Several people in the palace looked at the letters full of sorrow, they never expected that there would be such a big locust plague.

"We can catch locusts with curtains." Ning Er, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up, his expression was serious, and he looked like he had said this after careful consideration.

"How do you catch it with a curtain?" Shen Tianyu felt a little strange, he turned around and looked at Ning Er, his eyes were full of curiosity.

"I remember when I was a child, my mother used to catch butterflies for me, and I used a curtain to catch them." Speaking of this, Ning Er began to recall the time when Zhong Ling was in the palace before.

In fact, this was when he was more than three years old, and at that time in the Imperial Garden, he was very curious about those butterflies, and he opened his little hand to catch them, but the butterflies just couldn't catch them.

When the queen mother saw that he was very fond of the butterfly, she made a net that could catch butterflies out of the very breathable curtain. Since butterflies can be caught, the same effect is not for catching locusts.

"Is this okay?" General Zhong was a little skeptical, is this really okay? How did he feel that this was a little unreliable.

"I can still remember what that net looks like, I'll make one out of it right away, and if I can, I'll trouble you to make a trip and popularize this method." Ning Er got down from the chair, he had already thought of a solution, and now he was going to make one.

Ning Er tried hard to recall the previous events, how did that net do it?

"Okay." Shen Tianyu agreed, and now there is only one way.

If this method is useful, then it is also possible to raise more chickens and ducks, which not only solves the problem of these locusts, but also feeds chickens and ducks to solve the problem of eating.

Ning'er's actions were very fast, but after a while, the net had already been completed.

If the appearance is there, it depends on the real use effect.

In order to verify that this net was really useful, Ning Er took them directly to the Imperial Garden.

This is the time of year when the flowers are in bloom, and there are many butterflies and bees in the Imperial Garden. It's still good to verify.

"Can something like this really catch locusts?" The three of them all looked at the little prince with a look of surprise, which was a little too strange.

Can this strange-looking thing really catch those locusts?

They expressed great skepticism, but they all looked at Ning Er with great anticipation, hoping that this method would be useful, otherwise the locust really wouldn't know what to do.

"You see, as long as you wave like this, you can catch butterflies, if there are really a lot of locusts, then you can easily catch them, and then as long as these locusts are killed in this and then collected, then the locusts can be used as fodder for chickens and ducks." Ning'er has studied a lot of previous literature in the past few days, all of which are the experiences of predecessors on how to deal with locusts.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of locusts.

"It's theoretically possible." Shen Tianyu nodded, looking as if it was still okay.

"This method is set like this for the time being, I'll go find the people below to popularize it, Dad, Lord, I will trouble you to worry more about the affairs in this palace." Zhong Huaiyu did not hesitate at all.

Popularizing this kind of thing is naturally his business.

General Zhong Lao is highly respected, so he is naturally suitable for dealing with some major affairs in the palace, and the prince, he does not have much contact with the people, and his identity is also noble, and he is the only one among the three people who is most suitable for doing this.

"Go ahead, you go to the border and take a look, investigate it yourself, and see where the locusts are." General Zhong Lao is still very worried about this matter now, the news transmission is slow, and when the news arrives in the imperial city, and the imperial city comes up with a way to order, the locusts are already raging everywhere, to be honest, it is already too late at that time.

"Dad, don't worry." Zhong Huaining is full of confidence, for him, this National Day will definitely do a good thing for the people.

If you do it well, it will leave a name in history. This is his opportunity.

Zhong Huaining went out to Kyoto with his own hopes, while the people in the palace were thinking of various ways to increase food production in other places.

After all, Hao Yun is so big, there are still many places that are free of locust plagues.

If there is a problem in one place, then you can only rely on the support of other places to get through.

The sweet potatoes that Zhong Ling had to transport back before are now very precious to them.

Because this is the first batch of seeds, the palace also attaches great importance to them, and the seeds directly let the people who came back from the burly country sprout. Because sweet potatoes are so easy to live on, they demonstrated how to grow sweet potatoes and then distributed vines to nearby farmers.

They heard that this was the seed that the queen mother brought back from the burly country, and they all believed it very much.

After all, Zhong Ling is in the eyes of the people, that is a goddess-like existence, which Hao Yun's people don't thank Zhong Ling and don't like the emperor.

A special woman, the pair of Zhong Ling, is very fond and loved. Zhong Ling has brought a turn for the better in their lives, as long as it is what Zhong Ling ordered, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, everyone is duty-bound.

The promotion of sweet potatoes is particularly smooth, as for potatoes, because they need seeds to germinate, the promotion of potatoes is far less rapid than sweet potatoes, but everything is also developing in a good place.

……

Zhong Ling and his party finally arrived at the village in the mouth of the two people, how to say it, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Ling was actually very unhappy in his heart.

This house looks okay, but it also has a little meaning. If it weren't for the appearance of the locust plague, then this place must be a paradise.

But now every household has no surplus food, so everyone can only go up to the mountains to find wild vegetables.

Zhong Ling: When they met those two people, they were a little far away from the village, and there were no people, but now, the more they walked in, the more they could find that there were many yellow-faced and thin-skinned people rummaging around the mountain.

Of course, now that the mountains are all gone, there is naturally not much to eat, and all you can find to eat is the bark of the roots.

Although it is bitter and difficult to swallow, in the face of life and death, this is also their last hope.

"My son, what's wrong with you, wake up quickly, I'm just a son like you, don't scare me." An old woman's cry immediately attracted Zhong Ling's attention.

She was about to go over immediately, but because she was in too much of a hurry, she tripped over a stone on the road, and she almost fell, and Shen Yichi hugged Zhong Ling with a frightened feeling.

"Be careful, I'll go up and take a look, you're waiting here." Shen Yichi was helpless, feeling that Zhong Ling was really going to scare him to death.

The person who had the accident was on the mountain, although it was not very steep, but Zhong Ling was about to fall on this flat ground, so he really couldn't rest assured that he would go up like this.

"Let's go." Zhong Ling shook her head, she also wanted to take a look, but she also knew that she needed to rely on Shen Yichi.

He stared at Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling also looked at him, the eyes of the two exchanged fire in the air, and Shen Yichi couldn't help it, and he was defeated. Zhong Ling insisted that he really had no way at all, so he could only take Zhong Ling over to watch it.

There were actually quite a few people standing on the mountain, but when they heard the old woman shouting like this, no one reacted much, and no one came to help.

"Alas, another one died." A woman not far away shook her head helplessly at the situation in front of her.

"It's too late to eat a dead person, and if you don't eat it, you'll die, it's hard to live these days." The other chimed in, but said nothing more.

There was not much reaction to the stranger's arrival.

They don't have anything to eat in their village, so let's come, is it possible that they still want to rob their house?

"Auntie, what's going on, can we take a look?" Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi walked up to the woman and spoke very politely.

"Please, save my son, I beg you." The woman saw that Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi were dressed unusually, and her eyes seemed to see hope at once.

They look like rich people, and her son may be saved, and this may be saved.

"I've kowtowed to you, save my son, he's really a poor man, I beg you." As she spoke, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi one after another.

This made Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi very embarrassed, they still hadn't done anything, how could they be embarrassed.

"Listen to me, I want to see your son's condition now, we can't do anything without looking at us, can you get up first?" Zhong Ling slowed down his voice and pulled the woman.

The woman also knew that now was not the time to cry, so she wiped her tears indiscriminately, and stood aside to watch the movements of the two of them.

Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi immediately went to check on the person's situation, his face was a little blue, and the corners of his mouth were too.

If you look closely, there seems to be some kind of plant left on the mouth.

"Auntie, do you know what your son has eaten recently?" Zhong Ling looked at the old woman who was still crying.

"This, that's it, he ate a big wooden lump at the latest, and I ate it too, but it's fine." The old woman immediately replied that she had also eaten those things, and that there should be no problem with the food.

After all, she and her son ate the same thing, but now that her son had collapsed like this, it really didn't taste good in her heart.

"I'll see." Zhong Ling took the thing in her hand, and was startled at this look.

"This grass is not edible, this is a poisonous herb, can't you all tell the difference between wild vegetables and poisonous weeds?" Zhong Ling felt that his anger was a bit big, and not any grass could be stuffed directly into his mouth.

"How do I know, poor my son, who left like this at a young age." The old woman howled, she never thought that she had hurt her son because of her ignorance.

Her son, so pitiful.

Zhong Ling's heart was not good, and he moved his gaze to Shen Yichi.
