Chapter 267: I want to laugh, but I can't

"Well, it looks like everyone's doing a good job."

On this day, Zhu Youxiao inspected Tongzhou from the capital, and what he saw along the way, he didn't find anything inappropriate, and nodded with satisfaction, "I finally didn't take my words as the wind in my ears." ”

It seems that the Government Council led by Yan Yingyuan is still extremely capable of handling affairs, and even some minor things have been arranged.

And around three o'clock in the afternoon, the huge locust plague in the northeast and Shandong has already broken out!

The emergency reports from all over the country said that the locust plague in various places was simply overwhelming, and even the sky was almost completely obscured everywhere they passed! The sun can't even get through the ground!

One can imagine how shocked the people who saw that scene at the scene would be in their hearts.

It is now more than half of the Shen time, but Zhu Youxiao has not received the latest information, and he doesn't know how the current pest control plan is going in those two places.

The best time to get rid of locusts is at night.

During the day, people only use large nets to hunt locusts, and with the help of a large number of chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in various large farms, to hunt those massive locusts.

But in the evening, it was the destruction of the locusts.

During the locust plague, it is not too easy to light a huge bonfire in the middle of the big farm, and take advantage of the strong phototaxis of the locusts to kill those locusts.

However, it will not be all the locusts, they will all come to the big farms on the big official roads, and at most only about half.

The remaining half will sweep through all the greenery they can eat, all the way to the end of the sky.

In the past, they had eaten one place and moved on to another place to eat, until their life cycle arrived, and then they would die in large numbers after laying a large number of eggs.

If there were a few snowstorms in the winter of that year, even most of the eggs would be frozen to death.

Thanks to locusts, they don't live long and have a short life cycle.

Otherwise, with their terrifying reproductive ability, they would have dominated the earth long ago, and most of the green plants on the earth would have been scourged.

"Xiao Xuanzi, Xiao Guizi, pass the order, and we will stay in this big farm in front of us for a while until the locust plague has passed, and then return to the capital."

Zhu Youxiao was always a little uneasy, he knew that he had to fight on the front line of the locust eradication, so that he could give confidence and pressure to all the people in the empire, so that everyone could strengthen their faith and go all out to kill those locusts that were overwhelming.

"Yes!" ……

The two hurriedly received the order and immediately began to make intensive arrangements.

The large farm in front of it is located in the middle of the capital and Tongzhou, not far from the Datong River, and now it seems that the surrounding environment is extremely beautiful, with birds singing and flowers, and so on.

With His Majesty the Emperor bringing people in, the people in this big farm were very excited, and after admiring Tianyan, the various tasks in their hands were carried out more and more quickly and orderly.

It wasn't until night fell that everyone dispersed to go home to wash and eat.

The first huge light source in the big farm is a large pond with a size of about 500 acres on the west side of the big farm.

In this large pond, there are a lot of various fish, some of which are like a natural lake, under the light of the big lighthouse, sparkling, and from time to time naughty groups of fish emerge from the water, black and pressed, one by one.

This kind of beauty was never seen before, even for thousands of years.

Because of the urgency of the current situation, more than 1,000 people in the big farm and 2,000 soldiers of the intelligence bureau were divided into two groups and took turns to monitor the sky and the four directions, so that everyone would not be kept in the dark when the locust plague came.

If that happens, it's going to be terrible.

Now that most of the day has passed, the army of locusts that has been raging in some places that morning, and the vanguard will come to all places at any time, bringing unparalleled calamity.

Zhu Youxiao was in a house, and after eating dinner and washing, he walked out of the courtyard.

Accompanied by Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Guizi, Zhu Youxiao first came to the edge of the big pond.

"Sure enough!"

Looking at the various flying insects that kept circling around the huge lighthouse, Zhu Youxiao was extremely happy.

This proves that he is doing the right thing.

As the night deepened, more and more flying insects of all kinds were attracted by the bright lights, and gradually almost even the lights were shrouded.

After a while, there were a lot of flying insects, and after they were exhausted from flying, they fell into the pond below the big lighthouse.

They just struggled in different postures for a while, and then they died one after another, and it didn't take long for a thick layer to be spread on the surface of this water.

At this moment, schools of fish appeared, all of them omnivorous, opening their mouths and devouring the almost endless delicacy with great joy.

Some of the fish are still rolling in the water, and on the surface of the water, small waves appear, and circles of ripples continue to spread towards the distant water surface.

From ancient times to the present, these various flying insects have not been actively killed by human beings, and all of a sudden, they ushered in a catastrophe. 52 Literature

With the passage of time, more and more flying insects of all kinds surged, and then fell to the surface of the water one after another, being devoured by groups of fish, reciprocating, with a different kind of beauty.

It is conceivable that from now on, with this insecticidal method of a large number of large farms, the number of various flying insects in the Ming Empire will decrease sharply day by day.

The crops of each large farm will be less plagued by various insects, and a bumper harvest will be obtained every year, which is just around the corner.

"Huh."

Zhu Youxiao's heart was furious when he watched from the shore, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

After all, this is his masterpiece, the first time since the beginning of the world, and now it is normal to see such a remarkable effect of killing insects.

With a big stone in his heart, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that even his spirit was much lighter, as if his spirit had been wiped off some dust.

Suddenly, there seemed to be an invisible aura, enveloping itself in it, feeling like a fluttering fairy and flying coolly.

Luck!

See luck again!

Moreover, there is a lot of luck value obtained this time!

Zhu Youxiao checked it, and there were dozens of points!

He also couldn't imagine that he had come up with a very primitive but quite effective insecticidal method, which was actually comparable to the luck value obtained from recovering and controlling several capitals.

However, when you think about it, it's normal.

This exterminated a large number of various flying insects, and I don't know how much food and other food were added to the Ming Empire every year, and how many people could be fed.

From now on, the output of various crops in the territory of the Ming Empire will definitely increase significantly.

Therefore, it is understandable to obtain so much Qi Luck Value.

After a while, some Zhu Youxiao, who had had enough of staying by the big pond, walked slowly to the center of the big farm.

This kind of large square starting from 100 acres has at least one of every large farm in the Ming Empire, and it is very distinctively built.

The floor of the main square is also paved with green bricks and triple soil.

Those skilled craftsmen instructed the people to spread the ground very evenly, and there were basically no unevenness.

In the middle of the main square, there is a small garden full of flowers and flowers, and there are some stone tables and stone benches, which are arranged in a staggered manner.

Around the main square, there are many different varieties of fruit trees, which are full of greenery.

In this season, fruits of various colors and sizes hang on the trees, which is very chic.

In the open spaces above the current large square, on top of a thick layer of earth, there are several huge bonfires that have not yet been lit.

Not far from the campfire, there are piles of wood and haystacks, which are added to the campfire to keep it intact.

Obviously, the preparations for the bonfires were already being made, and they were waiting for the first wave of the locust vanguard army to come and set fire to several huge bonfires.

More than 1,000 people and 2,000 soldiers are now resting in batches, and those soldiers and people on duty are holding large nets in their hands, ready to hunt and kill locusts at any time.

There are even some women, sitting near the gate of the chicken, duck and goose breeding ground in the distance, they are chatting non-stop, and they are ready to release the chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the breeding area to hunt after the locust plague arrives.

All the preparations have been made, just waiting for the arrival of the locust plague that was overwhelming before.

Zhu Youxiao, Xiao Xuanzi, Xiao Guizi and others did not do anything special, but just came to the edge of a big stone table, sat down, and began to wait quietly.

Because it was the first time that everyone really faced the locust plague, the soldiers and the people were a little nervous, and no one spoke.

In the main square, there are only some naughty children, holding large nets in their hands, chasing each other.

However, there are also many children who play too much, and they are caught by their fathers and mothers one after another, pressing one hand on their knees, and they are spanking in a "snap"!

When Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Unconsciously, there seemed to be a bright light flickering in his eyes.

In his previous life, his parents both died of illness when he graduated from high school.

It took almost all the money in the family to bury the two elders.

Then, alone, he struggled to survive in that materialistic world with no lower limit to life, until one day, he was lucky and was able to cross and be reborn.

The joy of family in front of him can be imagined.
