After everyone in the village was busy, Su Chen did not take any time off and continued to exchange some pesticides specifically for desert locusts from the system.
Except for leaving a few barrels for Sujiazhuang in case of an accident, the rest were sent to Chang'an City.
This time, Su Chen's preparation was not inadequate.
Not to mention the three northern continents, even if the locust plague spreads to several surrounding states and counties, it will be enough to last for a while.
As for the actual effect of these pesticides, even Su Chen couldn't guarantee it. After all, this was his first time encountering such a thing.
"Perhaps, pesticides can be sprayed through hot air balloons. In this case, the spraying efficiency will be much higher!"
Su Chen had a sudden idea and thought this was a very good idea.
However, he soon became scrupulous.
"This is more efficient, but it cannot guarantee the impact on the land."
"If the concentration is low, the lethality may be weakened."
"But if the concentration is high, it can easily damage the fertility of the land."
Su Chen was in a dilemma.
If the land cannot be cultivated in order to kill the locusts, then in Su Chen's opinion, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Forget it, let's wait until the time comes!"
Su Chen shook his head, seeing that he was so confused. After arranging everything, he got on the carriage and went to find His Majesty Li Er.
Now, with insecticides and pesticides around, the pressure on Su Chen has become much less stressful.
Now that he has discovered traces of the desert locust release in Sujiazhuang, he needs to be very energetic.
Maybe, in some areas of Guanzhong, these desert locusts are secretly breeding.
If he didn't get rid of them in time, he would have a headache for a long time.
In the carriage, Su Chen was resting with his eyes closed.
After reviewing what His Majesty Li Er has done over the past year, Su Chen couldn't help but secretly feel a little lucky.
Fortunately, he is an infrastructure fanatic. Throughout last year, he forced His Majesty Li Er to build cement roads and vigorously strengthened the main pipelines leading to the border several times.
Otherwise, the news of the locust plague in the north would not have been sent to Chang'an City so quickly.
Now, as long as they respond correctly to the locust plague, it shouldn't be difficult to survive this disaster.
Half an hour later, Su Chen's carriage entered Tai Chi Palace unimpeded.
Royal study room.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was discussing with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers how to deal with the locust plague in the north.
"Your Majesty, now that we have Lord Protector's medicine, we should most likely be able to eliminate those locusts!"
Changsun Wuji said excitedly.
"Um."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and continued: "Now, all the medicines have been prepared and will be sent to the three northern continents soon."
"I hope that this time, our country, the Tang Dynasty, can still survive these disasters safely."
While several people were talking, Su Chen walked in directly from the door.
"Your Majesty, how is everything now?
Did you see the envelope I gave you?"
Su Chen asked straight to the point.
"Don't worry, I have already ordered people to organize manpower. I believe that all the locusts in the pass will be wiped out soon!"
His Majesty Li Er said confidently.
"That's good."
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Your Majesty, what do you think is going on with this locust plague?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's face gradually became serious, with a trace of anger, and said: "This time the locust plague appeared without any sign, and even the Guanzhong area has locusts that are not found in the mainland. So the whole story of the matter is mine.
I guessed something..."
As soon as His Majesty Li Er said this, everyone else in the room was shocked.
Could it be said that this locust plague was caused by man-made things?
!
"Yes, I have already investigated. The locusts that appeared in the Guanzhong area this time are a species that lives in the far west. It is absolutely impossible for them to appear in the Tang Dynasty!"
"If my guess is correct, maybe even the locusts in the northern locust plague are of this type!"
After hearing Su Chen's words, the ministers present were able to confirm one thing.
This locust plague is indeed caused by manpower!
Su Chen's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know who did it for the time being, once I find out, it won't be as simple as a death penalty!"
"If this locust plague cannot be controlled, it will be a devastating blow to the people of the entire Tang Dynasty!"
At this moment, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but shudder.
This was the first time they had seen Su Chen showing such terrifying murderous intent.
In their impression, Su Chen was a person who valued farming very much.
This time the locust plague directly touched his reverse scale!
They know Su Chen's temperament well, and I'm afraid those behind the scenes will feel better.
At the same time, they also felt a deep fear of the person who planned all this.
They can quietly arrange the locust plague in the north under their noses.
This method is terrifying!
However, fortunately, they still have Su Chen with them, so they can calm down.
They didn't believe it. No matter how evil that person was, could he still be comparable to a genius like Su Chen?
"Lord Protector, then who do you think arranged this locust plague?"
Du Ruhui asked.
"It's hard for me to talk about this."
Su Chen said very directly: "At present, just because this person has formulated this plan, I feel that he is not a simple person!"
"Moreover, he can actually act recklessly in the Tang Dynasty. This cannot be accomplished overnight!"
"Now that the situation is urgent, our top priority is to get rid of the locust plague now. Let's put this aside for now!"
"Well, everything about the locust plague will be left to your command!"
His Majesty Li Er said.
Su Chen nodded and said: "The locusts that appeared this time cannot be compared with the original locusts in the Tang Dynasty. We must keep our spirits up!"
"This kind of locust has extremely strong reproductive capacity. If you are not careful, Guanzhong may be the next north!"
"Starting from today, not only Guanzhong must remove and capture locusts, but the entire Tang Dynasty must take action!"
There is nothing wrong with what Su Chen said. The harm of species invasion is far more terrifying than what he said!
If this matter is not handled properly, there will be countless hidden dangers left!
After listening to Su Chen's words, the people in the Royal Study felt heavy again.
Now, even His Majesty Li Er no longer knows how to take the next step and can only follow Su Chen's arrangements.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er understands the seriousness of this matter very well.
