After the Lantern Festival in the second year of Zhenguan, the first edict issued by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spread overnight through the dedicated communication network to Guannai Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road and other places: in early February, the imperial court would conduct a nationwide pesticide spraying.

During this period, people should pay attention to protection. The spraying time and details in various places are also explained one by one. Local governments must inform every household, and any omissions will be severely punished!

Although the Tang Dynasty was in dire straits and had nothing to do, its only advantage was the enforcement of orders and prohibitions. As soon as the edict was issued, the four officials immediately became busy. Although the people did not know why, they firmly believed that what the emperor, who was kind and loving to the people, said was right.

Whatever you do is for their own good! So even if you don’t understand, just obey and you’ll be fine!

The only twenty Big White Geese at the Black Pine Forest Base were all converted into pesticide sprayers, which operated 24 hours a day, and finally completed the spraying task before spring plowing. Inevitably, a few fools would get their heads wet during this period.

His face was covered with tears. Fortunately, the locust remover prepared by Literary Art did little harm to the human body. Otherwise, a beautiful thing would inevitably end up with a few innocent dead souls.

Pesticides are only the first move, the second move is to expand the number of chickens and ducks. Thanks to the purchase of "Zhi Jiji" regardless of cost, the enthusiasm for raising chickens and ducks across the country has never been higher. The number of chickens and ducks has increased exponentially, and the effect is far beyond

Wenyi's prediction made Wenyi Haosheng proud for a few days. Looking at Wenyi's proud smile, the little loli beside him asked curiously: "Master, Qian Jiji bought chickens and ducks at a high price, but the product price has not been adjusted. Disciple has calculated this period

Time Chew Jiji has lost all of last year’s profits, which does not include employees’ salaries. Why are you still so happy, Master?”

Wenyi touched her little tweet and explained: "Xiao Wu, you can't just take everything at face value. From a commercial point of view, eating Jiji is a loss, but from another perspective, it's different. I only started eating Jiji last year.

The new industry established has spread all over Guanzhong, Henan, Hedong, and Hebei within half a year. It cost me 2 million taels of silver in the early stage, and the profit was less than 300,000. This year I invested another 1 million taels,

Do you know why?"

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and shook her little head: "I don't know, I ask the master to clarify my doubts."

Wenyi pointed to a jar of soil in the laboratory: "Go and see what's so special about this soil."

Wu Zetian ran over and circled the jar twice and said carefully: "There seem to be a lot of white particles in the soil. They look like eggs of something."

Wenyi nodded and said: "Yes, I dug this randomly from near Chang'an. These white particles are locusts. Does Xiao Wu know what locusts are?"

Wu Zetian: "Well, senior brother told his disciples that locusts are pests that eat crops! They are the most annoying!"

"Yes, but do you know what the natural enemies of locusts are?"

Wu Zetian's little head shook, and after thinking hard for a long time, she suddenly realized: "The natural enemies of locusts are chickens and ducks?"

Wenyi praised: "Is this what Shitou told you?"

Wu Zetian said proudly: "No, the master's decision to ask me to look at the locust eggs at this time is definitely not unreasonable. It must be related to the thing I asked about eating Jiji. If you think about it, you will understand. The master must be trying to mobilize the people to raise chickens by eating Jiji.

The passion for raising ducks prevents locusts from destroying crops!”

Literary Art was even more happy. A generation of empresses were extraordinary. She was so smart at a young age, and she was even better when she grew up! He pulled Wu Zetian to the workbench, pointed at Jiji's branch distribution map and said: "Xiao Wu, look, Gyeonggi

There are 86 states and 205 counties in the surrounding four roads, with a total of more than 160 branches, basically covering all areas of the four roads. Through the continuous efforts of Qian Jiji, now every household in the four roads raises chickens, with an average of 7 chickens per household.

, 4 ducks, and each household has about 40 acres of farmland. A chicken can eat 60 locusts a day. Coupled with the restraint of natural enemies, a chicken can protect two acres of land from locusts. This is already a good time.

It’s the limit of what can be done.”

Wu Zetian suddenly realized: "No wonder the master still sprays pesticides at all costs. Does he want to eliminate the locusts before they grow up?"

"Yes, look at the number of insect eggs in the soil. If we don't take action as soon as possible, then Datang will encounter an unprecedented locust plague!"

Wu Zetian looked confident: "With the master here, everything will be fine! The master is the most powerful!"

Wenyi smiled and scratched her little nose: "The little girl has learned how to flatter you, did you learn it from that guy Wen Yiyi? I told you to stay away from him, be careful not to be led astray by him."

Wu Zetian hugged Wenyi's arms and said coquettishly: "No way, Senior Brother Yiyi is very good. He often brings snacks to his disciples, unlike Third Senior Brother, who often steals my snacks! Third Senior Brother is so bad!"

Wenyi looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's lunch time, let's go and find Xiaotai with our teacher. He dares to steal the snacks of my junior sister. I must let him treat us to a good meal today!"

Li Tai, who was designing the aircraft carrier, suddenly shivered and had an unknown premonition. He thought about it but couldn't figure out why. When he shook his head and continued to study the aircraft carrier, two figures, one large and one small, appeared with devilish smiles.

Outside the laboratory door...

While the mysterious country in the East is preparing for the locust plague, it is precisely when the team of time-travelers in the West is gradually emerging. Jones and Anna in the Kingdom of Colt are quietly accumulating strength, using advanced iron smelting technology to give their men

Hundreds of warriors improved their equipment, abandoning battle axes, broadswords, and giant swords, and replacing them all with the standard equipment of short swords, spears, and bucklers. When launching an attack, they first used spears to pierce the enemy's defense line, and then used short swords and bucklers.

Close hand-to-hand combat. Although the tactics are simple, they still beat the crap out of those chaotic and miscellaneous troops. After several wars to wipe out the surrounding small forces, Jones's reputation as the "God of War" gradually rose. King Singla was worried, so he

An operation to capture young men unexpectedly led to him capturing a famous general. In just over two months, Jones has secured his position as the 12th Baron and has been recognized by everyone in the kingdom. He is also very satisfied. But Mr. Singla

It felt like this newly minted baron always had a rebellious streak in his heart. Although he was respectful to him on the surface, he couldn't hide the trace of disdain in his eyes.

Walking to a map hanging on the side, Zingla looked at the Colt Kingdom with an extra town and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, a king's edict came out of the palace. The city of Singla instantly boiled, "You heard it, His Majesty the King appointed Baron Doyle as the Northern Campaign Marshal, and formed a 500-man Northern Campaign Army to march towards the Kingdom of Northumbria.

Revenge!" A strong man carrying a double-edged battle ax shouted to a strong man beside him who had a double-edged broad sword hanging on his waist.

The strong man touched his chin and nodded but did not reply. The strong man put his arm around his shoulders and smiled: "Duke, tell me something, aren't we here just to make a name for ourselves in the Colt Kingdom? This is a good idea.

What an opportunity!”

Duke slapped his dirty big hand away and said: "Mars, you bastard wiped your hands on my clothes again! I don't think this is an opportunity, I want to go to you! I am here to make a name for myself.

Not here to die!"

Mars smiled and took back his palm and asked: "I heard that Baron Doyle is victorious in every battle. If you follow him, you will only live a better life. How can you die?"

The two of them walked into a tavern while talking. Mars took a bottle of wine from the bar, took out the cork and took a sip from the bottle. He burped happily and handed it to Duke. Duke didn't mind and was satisfied with the exchange of wine.

He took a sip all over the floor, which made Mars feel very distressed: "Brother, drink slowly, you don't have much wine!"

Duke looked at the bottle and said, "This wine tastes good. Go get another bottle."

Mars grabbed the bottle and whispered: "This bottle of wine costs half a silver coin! Do you have money?"

Duke touched the already shriveled money bag expectantly and sighed: "It must be a shady store to sell a bottle of wine at such an expensive price!"

Mars: "Let's not talk about it for a moment. How come you are going to die by following Baron Doyle before you say anything?"

Duke talked again and said: "The Kingdom of Colt was originally only the size of a small town. Recently, it gained a lot of power after acquiring the town of Webb. When the kingdom's power doubled, it should first stabilize its internal affairs, but the king asked Doyle to do so at this time.

Wouldn't it be foolish for the Baron to seek revenge?"

Mars retorted: "It's just two small towns. There is no need to stabilize the internal affairs. Now the morale is strong and it is time to send troops to overthrow the Kingdom of Northumbria in one fell swoop! Then you will be Earl Joshua, and I will be Marshal Hood!"

"

Duke looked at him with pity: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Kingdom of Northumbria has?"
