Li Yi was on his way. He wanted to go to Lantian County to see the situation and look back and think of a way to deal with it.

The people of Luoyang thanked Li Yi, and no one said he was a prodigal son.

When harvesting the wheat, a bundle of wheat was taken down with a wheat-cutting artifact, and more locusts jumped in the buried ground.

The people finally know what this is, the locust plague.

There are a lot of locusts, which have already been caught. If you don't catch them, more will pop up in a few days.

And a rich fool brought chickens, ducks and pigs over early in the morning and exchanged eggs for grasshoppers.

You can see that chickens and ducks eat grasshoppers and lay more eggs, while pigs eat locusts and grow faster.

Then everyone went to change the eggs, the chickens and ducks a few days ago, and they also learned to incubate artificially.

After cutting the wheat, revealing the ground and dense locusts underneath, did I understand how dangerous it is.

If you don't change a lot of poultry and know how to catch locusts, what should you do now?

now……

Now there are a large number of chickens and ducks running in the fields around Luoyang City, and the farmers have released the chickens and ducks.

The people in the front harvest the wheat, while the chickens and ducks in the back are flapping their wings, crouching high and pecking low, vying to eat the locusts.

As long as the locusts fly a little lower, they are guaranteed to be taken down by the chickens.

The duck stretched its neck, lowered its head, flattened its mouth, fanned its wings, and ran with its two legs up and down in the field. When they met one, they ate one.

A head hit a person's leg and he ignored him and continued to catch the locusts.

Some chickens and ducks that have not been replaced followed behind, fell somersaults after running two steps, turned over, and cooperated with each other to eat a locust.

The locusts are too big for the chickens, one can't eat them, a few rushed up, one by one, and one by one, they pulled them back with great effort.

"Don't step on the chickens and ducks, they will grow up." The man hired by the farmer to put the chickens and ducks followed him with a net bag, shouting for attention.

The two brothers Bi Gou stood by the field, letting the grasshopper fall on them and indifferent.

A yellow-haired chick ran over, looked up at a locust on Bi Gou, and whispered anxiously.

Bi Go took a look, grabbed the locust and fell to the ground. The chick rushed up.

A little chicken ran over and watched it come and grabbed it together. After a few clicks, the locust broke, and the two chickens ate it and turned to look for it again.

"Brother, it is obviously a plague of locusts. Why does my brother see the atmosphere of joy in the people here?"

Bi Xu looked at the people grinning, avoiding the little yellow chicken and the yellow duck.

Bi Gou still looked at the labor scene and said: "They saw hope. When they found that locusts could be used to feed poultry and livestock, they considered how to catch more locusts.

The common people also count the incubation period of chickens and ducks, knowing that a batch of chicks will be born every two days, and a batch of ducklings will be born every month.

Ducks eat more locusts than chickens. Now it is harvesting. After harvesting, a large number of locusts are in the ground.

It was lured by fire at night, caught during the day, and more than 70,000 large and small chickens and ducks were eating.

According to folklore, chickens and ducks are rectal, and when they eat and pull, the fertilizer will fall into the ground. "

When Bi Gou spoke, a grinning young figure appeared in his mind.

When he first came, he was scolded as a fool, but now the scolding man wants to be a teenager who kowtows to him.

There was no one to say hello, and the man ran away, leaving only a hundred dealers to take care of.

Bi Xu was still in a daze, everything happened too fast, less than a month.

As he was thinking, he saw a chicken laying an egg, and immediately a child ran over with a basket on his back.

The basket was covered with wheat stalks, and the child picked up the eggs carefully and put them in the basket. He dared not run any more, and walked to the side step by step.

There are already many large baskets next to them, and they are also covered with wheat stalks, and eggs and duck eggs are packed in them.

The hired people helped to watch people and count, collect ten eggs, and give the child a small bamboo sign.

Bi Xu knows that this brand can be used to pick up a chicken or duckling.

The locusts are flying, the wheat is harvesting, and the children are looking for them. They seem so harmonious.

"What kind of person is Li Yi?" Bi Xu thought hard, and found that he couldn't think of it and couldn't overlap Li Yi with other people.

Li Yi seems to be different from anyone else. I heard from my brother that he was sent by his majesty.

"I will inquire after my brother enters Chang'an. I said yes, I will be inlaid with three ceramic teeth with gold cores, and I will build a separate yard for me in Zhuangzi."

Bi Gou said with a smile, he believed that Li Yi was not talking for fun.

"Do they want to take these chickens and ducks back?" Bi Xu didn't think much about Chang'an, and began to think about transportation.

"Since he has taught the artificial incubation method, he is naturally more proficient. How can his Zhuangzi toss back and forth, he must sell it.

In addition to the toilet water, soap and other things he sold a few days ago, he did not lose money, but made several times. "

Bi Gou calculated the ratio of locusts changing eggs to babies, as well as the approximate number of eggs laid and the number of hatching.

I came to a conclusion that the chickens, ducks and pigs, which Li Yi brought over, would get back four to five times the money after the final sale.

The officials will say he is good, and the dealer has been thinking of ways to give benefits to the officials.

The people said he was good, they had more chickens and ducks to raise, and they also learned the technology of hatching and feeding poultry and pigs with grasshoppers to grow faster.

Amidst the compliments, his dealer will return with full satisfaction.

Compared with Bi Gou's overall consideration, the people are much simpler. They only know that the grasshoppers they drew can be exchanged for eggs, duck eggs, and chickens and ducks.

In their eyes, grasshoppers are available everywhere and are worthless. Chickens and ducks are good things.

As long as the grasshoppers don’t eat the wheat, they will start catching them in large quantities after the harvest.

At the same time, they found something interesting. When it was harvest time, birds always came to eat the wheat, but now all the birds ran to eat the locusts.

So in harmony, the wheat was harvested, and soon someone brought the threshing equipment, and smashed the wheat.

By this time, you don’t need to hull it anymore. Store the wheat or rice. You can store it longer if there is an outer husk.

Flour and rice have only a short shelf life and can cause bugs.

The stalks of the smashed grains were used for burning in the past, but now they are left to see if they are composted or mixed in the autumn to make green storage and then fed to the livestock together.

Even if they know that they can be burned in the field and used to fatten the field, they will not do it.

Because of the composting technology, the compost produced is stronger than burnt directly.

Bi Gou left with his hands behind his back while the locusts were flying. There was nothing left to see. There will be no problems with the food in Henan Province this year.

And the people will not be afraid of locusts in the future, they have found a way to deal with it, including how to persuade themselves to catch locusts.

Tianwei and locust gods, all stood aside in front of the eggs and duck eggs.

"Brother, do you still receive the summer rent this year?" Bi Xu thought of another question.

"In other places where the locusts are plagued, Henan Province will accept them. If others don't, Henan Province will accept them?" Bi Gou gave the answer.
