Chapter 683 New Pest Control Method Honey Shortage

"Selling newspapers. It's hot after rain and there are many mosquitoes. Don't drink boiled water. Be careful of mosquito bites. If you get malaria, you can go to the medical center to take free medicine."

"We are selling newspapers. Soak plant ash in water, preferably 1:5, for a day and a night. Spray it on the vegetable leaves to prevent insects."

At dawn after the rain, the newsboy was running and shouting.

For a time, people who grew vegetables at home searched for plant ashes and soaked them in water.

Those who had less vegetation and ashes went to other people's homes to ask for them, and some even simply burned them themselves.

"It turns out that this method can prevent insects. I'll try it. If it works well, it should be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty."

In the political hall, Yao Chong looked at the newspaper in his hand, focusing on the matter of plant ash soaking in water.

"Plant ash itself can be used as fertilizer. It is added when retting. It has good effect when used in the ground. When the plant ash water falls into the ground, it will not damage the ground."

Yao Chong went on to talk about other functions of plant ash. Soaking plant ash in water and spraying it on vegetables can kill two birds with one stone.

"Such a good idea was only brought out now, so he can't remember it." Zhang said that he felt helpless towards Li Yi sometimes.

How come we didn’t talk about using plant ash soaked in water to kill insects two years ago? It must have been unexpected.

When something happens, you need inspiration, and then you can find a solution.

Lu Huaishen had a smile on his face: "Xiao Yi has worked very hard, at least the malaria is not cured. Where malaria occurs, once... it is infected, it will be a group of people."

Lu Huaishen learned a new term, infection.

He also learned how to be infected. People in the past did not understand that if someone in an area gets malaria, many people will get it.

Now I understand, it was written in the newspaper that after a mosquito bites a person with malaria, if it bites other people, other people will get malaria.

Newspapers write about various types of malaria, including the incubation period and symptoms.

The common people themselves know about the death of people. If one of three people gets malaria, it is considered good to survive.

The treatment method is to take a handful of Artemisia annua, soak it in cold water, and then drink the juice.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

"It must be mugwort. Lijiazhuangzi collected a lot of mugwort this year. In addition to making mosquito coils, the others are used to make big honey pills."

Yao Chong guessed that Li Yi used mugwort to treat malaria from Li Jiazhuangzi's behavior and the prescriptions recorded in medical books.

Li Yi had a good way to make the sometimes difficult-to-use prescriptions work.

Lu Huaishen still smiled: "Xiao Yi also taught everyone to raise bumblebees. After collecting the honey, Zhuangzi bought it. The court no longer allows incense makers to use honey to make incense."

"Long Ze should have a headache." Zhang said.

Lijiazhuangzi sold the large honey pills used to treat malaria to the imperial court at its own cost, and the imperial household department paid for them and gave them to the people free of charge.

If this disease is not treated, it will really kill people, and it can also be transmitted to others after being bitten by mosquitoes.

At present, it is only available to the people within the Jingzhao Mansion. When the quantity increases, it will be distributed to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the newspaper will re-write some of the content that has been written before to let the people know the situation, especially to prevent mosquitoes.

The method of making mosquito-repellent incense has been spread to the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and the state capitals called on the people to collect mugwort.

"Xiao Yi helps the Ministry of Revenue make money and spend money. It is really not easy for Long to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Lu Huaishen began to feel sorry for Bi Gou.

Yao Chong laughed: "Long Ze now has one hope and one fear. He hopes that Li Yi will make something that can make a lot of money and sell it, but he is afraid that Li Yi will think of a place to spend money."

Bi Gou, who was talked about by three people, was distressed in his office.

"A large honey pill costs ten yuan. A person suffering from malaria may not necessarily take a few large honey pills to recover. How much honey was used? Why is the price so high?"

Bi Gou felt that Li Yiduo wanted money, and the agreed cost price was ten yuan per pill.

He couldn't see in person how to make the big honey pill to treat malaria, so Zhuangzi kept it a secret.

People in the Tang Dynasty eat it for free. If you want treatment elsewhere, just pay.

For example, for the Tubo slave owners, other matters were easy to negotiate, and they could basically wait to die if they got malaria.

Once there is a drug that can treat it, dozens of pills must be kept at home.

"To raise bumblebees, we must vigorously promote the breeding of bumblebees. The imperial court has issued an order to make raising bumblebees compulsory to reduce costs."

After Bi Gou was sad for a moment, he thought of a good idea.

He began to write a memorial, requiring that one out of every ten households in all counties in the Tang Dynasty must keep bumble bees.

People who keep bees are exempt from mediocrity in the local area.

When the tax promotion is over, other people will be exempted, but beekeepers will still be exempted.

At the same time, there is a limit on how much honey beekeepers need to hand over. If the requirements are not met, the amount will be calculated based on the quantity, and the amount will be supplemented by mediocrity and harmony.

After he finished writing, he thought about it and wrote a poem at the same time, which was sent to Lijiazhuangzi.

He is scared now and will automatically consider Li Yi when he has an idea.

One asked Li Yi to help check for deficiencies, and the other asked Li Yi if there was any better way.

Li Yi received the letter at noon and gave the official who delivered the letter a piece of soap.

He unfolded the letter and wrote: Jingzhao was not under the jurisdiction of the government, and there was a beekeeper from every ten households. The missing parts are filled with new ones, and the malaria honey pills have a strong taste.

Li Yi curled his lips: "I'm free, I have to write this bullshit jingle for a one-sentence matter."

Li Chengqi was there and took it over to take a look: "Bi Gou is afraid of spending money. If you give him ten yuan per pill, he thinks it's expensive."

"Is there any cheap honey? Artemisia doesn't need to be purchased and processed. Our labor cost is high." Li Yi didn't think it was expensive.

Zhuangzi does not count the labor cost. The material cost of a large honey pill is seven yuan, plus three yuan for labor.

This money is considered a profit by Zhuangzi, not counting the labor costs. The farmers have to eat.

"Is it feasible to implement Bi Gou's method in local areas?" Li Chengqi wanted to know if the method was useful.

"If we force the allocation, there will be problems in the end. Our goal is to collect honey, not to give the people a task that cannot be done wrong."

Li Yi hated the court's order to force the people to raise native bees.

He then said: "If we calculate it by household, there are many people in large families. If we set a fixed amount for each household and reduce the tax, the court will suffer."

"The tax has not been promoted, and other places still cannot cancel the tax. If we compare it with the number of people, should it be possible?"

Li Chengqi thought that it would not work if it was calculated by household, so he changed it to calculating by person.

He thought about it and said: "Or use honey to exchange for the tax."

Li Yi remembered that the snake catcher said that using poisonous snakes to exchange taxes is similar to using honey to exchange for the tax, but the difference is that native bees are not so poisonous.

"Just collect the honey directly. As long as the price is right, merchants will find ways to raise native bees, and merchants will lead the way.

The method of raising native bees has been spread. People build nests in places with many flowers nearby.

Then sell them to merchants, and merchants send them to Chang'an. It is obviously an economic matter, but they have to talk about administration."

Li Yi opposed complicating simple issues. It was pure nonsense.

"If you buy, the price will be high." Li Chengqi could understand Bi Gou's thoughts.

"The higher the price, the more people will raise them. When there are more, the price can be lower. Once you start raising native bees, it is not troublesome. If you want to sell them, you can sell them. If you don't want to sell them, you can keep them for your own consumption."

Li Yi wants to regulate through the market. If everyone raises them together, the price will drop.

It only costs one more year's money, and there will be cheap honey every year in the future.

People will raise them. It doesn't make money, but they can eat them themselves, which is good for their health.

"There are many flowers in the south, and there are flowers in Shu all year round." Li Chengqi thought it was okay.

"I'll write a reply to Lao Bi." Li Yi went to find paper and pen.
