Your Majesty, Madam called you to farm

Chapter 201 Finding a Solution to the Locust Plague

"Although the vegetables were donated to those disaster-stricken areas affected by locusts, these vegetables are just a drop in the bucket. If the locust disaster becomes more serious, these vegetables will not be enough to support the lives of these people."

"It's a bit distressing, but I'm more worried about the people in the remaining areas and their food. If the locust moves its position, its harm will be even more serious."

"If you really want to solve these problems, you still need to come up with a way to eliminate these locusts, otherwise no matter how you make up for it, it will be a remedy."

Shi Mishuang's face was also full of troubles and worries. After speaking, he deliberately answered the conversation: "But since you have come here and know these things, let's think of a solution together. I really have a headache. .”

Seeing Shi Mishuang's headache, Sister Qing and Li Anrou's eyes flashed with distress: "Okay, okay, we came here just to give Shuangshuang advice."

Li Anrou also read a lot of books at home before, and also took some classes. Li Anrou was thinking about the books she had read in her mind, and said with a serious face.

"However, I haven't read too many records about locust disasters in books, and there are only a few words, and I don't know much about the specific content."

Sister Qing immediately took over the words and said, "I've lived for so many years, and this is actually the first time I've heard of this locust disaster. I don't really know much about this kind of thing."

Shi Mishuang listened to Li Anrou's words, with disappointment on his face: "I have also entered the palace and checked the history books, and there is no record about the locust disaster on it, so there are only a few words, so this matter It’s still up to us.”

"There are no such records in the books, let alone in ordinary books. Hey, we can only start from other aspects."

Both Li Anrou and Sister Qing were a little surprised: "History books? Ordinary people can't read the history books. Logically, only people in the royal family can read them. How can both of you see them?"

Shi Mishuang also knew that it was not easy for him to be able to check the history books, so he said with a gentle face: "Actually, I knew that I couldn't see the history books, but I didn't expect that the emperor would still let me check them."

"Maybe it's the emperor's heart, okay, he's very generous to me, but I can't find any news about the locust disaster in the history books."

"The Emperor must have been a little disappointed." Shi Mishuang didn't hide his disappointment, seeing the disappointment on Shi Mishuang's face, Sister Qing and Li Anrou hurriedly comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay. There was very little news of this kind, and it can't be all blamed on Shuangshuang. Shuangshuang doesn't need to feel guilty, it's normal."

"Let's think about it slowly. People always come up with this method. Both of you are not in a hurry. Let's find a way in our tone." The two people's tone was gentle, very gentle and comforting.

Shi Mishuang also knew that everyone was very worried about him, so he immediately adjusted his state, smiled and said: "Immediately, since you are all here, I am not afraid of anything, let's think about it slowly good."

Sister Qing and Li Anrou looked at Shi Mishuang with a smile on her face, and felt relieved: "As long as you have nothing to do, then it's fine, then let's discuss the locust disaster. "

Shi Mishuang nodded, and Zhao Xingcheng inserted a sentence at this moment: "It stands to reason that no matter what kind of insects are afraid of fire, do locusts also fear fire? If they are afraid of fire, how about using fire?"

Listening to Zhao Xingcheng's words, the three of them felt that it was very reasonable, and they all nodded. Shi Mishuang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "What Xianggong said makes sense. I haven't thought of this before. Xianggong reminded me."

"Yes, most insects are very afraid of fire. I think locusts should also be afraid of fire. Maybe this method is worth a try. If it works, then it can be done."

Sister Qing and Li Anrou also immediately echoed: "Fire is a good idea, I think it should be very good, I heard that those insects are very afraid of fire, so many people will buy candles and the like. "

"I think this method can be tried." Everyone agreed with Zhao Xingcheng's words, so Shi Mishuang seemed to have been poked.

"Then immediately edit a book and send it to the emperor. The emperor is probably still worrying about the locust disaster. The three of us are not sure that this method will work, but we have to try it to know. "

Everyone nodded, so Feng Hehua went to the study to get paper, pen, ink and envelopes, and Shi Mi Shuangbian immediately repaired a book.

"Minzi Shi Mishuang, because most insects are very afraid of fire. So I think it can be used. Fire, to see if it can drive away the locusts, or if it can burn them to death."

"But it may not be effective, so I just said that we thought of this method. Let me tell you that if the emperor believes in the contract and is willing to give it a try, he can go and give it a try."

After Shi Mishuang finished writing, he asked Sister Qing, Li Anrou and Zhao Xingcheng to look over it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked De Lue to send the letter to the palace.

After the emperor received the letter, he was also quite impressed. In fact, the emperor knew that fire is something that most insects fear, but when the locust disaster came, the emperor's brain did not immediately think of this.

After Shi Mishuang's letter, the emperor also thought of fire, but the use and production of fire is actually very troublesome, and there is no way to popularize it all.

Many people also use the old method of making fire with bricks and wood, so it is very difficult for them to use fire. After thinking about this, the emperor wrote a letter back.

"Miss Shi's method, I already know, and I also think this method is feasible, but the use of fire is very difficult among the common people, so how to use fire is also a very difficult problem."

"The method of fire has been passed on to areas affected by locusts. I will let them try their best first. If it doesn't work, then I have to think of other methods. If it is possible, how to use fire conveniently also needs to be thought about. I figured it out."

After receiving the emperor's reply, Shi Mishuang also gave the content of the letter to Li Anrou and Sister Qing, and Zhao Xingcheng checked it.
