Chapter 740 Xinbao Is Omnipotent
Xinbao's eyes were wide open, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
It seemed that there were many, many bees flying towards her eyes...
When we got closer, we realized that it was full of locusts.
These usually inconspicuous little bugs came like a terrifying army, covering the sky and covering the sun, and where they passed, not a single blade of grass grew.
"July and a half, Guanzhong Dahuang, from Guanzhong to Qingzhou, swept the capital all the way, thousands of miles of red land, grass and trees withered..."
It's July and a half, now it's the end of March! !
The expressions of Emperor Ming Pei and Yan Shirong changed drastically at the same time!
There has been a drought in Guanzhong for three years now. As the old saying goes, "There must be locusts in a long drought." Every three or four years, there will be a locust plague in Dayan, and every time it hurts the muscles and bones.
Locusts not only eat grass, trees and food, but also clothes and books. Locusts also eat people... "Floating locusts in Henan eat children among the people. Every time they come, they encircle people like poisonous arrows in heavy rain and eat them. They are all flesh and blood in an instant."
Emperor Ming Pei quickly said: "Zhao Yuanxiang's cabinet, Zhao Hubu Shangshu Shilang, Zhao Yu Denglin!!"
He pointed to Yan Shirong: "You go about this matter, and ask Chang'er to go too."
He paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ask your Sixth Uncle to follow you too!"
He still decided to give his son a chance.
The sixth prince is also at the age of getting married now, if he doesn't do errands, it's not easy to give him a title, and it's not good to get married.
Yan Shirong didn't say much, and responded directly.
Now it was almost evening, several people quickly went out of the palace to summon, Emperor Ming Pei touched his granddaughter's head, told Yuan Chenjue to take care of her, and left in a hurry.
Xinbao anxiously looked at Yeye's back, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "My wife, are there any books to teach people how to control locusts?"
Yuan Shenjue was taken aback, and he said: "There is no special one, it is mentioned in some agricultural books."
Xinbao said: "Hurry up, hurry up, Xinbao said, you write."
Even in modern society, locust plagues have never disappeared, because it is closely related to farming, so Xinbao knows a lot of techniques to control locusts.
Such as burning, such as burying, or digging and burning locust eggs.
By the way, there is also biological control of locusts! ! Use locust-eating birds to control locusts!
This is not difficult for Little Phoenix! !
Xinbao asked: "When will Daddy come back?"
Yuan Shenjue said: "I should be able to return at the end of May or early June."
Xinbao patted his little head habitually, and accidentally used a pig's trotter, and groaned in pain.
Yuan Shenjue quickly put down his pen to catch it, and blew.
Xinbao also boasted about it himself, and at the same time talked about the biological control of locusts.
Yuan Shenjue said: "It's mentioned in the "Book of Tang", can Little Phoenix do it?"
Xinbao nodded firmly: "Yes! It must be possible!"
Yuan Shenjue said: "Then you can write to your aunt and ask her to keep the birds in the south of the Yangtze River first, and they can be used at that time."
Xinbao nodded, looked at the one he wrote, and said: "Xinbao can also be used to mix soil pesticides!! Xinbao can mix more, add water and spray it into the soil, it will not hurt the crops, but it can kill locust eggs ! It can also kill a lot of bugs in the soil!!”
Yuan Shenjue said: "But there is a severe drought, so it may not be easy to get water."
Xinbao was stunned, thinking seriously.
You can also make some insecticide, put it in the fire, and kill the locusts with the smell.
Locusts can reproduce up to four or five generations a year, and it takes about 20 days to a month to hatch. Therefore, some locusts at this time are probably the ancestors of those locusts in the locust plague.
But because of the drought, locust eggs will have diapause and can survive in the soil for several years. The outside of the locust egg mass is protected by a foam-like sac wall, which keeps heat and moisturizes. After other insects die, the locust eggs are still alive and can hatch. That's why the locusts are so droughty, so the locust eggs in the soil must also be dealt with.
As Xinbao thought about it, he felt bored, his small body couldn't support his small head, and he kept tilting to one side.
Yuan Shenjue stood up, caught her crooked little head with his hands, and lowered his head and asked, "Xinbao, do you want to apply the medicine again? Besides that pill, are there any other pills?"
Xinbao opened his eyes with great effort, his eyes were foggy and lifeless, "It's okay to apply it again, you can apply it every other hour, let Dabai make some white and yellow detoxification pills, Xinbao can eat it, if they get sick If you have a high fever, you can also take a pill and send it to them."
Yuan Chen agreed.
Xinbao closed his eyes and continued to communicate with Yan Ji in the space with his consciousness.
The things in the space are easy to handle. Xinbao's original intention is to refine all the herbs like Wenwen Dan, which is easy to transport. After all, throwing a pill in can have the effect of half a load of herbs.
But in the same way, only a few pills are refined for a large cart of herbs, so many herbs need to be refined in many furnaces, and I don't know how long it will take to refine them.
The little girl was in a daze from burning, and she muttered to Yan Ji in her mind, Yan Ji was very strange... Doesn't it mean that there are many alchemy furnaces in the space? Can’t you just practice in the space? Why do you have to take it out?
Xinbao: "...??"
Under Yan Ji's guidance, she immediately found many alchemy furnaces in the space, and then found the biggest one, which was as big as a room, and put medicines into it pile by pile.
Although it is the first time I do it, I seem to be quite proficient. It feels like... I am omnipotent in my consciousness! !
Xinbao practiced two furnaces, and then fell asleep unknowingly.
Fortunately, she fell asleep and did not delay Yan Ji's work, so when Xinbao woke up in a daze, there were already a lot of pills in the space.
Before Xinbao opened his eyes, he felt a hand on his forehead, Ming Peidi's voice said: "Xinbao?"
Xinbao wanted to tell Yeye the good news quickly, but when she opened her mouth, she felt something was wrong.
His face felt numb, and he spoke as if his lips were not in control. After struggling for a long time, he finally called out indistinctly: "Yeah."
Emperor Ming Pei hugged her: "Is Xinbao okay? What's wrong?"
Xinbao reacted blankly for a while, then suddenly came to his senses, reached out and touched his face: "Xinbao's face!!"
"It's okay, it's okay," Emperor Ming Pei understood very well, and quickly comforted her: "It's not badly swollen, Yeye drove your wife away a long time ago, he didn't see it."
Xinbao breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and said, "Mirror mirror!!"
Emperor Ming Pei hurriedly asked someone to bring out the mirror for her, and Xin Bao approached nervously and took a picture.
Fortunately, it was much lighter than she imagined, at least it didn't have swollen eyes like that person's, only the small face was a little red, and the lower lip was swollen, round and red, and it looked like it was pouting. Duzui, and a little bit cute.
Xinbao heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Have you applied the snake medicine pill?"
"Apply it," Emperor Ming Pei said, "Apply it once every hour, the detoxification pill has already turned into water and feed you, and this morning I gave you another honeysuckle pill."
Xinbao nodded halfway, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "What is this morning?"
Emperor Ming Pei said helplessly: "You slept for a day and a night."
Xinbao was taken aback, then held a glimmer of hope and asked, "Then, what about brother?"
Emperor Ming Pei said: "Brothers left early in the morning."
Xinbao was stunned, and murmured: "But, Xinbao's medicine hasn't been given to brother yet!"
Emperor Ming Pei coaxed her softly: "Xinbao, don't worry, when the medicine is ready, I'll send someone to send it over."
But, before his brother left, Xinbao didn't even kiss him, hug him, and tell them to be careful!
The more Tuanzi thought about it, the sadder he became, and he choked up and said, "Yeah, why don't you wake up Xinbao, Xinbao wants to send brother away..."
Emperor Ming Pei patted her on the back: "I'll be back in a few months, and before my brother left, everyone hugged Xinbao and bid farewell to Xinbao, but Xinbao didn't know."
I don’t know, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one! !
Tuanzi lay down on his shoulder depressed.
