It's almost the New Year, and after the New Year, Li Su will be twelve years old, and he will be one year older.

But there are still many years before adulthood......

Looking at the beautiful wife and concubine who grew more and more beautiful around him, Li Su suddenly felt that time passed so slowly.

This year, Li Su decided to live a lively and lively life, and prepare more fun things.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Chunfeng came to visit.

Well? Li Chunfeng?

For the Chinese New Year, why did he come to visit?

Li Su intuitively felt that there must be no good thing for this guy to visit.

Sure enough, after inviting Li Chunfeng in, Li Chunfeng said something that shocked Li Chunfeng extremely much.

"Master, according to the apprentice's speculation, I am only afraid that there will be a locust plague next year."

Locusts?

After hearing the news, Li Su's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and he couldn't help but ask Li Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, this is a very serious matter, can you really be sure?" ”

Li Chunfeng said solemnly: "Master, Chunfeng naturally knows. This time, Chunfeng is ninety percent sure! ”

Ninety percent sure? That's almost 100% of the time there will be a locust plague.

Once the locust plague occurs, the overwhelming locusts will fly by, and the people's crops will not be left behind, which is definitely an extremely terrible disaster.

In addition, even if we know that locust infestations are going to occur, it is difficult to prevent them.

But fortunately, Li Chunfeng told Li Su very early, and at this point in time, if you calculate it, it should be too late.

The so-called great drought will be followed by a locust plague, and this year is the year of the great drought, and then there will be a locust plague in the coming year, this proverb is really very effective.

Li Su couldn't help but say to Li Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, if this matter is true, you have really made a great contribution, and the people of Yizhou will thank you!" Now, can you get locust eggs? ”

Li Chunfeng nodded and said: "Master, yellow worm eggs, on the hillside, in the ground, you can see it almost when you open the land, there are a lot of them, if you want to, you can get a lot." However, if you want to destroy locusts by destroying insect eggs, I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”

If you want to get some locust eggs, it's not hard to get them.

But if you want to completely eradicate locusts through this method, because the distribution is too scattered, it is really not easy to do.

Li Su naturally knew this truth, but Li Su's purpose was not to completely solve the locust plague through this method.

Therefore, Li Su said to Li Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, in this way, you work hard, and immediately lead people to look for locust eggs." Remember to be sure to protect it with a quilt, etc., I want to be able to come out of the egg alive, not dead. ”

Although he didn't know what the master wanted to do with the live locust eggs, Li Chunfeng instinctively realized that it must have something to do with the elimination of locusts.

Although he didn't know what the master was going to do, since the master didn't say it, Li Chunfeng didn't ask.

Instead, he got up directly, took the people, and began to look for the eggs of the locusts.

As for Li Su, he immediately found some soldiers and began to build a greenhouse.

This greenhouse is the real sense, those greenhouses of later generations.

The plastic sheeting used in the greenhouse was purchased by Li Su in the mall.

And Li Su built the greenhouse to prepare to use the greenhouse to raise locusts.

In fact, if we can know in advance that a locust plague will occur, there is no way to eliminate locusts.

For example, you can use flocks of ducks to kill locusts by raising ducks.

Because ducks are omnivores, they have a particularly strong digestive capacity.

And its ability to catch locusts is not bad at all.

It can hunt hundreds of locusts every day.

As long as Li Su comes forward and mobilizes the people to raise ducks on a large scale, he will definitely be able to eliminate locusts through this method at that time.

Although it is impossible to wipe out all the locusts, at least it will not be a disaster.

But this approach also has its disadvantages.

First of all, there is the problem of duck seedlings.

If you want to raise ducks on a large scale, you can't do without duck seedlings.

And now, it is necessary to buy duck seedlings on a large scale throughout Datang.

This requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and then hatching the ducks, the price is bound to be expensive.

The second is that because of the drought, there is a shortage of food in the entire Datang area.

Then so many ducks come out, and the ducks can eat again.

Before the grass grows, I'm afraid there really won't be enough food to feed so many ducks.

And, even if it really doesn't cost anything, so many ducks are raised.

But when the duck grows, who will sell it to?

Every family raises ducks, and when the time comes, they can't sell them, so they can only keep them for themselves.

For the common people, it is also a big burden.

It was precisely because of all the difficulties in using duck flocks to exterminate locusts that Li Su decided to use another method to exterminate locusts.

This method can not only exterminate locusts, but even make money if applied properly.

Of course, there is a premise for using this trick.

That is, they must cultivate locusts in greenhouses in advance, and they must also promote them throughout Datang.

The second is, in this matter, I'm afraid that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Su can do this, right?

The greenhouses and greenhouses were soon completed, and Li Yu began to work on the locust cultivation plan.

Locust seedlings are very demanding, especially for temperature changes.

And in order to cultivate locusts, because the cultivation technology of locusts is currently only mastered by Li Su himself, so he can't fake his hands to others.

Therefore, even during the Chinese New Year, Li Su spent it in a greenhouse.

And Li Su's wish to accompany the three daughters to spend a romantic and warm New Year prepared in advance can be regarded as a complete failure.

However, fortunately, the three girls were reasonable, and instead of blaming Li Su.

They understand that since Li Su attaches so much importance to this matter, it is enough to prove that this matter is very important to Li Su.

Therefore, instead of complaining in the slightest, the three daughters vigorously supported Li Su's work.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, the three daughters were in the greenhouse, helping Li Su to raise seedlings and spend a unique and exceptionally warm New Year.

After the New Year, the nursery work was carried out perfectly.

The seedlings have been bred and can be cultivated in separate sheds.

At this stage, the requirements are no longer so strict, and Li Su can leave this matter to his subordinates.

And Li Su found Xia Yuntian, the editor-in-chief of Yizhou Monthly, and ordered him to launch the second issue of Yizhou Daily.

The theme of this issue of Yizhou Daily is that Yizhou will launch the second Yizhou International Food Festival.

And this time around, a whole new kind of food will be withdrawn, and this kind of food will taste amazing.

It's absolutely unprecedented, and it's a delicacy that all customers have never tasted before.

Of course, this issue of Yizhou Daily is not only the news of the second Yizhou International Food Festival.
