Chapter 88

King Jing completely trusted Li Yu, but it was very important to deal with the locust disaster. King Jing stopped, took the plum fish's hand, and looked worried. He seemed to ask him if he was sure?

Li Yu said with a smile: "yes, yes. But the means may not be very decent. "

King Jing doesn't care about decency. He is more worried about the safety of plum fish than whether he can stop the locust disaster. In general, people usually use fire to cure locusts. Although many insects can be burned in a short time, there will be a risk of burns near the fire. If the small fish is carp essence, he will be afraid of fire?

Li Yu saw his concern and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't fight in person."

In other words, it's not him who is going to fight. He should not be regarded as a powerful goblin who can call the wind and rain. He is just a system fish, and he is also very afraid of insects!

King Xu watched Li Yu and saw that he was not joking. He nodded his head and allowed him to have a try.

Li Yu begged for paper and pen and wrote down a few at a time. It was also a coincidence that before Li Yu put on the book, it happened that some countries in the original world were plagued by locusts. His country gave some help. Under his curiosity, Li Yu roughly studied how to deal with the locust plague. Although he didn't remember all of them, he thought it was very interesting, and several of them were still fresh in his memory.

They are deep ploughing, grain selection and duck army.

King:?

Li Yu tried to explain everything for him in a way that the ancients could probably understand: "deep ploughing means that the eggs of locusts and insects grow in the soil. When ploughing, the soil should be turned deep as far as possible, and the eggs will be exposed to the sun and will To die in the sun. "

"Grain selection means that locusts do not eat all crops. If more crops are planted that locusts do not eat, locusts will not be able to make trouble if they have less food to eat."

King Wang is intelligent and can get through it in a little bit. Both of them are really interesting.

King Jing's eyes fall on the third one. What is the duck army? It's the one he thinks Duck?

"Your Highness is right." The plum fish blinked, "the so-called one thing can conquer one thing, and ducks can eat locusts. For the first two, it should be too late for the places where locusts have been plagued. Now your highness can get more ducks to solve the urgent problem. This is called Duck army. "

King Jing:.... "

The king frowned. The fish, especially the duck army, had never heard of it.

But the little fish's words sound reasonable, at least not with fire, there is no danger of life, King slowly nodded.

Some families in Luofeng town have raised ducks, which are not large in number. They were originally used to sell money and eat for themselves.

King Jing asked Wang Xi to buy some. If the ducks can eat locusts, I'll see if they can.

Wang Xi took the job himself, got up in the morning and went before dawn. He ran back in an hour and said excitedly, "Your Highness, it's really useful! The old slave saw with his own eyes that several ducks ate a lot of locusts as soon as they landed on the ground. From the time the old slave came back, they were eating all the time without stopping! "

Wang Xi came back to report the news in a hurry, and happily one of his shoes ran away.

According to Wang Xi's words, a duck ate about 100 ducks in one breath. King Jing estimated it roughly, but he was also excited.

At this time, if the emperor was to be rewarded first, and the Ministry of housing provided funds to buy ducks, he would come and go once or twice, for fear that the plague of locusts would be more serious.

King Jing needed this opportunity to let Wang Xi go. With the money of King Jing's house, he first bought all the live ducks in the western frontier. If the whole western frontier was not enough, he would send people to buy them in some nearby states and counties.

Li Yu thought again: "Your Highness, don't just buy big ones. You can buy some ducklings to raise. You can set up a farm to raise ducks. Ducks grow very fast and can catch up with locusts."

King Wang's mind moved. This is also a way to make Wang Xizhao do it.

A duck is not expensive. King king king has plenty of money. People in Luofeng town are grateful for King King's repulsion of bandits. They learn that king Jingwang wants to buy ducks. However, those who have ducks in their families rush to deliver them. Many people don't receive any money. Nearby states and counties heard that king Jingwang bought ducks to cure locusts. They were very curious. They also drew a lively picture and sent ducks to Luofeng town in groups.

King Jing ordered his bodyguards to meet him along the way to ensure the safety of the common people. He was also afraid of bandits taking advantage of the fire. However, the bandits heard that King Jing wanted to cure locusts, so they were waiting to watch King King Jing's excitement. For the time being, they could not look forward to robbing some ducks.

Wang Xi quickly gathered together 5000 live ducks and nearly 1000 ducklings.

The ducks still need to be fed, and live ducks form an army of ducks and rush to the hardest hit town.

King Jing also went there in person. One day later, there were gratifying results. The duck army could really eat the locusts in an acre, and a small group of ducks could eat almost half a day.

In the past, the grasshoppers didn't live long. Even if they tried to burn off a wave, they would grow out quickly and cause fire. Now there is no need to worry about it. Ducks can eat for several days without any other risks, and the damage is very low. When the locusts in a town are almost exhausted, the duck army will lose less than 10%.

Duck is really a marvelous soldier. King Wang smiles and compares Li Yu's thumb, and continues to make Wang Xi go around to buy ducks.However, there were some accidents in the second acquisition. Wang Xi found that some merchants learned that they needed ducks, so they sold a lot of them from farmers at low prices in advance, and then sold them to Wang Xi at high prices.

Wang was so overjoyed that he reported to King Jing. Li Yu didn't expect such a problem. After all, it was reasonable to cultivate water and grain. There was no place for duck farming, and it was not until the time was right. King's residence paid for ducks to cure locusts for the common people. However, some people made such dishonest money without conscience. If locusts ate all the food, where would they go to eat?

Really, give three times the profit, dare not even life ah.

King Jing had a long time to worry about it. He glanced at Wang Xi and told him to write down who was there. He told them not to pay attention to them.

Wang Xi didn't buy a lot of ducks this time. He was worried that he would miss the business, but king Jing was ready to do it.

Can I buy chicken? King Jing looks at the plum fish.

"Chicken, too! But no duck can eat chicken... "

Li Yu quickly nods, your highness unexpectedly even this also knew!

As long as king Jing could eat locusts, he ordered Wang Xi to buy some chickens. On the other hand, the duck farm run by Li Yu rang was also set up. King Jing hired a few brave duck breeders to feed on locusts. The ducks grew up very quickly. Just before the duck army was dying, the ducks grew up, and the duck army gave birth to a lot of duck eggs.

Li Yu Xi said: "fortunately, your highness bought a lot for the first time. Now it can be continued!"

Wang Xi Tang is a steward in the palace of Wang Xi Tang. He has been buying chickens, ducks and hatching eggs these days. King Jing smiles confidently and takes over all the matters related to the latter. His highness King Jing knows well about hatching eggs.

As for those who had live ducks, they could not wait for the royal palace to buy them at a high price, and gradually they could not settle down.

Ducks are living things, no more than grain, just pile up in the warehouse. They have to be fed and looked after. If they are careless, they will starve to death, and many of them escape.

Seeing that the king's mansion has stopped buying ducks, what should we do with so many ducks? But who can afford to buy so many ducks in the West except King's house?

These people were afraid of losing money, so they went to Wang Xi to make an apology. Wang Xi was reminded by Jing Wang that he was upright and upright, and forced the price down and down, which would blow up the bones and dregs of these people. In the end, they were much lower than the market price before they accepted the ducks.

Both the duck army and the duck farm are in normal operation. Li Yu visited the duck farm run by Jingwang. He made a lot of comments with the eyes of modern people. He thought the ducklings in the duck farm were cute. He begged two yellow ducklings and raised them in his own yard.

When the fish cubs saw the fresh ducks they had never seen before, they were as excited as the fish father. The crystal bottle could hardly close them. Not only Dabao, but also Sibao, a little confused, were eager to try.

The plum fish is afraid that the duckling will eat the small fish, and resolutely does not allow the fish cubs to approach, only allow them to take a look from a distance.

Sibao likes beautiful ducklings very much. Once, while the plum fish was taking a nap, he secretly jumped out of the crystal bottle to find the duckling to play.

When it comes to napping, it is actually a habit formed by plum fish after giving birth to young fish. It is said that people sleep more and develop well when they are young. The plum fish thinks that the fish can also sleep more. When they arrive, they will take a nap with several young fish.

The fish cubs are lively and active. When the plum fish wakes up, they all drill in the water grass quilt with the plum fish. As soon as the plum fish is asleep, the fish cubs will come out of the quilt and play separately.

Four treasures and one fish, just like this jumped out of the crystal bottle. In case there is a thick blanket on the ground to prevent the king from getting hurt.

But Sibao was just a small fish with a big palm. He completely forgot to leave the crystal bottle and the fish tank, so he couldn't move any step. Soon after landing, he felt uncomfortable.

Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao all swim to the edge of the crystal bottle and anxiously watch the four treasures at the edge.

Brother in danger!

Dabao jumped out regardless of everything, followed by two treasures and three treasures. They all wanted to help four treasures.

As a result, there were only four treasures in the original place, and a young fish was fluttering. Later, all the four fish cubs were flapping their tails.

The plum fish just takes a nap. From time to time, he wakes up and looks at the baby fish. After a while, the fish jump out of the crystal bottle one after another. The plum fish is scared to death, so he quickly takes the fish cubs back.

Four treasures are scared, close to the plum fish.

Li Yu was angry and distressed. It was not easy to blame the confused cub. He fed Sibao some fish food and tried to divert his attention.

Who knows Si Bao is still clinging to him while eating fish.

Li Yu:

Liyu wants to know what's wrong with Sibao. He teases Sibao and says, "Daddy, duck!"

Li Yu guessed that Sibao wanted to see ducks, but he fell to the ground.

Why does Sibao like ducks so much?

Li Yu thought about it for a while, and with a bad smile, he took Sibao to see the ducks when they were growing up. Sibao saw with his own eyes that his mouth was longer than when he was a child, and his neck had become curved and long. He was very tall and fat. He thought about the cute hairy Duckling and cried.Li Yu bullied four treasures, and then went to bully Dabao.

Dabao failed to save his brother, but he and his two other brothers fell to the ground. Dabao realized that he had done something wrong. As soon as the plum fish came to him, he took the initiative to say to him, "Dad, I know I'm wrong."

In fact, he also loves to stroll around the plum fish: "Oh, where is Dabao wrong? Let's talk to Dad."

"Yes I'm too weak to bring my brother back

Dabao is a little aggrieved and a little embarrassed.

Plum fish:???

Son, wake up, your fault is not too small, OK!

Dabao did not make complaints about the Tucao of the fish dad. He said with great earnestness, "I want to make the biggest fish in my power, protect my brother and protect my father!"

Li Yu:

Li Yu seems to see the lofty sentiments behind Dabao. It is true that it is the young fish hatched from the same wave of fish eggs. The four treasures are not easy to say, but Dabao can clearly say a long list of wishes!

"Dabao is a good boy." The plum fish rubbed him gently with his fin, and then said, "but remember to do what you can."

Dabao:?

What does it mean to act according to one's ability!

Li Yu taught him: "only when Dabao grows up can he protect his father and younger brother."

Dabao nodded: "that Dabao should grow up quickly."

Li Yu:

Emma, although I think it's a little exaggerated, I don't know what it's like to be warmed by Dabao!

Thanks to the efforts of the duck army, the plague of locusts in the western border has been controlled. Although there are still repeated attacks in some areas, according to the current fighting capacity of the duck army, it is believed that the locusts will be completely eliminated in a short time.

However, if the locusts are killed this year, we can't easily relax our vigilance in the future. The locust disaster is difficult to cure, and it will mainly recur. However, now that there is a magic method for controlling locusts, it doesn't matter if it comes up again in the future. If the people in the western border have the conditions, they all begin to raise more ducks.

I heard that duck is a good thing. It can not only sell money, but also eat meat and kill locusts!

How to deal with the last group of ducks, who ate locusts and got fat, is also quite painful.

Looking at so many ducks, Li Yu's eyes brightened, and he remembered what he had sucked. He said to King Jing, "Your Highness, why don't we have roast duck?"

King Jing:.... "

King Jing is a man who can not change his face and heart even after eating cucumbers taken by plum fish. What's the point of eating a mere roast duck?

When King Jing nodded, Quan Jude in the West had its prototype.
