What Du Ruhui said is also what many ministers think.

The terrible locusts have always been considered to be punished by heaven.

And who would associate the grasshoppers that can be found everywhere on the lawn with it?

If it weren't for Xu Fenglei breaking down his origin, Kong Yingda's statement would probably occupy the mainstream forever!

"In fact, to brew a terrible locust plague, it is necessary to meet the three conditions of time, place, and people at the same time!"

Xu Fenglei turned the court meeting into his own small lecture hall for popular science, and said loudly,

"When the time comes, it's a drought!"

"Locusts love heat, and in the scorching summer, they are extremely cheerful, and they can fly up and down unscrupulously and gather in swarms!"

"The location is the environment for locusts to breed!"

"In the hot and rainless environment, the riverbed is bare, and that part of the moist soil is exposed, which is a good place for locusts to lay eggs. In addition, this winter is a warm winter, and there has been no snow to freeze the eggs in the soil. The combination of the two has led to a multiplication of locusts! ”

"And people, because in the dry season, the grass and vegetation are concentrated in places with surplus water, such as streams, lakes, etc., which makes grasshoppers form conditions for dense reproduction and growth."

The ministers listened attentively.

Li Shimin also listened very carefully, like a good student.

The knowledge that Xu Fenglei said was something they had never heard of, and it was impossible to find it in ancient books!

Lang Zhong in the corner of the Liangyi Hall worked hard to write down Xu Fenglei's words word for word.

These words, for the Tang Dynasty, for future generations...... It's a precious asset!

"Then the question is, what will grasshoppers look like if they gather together on a large scale, squeeze and rub against each other?"

Xu Fenglei raised the restless grasshopper in his hand and pointed at it,

"Look!"

"It's going to be like this, it's evolving in the direction of locusts!"

"Once they have evolved from grasshoppers to locusts, they have transformed from solitary insects into social insects, which were once their natural enemies. Such as frogs, pheasants, wild ducks, egrets, etc., can no longer help them! ”

"The locust plague was formed."

"You get it, right?"

After that, he subconsciously wanted to look for a water cup to drink, but after looking around and not finding it, he suddenly realized-

He did not teach in the East Palace, but in the Liangyi Palace.

"Young Master, give."

The eunuch on the side hurriedly brought a cup of tea and said respectfully,

"Your Majesty gives you a cup of tea."

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows and looked up at Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin was also turning his eyes to him at this moment, and his expression was full of approval.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

"Good, good, good!"

Li Er applauded and praised,

"The young master deserves to be a young master, and he is really well-informed!"

"In my opinion, you can afford the word 'doctor'! Well-informed! ”

Goo-dong, goo-dong.

Xu Fenglei drank all the tea and said:

"Your Majesty has praised it."

"The minister is just observant and likes to think."

"There are countless things under the sky, we all know them but don't know why they are, and this is nothing in itself, just actively explore."

But if you don't use your brain and don't care, you will classify it as metaphysics, lead it to strange talk, and even blame one person for all kinds of misfortunes...... Nachen really can't agree. ”

Kong Yingda's old face turned red, and he looked a little embarrassed.

As soon as Xu Fenglei's popular science came out, his "Heaven and Man Induction Theory" was buried in the soil and swept into the garbage heap.

It's a little unpleasant, but there's no way to refute it......

"Well said!"

Li Shimin agreed,

"Everything in heaven and earth has its own reason!"

"See, observe, and think about it, and you may be able to understand the principle."

"For example, this locust, it must be the young master's patient observation and repeated thinking that made it completely manifest its original form!"

"Worthy of commendation!"

"Come on, give 500 horses of silk, and send it to the Duke of Xu Guo's mansion immediately!"

"Yes."

The eunuch beside him took the order and left.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Fenglei bowed his hand.

Li Shimin smiled, held his hand and said:

"Listen, since this locust is a grasshopper, how to deal with it, do you know?"

He is in a good mood now, at least the pot of locust plague can't be thrown off his head Li Er!

However, Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"It's not good to govern."

He said in a deep voice,

"The plague of locusts can be prevented, but it is difficult to treat."

"At the beginning of the year, the minister told His Majesty that there will be no snow this year, or there will be drought and locust plagues."

"The two often come together and wreak havoc on the crops."

"If you want to prevent it, the time is uncontrollable, you can only start from the right place, people and two places, and strangle it in the cradle before it is formed!"

Li Shimin's smile was restrained, and his face sank.

"For example, raise poultry and make them walk between the fields in search of insect eggs and eat them."

Xu Fenglei enumerated,

"Another example is nurturing. To protect the natural enemies of locusts, the people are ordered not to hunt wild frogs, yellow finch, lizards and other creatures, as long as they are allowed to form a certain scale in the wild, the reproduction of locusts can be suppressed. ”

"In addition, according to the biological habits of locusts, more trees can be planted in low-terrain areas to destroy their habitats."

"These methods are multi-pronged, even if they can't kill the locusts, they can make it impossible to become a climate, and a few grasshoppers are really just grasshoppers, and they can never turn into locusts and harm the world!"

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Write it down, write it all down!"

He hurriedly commanded,

"Back to Your Majesty, it has all been recorded, not a word has been missed."

On the side, Shulang confidently held the pen and said in a positive way.

"Okay, let's control the locusts in another year, just follow the young master's strategy, these few rules must all be implemented in place!"

Li Shimin said solemnly,

"I hope that the world will never be plagued by locusts again!"

"Your Majesty." The ministers sang in unison.

"Listen, you just said that the locusts are not being cured, so the current situation ......"

Li Shimin looked at Xu Fenglei again and said earnestly,

"Can't even you?"

No matter how good the locust control strategy is, it belongs to the future.

The current plague of locusts is the urgent need!

If it is not solved, there will be a large number of disaster victims in Guanzhong!

"Back to Your Majesty."

Xu Fenglei said helplessly,

"The locust plague has become a climate, and the minister doesn't have a good strategy in his heart at the moment."

"Maybe your colleagues can have an opinion?"

He gestured to the ministers behind him.

Li Shimin followed his fingers and looked at Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there a solution?"

Li Shimin choked his wrists and said,

"I can't just watch the people of my Tang Dynasty become victims by a locust plague!"

"If anyone can give an effective way to travel, I would like to thank him with the body of the Son of Heaven!"
