Regardless of whether Li Ersheng's original intention of swallowing locusts is to show off, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, the positive effects brought by swallowing locusts are irreplaceable by any other method!
"Hey~! Look! The fifteen Zhuangzi in Lantian County have completely wiped out the locusts yesterday! And it is expected that the remaining Zhuangzi in Lantian County will be wiped out today!"
"This... how is this possible?"
"It's true! Yonganhou used 150,000 chickens to form the Tianji brigade, and the children in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun are both proficient in chicken training. Yesterday those children led the Tianji brigade from Hanjiazhuang and Meicun and went all the way to the north. In more than two hours, fifteen locusts in Zhuangzi were wiped out! At this rate, the locusts in Lantian County can definitely be wiped out today!"
"Yes, yes! It's true! My eldest cousin is from Wangjiazhuang, Lantian County. Yesterday the Tianji Brigade did go to their Zhuangzi, and now there are basically no locusts in the field!"
"Hey~! So using chickens to kill locusts, is this method really reliable?"
"Of course! Look at this news, didn’t Yonganhou say that? An adult chicken can eat up to more than 300 locusts a day. Twenty chickens can almost guarantee that there are no locusts in an acre of land, Lord Hou. There were 150,000 chickens in the chicken brigade that day, and it is reasonable to say that it could indeed clear all the locusts in Lantian County within two days!"
"150,000! How could Yonganhou raise so many chickens?"
"Hey! Do you know who first proposed the policy of raising chickens to reduce taxes last year? It was Yonganhou! He first implemented it in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun, but Yonganhou had a good heart and distributed chicken seedlings to farmers for free. Raising chickens can not only reduce the rent, but the eggs laid by the chickens are also owned by the farmers! I heard that in this year, the farmers in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun sold eggs for dozens of dollars!"
"So many? No wonder the people in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun have built new houses~!"
"But my brother-in-law is from Lantian County, so why don't you have this treatment?"
"Hey! Your brother-in-law belongs to other Zhuangzi in Lantian County, right? You know that Hanjiazhuang and Meicun were the first Zhuangzi to merge into Hou Ye's fief. Can the treatment be the same? But now the entire Lantian County belongs to Yong'an Hou. The gap between Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi will definitely get smaller and smaller. I heard that now Lord Hou is letting people go to the town of Lantian County to pull wires. People in Lantian County are getting more and more blessed~!"
"Oh! Yeah! I heard that what kind of electric light can be bright! It is dozens of times brighter than a candle!"
"Huh? Do you think Lord Hou knew in advance that there would be a locust plague this year? How else would you buy so many chickens in advance?"
The common people saw another piece of news about the extermination of locusts in Lantian County next to the headline, and couldn’t help but talk about it, but I don’t know who said that Li Zexuan might have expected this year’s locust plague. The others couldn’t help but look at each other. The same speculation arose!
"Hey! Have you all forgotten? Hou Ye is a child of a fairy. Even if he expected this year's locust plague, what's so strange?"
"Yes, that's right! It is said that the chicken raising policy issued by the court last year was promoted by Master Hou!"
"That said, Lord Hou is a great benefactor to all of us!"
"Your Majesty is an eternal sage, Lord Hou must have been sent by God to assist your Majesty!"
"Yes, yes! Our life will definitely get better and better!"
Li Zexuan never thought of letting the people know that he prophesied the locust plague to the court last year, but what he did not expect is that under the superposition of various coincidences, some people guessed it by themselves, and the result of this guess is very close to the truth of the matter. Up!
"Have you seen? Tomorrow Lord Hou will take the Tianji brigade to the neighboring states and counties to eliminate locusts! What are we waiting for? Go home and prepare first!"
"Yes, yes, right! Go home and catch the locusts! The locusts caught now can be sold for some money. When the Tianji brigade arrives, they will not be caught!"
"Haha! Look, are you Zhao Ergou talking human words? Don't you think that the locusts are gone too quickly? Then you don't let the Tianji brigade go to your field?"
"That...that's not good! How can locusts have food expensive? Without food, my family will have to go hungry~!"
Because every state and county government is buying locusts, the people at this time are actually a little entangled in their hearts. If the locusts are wiped out too quickly, they can’t catch them and sell them for money; but if the locusts are wiped out too slowly, they will be in the fields. The crops are about to be endangered!
But basically most people still distinguish the importance. Compared with the small money sold by locusts, the food in the fields is undoubtedly more important! Now, after learning that the Tianji brigade is going to eliminate locusts across counties, the people from other counties hurried home and called on everyone in the family to catch all the locusts before the Tianji brigade came!
This can not only make a small fortune, but also quickly eliminate locusts and reduce crop losses!
I have to say that Li Ertun locusts plus Li Zexuan’s Tianji brigade cross-country eradication of locusts, this combination of punches is so beautiful, so that the people who were in a state of desperation by the locust plague, instantly ignited to continue living. Hope, and with high spirits, join the team of locusts and self-help!

"Mr. Zhang San, this is a chart going to the North American continent. I have marked the small islands in the middle that can provide supplies to the fleet. Maybe the location of some islands is not very precise, but the general orientation is definitely correct. ! This North American continent is a group of uncivilized peoples, I call them Indians!
They are the natives of the North American continent. They don’t have a unified dynasty like our Datang. At this time, they should still survive in a tribal way. Mr. Zhang San, if the people you brought have really reached the North American continent, In the beginning, remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. After all, your people are still too few compared to the entire Indian community! You must first win their trust, strive for their help, and gain a foothold locally! "
In the morning, after Li Zexuan had breakfast, he took a package to Yanhuang Academy and found the stunner. At this moment, the bearded man was tasting wine with Wang Ji. Li Zexuan did not evade Wang Ji, and directly explained his intentions to the stunner!
A trace of complexity flashed across the face of the Qiu Luke. He put down the wine glass and took the chart he had been thinking of from Li Zexuan's hand. But strangely, at this time, he didn't have the thought of opening it up. Perhaps he was reluctant to leave it. Right!
After sighing, the bearded man stood up and held his fist towards Li Zexuan, "Thank you, Shan Chang!"
He is not the kind of mother-in-law, even though there are a thousand words in his heart, he is unwilling to be a little daughter. The mother-in-law and mother-in-law talk endlessly. All the feelings are in these four words, "Thank you for the mountain long"!
Wang Ji, who was sitting aside, was a little surprised. He looked at the bearded guy and said in astonishment, "Mr. Zhang San, are you leaving the college?"
The bearded guest looked at the drinker who had been with him for nearly a year, and his eyes flashed a little bit, but he smiled boldly on his face: "Haha! There is no permanent banquet in this world. Although the wine in the academy is good, the people are good. , But the vast sea is what Zhang Zhongjian wants in my heart! Next time I wait for a family to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty, I will find you to drink for three days and three nights, and get drunk for a while!"
There was a trace of sadness on Wang Ji's face, and he sighed: "Zhong Jian likes sailing and adventure, so let's go! A life, but only a few dozen years, and being able to do something he likes, this kind of life is the most exciting life. But when Zhong Jian is gone, the old man has lost a drinker. No matter how drunk the gods are, I am afraid they can only be intoxicating but not drunk~! Haha! Shan Chang, Zhong Jian, talk to you, Wang goes to the workshop turn!"
Having said that, Wang Ji shook his head and walked away from the armrest, looking at his rickety back, he seemed to be a little old again!
"Mr. Wang has an arrogant personality, and the whole world is afraid that there are few people who can make him a confidant! Does Mr. Zhang San still insist on leaving?"
Li Zexuan paused for a moment, then said suddenly.
The bearded guest said quietly: "Why are you a confidant, why not worry about distance? Besides, Datang is thriving now. With a Mingjun like Li Shimin and a virtuous minister like Shanchang, it is difficult for Zhang to imagine what the Tang Dynasty will be in ten years. What? Maybe when a certain family can't hang around overseas, they will go back to the academy desperately, ask the mountain leader to beg for food, and Lao Wang for a drink!"
If you dare to call Li Erming directly in Datang, it is estimated that only the guilty bearded person has the courage!
Li Zexuan said sincerely: "As long as Mr. Zhang San is willing, the door of Yanhuang Academy will always be open for you!"
The bearded man's eyes flickered, and then faintly said: "This year in the academy is the easiest year in a certain family's life. There is no intrigue, no hardship in martial arts, no blood and blood, and no competition for dominance, only teaching. A group of students accepted an unsatisfactory apprentice, and drank alcohol and drink with Lao Wang, and it was very happy!"
Li Zexuan almost laughed when he heard the phrase "accepting an unsatisfactory apprentice". At first, the stunner wanted to adjust the tutorial, so he accepted him as a direct disciple and taught martial arts. However, Cheng Chumo was born with a desire not to learn martial arts. Every time, he shirks the training of the shackles by studying and preparing for exams. The shackles are not only Cheng Chumo’s master, but also the master of the academy. There is no reason to stop Cheng Chumo from studying the academy courses. Therefore, this year has passed, Cheng Chumo’s martial arts Not much progress!
However, the bearded guy didn't mean to laugh at all, his eyes became a little iron and blood at this moment, just listen to him continue:
"After a comfortable life, I have enjoyed everything that should be enjoyed. Next, a certain house should go to the old days when the wind and waves are beaten and the blood is licked by the knife! With the chart of the mountain long, a certain house can cross the sea. , I want to see, Zhang Zhongjian, how high the day is and how big the ground is! Haha!"
In the face of such a proud and dry bearded customer, Li Zexuan couldn't help feeling a little shaken for a while. After a moment, Li Zexuan took out a small test book from the package and said:
"The North American continent is rich in land and rich in minerals. I have several plants here that I need to ask Mr. Zhang San to bring back. I have recorded their appearance and growth habits in this booklet! Two of them are particularly important. Mr. Zhang San, please send someone to find and return to Datang anyway!
The first thing I call it a potato, the body is yellow and round, the primary leaf is a single leaf, the whole. With the growth of the plant, the pinnate compound leaves are gradually formed. The underground tubers are round, egg, elliptical, with bud eyes, and the skin is red, yellow, white or purple. The yield of this thing is extremely high, with a yield of more than a thousand catties per mu, which can be used for cooking, and it can also be used as food to satisfy hunger during the famine years! "
The bearded guy was surprised: "Yield a thousand catties per mu? There is such a baby in this world?"
You should know that the yield of grain crops in this era, such as rice and wheat, is only about 100 catties per mu. When the maturity is not good, it is not surprising that the yield per mu is tens of catties. Suddenly it was incredible!
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "There is only more, not less. What's more important is that potatoes are more drought-resistant than rice and wheat. Therefore, Mr. Zhang San must be sure to bring potatoes back! There is another crop, I take care of it. It is called corn, which is also very resistant to drought. The yield per mu is at least three to four hundred catties. The plant is tall, the leaves are flat and wide, and the caryopsis are spherical or oblate. After maturity, the glumes and palea are exposed. I paint the specific appearance. It's coming out~EbookFREE.me~ Then Mr. Zhang San can let people follow the picture to find out!"
With the previous potatoes, now the bearded guy is not very surprised about the corn. He took the pamphlet in Li Zexuan's hand, then clasped his fist and said: "The head of the mountain gave a certain company such a detailed chart, just a few seeds, as long as he can find it. , Zhang will definitely send someone to the head of the mountain at that time!"
After staying in the academy for a year, and looking for a few plants for Li Zexuan, this was originally the condition that the beard had agreed to Li Zexuan, and there was nothing to dispute.
Li Zexuan nodded, and said, "In addition to potatoes and corn, there are other crops that are recorded in this booklet. If you can find it, it's the best thing. If you can't find it, it won't hurt!"
The bearded guest nodded and said, "A certain family must go all out!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "In fact, if Mr. Zhang San can wait another half a year, maybe I can help you build a bigger and better boat for long voyages, the risk will definitely be much smaller!"
The bearded guest waved his hand and said: "Haha! Thank you for the great kindness of the mountain! But this time is a good season to go to sea. Wait a few months, the fleet may encounter wind, waves, rain and snow when it is halfway. Besides, the current ships It's enough! I really encounter a storm at sea, and no big ship can hold it!"
Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Since Mr. Zhang San insists on leaving, then I won't stop it! Tomorrow I am going to another county, and I don't know when I can come back. After Mr. Zhang San is ready, he can leave by himself! As for the sailing needs Compass, Mr. Zhang San can go to Mr. Wang for a batch, but be careful not to let the compass get into the hands of foreigners!"
The guy with a beard said joyfully: "The leader can rest assured! A certain family will never let the compass fall into a foreign country!"
"Ok!"
