"You don't have to be too restrained, if you want to leave here and go home to catch locusts, you can do that, but I want to remind you of one thing!" Long Xingche felt that it was time to take "natural enemies" to control the locusts.

Those people who were originally going to leave home to catch locusts and bomb them to eat, when they heard Long Xingche's words, they respectfully asked: "I don't know what the emperor commands, we will definitely do it!" ”

Long Xingche said to those people seriously: "When everyone goes to the field to catch locusts, the chickens, ducks and geese at home are also brought to the field, although you can eat some of the locusts, but now the locust plague is so serious, you can't eat it all by eating alone." ”

This method was told by Fu Wenjing to Long Xingche, and Fu Wenjing knew that chickens, ducks and geese were the natural enemies of locusts. With them helping the people here catch locusts together, it will be even more effective with half the effort!

Those people were still a little confused, but after being reminded by Fu Wenjing, they suddenly realized. Each of them does have some poultry, and they usually deal with these poultry the most, so they know them very well!

"Concubine Jing is really smart, we didn't expect it!"

"That's it! That chicken eats locusts so badly, he can eat more than 100 a day! ”

"Really? I really didn't pay attention to this, I have a lot of chickens at home, I'll take them to the field today! ”

So, those ordinary people, after being reminded of this matter by Fu Wenjing, left the Weizhou Prefecture again!

When they returned home, they immediately brought the chickens and ducks that they had not been willing to feed because of the locust plague in the past few days. The chickens and ducks, who were so hungry that they saw that the fields were full of locusts, ran like crazy to find food.

Within a day, there were people everywhere in the fields where there had been no one since the locust plague, and they were all catching locusts in it, preparing to go home and fry them in oil like Fu Wenjing, sprinkle them with spices and eat them.

The poultry brought by the common people are happily shuttling inside, because there are too many locusts, and they are also "feasting" desperately eating!

When it was dark, Fu Wenjing also asked the soldiers to shuttle through the fields with torches, using the locust's phototactic habits to destroy it with fire!

After a few days, the locusts were finally almost completely wiped out by everyone in Weizhou. In the end, there were only a few locusts left in the field, and then the common people did not intervene, but just threw their own poultry into the field and let them take charge of removing the remaining locusts.

Long Xingche also followed Fu Wenjing's proposal, after killing a large number of adult locusts. Considering that many locusts have laid eggs. In order to avoid future troubles, Long Xingche asked the common people and soldiers to go together to find the place where the locusts lay eggs, and poured the medicinal juice prepared by Fu Wenjing to kill the locust eggs and kill the eggs.

After Long Xingche and Fu Wenjing came to Weizhou to deal with the locust plague this time, on the eve of returning to the palace, Long Xingche stayed awake all night, and carefully sorted out a set of plans to prevent the locust plague from happening again based on the experience of this locust treatment.

It is necessary to build water conservancy projects to ensure that there are no disasters due to drought and flood, and it is also necessary to open up large-scale land for planting and change the habitat of locusts. Afforestation to reduce the number of suitable habitats for locusts to lay eggs and reproduce. More cultivation techniques have been improved to control locust eggs. Change the distribution of crops according to local conditions to reduce locust infestation. Biological control, in locust locations, or on hillsides, raise more chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry to prevent locust plagues!

After dawn, Fu Wenjing woke up and found no one around. He got up and saw Long Xingche still lying there, studying the locust control plan he had sorted out to see if there was anything else to add.

"Your Majesty, this set of locust control plans is complete, detailed and specific! You've stayed up all night, that's what you're for, right? After Fu Wenjing came to Long Xingche's side, after reading the various locust control plans written by Long Xingche, she was very admired!

Long Xingche stretched out his hand and pinched his eyes that were red because he hadn't slept all night: "Yes!" This time, the locust plague happened, and it was so severe, mainly because of negligence and inexperience. I personally participated in the control of locusts this time, and it was also God who gave me the opportunity to make up for my shortcomings! ”

"Your Majesty, you're tired, it's time to rest!" Fu Wenjing saw the dark circles under Long Xingche's eyes, so she wanted to help him to rest for a while, after all, he had to leave for Beijing later.

"It's okay, I feel like I can't open my eyes!" Long Xingche said, and Fu Wenjing helped him to lie on the bed, and after lying down for a while, there was a slight snoring.

Fu Wenjing looked at Long Xingche's frowning eyebrows although he was asleep, and stretched out his fingers to wipe them out: "It seems that he is tired!" The locusts are over, why are you still so tired. Is it because you can't do more for the people of Suizhou, and you feel guilty? Haven't you already done a lot of follow-up remedial work? ”

Fu Wenjing went to the table again and glanced at Long Xingche's locust control strategy, in just a few days, Long Xingche was able to summarize the experience of locust control so well, even more thoroughly than her, a modern person who understands the wisdom of thousands of years of civilization, which made her feel deeply ashamed......

On the way back to the capital

Long Xingche was still very sleepy because of lack of sleep, so he rested on Fu Wenjing's knee in the carriage and chatted with her: "I want to exempt Suizhou and Weizhou from paying taxes this year!" ”

Fu Wenjing was very pleased with Long Xingche's decision: "The people of Suizhou and Weizhou will definitely love the emperor even more after knowing that the emperor is so sympathetic to them!" ”

Long Xingche thought of the family he had seen on the road, all of whom were about to starve to death, so he said with a heartache: "They can't eat because of the locust plague, and if I ask them to pay taxes according to the regulations, it will be too unkind!" ”

Fu Wenjing touched Long Xingche's handsome face with distinct facial features: "Your Majesty, compared to when the concubine first met you, you have changed, and you don't feel like a person anymore!" ”

Long Xing glanced at Fu Wenjing: "You are really a conscienceless!" You're so smart, don't you know why I've changed? ”

Long Xingche's current appearance reminded Fu Wenjing of when she first met Long Xingche, who was selfish, paranoid and irritable at that time. Putting himself first, he never takes into account the feelings of others, and he does not cherish the people around him who serve him.

The current Long Xingche, although his personality has basically not changed, but he has an extra layer of attitude in judging the situation in his cognition. He is no longer in a hurry to react and adjudicate on some ambiguous things!

Fu Wenjing was a little uncomfortable and straightened the hair on her forehead: "Your Majesty, you have told me many times that the changes you have made since you met me are all because of me!" I can't imagine that such an ordinary woman as me would affect the life of an emperor! ”

Long Xingche looked at Fu Wenjing's peerless face in a daze: "You may never understand how important your position is in my heart!" ”
