Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 548 Take Action
When Princess Pingyang came back from the palace, the lights had already come on, Tan Nu was asleep, but Shui Nu was still asleep, and they were waiting for their mother to come home with their father.

Xue Lang asked Shui Nu to sit on his back, and he fell on the ground to do push-ups. The little Shui Nu followed his father's ups and downs, laughing and clapping his little hands to count.In the past, she didn't teach her how to count. She just did a few push-ups for her father and counted her own fruits and candies. Gradually, she was able to count.

When the princess came home, what she saw was the naked father holding the fat daughter up and playing the game of raising the height. The fat girl was so happy and screamed, very excited.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, and said: "You tease her like this, you shouldn't go to bed later!"

"mother!"

The fat girl and her father turned their heads together, and the smiles on their faces were very similar.The smile on Princess Pingyang's face softened a bit, and she reached out to hug the fat girl who was outstretched for a hug, and weighed her: "Baby, why do you feel heavy again?"

Xue Lang put on his clothes and said with a smile: "I also feel heavy, but, kid, it's okay to be fat, as long as you don't become a small ball!"

A child with enough weight means that he has a good appetite, and a good appetite will naturally improve his body, improve his resistance, and reduce the number of illnesses.This is Mammy's theory, Princess Pingyang has never raised a child, so it is natural to listen to someone with experience.

Just like Xue Lang, since time travel, he has been exercising for years and years, and he is tall. Now that he is nearly [-] years old, he has developed a figure with wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and an eight-pack abs in his abdomen. Of course, because of limited exercise, the muscles are not particularly developed, and it is obvious that there is flesh in the clothes, and the clothes look thin.If this was in modern times, it would definitely be at the level of a male god.

The couple coaxed the water slave to sleep first, and Xue Lang asked the kitchen to serve the porridge for Princess Pingyang. She drank a lot of wine with the old saint in the palace and ate little. Just let people cook millet porridge with a plate of pickled kimchi, which is very appetizing.

A small bowl, which is not too big, is just a pad for the stomach, and it will be finished in a while.After drinking, the husband and wife went for a walk in the small yard to digest food.Princess Pingyang asked: "Yu Erlang...have you made it clear?"

Xue Lang nodded: "I have evidence, and I'm not just talking about it, so I've made it clear!"

Princess Pingyang glanced at him and smiled slightly: "So, what do you need to do for your wife? Besides preparing as many chickens and ducks as possible, what else do you need to prepare?"

Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "The conditions are limited, except for chickens and ducks, just prepare more transparent white paper, make more lanterns, and wait for me to draw and post the styles tomorrow. Also, let's weave more net bags. The manager of Zhuangzi under the name of the two sons called over to explain clearly to everyone and emphasize it well. I thought, it’s not enough to rely on chickens and ducks, so mobilize as many people as possible, let’s manually trap! We must eliminate as many locusts as possible during the summer locust stage. , it is best not to spread to the stage of autumn locusts, otherwise, the next year will be a mess, and the loss will be too great!"

Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "I will prepare a post tomorrow to invite my sisters, aunts, and aunts to come over and talk about this matter."

"Ok!"

Xue Lang agreed, took Princess Pingyang's hand, and walked slowly.Relying on the convenience of the prophet, in the past two years, he has been consciously increasing the number of chickens and ducks, and even made people burn the kang. He has done many experiments, and it should be to cultivate a few good hands who can practice artificial hatching based on experience. Come.

The Yongye Field under the two people's names is cultivated by each other's trilogy. There is no problem with loyalty, and it is naturally convenient to command, and they have made preparations early.

However, the locust plague is large-scale and swarms. It is not enough for their family to be prepared. To deal with the locust plague, it is obvious that we can only use the route of brainstorming and teamwork.

After a few days, Xue Lang was called into the palace.In the Lizheng Hall, Li Er, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, etc. were all present, all of whom were Xiao Li's cronies.In the temple, baskets of soil almost filled the ground.

Everyone's expressions were a little dignified.

Xue Lang was about to salute, but Xiao Li waved his hands and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

Xue Lang still insisted on finishing the salute, and then quickly walked over to look at the clods.Li Erdao: "These soil clods are all collected from places where there has been drought in the past two years. Youyang, come and take a look!"

"Here!"

Xue Lang knelt down, took the small shovel handed over by the palace man, and carefully shoveled the soil while pulling it with his hands, not feeling dirty at all.Looking at the baskets one by one, the brows became more and more wrinkled——

The number of locust eggs in these clods is amazing!
After inspecting the last basket of soil, Xue Lang frowned and squatted on the ground, not in a hurry to get up, just squatting like that: "Your Majesty, before spring begins, there is still some distance before the hatching of locust eggs, so start preparing for it." Bar!"

"Yes! I have sent an order to gather chickens and ducks for the coming year."

When Xue Lang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are too many chickens and ducks gathered together, which are prone to outbreaks of disease, and we must be prepared for it. How about this, wait for the minister to go back and write a knowledge of disease prevention. When the time comes, it will be printed and distributed." Disseminate widely! Give priority to places where locust plagues may break out, and the right is to spread knowledge.”

Xiao Li looked at Xue Lang with burning eyes, but did not immediately agree.In the hall, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at Xue Lang more.

Xue Lang raised his head strangely, and Xiao Li said: "Good, so I will hand it over to Youyang."

Xue Lang readily agreed: "Here. It's not that I'm boasting. In this hall, if it comes to understanding the locust plague, I'm afraid there is no one else but me! Contribute and work together to get through the disaster is the most important thing!"

"Great!"

Li Er gave a praise, and all the ministers also applauded, but Xue Lang was ashamed to praise him.

Fang Xuanling asked: "If you dare to ask the son-in-law, I can tell that in the newly collected soil clods, there are more locust eggs than in the soil clods that the son-in-law brought into the palace, but the plague of locusts in these places will be more serious than those near Chang'an in the coming year. Serious evidence?"

This is a practical question!

Xue Lang said: "No. In the soil clod I brought into the palace, there are fewer locust eggs than in the soil clod collected by His Majesty. That's because since the drought, I have intentionally controlled it, but even That's right, the locust eggs in the soil clods are more than one year."

"Why is this so? But the concubine's method of prevention and treatment has not worked?"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked.Xue Lang shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

Li Er hurriedly said: "I also ask Youyang to explain the confusion for everyone, and explain in detail."

"Here!"

Xue Lang said: "There are three stages in the growth process of locusts! The first stage is the eggs, which are hidden in the soil; the second stage, hatching from the soil, drilled out of the ground, but have not yet grown wings, called nymphs; The shells grow up several times, and then grow wings. After they have the ability to fly, they become adults, which is also the third stage. As for locusts, they move in swarms, large tracts of farmland, and the locusts in my field Some of them were destroyed, but the seedlings were there. In order to find food, other families would fly over. Only my family’s control, if other families did not control, naturally the effect would be very small. But, after all, it was controlled. The soil collected in my field There are fewer insect eggs, and the soil clods collected from other fields naturally have more insect eggs, which is not surprising."

"I see!"

Changsun Wuji nodded again and again, and then asked again: "So, to prevent and control the locust plague, it must be done in a piece-by-piece manner. Only by working together can it be effective?"

"Correct!"

Xue Lang praised Changsun Wuji's quick response.Fang Xuanling at the side said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, from this point of view, many departments must be used to control locusts. For the convenience of locust control, a temporary organization must be established."

"My minister agrees!"

Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji bowed and said.Li Er nodded, and after pondering for a while, he immediately said: "In this case, I will take the lead, Xuanling will be in charge, and Youyang will assist, gather the six departments and the departments of Sinonong, Shaofu, Weiwei, etc., and concentrate on preparing for the outbreak in the coming year. prepare for the plague of locusts.”

Everything is for the control of the locust plague!
Xue Lang naturally did his part: "Here!"
