Chapter 355

"Fusu, what is the cause of this locust plague, it won't affect my Great Qin territory, right?"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yingzheng left Fusu alone and asked.

Although for the time being, the locust plague can be regarded as a good thing for Daqin, greatly alleviating the problem of grain shortage in Daqin, but if it really affects Daqin, resulting in a sharp decrease in the harvest in the late autumn, it will also bring a lot of losses.

Therefore, the First Emperor still couldn't help but worry.

"Father doesn't need to worry too much, as long as the origin of this locust plague is not near my Great Qin mainland, there is no need to worry too much. "

"Because the locust plague itself is very fragile, the main reason why it can cross the Mediterranean Sea and reach the coastal countries is mainly with the help of suitable air currents, similar to the hot air balloon flying with the wind. "

"And from Persian County to Daqin proper, in the middle is either the hot and unbearable Gobi, or the plateau of thousands of zhang in a hurry, and it is almost impossible for locusts to fly over. "

"On the other hand, the counties of Persia, Seleucus and Tianzhu may be affected a lot, and some preparations for the extermination of locusts are needed. "

Fusu smiled and said: "To prevent and exterminate locusts, in fact~ the method is also very simple. "

"Locusts love drought and prefer plants with low water content, so locust plagues have historically often been accompanied by major droughts. "

"And our Daqin is now building water conservancy facilities everywhere, especially the opening of the North-South Grand Canal, which has densely connected the water network, coupled with more favorable water and soil protection, has greatly weakened the possibility of locust plagues. "

Ying Zheng nodded.

The locust plague in memory and history books is indeed linked to the great drought.

In addition, locusts generally lay eggs in summer and autumn, and then break through the soil after wintering. "

Therefore, if there is heavy snow in winter, the moisture of the land increases, and the temperature drops sharply, and most of the locusts and other pests can freeze to death. "

"If the climate is relatively dry and there is no heavy snow in winter, we should pay attention to rummaging the land to find out whether there are a large number of locust eggs in it, and be prepared to prevent locust plagues. "

"In fact, one of the easiest ways to deal with locusts is to raise a large number of birds, especially ducks, which like insects the most, and a single duck can eat more than 100 locusts a day.

100,000 ducks are enough to form a new force to exterminate locusts, and most of the smaller locust plagues will be eliminated. "

"Erchen has asked the relevant departments of agriculture and forestry to mobilize hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks from various counties, and prepare to transport them to Persian counties and other locust extermination fronts to start fighting. "

Fusu said with a smile.

"I see. "

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was before the change, Daqin's grain production was insufficient, and people did not have enough to eat, so it was naturally impossible to have excess grain to feed livestock and poultry.

However, now, Daqin's grain supply is more than enough, and the price of coarse grains has been greatly reduced, and it has become possible to breed pigs, chickens and ducks.

Raising more chickens and ducks can not only improve the dining table of the people of Daqin, but also deal with pests and prevent locust plagues, which can be said to be quite cost-effective.

"Not only that, the locusts themselves are rich in nutrients, and ducks that grow up eating locusts will have strong flesh and a particularly delicious taste. "

"And locusts can also be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which can treat asthma, whooping cough and other diseases. "

"Scattered locusts can also be used as a delicacy, and when fried a little, it is a fine accompaniment to wine. "

"Now, my father can be completely relieved!"

Fusu added with a smile.

"Thanks to Fusu, you!"

Ying Zheng's face was full of relief.

If it weren't for Fusu, Daqin would not have had all kinds of high-yield crops, it would be impossible to have surplus grain to the point of headache, and it would not be possible to have such sufficient confidence.

It is absolutely the first time that the locust plague can be good news.

It also fully shows that Daqin is no longer what it used to be.

...... (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

When the news came out, the melon-eating masses in the entire Daqin soon began to talk about it.

"Have you heard, west of Persian County, there is a great plague of locusts? "

"What, locust plague, then I have to hurry up and harvest food!"

"What to rob, Persian County is thousands of miles away from Daqin proper, even if locusts can fly over, it will already be winter, and all the grain has been harvested. "

"According to the newspaper, this locust plague is a good thing for my Daqin, and it can bring back the unspeakably low grain prices. "

"Isn't it, this locust plague has affected tens of millions of people, and these people are now waiting to buy food from my Great Qin to save their lives!"

"It's really good, I was still worried before, this grain can't be sold at a price, and I don't have the strength to build a warehouse!"

"You are all born in the blessing and do not know the blessing, before the change, where did there be so many water conservancy and irrigation channels, there will be a drought in three or five years, locust plagues are not uncommon, people are dying of hunger, there is a stone of grain are rich, and now the tragedy that happened in the far west is the past when we waited!"

"That scene, when I think about it now, can make people shudder!"

"The grain warehouse is full, which is definitely the biggest expectation of us at that time!"

"Now you're so good, you don't even want to grow food!"

"Isn't this a man who wants to look forward, for now that grain is indeed not available at a price, it is better to go out and work. "

"Even if you can sell it to a foreign country this year, you won't have such a good chance next year, right?"

"Not necessarily, His Highness has proposed several ways to refine grain and make it into starch or vermicelli and other refined grains, which can make it taste better and sell at a higher price. "

"There are also dried sweet potatoes, which are not only crispy, but also sweeter after drying, and are definitely the best snacks, and they are definitely sought-after when they are sold during the holidays. "

"And the imperial court has also launched a preferential policy of poultry subsidies, as long as you are willing to breed, you can buy chicken and duck cubs at half price, raise them for two or three months, and eat them during the New Year, and you can sell them for some money if you have excess. "

"This is not bad, the chickens and ducks are all first-class delicious, and the eggs and duck eggs are the most beneficial for the child's body. "

"Where can I buy cubs at half price, I'll go and line up!"

"It is estimated that it will take another half a month, and the current chicken and duck cubs have been sent to the front line of the locust plague in Persian County to catch locusts and eat them. "

"It is said that this batch of chickens and ducks that grew up eating locusts will taste particularly delicious, and when the time comes for the New Year, they will be distributed to all the people of Daqin for free!"

"Is it so good?"

"Now, that class of foreign barbarians who can't even eat is afraid that they will die of envy. "

"Who let them be unlucky, they didn't reincarnate in my Great Qin!"

"Hahaha!"

In the hearty laughter, the faces of the people of Daqin were full of pride.

Born in the prosperous era of Daqin, it is really the biggest lucky Ding.
