Chapter 1135 The locust plague begins
When the people of Youzhou learned that the Tang State was saving farmland with great fanfare, they also began to inspect their own arable land.
There are also proposals to purchase pesticides from the City Shoufu, and the scope of the locust plague will be uncontrollable when it swept through.
Since the farmlands of Tang State were apart from locusts, they were also worried about their own fields, and all the worried people took action.
The pesticide workshop under the Medical College is still in production. The Chengshoufu has re-selected the power amplifier for making pesticides and has now been put into production. In order to provide pesticides to the people as quickly as possible, the production method in the workshop directly uses soaking method.
In order to rush to produce more insecticides and potions, we directly chose a pond for fish farming. The area was large and the warehouse was built on the basis of this pond, so the workshop was quickly built.
After processing, the drugs are placed directly in a huge pool and can be sold directly after soaking for several days. They are all produced in this way.
In addition, medical schools mix the proportioned insecticide raw materials together through grinding and drying, and these powdery materials can be bought by the people and sprayed them themselves.
No matter which method it is, the purpose is to take preventive measures.
In the workshop in Youzhou, the caravans were running with all their might, and adventurers chose to acquire plants such as pyrethra.
Li De attached great importance to the prevention of locusts. His main responsibility is to coordinate the overall situation and make the Chamber of Commerce prepare to acquire locusts.
It is really immeasurable what the situation in Tang State will become.
The envoy of the Tang Kingdom who visited Youzhou returned to Chang'an with his things and immediately met Li Yuan. Soon a large amount of insecticides were distributed.
Li Yuan sprayed Huangzhuang's farmland first, and soon all the officials who received the news came to ask for the recipe.
All the materials stored in the medicine shops in Tang Kingdom were sold, and the reserves were still insufficient and they could only buy them with Youzhou.
The messenger expected this, so when he was in Youzhou, he proposed to directly purchase a certain amount of materials.
It can ensure the use of most of the land in the Tang Dynasty and prevent problems before they happen.
Li Yuan has been worried about the locusts for a while, and sent people to implement the methods of locust control. All the people actively cooperated. After all, if they had no food for the whole year, they would still be very likely to become refugees.
This involves whether the particles are the same for the next few years.
"Your Majesty, the caravan has been in contact. It can really be used to capture locusts and turn them into money."
"The business of Samurai is relying on you. I hope there are not too many locusts."
Li Yuan’s hope cannot determine anything. How many locusts will depend entirely on the reproductive ability of the locusts.
Only when the locusts break out of their cocoon can they see the real situation.
The people of Tang were acting, and the people of Youzhou were acting too.
Locusts are flooding, and what is bad is coming. Suddenly, a large number of locusts appeared near Tangguo Farm. People were scared when they saw it.
But it's a different story to be terrifying things.
The people of the Tang Kingdom patrolled the fields every day. They had 100 fishing nets in their hands. When the locusts appeared, they immediately rushed to catch them.
As the net goes down, it is so dense that it is impossible to count how many it is. Anyway, they are sold by pounds, so they don’t care about it.
There is a difference in the price of living and dead. If you have time and careful enough, you can choose all living people and make more money.
Usually, the capture of the situation is ignored, which does not affect the acquisition but will affect the acquisition price.
The fields in Tang State were in a bad situation, and locusts appeared in several places at the same time. If they were ignored, the grain in the fields would be unrecovered.
The Youzhou City Guardian has been busy these days because the acquisition of locusts requires coordination in all aspects.
The people of Tang State were very efficient. They accumulated a large number of locusts so quickly. The car fleet in Youzhou went to transport them directly and transported them back within a few days.
Medical doctors in medical schools have begun to develop locusts. Locusts are pests but their economic value is great.
After the locust disaster occurred, dozens of fried locust stalls appeared in the snack stalls in Youzhou. The business started quite good.
Medical doctors in medical schools directly apply to purchase a large number of locusts to make medicines.
This is a very high-quality pharmaceutical material.
No one pays attention to what the medical school does, but instead the fact that the frying locusts is becoming increasingly affected.
The people are all curious. When they see someone trying it, they also try it, and the result is that it tastes so crispy and crispy.
After that, this snack became a frying delicacy that the people sought after. The barbecue method of meat skewers has not yet been truly popular, but fried locusts have become a pioneer in barbecue food.
The key to curing diseases is that it is cheap. The way to combine it with the new fried method is simply delicious. Many merchants have also started to buy locusts, and the prices have increased a little.
This made the people of Tang even more excited. In their eyes, locusts are no longer pests but have become their economic support.
The power of the people begins to take action when locusts show signs.
Li Yuan was not feeling uncomfortable now. Seeing the truckload of locusts all looked like money at this time, it was like pulling copper coins.
The acquisition location established by Youzhou City Shoufu has been surrounded by the people.
For this reason, Li Yuan directly ordered the acquisition of stalls to keep alert and maintain order, but the acquisition method was too troublesome and could not count too much money in a day.
It was really too many people that affected the acquisition. Li Yuan asked the people to directly sell the locusts they collected together with the number of purchased by multiple people, and then they could allocate them to each person after they were divided.
Li De was checking the drying equipment manufactured by the Blacksmith Workshop. The locusts need to be further processed before they are crushed into powder, and the process of drying after cleaning is indispensable.
The drying method requires a suitable temperature but cannot harm the material itself. The drying equipment manufactured is specially made and needs to be met to meet the needs of a large amount of drying and maintain temperature control.
After drying, it also needs to be crushed into powder to be used as medicine or as food.
The collected locusts were taken directly to the workshop for treatment, and all of them were taken for snacks.
The price is relatively expensive, but the business is extremely popular.
The powder made by Li De asked the craftsmen to be finely processed and sold as nutritional products. No one who bought a few kilograms was called supplementary nutrition.
With the huge sales, the people of Tang State had long since emerged from the shadow of locust plague. They calculated the bill and earned more money by catching locusts and selling sales than their land.
The locusts in the fields were significantly reduced in a few days. It is hard to say whether they can still find them in less than a week.
