When several people in the study went out, Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin opened the partition and walked out of the cubicle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Lu Shuo listened to the discussion just now, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, thinking that maybe it would be useful to cure locusts, but he didn't know if it was feasible or not.

He lowered his head and pondered, thinking about when it would be better to say it to Lu Yun, and his expression was a little stunned.

Yuan Wenlin let out a long sigh of relief.

He sat down on the lamp hanging chair, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Lu Shuo. Then he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking the tea, Yuan Wenlin saw that Lu Shuo was still there in a daze, so he poked him with his elbow and asked him mysteriously: "Hey~ What do you think?

Lu Shuo was touched by him and was shocked, only then did he react and hurriedly replied: "I was thinking about what happened just now! Cousin, you said that old man, does he really have the ability to ripen the crops ten days in advance?"

Yuan Wenlin hugged his arms, his little hands under his chin, and when he heard this, he thought carefully for a while.

"I'm not sure, but looking at the old man's performance just now, I don't think he will lie. ”

Yuan Wenlin tilted his head and looked directly into Lu Shuo's eyes and gave such an answer.

"But," Yuan Wenlin paused slightly, and then said, "If this prescription is true, then you say, how powerful that old man's grandfather is!"

When Yuan Wenlin said this, he got up from the lamp-hung chair and paced on the twilled jacquard knitted carpet in the study.

"I heard the old man say that when his grandfather was alive, he wrote down many good recipes for farming. If these things had not been destroyed, compiled into a book, and then asked the officials to advise farmers and mulberry farmers in accordance with this law, perhaps our land tax revenue would have been raised to a higher level! The lives of the common people would have been a little better. ”

When Lu Shuo heard what he said, he laughed, and in the end, he felt that this smile was too feminine, and hurriedly straightened his body.

He felt that what Yuan Wenlin said was quite reasonable to a certain extent, but it was a little too idealistic.

So he replied with a smile: "Cousin, what you think is too simple! The so-called one place and one custom, we have a wide range of land and resources, but no matter how good the method is, we have to adapt measures to local conditions, and we must improve the agricultural level of the entire Qi Dynasty, how can it be so easy!"

Yuan Wenlin didn't care when he saw that he was smiling so poorly, anyway, he was just thinking about it.

Just thinking of the tragic death of that person, Yuan Wenlin couldn't help but feel pity, so he sighed faintly: "This person is really born at the wrong time! If he can live now, he can make a difference." ”

It's just not the right time!

Lu Shuo agreed.

It's just that he feels that since he has come to this era, he must know how to abide by the rules of this era, otherwise it is inevitable to be eliminated by this era.

This experience of traveling through predecessors also made Lu Shuo feel relatable.

The two didn't talk for long, and then went back to the inner courtyard.

Because of the long delay in the study, it was already past the normal lunch time.

When the two of them came back, Zhou's mother greeted her with a smile and said, "Brother is back!" The two girls have been waiting for a long time. ”

Lu Shuo thought that Lu Yun and Yuan Zheng hadn't eaten yet, so he asked Zhou's mother, "Are my father and uncle back?" I remember that they were both hungry!"

Zhou's mother replied: "Fang Cai Xiaowu has already come to reply, saying that the two masters still have guests to entertain, and Mother Hua directly put the table in the front yard, and the two brothers don't have to worry about this." ”

As soon as Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin heard this, they thought that the matter of controlling locusts was urgent, and it was almost a race against time, and Lu Yun and Yuan Zheng might still have important things to do, so they didn't say much, and hurriedly quickened their pace.

When I entered the Ming Hall in the main room, I saw that Amber and Zhu Yi were already arranging lunch.

Yuan Wenyi looked at them with sparkling eyes, and Lu Shuo was also a trustworthy person, so he hurriedly told her about the things in the study.

Yuan Wenyi was amazed as usual, and this matter was not mentioned for the time being.

In the small flower hall in the front yard, the round dining table is full of delicacies. Lu Yun and Yuan Zheng each sat on a five-open light dazzle stool, holding the dishes while drinking slowly.

"Brother Zilan, what do you have in mind about the green manure?"

After Yuan Zheng said this, he picked up a piece of rouge goose breast and chewed it carefully.

Lu Yun knew what he meant by this.

This is not the only place where the locust plague will occur.

He thought about the complicated background of his colleagues in the northern provinces, and he had some hidden worries in his heart.

It's just that the control of locusts is a major matter related to the common people, and if we take into account the differences in political views among colleagues at this time, it will be a bit narrow-minded.

"Uncle," Lu Yun stopped his chopsticks and shouted.

He thought for a moment, then continued: "There is nothing to hesitate about in this matter. In the future, if this method is really effective, I will not report it, even if it is successful in curing locusts, I am afraid that I will have to eat and hang. ”

When Lu Yun said this, he was a little bored, so he poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all.

He drank a little hurriedly, and the wine choked in his throat, and he coughed uncontrollably.

Yuan Zheng hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and patted Lu Yun's back one by one, and after a while, Lu Yun eased up.

Yuan Zheng understood his thoughts, so he blamed him and said, "Tell me about you, why bother yourself about these unpleasant things." Everyone says that being an official is good, but people are in the officialdom, but they are always involuntarily, how can everything go well?"

When Lu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he thought of the officialdom experience of the past ten years.

He turned his head to look at Yuan Zheng, and his voice was full of nostalgia: "Uncle still remembers that when I was studying at Taoshan Academy, our two brothers also had ambitions and were determined to do something. ”

When Yuan Zheng heard this, he recalled the past, and his eyes were a little dark.

Lu Yun continued: "At that time, I abandoned the grace of the palace and became an official in the imperial examination, because I didn't want to do nothing all my life, and I wanted to do something practical in a down-to-earth manner." It's just that in the past ten years, he has been an official for several terms, but he has to be controlled by others everywhere. Nowadays, even this good thing that can benefit the country and the people, before doing it, you have to think about the conflict of interest behind it, for fear of offending this party and hindering that party, where is there still the kind of bookish atmosphere that guided the country back then?"

Yuan Zheng experienced no less ups and downs than Lu Yun's, and he was also infected by these words for a while, and then fell silent.

Lu Yun saw his reaction like this, and knew that the old things that touched him were a little embarrassed, so he said: "When I feel it, I have some scruples, and my uncle doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Yuan Zheng said: "The sea is up and down, and I can't help myself. You also took me as a close friend, so you told me these heartfelt words, I can save them, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Because of this topic, the mood of the two of them was affected to a certain extent, so they didn't continue to say anything else, and the meal was eaten quietly and quickly.

After the dishes were removed, the two went back to the study and began to talk about business.

"Most of the governors of the whole river-northern province are the prince's men. Our relationship with the crown prince is also close, but we can rest assured. Only three people are more troublesome. ”

As soon as Lu Yunfu sat down, he took the lead in speaking.

"Not bad. Yuan Zheng knew all about the tenure of these officials, so he nodded in agreement.

Lu Yun then talked about the situation of these three people one by one.

"The most tricky thing is Du Huaiyuan, the prefect of He-Beidao, who studied under Yue Ge Lao since he was a child, and became the son-in-law of Yue Ge Lao, and really learned Yue Ge Lao's pedantic and conservative ten. I've heard that when Yue Ge Lao was released outside Shuzhou, he encountered a locust plague, but he strictly ordered the people not to slaughter locusts, saying that locusts are through the gods, and killing them will cause disaster, I don't know if this Du Governor will do the same. ”

When Yuan Zheng heard this, he asked Lu Yun: "After all, he is the head of a line, and he is your superior, if he is not allowed to cure locusts, can you think of a countermeasure?"

Lu Yun smiled, and the whole person was very confident.

He said: "I have already thought about it, no matter whether the green manure is useful or not, we will first attach the prescription to the letter today and send it to each prefecture, as for whether it is implemented, it depends on the prefecture." After waiting for two days, if the medicine is really effective, then quickly whip it to the imperial court, and then what will happen, but it is not up to him Du Prefect to have the final say!"

Yuan Zheng saw that he already had a way to do both, so he laughed.

Lu Yun continued.

"Luo Yuan of Pingzhou and Deng Yi of Xingzhou, both of whom worshipped Gao Zhuo as their teacher back then, I am afraid that they have always been the eyeliner of the Four Princes. I have my back to the Jingguo Mansion, and the last time the incident of Yuluo Mountain made Gao Zhuo swallow the bitter fruit, I am afraid that these two have long regarded me as a princeling, and they may not listen to my advice, but this is something I can't control. ”

Lu Yun was very unaccustomed to this kind of behavior of officials forming parties for personal gain and causing the people to suffer, but he felt that he was powerless.

Yuan Zheng felt that Lu Yun had done a good job!

He walked up to Lu Yun, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "We can only do our best in everything, and we have achieved this point, we can already be worthy of our hearts!"

Lu Yun is not an overly pessimistic person in the end, and after listening to Yuan Zheng's advice, he quickly let go of his knot.

After a while, someone from outside reported that Steward Zhou had gathered all the ingredients needed for the prescription.

When Lu Yun heard this, the sadness just now was completely gone, and he hurriedly ordered the little servant to invite Sun Lao.

This old Sun is the white-haired old farmer just now.

When Sun Lao saw the things prepared by Steward Zhou, he nodded again and again, and said, "These are the things, they are very well prepared." ”

When Lu Yun took a look, he saw fish bone meal, barley, rat thatch, tamaria, etc., as well as some plant rhizomes that Lu Yun didn't know at all.

While mixing these ingredients in proportion, Sun Lao explained in detail the order and proportion of green manure preparation and how to spread it to the people present.

Sure enough, it's very simple! Lu Yun thought secretly.

Not only that, according to several other old farmers, these ingredients are very common in Cangzhou and are not difficult to find.

This is suitable for large-scale promotion, and every household can make it by itself.

After Sun Lao prepared a copy, Lu Yun did not delay and directly issued a decree.

This decree was issued to each county, and Lu Yun asked the magistrates to extend the orders to ripen grains and arrest locusts to all townships, li, and bao, and to adopt the method of supervision at all levels to prevent people from stealing and playing tricks and not following the decree.

In the decree, Lu Yun also wrote in detail how to prepare and spread green manure, as well as how to arrest locusts by fire and burying them alive.

Lu Yun also made a special statement that these green manures can increase yields, which is greatly beneficial to grains.

This statement is Lu Yun's caution!

When the official who issued the decree went out, Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he sent a letter to each governor, in which he wrote about green manure and the killing of locusts, as usual.

After these things were done, Lu Yun felt that the burden on his shoulders in the past few days was much lighter.

As for what to do next, we can only wait for the results reported by the counties in two days.
