After the greetings, Xu Guanzhong took the lead and said: "My lord, now there is a locust plague in Yanzhou, and the same is true for my Qingzhou, and a large number of locusts have been found in Beihai Country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and thought that the state shepherd should lead the people to govern it. Do not allow the plague of locusts to eat up the people's food. ”

Li Ru also nodded again and again, and said with a serious face: "There are many natural disasters, and the most serious ones are three, one is water; The second said: drought; Three: Locusts. We must pay attention to governance, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee military food, how can we talk about conquering the world? ”

Luo Gan also knew the severity of this locust plague, and he had experienced it once in the countryside when he was a child in his previous life. At that time, outside the field, the locusts were black and oppressive, as if covering the sky and the sun, and there were locusts as far as the eye could see, comparable to a sandstorm. The biggest harm of the locust plague is that the locust eats an astonishing amount of food, and all the crops in its pass are eaten up, leaving the people with no harvest.

couldn't help but ignore it, the state pastor also had to take action to organize the people to exterminate the locust plague, Luo Gan hurriedly asked: "Do the two of you have a good way to exterminate locusts?" ”

The two of them have been in Qingzhou for a while, and they have also discovered this sign, so they have naturally thought about this problem, and they were worried that Luo Gan was young and did not pay attention to the management of the locust plague. Now when he saw Luo Gan's question, he immediately responded.

Xu Guanzhong's dedication to the method of opening ditches to exterminate locusts is actually to organize manpower to exterminate locusts manually: "Let the people dig ditches and ditches in teams of ten people every ten people in the places where locusts are infested." Then let the people hold brooms and other objects to sweep the locusts into the ditch, bulldoze the earth and bury them. Then the locusts will die, and the people will be surrounded by swarms and exterminate the locusts. In addition, it allows the people to dig up the eggs of locusts and eradicate them. ”

After all, Xu Guanzhong has traveled a lot of places, and his knowledge is relatively wide, and he also understands civil affairs.

Xu Guanzhong wanted to launch a locust extermination through the government organization, but Li Ru added: "The people have a lot of resistance to government labor, although we are worried about the people. However, I am afraid that the people will not help. The people can be exchanged for one stone of grain from the government with ten stone locusts. This will inevitably lead the people to take the initiative to kill the locusts. In addition, the locusts can also be burned to death by fire. ”

Luo Gan nodded, remembering that when he was in the countryside in his previous life, the chickens and ducks raised at home liked to eat locusts very much, and he could encourage the people to raise more chickens and ducks.

"Wei Guoyuan, the school of diannong, was in charge of the locust eradication affairs, leading the county commanders and county officials of Qingzhou to launch the people under their rule to exterminate the locusts, and each county was either a county commander or a county commander to lead the team. In addition, Hua Rong was the captain of the locust extermination, Yang Chun and Chen Dazuozhi, and led 5,000 troops to inspect the counties of Qingzhou to eliminate the locust and eliminate the plague. According to the method of fire, the method of ditching and destroying locusts, the method of buying locusts, the method of excavating insect eggs, and the method of herding ducks to destroy locusts. In short, no matter what method is used, the locust plague must not affect the livelihood of the people. Luo Gan ordered directly.

"No!"

"It's the lord!"

The two received the order, and Xu Guanzhong hesitated a little and said: "What is the use of the official government buying locusts?" ”

The government spends money on grain to buy locusts, which seems to have no benefit, and it is a loss.

What are locusts used for?

Luo Gan's first thought was to eat!

In my previous life, I once ate a dish called "Feihuang Tengda", the name of the dish has a very good meaning, which is actually fried locusts. In some places, there are eighteen monsters, three grasshoppers and a dish.

Fried locusts or roasted locusts are most suitable.

Luo Gan touched his chin and said with a smile: "This locust is like the river shrimp, after being fried or grilled, it is a delicious dish." In addition, the dead locusts can be chopped up and fed to pigs, chickens and ducks, or burned to the fields. ”

Xu Guanzhong and Li Ru looked at each other, they had never eaten fried locusts, and they didn't expect this thing to be edible.

However, there are also folk rumors that locusts are flying shrimps, and where there is water, they are river shrimps, and after the rivers and lakes dry up, the river shrimps become flying locusts. This is why locust plagues are not likely to occur in areas where rivers are abundant, but locust plagues are often caused in arid places.

This is what the ancient folk thought, but in fact, the main reason is that the reproduction of locusts requires a certain temperature, and it is difficult for the eggs to develop if they are too wet.

"By the way, Guan Zhong will give you an order, let the superintendent Pei Xuan and Pang Wanchun lead two hundred sergeants to inspect the counties, if there is negligence, report to me, or be punished or exempted." Luo Gan was worried that the officials under him would not act, so he would arrange for Pei Xuan, the superintendent of the post, to inspect the place, and Pang Wanchun would lead the troops to escort him.

Xu Guanzhong clenched his fists, and secretly thought to himself that the lord had become more and more comprehensive in handling things.

Li Ru's eyes rolled, and he suggested: "Lord, this locust plague can be described as a natural disaster, if someone instigates it, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the lord." ”

This point must also be paid attention to, what are the common things in rebellions and uprisings in today's troubled times, and before doing things, we will also use the will of God. The spread of rumors, songs, and so on can easily stir up the people.

Usually when a strategist reminds the lord, there must be a certain way to deal with it, Luo Gan is not in a hurry to ask: "I don't know if Wen You has a clever plan?" ”

Li Ru hehe, twisted his beard lightly, and then spoke: "Guan Ning, Wang Xiu, Bing Yuan and others are all good at writing books and writing. And don't let them do some articles. It is said that the reason why this locust plague appeared in Qingzhou is that there are many rebels in Qingzhou, and there are many unfilial people among the people, or there are traitors and criminals, and villagers fight. It is a punishment from heaven. And the lord could not bear the punishment of the people, so he pleaded with the heavenly sacrifice. Heaven let the Lord lead the people to rid the plague of locusts. In the future, obey the orders of the state government and abide by the law, so that there will be no more disasters. ”

Luo Gan nodded, and he also understood what Li Ru meant, that is, he took action in advance, defined the locust plague as the people doing bad things, and used this way to guide the people to obey the law and not do bad things. At the same time, putting the blame on them is also to let them not rebel.

"Order the county lieutenants to pay attention to leading the troops to prevent them from committing disorder, and ask Guan Ning and others to write a message to the people." Luo Gan agreed with Li Ru's opinion.

After some discussion and Luo Gan's decision, this method of controlling the locust plague was released, and the specific implementation was carried out by Wei Guoyuan, who was in charge of the agricultural school, with Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, Chen Da, and Yang Chun assisting. At the same time, Luo Gan also asked Guoyuan to pay attention to the construction of water conservancy, strengthen irrigation capacity, and vigorously encourage the development of agriculture, but did not inhibit the development of commerce.

With the joint efforts of everyone, Qingzhou has been on the right track and developing for the better, and Luo Gan's strength is also on the rise.

After Li Ru left, Luo Gan left Xu Guanzhong and asked why all of a sudden those celebrities returned to Qingzhou to assist him?

Xu Guanzhong showed a smile and said: "This all depends on the merits of Wu Yong and Wu Pedantry. ”

didn't expect that there was something about Wu Yong in this, but Luo Cha raised his interest and asked, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

Xu Guanzhong's 1510 will Why Guan Ning and other celebrities came back to meet each other, it turned out that Luo Gan complained about the lack of duties in various counties, and there were too few ministers in his hands who could appoint, so he asked Wu Yong and Xu Guanzhong to pay attention to visiting talents in Qingzhou.

But after this understanding, it was discovered that many soldiers avoided chaos in Liaodong, and Wu Yong thought about it, preparing to bring these talented people who sheltered Liaodong back to Qingzhou. A certain country may seek the world, and Wu may not be able to do a good job. But someone, Wu Yong still has a hand. Although these people are celebrities, they are all targeted by Wu Yong.

As a result, Wu Yong used various means to finally invite Guan Ning and other celebrities back to Qingzhou.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Wu Xuexue sent people to Liaodong to separate from Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Yan Guan Ning and others lecturing is actually to recruit talents, which will threaten Gongsun Du's status. In sending some people to tell in front of Bingyuan and others how the lord wisely pacified Qingzhou, how he longed for talents to vote. In this way, those celebrities will return to Qingzhou. ”

Luo Ganhu glanced at Xu Guanzhong suspiciously, that's all? I'm afraid Wu Yong also used other means, right? Did Xu Guanzhong miss something?

But forget it, anyway, Guan Ning is here, and he has no hostility towards himself, so why care about how they came. In fact, Guan Ning's five people can contribute to Luo Gan, mainly because they are from Qingzhou and return to their hometown.
