we might as well rely on each other."

The farmers discussed, and the conference room suddenly became lively.

The meeting room is decorated with simple jewelry. As in the party scene, tables and chairs are arranged in a circle, with large circles and small circles, so farmers can chat together or form a small circle to chat.

Drinks such as coffee, juice, and black tea are well prepared. He ordered a lot of snacks and snacks from the bakery, and everyone can eat and drink while chatting.

From the chat, Wang Bo learned some news that he hadn't noticed before.

This time, the North Island was more severely affected than the South Island. The locust plague was not as terrible as they imagined. The main reason was that New Zealand did not have a relative emergency mechanism. Everyone had never encountered a locust plague.

The speed of the government's response has been criticized, and many regions are now protesting the inaction of the Ministry of Agriculture, demanding an apology from the Prime Minister and cleaning up the Ministry of Agriculture.

In this regard, Wang Bo knew some inside information. The Ministry of Agriculture is still in the hands of the National Party. In fact, they responded quite quickly, but the Labor-Green Alliance Party was not strong enough and did not provide them with enough resources to fight the disaster.

Na Qingyang told him that the Labor-Green Alliance Party has been trying to win back some seats in Congress from the National Party, and also wants to drive them away from some real power departments, and this locust plague has become their battlefield.

Politics is always so dirty and disgusting. No matter whether the Labor and Green Party or the National Party, they only care about their own interests. Voters are like chamber pots.

The area around Christchurch on the South Island side was hardest hit, with the Quinoa Association having 25 farms go bankrupt as a result.

There are more bankrupt farms on the North Island. It is estimated that there are at least a hundred. In the South Island, except around Christchurch, there are not many bankrupt farms in other areas. Although there are losses, the losses are acceptable.

Then the farmers from Aocheng also came. They were invited by Wang Bo and Motak, and they all belonged to the Quinoa Association, so if you want to organize a party, it is better to organize a larger scale.

The farmers brought their beer, and as long as the farms that grow malt and wheat grow their own beer, they will more or less brew their own beer.

When there are too many people, it is lively, but it will also become noisy.

Wang Bo is the most popular one in the audience, there is no doubt about it, he is the host, the richest and most prestigious person here, everyone knows that if you make friends with him, you can get a lot of benefits.

In this way, he continued to entertain people in various circles, so that he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I just like the groom at the wedding, toasting everyone."

Bulls smiled and said, "Mayor Wang, when will you get married? Remember to invite us then."
