Chapter 57: Extinguishing Locusts (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
In today's situation, it is impossible to spread the medicine on a large scale.
Chen Jue can only choose to exterminate locusts at designated points.
After all, this drug is not easy to come by, and the toxicity is difficult to control, so it is not good if it hurts people.
If you spray locusts at designated points, you can control the harmful area and avoid any accidents.
For example, all the poisoned locusts were cremated.
The farmland that sowed 'dichlorvos' had to be abandoned for a year and a half, and the peasant households were given a certain amount of compensation.
These things are negotiable.
It's really not okay to directly confess, can Cao Cao still care, and it won't be him who will die when the time comes.
Chen Jue led people down the mountain.
Due to the large number of people on this trip, Chen Jue did not steal the limelight and went out to pretend to be compared in a hot air balloon.
After riding for more than an hour, everyone finally reached their goal.
I had already seen a swarm of locusts on the way, pressing down like a dark cloud, and this formation was a little scary.
A moment later, another group arrived.
It turned out to be Xun Yu who stayed in Yecheng.
Chen Jue looked at Xun Lingjun and said with a smile:
"Ling Jun is here."
Xun Yu arched his hand to Chen Jue and asked:
"Does Lord Chen really have a way to eliminate the locust plague?"
Chen Jue said:
"If Ling Jun can trust the owner of the village, he will go to help do something and expropriate the nearby farmland."
Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"Okay, this matter depends on the owner of Chen Zhai."
Recently, Xun Yu has been emaciated, because the grain and grass are scorched, and even now it has not been solved.
The grain and grass were still being escorted on the way, and even if he specially ordered to urge, it would take another day or two.
Fortunately, there is Qingyunzhai disaster relief, otherwise many victims would be miserable, not to mention starving to death half of them.
Now that Chen Jue has stood up again, and said that he can solve the locust swarm, Xun Yu naturally does not want to hold back.
And Xun Yu believed in Chen Jue, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he still chose to help.
Xun Yu represents the government, which is just a small matter.
It was Chen Jue who looked at the farmland and ordered everyone to start sprinkling medicine, and dozens of acres around it were among them.
If you want to get rid of these locusts, you have to invest some money, and most of these crops are gone.
Anyway, it will be devoured by locusts, so it is better to make some contributions first, at least you won't feel at a loss.
Xun Yu watched quietly beside him, with a little curiosity in his eyes:
What are the sprinkles?
The area of farmland is indeed not small, and Chen Jue also spent a lot of effort to finally sprinkle the crops with medicine.
At this moment, the swarm of locusts is also approaching.
Today's locusts are simpler and less difficult than later generations, and they fly straight to the crops.
The locust swarm was mighty, but they did not know that death was near.
Everyone watched intently.
Under some dim skies, dense swarms of locusts flew by, sweeping away the crops on the farmland.
But in the blink of an eye, an acre of farmland was wiped out, leaving only some sparse straw.
Xun Yu frowned, and said uncertainly:
"Is this really going to work?"
Chen Jue nodded and said indifferently:
"Wait a little longer, and Ling Jun will understand."
The people were all around, their eyes full of curiosity, and they looked at the locust swarm with great displeasure.
If it weren't for these locusts, they would not have been reduced to such a point that they would not even be able to eat.
A year's hard work has been in vain.
The swarms are still spreading, enveloping all the crops, and they are greedy for food.
I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
This scene did not last long, and a mutation occurred among the locust swarms, as if a plague was spreading.
Starting with the locusts at the front, they fell to the ground one by one, and all of them piled up in the fields.
This scene looked a little scary, and Xun Yu exclaimed:
"This poison ...... It's a little scary. ”
In fact, a long time ago, some people considered using poison to treat locusts, but the effect is far less than at this moment.
After all, Chen Jue is a targeted pharmaceutical.
The locust swarms died one by one, but those who followed were still greedy, and then they repeated the same mistakes.
The farmland was piled up in a thick layer, and the locust's body was completely stiff, and there was no movement for a long time.
At this moment, Chen Jue heard the movement behind him.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang also arrived.
Chen Jue was surprised:
"Lao Zhu, aren't you recruiting, why did you come here, did you watch this scene specifically?"
Zhuge Liang smiled, looked at the scattered locust swarm, and said:
"The owner of the village is really clever, and he is here to come and see how these locusts fell."
Chen Jue spread his hands and replied:
"Then you came at the right time, the locusts over there are cold, and everything else is already about the same."
Zhuge Liang sincerely admired:
"The owner of the village is a true god and a man, and the locusts are not a problem, and it can be regarded as saving the people."
Xun Yu didn't like it, so he asked:
"Master Chen, this one looks a little raw."
Chen Jue introduced:
"This is the apprentice of the master of this village, named Zhu Liang."
Xun Yu glanced at it a few more times, and was a little curious:
This person's bearing is extraordinary, but Zhu Liang's name is unfamiliar, is it a hermit?
Zhuge Liang was not shocked and arched his hand to Xun Yu.
The two of them have met.
As for the recruitment of people in Qingyunzhai, Xun Yu said that he didn't want to care, and he couldn't do anything.
The agreement between Chen Jue and Cao Cao, Xun Yu can remember it clearly, and he will not break the contract at this moment.
Chen Jue is benevolent and righteous, helping to relieve many victims, but not many people are taken away.
If it was a normal robber cottage, I am afraid that it would have taken the opportunity to plunder, and I don't know how many people were displaced.
But if you think about it, if it's an ordinary copycat......
I'm afraid it has already been swept away by Cao Cao, and there are still today's things there, this is the cycle of cause and effect.
Without further ado, the crowd continued to pay attention to the swarm of locusts.
But with the foreshadowing of Fang Cai, everyone no longer made a fuss, but the joy in their eyes grew.
Half an hour had passed, and the fields were full of locusts and ruined crops.
Only the sparse locusts, flying aimlessly, seemed to wonder what was happening.
In this wave alone, more than 80 percent of the locust swarms were wiped out.
As for the remaining locusts, they were not to worry about it now, and everyone looked extremely surprised.
Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, Chen Jue said loudly:
"Hurry up and clean up, the rest are minor problems, just send some people to catch them."
At this moment, Xun Yu reacted and hesitated:
"That's ...... Finished? ”
You must know that locust plagues occur elsewhere, and the locust swarms are swept all the way, how can it be like here......
Chen Jue pursed his lips and said:
"What, Ling Jun doesn't want to be so fast?"
Xun Yu hurriedly shook his head, woke up from the shock, and said:
"No, no, I was just scared by the owner of Chen Zhai."
Chen Jue smiled and said:
"Most of the locusts are dead, but there are still some things to pay attention to, and you still need to make arrangements for Lingjun safely."
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said:
"If Master Chen has anything to say, just say it."
Chen Jue nodded, pointed to the farmland and said:
"At least for this year, no more crops can be planted here, so try not to let people get close.
Although the medicine is aimed at locusts, it is poisonous and can kill people, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
Xun Yu bowed his hand and asked:
"And what about these locusts?"
Chen Jue looked ahead and said slowly:
"Set it all on fire, it's useless to keep it."
