Shocked

Li Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "But even if the people recognize locusts as pests, there is no effective way to exterminate locusts, which is the most uncomfortable!" ”

This is true, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", and issued an edict to establish the "Doctor of the Five Classics", Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous, and for the evil politicians to whom the locusts are attributed, where has there been a decent locust extermination activity?

Even if Li Shimin wanted to exterminate the locusts, he didn't even have a reference.

Qin Shou thought about it and said, "If you want to say that it is really difficult to kill all of this locust plague at once, but in fact, if you want to kill locusts, it is not impossible to reduce the density of locusts. ”

Li Shimin nodded and nodded: "Yes......"

But halfway through the words, I suddenly felt wrong.

Well?

Wait a minute

What did you just say, that there is a way to kill locusts?

Did you hear me right?

Li Shimin suddenly grabbed Qin Shou's hand and asked excitedly, "What you just said is true?" Is there really a way to kill locusts? ”

"There are methods of manual fighting, fire, landfill, cutting off children and grandchildren, biological locust extermination, and food without locusts...... Don't know which one you want to use? ”

How several?

Li Shimin was stunned.

Take a deep breath!

"Goo-toot!"

Li Shimin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he asked Qin Shou again with his eyes like torches: "You kid, don't you take this thing for fun?" ”

Qin Shou nodded and said seriously: "Look at what you said, how dare I use this matter to entertain my father-in-law?" ”

"My father-in-law's land is plagued by locusts, can I not be in a hurry as a son-in-law?"

Li Shimin's suspicious eyes couldn't help but be fixed at this time.

Qin Shou continued: "The easiest way to manually fight is to capture the fight.

Unfortunately, now the imperial court does not encourage the people to catch locusts, in the Western Han Dynasty, the government came up with a method when dealing with the locust plague: order people to catch locusts, and then give rewards according to the number of catches. This father-in-law can learn from it, so that the enthusiasm of the farmers can be increased. ”

"The second burial method, dig the soil pit in advance, then put in the bait, wait for a large number of locusts to enter, and then bury the ......"

The eldest grandson nodded and said, "The locusts are coming, flying or gathering. The place where it gathers, the valley grass withers. The officials and the people, the trench road is a barrier, the list is driven in the trench, and the locusts accumulate in a thousand hundreds. ”

He still has an impression of this method recorded in "On Balance".

Qin Shou couldn't help but glance at Changsun Chong.

Okay, there's still some goods in the stomach of the "brother-in-law"!

Qin Shou continued with a smile: "The third fire burning method is at night, burning a bonfire, and the locusts will burn a large number of locusts when they see the light and gather. ”

"The fourth method of cutting off children and grandchildren is to destroy the larvae, the locust multiplies very quickly, and it can grow up in two months, so look for the eggs of the locust, and then dig out the larvae and eggs, and boil them to death with fire or water,"

"The fifth, biological locust extermination method, uses the natural enemies of locusts, chickens, ducks, and geese to eliminate locusts......"

"Sixth, the method of food locust extermination......"

Li Shimin and Changsun Chong's eyes were hot, their eyes were straight, and they listened extremely seriously.

Qin Shou said with a smile: "Actually, I don't think the first four methods are good, not as good as the last two, the biological locust extermination method and the food locust extermination method."

"The best meaning is Chapter 6, the method of food locust extermination."

"Locusts are pests, but they are good things!"

"Good stuff?" Li Shimin and Changsun Chong couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

How can pests be a good thing?

"Locusts are full of nutrients! It is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, insect hormones and other active substances, and contains vitamins A, B, C and trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese...... Forget it, I told you this, you don't understand! ”

Qin Shou's mouth was bald, and he found that his speech was a bit out of line after drinking, so he hurriedly braked.

"Anyway, you just need to know that locusts are a delicacy, and they can also help to eliminate food, and also have healing effects, such as relieving wind and spasms, relieving cough and asthma, channeling, rapid and slow convulsions, convulsions and spasms, and so on

There is also a better memory that can make people, especially the elderly and children, after eating, the memory is super good! ”

Well?

Li Shimin's jaw almost fell off when he heard this.

The eldest grandson's eyes were as wide as cow eggs, and his throat was dry.

"Really?"

"Are locusts so good?"

Is this possible?

But what Qin Shou said had a nose and eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help but doubt again: "You kid, just talk nonsense, how can locusts be so good?" ”

"Father-in-law, can't you pay me back? What did the food you eat at my place taste during this time? ”

"That's definitely not what I said!"

"But I promise you, the taste of locusts is the best in the world!"

“......”

Looking at the sworn appearance before and after, the doubts on Li Er's face suddenly froze.

What Qin Shou didn't notice was that Li Er's body was trembling slightly.

"Oh, and ......"

Qin Shou suddenly remembered, "It's best to leave the captured locusts for a while before eating, because the swarms of locusts will release a small amount of toxin, and after they are scattered for a period of time, the color of their bodies will change and they can be eaten, and they will be eaten when they are cooked!" ”

Next, the topic is relaxed, but before the wine is finished, Li Shimin is leaving.

He's in a hurry!

But when Qin Shou saw it, he hurriedly grabbed him: "Father-in-law, what are you panicking about, let's talk about it...... When will you give us that money? ”

"Shou'er, don't worry, I'll have someone send you the money when I go back."

When Li Shimin came, his body was as heavy as lead, but when he walked, he was light, and his whole body felt a lot lighter, and he walked with the wind.

.......

Eldest Sun Chong didn't stay long, just a few steps out of Princess Gaoyang's mansion, he felt that his legs were on others.

Qin Shou sent him out of the house, and he was still dizzy.

"This is called perfume, take it back to my sister, a small drop is enough when you use it, and you must bring your sister to sit at home when you are free tomorrow."

"Hmmm......"

Even Qin Shou handed him a box of gifts, but he almost didn't catch it and fell to the ground

It wasn't until I came out of Princess Gaoyang's Mansion and walked halfway up the road that I eased up

"Whew~"

It's like a dream, and when I see it today, it's really demonic!

looked at the things in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but open it and smell it,

Well..... The whole person was crispy.

Nima!

What the hell is this?

No wonder Gao Yang girl...... No, this thing can't be brought back to Changle, in case Changle likes it, then pay it back? To whom?

Otherwise, he turned around and walked towards the place......

......

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, the streets and alleys are like flowers.

When the people woke up, they found that the streets were covered with some small rough paper.

This could not help but amaze the people.

This year, except for the government to paste this thing on the wall, everyone rushed to watch for a while.

Those who know how to read look up in front, and those who don't know how to read and ask others in the back: "What is written on it?" ”

"Advertise widely, pest list ....."

"Pests, what are pests?"

"Pests are insects that harm people, just like mosquitoes and flies."

"Yo-he....... It says that locusts are pests. ”

"Didn't the government say that locusts were divine insects? How did you become a pest again? ”

"Divine insects, you are a ghost, are locusts still shallow?"

"That is, the locusts have passed, and the family is ruined and the people are destroyed......"

"His grandmother's, I'll just say, I don't know how the officials and masters of the court have their brains, the books have been read in the dog's stomach, this pest can still be called a god worm?"

"It also said that the locusts are coming, and you want us to unite to kill the locusts? What do you guys say? ”

"Extermination, the locusts don't give us a way to live, how can we still watch them eat?"

“......”

It's the opposite

Three provinces and six departments, when the people from the major yamen got up in the morning, their faces turned green when they saw this scene.

This kind of note can be seen everywhere, and even a lot of it has been pasted on the doors of the major yamen.

His Majesty, who had just been in the court, had a vigorous admonition to reflect on himself, and issued an edict to inform the world, and now such a thing has emerged

Locusts are the same as mosquitoes and flies?

Became a pest?

This is not only a slap in the face, but also a slap in the face of a Confucian protégé.

Suddenly, the mouths of all the officials of the yamen were crooked.

"Who the hell did that?"

"Investigate, investigate, and punish this thief severely!"
