As a lord, I was forced to farm

As the director of the Lingnong Division, he discovered these bugs only now, but what's the use of discovering them earlier?He couldn't save the wheat.

If the bugs just eat the leaves, he can stay in the field all day, catch them one by one, and at least save some wheat.

But in the ground...

Not only that, it is estimated that the land in Suling Town will not be able to grow wheat for several years or even more than ten years, because these insects will definitely lay their eggs in the ground. Once wheat is planted, these insects will revive and eat the roots of wheat.

This is really a disaster for farmers.

Like an ordinary pest plague, Suling Town has no way to deal with it without insecticides, let alone the even more troublesome red worm!
Li Yiniu's face was very ugly, "The better the wheat grows, the easier it is to provoke these wheats. Qingshan Village is the hardest hit area, but several other villages have also found traces of this kind of insects... Wait a few more times Today, when the wheat enters the mature stage, these bugs will officially eat!"

Ma Lian felt strange when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Wait, you said you are eating formally? Do these bugs still have the restraint to wait for the wheat to ripen?"

Speaking of this, Li Yiniu became even more angry, almost out of breath, "This is the habit of this bug."

He picked out a few worms with a stick, and watched the worms secrete a stream of red liquid from their bodies.

"This kind of bug is very cunning, and they are particularly picky eaters. They don't eat normal wheat roots. Their body fluids can help the roots of wheat grow stronger. So you see, our wheat has grown very well this year, and the roots are full. It's as thick as two fingers! The ears of wheat are especially full!"

"But Nima is all an illusion." Li Yi said arrogantly. Fortunately, he thought that this crop of wheat would be a bumper harvest, and he was so happy for a long time!

"These phenomena are temporary, because these bugs will start to gnaw the roots of the wheat on the eve of maturity, and then the wheat will fall, and the wheat will not be mature yet, and will die soon."

Jiang Ran now understands that these bugs are beneficial to Maizi in the early stage, but in the later stage, they will hurt Maizi.

Knowing the reason, Jiang Ran regained her composure and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Suling Town has been established for more than [-] years, and such a situation has never occurred.

The villagers talked a lot, "Just harvest the wheat, and the uncooked wheat grains can be eaten with some food."

Someone immediately retorted, "It's better to wait for the wheat to fall before harvesting. At least ten days later, the wheat will be fuller, and we will harvest more."

The man thought it made sense, and immediately stopped talking.

Ma Lian said: "My lord, if you lose this season, you will lose it. I am even more worried that these bugs will affect the wheat in the future!"

As soon as the words came out, they were immediately catered to, "Yes, yes, if we don't grow wheat, what do we live on?"

"Why don't we dig out all the wheat before these bugs are full and reproduce, and then burn the ground with a torch, and burn the bugs to death at high temperature!"

"Is there no other way?"

Some people are still reluctant. Everyone lives on one or two acres of wheat. Without this crop of wheat, they will starve to death this winter!

Li Yiniu and Ma Lian were silent. From a long-term perspective, burning the wheat in advance was the best result.

Jiang Ran didn't speak, and these might be used as alternatives.

"Xiaocheng, don't let the wheat spirit monster get close to the wheat until the problem is solved, let alone let the wheat spirit monster infect the wheat."

Jiang Ran handed the Mai Lingmon to Jiang Nancheng.

"Leave it for two days, the Lord has an experiment to do."

Then he said to Li Yiniu, Ma Lian, Wei Fengsheng behind him, and two other members of the pro-guards, "Follow me."

When Jiang Ran heard that it was a bug disaster, the first thing that flashed in Jiang Ran's mind was brown grass!

When I first saw this kind of grass in Yunxiang Mountain, Jiang Ran always wanted to get some to plant in Suling Town. At that time, the teleportation array was too expensive, and the place back to the town was too busy, so Jiang Ran had to deal with a lot of things. , Jiang Ran put the matter aside.

Brown clippers can secrete a sweet fragrance to attract insects. If it can work on red worms, they may be able to make them come out of the ground automatically without harming the roots!
Moreover, these insects can also be trapped, allowing them to drain the insect fluid that can stimulate the growth of wheat roots, turning pests into "beneficial insects"! !

The situation was urgent and waited for no one, so Jiang Ran took the group of people back to town.

Although Li Yiniu and the others didn't know what good idea the lord had, they really hoped that the lord could lead them out of this predicament.

So he stepped forward without hesitation!
"Yo Mi..."

The Mailingworm cried weakly in Jiang Nancheng's arms.

Jiang Ran comforted, "Don't worry, I will cure you."

A few other demon spirit liquid poked their heads out from the demon spirit ring. Sang Lingchong didn't know what happened to the buddy who had been with him since he was born. He tilted his head and climbed onto Jiang Nancheng's chest, sweeping his tail with his tail. The soles of Mai Ling's feet.

Because as long as it teased the former owner like this before, the former owner would rarely smile at it.

The carriage swayed forward amidst the sound of cicadas. At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and it was noon.

On the way back, Jiang Ran also saw Wu Chuan, the head of Aojia Village, leading a group of people back to the village in a mighty manner. Chicken feathers were flying in their hands and many wild pheasants were captured alive.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and asked, "What's going on in Aojia Village?"

Ma Lian also glanced at it, "Oh, you don't know, Wuchuan was born as a hunter, and he didn't know much about farming, so he took the hunters in the village to catch wild birds and pheasants, saying that they wanted to raise them, and went to Nanzhu Village to beg for what the villagers didn't want. Conch shell and conch excrement, mixed and crushed for wild children to eat... I don’t know the details, but the commotion is quite loud.”

Jiang Nancheng opened his cat's eyes wide after hearing this, "Can you support me?"

Ma Lian had no feelings for Aojia Village, and shrugged, "It seems to be good now. If it succeeds, our Qingshan Village will also buy some pheasants to raise."

It's not that I don't want to catch it by myself, but catching wild animals requires skill. The pheasants in the mountains are so slippery, and it's too difficult for someone without a few years of hunting experience to catch pheasants.

Jiang Ran was in a good mood when she heard it, and she didn't show it on the face, and she was even more satisfied with the village chiefs Lin Sha had chosen for her.

……

The main road in Suling Town was well repaired, and the carriage passed all the way without bumps, especially after entering the center of the town, it was even smoother.

After Chen Mao became the chief of the road engineering department, he has been working on infrastructure construction non-stop. Needless to say, with the help of other people, he found a new place suitable for mining stones, and hired all those who are capable of digging stones. Yiren, continuously transporting stones to Suling Town, and then building new roads.
