Chapter 277

Having obtained the method to eliminate the locust plague and solved the great trouble, Li Shimin returned to the palace with great joy.

Su Lingnong also left immediately. He had left the Si Nong temple for too long and had a lot of government affairs to deal with. At the same time, he also had to spread the method of killing locusts to all roads in the world. Summer and autumn were the peak of locust outbreak. Even if there was no worry in Guanzhong area, other places could not help it.

After they left, Merton helplessly looked at a large bag of diamonds in his hand and couldn't help sighing.

These are the fine works selected by Li Shimin from the palace treasure house. They are all the fine works of tribute from some vassal states, all of which are of high value.

"So it is!" Murton sighed.

Even a wise Saint like Li Shimin has a huge harem to appease, and those yingyanyan can't escape the charm of diamonds.

Merton handed a bag of diamonds to Moda and said, "give this batch of gemstones to master Zhang and tell him to divide half of the manpower to catch up with this batch!"

Modaton said, "young master, but our previous diamond orders are full!"

"Then add another hand," Merton said without hesitation.

Fortunately, Merton does not receive many orders, and the time is very ample. Even if the delivery is late, these people know that it is because they are late to catch up with the work for the palace. I'm afraid they can't wait to put their orders in the end, which is not enough to express their loyalty.

"Yes!" said Mo da.

With the method of grazing chickens and ducks to kill locusts spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, the whole government paid close attention to the locust disaster in the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the Guanzhong area with chickens, ducks and geese did not have locust disasters. On the contrary, there were small locust disasters in Luoyang and other places not far away.

Outside Luoyang.

Luoyang made Zhou Hongde look sad at the locusts flying outside. Zhou Hongde had an extremely difficult year.

Luoyang city is as famous as Chang'an city. Except that it is not the capital city, Luoyang city is not inferior to Chang'an City in any aspect, and Luoyang order is equal to Chang'an order in terms of level.

Even in the assessment of the bureaucrats of previous dynasties, Zhou Hongde and Su Luosheng were compared. However, with the strong support of Mojia village, Chang'an made Su Luosheng live a prosperous life.

First, the city's early warning system, then the pilot of the tax sharing system, and then the city's public transport system. One by one, Su Luosheng became a popular man in front of the emperor. It can be imagined that Su Luosheng must be ahead of him in the assessment of the Ministry of officials this year.

However, at this time, a small-scale plague of locusts occurred in Luoyang. Although it has not yet reached the extent of overwhelming, it is certain that if it is not controlled, the production of Luoyang will be reduced.

"My Lord! All the chickens and ducks around Luoyang City have been found. I'll wait for your orders." martial master came to report.

"I hope the Mohist method of killing locusts is useful?" Luoyang Ling took a deep breath, and there was only one method in front of him.

Fortunately, Luoyang is a huge market with a great demand for chickens, ducks and geese. In the first half of the year, Mojia village sent chicken, duck and goose cubs to Luoyang. There are not a few ducks on the Yellow River beach next to Luoyang, so that Luoyang order can raise enough chickens, ducks and geese in a short time.

At the command of Luoyang, a large number of chickens and ducks were quickly mobilized from villages near Luoyang, and a large number of chickens and ducks were rushed to the fields.

Zhou Hongde anxiously waited for news on the official road, praying secretly in his heart.

"Congratulations, sir. The method of killing locusts is really effective!" the master shouted from the field in surprise.

"Seriously?" Luoyang ordered Zhou Hongde to rise suddenly and hurried to the field to check it himself,

I saw that the locusts were completely destroyed where chickens, ducks and geese passed in the field. Even if there were a little fish left behind, it could not form a plague of locusts and cause much harm.

"Hahaha, God helps me too!" Luoyang surprised Zhou Hongde. If you can put out the locust plague in time, it must be a credit. If a great disaster becomes a credit, how can Zhou Hongde not be ecstatic.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hongde immediately couldn't help himself. He immediately ordered: "send orders to all counties to immediately organize chickens, ducks and geese to kill locusts. If there is any slack, we will punish them."

"Yes, sir!" the master replied and ordered to go down. Immediately, a group of Yamen soldiers rode fast horses to the counties to give orders.

If I had the ability to kill locusts, I wouldn't be so embarrassed even compared with Su Luosheng.

"Master, Mohist magazine wants to interview adults about killing locusts!" after the martial master ordered the order, he came to report.

"Mohism, ink magazine!" Luoyang made Zhou hongdeton's eyes brighten.

Ink magazine is the hottest new thing in Chang'an city. From the ministers of the court to the peddlers and soldiers, all read Ink magazine. Although the publication of Ink magazine in Luoyang has fallen behind for two or three days, its charm has not been reduced at all. Even Zhou Hongde is also a loyal reader of ink magazine.

If the credit for killing locusts could be published in ink journals, wouldn't it be a great reputation for him, even to heaven.

"Please come soon?" Zhou Hongde hurriedly said.

After a while, shiye led Xu Jie to come forward.

"See Lord Zhou, foreign affairs manager Xu Jie of Mojia village!" Xu Jie went up to salute.

The Mojia village is opening up the Luoyang market. It is the time to need the strong support of the Luoyang magistrate. It is just right that Xu Jie can take advantage of this to have a good relationship with the Luoyang magistrate. Naturally, Xu Jie will not miss this opportunity and personally play a guest role in the Mojia style collector.

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Xu is the right-hand man of Lord mo. when I see him today, he really deserves his reputation." Zhou Hongde said kindly.

"The praise of adults is too high. It all depends on the trust of the owner. Villains don't dare to take credit." Xu Jie said.

"Lord Mo is famous even in Luoyang. This locust killing method has saved hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang!" Zhou Hongde said.

"This is a meritorious command by an adult. Xu will truthfully let Mo magazine report." Xu Jieyi pointed out.

Zhou hongdeton knew when he was in trouble. He laughed and said, "I heard that the public carriage system of the Mohist school is beneficial to the country and the people. I also suffer from the hardships of traveling in Luoyang City. After this locust disaster, Luoyang City will also set up a public transportation system in Luoyang. I hope shopkeeper Xu can help me."

Zhou Hongde is not just paying tribute. The public transport system has been proved to be beneficial to the people. Luoyang is not afraid of backwardness, but if he turns a blind eye, I'm afraid it will be dereliction of duty.

Zhou Hongde also had the intention to set up a bus for a long time. He just took this opportunity to offer flowers to Buddha.

"I'll work for adults." Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief secretly. He was able to get the support of Luoyang order, and Mojia village also established a foothold in Luoyang City.

Facts have proved that the method of killing locusts by chickens, ducks and geese is indeed feasible. In less than ten days, the locust disaster in Luoyang has been controlled.

When the news came back to Chang'an City, it can be said that the whole court was a sensation. The experimental field in Mojia village is only an experiment, and the locust disaster in Luoyang is the real proof that the method of grazing ducks to kill locusts is feasible.

After overcoming the drought in succession, Datang overcame the locust disaster again. At the same time, with the help of God, a heavy rain covering the whole north of Datang completely eliminated the hidden danger of locust disaster in Datang.
