Although the current development of Datang seems to be booming, the population problem that plagues Bai Yuqi has never been solved.

The people who were plundered from the grasslands were put into intensive labor projects such as construction and factories, mines, and workshops, freeing up some of the local manpower as much as possible.

But this is not a long-term solution after all, and it is not conducive to his "small goal" of expanding the source of faith, it seems that after going back this time, he will have to discuss it with Li Shimin, and carry out reforms in the Tang Dynasty to liberate the manpower that is controlled by the hands of the elite, and the feudal society can also talk about human rights!

However, in order to free up the manpower controlled by the elite, we must first dismantle the issue of land privatization.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for those big families to let the population who worked for them be dumped to other places by Bai Yuqi.

The construction of the Tongbei Highway, if it were not placed in the winter agricultural slack period and profitable, it is estimated that such a large scale of the project would not have been possible.

Once the spring ploughing season begins, a large amount of manpower will flow back to the land owned by the elite, and it will not be so easy to start such a large-scale project.

I just don't know if the movement to nationalize land in Datang can be successful, or try to let Li Shimin fire the first shot of fighting the landlords to divide the land?

It's very exciting to think about it? The emperor made a revolution, and the gods couldn't stop it?

It is a little difficult for Li Shimin to change his own life, after all, he is the biggest landlord in this Tang Dynasty time and space.

We have to find a way to find a way to embark on a socialist road with Tang characteristics without arousing class contradictions......

Bai Yuqi leaned against the car window and thought for a while, until the scenery along the way outside the window caught his attention.

It stands to reason that it is March, the spring breeze is warm, and the earth should be green, right?

However, after the steam train entered the Guanzhong area, the area it passed along the way was still a dull appearance, which was too abnormal.

And as you get closer and closer to the Gyeonggi area, you can even see "dark clouds" rising and landing through the train window!

This surprised Bai Yuqi, was the locust plague so serious in March?

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be after entering the hot June, July and August before the outbreak will be intensive?

Without waiting for Bai Yuqi to search through the system, he checked the record of the locust plague that broke out in the second year of Zhenguan in history.

I heard a dense crash from the body, and even the window of the car crackled!

Listening to the crashing sound like a torrential rain, Bai Yuqi was stunned by the swarm of locusts outside the window.

He has never experienced a locust plague in later generations, so he knows that once a few locusts become a swarm, it will be such a terrifying scene?

It's a bit serious, isn't it?

Watching the locusts that rained down on the car windows, and then turned into a puddle of worm paste, quickly covering the windows of the car.

Bai Yuqi couldn't help frowning, this locust plague came too early and the scale was too big, this was a little wrong!

Suddenly, there was a "click!", and a crack suddenly opened in the car window next to Bai Yuqi.

Immediately after that, the windows of the entire carriage cracked, causing the disciples of the Wuji Sect to exclaim.

But it was a swarm of migrating locusts that happened to crash into a moving steam train, and even the window glass was shattered!

You must know that because the manufacturing process is not up to par, the glass workshop under Tiangongmen has not been able to develop tempered glass for the time being, so in order to improve the strength of the glass, these window glasses installed on the steam train are made thicker.

Even so, they were actually knocked out of the crack by the locusts, and some were even directly crushed!

No matter how chaotic his disciples were, they shouted and looked for something to block the windows.

Bai Yuqi suddenly raised his hand, grabbed a locust that flew in front of him, and observed it carefully.

This green locust, even if he pinched the strong hind legs with sharp serrations, and fluttered fiercely, he actually twisted his thighs alive!

Looking at the pair of sharp jaws of the locusts that were constantly clamping, Bai Yuqi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, is this thing so fierce?

What's even more terrifying is that Bai Yuqi discovered a terrible situation!

That is, these locusts, which are half the length of the palm of a hand, are not fully grown adults, but nymphs that are only three or four years old!

The growth process of locusts is divided into three stages: eggs, nymphs (larvae), and adults, and in the nymph stage, they shed their skin five times, and each time they shed their skin, it is called one instar.

The newly hatched larvae are tender green and have no wings, and only grow wing buds after shedding their skin three times, the fourth time the wings have basically grown but cannot fly, the fifth time they can flutter a few times, and they can only fly when they are fully mature.

But in front of me, it is only the third or fourth instar nymph stage that can fly, and it is still so big, so wouldn't it be even bigger when it is fully mature?

Can a locust grow that big?

Bai Yuqi, who didn't know what kind of locust it was, began to worry, judging from the current situation, there must have been some change that he didn't know!

Fortunately, the steam train had already arrived at the newly built railway station in the Taiji Imperial Capital, and Bai Yuqi didn't care about placing the disciples of the Wuji Sect who accompanied him, so he summoned an Ao Neng war horse and rushed to the palace.

And the brain flower that had just come out of the exclusive carriage with great difficulty saw it, and hurriedly carried its totem pole and chased after it, which frightened the station staff for a while.

Even the Taiji Imperial Capital is full of flying locusts, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.

The serrated teeth on the legs of these locusts are like two razors when they fly, and they can scrape two bloody wounds when they hit people, so it is no wonder that people look like they are facing a great enemy.

Bai Yuqi is not afraid of locusts scratching his skin.

But the problem was that as he rode his horse, there were constantly flying locusts pounced on his face to obstruct his vision.

He had to unleash the [Mage Armor], which failed to come in handy when fighting the brain beasts that were still "brain eaters", and formed a layer of arcane defense on the surface of his body to block the locusts.

rushed all the way to Taiji Palace, and the brain flower who followed behind Bai Yuqi startled the Imperial Forest Army guarding the door, and hurriedly pulled out the bow and arrows and shot over!

A slap of the arrow, since being "shot" by Bai Yuqi, the brain flower that left a psychological shadow was angry on the spot, opened his mouth and roared, and planned to carry the totem pole up to fight with others, but fortunately Bai Yuqi stopped it in time, otherwise the team of royal guards guarding the door was really not enough for it to dismantle.
