Yu Yalan told Xu Yongnian all the specific locust control plans, and then several people discussed the details of the operation together.

After allocating the tasks and areas that each person is responsible for, the locust control operation officially begins.

Mu Yang, Chi Xue, Han Shan and Luo Zhou worked separately to teach locust prevention and control methods to various county governments under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Prefecture, and then taught them to all farmers in the county and villages, teaching people to distinguish between groups.

Type and scattered locusts, learn about the morphological characteristics and living habits of locusts.

The county government then organized farmers to dig ditches near the fields, use brooms to sweep away locust eggs and locust flies in the fields, and then collect the locusts in the ditches for incineration.

Of course, sweeping away insects cannot solve many problems. The most important method is locust extermination drugs.

Yu Hongxuan has developed the biological agent "Locust Killer" based on the data. This agent is harmless to humans, animals and the environment. It can kill various forms of locusts powerfully and efficiently. It also has a certain anti-insect effect and can kill locusts in a short time.

To avoid the recurrence of locust plague.

Yu Yalan used the universal factory in the space to mass-produce enough medicine, and then donated it to the Yanzhou Government in the name of Liuhe Villa, and the Yanzhou Government was responsible for distributing it to each county and village.

In addition, Yu Yalan also provided free seeds of a low-grade spiritual grass to the people of Yanzhou - insect-eating alfalfa. This spiritual grass has very low requirements for the growth environment, has high drought tolerance and can kill insects in the soil.

Feeding on locust eggs and insect eggs, it effectively kills locust eggs and locust flies. No insects can even survive in the place where it is planted.

Insect-eating alfalfa can mature and be harvested in three months. Many livestock like to eat it. It is a very high-quality pasture resource. People can use it to raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and in the future it can also provide feed for the Song family's war horses.

Xu Yongnian mobilized the people of the whole government by beating gongs and drums, and led everyone to spray locust-killing pesticides in the fields. He also planted insect-eating alfalfa in the only way from Longxi to Yanzhou, trained farmers to learn to detect locusts, and eliminated sporadic locust plagues.

Killed at the starting point.

In order to encourage the people to actively participate in the locust control operation, Liuhe Villa also provided food and drinking water as rewards. Everyone was originally afraid of the locust plague, so if they could get benefits, they would naturally be willing to work hard to respond.

At first, the people of Yanzhou were still doubtful about pesticides and alfalfa, but after witnessing the effects of pesticides and the growth of alfalfa with their own eyes, everyone became more confident in the actions to prevent and control the locust plague.

Half a month later, the locust plague in Longxi ravaged the entire territory, and Qinxi was also affected. A series of locust plagues successively invaded various parts of the province. Only Yanzhou was successfully spared from this disaster.

Yu Yalan actually wants to help other prefectures, but there are likely to be hostile forces lurking in those places. If she rashly joins forces with nearby prefectures, it will definitely attract unnecessary attention and trouble.

So Xu Yongnian made a suggestion, asking the people of Yanzhou to dispose of the excess pesticides and grass seeds at home and sell them to other people in nearby cities to provide them with locust extermination methods and supplies.

The common people were overjoyed when they heard this, and took the remaining locust spirits and alfalfa seeds to Linfu to sell them, so as to earn some money for home use. The transactions among the common people were scattered and low-key, and the government offices in various places did not notice the market.

exception on.

Yu Yalan was also inspired by this, and sent private soldiers from the villa to sneak into various prefectures in western Qin, sowing medicine and grass seeds at night to help the people of western Qin overcome the difficulties of the locust plague.

Although it is impossible to be careful and thorough when acting in secret, this plan still played a positive role. With the gradual spread of locust-killing spirit and insect-eating alfalfa, an anti-locust barrier was formed with Yanzhou as the center, ravaging the whole of Longxi.

The terrible locust plague in the province was stopped in the western Qin Dynasty, and could no longer spread to other places.

"The righteous deeds of my brothers and sisters are of immeasurable merit! On behalf of the people of Yanzhou, I would like to thank you for your deep kindness and righteousness!"

After the locust control was successful, Xu Yongnian immediately came over to bow to the Yu siblings and express his gratitude. His excitement was beyond words.

If they hadn't given their full help and advice this time, the people of Qinxi would have been wiped out by the locust disaster.

Powerful medicines, miraculous alfalfa, and a series of locust control plans were all recorded in the local chronicles by him, leaving behind the most precious disaster-fighting experience for future generations.

Yu Yalan glanced at the huge white wolf lying nearby, and accepted the other's appreciation with a faint smile.

"Master Xu, you don't have to be polite. We, my brothers and sisters, are now considered Yanzhou people, so we naturally have to do our best to help the local people. You have also put in a lot of efforts to control the locusts this time. Yanzhou can have the stability and stability it has today.

The prefect should take the lead!"

Bai Lang has already reported to her the gratifying increase in merit energy, and this time the locust control has indeed brought her great benefits.

Seeing everyone rejoicing because of their success in fighting the disaster, she truly understood the meaning of meritorious deeds.

Xu Yongnian was a little embarrassed by the praise, and a satisfied smile appeared on his usually shrewd face. After calming his mind for a while, he talked about the next important matter.

"Because the locust plague has delayed the opportunity for spring plowing, the people of Yanzhou have not planted this year's rice seedlings. There are not many usable grain seeds left in the entire city. Farmers are beginning to panic. Sister, you said last time that you were willing to provide high-yielding sweet potatoes.

, I wonder if we can start planting now?”

Yu Yalan nodded and waved to Mu Yang and others to bring in baskets of sweet potato seedlings.

"I have completed raising high-yielding sweet potato seedlings. Sir Xu can just assign them to farmers for planting."

Because distributing whole sweet potatoes on a large scale would easily arouse the suspicion of interested people, Yu Yalan had to cut the sweet potatoes into pieces in advance and raise seedlings in the space. People could not judge the specific quantity after receiving individual sweet potato seedlings, let alone guess the number of Liuhe Villa.

Grain stocks.

Xu Yongnian was dazzled by these more than twenty baskets of green seedlings. His mood that had just calmed down became excited again. He cupped his hands and thanked Yu Yalan for his generosity. He immediately returned to the government office with the sweet potato seedlings to do some work.

With this batch of ready-made seedlings, the people of Yanzhou will definitely be able to survive this year's drought. It is really the wisest decision to bring my adopted brother to the northwest. The accompanying younger brother and sister will be a lucky star to save the world!

Yu Yalan watched him leave in a hurry, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart.

Xu Yongnian was indeed a good official who served the country and the people, but it was a pity that he was not appreciated and was thrown into a barren land. If he could reach a higher position in the future, he would surely be able to make more outstanding achievements.

It is said that everything is due to fate. Xu Yongnian gave them a place to live and settle down. They also helped Xu Yongnian survive crisis after crisis. They formed close friends of life and death who worked together to advance and retreat together, and they fought together in this troubled world of internal and external troubles.

future.
