You say, is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said true or false? A common man looked at a young man beside him with a suspicious expression: "In all dynasties, countless officials and strange people have no way to hold locusts, can His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Father, where are you talking about that?" The eldest son on the side said dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a god descended from heaven, a man of all talents in civil and military affairs, and he is favored by God, what can a mere locust be?" ”

"What's more, in front of so many fathers and fellow villagers, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will speak wildly?"

The old man's face was suddenly stunned, his face showed a hint of abruptness, he bowed slightly, and said in agreement: "There is some truth in what my son said!" ”

Listening to the voices of the people below who were all questioning, Luo Chen smiled faintly, his face was not concerned, he waited for a while, and said softly: "Lone let people print some locust control manuals, and all literate people can receive a copy later, and those who are illiterate will also send someone to interpret it, so don't panic!" ”

"Here, I would like to say a few words!"

"One of them is to overcome it with its natural enemies, such as chickens and ducks, frogs, toads, and birds, all of which are the natural enemies of locusts, so only a certain number of chickens, ducks and birds can have a certain inhibitory effect on this locust plague!"

"Second, the bottom of the kettle is drawn! You know, locusts are oviparous, generally speaking, the hatching period of locusts is about half a month, as long as it hatches, it is killed, you can cut off its roots, because its larval stage will not fly, if it is the right time, it is also a good idea to use less fire directly! ”

"Third, the net! In the face of large-scale locusts, as long as a huge net is formed, it is easy for several people to lead it! ”

"Therefore, with these three strategies, even if they cannot be wiped out, they can effectively curb the spread of locusts, and after the people's crops are harvested, the locusts will naturally starve to death!"

Hearing Luo Chen's explanation, many people still showed a hint of half-belief, Luo Chen smiled faintly: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, now the imperial court is raising chickens and ducks in the north, and tens of thousands of chickens and ducks can be transported over in two days at the latest!" ”

"Hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks?"

The people below are all looking at each other, what kind of joke is this, tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, how to transport them?

If tens of thousands of soldiers came to exterminate the locusts, there was some credibility, but these tens of thousands of chickens and ducks ......

Luo Chen ignored the people below, walked directly towards the city tower, looked at Yu Yao, and said softly: "You just wait for me in Qingyuan City, I and the soldiers will go to Lantian County to take a look!" ”

Yu Yao's expression suddenly moved: "I'll be with me, could it be that this locust can be more dangerous than the sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield?" ”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Okay, you come with me first!" ”

Luo Chen took Yu Yao to a courtyard, took out a system-customized leather armor and handed it over: "This is the covered leather armor that I have specially ordered, you wear this!" ”

Yu Yao's face was stunned for a moment, and she asked softly, "What about you?" ”

"I don't need to!"

Luo Chen shook his head directly, and said with a smile: "I have internal strength to protect my body, if I don't want locusts, I can't get close to my body at all!" ”

Yu Yao's heart suddenly warmed, so he was specially customized for me?

Luo Chen helped him put on his armor, and said angrily: "You said how comfortable you are staying in Chang'an, you have to follow me to this place where birds don't and suffer!" ”

Yu Yao rolled her eyes, "Didn't you also come to this place where birds don't poop to suffer?" ”

Luo Chen was speechless for a moment, took Yu Yao's hand and walked directly to the top of the school field, according to Lin Jue, the six thousand soldiers have all been on the front line of the anti-locust fight, so Luo Chen also directly led the three thousand cavalry and a group of people to walk towards Lantian County, the most serious disaster!

Along the way, locusts spread, occasionally a few locusts flew in the air, and in the afternoon, Luo Chen led an army of 3,000 to Lantian County!

"Spread out, three thousand people are divided into four teams, with Lantian County as the center, respectively, to the fields, wilderness, and dry places in the four directions of east, west, south and north, turn over the soil, look for insect eggs, and be sure to turn them out!"

"At this time, they can be slaughtered without moving, but if they wait for a while, it will not be so easy!"

"No!"

Three thousand soldiers are scattered, they are all iron-clad men, if they are allowed to kill the enemy on the battlefield, they will naturally be fearless, but it is really difficult for them to fight against the little locusts!

However, they are soldiers, and Luo Chen is even more prohibited, coupled with the harm of the locust plague, no one hesitated, and ran directly towards the field!

Time passed slowly, Luo Chen exchanged some locust pesticides from the system, handed them over to the people, quickly whipped them away, mixed them with water, and sprayed them on the crops!

"The locust swarm is coming!"

A loud shout sounded, and I saw that a hundred meters away, the overwhelming swarm of locusts directly swarmed, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was overwhelming, covering the sky and the sun, and it was simply a layer of black and pressed carpet, covering the face!

Rao is Luo Chen had already been mentally prepared to be suppressed at this time, these locusts are swarming, it is completely possible to suffocate people!

However, he was not too frightened, looked at the people behind him, and said in a low voice: "Light the torch!" ”

Hundreds of people directly lit the torches in their hands and waved them directly towards the locust swarm, and it didn't take long for the air to fill the air with a pungent smell of barbecue.

However, this burned locust is too insignificant for the mighty army of locusts!

Luo Chen stood in the center of the locust swarm, countless locusts collided around his body like raindrops, Luo Chenyuan turned his internal force, slapped out with one palm, and suddenly, stretching for dozens of meters, hundreds of locusts fell directly to the ground!

"Your Highness!"

I saw a person flying horse coming, and when he saw Luo Chen's figure, his face was happy: "The Jiangnan Branch of Xiaoyao Commercial Bank has already rhymed 30,000 chickens and 10,000 ducks have arrived!" ”

Luo Chen's face suddenly turned happy, and he shouted: "Go back to the city first, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

After fighting for an hour and a half, countless locusts were hunted and killed, but there was no significant effect, but on the side of the forbidden army, a lot of insect eggs were turned out from the ground, gathered together, and burned them directly!

Luo Chen deliberately paid attention to a lot of live grasshoppers, although this thing is not a good thing, but if it is eaten as a delicacy, it is a complete treasure, in the future generations, a plate of fried grasshoppers will cost at least seventy or eighty yuan!

After going back, Luo Chen watched the carriages pulling the cages and pressing the 30,000 chickens and 10,000 ducks over, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Good job!" ”
