Chapter 753 Preventing and controlling locusts

Master Yao Jiu has never experienced locusts, so he really has never cared about this matter.

"This... we need to ask professionals? If no one knows it, we need to do an experiment to verify it." Yao Jiuye said, "After all, practice is the truth that solves the problem. If we don't even try it, who knows what the result will be?"

The twenty-second prince Li Zheng frowned: "The locust plague does not happen just by saying it happens. How can I try it? It will be a disaster as soon as it happens."

"This... we will write it into the newspaper to brainstorm and see if anyone has noticed this issue. If so, it might give us some ideas."

...

However, before this, Yao Jiuye felt that they needed to gather their own people to discuss and organize a general idea.

Then they knew how to ask this question.

Just as Gu Qingling was free, Master Yao Jiu invited her over without saying a word and had a meeting together.

After all, in Yao Jiuye’s heart, no one is more extensive than his mother’s “seeings and hearings.”

Before the meeting, Yao Jiuye asked everyone to collect information about locusts, and then there will be content when the discussion is discussed.

Therefore, all the princes, including royal relatives, encountered a wave of "asking advice".

"You have finished the map before, why do you want to get a locust plague again? Can you solve the locust plague? It has been hundreds or thousands of years, but no one has solved it. If you can solve it, we will solve it long ago."

"Dad, you can't say that. The perspective of our children is different from that of your adults. Maybe we can do something strange? For example, the map we made has not been finished yet and is just a semi-finished product, but no one I have ever seen won't praise us." The eldest prince Li An thought that the eldest prince Li Jian was wrong. If they really had no use at all, why did the emperor's grandmother Gu Qing ask them to do this?

Since they have done it, it will definitely be useful.

But he is young now and could not have thought that deep.

The eldest prince Li Jian laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, you are very awesome, otherwise Grandpa of the Emperor would not praise you like that."

The grandson of the emperor, Ang Lee smiled: "It's, Dad, stop talking. Please help me find a book. As long as it is related to locusts, I want it."

"Okay, I'll find it for you." The unfair prince Li Jian found it for his son himself, and even called the master to come over and help him find it.

I actually found a few pages about locusts in the study and handed the book to the eldest prince, Ang Lee, and asked him to keep it carefully.

It's over, remember to return it to him.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not a child, I won't ruin your book."

The eldest prince’s grandson, Ang Lee, waved his hand, very casually.

It can also be seen from this that as the eldest son of the eldest prince Li Jian, Ang Lee is very frustrated, otherwise he would not be so "relaxed" in front of the eldest prince Li Jian.

The eldest prince Li Jian is not without temper, but he is very fond of this only legitimate son.

Everyone is looking for books, and most of the books they can find are more popular on the market.

Like those in Yao Jiuye’s hands, many of them have never seen before.

There is no way, who made those books compiled by Gu Qingling?

Since it was from his own bookstore and he asked him to edit it himself, Gu Qingling has so many book editors, but when the theme is over, most of them are edited.

It’s good to have power and power, and with a word, someone will work.

Therefore, no one is more familiar with the introduction and understanding of locusts than Yao Jiuye.

According to the previous map version, he also asked someone to find a board, lay it on it with large white paper, and then recorded it in another way.

They had few people and had slow hand speed, so they specially brought a few "speed reporters" to ask speed reporters to help record.

This meeting was hosted by Master Yao Jiu, Gu Qingling was responsible for attending the meeting, and he was there to give everyone some guidance.

For example, Gu Qingling asked: "Have you ever thought about starting from the diet of locusts? We want to solve a pest, which can not only find their natural enemies, but also solve them from their food and living environment."

When Gu Qingling asked, everyone present immediately started to discuss.

"Yes, this is indeed an idea, what do locusts eat?"

"It's written on it, corn, wheat, sorghum, rice, millet..."

"We're poisoning on what we eat?"

"That's not possible. These foods are what the people want to eat. If we poison it, what if the locusts are not poisoned, but the people are poisoned?"

...

Gu Qingling listened quietly by the side and found that they had been discussing for a long time, but no good results came out.

Just as they were about to speak out, a companion raised his hand and whispered: "Can we starve them to death? If we don't kill poison, we can starve them to death? If they want to eat these things, we will not plant them..."

"How can that be done? The people still have to eat." The twenty-second prince Li Zheng immediately objected.

What a joke, locusts can’t eat these foods, they can eat other things, but if the people have no food, how can they live?

Also starved to death?

It's a rebellion.

Yao Jiuye's head flashed with a flash of inspiration and said, "Wait a minute, locusts don't grow up in one day. Before they really grow up, they can't run that far away. So we just need not plant these foods near them and plant some things that they cannot eat."

Everyone was shocked.

Isn't it enough to "starve" them to death before they grow up?

But where should I go to find locusts?

Could it be that I really want to turn the ground?

"It is worth it to spend some effort to overturn the mudflats compared to locusts growing into plagues." Liu Yi, an older companion, thought for a while and said, "Although the Ming Dynasty is very big, how many mudflats are there in the Ming Dynasty? Moreover, there are records of the places where locust plagues are set off over the years. As long as we look for them based on these records, we can easily find their nests."

Seeing that they had discussed this, Gu Qingling smiled on her face and felt very happy for their intelligence.

"Since you have thought of starving the locusts to death, can you add a process before starving them to death, such as..." Gu Qingling said, "Don't let them hatch."

Everyone looked over with a puzzled look on their faces.

"If you want to starve the locusts to death, they should be hatching from their eggs, turning into larvae, or turning into adults to fly. So isn't it the same way to start when they are still eggs?" Gu Qingling continued to remind, "You think, since you have all found their nests, why not do one more process and one more guarantee?"

"But... if it is still an egg, it will be too small." The twenty-second prince Li Zheng frowned and said, "You can't pick it out one by one and pinch it to death?"

"Why do we need to kill it? Can't we burn it to death or destroy their hatching environment and let the locust eggs die directly?" Gu Qingling said, "What are the conditions for hatching locust eggs? Just like hens hatching eggs, we can't do anything, and we can hatch it, right?"

"I know!" Yao Jiuye's eyes lit up and said, "I have done an egg hatching experiment before. When hens hatch eggs, temperature is required. Therefore, hens will not leave the nest when hatching eggs. They do not eat or drink. It takes about twenty days to hatch them."
