Everything was going well.

Under the continuous rush of the ever-expanding [Tiangongmen] four shifts and three downs.

A large number of large agricultural machines in the form of steam engines were produced and put into large-scale agricultural production.

The first to be put into spring ploughing was the land under Bai Yuqi's name.

The population of the surrounding counties of Lantian County has been absorbed into the [Wujimen] industry in large quantities.

Therefore, the agricultural population has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer enough to support agricultural production, but after a series of acquisitions, mergers or leases by [Financegate].

The small fields in the hands of the people were all collected under the name of [Wujimen], and an agricultural production brigade was formed to cultivate them in a unified manner, which improved the efficiency of farming...... A few steam farm machines for a day are enough for the people of these lands to work for several months!

From ploughing, turning the soil, fertilizing, sowing ...... When the process was completed, I saw rows of steel monsters roaring past with black smoke, and the endless fields were planted!

Even watering doesn't need to be bothered, in the winter the disciples of [Shennongmen] are not idle, digging wells and ditches and even burying leaking diamond bamboo drainage pipes in the fields, just to prepare for the drought in the second year of Zhenguan.

As a result, neither the locust plague nor the drought affected the cultivation of the Lantian counties at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

Due to the completion of the cultivation of the land under the name of [Wujimen] on schedule, when the biological locust extermination legion controlled the locust plague, the steam agricultural equipment brigade under the name of [Shennongmen] began to march.

Because the noble class who had a cooperative relationship with [Wujimen] had already negotiated the matter of renting land, and handed over all the fields under their names to [Shennongmen] to be responsible for farming.

They don't need to contribute any manpower and material resources, they only need to contract their land to [Shennongmen] for farming, and they will pay 60% of the harvest of previous years as the contracted land rent during the autumn harvest.

Don't think that sixty percent is a bit of a loss, without the premise that they need to invest any manpower, material resources, or seeds, they can still receive a harvest of sixty percent according to the harvest year.

You must know that in the past, even in a good year, one mu of land could produce six or seven buckets of grain (80 catties per mu), but now they can collect four buckets of grain (48 catties) of rent per mu of land just out of a vacant land.

You don't need to buy good seeds, you don't need to invite tenants, just do it and wait, and you can get 4,000 stone of grain (according to 10,000 acres) when you harvest in the autumn.

However, due to the limited output of steam agricultural machinery, coupled with the imperfect maintenance, fuel and other supporting facilities, it is temporarily impossible to promote the whole Datang.

Therefore, all kinds of small improved agricultural tools were sent to various provinces of the Tang Dynasty for sale or rent very early on, along with a large number of livestock plundered from the Turkic steppe.

Taking advantage of the fact that many people could not afford to buy large livestock and new farm tools, the accompanying [Shennongmen] disciples also came up with the "agricultural cooperative" system, allowing the people to use their fields and their own labor as shares, and use new farm tools and large livestock such as cattle and horses for free, so as to solve the problem of insufficient productivity of the people as much as possible.

With the spread of new farm tools, new systems, and new seeds in the Tang Dynasty, it is not surprising that there will be a huge harvest that shocks the Tang Dynasty and the opposition during the autumn harvest!

Everything is being implemented step by step according to Bai Yuqi's plan.

But with the second and third generation of locust tides suppressed by the biological locust legion.

From the beginning of the fourth generation of locust tides, the biological locust extermination army began to be a little overwhelmed, and had to ask for help from the Wuji Emperor who was in the Qinling Mountains.

Because those locusts have also begun to appear "arcane"!

Originally, under the infection of [Arcane particles], locusts appeared to be gigantic, and they could grow to about 10 centimeters after adulthood.

However, it may have been swept away too hard by the thunderstorm chariots, bird brigades, and poultry army, which stimulated the survival instinct of these locusts, and began to evolve rapidly.

Although the scale of the second generation of locust tide is not larger than that of the first generation of locust tide, some of them can grow to about 20 centimeters.

Although the scale of the third generation of locust tides began to decline, they generally grew to more than 20 centimeters, and even appeared 30 centimeters, which is a foot long!

What is the concept of a foot-long locust?

Ten of them can weigh a pound, enough to fry a plate of dishes!

Although the "locust sweeping" effect of the Thunderstorm Chariot and the Creature Locust Extermination Legion is still significant.

But it's obviously not as easy as it used to be, because these giant locusts are starting to become aggressive!

The serrated teeth on the legs of these large locusts are like small scythes in high-speed flight, and they are cut as if they have been cut by a knife.

In the process of sweeping locusts, many [Wujimen] disciples began to be injured, and they had to urgently make protective equipment to protect themselves.

But the problem is that the disciples of Wujimen can protect themselves with sophisticated anti-locust equipment, but the people in the Gyeonggi area of Guanzhong do not have this condition!

In addition, as soon as these big locusts fly, it will be a scene that covers the sky and the sun, and whoever is unlucky happens to be in the way of their flight, waiting for the locust tide to pass by, they can be chopped alive into a bloody skeleton!

This has seriously affected the work and life of the people, and even in broad daylight, they are afraid to go out.

Even if you have to go out, you will wrap yourself tightly, and when you see a swarm of locusts flying over, you will learn to lie down on the spot to protect yourself.

The [Tiangongmen] disciple who controlled the Thunderstorm Chariot, after discovering that the [Lightning Tremor] Rune Array of the Thunderstorm Chariot was still able to shoot down the flying locusts, but it was generally unable to completely kill them, knew that the situation was starting to get serious, and had to send a message calling for help through the teleportation card.

By the time the information for help was transmitted layer by layer and transferred to Bai Yuqi's hands, it was already the situation of the fifth generation of locust tides.

These giant locusts, which are half a meter long, will even launch a collective counterattack when attacked, and some birds of the bird brigade and the poultry army have suffered casualties.

Although the locust tide is smaller from generation to generation, it is getting bigger from generation to generation, and the speed of generation change is getting faster and faster!

So far, it can take ten days to carry out a generation replacement, so when Bai Yuqi drove down the mountain, what he saw was already the sixth generation of locust tides!

The giant locust, which is seventy or eighty centimeters long and can reach a wingspan of about one and a half meters when it flies, looks like a green eagle, coupled with the hideous big jaw mouthparts and serrated sickle-like hind legs, it looks not to mention how scary!

The problem is, if it's just an eagle, it won't pose any threat to humans, but have you ever seen a flock of eagles in tens of thousands?
