Chapter 030: Countermeasures (M)

"It's not completely impossible!" The eldest farmer spoke suddenly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He stroked his long hair, and looking at everyone's desperate looks, Shi Shiran opened his mouth.

With this opening, everyone in the study room is like a rain that suddenly falls after a long drought, and a long time of hunger suddenly gets food.

The atmosphere in the room, which was already dreary to the extreme, was suddenly ignited.

Everyone turned their attention to the white-haired old farmer.

When Lu Yun heard this, the mood that had fallen to the bottom returned to his place.

He looked at the old man with hopeful eyes, his voice trembled a little, and he said excitedly: "I don't know what the old man has to say, please don't hesitate to give advice!" ”

"The adults have tormented the little old man." The white-haired old farmer looked much more indifferent than just now.

He continued: "Just as the big brother just said, there is no possibility of driving away all the locusts and killing them. ”

The old man paused at this point.

Everyone's interest was lifted into the air, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man looked at everyone's reactions, chuckled, and continued, "But sir, please think about it, why do you want to deal with the locust plague?" ”

When Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin heard this, they only felt that they suddenly became enlightened.

Isn't that it? Start with the results, and naturally there will be no worries.

If all the crops are received in the barn, even if there are more locusts, what is there to be afraid of?

Yuan Zheng suddenly spoke, breaking the beautiful imagination in front of everyone.

"Old man, it's not like the two of us haven't thought about what you said. However, now there are more than ten days before the grain harvest, and the locust plague is about to come. The day before yesterday, we tried to let everyone harvest in advance in Ulshan County, but the villagers were lucky, thinking that the locust plague would not necessarily come, but now is the most important time for grain growth, and if we harvest now, I am afraid that the yield will be reduced by half! Therefore, the vast majority of people are unwilling. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Zheng thought about the obstacles he had received in the past two days and sighed deeply.

He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Food is the life of the people, if you don't give them some practical protection, even if you forcibly promote this policy, I'm afraid you won't do much." ”

What Yuan Zheng said was more profound for the old farmers present.

In times like these, land is the lifeblood of farmers! Many people's first thought after making money is to buy a few acres of fertile land, so that they feel stable and steady.

Several old peasants exchanged in a low voice, sighing, and seemed to agree.

Lu Shuo was silent. He felt that although he had lived for nearly twenty years, his brain was still a tendon!

It seems that no matter what decision you make, you must first consider the psychology of the audience! Otherwise, no matter how good the decree is, it can only achieve half the result.

At this point, it seems that things have entered an impasse.

The old man smiled, faced Yuan Zheng, and continued to speak: "That's what the adults said!" It's just that adults, if you can think of ways to make the crops ripen early, and then think of ways to postpone the arrival of the locust plague, wouldn't this solve the problem? ”

When Lu Yun and Yuan Zheng heard this, their eyes lit up.

But where is it so easy to find such a method?

Lu Yun suddenly stood up, walked in front of the white-haired old farmer in a few steps, and couldn't wait to ask: "The arrival of the locust plague and the ripening of crops must pay attention to the time of day, could it be that the old people have any good way to change their own habits?" ”

"Yes, old man!" Another old man with a red face stroked his sparse beard and questioned him: "These are all set by God, but we mortals can't change them if they want to." ”

The white-haired old farmer didn't care at all, he said with a smile: "Little Lao'er doesn't sell Guanzi anymore, I do have some ancestral methods to make crops mature seven or eight days in advance." ”

Everyone present, including Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin in the cubicle, was taken aback.

Could it be that this old man has a catalyst?

But Lu Shuo has lived two lifetimes, but he has only heard of those that can ripen melons and fruits, and he has never heard of crops that can also ripen crops!

Lu Shuo felt that he was going to rise again!

The white-haired old farmer didn't seem to see the surprised eyes of everyone present, and he said to himself: "Speaking of which, our ancestors have passed down this old recipe for more than a hundred years. ”

Speaking of this, the white-haired old farmer's gaze was a little blurred, as if he had fallen into a memory.

"I remember that at that time, when I was only a teenager, it rained for more than half a month in a row, and the river swelled, and even the canal burst its banks, and many fertile fields were flooded. Our county seat is far away from the canal, but we also knew the news early, but we didn't have anything to do. ”

The room was quiet, and everyone held their breath and patiently listened to the old man's talk about the ancients.

In the past two years, Lu Yun has been the governor of Zhouzhou, but he has done enough homework, and he has long been familiar with the records of Cangzhou Prefecture and large and small disasters.

So just thinking about it, I found that there was indeed a large flood in Cangzhou more than 50 years ago.

Therefore, although the white-haired old man hadn't said his method yet, Lu Yun had already believed most of it!

I don't think the old man will bluff people in this matter.

The old man did not pause for long, his expression changed from the previous confusion to joy, and some cloudy eyes burst into light.

He continued: "At that time, the whole family was at a loss and didn't know what to do. At this time, my grandfather mixed the ancestral fertilizer overnight, saying that it could ripen the crops, and the family didn't believe it at first, but they just thought that they would simply use the dead horse as a live horse doctor! I sprinkled the fertilizer on the farmland overnight, but after two days, the grains were all full all at once, and our crops were harvested ten days earlier than others. ”

Ten days early!

It's still someone who has tried it themselves!

Everyone thought it was a little incredible.

Lu Yun and Yuan Zheng glanced at each other, feeling that ten days was a bit too exaggerated, and both of them had some disbelief.

The old man with a red face sat on the lamp hanging chair, patted his thighs with both hands, and couldn't help laughing.

He pointed at the white-haired old farmer and exclaimed, "Old brother, your cowhide is going to blow through the sky!" Such a strange thing is unheard of for the little old man! If your family really has such ability, do you still need to stay in the field and grow crops? It's long overdue! ”

As soon as the words fell, although the others did not echo and said anything, their eyes were full of disbelief.

Lu Shuo thought that the old man might really have a way to ripen the grain, and he was itching anxiously now, so he wanted to know what it was immediately.

The white-haired old farmer saw that everyone didn't believe what he said, and he was not calm, his voice was raised a lot, and he hurriedly said: "You can go to Hongye Village to inquire, the little old man never lies!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and pointed at the red-faced old farmer, and said excitedly: "The recipe for green manure is written in black and white!" Our family has always kept it as a family heirloom, if it weren't for Lord Zhizhou to use it, the little old man would still be reluctant to take it out! Don't slander me here. ”
