Hearing Bi Gou's words, Li Yi smiled.

"Old Bi, you really have a lot of trouble. The thing is, it's really difficult for people who die from drought and locust plagues to continue to be together in the next life, and if they want to live a good life..."

"Are you here because of the locust plague?" Before Li Yi could finish speaking, Bi Gou stared at him and asked.

"No, I'm looking for a new way to get rich for everyone." Li Yi said as if you have to believe me, he drank all the wine in the small cup in one gulp.

When Bi Gou finished his drink, Li Yi lowered his voice: "Old Bi, I will collect a pound of grasshoppers and give you an egg. How many eggs can a chicken lay after eating a pound of grasshoppers?"

"How many?" Bi Gou didn't understand this, and was attracted, so he lowered his voice and asked.

"Four." Li Yi pointed out four fingers.

He didn't mention the need to feed chaff. If a chicken eats a pound of meat, it won't be able to lay a pound of eggs.

And it doesn’t mean that after eating, you will continue to lay eggs and gain weight.

You need to do more in publicity, otherwise others won't cooperate.

"You made three eggs? How can you be so business-minded..." Bi Gou was unhappy.

"I'll give you two kilograms of grasshoppers, you give me an egg, and I'll let you earn seven." Li Yi retorted.

"I don't raise chickens." Bi thought about it and found that it was difficult.

"When you are the governor of Henan, why do you get so much more salary than someone who works hard all day long?" Li Yi changed the question.

"How can that be compared? I...I...the things I manage can benefit many people."

Bi Gou paused and paused, and finally gave a reason.

"I harvest grasshoppers to feed chickens and eggs, which also benefits many people. Why can't I make more?" Li Yi reasoned.

"It's just that you make too much, so you should give some profits to...what about the duck? How many eggs can a duck lay by eating a pound of grasshoppers?"

Bi wanted to talk about sharing the profits with others, but he was afraid that Li Yi would ask why he didn't give his salary to others, so he had to say "duck".

"Three, that's about the same. Even though ducks usually lay fewer eggs than chickens, that's because the food they eat is not good.

If they eat too many bugs, chickens and ducks will grow bigger, and their eggs will become bigger. The chicks and ducks hatched from bigger eggs will be bigger.

So if you buy chickens and ducks from me, you will make a profit at the same price.

Lao Bi, go back and put up a notice, saying that there will be a large number of chickens and ducks here after twenty years of age and around thirty years of age."

Li Yi said to Bi Gou.

Bi Gou kept nodding his head at first, but when the last sentence came out, he took a deep breath: "You want to make another amount of money."

"What's the point of making money? If I make money, can't I raise it myself? I'll sell it to others for money. Others will catch the grasshoppers, chop them up and feed them to the chickens, and the chickens will grow taller and longer.

When they grow up, they can lay eggs again, hatch chicks, and raise more and more chickens. They eat chicken every day until the eggs taste boring."

Li Yi gestured to introduce the endless cycle of chickens laying eggs and eggs laying chickens.

"What should we do if there are no more grasshoppers?" Bi Gou thought it made sense, but was worried about the problem of food.

"The absence of grasshoppers means that the locust plague is over. It's OK. If the chickens and ducks are willing to keep them, they can continue to feed them other feeds. If they don't want to keep them, they can be sold."

Li Yi spread his hands and looked, what a great thing.

"So you still came here because of the locust plague." Bi Gou felt that the matter was serious and did not run away.

"Eat the vegetables. If you don't eat the vegetables, they will be cold. If you reheat the pot, the green onions will not taste good." Li Yi fried the green onions in the mutton with a piece of green onion.

Bi Gou then ate a piece of meat and swallowed it: "You conclude that there must be a locust plague this year?"

"No, I didn't. It wasn't me. I didn't say anything. I came here to raise chickens, ducks, and piglets." Li Yi shook his head and refused to admit anything he said.

"You just..."

"Yes, Lao Bi, you reminded me. I forgot something. The chicken eggs and duck eggs that I exchanged for usually cannot hatch chicks or ducks.

In addition, in a few days, there will be a batch of eggs and duck eggs that are definitely not grown enough to be sold. We...forget it, let's ask someone to sell them, because we are afraid that if you sell them without cooking them, you will get into trouble."

What Li Yi talked about later was taking pictures of eggs. The first time he took pictures was to see if they were fertilized, he did not take them away directly.

The second photo shows that there is no problem. If there is a problem, it should be cooked and sold, or roasted, steamed, or stir-fried.

The eggs that do not come out of the shell after that are pure eggs, so you have to select them and eat them anyway.

As long as the cooking time is long, especially if the steaming temperature is high, the bacteria inside will be killed.

He was worried about giving it to others, especially small vendors. He would take a bunch of it and not refrigerate it. If it was kept for a long time, other people would get sick after eating it.

"Can't you do anything?" Bi Gou became more and more curious about Li Yishi.

"I sell it on the same day as I sell it. I can only eat it on the spot and not take it away. I can't sell it all, so I have hired workers to cook it for them and the people in my village."

Li Yi came up with a very simple way. I have many people and I can handle it myself.

Bi Gou remained silent for a while, drank soup, ate vegetables, drank three cups of wine, and put down his chopsticks.

"Who came up with the idea? There is definitely a locust plague? People are afraid of the locust plague, thinking it is the power of God.

Someone from Chang'an must have traveled quickly to spread the story of this life and the next life, using the plan of reincarnation to defeat the power of heaven.

If you come here again and don't talk about the locust plague, but only talk about the benefits of raising chickens and ducks, the people will be tempted. What happens next?"

Bi Gou just thought about it while eating and drinking, and finally figured it out, one step after another, with a clear purpose.

Li Yi took a sip of soup and put down his chopsticks.

"At this time last year, we saw so many grasshoppers? Look at the color of the grasshoppers. Will they be so dark?

The drought has already appeared, but there are many wheat crops in the east of the Taihang Mountains, so the people are still happy.

Later, some people will spread the word that locusts are natural creatures, and chickens and ducks are not human beings. If chickens, ducks, and pigs eat locusts, the power of God will not fall on humans."

Li Yi gave the answer, all the people needed was an excuse.

Once you have the benefits and a reason to believe in it, you will be able to stand aside regardless of the power of God.

"It's a good plan. Did the palace take action?" Bi Gou understood that the matter was doomed. We must start to suppress it this year. By next year, there will probably be a lot of chickens and ducks.

He had never seen the palace push forward a certain issue with such great fanfare and far-reaching calculations.

Li Yi picked up the chopsticks again and took a bite of kimchi. It was delicious.

The method of making kimchi in Shu is very different from the method of making kimchi (spicy cabbage) in Bangzi. The taste and texture are different.

"In a few days, well-drilling teams led by the Ministry of Industry will go to various places, and the craftsmen here in Luoyang will be able to help."

Li Yi didn't answer what was going on behind the scenes, but talked about another situation, that drought meant drilling a well.

Even though there are many rivers in Luoyang, there is still drought when there should be drought.

"But the drilling technique of drilling instead of digging?" Bi Gou recently heard someone say that Chang'an has developed a new technology.

The best technology is to dig salt wells in Sichuan, but I have never seen it, and the person who said it can't understand it.

"Yeah!" Li Yi responded with food in his mouth.

"I heard that a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl can penetrate a hundred feet deep?" Bi Gou was curious.

"Yes!" Li Yi nodded.

"How to take out the soil?" Bi Hua thought of what many people were wondering about.

"Lao Bi, let me tell you something. First of all, this round pipe has a cutting edge underneath, with bulges and recesses. It grinds away the soil as it turns..."

Li Yi said a few words and took a bite, while Bi Gou also listened and ate and drank.

When he was done eating, Li Yi finished explaining the complete set of drilling techniques.

Bi Gou held the wine cup: "You know this in detail."
