Xu Miao surrendered, everything was easy to do, Liu Chan dispatched the generals, and brought Xu Miao's letters to the generals everywhere, but in a month, all parts of Liangzhou were pacified.

Yuzhong County Government Office.

Xu Miao handed Liu Chan a copy of the notebook and said, "Your Majesty, these are the lists of Liangzhou Junjie, which can be reused." ”

Liu Chan opened the list and looked at it, then closed the fold, and asked Xu Miao: "Among the lists, most of them are living people, why don't you see those famous officials in Liangzhou?" ”

Xu Miao arched his hand and replied: "Although the former Liangzhou Assassin Zhang Derong is a Assassin History, he put down the Liangzhou rebellion and made great achievements, so it is more appropriate to call him a general."

Now the famous officials in Liangzhou, serving as Taishou, county Cheng and other officials, most of them are generals under his command back then, and many of them are rebel leaders, and they are more gangster.

When quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, they could be used, but now that Liangzhou is governed, these people cannot be reused, and only when Zhang Ji is there can he suppress them, but despite this, there are still many problems in governing the place.

Weichen has been in Liangzhou for less than a year, and it is too late to replace officials, but the people on this roster are all Weichen who want to be reused and promoted in this year, which is beneficial to the governance of Liangzhou. ”

Liu Chan nodded: "Just follow the promotion on this list." ”

Seeing this, His Royal Highness Wei Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Not suitable, right? ”

"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, since I asked Jingshan to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou, the officials he recommended can naturally be trusted." Liu Chan waved his hand, and then said to Xu Miao: "Go down and do it, let these officials perform their duties as soon as possible, and implement your policies by yourself, you don't have to come to me for advice on everything." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Miao bowed solemnly to Liu Chan, and then bowed back.

Looking at Xu Miao's departing back, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, just now, Xu Miao's loyalty reached ninety, although it was not a diehard, but it also reached the point of being convinced.

Although the land west of Liupan Mountain has been completely pacified, Liu Chan still can't leave Yongliang and return to Yizhou, because Cao Pi is still attacking Anding County at this moment.

In terms of retreating 10,000, even if Cao Pi did not attack and settle down, Liu Chan would not be able to go back in a short time, because Yongliang had not completely calmed down. Even if you leave Yongliang, you will go to Hanzhong to prevent accidents in Yongliang, after all, the territory you have won with great difficulty cannot be lost.

Not long after Xu Miao left, Pang Tong walked in and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, Da Sima sent a message, Cao Pi's reinforcements have arrived in stability, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is very urgent to attack my camp. ”

"With Da Sima personally sitting in Longyou, I can rest assured." Liu Chan nodded and said to Pang Tong: "However, although Da Sima personally led the troops to sit in the town and settle down, the troops are still too small, and I now have 30,000 soldiers and horses here, so let Lin Xiao bring 10,000 foot soldiers to help."

By the way, Da Sima left Tianshui and went to the front line, and there was no one in the counties of Longyou to coordinate the overall situation, did Da Sima explain anything? ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "No." ”

Liu Chan pondered and ordered: "In this way, transfer Jiang Wan, the Taishou of Hanzhong, to Longyou as the assassin of Yongzhou, manage the government affairs of the five counties of Longyou, and promote Hanzhong Bei Chengji to be the Taishou of Hanzhong."

By the way, after Jiang Wan took office, he first built a road from Wudu to Tianshui, and dug cellars in the place to transport and store sweet potato seeds.

In mobilizing the people, more fields should be cultivated, even if the fields are not planted now, it is best to renovate them, and the places where the ground is low and the land is dry, either renovate or plant more trees, so that the chickens and ducks raised at home and the people will drive all the poultry to the ground. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he was immediately stunned: "Your Majesty, large-scale planting of corn and sweet potatoes is due, so the fields must be cultivated." But now that it's winter, why should the existing fields be renovated? Can't you wait for the spring to open up? And why do you want to drive the chickens and ducks into the fields? ”

Liu Chan said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is to prevent locust plagues. ”

"A plague of locusts?" Pang Tong exclaimed when he heard this.

The locust plague was one of the greatest natural disasters in ancient times, and it was as terrifying as droughts and floods.

When the drought comes, the crops will not be irrigated, and when the flood comes, there will be no ocean, and when the locust plague comes, there will be no grass wherever the locusts go.

Drought, floods, and locust plagues are the three major disasters that pose the greatest threat to the people, as for others, such as earthquakes, plagues, and mudslides, although they are terrifying, they are rare, while locust plagues, floods, and droughts basically occur every year, and the scale is huge.

Every time it appears, it threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands, millions of people.

Among the three of drought, floods, and locust plagues, the locust plague is the most terrifying.

In case of drought, if it does not rain, you can dig ditches and irrigate artificially, and in case of floods, you can rest the river and divert it into the sea to prevent it in advance.

The locust plague cannot be prevented, as soon as the locusts arrive, they cover the sky and the sun, and there is no grass in the place they go, how to kill it? How to extinguish?

Now Liu Chan actually said that there is a way to prevent locust plagues, which surprised Pang Tong.

At present, the territory occupied by Liu Chan is Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, and there is no locust plague, because these places are located in the south, with mountains and rivers, and the climate is humid, and locusts like dry places, and they also choose dry and bare soil for spawning, so there is no soil for locust breeding in Jing, Yi, Jiaozhou and other places occupied by Liu Chan.

The north is different, the north is a plain area, the water system is not developed, basically there are locusts every year, especially in the cool place, the people of Guanzhong are suffering from locusts, the people of Guanzhong have dropped from six million to less than 500,000 in recent years, in addition to the military disaster, the locust plague has the greatest impact.

Liu Chan currently occupies the land west of Liupan Mountain, which is also the hardest hit area of locusts, and if he wants to control the Yongliang land, solving the locusts is the primary problem.

Otherwise, there are high-yield crops with sweet potatoes and corn, and if you don't solve the locust plague, you can also make your grains unharvested.

Seeing the puzzled look on Pang Tongyi's face, Liu Chan remembered that during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no systematic strategy to deal with locusts.

Liu Chan looked at Pang Tong and said, "Take a note." ”

Pang Tong didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly sat down, picked up his pen and waited for Liu Chan to speak.

Liu Chan groaned and said: "The plague of locusts is not unsolvable, but once the locusts come out, they cannot be eliminated, so they can only be solved and killed before the locusts are not a disaster."

If you want to solve the locust plague, you must first understand the habits of locusts, locusts like dryness, so when locusts appear, they are often accompanied by drought, and their eggs are mostly laid on dry, bare ground. ”

Pang Tong nodded again and again when he heard this: "I see, no wonder there is a locust plague every year in drought, it turns out that this is the truth, but Your Majesty, what does this spawning mean?" ”

Liu Chan coughed dryly: "Ahem, it's to give birth to a child." ”

"Got it!" Pang Tong nodded and hurriedly recorded it.

Solving the problem of locusts is an issue related to the survival of the people in the world, and Pang Tong does not dare not care about it.

Liu Chan also said: "Locusts like dryness, so there are locust plagues in the north every year, while in the south, such as Jingzhou and Yizhou, there have been no locust plagues, so the first way to solve the locust plague is to build water conservancy. ”
