Chapter 48: A plan to eliminate locusts, fight for fate with heaven!

The atmosphere in the study is very depressing.

Li's father and mother have now believed in the prophecies that Li's son said

to his son, but this kind of thing, even if it is known in advance, what can

be done, at best, it can store a batch of food in advance to ensure that his

family will not starve to death.

But there will still be thousands of people out there who starve to death

because of no food production. Although Li's father and Li's mother are not

good people of the ninth generation, they know that many people will starve to

death in the future, but they are powerless, and both of them are extremely

sad.

Li Zexuan had also worried before. If his father knew about the locust plague,

would he think about hoarding food in advance, and then driving up the price

of food and making a natural disaster. But now seeing his father's expression

of sadness, Li Zexuan knew that he was thinking too much, and secretly said

that he was a villain.

But knowing that the old man is not that kind of villain, Li Zexuan is still a

little relieved, he walked up to the old man and said firmly:

"Father, if we don’t try, how can we know that we can’t fight the heavens?

Master said before he was alive that the world thinks that humans cannot fight

the heavens, but they don’t know that it is just an excuse for the weak to

make for their own failures. Do everything possible and go all out, so a

person can conquer the sky!"

When Li Jingmo heard these words from his son, his blood boiled for a moment.

He looked up at his son and asked:

"Xuan'er, did you think of a good way?"

Li Zexuan sat back on Hu stool, took a sip of tea, nodded, and replied:

"Since Longhushan came back, the boy has been thinking about solutions. In

those days, when I thought that a year later, all parts of Datang would be

hungry for thousands of miles, and the boy would worry about eating and

sleeping... "

"Ahem! Don't talk nonsense, talk about the point!" Li Jingmo interrupted

quickly.

slander, your kid still has the face to say that he can't eat, can't sleep,

eat in a different way every day, and get a gnawed chicken out, and one day

you won't get up until you sleep three poles!

Mrs. Li was also amused by her son’s shameless remarks. She found that her

son’s face was getting thicker and thicker, but it’s okay to have a thicker

face. It’s not easy to suffer. Anyway, Mrs. Li sees his son no matter what. it

is good.

Seeing that his father and mother's expression was not as depressed as before,

Li Zexuan knew that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped playing

treasures and continued seriously:

"My boy accidentally thought of a method today that can eliminate the locusts

to a large extent, and at least it can ensure that the food of our family

village will not be harmed by the time!"

Li Zexuan saw that a grasshopper brought by Tie Dan was snatched by a rooster

today, so he made a living.

In this era without chemical pesticides, Li Zexuan can only think of using

biological control methods to deal with locusts. It is obvious that the

overwhelming locusts can not be caught manually by hand. Only large numbers of

animals that can prey on locusts can be kept.

Do not underestimate the power of biological control. Li Zexuan has seen a

technical post in his previous life. According to statistics, a black-spotted

frog can prey on more than 135 locust bugs (locust larvae) a day, and a black

frog can prey on 120 per day. There are many locust bugs. Toads can eat more

than 160 locust bugs a day, and an adult bird can eat 167 adult locusts a day.

Just imagine if tens of millions of white birds can be introduced at this

moment, then after the outbreak of locust plague next year, these tens of

millions of birds will be able to eat all the locusts in Datang overnight.

But because birds and frogs are not easy to raise on a large scale, Li Zexuan

wanted to build a large-scale chicken farm and mobilize all the power of

Hanjiazhuang to raise as many as he could.

Li Jingmo has traveled north and south for so many years, and has never heard

of any way to deal with the locust plague. He curiously said: "Xuan'er, what

solution did you think of?"

Li Zexuan did not answer, but instead asked, "Father, if there is a way to

control locusts, it can ensure that Hanjiazhuang’s entire village will not be

lost when the locust plague comes, but it requires our family to pay a lot of

money, dad, are you willing? ?"

Li Jingmo glared at him when he heard the words, and said in an aura: "You

stinky boy regards your father as someone. Saving a life is better than

building a seventh-level float. If there is a way, how can I see your father?"

Mrs. Li also agreed: "Xuan'er, if you have any way, just say it directly. Both

your mother and your father will fully support you. If the money is gone, your

father can still make more money, but watched so many people starve to death.

I'm afraid I won't feel at ease for the rest of my life!"

Li Zexuan was also moved by the sincere kindness of his mother, nodded and

continued:

"Father, the child’s method is very simple. Our family is responsible for

providing chicken seedlings to the Hanjiazhuang farmers, and let all the

farmers help us raise chickens. Depending on the number of chickens raised by

each farmer, they will be exempted from 10% to 30% of the rent.

When the locusts come next year and the chickens have grown up, we can ask the

farmer to drive the chickens into the ground and let these chickens eat all

the locusts.

This will not only protect the crops, but also the chickens will grow faster.

When the locust plague is over, we can sell these chickens or supply them

directly to Zuixianlou. In this way, we can neither lose money nor help. The

dealer has a handful. "

Li Jingmo listened to his son talking about the strategy, while Li summed it

up in his mind. When his son finished speaking, he found that his son was

talking about the truth, and he was very pleased that he had considered all

aspects of the problem. However, he still had a question in his heart and

asked:

"Xuan'er, your idea is quite thorough, it may not be impossible, but can you

really eat all the locusts in Hanjiazhuang with these chickens?"

Li Zexuan smiled confidently:

"Father, don't underestimate the ability of chickens. My child once read a

book. It said that an adult chicken can eat up to more than 300 locusts a day.

By then, the child will estimate that 20 chickens will be enough. Make sure

that there are no locusts in one acre of land. As long as the plan goes on

smoothly, we can fight the fate of the sky!

The chickens that are fed with locusts grow fast and the meat is very

delicious. After the locust plague, if these chickens are supplied to

Zuixianlou, we can definitely raise the price. "

Although Li Jingmo didn't know which book would record such boring things, he

nodded thoughtfully when he saw what his son had said.

Mrs. Li asked again at this time: "Xuan'er, if they drive the chickens to the

ground, what should they do if they eat the crops?"

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Mother, there are so many locusts in the field,

chickens must have no appetite to eat crops!"

Mrs. Li suddenly realized.

Li Zexuan saw that the two elders were almost convinced by himself, so he

asked the old man:

"Father, how much money can our family spare at this stage?"

Li Jingmo thought for a while, and said, "If you give you three days to be

your father, you will probably be able to free up 300,000 sticks for your

father!"

Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard the words. He knew that his father was

very rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich that he would be able to free up

300,000 units of working capital in just three days.

At present, the entire year's fiscal revenue of Datang is only about 20

million yuan.

And these 300,000 Guans are only part of the current assets ~www.mtlnovel.com~

Adding those real assets, Li Zexuan can hardly imagine how rich his family is.

Li Jingmo swallowed in shock when his son was shocked, and couldn't help

feeling a little proud, finally regaining his position in the family.

Li Zexuan was stunned for a long time before saying:

"Father, let's take out one hundred and fifty thousand sticks. You ask someone

to buy food. You can store as much food as you can. Only when there is more

food, we are confident. The other one hundred and fifty thousand sticks will

be used to buy chicken from Hanjiazhuang. Miao, build a chicken coop, and save

the remaining part for emergencies. What do you think, dad?"

With a solution, and more importantly, with the support of his father’s strong

financial strength, Li Zexuan is now very motivated, and he secretly rejoices

that fortunately, he is reborn in a rich second generation. Otherwise, even if

he has a way to control locusts, he can only play a small fight. It's just a

small trouble, but it's completely different now. If the plan goes well, Li

Zexuan can save the people in a large area.

Li Jingmo touched his beard and said, "Okay, just follow Xuan'er's plan.

However, we must not spread the things today, otherwise our family will be a

disaster."

Li Zexuan knew what was going on, nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, the

child knows the severity. In a few days, the iron egg is cured, and the child

will go to Hanjiazhuang with them by the way, and find Han Lizheng to make an

agreement. The sooner the plan is The better the implementation!"

Li Jingmo nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Li smiled meaningfully at this moment: "Xuan'er, you are no longer a

young boss. It's time to think about lifelong events. Mother thinks that girl

Han is pretty good."

Li Jingmo's face was full of question marks, not knowing what happened.

Li Zexuan blushed, embarrassed, and quickly fled.

Mrs. Li shook her head and laughed, "This kid..."
