Nagato has such a slim waist

As the saying goes, when locusts pass by, no grass will grow.

Liujia Village and Shenjia Village are across a long river, and next to Shenjia Village is Huaxi Village.

Not far apart.

Feng Yun owns a large field and is the leader of Huaxi Village, so he can't help but feel chilly in his heart.

She wanted to take a look, but the sun was getting hotter and it would be very hot in the lower village. It would be extremely inconvenient to take Yuan Shangyi with her, so she suppressed her emotions and smiled at He Chuandong.

"If there is news, Mr. He will send someone to Huaxi Village to inform you."

He Chuandong cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

"Would you like to take a look, madam?" Yuan Shangyi turned his head sideways, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Feng Yun noticed his little thoughts.

Because she wanted to go, he was willing to go with her.

"Does Ayuan want to go too?"

Won Sang Yi nodded.

Feng Yun said: "But the weather is too hot. Aren't you afraid of the sun?"

He Chuandong felt frightened when he saw the little emperor's pale face, and then said: "The princess is right, it's hot outside, and His Majesty is not well yet, so it's best not to go out."

This statement is the same as those in the palace.

Yuan Shangyi's brows suddenly wrinkled and he looked at Feng Yun.

"I want to go."

He Chuandong was anxious and wanted to stop him, but Feng Yun smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's finish our lunch and go together."
-
In the afternoon, Feng Yun and He Qia met at the city gate.

Like his son, He Qia was frightened by Feng Yun and the little emperor, but his reaction was better than that of He Chuandong. He bowed and quickly calmed down.

The emperor rode in an ox-cart, so of course he, a governor, could not ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

He Qia motioned to the people accompanying him to drive the carriage back, and took his son into Feng Yun's ox cart.

He Qia briefly described the situation reported by Li Zheng and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's true that misfortunes never come singly. Just after the snow disaster, locusts broke out again."

To make matters worse, He Qia was so worried that he couldn't care less about etiquette in front of the emperor and kept slapping his forehead.

"Such heavy snow didn't freeze the insect eggs to death?"

Feng Yun thought for a moment, "Locust eggs are laid a few inches below the ground, and are covered with snow, which helps locusts survive the winter. When the snow melts, the moisture in the soil increases, which helps locusts hatch..."

She talked freely.

He Qia was impressed.

"The princess actually knows a lot about the villagers' affairs."

Feng Yun smiled slightly, "It's all from the book. Talking on paper is nothing..."

He Qia's hair has turned gray from worry. When he meets someone who can "talk on paper", it's like a drowning man to a floating tree. He grabs her and won't let go.

"Then Princess, does she know of any good ways to control insects?"

Feng Yun said: "When we get to Liujia Village, let's take a look and talk."

He Qia responded with a smile.

When the two of them were talking, Won Sang-yi didn't interrupt, just like an obedient child in an ordinary family, listening silently.

Although he doesn't understand it very well, he likes the way the princess is omnipotent...

While in the palace, Empress Dowager Duan was in constant panic year after year. The negative emotions brought to the young Yuan Shangyi and shaped his current temperament.

Therefore, the calm and calm Feng Yun can give him a great sense of security.

Yuan Shangyi secretly held Feng Yun's hand...

Feng Yun looked down and gave him a water bag.

Seeing the way his eyelashes trembled when he drank water, the debt to Qu'er came to my heart again...

Following her incompetent mother, is Qu'er like Yuan Shangyi, worried, frightened, and unable to live in peace?

If she could protect her child well, how could she end up like that...

It can't be made up for anymore.

Those regrets turned into a torn scar, spreading continuously in his heart. Feng Yun's eyes gradually deepened, showing sadness.

Yuan Shangyi noticed something, raised his head, looked at her, and suddenly reached out to stroke Feng Yun's brow.

"Madam, don't frown. Look, I drank obediently."

Feng Yun came back to his senses and smiled.

"I frowned because I thought of the locusts. It had nothing to do with A Yuan."

Yuan Shangyi groaned and suddenly stared blankly at the shaft of the car.

"Madam, look..."

Feng Yun turned his head, but before he spoke, He Qia raised his voice.

"locust……"

Yuan Shangyi asked: "Is this a grasshopper?"

When he stayed at White Horse Temple before, he had seen grasshoppers in the courtyard. He was not very afraid, and was even a little curious. The governor said that the pests that "no grass could grow" overnight were actually grasshoppers?
Seeing the child's curiosity, Feng Yun stretched out his hand and caught the locust with his handkerchief. Under He Xia's stunned eyes, he pointed at it and said:

"Grasshoppers are locusts, but locusts are not grasshoppers. The grasshoppers we usually call eat herbivores, don't like to migrate, don't like to swarm, and do less harm to crops. Locusts are the same kind, but different species. You see, it is big and has a head They are round, have big mouths, can fly over long distances, swarm when they appear, damage crops on a large scale, and are omnivorous..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at the little emperor.

"Generally, grasshoppers do not eat their own kind, but when there is no food source, locusts will choose to eat their own kind to protect themselves."

Yuan Shangyi turned pale when he heard this.

Feng Yun casually trampled the locusts to death in the bullock cart, threw them out, and said calmly: "In order to avoid being eaten by the same kind, the greater the number of locusts, the faster they travel. Only then can locusts cross the border, covering the sky and the sun, and the red ground for thousands of miles." As soon as I said..."

"Then why cluster?"

"For reproduction and survival." If you ask, there must be an answer.

Yuan Shangyi fell in love with this princess who was full of knowledge.

"My wife knows more than my master."

Feng Yun looked at him and said: "I only know this through reading. If A Yuan likes it, you can often come to my village to read..."

Yuan Shangyi already knew a lot of words, but he had a certain number of books to read in the palace, and there were not so many miscellaneous books and idle books to read.

He liked these by nature and nodded heavily immediately.

"My wife, go back and tell Nvshi Lin that I can come to you anytime."

Feng Yun said: "Okay."

It was indeed very hot when we arrived in Liujia Village, but the farmers did not stay cool in their houses. Instead, they drove and hunted locusts in the fields.

Wearing straw hats and braving the scorching sun, adults, children and the elderly, the whole family went out.

The village chief took several elders in the village and set up an altar in the village to worship the gods and pray for blessings and eliminate the locust plague.

Feng Yun took Yuan Shangyi out of the car and took him to a big tree with a lush canopy to cool off. He told Xiao Man and the guards to watch while he and He Qia walked onto the ground.

It is actually normal to have locusts in the fields. As long as they are not in swarms, they will not become a disaster.

But villagers said the number of locusts this year was significantly higher than in previous years. They had been hunting for three days, but the number still did not decrease, so they had to bring out the guys to drive them away...

Feng Yun actually disagrees with the expulsion method.

This is nothing more than going from this village to that village.

The headmaster washed his hands by the well, came over and bowed his head to He Xia.

"Prince Governor, you have to help us think of a way. If all the crops are eaten, the whole village will have no way to survive."

Liujia Village, like Shenjia Village, is named after its surname and lives in a clan. Everyone in the village has the surname Liu and they are all relatives. If there is a locust plague, there will be no place to borrow food...

He Qia doesn't know much about farming.

But after hearing about the horror of the locust plague, I just listened to Feng Yun's story again, and I was so worried that I was sweating all over my forehead.

"I'm thinking of a way, I'm thinking of a way."

He also gets angry.

In the past, he was a military commander who only went into battle to kill the enemy.

Locust plague has been a difficult agricultural problem since ancient times. Whoever encounters it is unlucky. Apart from hunting and killing, he can't think of any good solution...

Then the look of help fell on Feng Yun's face.

Li Zheng still didn't know that the woman holding the child was Princess Yonghuai, and the child standing and watching under the shade of the tree was the king of a country.

He only thought that Feng Yun was a member of He Xia's family, took a look at it, and said to He Xia:
"The price of food has increased again this year, and every household in the village has no food surplus... Oh, I'm so sad. It would be great if it was like Huaxi Village. It has farm tools, clothing, pottery kilns, and various workshops. Even if you can't grow crops, you won't be able to grow any crops." As for hungry food..."

He Qia smiled awkwardly.

"Liu Lizheng can go to Huaxi and learn from them."

The head of the village shook his head, "In this world, there is no one who doesn't hide his/her secrets. No one can teach others even if they don't have enough money to eat. Besides, everyone has gone to work in workshops. Isn't there no one to farm this field?"

It sounded very reasonable, and He Qia could only laugh.

The food crisis is not limited to Liu Lichang. As a governor of a state, He Qia is actually more worried than him...

Feng Yun suddenly said: "The locusts are not dense right now. How about raising more chickens, ducks and geese in the village? There are locusts, which can save food for feeding..."

The director shook his head and glanced at her with some contempt.

"Madam, you don't know. There are too many bugs, and the ducks can't eat them..."

Feng Yun smiled slightly, "That means there are not enough ducks."

When she talks about "many", she means "many" in groups, not just a few or dozens of them.

Feng Yun turned to He Qia and said, "Maybe the governor can call on the duck farmers in various counties to organize an army of duck farmers to jointly eliminate the locusts?"

People at that time loved to eat duck meat, and every county in Shinshu was close to the water, and there were large-scale duck farmers everywhere. If one family is not enough, what about ten families or a hundred families?
Duck farmers need food to feed them, which is very costly, but locusts cost nothing.

If there is a call from the government to provide a little subsidy, people will flock to it.

He Qia's eyes lit up, "Maybe you can give it a try, thank you Princess for your advice."

Only then did Liu Lichang realize that the person in front of him was Princess Yonghuai or Li Zheng from Huaxi Village. Thinking of what he had just said, his face turned red and he kept apologizing.

Feng Yun smiled and shook his head, not taking it seriously. Under the leadership of the village chief, he walked around the village and left with He Xia.

Returning to Huaxi, she called several chiefs and corps chiefs to discuss matters under the big locust tree.

Huaxi Village is separated from Liujia Village by a long river. We don’t know anything about the locusts yet, but several of them are old farmers, and their faces turned pale when they heard about it.

"Ms. Li Zheng, we need to take precautions early."

Feng Yun nodded.

But besides raising ducks, she couldn't think of a good way at the moment. She reminded the farmer and rushed into the study.

She cherishes books very much.

The storage capacity of the human brain is limited.

Books are unlimited.

She wanted to find useful methods to control locusts from the book.

However, locusts have been difficult to deal with since ancient times. I watched until midnight and had no clue. Early the next morning, she called Xing Dalang, spent some money on her account, and bought back batches of little ducks.

In the pond, the lotus flowers are blooming.

The little ducks swung over in a row and plunged into the water. They were so furry and cute.

Yuan Shangyi lay on the other side of the flower wall and watched, then took Dong Bai and slipped away to Zhuangzi.

Lin Nvshi was full of anger, but she had been warned by Feng Yun yesterday, so she could only carry an umbrella, a water bag, and several maids to follow her out.

As soon as she arrived at the pond, she almost fainted before she could speak...

Is the big guy next to the little emperor a cat, a tiger, or a leopard?
With such a big head, Princess Yonghuai not only refused to chase him away, but actually allowed a dangerous thing to get close to His Majesty? (End of chapter)
