Xiao Fu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took the order issued by the Secretariat just now, and was a little confused.

This imperial edict ordered officials in Guanzhong, Shandong and other places to immediately start preventing locust plagues and destroying locust larvae.

To prevent locust plagues, Dazhou naturally followed the methods of his predecessors, relying on manpower to extinguish, burn fire, and dig pits to bury them. To be honest, these three methods are not very efficient, but if they are implemented in a timely manner, the scale of locust plagues can be controlled and not starved to death.

But this time it is different. In the imperial edict, there is a new method of order from the emperor.

In addition to the above three old methods of human force swing, the emperor added several more.

First: loosen the soil. In the jurisdictions of various places, in addition to manpower to capture locust larvae, whenever you see no plants covered and the land is exposed and dry, you must dig the soil. Where there is not sowing in the ridges, you must also dig the soil.

Second: drive chickens and ducks into the fields. Most people in various places raise chickens and ducks at home. Let them drive chickens and ducks into the fields. The chickens and ducks will eat locusts, which is a powerful tool to eliminate locusts.

Third: The land with a low terrain and no water or grass must be taken care of. In addition to loosening the soil, it is best to divert water into a lake and a fish pond.

The above three points are supplemented by the emperor.

Of course, these are the three points that were summarized in the end, and the emperor's original manuscript was written a lot, in addition to the detailed implementation steps of these methods.

The emperor even explained why he did this. In his manuscript, the emperor said that the locusts had extreme drought and locusts because locusts lay eggs in drought places, and their larvae could only grow in such an environment. The more drought, the more serious the locust plague is. However, in places with abundant waterways in the south, there are few locust plagues. This is the reason.

The reason why chickens and ducks are driven into the fields is that chickens and ducks like to eat locusts. Of course, they also like to eat crops, but if there are locusts, they will still eat locusts first. Besides, the little crops they eat are far less than those of locust plague.

Isn’t it beautiful if the chickens and ducks are fattened and they can still stew some soup?

The terrain is low, without water or grass, and it is the favorite egg-laying place for locusts. It is very good to simmer into a pond, and it can be used for aquaculture once and for all, and it can also be used for aquaculture.

Xiao Fu also knows how to do aquaculture, but this is the first time I have heard of it and I have never tried it.

Xiao Fu thought about it and wrote a memorial, mainly to advise Your Majesty that he did not know how these methods were used. Moreover, water conservancy matters should not be moved rashly, rivers and rivers should not be changed artificially, etc.

The memorial was very fast, and after it was written, it was sent to the palace. Not long after, Xiao Fu was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace.

Xiao Fu didn't expect that the emperor would finish reading the memorial so soon, but calling him into the palace made him a little nervous. However, when he thought that the emperor had not even made things difficult for Li Guangsheng before, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Such a benevolent and righteous emperor cannot punish me just because of a few words of advice. If the emperor is not a benevolent and righteous emperor, he cannot write the rebuttal memorial without hesitation.

Of course, Wu Qiong called Xiao Fulai not to scold him, but to explain in detail the methods he added, especially fish pond breeding.

He did not expect that there had been no artificial fish pond breeding in the Great Zhou Dynasty. But thinking about it, the artificial fish pond was only found in the Song Dynasty. The Song people would do it. Many things invented by ancient reforms appeared at that time.

For example, the method of castrating livestock, the method of tillage of crops with two or three ripening a year, as well as the method of intensive cultivation such as intercropping of rice and vegetable, rice and wheat rotation, all appeared at that time.

It can be said that the Song Dynasty greatly improved the Chinese nation's science and technology in farming. Although Wu Qiong knew about these things, he did not know them very much. He still had to go back and Baidu to give guidance to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, it is mainly to guide Wu Zhi.

As for setting up a fish pond, Xiao Fu obviously misunderstood himself and thought he wanted to irrigate rivers. Whose fish pond is connected to a river? It is not okay to have fishing nets to stop it, because it is done with seafood farming? There are no fishing nets to stop it in the Dazhou, so why don’t you run away?

Artificial fish ponds are all made of artificial watering!

As for other methods, Wu Qiong also explained them carefully.

Xiao Fuming knew it, so he started to make arrangements. According to the emperor's words, the faster the better.

Spring and summer are the best seasons to prevent locust plagues. Spring is wasted, so you must seize the opportunity this summer, otherwise autumn will suffer.

However, neither the government office nor Wu Qiong hopes to prevent locust plagues now and ensure that the locust plagues do not break out. It can be expected that there will definitely be locust plagues this year, which is just the size of the scale. The government office has begun to formulate disaster relief policies and strategies.

Wu Qiong could only pray secretly, hoping that the weather would be good and the locust plague should not be too serious. He would go back tomorrow and then Baidu would be available to formulate a normalized guide to preventing locust plagues in spring and summer. He could only do so much.

As for the invention of pesticides for the locust-killing killing weapon? Wu Qiong did not study chemistry, and the productivity is too low now, and it is too difficult to produce pesticides on a large scale, so let's forget it.

Then, the officials from the government offices at the edge were sent one after another, and most of the officials gave their words to prevent locust plagues.

It’s okay if you have nothing to do, but once you have something to do, the memorial will be sent over like snowflakes.

Wu Qiong was soon submerged in countless government affairs...

Capital, Imperial Physicians Department.

The imperial physician made his scalp feel a little numb.

The main reason is that today the emperor ran to the Imperial Medical Office in the middle of the night. It was really not dawn at that time. Poor that the Imperial Medical Order, which he never had to attend the morning court, was actually shouted up early.

I thought the emperor was seeing a doctor, but I didn't expect that the emperor was discussing the prescription or the locust prescription.

This is the first time that the Imperial Physician Ling has learned that locusts can be used as a prescription for decades! Not only him, but also other Imperial Physicians, all of whom were stunned.

It's okay to say when this locust is blue, but when the color becomes darker, it's poisonous! Some imperial doctors who have been to the countryside know these things.

They also mentioned it to the emperor in a very tactful way, but the emperor said at that time:

"Putting aside the dose and talking about toxicity, it's all a hooligan."

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this. What does hooligan mean?

Later, when the emperor explained, everyone understood, oh! He was so raspy!

This is not the point. It is better to promote the prescription. Anyway, as long as the dosage is controlled and only treat cough and frostbite, it will not be a death.

As a result, the emperor later said it bluntly:

"By the way, I will give you these prescriptions for coughing, frostbite, etc. The next day, but there is another prescription. I will give it to you after I have finished writing it. But I will say it first. This is not my prescription, it was seen in ancient books."

The Imperial Physician Order did not wait for too long in the Imperial Physician Office, and the prescription written by the emperor himself was delivered. As for whether it was the emperor or the prescription of ancient books, it was not important. The emperor personally praised it, so everyone must spare no effort to promote it.

But when I saw the prescriptions sent, the imperial doctor was so stupid.

"Take nine locusts, remove the head and tail, dry them and grind them into powder, sprinkle them on the food during meals, and eat them together. At the same time, squat three groups every day, each group thirty times, frog jumps three groups, each group thirty times, each group thirty times, men control their buttocks and interrupt their urine every time they go to the toilet. They can simulate and practice if they have nothing to do on weekdays. After twenty days, they will take effect immediately - Locust powder aphrodisiac."

There is a row of small characters at the back:

[Don't promote this aphrodisiac in my name, and promote it in my name. You are my dear. The publicity method will be written later. Remember!]

The imperial doctor was so stupid. He grabbed an imperial doctor next to him and asked:

"What, what is a squat? What is a leap? What is a hip muscle?"

The imperial physician was also stupid and asked carefully:

"Sir, what are you doing?"

The imperial physician turned his face red, and he said for a long time:
Chapter completed!
