In Chang 'an City.
All the people were hunting for locusts like crazy. The insecticide on a beacon tower was still burning in the distance.
From Chang 'an City to Hedong Road, Henan Road, Jiannan Road, Shannan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Longyou Road, all the beacon towers were lit.
There were even people who used the fire belt that Zhang Feng had mentioned in a suitable area. They used the method of burning. In addition to the supplementary herbs that were burned in the fire, this instantly reduced the threat of the locusts.
But this was just a facade.
The locusts that blotted out the sky and covered the earth continued to pour in from the direction of Longyou and Tuyuhun.
Li Shimin waved his hand again.
He mobilized all the pharmacies and collected all the herbs that could be used to weaken the locusts.
But now.
The locusts' momentum was gone.
Tuyuhun and Tubo didn't believe Li Shimin at first. But when they saw the situation, they took the prescription that Zhangsun Wuji gave them and learned from the Tang Dynasty.
They implemented it bit by bit.
Although people were a little dizzy and some even had diarrhea, at least the locusts were eliminated.
This was undoubtedly a good news for them. At this time, the people of Tubo and Tuyuhun didn't thank their king. Instead, they thanked the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for him, they would have been dead by now.
After three days, the locusts were finally stopped at the root.
But looking at the barren land, everyone was dumbfounded.
How could they plant crops like this?
All the crops in the fields this year were fed to those damn locusts. How could they survive?
At this time.
Li Shimin and his people had arrived near the Shili Slope outside Chang 'an City.
Li Shimin and his people were about three hundred, but each of them pretended to be people catching locusts. At this time, the trees on the Shili Slope were still there, but there were no leaves. On the trees and on the ground, there were dense locusts that were dizzy from the insecticide.
Looking at this barren land that stretched as far as the eye could see, Li Shimin asked in astonishment, "Little Guizi, this … is Shili Slope? I remember that this place used to be lush with vegetation, and it was all jungles. But … why are the trees all bare? Where is the grass? "
"Your Majesty … it's all eaten by locusts …"
"It's all gone …"
Little Guizi's face was full of grief.
Li Shimin felt dizzy. If Wei Shuyu hadn't been smart and supported Li Shimin, Li Shimin might have already sat on the ground.
"How … how is this possible?"
Li Shimin was shocked. lt
Was this the power of locusts?
If it weren't for Zhang Feng and his brother's formula, they wouldn't have been able to control most of the locusts in such a short time. Even if they wanted to achieve the current results, it would probably take more than a month!
This.
Thinking that next year, which was the third year of Zhenguan, there would be a more serious locust plague than this one, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel scared.
If this was true, then all the herbs this year had been used up. What about next year?
What about next year?
He didn't think that if they did this this year, all the locusts would have been killed before the breeding season. Plus, all the chickens and ducks would have gone to war. Then, where would there be locusts next year?
Plus, there would be fire.
And if Tubo and Tuyuhun used the herbs that could directly kill locusts, then where would there be locusts next year?
Even if there were, it would only be a few, far from the scale of this year.
Li Shimin didn't think of all this at this time.
He was just shocked by everything in front of him.
"Ga ga ga!"
At this time.
A large flock of ducks and chicks, with no end in sight, were being herded by hundreds of people from afar.
At this time, the ducks' bellies were full. Under the herders' herding, they circled a large area by the Wei River for the ducks to rest temporarily. It seemed that tomorrow, the Ten Mile Slope would be their next battlefield.
It wasn't until he saw the ducks and chicks that Li Shimin's mood improved slightly.
After all, although everything was bare now, as long as there were no more locusts, the Ten Mile Slope would recover in less than a month.
It was only a matter of time.
If they could control the locust plague this year, what about next year?
Since Zhang Feng could think of a solution this time, then what about next year?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little tired and started patrolling again.
"Eh? Lao Li? You also brought your servants to make a fortune! "
At this time, a person suddenly appeared from behind the crowd and waved his hands at Li Shimin.
At this time, he was already held down by the Jinwu Guards in makeup.
When Li Shimin heard the voice, how could he not know who it was?
He hurriedly turned around and ordered the crowd to retreat.
"What are you doing? Let go of Brother Zhang Feng! "
"Brother, why are you here?"
Li Shimin hurried over and asked.
Zhang Feng pointed at the basket behind him.
"I have nothing to do, right? I came here to see if I could get some game, but as you can see, there are only locusts and grasshoppers here. Didn't you see that flock of ducks? I was thinking of buying a few to make soy sauce duck! "
