Chapter 35: The Pole of Breath

"Well, but I can't articulate it?"

Hesitantly, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Chu Muhan's eyes, but he couldn't respond halfway, seeing this, Ye Li moved his lips slightly, and finally swallowed the words that had slipped to his mouth. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

She can afford to wait, and the situation in Tongzhou is not a little sloppy, Chu Muhan can be more cautious, it is good.

Moreover, that method is just the result of her brainstorming for a while, although there is no solid evidence to prove, but it is not without practicability, just as soon as the locusts were caught in the early morning, there is Dong Xuan's "Book of Saving the Famine and Living People" in the Southern Song Dynasty as evidence.

Therefore, for her, this method of using artemisia to lure locusts is not without the possibility of success.

After all, the plans that can be passed on to the world have all been successfully tested by history, but whether she is feasible or not will not be able to make a decision until Chu Muhan arrives in Tongzhou.

"Your solution is really unexpected, but whether it can be used or not remains to be considered."

Retracting his gaze staring at the rice paper, Chu Muhan immediately grabbed Ye Li's shoulder, and the eyes looking at her flashed with excitement, "But my intuition tells me that it can be done!" ”

"If this plan can be successful, it will be a good thing!"

Exhaled heavily, as if affected by Chu Muhan's emotions, Ye Li also had a trace of pride in her heart, and under the excitement, she had forgotten her caution, and immediately poured out all the relevant knowledge she knew.

At this time, Chu Muhan was immersed in the communication between the two, and he didn't suspect Ye Li, and Ye Li rarely met someone who could talk, so he became more and more unscrupulous in his speech, so for a while, the atmosphere between the two of them was also harmonious.

It can be said that since Ye Li has traveled to the present, he has finally been able to have a trace of resonance with this thoughtful man at this moment, and this has also made Ye Li realize the development prospects of their future relationship.

is not to be a husband and wife, to be a comrade-in-arms, after all, it is always better to be unanimous with the outside world than to turn against each other.

In this way, there is no need for the two of them to be reluctant to each other, and there is no need to use forced smiles to win the praise of outsiders, not to mention that Ye Li can also see that with Chu Muhan's indifferent temperament, he naturally won't care about those false names, which is good for both of them.

And she will do her best to help him get the power he wants, and then he can send her to be free and easy in this life, and taking what she needs is the perfect deal.

From then on, she can be accompanied by silver needle wine, enjoy all things in this world, and after making three or five confidants, she will find a beautiful mountain forest, and also come to a good story of "Thirty Springs in Dongshan", which can be described as beautiful and fast!

It's just that such days are still in the mirror, and now she is trapped in the cage and can't get out, so she can only think about it!

Silently sinking her thoughts, under the boredom, Ye Li had to look out the window, and used the beautiful scenery in the house to calm the unwillingness that was surging in her heart.

At this time, Chu Muhan was already immersed in the formulation of the locust control plan, but Ye Li didn't care too much about whether he could be spied on by him. First, in his memory, he has always been a devoted, and secondly, Ye Li is now lazy to act, so he simply saves these hypocrisy and pretentiousness.

Anyway, Chu Muhan said that between them, you and I are commensurate, so she definitely won't ask for trouble, and she can't ask for a simple life here.

"I remember you said that according to what I think, you can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause," raising his eyes to the slender woman leaning against the window, Chu Muhan's wrist moved, and just dropped the last stroke on the paper, "I don't know what is the difference between today's strategy and my method of treating the symptoms?" ”

"Both are just palliatives, and there is no difference."

While speaking, Ye Li reached out and picked up the rice paper on the case, the ink on it had not yet dried, and what was clearly visible was the writer's penmanship through the back of the paper.

So for a while, what echoed in Ye Li's mind was only one sentence: "The golden scales are not in the pool, and they change dragons when they encounter the wind and clouds."

And the disaster in Tongzhou may be the long wind that helped him soar, let him become a great treasure, and pointed out thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the Jinluan Palace.

"If you want to cure the root cause, it depends on whether the prince can endure it."

"Locusts in the extreme drought", "Locusts will come after a long drought"

Locust plagues have also been linked to severe drought in the region. The main reason for this phenomenon is that locusts are warm, dry insects that prefer to breed and survive, and that arid conditions have many benefits for their reproduction, growth and survival. Because locusts lay their eggs in the soil, the soil is relatively firm, and the water content is 10%~20% most suitable for them to lay eggs.

Drought causes locusts to multiply and grow rapidly, causing disasters in two ways. On the one hand, in drought years, due to the drop in water level, the soil becomes more solid, the water content is reduced, and the ground vegetation is sparse, the number of eggs laid by locusts increases greatly, and it can reach 4000~5000 egg masses per square meter of soil, and there are 50~80 eggs in each egg mass, that is, 200,000~400,000 eggs per square meter. At the same time, in dry years, the water surface of rivers and lakes shrinks, and the low-lying land is exposed, which also provides more suitable places for locusts to lay eggs. On the other hand, plants grown in arid environments have a lower water content, and locusts feed on them, growing faster and having higher fertility. On the contrary, rainy and humid conditions have many adverse effects on locust reproduction. The high water content of the plants that the locusts feed on will delay the growth of locusts and reduce their fertility, and the rainy and humid environment will also make locust epidemics, and rain and snow can also directly kill locust eggs. In addition, the increase in natural predators such as frogs will also increase the mortality rate of locusts.

Severe droughts are often followed by floods. The alternating occurrence of floods and droughts has led to the emergence of many large areas of barren beaches or abandoned lands in areas along lakes, coastal areas, river floods, and waterlogging, and this has directly formed natural geographical conditions suitable for the occurrence and rampant occurrence of locusts.

The Yellow River flooding area below Zhengzhou and the Bohai Bay locust area are also directly formed by the overflow diversion of the Yellow River, the change of the inlet channel and the sediment accumulation of the estuary.

Yao Chong exterminates locusts:

Seeing that the crops were so badly destroyed by locusts, people could not do anything about it.

The situation is getting worse and the affected areas are expanding. The magistrates had to complain to the imperial court.

Yao Chong issued an order for the people to light a fire in the field at night. When the locusts saw the light of the fire flying down, they concentrated on culling; At the same time, dig a big pit at the edge of the field and burn it while fighting.

In the Song Dynasty, the new "digging method" was introduced to catch locusts, and the "Book of Song" contained the first spring of the first year of Jingyou, "the edict recruited the people to dig locust seeds and give rice to them", and in June, "all roads recruited people and dug more than 10,000 stones of locust seeds". Locust seeds are locust eggs, and digging out locust eggs and destroying them can avoid regeneration in the next year.
