This is a wonderful sight that is pleasing to the eye.

I was stunned to see the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who had spent the entire night cultivating immortality.

My tired spirit seemed to have been washed away, and I felt refreshed.

My eyes were red, swollen and sore from staring at the bright ball of light from the thunderstorm car, and my eyes that couldn't help but sting and shed tears in the rising sunlight also became cool!

I couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the faint floral fragrance overflowed from the sea of ​​alfalfa flowers.

Li Shimin didn't know what to say. Emperor Wuji's methods always amazed him.

But what puzzled him was that since it could produce a lot of "weeds" that had no idea what they were used for, why not directly produce various food crops?

Bai Yuqi smiled and explained that it was not impossible to directly produce food crops.

But when there is a possibility of a second-generation locust wave breaking out at any time, there is no point in growing food.

Food crops that require more precise care are destined to be unable to produce high yields due to the raging locust tide, and may even be harvested.

However, after spreading the seeds to promote growth, the alfalfa does not need too much care.

This perennial plant will continue to grow under the influence of [Plant Growth] to ensure that the land does not become barren due to the raging locust tide.

The large amount of forage produced at the same time can also be used to feed the large number of livestock that Yu plundered from the Turkic grasslands. The most important thing is

Bai Yuqi finished speaking, and turned around and nodded to the Sinong disciple at the [Shennongmen] next to him. He quickly took out a communication board and conveyed some message to someone.

Behind the mighty motorcade, a long row of modified bamboo cards suddenly became busy.

Some [Shennongmen] disciples wearing veils opened the entrances and exits at the top and bottom of the carriage.

Then a swirling black cloud burst out from the exit on the roof of the car with a buzzing sound. After hovering for a while above the modified bamboo card, it suddenly exploded and rushed towards the sea of ​​alfalfa flowers.

Beehive car!

This is another production unit prepared by Bai Yuqi for this operation!

As early as when various fruit trees were transplanted and planted on a large scale in Kuyu City, Bai Yuqi had already collected wild bees for domestication and cultivation to pollinate the fruit trees.

The bee colony contained in this hive truck exceeds tens of millions, which is enough to follow the sea of ​​alfalfa flowers that are spreading under [vegetation growth].

The first wave of troops in the locust eradication operation is the "Thunderstorm Chariot", which is responsible for clearing out large-scale locust swarms at night.

The second wave of troops is naturally the "Bird Air Force" and the "Poultry Army", responsible for clearing out locust nymphs that cannot fly on the ground, as well as unhatched locust eggs hidden in the soil.

The third wave of troops is the environmental restoration team of [Shennongmen]. They will follow the first two troops and sprinkle grass seeds in areas where there is no longer a large influx of locusts to promote the growth of alfalfa to restore the environment.

The fourth wave of troops is this army of bees. They will take advantage of the second-generation locust tide to steal a wave of honey sources and produce a large amount of honey to create value for this operation and recover losses.

And this is not all of Bai Yuqi's arrangements, but only part of the "multi-level locust eradication production plan" he planned. To eliminate locusts, we must not forget to engage in production!

Because the growth process of the alfalfa sea is accelerated.

Alfalfa, which could originally be harvested four times a year, has been greatly enhanced in its regeneration ability and can be harvested every six slopes.

So when the sea of ​​alfalfa flowers enters its peak flowering period, a large group of "big monsters" emitting black smoke appear in line.

Bare Bare roared and rushed into the sea of ​​alfalfa flowers, harvesting all the lush alfalfa on the ground, leaving only short bare stems.

Steam version of combine harvester!

Although both harvesting efficiency and functions are far inferior to those mechanical monsters of later generations.

But placed in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, it was enough for the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to experience the scene of "cultivating tens of thousands of hectares of land and harvesting tens of millions of stones of grain" in advance.

Behind the forage harvester, there is also a transmission baler, which bundles the harvested alfalfa into one-meter-square bales and sends them to steam trucks for transportation to centralized livestock farms.

There are also a large number of people who have looted and returned from the Turkic steppe.

However, due to the lack of feed due to the locust plague in the Central Plains, the hungry mules and horses were waiting for food.

In this orange disaster, the ones who suffered the most damage were not the people in Guanzhong, but the large numbers of livestock that had been migrated all the way back from northern Xinjiang.

Compared with the northern grasslands, the fodder in the Central Plains is insufficient, and it cannot be replenished when there is a locust plague.

As a result, Li Shimin and others, who were responsible for receiving this batch of livestock, could only arrange for the livestock herds to continue migrating to areas in the south that were not affected by the locust plague. Since there was a locust plague anyway, they could not grow food and could not use them.

Large bales of alfalfa fodder are delivered to the feedlot, then thrown directly from the vehicle along the way, and driven away without stopping to rush back to the harvesting area for the next trip.

When the needs of the feedlots are met, the excess forage will be sent to the feed processing plants built on both sides of the Ku'an Highway to be processed into dry feed and silage for later use.

Some of the sprouts will even be sent to compressed dry food production plants to replace the dehydrated vegetables that originally need to be added to dry food, or sent to food festivals in the Tai Chi Imperial Capital, where they will be stir-fried, cold and stuffed into the stomachs of foodies.

inside.

Bai Yuqi does not plant alfalfa to raise locusts, and of course he will not leave the alfalfa grown there for the attracted locusts to eat.

The role of these alfalfa grasses is only to lure the locust tide to stay in the Guanzhong Gyeonggi area and not spread to surrounding areas.

Therefore, as long as there are signs that the locust tide is gathering again, a large number of combine harvesters will rush to harvest the alfalfa in the area. The strong walls and clear fields will definitely not leave rations for the locust breeding population!

This resulted in a swarm of locusts being attacked repeatedly by thunderstorm vehicles, bird brigade, and free-range chicken corps.

After gathering together again, we smelled the smell and headed straight to the area where alfalfa was planted.

Usually you will be dumbfounded to find that there are only broken branches and leaves on the ground and nothing to chew on.

Well, even if you are hungry, you can still chew it reluctantly.

But the problem is that before they can even take a bite, the Thunderstorm Truck, which looks like a Japanese raider, appears again, chasing them away, followed by a joint air and ground raid.

That is to say, the locusts cannot speak, otherwise they would shed tears and complain: This is such a shame!

Seeing that the locust plague was under control, both Bai Yuqi and the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They have done everything they can, and the rest can only depend on the subsequent development. Therefore, they left a large number of manpower behind to observe and monitor the locust plague, and then returned to the DPRK.
