The paper passed to her contained the results of Prince Fusu's land survey in the past few days, and also asked her how to control the locust plague.
They were stationed in the Yinshan area of the Hetao Plain.
The Hetao Plain is a famous irrigation agricultural area and a major grain producer. As long as the locust problem is solved, there will be no worries about food and drink there.
As she thought about it, she pulled out a booklet from the table. This was a booklet containing methods for preventing and controlling locust plagues that had been prepared long ago.
Locusts mainly eat corn, wheat, sorghum, rice, millet, etc.
So this time, the seeds she bought did not contain corn.
Although corn was a very high-yield crop in ancient times, due to the locust plague, only crops that locusts would not eat could be planted.
High-yield soybean seeds are suitable for emergency planting.
However, if Fusu wanted to control the locust plague, the simple way was to raise more natural enemies of locusts, such as chickens and ducks, which eat locusts.
You can also raise some fish ponds to reduce the reproduction of locusts.
...
...
However, this method can only be used when the locusts have not yet become a disaster. If large swarms of locusts attack in an overwhelming manner, there will be no other way.
The only way to prevent and control it in advance is to spray pesticides.
She has already ordered a batch of pesticides online and will deliver them to Fusu as soon as they arrive.
Prince Fusu had a general idea in his mind after reading the booklet, but there was one thing he still couldn't figure out.
The booklet talks about the various benefits of raising fish ponds, but in the Qin Dynasty the fish were allowed to grow wildly.
Those fish have many bones, are fishy and taste bad.
Generally, no one would eat fish. Only some nobles could eat specially processed fish without the fishy smell.
After Fusu told Li Rongrong this question, she remembered that there were no seasonings to remove fishy smells in the Qin Dynasty, so fish was basically not eaten.
Since fish was mentioned, she just ordered takeout.
I asked the delivery man to bring over a few servings of pickled fish.
The supermarket downstairs that her family owned sold condiments such as cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. She directly carried a few boxes up and delivered them to Fusu.
When she went to the supermarket downstairs, she also picked up a cart of snacks and sent it over.
She had long discovered that although Prince Fusu looked like a nobleman who was indifferent to worldly matters, he actually had a desire for food.
Every time she brought him food, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
And I will give her some small gifts in return.
Especially since he loved chocolate very much, she took a few more boxes this time.
＊
While she was preparing the little surprise, Prince Fusu had already started his daily work.
"Zhang Han, count the number of seeds and distribute them to the soldiers according to their different types."
Soldiers on the frontier not only had to build the Great Wall, but also had to do daily labor.
Of course, it’s not in vain, they are paid a lot.
"This bag is yours."
Prince Fusu personally took Zhang Han to distribute seeds in the military camp.
Soldiers who were not on duty or on patrol lined up to register and receive seeds.
Then different generals led the soldiers into teams to cultivate the fields.
With the new seeds, the soldiers were very happy. They gathered together and discussed excitedly:
"This winter we finally have seeds given by the immortals! After the winter harvest, we won't have to worry about not having enough food anymore!" a soldier said excitedly.
Another soldier continued, "Yes, we farmers rely on this little food all our lives. Now with this batch of new seeds, we can grow more food."
At this time, an older soldier interrupted and said, "I used to farm at home, but suddenly suffered a severe locust plague, resulting in a complete loss of crops. I had no choice but to abandon my wife and children and come to the border to seek a livelihood."
There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his eyes.
The other soldiers expressed their sympathy and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry. Now that we have the seeds given by the immortal and the protection of the immortal, we will never lack food in the future."
"And Prince Fusu and the general are here!"
The soldiers nodded in agreement.
They believed that as long as there were immortals, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
He was an immortal from heaven who had saved their lives more than once.
Moreover, they also have Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian. I believe that with them around, things will get better and better!
The soldier looked around and saw people supporting Prince Fusu. He felt nervous and clenched his fists secretly.
He still looked a little worried when he asked, "But aren't there still locust plagues?"
"I heard that Master Fusu has found a way to deal with the locusts!"
The older soldier could hardly believe his ears. "What? Can it really deal with locusts?"
He had lived a long life and had seen many locust plagues.
When the locust plague came, it was a black mass that covered the sky and the sun. No grass grew wherever it passed. We could only watch helplessly as the food was eaten up by the locusts.
Several people in their family also starved to death due to the locust plague.
"I believe in Master Fusu anyway!"
"Yeah, don't worry..."
Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, the soldier who had been looking worried just now quietly left the crowd.
He went to a dark place, wrote down everything that had happened recently on a piece of paper, and sent it out by carrier pigeon.
Prince Fusu's reputation in the border areas is getting better and better, and there are actually quite a few people who support the tyrannical Qin!
What if Prince Fusu returns to Xianyang City and conquers other people using the same method?
Of course, the Chu people would never succumb to the tyranny of Qin.
Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin.
This is their belief. Prince Fusu must not be allowed to have the chance to return to Xianyang City. It would be best if he died here!
*
Prince Fusu did not know that the remnants of the six kingdoms were already plotting against him.
Only after he had taken care of the logistical arrangements for winter planting did he have time to rest for a while.
At this time, as soon as he returned to the room, he received food sent by the immortal.
It is still the familiar transparent lunch box, and it contains rice.
In addition there was a large bag of stuff.
When immortals give things, they always give in large portions.
So, this bag is also for him?
Thinking about it, he flipped through it and instantly had an idea in his mind.
These were the snacks that the immortal had given them before, and there was obviously more chocolate.
Prince Fusu took out a wooden box, neatly put the chocolates given by the immortal into it, and put them away solemnly.
If Li Rongrong were here, she would definitely find that the box was filled with the notes she passed on, neatly stacked together.
After doing all this, Prince Fusu finally remembered the food in the lunch box.
When he opened the lunch box, an enticing aroma hit his nose, making him salivate.
It was a fish dish that was delicious in appearance, aroma and taste. In addition to the aroma of chili that he had seen in other dishes before, there seemed to be some special sour taste.
How is this fish cooked? It doesn’t smell fishy at all.
