Looking at Ye Mohan's solemn appearance, Mu Shuang'er was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, such an important national event, Ye Mohan actually came back to ask her.

It was a matter of thousands of people, Mu Shuang'er didn't dare to be negligent, and after twisting her eyebrows and pondering for a while, she asked: "The prince just said that Luancheng is now mainly affected by drought and locusts, which caused this to happen?"

Ye Mohan nodded, "First of all, it has not rained, which has dried up the land and affected the harvest. If that's all it takes, the locust plague will come again, and the situation will be even worse!"

"That being the case, I wonder if the prince has arranged for someone to fundamentally solve these two things?"

Ye Mohan twisted his eyebrows, "Regarding the drought, this king can send some water-attribute monks to relieve the pressure, but the locust plague is a bit tricky." ”

"Those locusts are extremely numerous, it is difficult to get rid of them, and as soon as they appear, they are a large swarm, and it will not be long before the crops will be eaten up, and it is impossible to prevent them!"

"I wonder if the prince has ever heard of the phrase "locusts in drought"?"

"Drought and locusts?" Ye Mohan thought for a moment and said, "Little brother means that the locust plague is caused by drought?"

Ye Mohan recalled several recorded natural disasters, as if it was really like this, first there was a drought, if it was remedied in time, it would be fine, but if the drought reached a certain level, there were many outbreaks of locust plagues.

The same can be said. Mu Shuang'er nodded, "Locust plagues often go hand in hand with severe droughts. ”

"The locust is a warm, dry insect that has many benefits for its reproduction, growth and survival.

I don't know if the prince has carefully observed that the locusts lay their eggs in the soil, and the drought caused the locusts to multiply in large numbers and grow rapidly.

There are two reasons for this: on the one hand, during droughts, the soil becomes more solid, the ground is much less vegetated, and the water surface of rivers and lakes shrinks, which provides more suitable places for locusts to lay eggs. On the other hand, plants grown in arid environments have a lower water content, and locusts feed on them, growing faster and having higher fertility. ”

Ye Mohan was thoughtful, although there were some words that he didn't understand, but it roughly meant that he understood.

I secretly wondered in my heart, how could this person in front of him know so much about locusts, such a pest?

"Since the little brother knows locusts so well, he doesn't know how to cure the disaster......

"As I said earlier, drought is extremely conducive to the growth and reproduction of locusts, and the best way to control locust plagues is to create a rainy and humid environment, which has many adverse effects on locust reproduction.

First of all, the water content of the plants that the locusts feed on is high, which will delay the growth of locusts and reduce their fertility, and the rainy and humid environment will also make the locusts epidemic diseases, and the rain and snow can also directly kill the locust eggs. ”

"Is that true?" Ye Mohan's eyes lit up.

It's not impossible to do it in a rainy and humid environment, but it needs more monks.

If this is the case, these two concurrent disasters will be eliminated, and the people will no longer wander around trying to survive, even if it is worth the effort!

Mu Shuang'er bowed, "Lord Wang might as well give it a try!"

"By the way," she said so much just now, Mu Shuang'er suddenly thought of one thing, that is—are the locusts here the same as the locusts she knows in the twenty-first century?

Embarrassment!

"That ......" Mu Shuang'er coughed lightly, "I don't know if this locust has no cultivation, or is it cultivated like a demonic beast?"
