Li Yi is in a hurry, and he wants to go to Lantian County to see the situation and find a way to deal with it when he turns around.

The people of Luoyang are thanking Li Yi, and no one says that he is a loser.

When the wheat was harvested, the sheaves of wheat were brought down with the wheat harvesting artifact, and more locusts were jumping in the buried ground.

The people finally knew what it was, the plague of locusts.

There are a lot of locusts, and a lot of them have been caught, and if they don't be caught, more will pop up in a few days.

And there was a rich fool who came early in the morning with chickens, ducks and pigs and exchanged eggs for grasshoppers.

Everyone saw that chickens and ducks eat grasshoppers and lay more eggs, and pigs eat locusts and grow faster.

Then everyone went to change eggs, changed chickens and ducks a few days ago, and learned artificial incubation.

It was only when the wheat was cut that the ground below and the dense locusts were revealed that they understood how dangerous it was.

What if we didn't change a lot of poultry and know how to catch locusts?

Right now......

Now there are a large number of chickens and ducks running in the fields around Luoyang City, and the farmers have released the chickens and ducks.

The men in the front are harvesting the wheat, and the chickens and ducks in the back are fluttering their wings and pecking high and low to eat the locusts.

As long as the locusts fly low, they are guaranteed to be taken down by the chickens.

The duck stretches its neck, lowers its head, flattens its beak, flapps its wings, and runs high and low in the field on both legs, meeting one and eating the other.

One head hit the man's leg, ignored it, and continued to catch locusts.

Some of the chickens and ducklings that had not been replaced followed behind, and after running two steps, they fell on their heels, rolled over, and cooperated with each other to eat a locust.

The locusts are too big for the chickens, and one can't eat them, so a few rush up, take them in their mouths, and tear them back.

"Don't step on the chickens and ducklings, they'll grow up." The man hired by the farmer to herd the chickens and ducks followed him with a net bag, shouting for attention.

The two Bigou brothers stood on the edge of the field, indifferent to the grasshoppers falling on them.

A yellow-haired chick ran over, looked up at a locust on Bi Go's body, and chirped anxiously.

Bi Gou took a look, grabbed the locust and threw it to the ground, and the chick rushed up, unable to swallow it, and wanted to crush it without listening.

Another chicken ran next to it, looked at it and took it together, and after a few clicks, the locust was broken, and the two chickens ate it, and turned around to look for it again.

"Brother, it's obviously a plague of locusts, why does my brother see the joyful atmosphere when he looks at the people here?"

Bi Xu looked at the people grinning, avoiding the little yellow-haired chicken and yellow-haired duck, and always felt very disobedient.

Still looking at the scene of labor, Bi Gou said, "They saw hope, and when they found out that the locusts could be used to feed poultry and livestock, they thought about how to catch more locusts.

The common people will also calculate the incubation period of chickens and ducks, knowing that a batch of chicks will be produced every two decades, and a batch of ducklings will be produced every month.

Ducks eat locusts much more than chickens, and now it's harvesting, and when the harvest is over, a lot of locusts are in the ground.

Lured by fire at night and caught during the day, there are more than 70,000 chickens and ducks of all sizes eating.

Chickens and ducks are rectums according to folk sayings, and when they are eaten and pulled, the fertilizer falls to the ground. ”

As Bi Gou spoke, a smiling young figure appeared in his mind.

When he first came, he was scolded as a fool, and now the people who scold him hate the boy who kowtows to him in front of him.

Before greeting one, the people ran away, leaving only a hundred households to operate.

Bi Xu was still in a trance, everything happened too fast, less than a month.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a chicken laying an egg, and immediately a child ran over with a basket.

The basket was covered with wheat stalks, and the child carefully picked up the eggs, put them in the basket, and did not dare to run again, but walked to the side step by step.

There are already a lot of large baskets next to it, which are also covered with wheat stalks, and eggs and duck eggs are packed inside.

The hired people helped to watch and count, made up ten eggs, and gave the children a small bamboo sign.

Bi Xu knew that he could use this brand to get a chicken or duckling.

The locusts are flying, the wheat is harvesting, and the children are looking for it, and it seems so harmonious.

"What kind of person is Li Yi?" Bi Xu thought hard, and found that he couldn't think of it, and he couldn't give Li Yi the same body as someone else.

Li Yi seems to be different from anyone else, I heard my brother say that he was sent by His Majesty.

"After my brother enters Chang'an, I will investigate, and I will say okay, give me ceramic teeth with three gold cores, and also say that I will build a separate courtyard for me in Zhuangzi."

Bi Gou said it with a smile, he believed that Li Yi was not talking about playing.

"These chickens and ducks, they still want to bring them back?" Bi Xu didn't think much about the affairs of Chang'an, and began to think about transportation.

"Since he has taught the method of artificial incubation, he is naturally more proficient, how can he Zhuangzi toss back and forth, he must be sold.

Coupled with the toilet water, soap and other things sold a few days ago, he made a trip, not only did he not lose money, but he made several times as much. ”

Bi calculated the ratio of locusts to cubs, as well as the approximate number of eggs laid and hatched.

Came to a conclusion that chickens, ducks and pigs, these that Li Yi had brought over, would get back four to five times the money after selling them in the end.

Officials will say that he is good, and the dealer has been trying to find a way to give benefits to officials.

The people said that he was good, and the people had more chickens and ducks to raise, and they also learned the techniques of hatching and feeding poultry and pigs with grasshoppers to grow quickly.

In the midst of the praise, his dealer will return with a full load.

Compared with Bi Gou, the people are much simpler than they consider the overall situation, and they only know that the grasshoppers they prick casually can be exchanged for eggs, duck eggs, and chickens and ducklings.

Grasshoppers are available everywhere in their eyes, they are worthless, and chickens and ducks are good things.

As long as the grasshoppers do not eat the wheat, they will start catching them in large quantities after the harvest.

At the same time, they found an interesting thing: when the harvest was in the past, there were always birds and finches coming to eat the wheat, but now all the birds and finches have run to eat the locusts.

So in a harmonious place, the wheat was harvested, and soon someone brought the threshing equipment and knocked down the wheat grains.

At this time, there is no need to rush to dehull, and the preservation of wheat or rice can be kept for a longer time if there is an outer husk.

Flour and rice have a short shelf life and can produce insects.

The stalks that have been beaten down are used to make fires, but now they are left to see if they are composted, or if they are mixed in the autumn to make green storage and feed them to the livestock.

Even if they knew that they could burn it in the fields and use it to fertilize the fields, they would not do it.

Because of the composting technology, the compost is stronger than burning it directly.

Bi Gou left with his hands behind his back in the flying locusts, there was nothing to see, there would be no problems with the grain in Henan Mansion this year.

And in the future, the people will not be afraid of locusts, and they have found ways to deal with them, including how to convince themselves to catch locusts.

What Tianwei and the locust gods, in front of the eggs and duck eggs, all stood aside.

"Brother, will you still collect this year's summer rent?" Bi Xu thought of another question.

"If other locust plague places are collected, Henan Mansion will collect it, and if others don't collect it, why should Henan Mansion collect it?" Bi Gou gives the answer.
