Toads can prey on 167 locusts every day. It is common knowledge that birds eat insects in nature.
In ancient China, birds ate locusts very early. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, tens of millions of white birds ate locusts and ate all the crops in one night.
"is there any other law to control locust plague?"
"This ….." The ministers looked at each other and looked after each other.
At this time, Ran Min’s mind flashed and suddenly remembered his past life watching a news report on the TV.
Somalia has experienced the worst locust plague in 25 years, and locusts have swept grassland and farmland.
Local farmers turned to the international community for help, saying that their families were running out of food.
The destruction of seven hectares of farmland in Ethiopia, a neighboring country of Somalia, is getting worse. FAO says that a swarm of locusts can destroy an average of 25 people’s annual agricultural output.
Another way to deal with it is that in central Somalia, residents have eaten locusts. After frying locusts, residents eat rice and noodles together.
So can locusts eat?
Locusts are certainly edible!
In the past, when Ran Min traveled in the north, he found that many places had locust main ingredients and specialties.
Ran Min ate roasted locusts when he was a child. Although he still felt scared when he looked at the locusts, it tasted good.
Locust meat is tender and tastes good, and its fat and cholesterol content is very low. protein is abundant. In addition, locusts also contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, manganese, vitamins A and B.

Chapter 475 The locust plague
Chapter 476 Draft
Can Ge Aiqing’s locusts eat? "
Ran Min immediately asked Ge Hong, the doctor who cured too much.
"Locusts are edible" Ge Hong, an old god, said that eating locusts not only can be eaten, but also has certain medicinal value. Eating locusts can treat cough, inflammation, spasm and so on. Some ancient prescriptions say that eating locusts’ shells can activate cells, delay aging and excrete toxins, which has extraordinary effects on the human body!
These are amazing! Without scientific research results, they are still inaccurate!
Ahem Ran Min nodded some guilty.
All the ministers were amazed at the statement that locusts can not only eat but also have medicinal value.
Qin Mu chuckled and Ran Min Ge Hong sang a duet between the monarch and his subjects.
Ge Hong added, "It is no problem for locusts to eat, but attention should also be paid to the fact that some people may be allergic to locusts. Besides, locusts carry a lot of parasites and must be treated at high temperature before eating."
"For locusts, the treatment process is to catch them for 23 hours and let them defecate in boiling water for 3 minutes until the locusts turn brown, roast, fry and fry before eating."
"The law of goodness should be remembered first and then promulgated by the country."
At this time, Qin Mu couldn’t help but come out. "I have a puzzle."
"Say"
"In fact, many people have eaten locusts, but the disaster areas are different. Since the people are plagued by locusts and lack of food, why not eat locusts?"
Yes, there is not enough food. Why don’t ordinary people catch locusts to eat?
Qin Mu added, "When there is a locust plague, there are dozens or millions of locusts crossing the border. They can sweep all crops in a day or two. Without crops, there will be no rations. Then why don’t people eat locusts? They are absolutely delicious for hungry victims. In this case, why don’t victims eat locusts?"
"In fact, it’s not that they don’t eat and there are no locusts for them to eat!"
This Ran Min is a little puzzled.
"There are millions of locusts in Qin Mu, and there are no locusts for the people to eat?"
"I don’t know if the locusts will go to places with food. If there is no food in this place, they will fly away! And how can people with surplus grain kill these locusts? "
Well, this seems to be such a truth!
People often ignore the problem of time difference. Locusts will go to places with food. Since there is food, farmers must have enough time to eat rations at home, that is, there will be no famine. When locusts finish eating crops and fly away, farmers will still have food to eat, so they will not catch locusts.
When the food runs out and there is a famine, the locusts have already flown away and they will not come back, because there is nothing to eat here, which is why people don’t catch locusts after the locust plague.
One more thing, it’s good if you really don’t collapse in the swarms of locusts all over the sky, and you still have the heart to catch locusts.
Ran Min has returned to absolute being and said, "In this case, the imperial court should offer a reward to the people, just as the Han people can get a reward for killing a conference semifinals in the past, and the theory of killing locusts can also get a certain reward! This will definitely put an end to the plague of locusts! "
I heard that all the ministers said yes, but Qin Mu had different opinions. "Actually, you don’t have to ask the court to reward you. Although the court has money, you can’t spend it in such a place!"
"Qin Mu, do you have a plan?"
"The pursuit of locust control is like Ge Hong’s adult just said that it is very good! Locusts have medicinal value. Eating locusts can treat cough, inflammation, spasm, etc. Eating locusts can activate cells, delay aging and excrete toxins, which has extraordinary effects on human body! If such news were known to the world, wouldn’t the world compete to kill locusts and spend a lot of money to buy locusts? "
Ran Min suddenly realized!
Qin Mu, I don’t know how long this brain is. I can think of such a way!
