The convoy of Kong Yu and his party finally arrived in Qingzhou City, and although the people who came and went along the way looked haggard, they could see that they had a good life in the past few months. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Kong Yu first met Emperor Taizu, gave the emperor a New Year's gift, and said his intention.

After hearing this, Emperor Taizu replied: "I will tell Huan Ji about this matter, but it is up to her whether she wants it or not." “

Emperor Taizu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kong Yu and continued: "Don't have too much hope, the people in Li Qing's realm are just doing what Li Yuma left back then, and they are actually not very useful. ”

Kong Yu also understood in his heart that he had also lived in Li Qingshan back then, and the people in Li Qing's realm were all researching and executing, and it was Li Qing who came up with the idea and gave the order.

He came this time because the locust plague in Qingzhou was well controlled, and he wanted to learn the locust control methods in Qingzhou, and he wanted to move to other state capitals step by step.

There is no official post station in Qingzhou, Kong Yu and others can only go to the guest house, Huan Ji will not miss such a good opportunity, they naturally have to spend money, fortunately, the consumption in Qingzhou City is not very high, and food and accommodation are not very expensive.

Emperor Taizu asked him to go to Huan Ji to go back to the princess's mansion, he knew that Huan Ji was very busy during this time, and every bit of Qingzhou was built by Huan Ji with painstaking efforts.

Huan Ji will live in the princess's mansion as long as she returns to Qingzhou City, no matter how the concubine nourishes her, she is still emaciated, and Huan Ji at this time is much worse than when she was in Beijing, and she has changed more than in Li Qing's realm back then, even Kong Yu and others may not recognize it when they see it.

Huan Ji guessed that Kong Yu and the others should have entered the city, so she packed up her things and went back to the princess's mansion.

Emperor Taizu said: "Now that the locusts in Qingzhou have been controlled, you must pay attention to rest, the construction of Qingzhou can be done slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Huan Ji smiled and said, "Yes, Erchen obeys. Erchen plans to leave for Xuzhou tomorrow to have a look, go to Xuzhou and then go to Haozhou, and then come back through Songzhou. ”

Emperor Taizu asked, "You have to go for half a year this time, right?" Is it hiding from Kongyu? ”

Huan Ji replied: "Father knows and asks, Master Kong has a sharp eye, it is better to avoid meeting." ”

Emperor Taizu said: "It's okay to go out and inspect it, so as to save the people below from being lazy, just don't be too tired yourself." Kong Yu came this time to ask the people in Li Qing's realm to help assist other state capitals in dealing with the locust plague, I know you don't want to meddle in things, but after all, they are all the people of Datang, and the land of Datang, I still hope that you can contribute. ”

Huan Ji said: "My father should also know the general situation in Qingzhou, all the things planted in Qingzhou are not eaten by locusts. All the food eaten by the people of Qingzhou is paid by the Qingzhou government, that is, I pay to support them. But if other regions follow suit, will the treasury be able to afford to support people from both worlds? And can the relief grain and grass issued by the emperor be distributed to all the people? ”

Emperor Taizu was speechless, he found that since he had such a daughter, someone had spoken back to him, and he would be silenced many times.

Huan Ji said: "Let me tell my father honestly, the effect of the crops planted on the locusts is to make the locusts have no food to eat. Although soybeans and alfalfa can be eaten by humans, they cannot be eaten too much, and they cannot be sold for much money when they are shipped out and sold, and most of these I use to feed chickens, ducks and geese. ”

Emperor Taizu was shocked, he always thought that the princess planted these because the locusts did not eat, there were other uses, but he didn't expect that since it was to feed chickens and ducks. If it were replaced by other state capitals, it would naturally not take the land where grain was grown to feed chickens, ducks and geese.

Emperor Taizu was puzzled: "You asked the emperor to borrow nearly 100,000 birds, just to let them eat these things planted by the people of Qingzhou?" Isn't that like you? “

Huan Ji laughed and said: "Father really understands children, those birds are the heroes of the extermination of locusts, the eggs of locusts are laid deep in the underground soil, even if they are burned with fire. Only these birds will dig them out of the soil with their beaks, and locusts cannot fly when they are young, making it easier for birds to catch. I know that most of those precious birds are raised by the ministers of the DPRK and China, but I am reluctant to return them. ”

Huan Ji took a deep breath and began to say with a serious face: "Father knows that a nest of big can eat more than 2,000 insects during the brooding period of half a month; A nest of swallows can eat 1,200 locusts a month; A single woodpecker can kill hundreds of pests hiding in tree trunks in a day, and can also protect the 90 acres of forest around it from pests. Swallows, great and cuckoos can also destroy large numbers of rodents, and a single pair of parent birds and a nest of chicks can eat more than 16,200 locusts per month. Frogs can also kill more than 10,000 pests in a summer. ”

Emperor Taizu was completely suppressed, he knew that birds eat locusts, but he didn't know that he could eat so much, no wonder Huan Ji asked the emperor to help find so many birds, and also ordered the people of Qingzhou not to hunt birds and frogs.

Huan Ji looked at Emperor Taizu and said: "Now that the birds in Qingzhou have also begun to breed, and next summer, I can return 100,000 birds to the emperor, as for the whereabouts of the birds, it is naturally the emperor's decision." ”

Emperor Taizu didn't know how to feel in his heart, he knew that Huan Ji was kind-hearted and wouldn't really ignore the emperor, look, the benefits were given to the emperor.

Early the next morning, Princess Huanji left a letter for the emperor and quietly left Qingzhou City with Cheng Ying and other guards.

Emperor Taizu summoned Kong Yu, handed him the letter left by Huan Ji, and said what Huan Ji had said.

The letter describes the process of locust reproduction, the environment in which locusts live, and how to prevent it. For example, agricultural prevention and animal prevention.

Kong Yu has participated in the research on the governance and construction of Qingzhou, and the content written in Princess Huanji's letter is roughly the same as what they studied, but they only saw the surface and thought that the princess was building Qingzhou.

Now that there is more process of locust reproduction and growth, it suddenly dawned on him that all the measures taken by Princess Huanji are to control locusts, even if it is useful to ask the emperor to borrow money to find birds.

Kong Yu sighed why he hadn't thought about studying locusts and solving the problem fundamentally.

Kong Yu stayed in Qingzhou for half a month, and he collected some matters about the construction of Qingzhou, sorted out the book and returned to Beijing.

Kong Yu handed over his understanding of the construction of Qingzhou and the princess's experience in controlling locusts to the emperor, who asked him to read it out in the early court, and asked Zhongshu Province to draw up a plan for the implementation of locust control in Henan Province and Huainan Province.

There was a lot of discussion between the DPRK and China, and the ministers said that they would let other states in Huainan Province and Henan Province follow the example of Qingzhou.

But it's easier said than done, the imperial court decreed, the officials of Huainan Province and Henan Province were under great pressure, and they also wanted to follow suit, but they also had to have money, food, and someone to cooperate.
