The law of evolution and development of things summarized by our ancestors left such words, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. There are also such as the cathode is yang, the anode is yin, the cyon loses the horse and knows that it is not blessed, and the pole is Tailai, etc.

Perhaps because the land and rights of his believers, the Portuguese, were taken away by the Orientals who did not believe in him, and the God of Heaven was a little unhappy, and when he was unhappy, he wanted to trouble these Orientals, but, unfortunately, this group of Orientals did not seem to be his own followers, and their area seemed to belong to the fat man of Shakyamuni.

But God also has a way of venting his own anger.

Just as the fleet of the expedition to Manraka continued to send good news, bad news also kept coming.

From the wax moon, Guangxi, Qiongzhou and other places are snowing heavily, and the northern part of Guangxi is even covered with snow for several feet. Many people did not even have cotton clothes, and people who froze to death were everywhere.

The snow also affected the Shouhan area, from the Quang Ninh coalfield, to Ha Jing, Lingjiang and other places, the heavy snow continued, forcing Shouhan to have to move the cotton stored in the warehouse out of the pain, and ordered a fast boat to transport it to Quang Ninh, Ha Tinh and other places, and distribute it as much as possible, so as not to freeze to death and frostbite.

However, fortunately, in recent years, with the mining of coal fields, a large number of people have coal stoves in their homes for boiling water and cooking, which has come in handy for new use at this time, heating. Often, the family gathered around the fire, wrapped in a quilt and shivering.

It's easy to wait until the wind stops and the snow stops, and the ice melts and melts, and another disaster comes.

In the spring. Just when people were about to plant rice to lay a good foundation for this year's harvest, they found that the precipitation activities that people hated in winter had disappeared without a trace. It didn't rain for the whole month of February.

In the area north of the Lingjiang River, the old town of Hejing and its surroundings are better, and the most severe drought is the Red River Delta area where the Zheng family was located back then. Although nearly half of the territory was allocated to the Mo family by the Shouhan with a stroke of the pen, there were also tens of thousands of square kilometers of area that were subordinated to the Nanzhong army.

With such a large area not raining, how is it good for people who are still largely dependent on God?

As the drought becomes more and more severe. From Guangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong and other places all the way to the Red River Plain. A group of little lives that people hate are beginning to be born!

As the water level drops due to drought, the soil becomes more solid and the water content decreases, providing the most favorable environment for grasshoppers to lay eggs. And the ground vegetation is sparse. The number of eggs laid has increased significantly. Moreover, the survival rate is ensured, and it can reach 4000~5000 eggs per square meter of soil, and there are 50~80 eggs in each egg mass. That is, there are 200,000~400,000 eggs per square meter. At the same time, because of the drought in spring, most of the water used by the recognition depends on rivers and lakes, and the water surface of the rivers and lakes has shrunk, and the low-lying land is exposed, which also provides more suitable places for grasshoppers to spawn. On the other hand, plants that grow in arid environments have a lower water content, they feed on it, grow faster, and have higher fertility.

Once the number of grasshoppers per unit area exceeds a standard, that is, 25 to 62 per square meter, grasshoppers are no longer grasshoppers, they have a name that makes all mankind discolored, locusts!

Although the entire Nanzhong region is more humid than that of Liangguang Yunnan, and the disaster scene of locusts is not as severe as that of Liangguang Yunnan, the small witches and big witches are all witches, and as soon as the locusts fall together, they will eat up the seedlings that hundreds of thousands of people have worked so hard to plant.

In order to survive, a large number of people in the Liangguang region and the people in Yunnan began to move south, trying to find a way to survive for themselves and their families.

"Since the outbreak of the locust plague in late March, and the spring famine, a large number of refugees have moved southward to enter our southern and central regions by water and land. In the past 40 days until early May, nearly 300,000 refugees from Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and China have entered China's southern and central regions. In addition, about 100,000 people from Yunnan first entered the Mojia area, passing through the Mojia area, either trying to enter the Guangning coalfield to work, or entering the Honghe area to cultivate and cultivate the land. For the past 40 days, almost 10,000 people have entered our jurisdiction every day. ”

As the chief law enforcement officer of the Law Enforcement Division, Bao Zhongchen is very embarrassed by the influx of refugees every day, and when these people come in, they have to find a place to settle down, find a place to eat, and then work hard for three meals a day to be fed and clothed.

However, hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the city in a short period of time, and in addition to breaking the original order of life and work, a large number of public security cases occurred. Especially when hundreds of thousands of hungry refugees poured into the Nanzhong area, it was half a surprise and half jealousy to find that the food here was so abundant. In order to obtain food, it is rare for some people to have bad ideas, and the incidence of theft and robbery and other public security cases has risen rapidly.

"This matter is done by your Law Enforcement Department and the Household Division, as well as the Quang Ninh Mining Bureau, the Iron and Steel Plant, the Coking Plant, the Shixi Iron Mine and other places, first, we must do a good job in the relief of the victims, but I am not a nursing home here, those who want to eat and drink without working will be beaten out with a stick! Second, we must do a good job of screening these people, and don't let lawbreakers and young people get in. If you want to bring in new employees in several important workshops, your law enforcement department must strictly review them, and they will not be allowed to enter even if they are suitable! ”

"My lord, why do you choose those who have families to enter the important places?" Bao Zhongchen didn't turn the corner for a while.

"Think about it, those who have families, the most important thing is to support their families, where do they have the leisure to spy on the military? Even if there is, there are consequences to consider. In any case, you need to strengthen the surveillance and security of the various workshops. ”

After settling these refugees, it is time to integrate them into the system of the South China Army, so that these people can turn from refugees into laborers, and then become a part of the South China Army.

For such a thing as resettlement of migrants, various departments have long formed a complete set of processes and systems. However, one of the most important and core elements has been tacitly and strictly implemented by various departments, that is, to break the original cadastral and clan circles of immigrants, and to say that people from the same village and clan live together, that is, those who also come from the same township will be dispersed, so as to prevent the original regional clan forces from re-breeding.

"There can only be one core of power in Nanzhong." This is the experience of workers in various departments for more than ten years, and they have also fully experienced the benefits in such a system.

Compared with the Nanzhong Army, which has been in business for more than ten years, has deep pockets, and is located in a relatively southern. The scene under the jurisdiction of the commander of the Ming Dynasty and Annan is a bit miserable.

The territory received from Shouhan. Originally, there was a shortage of labor, and a large number of people were coerced away by the Han Dynasty. Moreover, most of the remaining people in the villages were Haoqiang, who was inextricably linked to the Zheng family, and took advantage of the opportunity of this locust plague to buy fields and slaves.

Thereupon. In front of it is an overwhelming array of locusts, gnawing on a qiē plant with jagged teeth. A large area of seedlings that had been planted with great difficulty was left with bare straw roots in the blink of an eye. The branches and leaves of the originally lush trees instantly turned bald, just like Ma Zhiyuan said about the dead vines and old trees.

And the huge locust swarms are like a group of bombers that never know tiredness. Constantly taking off, going in a fixed direction, there will be other swarms along the way, once they find that there is more food in a certain place, they will land, everyone will start the meal, when the food is eaten here, the locusts will take off again, continue to follow the flight path of their kind, constantly looking for new sources of food, leaving behind a large area of eaten crops and trees with only branches left. Even the flowers and plants that people use for viewing have not been spared.

"You say! What about this year's autumn grain? Mo Deling was furious in his own mansion, because of his merit in negotiating the recovery of land, and now he was promoted by Mo Jingkuan to be the head of the household department, in charge of the country's money and food.

But now, across the country, this season's grain harvest is definitely out of order. It is very difficult to say whether there will be a harvest of autumn grain.

"My lord," said a scribe who waited until he had lost his temper and dropped his teacup, and then said to him tremblingly, "why don't we find a way to go south and borrow some grain?" Anyway, you have to get through this level! ”

"Borrow? Don't you look up at the sky? Didn't you see those damn locusts heading southeast? The crops over there are much better than ours, and the locusts are all going over there to eat and drink! No matter how capable the Nanzhong Army is, what can they do with this overwhelming insect? ”

He sat down in his chair and let out a long breath, "I'm afraid this time, I won't be able to escape this fate!" ”

Several scribes looked at each other, and they had nothing to say, so they had to quietly retreat one by one, leaving Master Mo to sulk in the room and figure out a way.

Mo Deling is right, the rice fields of the Southern Chinese Army in the Honghe area are more than several times more than those of the Mo family, which really attracts the appetite of the locusts, but when a large number of locusts spread their wings and fly to this area, they find that not only can they not fill their stomachs, on the contrary, they may become the food of others.

When the first batch of locusts flew to the area of Honghe Province (Shouhan set up an administrative agency for himself in the Red River Plain), the local officials received a notification from the Ha Tinh Detention Office, ordering them to scatter all the chickens and ducks from the government-run livestock farms in the prefecture outside, and at the same time, inform all the prefectures, counties, villages, towns and villages that all those who raise chickens and ducks at home are not allowed to be kept in captivity during the locust plague, and all of them are scattered in the fields to let the chickens and ducks peck at these insects.

"Anyone who raises chickens and ducks at home will be given a price of 10 wen per 10 yuan per day as a levy fee until the disaster is alleviated." What do you mean? That is, if you have chickens and ducks in your house, and whoever scatters them to eat locusts will be considered to be employed by the government. Each chicken and duck was paid ten cents every ten days in this fight against locusts.

And such a good thing?!

Chickens and ducks were originally raised at home to eat insects and eat food, but now they are scattered to eat insects, not only can they save the food at home, at most let the children take care of it, so as not to run away and get lost.

"Whoever hands in a locust egg will be rewarded with fifty yuan."

So, under such a reward. After putting down their school bags, countless children formed an army in search of locust egg masses, tirelessly searching for the source of a new locust army that could hatch.

When the flying procession of locusts has just entered the descent orbit, they will find countless chickens and ducks waiting on the ground in their compound eyes, and they will not only not enjoy the delicacies composed of green seedlings, but on the contrary, they will become the delicacies of chickens and ducks.

Chickens and ducks use their spiky or flat beaks to peck at the rare delicacy of the Taiwan giant locust, which is nearly ten centimeters long, and the East Asian flying locust, which is much smaller. In front of the beaks of chickens and ducks. He looked so weak and powerless, and he had not yet eaten the seedlings in the rice fields, the sugar cane in the sugar cane forest, and all kinds of other colorful foods. I first became a supplement for the nutrients in the body of chickens and ducks. Foods that are rich in protein.

And that's not even the most excessive.

I don't know which one lacks virtue and smokes. There is a saying from the general's palace, "Deep-fried locusts or barbecued are delicious in the world." Especially for men to eat more, there are great benefits! ”

In later generations, there was such a saying, what species makes Cantonese people feel that it is a great supplement, what species makes Chinese people feel that it can be good for men, and what species makes Chinese people think it is delicious, it is not far from extinction.

Unfortunately, it seems that locusts have all these conditions.

So, in many homes, the hostess prepared fried locusts and roasted locusts for the men in the family to nourish their bodies. Restaurants in town and large have actually launched locust dishes.

In addition to this method, piles of straw are lit in the fields, and smoke is emitted to kill the locust swarms flying in the sky.

Under the joint strangulation of people and chickens and ducks, the locusts in the Honghe area were quickly brought under control.

What happened next made the people of Honghe Province even more excited.

"Big boy! For Daddy and a few uncles! ”

Wu Yonghai, an immigrant from Fujian, picked up his son, who was counting the money he had earned from selling locust eggs behind the table, and stuffed him with a copy of Nanzhong Business Daily, "I heard from the gentlemen in the city that today's newspaper has something about how to use chicken manure!" ”

"That's it! Boy, read it quickly! ”

Every village has a large number of chickens and ducks, these chickens and ducks in this locust plague are all fat and strong, a large number of protein-rich food so that these chickens and ducks have greatly increased the number of eggs, but Shouhan still feels a little unfinished, so he published a bombshell in the Nanzhong Business Daily, which was developed from Nanzhong Business.

Wu Yonghai's son reluctantly put the copper coins on the table into the drawer and picked up the newspaper in his father's hand.

"The main substance in chicken manure is the undigested part of the various feeds that the chicken eats, accounting for about four to seventy percent of the food it consumes. The application of chicken manure increased the organic matter content in the soil. Organic matter can improve the soil, mature the soil, and fertilize the soil. ”

"Chickens have short intestines, the digest and utilization of the feed they eat are not sufficient, and a large amount of nutrients are excreted with the feces. Each layer can excrete about 36.4 kg of manure a year, and each broiler can excrete 4.09 kg of manure (January-February). An adult chicken excretes about 100 grams of fresh chicken manure per day. Chicken manure is not only a good fertilizer, but also because it contains high nutritional value, it can be used as feed. The comprehensive use of chicken manure can greatly improve the sanitary environment of chicken farms, eliminate mosquitoes, flies, odors, reduce the spread of diseases, and can make full use of this resource as feed, fertilizer, etc., so that chicken manure can be turned into treasure, and produce better social, ecological and economic benefits. There are many methods of chicken manure treatment, such as chicken manure fermentation, chicken manure drying, silage method, etc., and now the most suitable method for ordinary users is chicken manure fermentation, which is not only simple in process, but also low in cost. ”

"Don't read this, we all know that chicken manure is a good fertilizer, pick up that important thought!" Wu Yonghai muttered in his son's ear, urging his son to pick the important thing.

"Okay! Here is the practice of using chicken manure as feed, should you think about it first? His son, Wu Tianxi, glanced at him reluctantly, looked through the newspaper, and found a text that might interest his father and these uncles and began to read it.

"Chicken manure collection can be used to raise pigs after fermentation and processing, and the manure production of 1,000 laying hens can be used for 75 pigs, so the ratio of chickens to pigs is 13:1. If all the chicken manure cannot be collected, the ratio should be 13:1-15:1. After the chicken manure is fermented in the following way, it can be fed. When feeding, attention should be paid to following the principle of 'from less to more, slowly adapting', that is, the amount of fermented feed can be added on the first day is about 10%, and the second day is about 20%, and gradually add more until about 50% is added. ”

"Seventy percent of fresh chicken manure, one and a half percent of corn flour, one percent of grain bran, and half percent of wheat bran can be adjusted according to local conditions, fully stirred evenly, and then mixed with water, so that the moisture content of the total material is controlled at about 65%. The simple judgment method is: that is, a handful of materials can be formed by hand, and it is advisable to spread out when you let go of the landing, and the moisture is too high or too low. Then put it into a large jar or a completely sealed tank or other container, and the fermentation can be completed by sealing it for 2~3 days, and the winter time is slightly longer. When the chicken manure is yellow-green odorless and slightly wine-scented, it indicates that the fermentation is basically completed, and it can be used to raise pigs according to the above steps. ”……

It turns out that chicken manure can be used so much in addition to fertilizing the field after fermentation? In addition to feeding pigs, it can also be used to feed fish! That is, in addition to feeding pigs and fish with corn grass, we can also feed with chicken manure feed?!

It's as if someone has suddenly pushed a window open! Soon, the people who drove the chickens and ducks raised at home to peck at the locusts in the fields had an extra dung basket, and they carefully collected the chicken manure scattered everywhere and returned home to feed the pigs.

At the end of the year, people were pleasantly surprised to find that although the rice was lower than usual due to the locust plague, the output of eggs, chickens, ducks, and pork had jumped to a new level.

"I can't imagine that after the locust plague, there will be so much money and rice, meat, eggs, chickens and ducks to buy!"

Wu Yonghai folded and collected the precious Nanzhong Business Daily, and told his son, "When school starts next year, go to the school to inquire and see if we can subscribe to this newspaper?" Lest there be any good things that we know later than others! ”

Continue to ask for clicks, favorites, subscriptions, and monthly passes. (To be continued......)
