In Chang'an city.
All the people are crazy, catching locusts, while the insecticide of a beacon tower yesterday is still burning far and away.
From the starting point of Chang'an to Hedong Road, Henan Road, Jiannan Road, Shannan Road, Jiangnan Road and Longyou Road, all beacon towers were lit.
Even, there are people in the right place, using the fire belt said by Zhang Feng, using the method of burning by fire, plus the auxiliary medicinal materials burned in the fire, which immediately weakened the deterrence of locusts.
But it's just appearance.
The overwhelming locusts are still coming from the direction of Longyou, Tuyuhun and Tubo.
Although Li Shimin waved his hand again.
The mobilization of all pharmacies and the collection of all available medicinal materials have somewhat weakened this momentum.
But now.
The momentum is gone.
Moreover, Tuyuhun and Tubo didn't believe Li Shimin at the beginning, but at the sight of this momentum, the two countries picked up the herbal prescription given to them by changsun Wuji and also imitated the appearance of the Tang Dynasty.
Little by little.
Not to mention, although some people are dizzy and even have diarrhea, at least the locusts have been killed!
This undoubtedly brought them exciting news. At this time, none of the people of Tubo and Tuyuhun thanked their king, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
If it hadn't been for him, they would have died at this time.
In three days, the locust finally stopped at its root.
But looking at the bare earth, everyone was stunned.
How can you plant crops like this?
This year, all the food in the field was fed to those damn locusts. What will people do next?
And now.
Li Shimin and his party have come to Shilipo outside Chang'an city.
Li Shimin and his party were about 300 people, but everyone pretended to be the people who caught locusts. At this time, the trees were still there, but there were no leaves on the trees and they were bald. There were dense locusts stun by insecticides on the trees and on the ground.
Looking at the endless bare land, Li Shimin asked in surprise: "little noble son, this... Is Shilipo? I remember this place once had lush vegetation and was all jungle. Why are the trees bald and the turf?"
"Emperor... All eaten by locusts..."
"It's all gone..."
The little noble son's face was full of grief.
Li Shimin was dizzy. If Wei Shuyu hadn't had a heart and helped Li Shimin, Li Shimin might have sat on the ground at this time.
"This... How is this possible!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Is this the power of locusts?
If there was no formula from brother Zhang Feng, it would take more than a month to control most locusts in such a short time. Even if you want to achieve the current results!
Here.
At the thought of next year, that is, the third year of Zhenguan, there will be another locust disaster worse than now. Li Shimin can't help but be frightened.
If this is true, all the herbs have been consumed this year. What about next year?
What about next year?
He did not expect that if they did so this year, they would let the locusts destroy all the locusts before the breeding period. With all the chicken and duck troops going out, where would there be locusts next year?
Plus fire.
And if Tubo Tuyuhun uses herbs that can directly kill locusts, where will there be locusts next year?
Even if there are, it will only be sporadic, far less than the scale of this year.
Li Shimin didn't think of all this at this time.
He was just stunned by what was in front of him.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
Right now.
A large group of ducks and chicks who could not see the edge came from a distance driven by hundreds of people.
At this time, the ducks have a bulging stomach. Driven by the herders, they circle a large area on the edge of the Weihe River to let the ducks rest temporarily. It seems that tomorrow, this ten mile slope is their next battlefield.
Li Shimin was not in a better mood until he saw the ducks and chickens.
After all, although everything is bald now, as long as there are no subsequent locusts, the ten mile slope will recover in less than a month.
It's just a matter of time.
Locust plague can be controlled this year, not to mention next year?
Since Zhang Feng can think of this method, what about next year?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was a little tired and patrolled again.
"Eh? Lao Li? You've made a fortune with your servants!"
Just then, a man suddenly appeared from behind the crowd and watched Li Shimin waving his hands.
At this time, he had been held by the makeup Jin Wuwei.
When Li Shimin heard the voice, he didn't know who it was?
He turned quickly and drank back the crowd.
"What are you doing? Let go of brother Zhang Feng!"
"Brother, why are you here?"
Li Shimin hurried over and asked.
Zhang Feng pointed to the basket behind him.
"Don't you have nothing to do? Come here to see if you can get some game, but you can also see that there are locusts and grasshoppers here. Don't you see the ducks and think about buying some and making sauce board ducks!"
