Li Longji talked about the situation around Zhuangzi like a joke at night.

Li Dan, Doulu Guifei, Li Chengqi and several other princes also listened to it as a joke.

The other four princes have never seen Li Yi's face, but they have helped and taken many benefits.

They wanted to go, but they were afraid of revealing their identities, so they could only learn about Li Yi from others.

Anyway, I think that young man has great ability, otherwise how would he eat melons and watermelons in winter?

In the past, there were some vegetables in the hot springs, but there was never watermelon.

After last fall, the watermelons can be preserved, soaked in salted water, and then moved into the cellar.

When this batch of watermelons was almost eaten, the watermelons in the greenhouse came out.

In addition to supplying it to heaven and earth, the Li family Zhuangzi has never sold a single one, they all ate it themselves, and then put the watermelon skin to make watermelon cream.

Seeing that the money in hand is not earned, who can do it in general?

Two days ago, in the imperial examination, Li Zhuangzi produced forty-two people, and forty-two people squeezed to the front of the first class.

In the future, I will ask if there is anything I need help with, and then I will continue to reap the benefits.

Everyone in the Baifu Hall was happily eating and drinking, and they looked happy.

In the political hall, Yao Chong didn't leave, and he stayed tonight.

He was studying the articles written by 42 students on drought and locust plagues.

In the drought, it is said that where there is a lot of bamboo, let the bamboo pipe be connected, and then the water will be diverted directly to the bamboo pipe.

You don't have to have a whole bamboo, split it, knock it off, and then drill a small hole next to it, which is more water-efficient.

The premise is that the terrain should be high on one side and low on the other, otherwise the water will not flow through.

Needless to say, King Song's team dispersed, sending many small teams to teach how to drill wells over there, and by the way, pull into the alliance.

In the spring, the stubble is not bad, the wheat is almost gone, and the drought can be carried over.

The key lies in the autumn stubble, when the drought intensifies, and water can only be diverted for irrigation, and the more drought there are, the more locusts there are.

If there is a big drought and locusts, it will be the most serious next year, because there is not enough water upstream, and many locusts lay eggs.

Yes, locusts lay eggs, Li Yi said there, locusts are not given by God, they are like chickens laying eggs, getting cubs into the soil.

The method of killing locusts and burying them is not good, and it is said that some locusts are about to 'lay eggs', that is, they are laying eggs.

If caught alive and buried in the soil, the locusts will lay eggs at the last minute.

The best thing to do is to have a place where there is water, float a small boat in the middle of the water, light a lot of lanterns on the boat, and at night the locusts will fly over and fall into the water and drown.

When there is no water, they set up a lot of fires on the ground, and use nets around them, or simply wait for the locusts to rush in and burn them to death.

Chickens and ducks are effective during the day, especially in the grain fields.

The leaves of the grain are not tasty, and chickens and ducks do not like to eat them, preferring to eat meat.

In the vegetable field, if there are no specially raised chickens and ducks, it is likely that there will be locusts and vegetables.

In order to cope with this situation, Li Zhuangzi raised maggots for a long time to feed chickens and ducks.

As long as the same flock of chickens and ducks hatches, they are taught by the big chickens and ducks, and the small ones will also stare at the insects to eat.

The other is the smoking method, the best smoke is the smoke from the artemisia, and when it is smoked, the locusts fall one after another.

Yao Chong looked at them one by one, and he knew that this belonged to the category of technology.

If the student dares to write it, it must be because of Li Yi's teaching.

In the examination paper, when various methods are stated, it is emphasized that the locust plague is not terrible, but what is terrible is the human heart, the fear of people.

If there are locusts, what can be done if you don't kill them?

"Therefore, when the world is not fearful, ghosts and gods must have their benefits. The people see profit, but they have no morality and no respect for ghosts and gods, let alone locusts.

That the people may see the benefits, and whoever kills locusts may have money, and the people may go against the sky.

People die for money, and birds die for food. Today, we are going the other way, seeking the people for profit, and the people are fighting hard to catch locusts, which is the best plan.

If it increases by ten dollars a day, the people are willing to go, and if it increases by a hundred dollars a day, they will do it regardless of the old and the young. ”

Yao Chong read out a current policy.

It means that the people are afraid of locusts, but if you let the people know that they can make money by catching locusts, whatever God thinks, do it.

If you can earn ten cents a day catching locusts, many people are willing to do it.

If you can earn a hundred Wen, everyone will go crazy if you go into battle together.

"Wow, Li Yi, you are really not ordinary." Yao Chong rubbed his hands together and praised Li Yi.

Let's move on to the next one.

The next article is also a locust control strategy.

The idea is different.

"Some people want to use the disaster from heaven as an excuse to push it on the grounds of locust plague and drought in the past and present lives, don't you hear that on the night of the first year, the flowers bloom on the shore of the Sansheng Stone and on the other side...... This is a propaganda offensive. ”

This Zhuangzi student said to use a propaganda offensive to deal with it.

The people were afraid of natural disasters and said that they were punished from heaven.

Then the program on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will be taken out and used, telling the people that in the past life, in this life, and in the next life, if you don't kill locusts now, you will suffer in this life, and it will be difficult to gather in the next life.

Superstition to superstition, to see who is awesome, something happens in heaven is now, isn't this life and the next life more serious than what is in front of you?

Yao Chong looked at it and got goosebumps.

He recalled, when did Li Yi start raising chickens and ducks? So many quantities, just don't kill and sell, raise.

It was only later that he said that he could sell chick seedlings and duck seedlings.

Then the piglets were left to give birth at the beginning of spring.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he assisted the queen and queen, and by the way, buried the reasons why men and women died.

It's deliberate.

How much did he do in advance to deal with the locust plague?

Including knowing from His Majesty that he would make a change egg, and then the Shu merchants compromised him, he would ask for a lot of salt.

"The old man is actually afraid, afraid that his mind will be on dealing with the old man, alas!"

Yao Chong shuddered for a moment and muttered to himself.

He panicked, that young man, for one thing, spent a year laying out, and it was only now that it was revealed.

Good patience and kindness.

And he must have a lot of skills, does he continue to have any plans?

The kiln in Wugong County was temporarily out of the way, pitting the people, and he released a new glaze a few days later.

In other words, when there is an emergency, he Li Yi reacts quickly and shows no mercy.

If he is not in a hurry, he will take his time, and in this process, you force it all at once, and he promises to deal with it immediately, or so fast.

Like a war, there is nothing lacking in strategy and tactics.

If you don't make a move, he forces him little by little, and when you suddenly make a move, he reacts instantly and doesn't give you the slightest chance.

Yao Chong took a deep breath, then went to get the oxygen bag and put it on his nose.

"This son's plan is far-reaching, and the response is swift, it is very accessible, be careful, be careful, be careful."

Yao Chong said to himself, meaning, don't always think about pressing the other party.

Maybe the other party is laying out now, and when the young man is busy with the drought and locust plague, what will he do next? It can't be against yourself, right?

Yao Chong thought about it, he scared himself, he didn't know at all, Li Yi hadn't taken him seriously.

To give him benefits through heaven and earth is to stabilize him.

Don't make trouble, be busy, your son knows all those things, but he just doesn't want to make a move.
