Li Yi is on his way to Lantian County to see the situation and think of ways to deal with it later.

The people of Luoyang were grateful to Li Yi, and no one said that he was a prodigal son.

When harvesting wheat, bundles of wheat were scooped out with the wheat-cutting artifact, and more locusts crawled into the ground.

The people finally knew what it was, a locust plague.

There are a lot of locusts, and a lot of them have been caught. If we don't catch them, more will appear in a few days.

But there was a rich fool who came over early in the morning with chickens, ducks and pigs and exchanged eggs for grasshoppers.

Everyone has seen that chickens and ducks eat grasshoppers and lay more eggs, and pigs eat locusts and grow faster.

Then everyone went to change eggs, changed chickens and ducks a few days ago, and also learned artificial incubation.

Only when the wheat was cut and the ground underneath and the dense locusts were exposed did we realize how dangerous it was.

What if you don't exchange a lot of poultry and know how to catch locusts?

Now……

Now there are a large number of chickens and ducks running in the fields around Luoyang City, and the farmers have released the chickens and ducks.

The people in the front are harvesting wheat, while the chickens and ducks behind are flapping their wings, grabbing high and pecking low to eat the locusts.

As long as the locust flies lower, it is guaranteed to be picked up by the chicken.

The ducks stretched their necks, lowered their heads, flattened their beaks, flapped their wings, and kept running up and down in the field on two legs, eating every one they encountered.

He bumped his head against the person's leg, ignored it, and continued to catch locusts.

Some of the chickens and ducks that had not been replaced followed behind. After running two steps, they fell over, turned over, and cooperated with each other to eat a locust.

The locusts were too big for the chickens, and one of them couldn't eat them. Several of them rushed up, grabbed each chicken in their mouths, and tore them apart with a strong backward movement.

"Don't step on the chickens and ducks, they will grow up." The man hired by the farmer to herd the chickens and ducks followed him with a net bag, shouting to attract attention.

The two Bigou brothers stood at the edge of the field, letting the grasshoppers fall on them without doing anything.

A chick with yellow feathers ran over, looked up at a locust on Bi Gou's body, and chirped anxiously.

Bi Gou took one look, grabbed the locust and threw it to the ground. The chicken rushed up and couldn't swallow it. It refused to listen and wanted to crush it.

Another chick ran over next to it, and they looked at it and took it in their mouths together. After a few times, the locust was broken into pieces, and the two chicks ate it, and then turned around to look for it again.

"Brother, it's obviously a locust plague, why can I see the joyful atmosphere among the people here?"

Bi Xu looked at the people grinning and avoiding the little yellow-feathered chickens and yellow-feathered ducks, and always felt that it was very inconsistent.

Still looking at the labor scene, Bi Gou said: "They saw hope. After discovering that locusts could be used to feed poultry and livestock, they considered how to catch more locusts.

Common people can also calculate the incubation period of chickens and ducks, and know that a batch of chicks will be produced every two days, and a batch of ducklings will be produced every month.

Ducks eat many more locusts than chickens. Now is the harvest. After the harvest, there are a lot of locusts in the fields.

They used fire to lure them at night and captured them during the day. Then there were more than 70,000 chickens and ducks of all sizes eating.

According to folk wisdom, chickens and ducks have intestinal tracts. When they eat, they poop, and the fertilizer falls into the ground. "

When Bi Gou spoke, a smiling young man appeared in his mind.

When he first came here, he was called a fool, but now the people who called him wished they could kowtow to him in front of the boy.

Without even saying hello, the people ran away, leaving only a hundred dealers behind.

Bixu was still in a daze. Everything happened so fast, less than a month.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a chicken laying an egg, and immediately a child ran over with a basket.

The basket was covered with straw. The child carefully picked up the eggs and put them in the basket. He didn't dare to run anymore and walked to the side step by step.

There are many large baskets placed next to them, also covered with wheat straw, and eggs and duck eggs are placed in them.

The hired people help watch and keep count, collect ten eggs, and give the child a small bamboo sign.

Bi Xu knew that with this sign he could get a chicken or duck.

The locusts are flying, the wheat is harvesting, and the children are looking for each other. It seems so harmonious.

"What kind of person is Li Yi?" Bi Xu thought hard, but found that he couldn't figure it out and couldn't put it on someone else for Li Yi.

Li Yi seems to be different from everyone else. According to his brother, he was sent by His Majesty.

"We will inquire after my brother enters Chang'an. He agreed to give me three ceramic teeth with gold cores. He also promised to build a separate courtyard for me in Zhuangzi."

Bi Gou said it with a smile. He believed that Li Yi was not joking.

"Are they going to take these chickens and ducks back?" Bi Xu didn't think much about the matter in Chang'an and began to think about transportation issues.

"Since he has taught the method of artificial incubation, he is naturally more proficient. How come Zhuangzi is tossing it back and forth? He must sell it.

In addition to the toilet water, soap and other things he sold in the past few days, he not only did not lose money during the trip, but actually made several times the profit. "

Bi Gou calculated the ratio of locust eggs to babies, as well as the approximate number of eggs laid and the number of hatchings.

I came to the conclusion that if Li Yi took the chickens, ducks and pigs, he would get back four to five times the money after selling them.

The officials will say good things about him, and the bankers are always thinking of ways to give benefits to the officials.

The people said he was good. They had more chickens and ducks to raise, and they also learned the techniques of hatching and using grasshoppers to feed poultry and pigs to grow faster.

Amid the praise, his bankers will return home with a full harvest.

Compared with Bi Gou who considered the overall situation, the people were much simpler. They only knew that the grasshoppers they pricked could be exchanged for eggs, duck eggs, and chicks and ducks.

In their eyes, grasshoppers are readily available and worthless, while chickens and ducks are the good stuff.

As long as the grasshoppers don't eat the wheat, they will start catching them in large numbers after the harvest is over.

At the same time, they discovered an interesting thing. In the past, when it was harvest time, birds would always come to eat the wheat, but now the birds all went to eat the locusts.

So in harmony, the wheat was harvested, and soon someone brought threshing equipment and threshed the wheat grains.

At this time, there is no need to rush to shell out the wheat or rice. Wheat or rice can be stored for a longer period of time if it has an outer shell.

Flour and rice have a short shelf life and can cause insects.

The harvested grain stalks were used to make fires in the past, but now they are left to see if they are compostable or mixed into green storage in the fall and fed to livestock together. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

Even if they knew it could be burned in the fields to fertilize the fields, they would not do it.

Because of composting technology, the compost is better than burning it directly.

Bi Gou left with his hands behind his back amid the flying locusts. There was nothing left to see. Henan Prefecture's food supply would not have any problems this year.

And in the future, people will no longer be afraid of locusts. They have found ways to deal with them, including how to convince themselves to catch locusts.

God's power and the locust god all stood aside in front of eggs and duck eggs.

"Brother, will you still collect this year's summer rent?" B Xu thought of another question.

"Henan Prefecture will take it from other locust-infested places. If others don't take it, why should Henan Prefecture take it?" Bi Gou gave the answer.
