"This can't be done, before the locusts starve to death, our tribe will be starved to death first!"

The chief muttered.

Although Zhao Xiuzhu promised to transport grain from outsiders to sell to them, but at this time and then.

They are now subject to the tribe, and naturally they have all the good things to say.

But if they are let go in the coming day, and they break their promises and become fat, will the tribesmen not starve to death in the mountains?

As for the benefits of those two crops, the chieftain was not fully convinced.

In the face of the chief's questioning, Zhao Xiuzhu just said lightly:

"No problem, the first method doesn't work, we still have the second method!"

Hearing this, He Xiang asked, "Why is this second law?" ”

"Dig the soil and raise fish!"

Hearing this, He Xiang frowned:

"What does this digging and fish farming have to do with locust control?"

"It's a big deal!"

"Locusts mostly prefer low-lying places, either to survive or to lay eggs."

"In that case, we might as well turn these places into fish ponds so that the locusts have nowhere to live, and in this way, we can also reduce the locust disaster."

After listening to He Xiang's words, the chief's face turned blue.

"Do you want us to grow sweet potatoes or raise fish?"

Hearing this, He Xiang asked tentatively, "Why not half and half?" ”

The chief turned and went to fetch the rope.

Zhao Xiuzhu hurriedly said: "Don't worry! Even if you don't like fish, I have other options! ”

"Brother Zhao, don't sell it, hurry up!"

He Xiang stopped the chief while hurriedly urging Zhao Xiuzhu.

When Zhao Xiuzhu heard this, he said:

"The third way is to plant more vegetation."

"Brother Zhao, you better tell the reason!"

He Xiang sighed.

He understood that he could not stop the chief without giving a suitable reason.

"Locusts like to be dry, as the saying goes, locusts will grow in extreme drought."

"It's because locusts like to lay their eggs in dry, sandy soil."

"So we planted trees and crops in this place. You can cut down the places where locusts lay their eggs! ”

Hearing this, the chief stopped.

"That's a pretty good idea!"

He Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so hanging, I almost couldn't stop it.

If it really annoys the big chief, the three of them are afraid that there is no hope of survival at all.

After all, there are many people on the other side, and if the big chief orders them to be sacrificed, there is really no strategy to fight them!

Because of the suspiciously useful information, the Great Chief's attitude towards the two of them also improved a lot.

"You help me ask, what else can this Brother Zhao do?"

"Before, he said that there were six Fa, but now there are only three, where is the remaining half?"

Hearing this, He Xiang also took the opportunity to ask.

"This fourth method is not difficult."

Hearing this, He Xiang urged: "Don't sell it, but say it." ”

"As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing! Locusts kill crops, and we can't do anything about it! ”

"But there are creatures that can subdue this little locust!"

Hearing this, the chief's eyes also lit up: "Please also give advice." ”

"Frogs, shells, earth dragons, birds, etc., can subdue locusts."

"If you use it, you can control the locust population."

Hearing this, the chief couldn't help asking, "I know about the others, but what is an earth dragon?" Dragons on the ground? ”

This is what He Xiang also knows, so he explained directly:

"The so-called earth dragon is a stone dragon."

Zhao Xiuzhu added: "You can also call it a lizard. ”

The chief nodded again and wrote it down.

Then he asked, "What about the Fifth Dharma?" ”

"The fifth method is to graze and exterminate locusts!"

"You can graze chickens and ducks to chase and peck at locusts."

"In this way, not only can the locust plague be controlled to a certain extent."

"It's the eggs that poultry make, and so does the size (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 163: Six Methods of Exterminating Locusts and Five Methods

Get bigger! ”

The chief shook his head.

"Most of the tribes' meat sources rely on hunting, but there is no precedent for raising poultry."

Yes, among the tribes, there are people who open up the heavens and expand the land, and cultivate the land.

But no one farms.

The reason is simple.

There is everything in the woods.

Instead of spending half a year raising a poultry, it is better to catch it directly from the woods!

It saves a long time of hard care and a lot of feed.

It's a fool to breed!

After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhao Xiuzhu shook his head: "Domesticated animals are an important source of meat. ”

"If you hunt for meat."

"In the future, when the tribe grows and grows, what if there are not enough beasts in the forest to eat?"

Hearing this, the chief should have said, "Naturally, the branch will be relocated!" ”

That's right, it's the oldest way of life.

Instead of settling down, they relied on hunting and gathering to find food.

When one place runs out of food, it migrates to other places where food is abundant.

Zhao Xiuzhu still disagreed: "What if the branch still can't be solved?" ”

"How could it not be solved?" The chief said angrily.

"Our ancestors did this, and we have been able to pass it on to this day!"

Zhao Xiuzhu shook his head: "That's it, I'll tell you the sixth law." ”

In the previous communication, Zhao Xiuzhu realized that the other party actually had a lot of living habits that derailed Datang.

Even meat needs to rely on hunting, rather than raising livestock and birds.

But how easy is it to get them to break these thousand-year-old habits for a while?

Therefore, Zhao Xiuzhu can only prepare for a protracted battle.

"This sixth method is the most difficult and the most effective!"

After listening to He Xiang's relay, the chief immediately raised his spirits.

Although in his eyes, many of Zhao Xiuzhu's plans are unreliable.

such as digging fields into ponds; Another example is the breeding of chickens and ducks.

But there are also some options that he thinks are worth learning from.

For example, biological treatment of locusts.

Or planting trees to destroy their roots.

The locusts have no place to lay eggs, and future generations will not be able to survive, so naturally there will be no threat.

"Tell me about it, what exactly is this sixth method?"

The chief urged.

But Zhao Xiuzhu said unhurriedly: "I have a poison that only works against locusts. ”

"If it is sprayed on the environment where the locusts are, it will poison all the locusts to the ground."

"In this way, we will be able to destroy a large number of locusts at once."

Hearing this, the chief was interested.

"What kind of poison is it, tell me."

Zhao Xiuzhu scratched his head and said, "Now I can't tell." ”

Hearing this, the chief frowned and said, "Why can't you say it?" ”

"The recipe for the poison and the method of refining it are all recorded in one book."

"I was carrying the book, but instead of arresting me, you threw it away!"

"Then where can I remember the recipe for the locust poison?"

Zhao Xiuzhu complained lightly.

Hearing this, the chief immediately said, "I'll let them find it for you!" ”
