Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 279: Method One for Exterminating Locusts
With money in your pocket, you don't have to panic!
But there is one more thing, if you buy a lot of rice every day, it will attract the attention of the country after a long time. Just kidding, the rice sales in Nandu City usually have a similar range in a month, and suddenly it doubles or even What the hell is double?

At that time, the country will definitely investigate.

Therefore, although the rice is not good, it really cannot be ordered from the nearest supermarket. Liu Guang must go to the nearest village to collect it. Of course, it is also possible to buy some in the city. As long as it is not too much, the country will not Will definitely pay attention to this aspect.

As for how to collect in the countryside, it has nothing to do with Zhu Changyuan. These are all handled by Liu Guang and those in the company. Anyway, there is now a whole department in the company that is responsible for purchasing items for supply in modern society. He is transported to a parallel world.

The purchase of food has been arranged, and it is considered to be over, but there is another more important thing to do as soon as possible.

He picked up the phone and called Gu Xiaotong, the daughter of Professor Gu of the Agricultural University.

"Hey, beauty, hello! Who am I? Guess, I'm so smart."

Zhu Changyuan laughed, and then asked: "Is Professor Gu at home? I want to ask him about some agricultural matters! At home, okay, I'll be there right away, goodbye!"

Hanging up the phone, looking at Liu Guang, said: "Don't be stunned, I'm at home and you are my driver, hurry up, go, Agricultural University, go to Professor Gu."

Liu Guang was not sloppy either. Recently his brother-in-law Tian Bin helped him a lot after he entered Nandu Luqiao. The burden on him was naturally much lighter. Not only did he look better, he also worked more easily.

However, although you are free, you cannot be careless.

The two went downstairs, drove Liu Guang's Q5, and walked all the way to the western suburbs of the southern city. After a journey of about [-] minutes, they arrived in the suburbs and saw the campus of the Agricultural University.

On the opposite side of the campus is a small high-rise building, which is the faculty's family courtyard of the Agricultural University.

Following the route in his memory, he found Gu Xiaotong's house downstairs. Zhu Changyuan opened the car door and said to Liu Guang, "It's been more than half a year since we came last time."

Liu Guang got out of the car, locked the car door, and said calmly, "Stop talking so much nonsense, think about buying something and go there, you can't go empty-handed."

Whoops!

Zhu Changyuan slapped his head, Liu Erdanzi really almost forgot if he didn't mention him!

China is a society of human affection. No matter how big or small the gift is, this gift is still indispensable. Many people obviously don't care whether the gift is expensive, but there are also many people who will regard these things as the criterion for judging whether others respect them.

"Why don't you buy some fruit?" Looking around, there was really nothing good to buy, so Zhu Changyuan had to decide to buy some fruit.

He and Liu Guang each carried a box of fruit and knocked on the door of Gu Xiaotong's house.

Professor Gu came out to greet him in person. Seeing Zhu Changyuan brought so many fruits, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "You are all the sons and nephews of President Wu, so you are welcome to come to me."

Zhu Changyuan smiled and put the things down in the living room, looked around and did not see Gu Xiaotong, and asked suspiciously: "Where is Gu Xiaotong, not at home!"

When he asked such a question, Professor Gu was secretly surprised. He thought that Zhu Changyuan had fallen in love with his own daughter, so he hurriedly excused himself and said, "I'm not at home. So you came to find Xiaotong. It's a coincidence that you are here with her." My boyfriend went to take wedding photos."

"Boyfriend? Wedding photo?" Zhu Changyuan laughed after hearing this. Isn't he the same sports student studying in the United States? He is tall and handsome. He almost crushed the bone in his hand.

"Yes!" Professor Gu asked the two to sit on the sofa and poured a glass of water for each of them.

However, the scholar was polite, still smiled and motioned to Zhu Changyuan to sit down, and then said: "I remember you did a soil sample analysis for you last year, how was it? Have those lands been improved later?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Hey, congratulations first, good things are coming soon, don't forget to let me know when the time comes, I'll come over to ask for a wedding drink! Then, Uncle Gu, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"How?" Professor Gu asked.

"Uncle Gu, to tell you the truth." Zhu Changyuan smiled all over his face, sat closer to Professor Gu, and said, "Actually, I contracted more than ten thousand mu of land in Africa. Last time, according to your instructions, the land It has been improved and harvested a season of crops, but now there are new problems, so this junior came to you for help."

When Professor Gu heard what Zhu Changyuan said, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and thought: So it wasn't my daughter.

However, for some reason, after thinking of this, Professor Gu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

When comparing people, good and bad are naturally distinguished.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the young man in front of him runs to his house again and again for his career, and it's a legitimate career, a career that suits the old man's appetite.

On the other hand, look at my future son-in-law. Although the family is rich, powerful and prestigious, but compared to Zhu Changyuan, I always feel that something is missing!
Self-motivated, yes, self-motivated!

That guy knows how to eat and play all day long, but fortunately, even though Jiang Xun is the principal's son, even though he is the second young master, although he is too old to be self-reliant, he finally treats Xiaotong better.

Thinking of this, Professor Gu felt a little better.

Looking at the two young men in front of him, he turned his attention to them again, and asked Zhu Changyuan, "Since the land has been improved, what problems can there be?"

In Professor Gu's view, although not everyone knows how to farm, it is not a high technology. As long as you follow the time method and scientific guidance, you will not have any problems.

"Locusts!" Zhu Changyuan said to Professor Gu with a bitter face, "Professor Gu, you may not know that other things in Africa are fine, but there are too many locusts. I have heard about how severe the locust plague is in ancient books. It wasn’t until I saw the locust plague in Africa that I realized what it means to overwhelm the sky and leave nothing behind.”

"Huh?" Professor Gu frowned slightly after hearing Zhu Changyuan's words, and at the same time couldn't help nodding, and said, "Yes, the natural environment in Africa is not as good as that in Asia, let alone Europe. It is normal to have locust plagues. Very troublesome!"

Since Zhu Changyuan spoke out about the problem, Professor Gu naturally knew the main purpose of his visit.

"This is not the main direction of my research, but I have also dabbled in it." Professor Gu thought for a while, got up and went to the study to get an old-looking notebook, flipped through it for a while, and looked at it. Side nod.

A little, closed the book, and said to Zhu Changyuan: "Drought locusts live together, and they have existed since ancient times. In fact, locust plagues are not surprising. Once a severe drought occurs in a certain place, the hatching rate of locust eggs will become surprisingly high. If In dense places, the survival rate is [-] times that of normal years, which is a disaster for crops and vegetation."

"Yes." Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath. He felt differently from Professor Gu. Professor Gu's pity was crops, because he had seen too many unbearable tragedies.

"I also ask Professor Gu to show me a clear path so that I can get through this difficult time."

Professor Gu nodded, and he praised Zhu Changyuan more in his heart.

Although the locust plague has caused him huge losses, this young man's eyes do not show the slightest bit of discouragement or loss. From his eyes, what he sees is a kind that even experienced people do not have. firm.

There is almost no such intelligence among young people!

"En." Professor Gu nodded, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "The locust plague has a great relationship with the natural environment. It is not uncontrollable, but it is very troublesome to manage."

"To put it simply, there are several methods. The first method is agricultural control. Generally speaking, locusts are extremely harmful to most crops, but there are some things that locusts don't eat. For example, soybeans and fruit trees. You can If you want to consider planting these things on rented land, the downside is that the yield of soybeans is low, and the payback period for fruit trees is too long."

After Zhu Changyuan heard it, he didn't take it seriously. What a joke, how much yield can one mu of soybeans produce, let alone fruit trees, not to mention the long recycling cycle, they will bear fruit immediately after planting. I am a land of millions of hungry people in Shaanxi Is it possible to eat apples every day without eating food?

Bullshit!

However, it's no wonder that Professor Gu is telling the truth!

Seeing that Zhu Changyuan shook his head slightly, Professor Gu said again: "The second method can be called biological control. Although locusts are difficult to deal with, they are easy to cause disasters in dry years, but they also have natural enemies. For example, frogs, various birds, chickens, Ducks, these are the natural enemies of locusts, especially ducks. According to statistics, an adult duck can eat up all the locusts in two acres of land. If these things are artificially raised in large numbers in locust-prone areas, it will not only control locust plagues , and can also develop the breeding industry, killing two birds with one stone.”

"However, the disadvantage of this method is also obvious, that is, manpower is limited after all, and how many people can you organize to feed chickens and ducks and eliminate locust plagues!"

Zhu Changyuan kept this in mind silently, if others couldn't organize it, he could!

At least it will be no problem to get tens of thousands of people in the future.

"Also, locust larvae can't fly after hatching, they can only crawl on the ground. It is feasible to feed more ducks. In addition, I don't know in Africa. If it is in northern China, planting winter wheat in winter can also prevent locust plagues. happened!"

Nani?

Zhu Changyuan was surprised when he heard Lao Gu's conclusion.

Winter wheat can prevent locust plagues. What kind of theory is this?
