In the study, the atmosphere was very depressing.

Li's father and mother have now believed in the prophecy of their son, but even if this kind of thing is known in advance, what can it do, at most, they can hoard a batch of food in advance to ensure that their family will not starve to death by then.

But there will still be millions of people out there starving to death because of the lack of food. Although Li's father and mother are not good people in the ninth world, they know that many people will starve to death in the future, but they can't do anything, and both of them are extremely sad in their hearts.

Li Zexuan was worried before, if his father knew about the locust plague, would he think of hoarding grain in advance, and then raise the price of grain and make a fortune from natural disasters. But now seeing his father's sad face, Li Zexuan knew that he was thinking too much, and secretly said that he was a villain.

However, knowing that Daddy is not that kind of philistine villain, Li Zexuan was still a little relieved in his heart, he walked up to Daddy and said firmly:

"Dad, if we don't try, how can we know that we can't fight against the sky? Master said before his death that people think that people can't fight the sky, but they don't know that it is just an excuse for the weak to make for their own failures, as long as we try our best and go all out, then people can also win the sky! ”

When Li Jingmo heard his son's words, he was also a little enthusiastic for a while, looked up at his son and asked:

"Xuan'er, have you thought of any good way?"

Li Zexuan sat back on the stool, took a sip of tea, nodded, and replied:

"Since the child came back from Longhu Mountain, he has been thinking about a solution, and in those days, when he thought that in a year, all parts of Datang would be hungry for thousands of miles, and the child was worried that he couldn't eat or sleep......

"Ahem! Don't talk nonsense, get to the point! Li Jingmo hurriedly interrupted.

In my heart, you kid still has the face to say that he can't eat, he can't sleep, he eats every day, and he gets a gnawing chicken out, and he doesn't sleep until three poles in the morning before getting up!

Mrs. Li was also amused by her son's stinky and shameless words, and she found that her son's skin was really getting thicker and thicker, but it was okay to be thick-skinned, it was not easy to suffer if he was thick-skinned, anyway, in Mrs. Li's eyes, her son was good.

Seeing that his father's and mother's expressions were not as depressed as before, Li Zexuan knew that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped playing treasure and continued seriously:

"The child accidentally thought of a method today, which can eliminate the locusts to a large extent, and at least ensure that the grain of our Zhuangzi will not be harmed by the time!"

Li Zexuan had a plan after seeing that a grasshopper brought by Tie Dan was snatched away by a rooster today.

In this era when there are no chemical pesticides, Li Zexuan can only think of using biological control methods to deal with locusts. The overwhelming number of locusts is obviously not possible to catch them by hand alone, and they can only raise a large number of animals that can prey on locusts.

Don't underestimate the power of biological control, Li Zexuan has seen a technical post in his previous life, according to statistics, a black spotted frog can prey on more than 135 locusts (larvae of locusts) every day, Ze frog can prey on more than 120 locusts a day, toads can prey on more than 160 locusts a day, and an adult bird can eat 167 adult locusts a day.

Imagine if tens of millions of white birds can be introduced at this moment, then after the locust plague breaks out next year, these tens of millions of birds alone will be able to eat all the locusts in Datang overnight.

But because birds and frogs are not easy to raise on a large scale, Li Zexuan thought of building a large-scale chicken farm and mobilizing all the strength of Hanjiazhuang to raise as much as he could.

Li Jingmo has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he has never heard of any way to deal with the locust plague, so he was curious: "Xuan'er, what method have you thought of?" ”

Li Zexuan didn't answer, but asked: "Dad, if there is a way to control locusts that can ensure that the harvest of the whole Zhuangzi of Hanjiazhuang will not be lost when the locust plague comes, but it requires our family to pay a lot of money, are you willing?" ”

Li Jingmo glared at him when he heard this, and said angrily: "You stinky boy thinks of your father as someone, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if there is a way, how can your father and I not save you?" ”

Mrs. Li also agreed: "Xuan'er, if you have any way, just say it directly, your mother and your father will fully support you." The money is gone, and your father can earn it again, but seeing so many people starving to death, I'm afraid my mother won't be at ease for the rest of my life! ”

Li Zexuan was also moved by his mother's sincere kindness, nodded, and continued:

"Dad, the child's solution is very simple, that is, our family is responsible for providing chicken seedlings to the Hanjiazhuang households, and let all the villagers help us raise chickens, depending on the number of chickens raised by each household, and give them a reduction of one to three percent of the rent.

When the locusts come next year and the chickens grow, we can let the farmers drive the chickens into the field and let the chickens eat them all.

This not only can protect the crops, but also the chickens grow faster, and when the locust plague passes, we can sell these chickens, or directly supply them to the Zuixian Building, so that we will not lose money, but also help the farmers. ”

Li Jingmo listened to his son's strategy, Li summed it up in his heart, and when his son finished speaking, he found that what his son said was the truth, and all aspects of the problem were taken into account, and he couldn't help but be very pleased, but he still had a question in his heart, so he asked:

"Xuan'er, your idea is quite thoughtful, it may not be feasible, but with these chickens alone, can you really eat all the locusts in Hanjiazhuang?"

Li Zexuan smiled confidently:

"Dad, don't underestimate the ability of chickens, the child once read a book, which said that an adult chicken can eat more than 300 locusts a day, and the child estimates that twenty chickens can almost ensure that there are no locusts in an acre of land. As long as the plan goes smoothly, we can fight for our lives!

Moreover, the chickens fed with locusts grow quickly and the meat is extremely delicious. After the locust plague is over, if we supply these chickens to the Zuixian Building, we can completely increase the price. ”

Although Li Jingmo didn't know which book would record such a boring thing, he nodded thoughtfully when he saw what his son said.

At this time, Mrs. Li asked again: "Xuan'er, what if you drive the chickens into the field and they eat the crops?" ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Mother, there are so many locusts in the ground, chickens must not have the appetite to eat crops!" ”

Mrs. Li suddenly realized.

Li Zexuan saw that the two elders were almost persuaded by himself, so he asked his father:

"Dad, how much money can our family spare at this stage?"

Li Jingmo thought for a while and said, "If you give your father three days, your father will probably be able to free up 300,000 yuan for you!" ”

Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard this, he knew that his father was very rich, but he didn't expect that he would be so rich, and he would be able to free up 300,000 yuan of liquidity in only three days.

At present, the annual financial income of the entire Datang is only about 20 million yuan.

Moreover, these 300,000 yuan are only part of the liquid assets, plus those immovable assets, Li Zexuan can hardly imagine how rich his family is.

Li Jingmo couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw his son swallowing saliva in shock, and finally regained a little bit of his status in the family.

Li Zexuan was stunned for a long time before he said:

"Dad, then let's take out 150,000 yuan, you ask someone to purchase grain, you can stock up as much as you can, and only when there is more grain will we have confidence. Another 150,000 yuan, the child took part of it to purchase chicken seedlings for Hanjiazhuang, build a chicken coop, and the remaining part was kept for emergencies, what do you think, Dad? ”

With a solution, and more importantly, with the support of his father's strong economic strength, Li Zexuan was highly motivated at the moment, and secretly rejoiced that he was reborn in a rich second generation, otherwise even if he had a way to control the locusts, he could only make a small fuss, but now it is completely different, if the plan goes smoothly, Li Zexuan can completely save the people in a large area.

Li Jingmo touched his beard and said, "Okay, just do it according to Xuan'er's plan." However, today's events must not be spread out, otherwise our family will be in a catastrophe. ”

Li Zexuan knew that the matter was important, and nodded: "Dad, don't worry, the child knows the severity." After a few days, Tie Dan's injuries were healed, and the child went to Hanjiazhuang with them by the way, and found Han Li to discuss this matter. The sooner this plan is implemented, the better! ”

Li Jingmo nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Li smiled meaningfully at this moment and said, "Xuan'er, you are not too young, it's time to think about lifelong events, my mother thinks that Miss Han is not bad." ”

Li Jingmo's face was full of question marks, and he didn't know what was going on.

Li Zexuan was blushing and embarrassed, so he hurriedly fled.

Mrs. Li shook her head and smiled, "This kid..."
