But since Lu Su said so.

That shows that the locust plague in Yanzhou will indeed affect Jizhou.

It's just that the impact on the harvest is not as serious as in Yanzhou.

Come to think of it.

Zhao Feng's face suddenly changed.

This so-called, not as serious as Yanzhou, that is only this year.

When all the locust plagues reach Jizhou, even if it does not affect this year's harvest.

But after these locusts lay eggs, the threat to next year will be too great.

In other words, there will inevitably be a locust plague in Jizhou next year.

As for the level of the locust plague, it depends on whether the heavy snow this winter will give it or not.

If the snow is heavy, then many locust eggs will freeze to death.

If the heavy snow is not strong, then next year's locust plague will start in Jizhou and then spread to other places.

Moreover, next year's locust plague will be even more exaggerated than this year's locust plague in Yanzhou.

Because the locust plague in the Yanzhou area is not a concentrated outbreak.

And next year's locust plague in Jizhou will definitely break out in a concentrated manner.

Then, next year, Jizhou will not be as simple as reducing production.

Maybe it's going to be gone!

Because when the locust plague comes, it will eat the seedlings.

Even if it is replanted later, it will still be eaten by locusts next year.

In this regard, Zhao Feng said directly: "Is there a way to solve it?" ”

Lu Su shook his head: "There is no solution to this kind of disaster. ”

"According to historical records."

"During the Warring States Period, every seven years, there was a locust plague."

"Qin, there was a locust plague in about 8:8."

"Dahan is also about eight years old, and there will be a locust plague."

"The cause of the locust plague in Yanzhou should be the drought in Guanzhong."

"According to historical records, locusts must be said to be locusts after a long drought."

"We can only rely on the heavy snow this winter and the wind and rain in the coming year."

Then Lu Su gave a general introduction, according to the situation of the previous locust plagues.

The ancestors summarized that the cause of the locust plague was probably.

In dry years, rivers and lakes shrink and low-lying areas are exposed, providing more suitable places for locusts to lay eggs.

On the other hand, plants grown in arid environments have a lower water content, and locusts feed on them, growing faster and having higher fertility.

At the same time, drought has caused explosive migration, from arid areas to low-lying and flood-prone areas.

As for the fact that there are no other circumstances, there is no groping out.

After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.

Relying on nature to solve the locust plague is not a solution.

But in this way, there will still be an outbreak of locusts every few years in the future.

In particular, the outbreak of locust plague was accompanied by drought.

It was already a year of disaster, but as a result, it was still plagued by locusts in the surrounding areas, so that the disaster area expanded.

If there were a few droughts in a short period of time, the dynasty would be in turmoil.

And Zhao Feng knew that the change of dynasties in the past was mostly caused by natural disasters that caused the people to not have enough to eat, and then the displaced people moved everywhere.

After that, there was a rebellion.

Even if it is suppressed, the country will be full of holes.

If it is handled well, maybe the dynasty will continue, but if it is not handled well, it will be similar to now, and all the princes have divided the land.

Zhao Feng is incapable of solving all natural disasters.

But it seems that there is a plague of locusts, and there is something to be done.

That's ...... Let the people eat locusts as a dietary habit.

Anyway, in later generations, some people like to eat so-called roasted locusts.

Whether it's good or not, let's not talk about it for the time being.

But it shows that locusts can at least eat!

Since I thought of a way.

Zhao Feng naturally said it directly.

After hearing this, Lu Su was surprised and said, "Let the people eat locusts? ”

"Will it work?"

Zhao Feng spread his hands: "Okay, you have to give it a try." ”

"What if it works?"

"Doesn't that mean that it will be difficult for locust plagues to occur in the future?"

Zhao Feng has a reflection that some foreign invasive species in later generations will be eaten by the broad masses of the people, and they will soon become endangered protected animals.

If this can be done, there will be no locust plague in the future.

Although the natural enemies of locusts can also suppress locust plagues.

But Zhao Feng didn't know much about this after all, so he didn't know what the natural enemies of locusts were.

However, Zhao Feng believes that chickens, ducks, frogs and so on should belong to a kind of natural enemy.

Then these so-called natural enemies of locusts were also named.

Just grasp it with both hands.

As long as one side can succeed, even if it cannot completely solve the locust plague, it can suppress the locust plague.

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "This can be given a try." ”

"Anyway, most of the people under the rule of the lord raise chickens."

When Zhao Feng was still in Zhaojiazhuang, he bought a large number of chickens and asked the people of Zhaojiazhuang to raise them.

Later, in order to improve the lives of the people of Jiumen, Zhao Feng provided chickens to the people, and the people wanted to return Zhao Feng's chickens three times in the coming year, so as to expand the popularity of chickens.

Because Zhao Feng knows that eggs contain high protein.

In addition, people raise chickens, even if they don't eat their own chicken, they can sell them for money to improve their lives.

It's just that later, the land under Zhao Feng's rule instantly became larger.

Zhao Feng also didn't have the ability to provide so many chickens and let all the people raise chickens.

However, in the four places of Jinyang, Qixian, Yuanshi, and Zhending, the reform test was continued.

After all, there was no such thing as industry to increase productivity in ancient times.

Then animal husbandry can only be used to improve the lives of the people.

Anyway, it is not difficult to raise chickens, and it is not too troublesome to raise them freely.

Also, don't prepare enough food, the chickens will find their own food anyway.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Then draw up a document and give it to Tian Feng." ”

"First, let Jinyang, Qixian, Yuanshi, and Zhending buy a large number of chickens."

"Then it will be handed over to Wei County, Liyang, Fanyang, Yin'an, Wei County, Yuancheng, Guantao, Qingyuan, Qinghe Country Beiqiu, Lingxian and other places."

"As for how to distribute it, it's up to Tian Feng to calculate it himself."

"In short, the closer you are to Yanzhou, the more chickens you will have."

"These chickens can be tried in those places in the future according to the practice of changing the law."

"Second, send an order to Zhao Yun to organize the people of Jizhou to catch locusts in those places."

"Then send the locusts to the Drunken Immortal Tower."

"Let Zuixianlou make locusts into dishes, eat a locust, and reward ten yuan and five baht!"

There was a great drought in the Sili area.

In the Chang'an area, one stone of grain has risen to 500,000 small five baht.

So ten cents, not a lot.

But ten dollars for a locust is not less.

In the short term, although it is a loss-making business.

But if in the long run, it is definitely much stronger than next year's locust plague in Jizhou.

In addition, there is a more conventional approach.

It was the government that organized the people to catch locusts, and then set them on fire.

But this is only a symptom but not a cure.

In the future, if there is a locust plague, this organization will still be required, which will also consume manpower and material resources.

Only let the people include locusts in the future as a kind of food.

Then the locust plague may turn into an alternative feast.
