After the problems of grain and grass have been effectively solved,

The atmosphere in the chamber was much more relaxed,

The expression on Lu Bu's face was also cloudy and clear.

Zhong Xuan stroked his beard and smiled:

"It's so good, with these stored grains, the famine in Chang'an this year will not happen, and other Guanzhong families will definitely donate a lot of grain, so it seems that the lord's previous plan can also continue."

Everyone nodded optimistically,

"Mr. Zhong's words are inappropriate."

Suddenly, a voice sounded suddenly,

Lou Gui, who had not spoken before, stood up at this moment,

first hugged Zhong Xuan apologetically,

Zhong Miao hurriedly returned the salute,

Looking at Lou Gui suspiciously,

I want to know what he is saying,

What's wrong,

Long before Lou Gui came to work,

is a well-known person in Guanzhong,

He suddenly spoke,

Everyone has to pay attention.

After Lou Gui got up,

Only then did he salute Lu Bu respectfully:

"My lord, although the food problem has been basically solved, we still must not be blindly optimistic. First of all, there has not been a locust plague in Guanzhong for a long time, this sudden locust plague, although it has just begun to appear, but the scale is not small, the specific scope of coverage we do not know, if only Chang'an is fine, but if it spreads to the entire Guanzhong region, and even extends beyond Guanzhong, then this catastrophic consequence is not what we estimated. ”

After Lou Gui's words came out,

The people present couldn't help but fall silent.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said:

"What Uncle Zi said is very true, but I was a little carried away just now, and I was thankful for Uncle Zi's timely reminder, and I almost missed a big event."

Lou Gui raised his eyebrows,

Looking at Lu Bu's gaze,

It's not as cold as before,

Lu Bu took all the responsibility so lightly,

and be able to wake up in time,

Such a generous pattern,

made Lou Gui's favorability in his heart rise a lot.

Lou Gui hurriedly bowed and said:

"The lord is as good as a stream, and he is really a model for my generation."

Lu Bu smiled even more heartily when he heard this,

Who said that people who read books are pedantic,

I don't know how to flatter,

This Lou Gui is a pun,

not only slapped Lu Bu's sycophants,

By the way, I also raised myself,

There is no suspicion of belittling anyone else,

Three birds with one stone, it's so deep that it's really ambiguous.

Lou Gui paused, and then said:

"My lord, for the sake of today's plan, we should first consider how to reduce the damage as much as possible if we extinguish the locust plague, or how to reduce the damage as much as possible, which is the key to the problem."

Lu Bu heard this,

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly,

Everyone present also sighed,

This Lou Gui pulled the question back again,

Before, because there was no suitable way,

Only then did we discuss the follow-up disposal first.

Zang Hong couldn't help but ask:

"What is Mr. Mo Fei's plan?"

Lou Gui shook his head as a matter of course,

Seeing this, Zang Hong was angry,

Turning his head and not going to pay attention to this person again.

Lou Gui rolled up his sleeves,

Whispered:

"As the saying goes: the drought is very strong, and the people believe that the reason why there is a drought is because there is a drought (Yinba) to make a mistake, and the reason why there is a locust plague is because the locust god is powerful. Therefore, when drought and locust plagues break out, the people generally carry out activities of "fighting droughts" and "worshipping locust gods". Therefore, the lower officials thought that the lord should order such activities to be held in Chang'an City as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

As soon as Lou Gui's voice fell,

Zhang Yan hurriedly opened her mouth and echoed:

"What Mr. Lou said is true, and the people of Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places will also hold such ceremonies."

After listening to Lou Gui's suggestion, Lu Bu

I couldn't help but pout,

In his previous life, Lu Bu was an atheist,

Naturally, I don't believe in such superstitious things.

But since we are in this era,

Due to the influence of knowledge, science and technology, etc.,

People are more of things that will be difficult to understand,

habitually attributed to ghosts and gods,

Lu Bu can only follow the customs,

Nodding, he motioned to accept Lou Gui's suggestion.

Lou Gui then spoke:

"At the same time, the lord can describe the appearance of the drought and the wrath of the locust god as the wrath of the gods caused by the perverse actions of the Yuan family in Runan and the usurpation of the emperor, and punish the actions of the world, if it can be supplemented by some other basis, this matter can be confirmed, and everyone's attention can be drawn to Runan ......"

After Lou Gui said this,

deliberately lowered his voice,

No further talking,

But the meaning of the words,

But everyone listened to it for real.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,

A gloomy smile curled up at the corner of his mouth,

Looking at Lou Guidao with some admiration:

"Uncle Zi's clever plan, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, just a few words, you can solve the problem, hahaha, I am very relieved!"

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said:

"I'll leave the matter of writing the sacrificial text to Dezu."

Yang Xiu hurriedly replied:

"Revision should live up to the trust of the lord."

Lu Bu nodded,

Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Yandao:

"Offering loyalty, is there a suitable place for sacrifice in Chang'an City?"

Zhang Yan lowered her head and pondered for a moment,

Hurriedly replied:

"My lord, there is an altar in the palace, which can be used with a little cleaning."

As soon as Zhang Yan's voice fell,

Before Lu Bu could speak,

Zhong Xuan stepped forward and said:

"My lord."

Lu Bu looked over suspiciously:

"Is there a suitable place for Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Xuan owes himself and says:

"The lower officials think that it is particularly inappropriate to sacrifice at the altar of the palace."

"How so?"

Lu Bu asked strangely.

Zhong Xuan stroked his beard and said:

"The altar in the palace is used by the Son of Heaven, if the Son is in Xu County today, if the lord is requisitioned at this time, I am afraid it is unreasonable. The lord's refusal to transgress the rules before has won the hearts of many people, and if he is negligent in this matter, the gains outweigh the losses. The lower officials thought that the lord could order someone to build a three-zhang high platform outside the city, and he could also carry out sacrifices, so that it was appropriate. ”

The others present chimed in.

Lu Bu's heart tightened,

If it weren't for Zhong Xuan's reminder,

I almost forgot about it,

Hurriedly nodded yes,

Tell Zhang Yan to go down,

According to Zhong Xuan,

In the farmland outside the city,

Build an earthen platform to prepare for a sacrificial thing,

Zhong Xuan is more familiar with this kind of thing,

Naturally, he entrusted these things to Zhong Xuan to be responsible.

After Lou Gui waited for Lu Bu to finish his instructions,

Then he spoke:

"The lower officials think that the main problem in controlling the locust plague is that the locusts are in large groups, making it difficult for people to approach and hunt them, and if some methods can be used to divide the locust swarms, the locust plague can be easily solved."

Lu Bu nodded in agreement,

Think of the swarms of locusts you see today,

It's not that much,

But that dense formation,

It already makes people feel numb on the scalp.

I once watched a video of the locust plague on TV,

The scene that obscures the sky and the sun,

Just watching from the screen,

will feel terrible,

Not to mention seeing it with your own eyes in reality.

Under that kind of formation,

I'm afraid there are few people who can not be afraid,

Even if it is the natural predator of locusts,

In the face of such a large number of locusts,

can only look at the wind and escape.

Lou Gui then spoke:

"Xiaguan once lived in seclusion for a period of time, and saw that the villagers used some local methods to deal with flying locusts. The locust plague is raging, but it still can't rely on its nature, and it can organize manpower to fight against the locusts by driving, arresting and burning, digging pits and filling them, which should be able to play a good effect. ”

Zhang Yan also chimed in:

"What Mr. Zibo said is true. On the Hebei and Qinghai sides, when the locust plague has not yet formed, most of them also use this method, which can reduce a lot of losses, of course, when encountering large-scale locust swarms, this method has little effect. ”

When Lu Bu heard Lou Gui's method,

My heart moved slightly,

As if I had caught something,

But when you want to think clearly,

But I can't catch it anyway,

I can only shake my head and stop thinking about it,

The opening also arranged this task together,

Lou Gui clenched his fist slightly towards Lu Bu at this time,

Retreat to your seat.

Things have been more or less discussed,

Lu Bu looked at everyone,

No one has been able to put forward a valid opinion again.

And many people's faces are tired at the moment,

So he instructed Zang Hongjia to send men,

Strengthen the security inside and outside Chang'an City,

Then he ordered everyone to disperse.

Lu Bu hurried back to his residence,

He's already given most of the story.

What he needs and wants to do most at this moment,

Just hurry up and lie in bed,

A good night's sleep,

After all, these days of hard work,

Makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted,

Long-term high-intensity intense work,

For dealing with things,

and does not play a very positive role,

Only a reasonable combination of work and rest,

In order to maximize the work efficiency,

Lu Bu paid special attention to this point,

Zhang Ning is not in the house at the moment,

I think there's something going on too,

This time the locust plague caused a lot of trouble,

Everyone is anxious.

Zhang Ning is not there, and Lu Bu is even more happy.

I can't even take care of eating,

Back in the bedroom,

He fell down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

This night, Lu Bu slept until the afternoon before waking up.

I still feel a little tired after waking up,

Zhang Ning is taking a nap in the house,

After seeing Lu Bu wake up,

hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring the meal that had been prepared,

Lu Bu is also not polite,

sat down at the dinner table and began to gobble up,

In order to be able to eat a hot meal as soon as he wakes up,

These foods have been reheated several times.

Zhang Ning sat next to him,

While adding all kinds of dishes for Lu Bu,

While saying softly:

"Husband, eat slowly, and no one is competing with you, look at your appearance."

Where can Lu Bu care about being ridiculed by Zhang Ning,

Fight to destroy the food in front of you,

In the middle, I didn't forget to ask Zhang Ning:

"Ning'er, how did you accept it here, and is there any resistance?"

Zhang Ning handed a bowl of soup to Lu Bu in front of him,

I'm afraid he'll choke on eating so quickly,

In passing, he explained:

"This morning just passed. After last night's turmoil, it shouldn't be a big problem, and I still have so many helpers around me, don't you worry, can't you trust Ning'er? ”

Zhang Ning pursed his lips childishly,

Lu Bu knew she was joking,

Stretched out his hand and scratched Zhang Ning's white and tender face,

Only then did I relax and eat and drink to my heart's content.

"This meal has been heated several times, and it doesn't taste very good, and you can eat it so deliciously, giggles, I really don't know what kind of reincarnation you are."

Zhang Ning sneered softly in his mouth,

However, the eyes that looked at Lu Bu were full of distress,

She knew that Lu Bu must be hungry,

I haven't eaten since last night,

Busy all night,

I didn't even sleep,

Signs of a plague of locusts were found this morning,

Then he was called up again to do his work on the plague of locusts.

I slept for two or three hours,

The iron-beaten man can't stand it,

How could she not be distressed,

But as her woman,

Zhang Ning knows very well,

Even if you feel distressed, you have to hold back and not be able to speak,

Because that's what he wants to do,

She will only support,

You can't say frustrating words to hold you back.

Lu Bu swallowed a large piece of chicken,

Drank a big mouthful of soup,

Sending food down the throat into the stomach,

That's when I slowed down the pace of eating,

"Hahaha, Ning'er wants to say that I am a starving ghost reincarnated?"

Zhang Ning heard the words and sent a big white eye,

Smiled charmingly:

"You said it yourself, I didn't say it. Giggles! ”

"Cunning!"

Lu Bu smiled and said,

With his wife by his side,

Even though there are great troubles,

I feel a lot more relaxed at the moment.

He then spoke:

"Don't say it. It's a happy thing to eat. As the saying goes, it's a blessing to be able to eat. Right? Therefore, when you eat, you are enjoying happiness, and you must eat heartily. ”

Zhang Ning wrinkled his upturned nose,

obviously sneered at Lu Bu's triumph:

"Hmph, I still have a lot of words. Then you can tell me, you advocate eating so much, so what delicious food have you eaten? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu, who did not forget to eliminate the great cause of food, was even more eyebrows dancing,

While eating,

While trying to reminisce about the delicious food I tasted in my previous life,

Thinking about it, my mind was full of those delicacies,

Whether it's color, aroma, or taste,

are far away from a few streets in this era,

Suddenly I felt that the food in front of me tasted really bad.

It's just the same as chewing wax,

simply put the chopsticks down,

Carefully explained to Zhang Ning.

"Ning'er, let me tell you, that's not blowing with you, whether it's running on the ground, flying in the sky, or swimming in the water, there's nothing we haven't eaten."

Zhang Ning thought that what Lu Bu said was,

Those delicacies of the mountains and seas of this era,

I couldn't help but deliberately say:

"I've tasted all of these things, what's so strange."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Ning with his eyes, and said:

"Hey, the little lady actually looks down on her husband? Come on, come on, and say it to the husband. Let's talk about the most ordinary barbecue, I have eaten more than ordinary barbecue, it is all-encompassing, not to mention all kinds of ordinary cattle, sheep, birds and rabbits, even all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and even insects, which can be roasted and eaten, that taste ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu was suddenly stunned.
