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~www.mtlnovel.com~ 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!"
