Chapter 667: The outbreak of the locust plague
After all, in the middle of June of West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.
Well, okay, in fact, the people in the world have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Because they encountered something very terrifying.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will be enough for their whole family to be displaced and their wife and children to be separated.
This matter is not even worse than the severe drought last year.
The people of the world all found locusts in the fields in horror.
In fact, there is nothing strange about finding locusts in the ground.
Locusts are very wide and can be said to be spread all over the world.
But the reason why these people were frightened was that there were too many locusts in the ground.
Although the locusts are not big now, the fields are densely packed, and the dense looks make people feel numb.
The growth rate of locusts is very fast, and I am afraid that these locusts will grow up in a short time.
If all these locusts grow up, they will eat up all the crops in the fields in a short time!
By then, their crops will be out of stock!
Seeing so many locusts, the fear in the hearts of the people can be imagined.
As a result, countless people squatted in the ground to catch locusts regardless of the hot weather.
However, locusts can jump and jump high.
Although it is not too difficult for them to catch locusts due to dense reasons, they can easily catch one.
However, their speed of catching locusts is extremely limited in one day. Compared with the huge army of locusts, it is simply negligible.
Such a situation makes the people unable to help but become desperate.
They had just passed by the severe drought in the last year and had just survived the severe drought in the last year. They finally escaped the disaster.
But why is God so cruel?
Why does God have to torture them again?
The overwhelming locusts caused all three countries to pay great attention to and they carried out locust-killing operations.
However, as long as locusts reproduce, it is too difficult to eliminate the locust plague.
The Shu Han and Cao Cao also went through many troubles and even dispatched troops, but they gained little.
Locusts grow day by day, and locusts in the fields become denser day by day.
Well, the number may not increase, but because the locusts become larger, it becomes more and more likely that the locusts will cover the sky and the sun.
The hearts of the people are becoming more and more desperate.
...
In the Great China Kingdom, when Lu Bu learned of the news of the locust plague, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
After floods, there will be plagues; after severe droughts, there will be locust plagues.
Lu Bu guessed correctly, and indeed a locust plague occurred.
Locust plagues, plagues, plagues, etc. have always been the enemy of mankind.
And for a long time, the people seemed helpless against the locust plague.
After all, when the locust plague is around, there are too many locusts, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun.
Wherever the locust swarm passes, it is really terrible that there is no good response.
But Lu Bu is different. The reason why Lu Bu ordered the whole country of China to raise ducks before was to deal with locust plague.
The ancient Chinese people also suffered from locust plagues.
Then, in the battle against the locust plague step by step, we gradually found a way to deal with the locust plague.
One of the methods is to find the locusts in advance before they are hatched, expose them to the sun, and let them all dry.
This method is the best way, but the best time to use it was last fall.
At that time, Lu Bu was still in Yunnan.
Of course, this is not impossible to use this method this year.
However, Lu Bu thought this method was too stupid, so in the end, Lu Bu took the method of raising ducks to solve the locusts.
The way to raise ducks is also one of the best ways to fight locusts.
Ducks are omnivorous animals, with amazing food and devour locusts very quickly.
Although ducks look clumsy, they are actually very fast when they prey on locusts.
Using ducks to deal with locust plague has long been a proven good way, and Lu Bu trusts this method very much.
...
After the people of Dahua Kingdom found that the farmland was full of locusts, they couldn't help but panic.
Their reaction was exactly the same as the reactions of the Shu Han and the people under Cao Cao's rule. They were busy going to the world to destroy locusts.
But there are too many locusts and they grow rapidly, looking one day.
It is simply that the more you destroy, the more you destroy the Tao, and the more you destroy, it makes people desperate.
At this time, Emperor Dahua issued an order to drive all the ducks raised to the ground and let the ducks catch locusts.
When this order was issued, the first reaction between the officials and the people of China was unbelievable.
What?
The emperor actually wants to use ducks to eliminate locusts?
What a joke?
How is this possible?
Can ducks eliminate locust plague?
This is unprecedented, how is this possible!
But since the emperor said so confidently, can it really work?
At this time, both officials and the people finally thought of a question.
That is, in the beginning of spring, the emperor ordered the entire Dahua to raise ducks.
Now when the locust plague occurs, an order for the ducks to destroy the prince is issued.
Could it be that the emperor had long ago that a locust plague would break out this year?
Is the duck the emperor’s secret weapon to deal with the locust plague?
Can ducks really deal with locust plague?
Is it OK? Try it!
...
With a nervous mood, the people drove the ducks into the fields one after another.
Since every family raises ducks, there is no need to fight for them and chase them into their own fields.
Soon, the duck was chased into the ground.
Next, a scene that shocked them appeared.
When the ducks are forced to be driven into the field, they are resistant inside, and they use rattle to express their inner dissatisfaction.
However, when they saw countless locusts in the field, they were immediately excited.
They couldn't help but flap their wings and slammed towards the locusts.
The duck who usually looks stupid is very fast to catch locusts.
Well, it’s mainly because locusts are very dense and everyone is jumping, but some are always jumping slowly or are dragged down.
The duck's mouth was simply a broken line, and he shook his head and tail excitedly - Ugh, this seems not to describe a duck...
Anyway, all the ducks were excited, the food here was amazing, they simply loved it!
Soon, they cleared a small area and rushed to the next area.
The people following the duck couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
It turns out that using ducks to kill locusts is really good!
This method is really great!
