As the saying goes, when locusts cross the border, not a single grass grows.

Liujia Village and Shenjia Village are separated by a long river, and next to Shenjia Village is Huaxi Village.

Not far apart.

Feng Yun himself has a large field and is in Huaxi Village, so he can't help but feel chills in his heart.

She wanted to take a look, but the sun was getting bigger, and it would be very hot in the village, and it was inconvenient to take Yuan Shangyi with her, so she pressed her emotions and smiled at He Chuandong.

"There is news, He Jun sent someone to Huaxi Village to inform him."

He Chuandong arched his hand, "Yes." ”

"Do you want to see it?" Yuan Shangyi turned his head sideways, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Feng Yun sensed his careful thoughts.

Because she wanted to go, he was willing to go with her.

"Does A-Yuan want to go too?"

Yuan Shangyi nodded.

Feng Yun said: "But it's too hot, isn't A-Yuan afraid of the sun?" ”

When He Chuandong saw the little emperor's pale face, he felt frightened, and then said: "The princess is right, the heat is heavy outside, and Your Majesty's body is not yet well, so it's better not to go out." ”

This statement is the same as those in the palace.

Yuan Shangyi's brows furrowed suddenly, looking at Feng Yun.

"I want to go."

He Chuandong was anxious, and wanted to stop it again, but saw Feng Yun smiling and nodding.

"Okay, let's have lunch and go together."

-

In the afternoon, Feng Yun and He Qia met at the city gate.

He Qia, like his son, was also frightened by Feng Yun and the little emperor, but he reacted better than He Chuandong, and quickly calmed down after making a salute.

The emperor rode in an ox cart, and of course he could not ride in a carriage with a history of assassination.

He Qia motioned to the entourage, drove the carriage back, and took his son to sit in Feng Yun's ox cart.

He Qia gave a general account of the situation reported by Li Zheng, and couldn't help sighing.

"It's really a disaster, just after the snow disaster, and there are locusts."

To make matters worse, He Qia was so worried that he couldn't care about the etiquette in front of the emperor, and kept patting his head.

"With such a big snowfall, didn't the eggs freeze to death?"

Feng Yun pondered for a moment, "The locust eggs are laid an inch below the ground, and the snow cover is conducive to the locusts overwintering, and when the snow melts, the moisture in the soil increases, and the locusts hatch ......."

She spoke eloquently.

He Qia was impressed.

"The princess knows a lot about the affairs of the Zhuang family."

Feng Yun smiled slightly, "It's all from the book." It's not a ...... on paper."

He Qia's hair turned gray, and when he met someone who could "talk on paper", he was like a drowning person to driftwood, and he grabbed her and didn't let go.

"Then the princess, do you know what is a good way to cure insects?"

Feng Yun said: "When you get to Liujia Village, let's take a look." ”

He Qia smiled and responded.

When the two of them spoke, Yuan Shangyi didn't interject, just like an obedient child of an ordinary family, listening silently.

Although he doesn't understand it very well, he likes the princess's omnipotent appearance......

When he was in the palace, the Empress Dowager Duan was in constant fear year after year, and the negative emotions brought to the young Yuan Shangyi also developed his current temperament.

Therefore, the calm and calm Feng Yun can bring him a great sense of security.

Yuan Shangyi secretly held Feng Yun's hand......

Feng Yun glanced down and gave him the water bladder.

Seeing the way his eyelashes trembled when he drank water, the feeling of indebtedness to Qu'er came to his heart again......

Qu'er followed her, an incompetent mother, is she also like Yuan Shangyi, worried, frightened, and restless?

If she could protect her children well, how could she end up like that......

It can't be made up anymore.

Those regrets turned into a torn scar, which continued to spread in his heart, and Feng Yun's eyes deepened, and the sadness could be seen.

Yuan Shangyi sensed something, raised his head, looked at her, and suddenly reached out and stroked Feng Yun's brow.

"The lady doesn't frown, you see, I drink obediently."

Feng Yun came back to his senses and smiled.

"I frowned when I thought of locusts, and it has nothing to do with A-Yuan."

Yuan Shangyi sighed, and suddenly stared at the wheel in a daze.

"Lady, look ......"

Feng Yun turned his head, but before he could speak, He Qia had already raised his voice.

"Locust ......"

Yuan Shangyi said: "Is this a grasshopper?" ”

When he lived in the White Horse Temple before, he also saw grasshoppers in the courtyard, he was not very afraid, and even a little curious.

Looking at the child's curiosity, Feng Yun stretched out his hand, caught the locust with a handkerchief, and pointed at it in He Qia's stunned gaze and said:

"Grasshoppers are locusts, but locusts are not grasshoppers. Usually what we call grasshoppers, herbivorous, do not like to migrate, do not like swarming, and do less harm to crops. Locusts are of the same kind, but not the same species. You see, it's big, it's round, it's big, it's big, it'......s big, it'

Speaking of this, she glanced at the little emperor.

"Grasshoppers don't eat their own kind, but locusts choose to eat their own kind to save themselves when they have no food source."

Yuan Shangyi's face turned white when he heard this.

Feng Yun trampled the locusts to death in the ox cart lightly, threw them out, and said lightly: "In order not to be eaten by the same kind, the more locusts there are, the faster they travel. Only then did the locusts cross the border, covering the sky and the sun, and the red land was thousands of miles away......"

"Then why cluster?"

"To reproduce and survive."

If there is a question, there will be an answer.

Yuan Shangyi likes this knowledgeable princess more and more.

"The lady knows more than the Taifu."

Feng Yun looked at him and said, "I only know this by reading books." If Ah Yuan likes it, you can often come to my Zhuangzi to read books......"

Yuan Shangyi already knows a lot of words, but there are all the books in the palace, and there are not so many miscellaneous books and idle books to read.

He liked these things by nature, and immediately nodded heavily.

"The lady went back and said to Lin Nushi, I can come to you from time to time."

Feng Yun said: "Okay." ”

It was really hot in Liujia Village, but the farmers did not stay in the house, but drove and killed locusts in the field.

Wearing straw hats and facing the scorching sun, adults, children, and the elderly, the whole family went out.

The chief led several elders in the village to set up an altar in the village to worship the gods and pray for the blessing of eliminating the locust plague.

Feng Yun took Yuan Shangyi out of the car, took him to a big tree with a lush canopy to rest and cool off, and instructed Xiao Man and the guards to watch, and walked to the ground with He Qia.

Locusts in the fields are a normal thing, as long as they don't swarm in groups.

However, villagers say that the number of locusts this year is significantly higher than in previous years. They had been hunting for three days, and the number was still not decreasing, so they had to take out the guys and drive them away......

Feng Yun actually didn't agree with the method of expulsion.

It's nothing more than going from village to village.

The lieutenant washed his hands by the well, and walked over to He Qia is bow of his head.

"Thorn Shijun, you have to help us figure out a way. The crops are all eaten, and the whole village has no way to live. ”

Liujia Village, like Shenjia Village, is named after the surname and lives in a group, and the people in the whole village are surnamed Liu, all of whom are relatives, and if they suffer from a locust plague, they can't find a place to borrow grain......

He Qia doesn't know much about farming.

But when he heard about the terrible locust plague, he listened to Feng Yun again, and he was also so anxious that his head was full of sweat.

"I'm trying to figure it out, I'm trying to figure it out."

He was also on fire.

In the past, he was a military general, and he only went into battle to kill the enemy.

The locust plague has been an agricultural problem since ancient times, and whoever encounters it is unlucky, except for hunting and killing, he can't think of any good way......

So the eyes of asking for help fell on Feng Yun's face.

Li Zhengshang didn't know that the woman holding the child was Princess Yonghuai, and the child who stopped to watch under the shade of the tree was the king of a country.

He only thought that Feng Yun was He Qia's family, took a look, and said to He Qia:

"This year, the price of grain has risen again, and every household in the village has no surplus grain...... Alas, it would be nice if it was like Huaxi Village, with farm tools, clothing, pottery kilns, and various workshops, even if you can't grow crops, you won't be hungry......"

He Qia smiled awkwardly.

"Liu Lizheng can go to Huaxi and learn from them."

The chief shook his head, "In this world, how can there be anyone who doesn't hide his selfishness, and no one can teach others the capital to eat, besides, they all go to the workshop, won't there be no one to plant this field?" ”

It sounded very reasonable, and He Qia could only laugh.

Food is dangerous, not only Liu Lichang, as a governor, He Qia is actually more worried than him......

Feng Yun suddenly spoke: "At the moment, the locusts are not dense, so there are more chickens, ducks and geese in the village, right?" There are locusts, which can save the food to be fed......"

The lieutenant shook his head and glanced at her with some contempt.

"Madame doesn't know, there are too many insects, and ducks can't eat them......"

Feng Yun smiled slightly, "That is, there are not enough ducks." ”

She said more, the kind of "many" in groups, not a few or dozens in the eyes of the chief.

Feng Yun turned his head to He Qia and said, "Assassin Shijun may call on duck farmers in various counties and counties to organize an army of duck breeders to jointly exterminate locusts?" ”

At that time, people liked to eat duck meat, and all the counties of Shinshu were near the water, and there were large duck breeders everywhere. If one is not enough, what about ten, what about hundred?

Duck breeders need food to feed, which is expensive, while locusts don't want money.

If there is a call from the government to give a little more subsidy, it will definitely be rushed.

He Qia's eyes lit up, "Maybe you can give it a try, thank you for the princess's advice." ”

Only then did Liu Lichang know that the person in front of him was Princess Yonghuai, or Li Zheng of Huaxi Village, thinking of what Fang just said, his face was red, and he kept accusing him.

Feng Yun shook his head with a smile, disappreciating, and under the leadership of the lieutenant chief, he walked around the village and left with He Qia.

When she returned to Huaxi, she called a few chiefs and chiefs to discuss matters under the big locust tree.

Huaxi Village is separated from Liujia Village by a long river, and I don't know about locusts yet, but several of them are old farmers, and their faces turned white when they heard it.

"Lizheng lady, we have to do prevention as soon as possible."

Feng Yun nodded.

But in addition to raising ducks, she couldn't think of a good way at the moment, so she reminded the farmers and plunged into the study.

She cherishes books.

The storage of the human brain is limited.

Books are limitless.

She wanted to dig out a useful cure for locusts from the book.

However, from ancient times to the present, locust things have been difficult. I kept seeing it in the middle of the night, and I didn't have a clue. Early the next morning, she called Xing Dalang, spent some money on the account, and bought batches of ducklings.

In the pond, lotus flowers are blooming.

The ducklings swing in rows and plunge into the water, and their furry fur is extremely cute.

Yuan Shangyi lay on the other side of the flower wall and watched, and slipped away to Zhuangzi with Dong Bai.

Lin Nushi was full of anger, but she was warned by Feng Yun yesterday, so she could only carry an umbrella and a water bladder, and lead a few servants to follow her out.

As soon as she reached the pond, before she could speak, she almost fainted......

On the side of the little emperor, is the big guy a cat, a tiger or a leopard?

With such a big head, Princess Yonghuai not only didn't rush, but actually allowed a dangerous thing to get close to Your Majesty? (End of chapter)
