Regardless of whether Li Ersheng’s original intention of swallowing locusts is to show off, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, the positive effects brought about by swallowing locusts are irreplaceable by any other method!
"Hey~! Look! The fifteen villagers in Lantian County have completely wiped out the locusts yesterday! And it is expected that the remaining villagers in Lantian County will also be wiped out today!"
"This... how is this possible?"
"It's true! Yonganhou used 150,000 chickens to form the Tianji brigade, and the children in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun are both proficient in chicken training. Yesterday those children led the Tianji brigade from Hanjiazhuang and Meicun, all the way north. It took more than two hours to wipe out fifteen locusts in Zhuangzi! At this rate, the locusts in Lantian County can definitely be wiped out today!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's true! My eldest cousin is from Wangjiazhuang, Lantian County. The Tianji brigade did go to their village yesterday, and now there are basically no locusts in the field!"
"Hey~! So using chickens to kill locusts, is this method really reliable?"
"Of course! Look at this news, didn't Yonganhou say that? An adult chicken can eat more than 300 locusts a day, and 20 chickens can almost guarantee that there are no locusts in an acre of land. There were a total of 150,000 chickens in the chicken brigade that day. It is reasonable to say that all the locusts in Lantian County can be cleaned up within two days!"
"150,000! Why did Yonganhou raise so many chickens?"
"Hey! Do you know who first proposed the policy of raising chickens to reduce taxes last year? It was Yonganhou! He first implemented it in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun, but Yonganhou had a good heart and distributed chicken seedlings to farmers for free , Farmers can not only reduce rent by raising chickens, but the eggs laid by the chickens are also owned by the farmers! I heard that in this year, the farmers in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun sold eggs for dozens of dollars each. Yeah!"
"So many? No wonder the people in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun have built new houses~!"
"But my brother-in-law is also from Lantian County, why don't you have this treatment?"
"Hey! Your brother-in-law belongs to other Zhuangzi in Lantian County, right? You know that Hanjiazhuang and Meicun were the first Zhuangzi who merged into Hou Ye's fief. Can the treatment be the same? But now the entire Lantian County belongs to Yonganhou Now, the gap between the various Zhuangzi will definitely become smaller and smaller. I heard that now Hou Ye is letting people go to the Lantian county seat to pull wires. The people of Lantian County are getting more and more blessed~!"
"Oh! Yeah! I heard that what kind of light can be bright! It is dozens of times brighter than candles!"
"Huh? Did you say that Lord Hou knew in advance that there would be a locust plague this year? How else would you buy so many chickens in advance?"
The common people saw another piece of news about the extermination of locusts in Lantian County next to the headline, and couldn’t help but talk, but I don’t know who said that Li Zexuan might have expected this year’s locust plague, and the others couldn’t help but look at each other. , The same speculation arose from the bottom of my heart!
"Hey! Have you all forgotten? Hou Ye is a child of a fairy. Even if he anticipated this year's locust plague, what's so strange?"
"Yes, yes! It is said that the chicken raising reduction policy issued by the court last year was promoted by Lord Hou!"
"So, Lord Hou is a great benefactor to all of us!"
"Your Majesty is an eternal sage, Hou Ye must be sent by God to assist your Majesty!"
"Yes, yes! Our life will definitely get better and better!"
Li Zexuan never thought of letting the people know that he made a locust plague prediction to the court last year, but what he did not expect is that under the superposition of all kinds of coincidences, some people guessed it by themselves, and the result of this guess is very close. The truth is out!
"Have you seen? Tomorrow Lord Hou will take the Tianji brigade to the neighboring states and counties to eliminate locusts! What are we waiting for? Go home and prepare first!"
"Yes, yes, right! Go home and catch the locusts! The locusts caught now can be sold for some money. When the Tianji brigade arrives, they will not be caught!"
"Haha! Look, are you Zhao Ergou talking human? Don't you think that the locusts are gone too fast? Then don't you let the Tianji brigade go to your field? "
"Then...that's not good! How can locusts have food expensive? Without food, my family will have to go hungry~!"
Because every state and county government is buying locusts, the people at this time are actually a little bit entangled in their hearts. If the locusts are eliminated too quickly, they can't catch them and sell them for money; but if the locusts are eliminated too slowly, The crops in the fields are about to be endangered!
But basically most people still know the importance. Compared to the small money sold by locusts, the food in the fields is undoubtedly more important! Now, after learning that the Tianji brigade is going to kill locusts across counties, the people from other counties hurried home and called on everyone in the family to catch all the locusts before the Tianji brigade came!
This can not only make a small fortune, but also quickly eliminate locusts and reduce crop losses!
I have to say that Li Ertun locusts plus Li Zexuan’s Tianji brigade cross-country eradication of locusts, this combination of punches is so beautiful, so that the people who were in a state of despair because of the locust plague, instantly ignited and continued Hope to live on, and with high spirits, joined the team of locusts and self-help!

"Mr. Zhang San, this is a chart going to the North American continent. I have marked some small islands in the middle that can provide supplies to the fleet. Maybe some of the islands are not very precise, but the approximate location is definitely Yes! This North American continent is a group of uncivilized people, I call them Indians!
They are the aboriginals of the North American continent. They don’t have a unified dynasty like our Datang. At this time, they should still survive in a tribal way, Mr. Zhang San, if the people you brought with them really arrived In the North American continent, remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately at first. After all, your people are still too few compared to the entire Indian community! You must first win their trust, strive for their help, and gain a foothold locally! "
In the morning, after Li Zexuan had breakfast, he took a package to Yanhuang Academy and found the stubborn bearded guest. At this moment, the beard was tasting wine with Wang Ji. Li Zexuan did not evade Wang Ji and directly explained his intentions with the stubborn bearded guest. !
The face of the stunner flashed a little complicated. He put down the wine glass and took from Li Zexuan the nautical chart he had been thinking about, but strangely, at this time, he didn’t have the mind to open it up. Maybe it was Reluctant to give up!
With a sigh, the bearded man stood up and held his fist towards Li Zexuan, "Thank you, Shan Chang!"
He is not the kind of mother-in-law, even though there are a thousand words in his heart, he is unwilling to be a little daughter. Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, babbling endlessly, all feelings are in these four words "Thank you for the mountain long" !
Wang Ji, who was sitting aside, was a little surprised. He looked at the bearded guest and said in amazement: "Mr. Zhang San, are you leaving the college?"
The guilty bearded guest looked at the drinker who had been with him for nearly a year, and his eyes flashed a little bit, but he smiled boldly on his face: "Haha! There is no permanent banquet in this world. Although the wine in the college is good, People are good, but the vast sea is what Zhang Zhongjian wants in my heart! Next time I wait for a family to set foot on the land of Datang, I will find Lao Wang you to drink for three days and three nights and get drunk for a while!"
Wang Ji showed a trace of sadness on his face, and he sighed: "Zhong Jian likes sailing adventures, so let's go! He lives forever, but in just a few dozen years, he can do something he likes. This kind of life is The most exciting! But when Zhong Jian goes, the old man will lose a drinker. No matter how drunk the gods are, I am afraid they can only be intoxicating but not intoxicated~! Haha! Shan Chang, Zhong Jian, talk to you, Wang Mou Turn around in the workshop!"
After that, Wang Ji shook his head and walked away from the armrest, looking at his rickety back, he seemed to be a little old again!
"Mr. Wang has an arrogant personality, and the whole world is afraid of not finding a few people who can make him a confidant! Mr. Zhang San still insists on leaving?"
Li Zexuan paused for a moment, then said suddenly.
The bearded guest said quietly: "As a confidant, why bother about distance? Besides, Datang is booming now. With a Mingjun like Li Shimin and a virtuous minister like Shan Chang, Zhang can hardly imagine the Tang Dynasty in ten years. What will it be like? Maybe when a certain family can't stay overseas, they will go back to the academy in a desperate manner to find a mountain leader to beg for food and Lao Wang for a drink!"
If you dare to call Li Erming directly in Datang, it is estimated that only the guilty bearded person has the courage!
Li Zexuan said sincerely: "As long as Mr. Zhang San is willing, the door of Yanhuang Academy will always be open for you!"
The gauntlet flashed his eyes, and then said quietly: "This year in the academy is the easiest year for a certain family in this life. There is no intrigue, no hard training in martial arts, no blood and blood, and no competition for dominance. I only taught a group of students, accepted an unsatisfactory apprentice, and drank alcohol and drink with Lao Wang, and it was a joy!"
Li Zexuan almost laughed when he heard the phrase "accepting an unsatisfied disciple". At the beginning, the beard wanted to adjust the tutorial, so he accepted it as a personal disciple and taught martial arts. However, Cheng Chumo was born I don’t want to learn martial arts. Every time I want to learn and prepare for the exams to avoid the training of the stunner. The stunner is not only Cheng Chumo’s master, but also the master of the academy. There is no reason to prevent Cheng Chumo from studying the academy courses. Therefore, this year has passed. Cheng Chumo's martial arts has not improved much!
The guilty bearded guest didn’t mean to laugh at all, his eyes became a little iron and blood at this moment, just listen to him continue:
"After a comfortable life, I have enjoyed everything that should be enjoyed. Next, a certain house should go to the old days of wind and waves and blood licking! With the chart of the mountain long, a certain house will I can cross the sea, Zhang Zhongjian wants to see how high the day is and how big the ground is! Haha!"
In the face of such a arrogant and dry stunner, Li Zexuan couldn't help feeling a little shaken for a while. After a moment, Li Zexuan took out a small test book from the package and said:
"The North American continent is rich in land and minerals. I have several plants here that I need to ask Mr. Zhang San to bring back. I have recorded their appearance and growth habits in this booklet! There are two things in it. Especially important, please send someone to find and send back to Datang by Mr. Zhang San anyway!
The first thing I call it a potato, the body is yellow and round, and the primary leaves are simple and whole. With the growth of the plant, the pinnate compound leaves are gradually formed. Underground tubers are round, egg, elliptical, with bud eyes, and the skin is red, yellow, white or purple. The yield of this thing is extremely high, with a yield of more than a thousand catties per mu, it can be used for cooking, and it can also be used as food to satisfy hunger during famine years! "
The bearded guy was surprised: "Yield a thousand catties per mu? There is such a baby in this world?"
You should know that the yield of grain crops in this era, such as rice and wheat, is only about 100 catties per mu. It is not surprising that the yield per mu is not too high. Yields thousands of catties, suddenly feel incredible!
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "There is only more, no less. What's more important is that potatoes are more drought-resistant than rice and wheat. So please Mr. Zhang San must bring potatoes back! There is another crop. I call it corn. This thing is also very drought-resistant. The yield is at least three to four hundred catties per mu. The plant is tall, the leaves are flat and wide, and the caryopsis are spherical or oblate. When mature, the glumes and palea are exposed. The specific appearance I drew it all~IndoMTL.com~ Mr. Zhang San can let people follow the picture to find out!"
With the previous potatoes, now the bearded guy is not very surprised by the corn. He took the pamphlet in Li Zexuan's hand, then clasped his fist and said: "The mountain leader gave a certain family such a detailed chart, just a few seeds. As long as you can find it, Zhang will definitely send someone to the head of the mountain!"
Stayed in the academy for a year and looked for a few plants for Li Zexuan. This was originally the condition that the bearded guy agreed to Li Zexuan. There is nothing to dispute.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "In addition to potatoes and corn, there are other crops that are recorded in this booklet. If you can find it, it's the best thing. It's hard to find it, and it doesn't hurt. !"
The bearded guest nodded and said: "A certain family must go all out!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "In fact, if Mr. Zhang San can wait another half a year, maybe I can help you build a bigger and better boat for you to sail, the risk will definitely be much smaller!"
The bearded guest waved his hand and said: "Haha! Thank you for the great kindness of the mountain! But this time is a good season to go to sea. Wait a few months, the fleet may encounter wind, waves, rain and snow when it is halfway. Besides, The ship now is enough! I really encounter a storm at sea, and no big ship can hold it!"
Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Since Mr. Zhang San insists on leaving, then I won't stop it! Tomorrow I will go to another county, and I don't know when I can come back. After Mr. Zhang San is ready, he can leave by himself! As for sailing For the compass needed, Mr. Zhang San can go to Mr. Wang for a batch, but be careful not to let the compass into the hands of foreigners!"
The bearded guest said with joy: "The leader can rest assured! A certain family will not let the compass fall into the foreign countries!"
"Hmm!"
