Chapter 36: The Army of Chickens and Ducks

"Quack"

"Quack"

I saw a group of old farmers driving an army of chickens and ducks out of the field

Not to mention the onlookers, even the soldiers and civilians who were pulling nets to hunt and kill locusts were stunned.

What's that?

That's right!

How do you find so many chickens and ducks?

The faces of those onlookers were even more surprised, and many people shook their heads again and again.

Although I heard that chickens and ducks are omnivorous and eat locusts, who would expect this thing to exterminate locusts?

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng frowned, and they invariably aimed their eyes at the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know either.

But turning his head, after a while, he found an opportunity to get close to Li Shimin, and asked softly in Li Shimin's ear: "Your Majesty, this method is also said by Qin Shou?" ”

"That's right!" Li Shimin nodded.

Regarding this point, he also felt unreliable at the time, so he asked Qin Shou specifically, but Qin Shou insisted that this method had a miraculous effect, so he made this preparation.

Now the use of nets to kill has greatly boosted his confidence, and his eyes are full of anticrisy to see what kind of miracle this so-called biological locust extermination method has.

"Why do you feel that there are more ducks and fewer chickens in it?"

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the army of chickens and ducks, and found that there were more ducks and fewer chickens inside, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Because Qin Shou said that ducks eat more locusts than chickens in one meal."

"......" the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless.

And so it is!

A duck can eat hundreds of locusts a day, and ducks are especially fond of eating locust larvae, which can eat thousands of larvae in one meal, which is just appetizing.

The duck is also particularly able to eat, before dawn in the morning, start to eat breakfast, can eat until more than nine o'clock, and do not have to manage, the duck itself will be divided into multiple columns to set off, after eating and drinking, and then line up to go back.

For the people, they don't need to be fed with food, they still eat meat, and there is also the righteousness of exterminating locusts, of course they are willing.

It's just that at this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have such a big family to feed ducks in later generations, so if there were not so many ducks, they could only let the chickens and ducks all go out.

However, there are quite a few such ducks, and there are not a few farmers around Chang'an, and there are more than 100 ducks.

At this time, the army of chickens and ducks has already begun to have fun.

When the army of chickens and ducks rushed into the locusts, the entire locust extermination site seemed to be cut apart.

In the eyes of everyone, tens of thousands of chickens and ducks are on the grass and ridges...... It's like a carpet attack, it's completely a duck sea attack, and the locusts simply can't withstand the large range of such a large army group, multiple frontal assaults, plus flank outflanking.

People are stupid.

Fang Xuanling was also frozen in place at this time, and muttered in his mouth: "But hundreds of ducks have entered the rice furrow, and the locusts are ...... in an instant."

The eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng were not much better, and Fang Xuanling could still sigh, their mouths were wide open, and their jaws were about to fall.

Shock!

Everyone was stunned!

People's expressions are frozen!

There is only one term that flashes through their minds—devastating.

It's really shocking!

The army of chickens and ducks opened and conquered the entire locust extermination site.

The expressions of everyone at the scene were so incredulous, and their eyes were blank, as if they had lost the ability to think.

This....... Aren't they just chickens and ducks running all over the ground, how can they be so brutal in the face of locusts?

Watching chickens and ducks swallow locusts all the time, many people even have goosebumps on their bodies, which is unbelievable.

"Oh my God, this is amazing!"

"It's too strong, it's just harvesting, it's not an enemy at all!"

"I took it, I regret not bringing those dozens of ducks from our family with me......"

"It's so good, do you see it, it's just one bite, it's like plowing, push it directly, it's very clean!"

"It's incredible!"

“......”

Many people couldn't help but exclaim.

"Good, good, good!" Li Shimin was excited, and couldn't help but shout.

The combat effectiveness of the army of chickens and ducks was too strong, and it was like a reassuring pill that made Li Shimin's heart to exterminate locusts stabilize at once.

At the same time, deep down in my heart, I felt a kind of admiration and emotion for Qin Shou.

For the people, for the Tang Dynasty, he has to thank Qin Shou

The officials of the three provinces and the six ministries and those Confucian scholars were also stunned at this time, and they stood there in a daze.

Their minds were all attracted by the army of chickens and ducks.

I can't believe that the method of exterminating locusts has such a miraculous effect, from the first use of nets to kill, and now the army of chickens and ducks.

They stood there dumbfounded, looking at the ground that had been quickly cleared by chickens and ducks, forgetting that their mission was to exhort His Majesty not to exterminate the locusts.

This scene is so harmonious, but also so weird.

All were immersed in it.

When the army of chickens and ducks was moving away in order to compete for the locusts, the whole audience was so quiet.

Quiet as a midnight graveyard.

People seem to be intoxicated!

But they finally woke up, and their faces were as white as earth.

They looked at His Majesty dumbfounded, and their eyes became completely different from before.

Frightened, terrified......

The words of Confucianism that I had kept in my heart before could no longer be said at this time

Facing Li Shimin's gaze, they didn't even know how to face it.

They themselves are in a trance, this is what they call the "divine worm"? The invincible "god worm" of manpower?

Well?

And just before everyone could react, they found that there was another group of people behind them

If there are acquaintances who can recognize it, many of these people are from Princess Gaoyang's Mansion.

This was naturally arranged by Qin Shou, although the person did not arrive, but the father-in-law exterminated the locusts, and he still had to express it to some extent.

I saw that the group of people who came began to burn the fire on the spot, and then began to set up cauldrons and iron plates.......

What are they doing here?

Do you cook with the fire on? It's not time to eat yet!

And what surprised everyone even more was that there were hundreds of horsemen who came over, carrying sacks one by one.

Later, they saw an astonishing scene, the people of the princess's mansion opened the sack, cut off the legs and wings of the grasshopper inside, and then put it in thick salt water to soak it.

Hiss!

What is this for?

At this time, someone suddenly remembered the sixth method in the "Six Methods of Exterminating Locusts".

Food locust extermination method!

Nima!

It can't be real, right?

Is this thing really edible?

Everyone couldn't help but feel numb!

......

ps: (There is a case to be found for ducks to exterminate locusts!) )
