Chapter 809 A Restless Day

At this time, Zhou Xu was thinking about where to move the freed-up labor force to continue to shine, when the Plain Farm, as the most important grain production point in the Great Zhou Dynasty, ushered in an uneasy day...

It was a quiet afternoon, the autumn weather was clear and cloudless, and the farmers were busy harvesting the mature crops.

Because the farmland is so vast and the crops are growing so well, they are often even busier than other farms, and they are busy all day long.

For the farmers, this is a day of both pain and joy.

As the Minister of Agriculture at the time, Zhao Geng was picking samples and taking notes in the farm's experimental fields.

At this moment, a strange sound faintly entered his ears.

This hairstyle made Zhao Geng frown subconsciously.

[What's going on? What's that sound?]

With doubts in his mind, Zhao Geng stood up and looked around subconsciously.

There were many flying insects in this area. Zhao Geng and his team were not unfamiliar with that sound. It was the sound of insect wings flapping at high speed. But listening to the movement, wasn't it a bit exaggerated? "Look over there!"

Before Zhao Geng could react, the nearby farmers had already discovered the source of the sound.

In the distant sky, they saw a large object that looked like a black cloud approaching them rapidly.

As the distance quickly shortened, Zhao Geng finally saw the true face of the black cloud.

They turned out to be countless large and ugly flying insects!

The exaggerated number was overwhelming, like a sandstorm sweeping in, causing members of the Ministry of Agriculture, including Zhao Geng, to look terrified.

"What the hell! What the hell is going on?!"

At that moment, those hideous flying insects swarmed over madly like evil beasts that had smelled blood, as if they were going to completely submerge the entire plain farm!

The members of the Ministry of Agriculture, who had never seen such a scene before, were all terrified at this moment. The terrifying number made their scalps tingle. They even couldn't help but scream. They had no idea what to do.

Zhao Geng behaved relatively calmly. With his sharp eyes, he soon noticed that the flying insects quickly flew to the surrounding mature crops and began to eat them frantically. There were at least a dozen or even more flying insects crawling on one crop, which made people's scalps tingle.

"Damn it, they're eating the crops!!"

Zhao Geng shouted as he rushed forward quickly, trying to drive away the flying insects.

But there were so many flying insects that it was impossible to take pictures of them all. Even people felt dangerous staying inside, and the situation was completely out of control.

During the commotion, the guards responsible for protecting the farm rushed in quickly and took Zhao Geng away from the fields as quickly as possible.

"Minister Zhao, it's useless for you to stay here now. To ensure your safety, let's retreat into the house first!"

As he was shouting, the guards rushed over and carried Zhao Geng and ran out without thinking, until they were out of the range of the swarm of insects, and then they put him down.

At this moment, looking at the flying insects that almost covered the entire farm, Zhao Geng's face looked extremely ugly.

Since the establishment of Plain Farm, it has been very stable these years. No one expected that it would suddenly suffer such a disaster.

There is no point in going crazy now. The most important thing is to think of a solution quickly!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Geng forced himself to calm down.

"Wait a minute, why are there no flying insects here?!"

Zhao Geng calmed down and soon realized something was wrong.

It's not that there are no flying insects here, but they are so few that they can be almost ignored.

Just as Zhao Geng was wondering about this, a clucking sound not far away caught his attention.

Zhao Geng immediately turned his head and saw that it was the place on their farm where chickens and ducks were raised.

After all, the plain farms are too large. If all of this land is used for farming, the grain output will be too much, which is really unnecessary.

The lizardmen here also need meat supply on a daily basis, so they cleared out an area specifically for this purpose.

First, they took over a batch of chickens from a farm in Salt Lake City. Later, when their Majesty conquered the New World, they sent a batch of ducks from the New World. Now, after a year of breeding, they have grown to a considerable scale.

As he turned his head, Zhao Geng happened to see a chicken quickly open its mouth, catch a flying insect in it, and then eat it.

Zhao Geng was stunned for two seconds after seeing this scene, and then he quickly reacted and rushed to the place where the chickens and ducks were raised at the fastest speed, shouting as he ran...

"Quick! Release all the chickens and ducks on the farm and drive them to the fields! Quick! Quick!!!"

While he was shouting, Zhao Geng had already rushed to the fence gate as fast as he could and opened it. Then he rushed inside and kept driving the chickens and ducks inside out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The guards who had been chasing them all the way didn't know what Zhao Geng wanted to do, but since the other party said so, they simply did it.

At that moment, a large number of chickens and ducks came out from the breeding pens. There was no need for them to drive them away deliberately. The flocks of chickens and ducks directly rushed to the fields that were almost completely submerged by the swarm of insects.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Faced with the swarms of insects that they were trying to avoid but were helpless to do anything about, the flocks of chickens and ducks were like they were on a dining table. As they stretched and retracted their necks, one flying insect after another was eaten into their stomachs.

The flying insects that were devouring the crops unscrupulously finally met their nemesis at this moment!

In areas where chickens and ducks flock, the number of flying insects is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The remaining flying insects undoubtedly realized the threat and quickly rushed to other areas.

When the chickens and ducks saw that there was no "food" here, they naturally scattered to other areas where "food" was more abundant.

The insect plague that was once out of control was brought under control in a short period of time.

Including Zhao Geng, everyone's faces at this moment showed an expression of joy that could not be concealed.

This time the insect plague came suddenly. If they hadn't raised chickens and ducks on their farm, the crops in the fields that had not been harvested in time would have all been fed to the insects.

"Hurry! Hurry up and collect the food!"

After calming down, Zhao Geng quickly asked everyone to harvest the grain.

Although the presence of chickens and ducks has controlled the insect population to a certain extent, it is undeniable that the bugs continue to eat their crops.

If we hurry up and harvest now, we can reduce some of the losses.

During this period, Zhao Geng did not forget to observe the insects, chickens and ducks.

After this incident happened, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Zhao Geng, as the Minister of Agriculture, must do some research.

And now is a good time! (End of this chapter)
