"That's right." Li Wenchong said, "Brother Can and the others are children after all, so they are not very careful in their consideration. What should be done in detail, the emperor still needs to help me solve the problem."
Emperor Mingguang glared at him.
Li Wenchong didn't care and continued, "When it comes to raising chickens and ducks, I suddenly remembered that Qingling once mentioned to me that hatching eggs does not necessarily require hens, as long as the temperature is appropriate, it can also be hatched manually. Manual hatching is much easier than hatching hens, and a room can hatch a lot..."
Balabala, start introducing it.
Li Wenchong is not very clear about how to operate it.
But who told him to go to those farms in Gu Qingling?
Therefore, he still knows how to use fire pits to hatch chicks.
After hearing what Li Wenchong said, Emperor Mingguang was very surprised: "Can you hatch chicks like this? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Li Wenchong nodded: "I just saw it, so I said that. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't dare to tell my elder brother, right? If the emperor brother doesn't believe it, I will go back and talk to Qingling and ask her to borrow a few professional talents to the emperor brother. The emperor brother will know it if he tries it. It only takes more than twenty days to hatch the chickens, and in less than a month, the results can be tested. No matter how full the words are, it is more convincing without practice."
"You..." Since marrying that woman, she has been talking more and more.
Emperor Mingguang laughed.
However, what Li Wenchong said did indeed make Emperor Mingguang feel worried.
If Gu Qingling's method could really solve the problem of egg hatching and chickens were the nemesis of locusts, they might really be able to solve the problem to some extent.
Although Emperor Mingguang did not believe that chicken storage could solve the locust plague, he was satisfied to play a certain role to some extent.
After returning, Li Wenchong told Gu Qingling about this and sent the person to the palace.
On the other hand, the new issue of "Baowu Zhibao" was released and appeared in the hands of thousands of households.
When they saw the locust control measures mentioned in the newspaper, they were shocked.
"No, right?! This way, you can kill locusts?! If it was so easy, the locust problem would have been solved long ago, and would it be their turn?"
"This is too irritating!"
"Oh... it's normal for a bunch of kids to be more whimsical."
"Oh... it would be great if it was true. If it was true, the people would not have to suffer like this."
...
Few people believe the contents in the newspaper.
Think about it, that's the locust plague. The locust plague that no one can solve for thousands of years can be solved with just a few words from the prince and grandson?
impossible.
Of course, some people don’t believe it, and some people think carefully about the questions raised above.
Assuming the above plan is feasible, in the reverse way, if you want to eliminate locusts, they only need...
First, look for the address where the locusts hatch - the mudflat.
This is easy to solve. Just go to a locust plague and find a suitable location, open it and take a look.
If it is true, then this one can be considered.
Secondly, destroy the food chain of locusts.
What do locusts eat?
It must be a crop, otherwise the locusts would not turn into locust plagues.
So while it is small, replace all the edible plants around it with food that it cannot eat. If it cannot eat enough and wears warm clothes, wouldn't it be able to grow up?
Again, start with the locust nemesis.
...
After reading one by one, the more you look at it, the more you feel it makes sense.
Xun Yuanjia hated the locusts to death.
He grew up listening to stories about locust plagues since he was a child, and he heard his grandparents tell how many people died when the locust plague occurred.
If it weren't for the locust plague, his grandmother wouldn't have become an orphan.
If his grandmother hadn't met his grandfather, she would have starved to death.
Although there is no major locust plague every year in the area where they live, locusts flood from time to time, and crops that destroy the fields occur from time to time.
They did not starve to death, but rely entirely on the bark and wild vegetables. They ate whatever they had and the few leftover food, so they could get over it.
It can make them suffer every once in a while.
Xing Yuanjia had long wanted to solve the problem of locusts and had studied a lot of research. Therefore, when he saw the plan to eliminate locusts mentioned in the "Baowuzhi Daily", his eyes lit up immediately.
Before dawn, he took the newspaper and the guy who turned the ground out.
"Second, where are you going?"
When Yuki's father, who also got up early, saw it, he looked puzzled.
"It's okay, I'll go out."
Xunfather thought his son was working in the fields, and wanted his son to wait for him and go out together.
As a result, Yuki Yuanjia said that he had something else, not going to the field.
Xun's father was confused. Why did he hold a hoe that turned over the ground?
By noon, Xing's father met Mr. Liu at the village entrance.
Mr. Liu said, "I saw your son go to the river beach outside the village early in the morning... What did he do there? You don't have to bring a hoe to catch fish, right?"
When Xun's father heard this, he became even more confused.
As soon as he returned home, Xing's father saw Xing Yuanjia running back in mud.
"Dad, I'll show you something."
"What?" Xunfu lowered his head and saw the mud in his son's arms. "Why did you dig so much mud?"
"Dad, have you seen these white things? Guess what this is?" Yuki Yuanjia's eyes shined.
“What is it?”
"It's the eggs of the locust." Xing Yuanjia said, "The newspaper said that the eggs of the locust were laid in the mud on the mud flats. I didn't believe it, so I ran to dig them out. But I didn't expect that it was real... Dad, look, there is a female locust next to it. I accidentally killed it when I dug the dredge."
Good father: "…"
He really didn't know that the locust actually lay its eggs in the mud.
Wait, aren’t locusts pests on the ground?
Shouldn't it lay eggs in the grass?
"Dad, the newspaper said that locust lay eggs and hatching eggs are the same as hens hatching eggs. It is necessary to maintain temperature. If we take advantage of the small locusts, we will turn the ground over, or change the mudflats into ponds to raise fish, and the hatching environment of locust eggs will be destroyed, and it will not hatch..."
Xunfather didn't quite understand the truth, but he understood one thing - when the hen hatched eggs, if it kept disturbing it, it would not hatch, and the good eggs turned into bad guys.
So, his son means...
I wonder if the wife instantly turns the good locust eggs into bad locust eggs before hatching?
But how could his son know that if he could turn over the ground or build a fish pond, he would definitely destroy it?
"I don't know, but I have to try it. Dad, think about it, when the hen hatches eggs, if you keep disturbing it, it won't hatch. The locust eggs are all laid in the mud and cannot escape. Then we have turned over the nest of the hen's hatching eggs. Do you think the hen can still hatch eggs?"
This...Xuefu can't say it.
If it can be destroyed, it may be useful.
But the question is, how do they know that they can destroy it by turning over the ground or setting up a fish pond?
Yuki Yuanjia couldn't explain it, it was written in the newspaper anyway.
The newspaper also said, why did it be changed to a fish pond?
Because fish also eat locust eggs.
There are also certain birds, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.
