Chapter 315

In Pengcheng state, Wang Lang, the prime minister, was very busy because thousands of acres of fertile farmland had been destroyed by locusts.

"After the locust disaster, there is no harvest."

Wang Lang got down from the carriage and came to the village attacked by locusts. He was almost barren and startled.

Wang Lang discovered the locust disaster in a relatively timely manner. Otherwise, more farmland in Pengcheng parliament would be destroyed, and the locust plague would spread rapidly to Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Mi Fang and Yin lier will follow Wang lang. they can't help but feel numb when they see the horror of the locust plague.

The plague of locusts is even worse than drought and flood.

A small official reported: "Pengcheng villagers have rumors, this is the state shepherd offended heaven, so the locust disaster is the punishment of penance to Pengcheng state."

Mi Fang mentioned the petty official with one hand and exclaimed, "bullshit, how could you offend God if you are so wise and powerful and famous all over the world?"

"My Lord, this is not what the villain said..."

Mi Fang then put the petty official down: "catch all the people who make rumors, and hit at least 30 big boards."

In MI Fang's mind, Chutian is his brother and idol. If it wasn't Chu Tian, MI Fang would not have been an official in Zhonglang.

In a short period of one year, MI Fang went from Duwei to Xiaowei, then to Zhonglang general, and may become an official general in the future. He was grateful to Chutian nature and tried to protect it. It's like someone insulting their idol. How can you just stand by.

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made one. The urgent task is to put out the plague of locusts as soon as possible and open a warehouse to relieve the people. "

Wang Lang is not a nerd. He knows that locust plague has nothing to do with ghosts and gods.

Because of the panic of the people.

For the local people, locust disaster is a disaster from heaven. For alien players, most players don't care because they don't know how much damage locusts can do to agriculture.

If there is a big locust disaster in Xuzhou, the price of grain will rise several times, or even dozens of times. It will take Xuzhou many years to recover.

Food is the most important material in the troubled times, and its importance is above gold.

In order to cope with the natural disasters that may affect the whole of Xuzhou, Chu Tian led Langya Xiang xialiang, xiapi Xiang Li Yi and others to Pengcheng state to try to eliminate the plague of locusts.

"Go to its moth, and its vermin, do no harm to my Tianzhi. Tianzu had a God and gave him the fire. "

Summer cool light read a poem, so that the Chutian side of the eye.

"From where?"

"The book of songs. Our ancestors have already taken measures to eliminate insects with fire

"What's the principle?"

"Locusts, like moths, put out fires at night. Fire can be set in the night, while digging pits, burning and burying. Although it may not be possible to completely eliminate the plague of locusts, it can also prevent great hunger. "

Li Zhen had great experience in agriculture and had experience in controlling locust disaster.

"All counties of Pengcheng state were arranged to immediately put out the locusts and use fire attacks. Those who put out more locusts can get more relief food from the government. "

On the basis of fire attack, Chu Tian carried out the system of "work for relief".

The more locusts were killed in the affected villages, the more grain the government distributed for disaster relief, so as not to get something without work.

Disaster relief is a must, otherwise Pengcheng parliament farmers uprising, so that the surrounding strong enemies have the opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

Because of the locust disaster, almost all the grain stored in Pengcheng state granary will be taken out for disaster relief, and this year's grain harvest will also be affected.

"The damage caused by a plague of locusts is probably greater than that caused by the last expedition..."

Chutian suffered a large-scale natural disaster for the first time.

Summer cool added: "although a locust was caught, but in the twinkling of an eye they gave birth to a hundred locusts. Villagers should be ordered to search for places where locusts lay eggs and pour herbal juice to kill the eggs. We can also encourage villages to raise a large number of chickens, ducks, birds and other biological pest control, one chicken can eat a hundred locusts

"Exactly."

Chu Tian arranged one by one to control the plague of locusts mainly by killing locusts and eradicating their eggs.

In Lord, natural disasters are not rare, such as locusts, droughts, floods and even earthquakes.

It was the first time that Chu Tian encountered a plague of locusts that affected a prefecture.

"Langya has a large number of special buildings and special talents, which can improve the blessing value of the territory. Before, I thought the blessing value had no effect, but now it seems that I underestimated the effect of blessing value."

Chu Tian did not attach importance to this hidden feature. In fact, because the blessing value of Langya is very high, there has been no great disaster.

In contrast, the Lords of Pengcheng state generally built Pengcheng state, and there was a probability of locust disaster.

"every county can build some buildings that are originally unnecessary, such as Town God's Temple."

After weighing the cost of special buildings and the losses caused by locust plague, Chu Tian decided to build a number of buildings that could improve the blessing value of each prefecture and reduce the probability of natural disasters.The loss caused by the locust plague to Pengcheng can be used to build hundreds of Town God's Temple.

Wang Lang, MI Fang, Yin Li and others came back from the village and reported the disaster situation to Chutian.

Wang Lang also mentioned to Chu Tian what Hou Jing had done in Pengcheng state: "Pengcheng state organized villagers to dig and kill insect eggs over the years, but Hou Jing of Shouchun city destroyed many villages and towns before leaving Pengcheng state, resulting in land waste, which may be one of the causes of this locust disaster."

"Hou Jing, I will kill it."

Before that, Chu Tian had learned that Hou Jing's soldiers were burning, killing and looting in Pengcheng state, affecting 200000 civilians.

If Hou Jing's rebellion indirectly caused the locust plague, then his damage to Chu Tian's forces would be even greater.

"The army was ordered to go southward to Pengcheng to take part in the capture and killing of locusts, and at the same time to guard against the surrounding princes, so as to prevent them from attacking Pengcheng during the outbreak of locust plague."

Chu Tian was not only worried about the locust plague, but also the princes peeping around him.

"The outbreak of locusts in Xuzhou is really a mixed blessing."

When Cao Cao learned that there was a plague of locusts in Pengcheng, he did not dare to act rashly.

If the plague of locusts in Pengcheng could not be controlled because of the war, once it spread to Yanzhou, Cao Cao would not be better off.

In the best case, the locust plague only affected Xuzhou. But locusts are out of control.

Xunzi was in charge of the internal affairs and worried that the locust plague would spread to Yanzhou, so he dissuaded Cao Cao from taking risks to attack Pengcheng. Otherwise, it will not only kill tens of thousands of people in war, but also starve hundreds of thousands of people.

Cao Cao weighed the pros and cons and finally gave up attacking Xuzhou.

"There is a locust disaster in Pengcheng state, and the main forces of Xuzhou go to Pengcheng to provide disaster relief. This is a good opportunity for us to attack Guangling County secretly!"

Shouchun City, Hou Jing heard that Pengcheng state-owned locust disaster, want to take advantage of the fire, attack Guangling county.

Guo Jia deliberately dissuades: "if you don't want to die, don't easily provoke Chu zimou."

"There are only 30000 ordinary garrisons in Guangling. What's more, I just went to plunder and left when I got the benefit. There was no need to worry about it. Come on, bring your master. I'm always worried if the military adviser doesn't follow me. "

Hou Jing worried that Guo Jia would try to escape when he left Shouchun, so he took Guo Jia with him.

More than 20000 soldiers in Shouchun City, led by Hou Jing, invaded Guangling County of Xuzhou.

He needed to plunder a sum of gold and silver to satisfy the soldiers' desire.

A large number of troops were sent by Chu Tian to Pengcheng to fight the locust plague in various villages.

The regiment that originally fought in all directions is now fighting to kill locusts

At night, in the farmland outside Pengcheng, a team of dismounted cavalry dug traps, piled up straw to burn, attracted locusts, burned them, and buried them.

Zhao Yun, a fierce general, played a limited role in front of the locust disaster. He held a shovel to cover up the corpse of the locust.

Tens of thousands of locusts have been killed. It can be imagined how terrible the locust's reproductive capacity is.

Joan of arc also carrying a shovel, she worked hard to dig the trap, sweating.

In order to put out the plague of locusts in Pengcheng as soon as possible, everyone went to battle in person.

After Chu Tian's force increased, it was effortless to use the shovel.

After eating, they will not only kill all the plants in the field, but also kill themselves

In the cool summer, when it comes to locusts killing each other, I can't help feeling sick and pale.

"What's the matter with you?"

Chu Tian, leaning on his shovel, saw that his face was not very good in summer.

"It's OK. I may be tired."

"Xiuning, take Xia to rest."

Chu Tian was worried about something wrong with the cool summer, so he asked Li Xiuning to take the cool summer to rest.

The rest of them are still killing locusts in the fields.

"In the future, strict control measures should be set up in all counties to reduce the frequency of locust disasters."

It is almost unrealistic to prevent locust plague completely. Even industrial civilization can not avoid it completely. It can only reduce the scale and frequency of locust plague.

Otherwise, there will be a plague of locusts from time to time, and the bigger the territory of Chutian, the more miserable it will be.

Li Huang wiped his sweat with a dry towel: "pengchengxiang discovered and controlled the locust disaster earlier, and it is expected that the scope of the locust disaster will not leave Pengcheng. The disaster of Pengcheng state and the relief of seven other prefectures will prevent the outbreak of famine. "

"This may be the advantage of centralization. When one side is in trouble, all sides will support it."

Chu Tian had been the Lord for many years, and gradually realized a lot of truth.

The area of the Eastern Han Dynasty was too large. There were all kinds of disasters. The common natural disasters were waterlogging in the South and drought in the north. There were locusts, snowstorms, earthquakes, typhoons from time to time Therefore, the centralization system became more and more powerful in the Eastern Han Dynasty to reduce the instability of small-scale peasant economy.

"Wang Lang, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, made a positive performance in this locust disaster and made a record of his contributions, which will be used to assess his political achievements when he is promoted."

Seeing that Wang Lang's treatment was timely, Chu Tian praised him.Wang Lang was deeply ashamed to learn that Chutian praised him. In Pengcheng, where he ruled, there was a plague of locusts. Although we know that the plague of locusts is not caused by a person's bad moral character, but after all, the locust disaster occurs in the land under our control.

"It's tiring."

Wu An Guo directly sat on the ground and even strung locusts together, roasted them on the fire and ate them.

Wu An Guo's plagiarism has attracted many civil servants.

"Locusts can eat?"

Sitting next to Wu'an, MI Fang was curious to see that Wu'an chewed locusts as food.

"Why not. Who are you? "

Wu An Guo met Mi Fang, and they were very pleased to see each other.

Mi Fang raised his head and straightened out his chest: "in Xuzhou, there is no other general, Zhonglang general Mi Fang, the word Zifang."

Wu'an Guo didn't expect Mi Fang to have such a great future. He said, "I'm Wu'an Guo, the hammer of the North Sea. I don't have any words. Now I'm a Duwei in the five schools of the northern army."

Mi Fang said, "you can get into the five schools of the northern army, which shows that you have a little bit of brute force. When the plague of locusts is over, we will exchange martial arts when we are free. Although my martial arts are the best in Xuzhou, I will let you

Wu'an Guo heard that MI Fang's martial arts were one of the best in Xuzhou. Suddenly, he was afraid: "your martial arts are excellent. Maybe you'll surpass Lv Bu in Hulao pass. I won't be bored."

Mi Fang and Wu'an Guo, one dare to say, the other dare to believe.

They will burn the locusts at night, and they will be tired and rest during the day.

Chu Tian stationed in Pengcheng for ten days to suppress the locust plague.

In the meantime, Hou Jing invaded Guangling county. Chu Tian ordered Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, to defend Guangling and move the rural residents to the city. Then he didn't pay much attention to it.

Chu Tian believed that Chen Deng could hold Guangling, and Hou Jing's troops could hardly capture Guangling. Fang Xuanling judged that Hou Jing just wanted to seize the opportunity to rob the village and grain in Guangling.

When Chen Qingzhi heard that Hou Jing attacked Guangling, he asked Chu Tian to go to Guangling and join hands with Chen Deng to attack Hou Jing.

After a while, Chutian agreed to Chen Qingzhi's request.

Pengcheng and Guangling are both cities at the level of governance. Through the transmission array, you can immediately reach Guangling. Chen Deng has two or three thousand cavalry, which can be used by Chen Qingzhi.

After the suppression, the destructive power of the locust disaster gradually reduced, and no news of locust disaster was heard from the surrounding counties. People in Xuzhou were a little relieved.

In order to prevent their family's farmland from being destroyed by locusts, Xuzhou's aristocratic families actively supported Chutian to suppress the locust plague.

Relief food from various counties and counties was successively transported to Pengcheng and distributed to the victims of trapping and killing locusts.

In the ten days of cool summer, she only appeared in the farmland for a period of time, and she left early because of lack of body or nausea when seeing locusts.

Chu thought she didn't have enough physical strength to do the heavy work, so he didn't have any opinion about her leaving early. After all, everyone has his own strengths.

On the eleventh day, Li Lan, a doctor who had been following Xia Village, found Chu Tian: "can you tell me why Miss Xia is a little weak recently?"

"Why?"
