At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

Li Shimin was also startled, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at everything in front of him a little dull, he really didn't expect it to be really effective.

Although he believed Qin Shou's words about locusts, he didn't have much confidence in killing locusts. In his opinion, these measures were more to give the people the confidence to kill locusts.

Looking at it now, it turned out to be really effective. Although it was impossible to stop all of them, it was an indisputable fact that migrating locusts were stopped in piles.

People were surprised to find that these seemingly inconspicuous things stopped large numbers of locusts.Can't help getting excited

There was already a big fire on the side, and the locusts that were stopped were thrown into the fire like firewood, making a crackling sound

"Okay, great!"

"Are you still a god? I'm yuck!"

"Yes, it should be called a pest!"

"It's really enjoyable. It turns out that locusts can be killed like this!"

"Work harder, kill more locusts, and our food will be less wasted!"

"Isn't this thing as scary as I imagined..."

Seeing this, the people immediately relaxed

There were applause and cheers at the scene, one after another.

This......

All around, those high-ranking gentry people were stunned.

Those Confucian disciples were also stunned.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, like a fool.

This... actually really stopped the locusts?Can it really kill locusts?

Unseen, unheard of!

After a while, they finally returned to their senses.Those high-ranking members of the gentry looked at Li Shimin standing in the distance with a dazed look on their faces, and there was a trace of anxiety and fear in their hearts, which had never happened before.

Those Confucian students looked at the scene in front of them at this moment, trembling with anger, their faces pale,

"A sin!"

"How can you do this? The sage Confucius said that this is a god insect. If you hunt and kill them so much, you will definitely anger the heavens..."

"Throughout the ages, when locusts broke out, it was His Majesty who apologized to the gods on behalf of the people. Where is Gangchang now!"

"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"

Li Shimin, who was encouraged, blushed at this time, and he shouted to the people of Baiqisi, "Are you ready over there?"

"Ready!" Someone from Baiqisi responded!

"Let them all out!"

Everyone was dumbfounded

What the hell?

.....

Chapter 36: Chicken and Duck Army

"quack quack"

"quack"

I saw a group of old farmers driving an army of chickens, ducks and geese to the field

Not to mention the onlookers, even the soldiers and civilians who were pulling nets to catch and kill locusts were taken aback.

What the hell?

That's right!

How did you find so many chickens and ducks?

The faces of those onlookers were even more surprised, and many people shook their heads again and again.

Although I heard that chickens and ducks are omnivorous and will also eat locusts, but who would expect this thing to kill locusts?

Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling frowned, and they all looked at Changsun Wuji in unison.

Changsun Wuji shrugged, expressing that he didn't know.

But not long after, he found an opportunity and whispered in Li Shimin's ear, "Your Majesty, Qin Shou also suggested this idea?"

"That's right!" Li Shimin nodded.

Regarding this point, he also felt that it was unreliable at the time, so he specifically asked Qin Shou about it, but Qin Shou insisted that this method has miraculous effects, so he prepared this song.

Now, using nets to kill locusts has greatly boosted his confidence, and his eyes are full of anticipation, wanting to see how miraculous this so-called biological locust extermination method will be.

"Why do you feel that there are more ducks and less chickens?"

Changsun Wuji looked at the army of chickens and ducks and found that there were more ducks than chickens, so he couldn't help but wonder.

"Because Qin Shou said that ducks eat more locusts than chickens."

"..." Changsun Wuji was speechless.

The same is true!

A duck can eat hundreds of locusts a day, and ducks especially like to eat locust larvae. They can eat thousands of larvae in one meal. This is just an appetizer.

Ducks are also very edible. In the morning, before dawn, they start to eat breakfast. They can eat until after nine o’clock, and they don’t need to be managed. The ducks will start off in multiple columns. After eating and drinking, they will queue up and go back. .

As far as the common people are concerned, they don’t need food to feed them, they still eat meat, and there is also the righteousness of exterminating locusts, of course they are willing.

It's just that at this time, Datang didn't have such a large family of ducks as the later generations, so if we couldn't gather so many ducks, we had to let all the chickens and ducks go to war.

However, such a number is quite a lot. There are not a few farmers with hundreds of ducks around Chang'an, and there are some more than a hundred ducks.

At this time, the army of chickens and ducks has begun to have fun.

When the army of chickens and ducks rushed into the locusts, the entire scene of locust extermination seemed to be split.

In the eyes of everyone, there are tens of thousands of chickens and ducks on the grass, on the ridges... It's like a carpet attack, it's a sea of ​​ducks, and the locusts can't stand the size of this large army Range, multiple frontal assaults, plus outflanking.

people are dumbfounded

At this time Fang Xuanling also stayed in place, murmured: "However, hundreds of ducks will enter the rice fields, and the locusts will be wiped out in an instant."

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were not much better, their mouths were open and their jaws were about to drop.

Shocked!

Everyone was stunned!

People's expressions are frozen!

There was only one word in their minds.

It's really shocking!

The chicken and duck army conquered the entire scene of locust extermination at the beginning.

The expressions of everyone on the scene were so unbelievable, their eyes were numb, as if they had lost their ability to think.

This.......isn't it just an ordinary chicken or duck? Why are they so cruel when facing locusts?

Seeing the chickens and ducks swallowing the locusts in one gulp, many people even got goosebumps on their bodies, which is unbelievable.

"Oh my God, this is amazing!"

"It's too strong, it's like harvesting, it's not an enemy at all!"

"I'm convinced, I regret that I didn't bring the dozens of ducks from our family..."

"It's so awesome. Have you seen it? It's like plowing the field. It's very clean!"

"It's incredible!"

"..."

Many people couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Shimin couldn't help shouting out of excitement.

The fighting power of the chicken and duck army is really too strong, which stabilized Li Shimin's heart of killing locusts like a reassurance.

At the same time, deep in my heart, I felt a kind of admiration and emotion for Qin Shou.

For the common people, for the Great Tang, he must thank Qin Shou

The officials of the three provinces and six ministries and those Confucian scholars were also dumbfounded at this time, they stood there in a daze.

Their hearts are all attracted by the army of chickens and ducks

It is hard to believe that the method of exterminating locusts has such a miraculous effect, from the first culling with nets, to the current army of chickens and ducks.

They stood there blankly, looking at the ground that was quickly cleaned by chickens and ducks, completely forgetting that their mission was to advise His Majesty not to exterminate locusts.

This scene is so harmonious, yet so weird.

Everyone is immersed in it.

When the army of chickens and ducks gradually walked away to fight for the locusts, the audience was so quiet.

Quiet like a cemetery at midnight.

People seem to be intoxicated!

But after all they woke up, their faces were ashen.

They stared at His Majesty dumbfounded, their eyes completely different from before.

Horror, panic...

The words of Confucianism that I kept in my heart before can no longer be said at this time

Facing Li Shimin's gaze, they didn't even dare to look directly.

Ok?

And just before they could react, they discovered that there was another group of people behind them

If there are acquaintances who can recognize them, many of these people are from Princess Gaoyang's mansion.

This was naturally arranged by Qin Shou. Although the person didn't arrive, his father-in-law had to express it to some extent to kill the locusts.

I saw that the group of people who came started to light the fire on the spot, and then started to set up a cauldron...  

What are they doing?

Open fire to cook?

At this time, a person from Baiqisi came over, carrying a sack in his hand.

Later, they saw an astonishing scene. After the people from the Princess Mansion opened the sack, they cut off the legs and wings of the grasshopper and soaked it in concentrated salt water.

hiss!

Everyone's scalp is numb!Everyone was terrified!

Is this thing edible?

......

Chapter 37: The theory of gods and insects, collapsed

how about it?

Stunned?

shocked?

And this group of people who came later looked at their reactions with satisfaction, and couldn't help but applaud the young master, and it was exactly what the young master thought.

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Fang Xuanling also took a deep breath: "This...... Can this really be eaten?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, is there any problem?"
