Protect Our Patriarch Chapter 12

　　 Fenggu Farm alone has so many fertile fields, and there are two hundred tenant farmers?

　　Wang Shouzhe looked at the fields crisscrossing the fields, and there were ditches of different sizes intertwined in it, and he was a little emotional. This is the family heritage that has been passed down for a century.

"Our Fenggu Farm uses the traditional winter wheat and summer grain rotation. It is now the busy season for winter wheat to mature and summer valley seedling cultivation." Wang Shounuo said with some joy on his face, "this spring is full of rain. Flooding, the sun is strong and not scorching, it is very beneficial to the growth of winter wheat, it looks like it will be a bumper season."

　　 At this time, even Wang Shouzhe is a little bit happy. There is a big difference between high grain yield and poor harvest. More grain harvest means more development funds for the family.

　　 "It's not right, right." Wang Luojing, who is like a little stalker, said with a pouting mouth, "Brother Brother, you are wrong, you will have to fail this year's winter wheat."

What?

Wang Shounuo's smiling face suddenly stiffened, and he said sharply: "Luo Jing, you can't talk nonsense in your little girl's film. Even grandpa and some experienced tenant farmers say that this year will be a bumper harvest nine times out of ten. You are young, What do you know? If grandpa listens to your curse and apologize like this, I am afraid you will be blamed again."

　　 Being so scared by him, Wang Luojing immediately hid behind Wang Shouzhe.

　　 "The third brother, the fifth sister is still young, Tong Yan Wuji, what do you care about with her?" Wang Shouzhe smiled and touched her head twice and soothed.

"Fourth brother, you don't know something." Wang Shounuo smiled helplessly, "Don't you know, our five sisters are young, but they are very strange. I like to play with all kinds of bugs all day long. When I was two or three years old, I squatted in the yard and watched ants for a few days. Some time ago, I asked me to help her catch some grass or insect king. I grabbed two~ the ones bitten by mosquitoes are covered with bags."

"It's the Lacefly Insect King. There is a record in the ancient book of Insect Sutra." Wang Luojing poked out half of his head from behind Wang Shouzhe, and seriously corrected Wang Shounuo. "Brother, you are too shameful, and his handsome head is empty. Empty. Although the Xuanwu family established its family by martial arts, its culture and knowledge are also the foundation of a family heritage."

　　 Especially in the second half of the sentence, that is to learn from Wang Shouzhe's reprimand to bury Wang Shounuo.

　　 No, Wang Shounuo's face turned black, and he had to say in shock, "Yes, yes, I have no knowledge. Next time you ask me again, I won't help you catch bugs."

　　 "I ask the fourth brother to help, the fourth brother is 10,000 times more powerful than you." Wang Luojing pulled Wang Shouzhe's shirt as if he had found a backer, full of confidence.

　　 This made Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was a little strange, but he was restrained in front of him. Wang Shounuo was so angry that he almost fainted.

　　 "Alright, Luo Jing, tell me, if the weather is so good this year, you will have to apologize?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

　　 With Wang Shouzhe's backing, Wang Luojing's courage has strengthened a lot: "Last year, the winter was too warm, and only a small snowfall."

　　 Wang Shounuo rolled his eyes immediately: "Although Ruixue is a good year, it is just a statement. If it doesn't snow, it will be a poor harvest this year?"

　　 "It's not the same." Wang Luojing said very seriously, "It was a warm winter last year, and the rain this spring was really good. But it has not rained for more than ten days recently, and the weather is dry and hot."

　　 "Luojing." Wang Shounuo said disapprovingly, "We have opened the gate to release water at the Fenggu tributary. Winter wheat will not be short of water. And good sunlight will help the wheat grains grow full."

　　 "It can also help honey bugs grow." Wang Luojing rolled his eyes.

　　 Honey bug?

Wang Shounuo shivered spiritually, and hesitated: "Honey bugs are inevitable. Honey bugs will appear every year, and it is normal to cause some production reductions...not to mention, we also put them in the farmland last winter. The insects are scattered."

　　 But when he said this, his confidence was a little lacking. Honey bugs are natural enemies of winter wheat. A small-scale outbreak is fine, at most it is a reduction in food production, if it is a large-scale outbreak, it will be a disaster.

According to Wang's records, the worst was the honey bug disaster 73 years ago. The disaster spread throughout Longzuo County. The winter wheat production was reduced by 80% during the year, and the price of food soared in a short period of time. Some families could still rely on food storage. maintain. But many freed people with weak assets are miserable, and there are too many selling children and girls.

　　 What is even more terrifying is that the insect plague lasted for the third year, and even some families could not carry it. If it weren't for the Zifu Academy's move, a large amount of grain was transferred to Longzuo County, and a large amount of ancient prescription insecticide powder was refined. I am afraid that the entire Longzuo County will be starved for thousands of miles and will be deserted.

　　 For a while, Wang Shouzhe frowned: "Luojing, can you prove what you said?"

　　 Fenggu Farm and Xingsheng Farm are Wang's two major grain production bases. If there is a real outbreak of aphids, it will be even worse for the Wang family today.

　　 "Brother, you can check a few more grain-filled wheat ears and try." Wang Luojing's expression was also a little solemn.

　　Wang Shounuo was a little nervous when he was said to be so nervous, he walked to the field, and casually grabbed a wheat ear and turned it over, only to see a little green dot on the wheat ear that had just begun to fill.

　　 I turned a few wheat ears one after another, some were more and some were less, but there was no doubt that they were all honey bugs.

　　Wang Shouzhe is at the sixth-floor of the Qi Refining Realm. His physical fitness and eyesight are far beyond those of ordinary people. When he glanced at it, he found that the green dots were all plump bugs. He was slightly surprised. Isn't it an aphid?

　　 For this knowledge, Wang Shouzhe accumulated very little, and he could barely guess that it was some kind of aphid. He is not interested in agriculture, and those apps with powerful algorithms will naturally not push this piece of content.

"This year there are indeed more honey bugs than in previous years." Wang Shounuo said with suspicion, "but it doesn't mean that there will be insects? It can be cured by mixing plant ash with a little bit of insecticide. At most, it is slightly lower than last year. ."

"Brother!" Wang Luo said quietly, "I have said that there is a big problem with the climate. There are too many old-year-old eggs left in the soil. It may be as short as the day after tomorrow, or as late as three or four days. A large number of honey bugs will break the soil. However, after seven or eight days, the second wave will most likely erupt."

　　 "You guys, come here." Wang Shouzhe said to the tenant farmers who were working not far away, "Pull out this little piece of wheat, and the soil will be opened."

　　 "This...Master Shounuo..." The tenant farmers shrank their heads and looked at Wang Shounuo suspiciously, not daring, and a little reluctant to do it. These wheat can be harvested in ten days or so, and they are all white grains.

　　 "Listen to the patriarch." Wang Shounuo didn't dare to offend Wang Shouzhe, and he personally pulled out the wheat.

　　 Several tenant farmers also carried their hoes and began to dig the soil.

　　 After a short while, that little piece of wheat was pulled out, and the land was turned over.

　　 "This..." Wang Shounuo carefully inspected the roots of the wheat that had been pulled out, his face gradually became so serious that he was shocked, "How could this be, how could this be?"

　　 There are many white spots on those roots, which is shocking. And most of the wheat roots are found on the roots, but the number is large or small.

　　 There are also those opened soil. If you look carefully, you will find that there are a lot of white fine spots.

　　 Wang Shounuo "cocked" in his heart, and an ominous premonition sprang up: "Quickly, go and call Grandpa over."

　　 "Quickly, notify grandpa, and notify all tenant farmers to quickly soak the accumulated vegetation ash." Wang Shounuo followed his grandpa to learn agronomy for two years, and he has some basic skills.

　　The tenant farmers began to get busy.

In a short while, the four old ladies, Wang Xiaozhi, had already come to meet, his face was embarrassed to the extreme: "How can it be so, how can there be so many honey insect eggs growing out of the land? After the autumn harvest last year, it was clearly the same as usual. After the world has been ploughed deeply, the insecticides are scattered. Is there a problem with the insecticides?"

　　 "Grandpa, last year was a warm winter..." Wang Luojing reminded me cautiously from the side.

"Little girl film, grandpa has been farming for a lifetime. Can you understand?" Wang Xiaozhi resented as if he had been stepped on his tail. "Ten years ago was a warm winter, and the climate is exactly the same as this year. As a result, Longzuo was rich in yield and full of grain From my point of view, the problem lies in the extermination powder. The **** Qian's firm must sell fake extermination powder, so I even took advantage of the low price to stock up a large amount of extermination powder!"

As they said something to me, Wang Shouzhe also remembered some scattered knowledge, and couldn't help but frown: "The Qian's trading houses are scattered all over Longzuo, and they have always paid attention to goodwill. For example, the sale of fake insecticides has led to insects in Longzuo. I'm afraid I can't bear such a consequence. Will there be such a possibility, aphids, no, some highly resistant honey worms survived in the fight against Michusan again and again, and gradually formed a large area Resistance?"

　　 Although Wang Shouzhe in his last life did not touch agriculture, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also knows that both bacteria, viruses and organisms will continue to undergo genetic mutation evolution. This evolution is almost irregular, but most of them will be eliminated by nature.

　　 It is reasonable that some honey bugs that have evolved towards drug resistance have survived the confrontation with Michongsan again and again, and gradually multiply.

　　 But Wang Xiaozhi couldn't understand what is biological evolution at all, but frowned and said, “Shouzhe, don't talk nonsense here. The previous exterminators have been used well. Why doesn't it work this year?”

"Grandpa, I think what Brother Four said makes sense." Wang Luojing said, "Grandpa, you forgot. Over the past few years, you have been listening to your complaints. It seems that Exterminator is becoming more and more useless. How come there are honey bugs every year? "

　　 Wang Xiaozhi's face became stiff, and his face became more and more ugly. In recent years, especially since the harvest ten years ago, there has been a gradual increase in honey bugs, but because the overall situation is still within the tolerable range, it is just annoying.

　　 Wang Shouzhe is almost certain that this is because the aphids with strong resistance have multiplied and spread. The warm winter of the previous season also allowed most of the eggs to survive. Coupled with this year's climate suitable for the growth of aphids, this scene happened.

　　 This wave of troubles is huge. It is Wang Shouzhe who can't help his scalp numb. He doesn't have the ability to make new "pesticide"...

　　 It is the leak of the house that rains every night! Under this disaster, Wang's life will be more difficult, right?

　　 "Four brothers." Wang Luojing took Wang Shouzhe aside, she whispered, "I have a way to solve the honey bug, but I am afraid of grandpa, so I dare not say it!"

what?

　　 Wang Shouzhe was taken aback and looked at her in disbelief.
