Xiao Fu, the head of the household department, took the order that Zhongshu Province had just issued, and he was a little confused.

This holy decree is to order officials in Guanzhong, Shandong, and other places to immediately start preventing locust plagues and exterminating locust larvae.

To be honest, these three methods are not very efficient, but if the implementation is in place in time, the scale of the locust plague can be controlled to some extent, and too many people will not starve to death.

But this time is different, in the holy decree, there is actually a new method of the Son of Heaven's order.

In addition to the above three old methods of human fighting, the Son of Heaven added several more.

First: loosening the soil, in addition to manpower to catch locust larvae, but wherever you see no plant cover, the land is bare and dry, be sure to dig up the loose soil, and the place between the ridges of the field has not yet sown, also dig up the loose soil.

Second: drive chickens and ducks into the field, people everywhere have chickens and ducks at home, let them drive chickens and ducks into the field, chickens and ducks will eat locusts, is a sharp weapon for locust extermination.

Third: the terrain is low, and there is no water and no grass, we must focus on taking care of, in addition to loosening the soil, it is best to divert water to irrigate the lake, and it can also be used as a fish pond.

The above three points are supplemented by the Son of Heaven.

Of course, these are the three points that were summarized in the end, and the original manuscript of the Son of Heaven was written in a lot, in addition to the detailed implementation steps of these methods.

The Son of Heaven even explained why he did this, and the Son of Heaven said in the manuscript that the reason why this locust is extremely dry and locust is because locusts lay eggs in arid places, and their larvae can only grow in such an environment.

The reason why chickens and ducks are driven into the field is because chickens and ducks like to eat locusts, and of course they also like to eat crops, but in the case of locusts, they will still eat locusts first, and besides, the little crops they eat are far less than the locust plague.

Wouldn't it be beautiful that the chickens and ducks are fattened and can still stew a soup to drink.

The terrain is low, there is no water and no grass, it is the favorite spawning ground of locusts, irrigated into a pond, can be once and for all, and can also engage in aquaculture, of course, it is very good.

Xiao Fu also understands the thing of aquaculture, but it is the first time I have heard of it and I have never tried to irrigate low-lying places into ponds for aquaculture.

Xiao Fu thought about it, and still wrote a chapter, mainly to exhort His Majesty, these methods, I don't know how to use them, besides, water conservancy matters, can not be reckless, big rivers, easy can not be artificially diverted, etc.

The performance speed was very fast, and after it was written, it was sent to the palace, and it didn't take long for Xiao Fu to be summoned into the palace by the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Fu didn't expect the Son of Heaven to finish reading the recital so quickly, but calling him into the palace made him a little apprehensive, but when he thought that the Son of Heaven hadn't even embarrassed Li Guangsheng before, he had nothing to fear.

It is impossible for such a benevolent and righteous Son of Heaven to punish me for a few words of exhortation, and if the Son of Heaven is not a benevolent and righteous Son of Heaven, it is impossible for him to write that rebuttal without hesitation.

Of course, Wu Qiong shouted Xiao Fulai not to reprimand him, but to explain in detail the several methods he added, especially to engage in fish pond farming.

He didn't expect that there had been no artificial fish pond breeding in the Great Zhou, but if you think about it, the matter of engaging in artificial fish ponds, according to research, seems to have existed only in the two Song dynasties, and the Song people will live, and many ancient changes and inventions appeared at that time.

For example, castration of livestock, crop cultivation methods of two crops and three crops a year, as well as intensive farming methods such as rice-vegetable intercropping and rice-wheat rotation, all appeared at that time.

It can be said that there is a Song Dynasty, which has greatly improved the science and technology of the Chinese nation in farming, although Wu Qiong knows these things, but he does not know them in detail, and he still has to go back to Baidu to give guidance to the people of the Great Zhou.

Of course, the main thing is to guide Wu Zhi.

As for the fish pond, Xiao Fu obviously misunderstood himself, and thought that he wanted to divert the river for irrigation, so whose fish pond was connected to the river? It's not okay to have fishing nets to stop it, because what about marine aquaculture? Da Zhou didn't have a fishing net to stop him, didn't he run away?

Artificial fish ponds, which are all irrigated by artificial water!

As for the other methods, Wu Qiong also explained them in detail.

Xiao Fuming knew it, so he went to make arrangements, according to the words of the Son of Heaven, the sooner the better.

Spring and summer are the best seasons to prevent locust plagues, and if spring is wasted, then we must seize the opportunity this summer, otherwise autumn will suffer.

However, neither the official office yamen nor Wu Qiong expected to prevent the locust plague now and ensure that the locust plague would not break out.

And Wu Qiong can only secretly pray, hoping that the wind and rain will be smooth, the locust plague will not be too serious, and he will go back tomorrow and make a normalized spring and summer locust prevention guide, and he can only do so much.

As for the invention of pesticides, locust killers? Wu Qiong is not studying chemistry, and the current productivity is too low, and the difficulty of large-scale production of pesticides is too high, so forget it.

Then, one after another from the yamen of the official office on the side sent over most of the officials, and they accepted the words of prevention against the locust plague.

It's okay to have nothing to do, but once there is something, then this piece will be sent like a snowflake.

Wu Qiong was soon drowned in countless government affairs......

Jingshi, Tai Yi Department.

The doctor made the scalp tingle a little.

Mainly because today's Son of Heaven ran to the Imperial Doctor's Office in the middle of the night, it was really dawn at that time, but he never had to go to the Imperial Doctor's order in the early court, and he was actually shouted early.

I thought that the Son of Heaven came to see a doctor, but I didn't expect that the Son of Heaven was actually discussing the matter of prescriptions, or the prescriptions for locusts.

Taiyi Ling has studied medicine for decades, and it is the first time he has heard that locusts can be used as a prescription! Not only him, but even the other imperial doctors were dumbfounded.

It's easy to say when this locust is blue, but after the color becomes darker, it's poisonous! Some of the imperial doctors who have been in the countryside know these things.

They also tactfully mentioned it to the Son of Heaven at that time, but the Son of Heaven said at that time:

"Putting aside the dose and talking about toxicity, that's all hooliganism."

Everyone is a little confused when they hear it, what does hooligan mean?

Later, as soon as the Son of Heaven explained, everyone understood, oh! Splash skin!

This is not the point, it is good to promote the prescription, anyway, as long as the dose is controlled, just to deal with cough and chilblains, it will not kill people.

As a result, the Son of Heaven later said very bluntly:

"By the way, these prescriptions for treating coughs, as well as chilblains, etc., I will give you the day after tomorrow, but there is another prescription, I will give it to you when I write it down, but first say it, this is not my prescription, I saw it in ancient books."

The imperial physician order did not wait too long in the imperial doctor's office, and the prescription written by the Son of Heaven was delivered, as for the prescription of the Son of Heaven or the ancient books, it actually doesn't matter, the Son of Heaven personally admires it, then everyone will spare no effort to publicize it.

It's just that when I saw the prescription sent, the doctor was stupid.

"Take nine locusts, head and tail are gone, dry and grind into powder, sprinkle on the food when eating, eat together, and squat three groups a day, 30 times in each group, three groups of frog jumps, 30 times in each group, every time a man goes to the toilet, control the hip muscles, interrupt the urine, and can also simulate the practice on weekdays, and after 20 days, it will be effective immediately - locust powder aphrodisiac prescription."

There is also a line of small print at the back:

[Don't use the name of me to promote this aphrodisiac, use the name of Aiqing to publicize, the propaganda method is written in the back, remember! ] 】

The imperial doctor was stupid, and he grabbed a imperial doctor next to him and asked:

"What, what is a squat? What is Frog Jump? What are the hip muscles? ”

The imperial doctor was also stupid, and asked carefully:

"My lord, what are you doing?"

The imperial doctor's face turned red, and he said for a long time:

"I, I'm an aphrodisiac......"
