Him?
I really didn't expect that he would actually be able to get to the palace examination.
Looking at his poor appearance in plain clothes.
This imperial examination was so open to all sorts of nobodies that anyone could participate.
Especially these high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Besides flattery, what other skills does he have?
As long as it's open.
They'll all cheer!
That's quite a chatterbox.
Why don't you go to the market, set up a stall, and hawk your wares?
"In my opinion, in addition to what the two gentlemen above have said, we should also spray pesticides in time when locusts lay eggs. We should start controlling them from the larvae. We can't wait until they grow up and eat the crops before we pay attention to it," Pei Qin added.
Liu Erbao listened to the two of them adding their own points.
His smug expression instantly crumbled.
“However, if we use pesticides, in addition to killing locusts, we may also accidentally harm some beneficial insects, just like Brother He just mentioned, such as some of the frogs that are raised, which also live in the fields,” Xie Ruofan retorted.
Pei Qin's expression darkened; this was something he truly hadn't anticipated.
"Indeed, that is a problem."
"If those drugs can kill locust larvae, it means they are toxic. If they are sprayed in large quantities, the land may be heavily polluted, which could affect the harvest that year."
"However, if only a small amount is sprayed, it probably won't have much effect on locusts with strong reproductive capabilities, and may even accidentally harm some other beneficial insects."
"This method is unacceptable! It must not be done, it must not be done..."
Emperor Yuanwu frowned slightly as he listened to the discussions among the crowd.
Although their discussion was heated.
But all of these things they mentioned are recorded in historical books.
If this method is indeed feasible.
The ancients had eradicated locusts long ago, so they wouldn't be a headache to be discussed today.
It seems that this year's candidates are mediocre and can only blindly apply what they've learned, without offering any constructive suggestions.
I fear that if they serve as officials in the previous dynasty, they will all be people who follow the crowd and are useless talents.
The students are getting worse every year.
He has no real knowledge or skills whatsoever.
Emperor Yuanwu sighed helplessly in his heart.
When Liu Erbao heard Xie Ruofan's suggestion being refuted.
He was secretly delighted.
But at this moment.
He moved his lips as if he wanted to add something, but his mind went completely blank.
Last night.
He clearly wrote down every single one of them.
How come I can't remember a single word now?
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Liu Erbao looked around and took a step back without making a sound.
He glanced furtively at the cuff. The white cuff was covered with all sorts of writing.
"Is there anyone else to add?" Emperor Yuanwu had given up all hope and asked casually.
Lu Zhaolin, who had remained silent, slowly walked to the center of the crowd.
"The students believe that in controlling locusts, we can start with the land in which crops are planted. According to previous historical records, locusts generally occur in mountainous areas, forests, grasslands, low-lying areas and semi-arid areas. The climate and geographical conditions of these areas provide suitable living environments for locusts."
"To fundamentally solve the problem of locust reproduction and growth, we can use different crops to change the composition of the locusts."
"For example, if we plant corn this year, we can plant other crops next year. Through the growth of these crops, we can absorb nutrients from the soil and balance the nutrients in the soil."
