    no, 275 Locust extermination is difficult

    No, in addition to talking about poultry killing locusts, they also talked about frogs killing locusts. Ordinarily, the frogs should be effective in killing locusts. It is said that since the news about locusts was released last year, the frogs have been listed as prohibited from culling by local governments.  animal.  When I was walking outside several times, I even found that the toad venom in this medicinal store had been discontinued.  Many medical practitioners are still complaining about this.  Even if the frog's feeding capacity is low, it's not like there are locusts everywhere, right?

    Could it be that the severe drought in Guanzhong this year and the lack of water resources caused the frogs to be exterminated late due to insufficient living conditions?  Or is it that most of the locusts now are just eggs and there are relatively few larvae and adults, so the progress of frog eradication of locusts is not obvious?  Causing panic among the people?

    Huang Junming rubbed his hair. The hair that was originally neatly tied in the miter became extremely messy. He had a headache.  I really don’t know how those time-travelers mentioned in the original book could easily solve the locust plague.

    Poultry killing locusts hurts the banker's seedlings, and frogs killing locusts are ineffective, let alone pesticides. If they don't specialize in this, no one can do it. Even if they did this before time travel, they may not be able to produce good results.  After all, it is impossible to achieve the modern situation in terms of productivity and so on.

    ??Could it be said that locusts are really put on the public’s dining table as an ingredient?  Just kidding, not to mention disgusting or not, even in modern times, eating locusts has just started. It is just something people eat after dinner to stop talking. In this locust plague throughout the Tang Dynasty, the number of locusts is more than hundreds of millions. How many are there in the Tang Dynasty?  Is it possible for people in every household to eat locusts?  It is simply nonsense. Even if every family eats locusts, can they eat all the locusts in the world?

    Although Huang Junming can be said to have integrated into the Tang Dynasty as an immortal, he is still a modern person at heart.  In Huang Junming's memory, there is really no way to effectively stop or even eliminate locusts.  After all, there has never been a large-scale locust plague in modern times.

    Huang Junming waved away the people who were anxiously waiting for the answer, and took a few Xiaodao with him.  I turned around and went down the mountain. Anyway, I should go and see what the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty was like.

    The area under the jurisdiction of Chang'an City is very large. As the capital of a country, although talents from all walks of life gather in the city, there are still many fields outside Chang'an City.  The Tang Dynasty built its country with military force and agriculture. It can be said that the emphasis on agriculture was unprecedented.  From the royal family and nobles to the common people.  In addition to slaves, even ordinary people who are too poor to take the blame still have some land to their name.

    The residents of Chang'an City are not so much city dwellers.  But there are also fields under his own name.  And these fields are all arranged outside the city.  And because Chang'an City is one of the locust-stricken areas.  It was quite necessary for Huang Junming to go to the field and take a look.

    "Wen Rang, Wen Shan, Wen Zhi, you go to the fields and take a look. If you find any locusts or insect eggs, call Pindao." Huang Junming said to the three young Taoists behind him at the edge of the field.

    These three Taoists are all farm children, and they still have a certain understanding of locusts and locust eggs.  He just responded and walked along the field ridge to investigate.

    After the three literary Taoists left, Huang Junming squatted beside the field and turned over the soil.  The land seemed to have been plowed and watered recently.  It feels loose but not dry.  As for the locust eggs, I haven’t really found them yet.  It must have been processed just now.

    Huang Junming grabbed a piece of soil and gently kneaded it in his hands, thinking about something in his heart.  Sudden.  I heard someone next to me say, "Taoist Priest, what are you doing?"

    Huang Junming looked over when he heard the sound. He was young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was also very plainly dressed. He could tell at a glance that he was a farm boy.  When the young man saw Huang Junming, he looked a little bit like Nono's last step.  Then he had the courage to ask: "Taoist Priest, what are you doing beside our farm?"

    Huang Junming looked at the child who was obviously lacking confidence, smiled kindly, and then said: "Don't be so nervous, Pindao doesn't mean any harm. Pindao came here just to see what the locusts look like, and to be prepared to deal with them."  That's all. I just looked at your field and found no trace of locusts. What's going on?" Huang Junming asked.

    The young farmer's eyes lit up when he heard that Huang Junming came to see the locusts. He took a closer look at Huang Junming's attire, ran over quickly, and said to Huang Junming: "Taoist Priest, you are the Taoist Priest of Tianxian Palace, right?"  My father said that the Taoist priests of Tianxian Palace are sincerely serving the people. They must be polite when they see them." Obviously Huang Junming's Tianxian Palace has a high status in the hearts of the people nearby.

    The young man looked at the soil in Huang Junming's hand and said, "Taoist priest, you can't see locusts in our fields!"

    "Oh? What's going on?" Huang Junming was confusedasked.

    "This is the Taoist priest." The young man pointed to the land and said, "Locusts like drought, but our land is not short of water. Therefore, locusts have not laid eggs in our land." After saying this, look at  Seeing Huang Junming's clear look, he added: "If Taoist Master really wants to find Locust Boy, he can take you there, but you have to walk a while."

    "Oh? Well done." Upon hearing this, Huang Junming immediately stood up and called from a distance to the three trailblazers who had already walked a long way.  Follow the boy.  Walk deeper into the field.

    "Taoist Master, these locusts like drought. Generally, there will be no locust eggs under the moist ground. There will only be locust eggs in fields that lack irrigation. Don't you know? As long as you peel off the land, you will see densely packed locusts.  The eggs are scary to see. Since you, the Taoist Master, are from the Celestial Palace, you should also know that since the Immortal Master said that chickens and ducks can eat locust eggs, we all raise chickens and ducks. When we first discovered the locust eggs,  We fed our chickens and ducks to their fullest, and each of them gained several kilograms. However, the ground was dug up by the chickens and ducks, and all the crops they planted were destroyed. Fortunately, we saved more food last year.  , our family still has such a piece of land that is not affected by locusts this year, otherwise we would really be hungry!"
