Chapter 331 The City Is Full of 0 People Catching Grasshoppers

Bi Gou left. After breakfast, he led the team back and did not stay until night.

He was anxious. The more powerful Li Yi and Li Yi Zhuangzi's bankers behaved, the more afraid he became.

Your Majesty is willing to throw out such a powerful young man and banker? If it were him, he would wish he could take it with him every day.

Bi Gou believed that if this team was brought to the junction of Datang and Tubo, it would definitely bring confidence to the locals in Datang and cause huge losses to Tubo.

Judging from the way the farmers treated the little babies, they knew they couldn't do heavy work, but they didn't persuade them to leave.

Apparently the family is shouting out, if you can get an extra income, you will get an extra income. Will the adults beat the children when they go back?

Last night, water came out of the well, and the farmer then said that there was still work to do. It sounded rude, but it was actually another kind of subsidy.

When it comes to helping 'one's own', the banker can be so considerate, and when it comes to calculating his enemies, he is right in his thinking.

This is clearly a team that can be trusted if there is any problem.

The more such a team is, the less willing it is to be sent abroad, and the strongest strength must be placed at your side.

I was slow to cooperate, and one more people starved to death, which made me feel uneasy.

There is not only one Henan Prefecture in the area south of Taihang Mountain. Young Li Yi clearly wants to use the transportation of Henan Prefecture to complete the layout.

"Lao Bi is quite easy to talk to. He is worthy of being rated as the number one administrator in the Jinglong period and the first in the Kaiyuan period."

Seeing Bi Gou running away in a hurry, Li Yi made a comment.

When Bi Gou knew that the situation was serious and had a way to deal with it, he took action immediately.

Li Yi recognized this execution ability alone, and an old man, a second-grade official, and the governor of Henan Province were willing to cooperate without any orders.

What if it's wrong? Who will take the blame?

"Increase the amount of bone meal added, hire people to feed chickens, ducks and piglets, and pay attention to spraying lime water for disinfection."

Bi Gou went to work, but Li Yi couldn't be idle.

He decided to increase manpower. The two small rivers at the foot of the mountain were suitable for ducks.

Ducks are not like chickens in laying eggs. They will lay eggs when they are happy by the river, and they need to be picked up by people.

Chickens lay in nests. When they think there are enough, the old hens will lie down in the nests to hatch their eggs. In some areas, they are called nesting nests.

Nowadays, instead of using old hens to incubate, small fire pits are being built and placed on the fire pit for artificial incubation.

As for other methods, it is difficult to control the temperature. Just teach it to the people, and the people will watch the operation themselves.

After four months, the pullet will grow up and be able to lay eggs again.

It can reach the level where one day is enough to hatch a batch of chickens and ducks in one day. In less than five months, there are more than two million chickens and ducks.

Maybe there will be another batch of outbreaks before the winter snows.

In winter, it is more difficult for ordinary people to raise chickens. They cannot raise them outside and can only keep them in the house. If they persist for a month, the chickens can go out, but they are not very resistant to freezing.

You can build a chicken rack and cover it with grass.

If the duck is not good enough, the duck will not be put on the shelf. There is a saying: put the duck on the shelf.

That is, the paws of the duck can grasp the railings on the shelf, but the duck has webbed feet and cannot stand.

Li Yi calculated the number and the extent to which the people accepted artificial incubation, mainly the temperature. The people did not have thermometers and needed to touch them with their hands to feel the temperature.

Generally, a person's body temperature is slightly higher.

The bankers took action and went out to hire people. Now it was not a matter of making money, since they would not lose money anyway.

As soon as Bi Gou returned home, he wrote the notice himself, making it as straightforward and simple as possible.

Tell the people that on the mountain twenty-five miles west of Luoyang City, you can exchange grasshoppers for chickens and ducks, and you can also learn how to hatch them yourself.

In addition, eggs and duck eggs that cannot hatch can be exchanged for locusts, which is very cost-effective.

Then write about how to light a fire in the wild at night, lure locusts to fly in, and catch them with a net bag.

After he finished writing, a group of people copied it. Several copies were copied and posted immediately to Luoyang City, and other places in Henan Prefecture sent fast horses to deliver them.

The people in Luoyang City almost all knew the news that afternoon.

"There are still ten days to go before we have chickens, and now we have to exchange grasshoppers for eggs."

"That's the prodigal son."

"I heard that I brought tens of thousands of chickens and ducks here."

"If we catch too many locusts, will we offend God?"

"The one who read the notice didn't read it! If we don't eat it, let it be eaten by the chickens and ducks. God wants to punish the chickens and ducks."

"That's the principle, whoever eats it will get it."

"Find a place to light a fire tonight."

"Don't let the water escape, it will burn a large area."

As Li Yi said, it is easy for people to choose the side that is beneficial to them, they only need an excuse.

Before it gets completely dark, people in Luoyang have already set off with their families or in groups with their neighbors to light fires in places where they see many grasshoppers during the day.

Bi Gou disguised himself and stood on the street, shaking his head and saying, "Sure enough, money and silk are what move people's hearts. What kind of power is there? If there are benefits in front of them, they are all taking action."

His younger brother Bi Xu was also an official in Luoyang and came to find him after learning about the situation.

"Brother, why did Li Yi come here?" Bi Xu felt uneasy.

"You don't need to know. The more you know, the more trouble you will have." Bi Gou didn't say that the locust plague is not currently breaking out, so what can I say? Is it disturbing people’s hearts?

There was an anxious look on Bi Xu's face: "Brother, there are rumors among the people that Li Yi on the mountain is the owner of Lijiazhuangzi on the bank of Bashui in the east of Chang'an City."

"Yes, a young man's reputation is not based on his poetry or literary talent." This is what Bi Gou is most satisfied with about Li Yi.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many children or young people with good literary talents who always participated in various poetry gatherings and visited other people's houses.

Of course, that boy Li Yi also spread a lot of lyrics and music. Whatever he sang in Pingkangfang in Chang'an would be popular in Luoyang.

Luoyang Goulan and Huachuan are more interested in these lyrics and music.

The people who are farming are thinking about the artifacts for cutting wheat, threshing artifacts, and hulling artifacts. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Businessmen are thinking about soap, toilet water, glycerin, lighters, fermented bean curd and other things.

It can be said that he has a great reputation, but I don’t know what he looks like.

This kind of people, not to mention having official status, even if they are white-blooded, if they commit crimes in Luoyang, they dare not be put on the shackles, and they have to ask the palace for instructions.

Bi Xu didn't know what his eldest brother was thinking, but he was still worried: "What if he comes here to deceive others?"

"What can you deceive people? Grasshoppers exchange eggs for one pound. Can't the common people tell the difference between real and fake eggs?" Bi Gou waved his hand.

Just as Bi Xu was about to continue speaking, a group of children jumped and ran over and shouted.

"Catch grasshoppers, exchange them for grasshoppers. If you catch grasshoppers, you can get eggs. A pound of grasshoppers means a pound of eggs, and a cart of grasshoppers is nothing. Catch locusts, and give them away. If you give away locust eggs, they will be fragrant..."

The children ran away shouting.

The Bi Gou brothers were stunned.

"Hahahaha~~" After a moment, Bi Gou laughed. He knew who made up the nursery rhyme without having to guess.

"Which one made it up? It's too vulgar and lacks any literary talent." Bi Xu frowned.

After hearing this, Bi Gou took out three books from his sleeve pocket and handed them over: "Copy one copy and send it back to me. It was for your nephew."

Just when Bi Xu was about to belittle the person who made up the nursery rhymes, he saw the book and held it in his hand.

He looked at the characters first and said: "Good characters. I have never seen them before, but they give people the feeling of plum blossom branches."

When he opened it and read it again, he was shocked after a few pages.

"Brother, who made it? Did you get this kind of heirloom? You need to learn from it. Even an older person can see it." Bi Xu carefully observed the surroundings.

"It was written by the person who made up the nursery rhyme just now." Bi Gou said with a smile.

"Ah?" Bi Xu opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
