Mohist Tang

“In fact, apart from the seed issue, I came here today to find the Minister of Agriculture.” Li Shimin looked towards Su Lingnong.

“This old official panic, I don’t know what is going on with Your Majesty?” Su Lingnong said hurriedly.

“From ancient times to the present, there will be locust plagues after the severe drought. There was a severe drought in the early spring of today. Although the military and civilians of Guanzhong worked with a common purpose and survived the drought, I am afraid that the shocking days of the second year of Zhenguan will appear again. The locust plague, I want to find the Minister of Agriculture to investigate the situation, prepare in advance, and take precautions before it happens.”

Li Shimin thought of the large locust plague that covered the land in the second year of Zhenguan, and couldn’t help but fight a cold war.

“reporting to Your Majesty, since the second year of Zhenguan, Your Majesty swallowed locusts and told Ghost God, Great Tang, from then on, there will be no more locust plagues.” Su Lingnong complimented.

Li Shimin heard Su Lingnong’s compliment, and he immediately felt proud. He swallowed locusts and killed them, which was the most glorious thing in his life.

Li Shimin looked modest but actually flaunted: “Although I had already wiped out the locusts at the time, but after a few years of this matter, I was afraid that the locusts would have no faith and would be harmed again and again.”

During the spring drought, Li Shimin slayed the Dragon King in anger and broke away the ignorance and superstition. Naturally, he didn’t believe that he could overcome the locust plague forever by swallowing a locust.

“This small official has already issued an order. If there are signs of a locust plague, come immediately. This small official is not in the government these days, but Sinong Temple knows that this old official is in Mohist. Residence, did not come to report the locust plague. Su Lingnong said in doubt.

Li Shimin also said depressed: “Not only that, there are no signs of locust plagues reported in the counties of Guannei Road. I am also uneasy. Only then came to find the Minister of Agriculture and go outside Chang’an City. Lets explore together.”

There must be a locust plague in a severe drought. This is a thousand-year-old law. Li Shimin doesnt determine it personally. A catastrophe.

Mo Dun said: “Your Majesty, the youngster knows a little bit about this.”

Li Shimin looked towards Mo Dun, suddenly said: “If you don’t tell me, I forget No signs of locust plagues have been reported on Mohist Periodical!”

Mo Dun nodded said: At this time, there is indeed no locust plague on all roads in Guanzhong. Drought resistance on a large scale has alleviated the drought.”

Su Lingnong nodded, the alleviation of the drought can indeed alleviate the locust plague.

“The second is the Guanzhong area. Since Mohist Family pioneered the artificial incubation technology, it has taken the lead in selling chicken, duck and goose cubs to various places in Guanzhong. It is a natural food for chickens and ducks.” Mo Dun continued.

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Mo Dun incredible: “You mean these chickens and ducks wiped out the locust plague?”

Mo Dun solemnly nodded said:” It is nature for chickens to eat insects. The people in Guanzhong lack surplus food. Wherever they are willing to feed chickens and ducks with grain, the locusts covering the mountains and plains are the most natural food for chickens, ducks and geese. Among the people in Guanzhong, a large number of locusts are captured and fed. Chickens and ducks, and even drove them to the fields, just like grazing, letting them catch locusts for food by themselves.”

“Chickens, ducks.” Li Shimin eyes shined immediately.

Mo Dun praised: “Your Majesty’s description is very appropriate. The people save food and eliminate the locusts. This method can be described as one move, two gains.”

“The chickens and ducks can eliminate the locust plague?” Su Lingnong said in disbelief. From his long life, every time it was a locust plague was a desperate struggle.

“One or two chickens and ducks are of course impossible, but if there are a few thousand, tens of thousands of chickens and ducks?” Mo Dun said. Before that, due to the scarcity of poultry, it was naturally impossible to have such large-scale chickens. Ducks, but since Mohist Family created the artificial incubation technology, the number of chickens, ducks and geese is no longer a limit, and it is possible to kill locusts by herding chickens and ducks. Otherwise, even if you know the method, you can only sigh and feel helpless.

“Of course, large-scale locust plagues are of course impossible, but this method is used to eliminate the newly emerging locust plagues and small-scale locust plagues, and it is nothing difficult. The Mohist Family test field outside the South City is conducting ducks and locusts. I dont know Your Majesty Are you interested in seeing it?” Mo Dun said.

“What are you waiting for?” Su Lingnong said impatiently. If this method of eradicating locusts can be achieved, then it might be the blessing of the people of the world.

Outside the south city gate, the Mohist Family test field.

“gu gu gu!”

When Li Shimin and the crowd just got off the Carriage, they heard a deafening sound wave assaults the senses.

“What the hell is this sound so loud.” Li Shimin opened his mouth in shock.

Su Lingnong suddenly had a wonderful face and said loudly: “Replying to his Majesty, this is the voice of a duck.”

Li Shimin secretly slandered in his heart, although he has been in the deep palace for a long time. Among them, it is not that I have never seen domestic ducks. Although the domestic ducks are a bit noisy, they are not so noisy.

Mo Dun said with a bitter smile: “Replying to his Majesty, this is the cry of tens of thousands of ducks.”

At this moment, it is already setting sun, see Li Shimin Have been to a spectacular scene.

A duck carrying a fat and round belly was driven out of the field by the brother of Mohist Family Son. Wherever he went, locusts flew around, but they were caught by lightning. , Swallow the belly.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand, and even tens of thousands, one by one, like soldiers returning from victory, proudly boasting of military merit.

“Young Master!” Mo Da saw his Young Master coming and hurried forward.

“How are the locusts killed?” Su Lingnong asked hurriedly.

“Returning to Lord Su, a total of nearly 10,000 ducks have been invested this time. In just one day, the small guarantee will wipe out the locusts on the hundreds of acres of test fields.” Mo with a dark face. Da knew that Lord Su in front of him was the official of the Imperial court and quickly replied.

“Can a little domestic duck eat so many locusts?” Li Shimin was surprised.

“Adults do not know that domestic ducks eat a huge amount of food, and they are slow and easy to manage, much easier than herding chickens.” Mo Da wiped his sweat said with a smile, Although he doesn’t know Li Shimin, he also knows that the person who can accompany the Young Master must be a senior official.

Li Shimin didn’t believe it. He went to the field to survey it personally, and found that where the domestic ducks walked, not only the locusts were forbidden in the field, but even some insects were wiped out.

We must know that in this era, there are no pesticides and no chemicals. The locusts can be said to have been repeatedly banned. I did not expect that shepherd ducks could have such an effect.

“reporting to Your Majesty, locusts are difficult to ban. In addition to being able to reproduce in large numbers, they are also difficult to catch, and can fly and migrate. As long as they are discovered in advance and released herding ducks, their locust plagues can be eliminated. In the bud, and the herding ducks raised by the people are delicious, it is a rare delicacy. Mo Dun said.

Su Lingnong was suddenly excited: “Okay! With this recipe, Great Tang will no longer be afraid of locust plagues.”

He looked towards Mo Dun and couldnt help but feel a little grateful. Mo Dun has already promoted the artificial incubation technology throughout Great Tang. Great Tang certainly does not lack chickens and ducks. As long as the method of herding ducks is promoted nationwide, Great Tang’s locust occurrence is almost minimized.

“Misfortunes depend on the fortunes; the ancients sincerely do not deceive me.” Li Shimin exclaimed.

Cotton looks like the blessing of Great Tang, but it hides the calamity that caused Great Tangs currency to collapse. The locust plague torture is a great disaster, and there is even the law of herding ducks. Mu Ya this delicacy.

“Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. What I am waiting to do is to seek fortune and avoid misfortune, and man will conquer the sky.” Mo Dun’s voice is powerful and powerful, even if it is the noise of thousands of ducks.
