Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 84 Insect eggs (recommended for collection)

So Zhang Yi said humbly: "The Taoist priest is serious! This junior is just doing something within his power, and you are so appreciative without any results. This junior really feels ashamed!"

"I'm ashamed of myself, so don't say it in the future!" Sun Simiao interrupted Zhang Yi and said, "There are too many people who say it with a high-sounding sound, but there are not many people who stand up for it. Besides, this method is a trick. A good idea, no matter what others think, at least one thing can be guaranteed, that is, even poor people can use medicine in time in the future.

We started off as a patented medicine for wind-cold, as long as it works, we can make other medicines in the future, so that there will be no more pain in the world! "

Looking at the rickety old man in front of him, he was still in rags, and he didn't even look like a fairy at all.But Zhang Yi had the feeling of meeting a saint for the first time. In his opinion, Sun Simiao is now a god or a saint, because he has become the purest person who has become only others for the benefit of the ethnic group. .

In fact, there are such people in every dynasty, such as Wei Zheng in the current dynasty, Wang Anshi in the political reform, or the so-called people in later generations who took the factory as their home in order to increase steel production. Unlimited, I would rather suffer by myself.

So they are worthy of respect, at least that's what Zhang Yi thinks now.

Of course, when it comes to medicinal materials, although the sky is gradually getting dark, Zhang Yi thinks it is better to go to the field with this deified old fairy. The big expert let him see the medicinal seedlings in the field, which would definitely save Zhangjiazhuang's medicinal material industry a lot of detours.

He asked Lao Zhong to inform some old people in the village, and the two walked slowly towards the field.

Jingyang in spring is very beautiful in the twilight. The fiery red light of the setting sun makes the whole world more lively. Along the way, the green shoots are full of infinite vitality.

Sun Simiao likes to walk and stop from time to time to look at the medicine seedlings in the field, or check the soil in the field, from the perilla field to the Chuanxiong field, and then to the Bupleurum field, and he repeats it every time he walks View every detail.

"Sun Daochang, what do you think?" Zhang Yi asked.

He doesn't have any experience in planting medicinal materials at all, and he wouldn't dare to try it if it wasn't for the precedent of planting a large number of medicinal materials in later generations.But even though he knew he could do it, he was still a little worried.After all, such large-scale planting often encounters some difficult problems, such as climate or pests.

The climate is good, after all, Guanzhong is very suitable for the growth of herbs, and the commonly used herbs for wind and cold are not drugs that must grow under very harsh conditions, such as ginseng or snow lotus.From this point of view, there is actually no reason to worry.

But when it comes to pests, it is a bit worrying.

Because no one has planted them in batches, they have no experience, and there is no record of this in the medical books, let alone the issue of prevention and control.That is to say, if there is a pest infestation in this medicine field, the consequences will undoubtedly be quite serious. In the Tang Dynasty without any chemical pesticides, the direct consequence would be a reduction in production or even a failure of harvest.

Obviously, such consequences Zhang Yi does not want to become a reality, so now he very much hopes to hear from Sun Simiao some methods of prevention and treatment in this area, even if there is no method, at least he must be aware of it.

"Not bad!" Sun Simiao nodded after seeing the Bupleurum seedlings, and said to Zhang Yi: "It's the first time I've seen herb planting like food, but as you said, since we can grow food like this, we can grow medicinal materials like this." It's also feasible. I just looked at these few quick places, and the effect is very good. Compared with the wild medicinal materials in the mountains, perhaps because of irrigation or someone's care, each one is much larger. If there is no accident, its medicinal power Should be bigger!"

"In addition to this, does the Taoist priest have any other discoveries?" Zhang Yi still didn't give up. He didn't want to hear good things. On the contrary, if he could hear bad news, he thought it would be better than good news.

"Other than that, there are no other discoveries, but" Sun Simiao stood up slowly, took out two rice-shaped objects from his hands, and said, "Look at this first!"

After taking it, Zhang Yi looked it over carefully. The thing in his hand was in the shape of an oval cylinder, not big, and very round. In his opinion, it should be an insect's egg.

Zhang Yi was a little uncertain, and then took out one and put it on the nail cover and pressed it lightly, and the eggs immediately turned into a small ball of liquid.

"Is this an egg?" Zhang Yi became a little nervous.

"That's right!" Sun Simiao bent down here again, and searched the soil in the ground. After a while, several eggs like this appeared in his hands, and he suddenly felt a little unsteady, saying: "At first, the old man I didn't care, but after seeing so many places, I became alert!"

While speaking, Sun Simiao's face turned livid, and looking at Zhang Yi with a blank face, he explained: "This is the locust egg. In fact, there were such things in the field before, but after the winter frost and snow, most of the locust eggs Almost all froze to death, and even if some survived it wouldn't do much harm. It wasn't very cold last winter though, so."

"So this year, only a small part of the eggs were frozen to death, and the vast majority of the eggs survived!" Zhang Yi added coldly: "That means that in the next period of time, the locusts will follow suit. As the sun gets warmer and warmer, it gradually hatches, and then grows wings to harm medicinal materials?"

Sun Simiao closed his eyes helplessly, nodded after sighing, and said sadly: "It seems to be true, this time I am afraid it will be another catastrophe! Once these locusts grow into wings, let alone these medicinal materials, even I am afraid that the whole Guanzhong will not escape this catastrophe! God knows how many people will be displaced by then.”

In June of the fifth year of Tang Zhenguan, there was a severe drought in the world, locusts rose up, and the red land was thousands of miles away.This sentence is the description of this locust plague in the history books in Zhang Yi's impression at the moment. Combined with the evidence provided by Sun Simiao now, he can be sure that the locust plague in history will come as promised without even thinking about it.

PS: It's still too late, but I finally wrote it out, I hope you like it.In addition, the locust plague has arrived in Zhenguan. Readers, guess what method Zhang Yi will use to feel it?Livestock eat it, or launch a nationwide hunting?still?
　Thank you for the reward of 1000 coins in the prosperous times, so happy!Thank you!
