People who are blinded by hatred are very scary because they have only one belief in their hearts, and that is revenge.

Especially for people with high IQ and high EQ like Liu Xiu, it will make people even more desperate after they are blackened. During this time, Liu Xiu was ostensibly accompanying her family and Yin Lihua to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but in fact she was planning a horrific disaster.

As one of the thirteen states of the Western Han Dynasty, Jingzhou's area is roughly equivalent to the entire territory of present-day Hubei and Hunan provinces. The name is divided into seven counties or counties of Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Guiyang, Wuling, Lingling and Changsha. In recent years, Jingzhou natural disasters continue, the people are living very hard, even Jingzhou Mu is tightening his belt to live, every once in a while to go to the country to splash and roll, pray for assistance, although Wang Mang hates Jingzhou Mu but also greatly appreciate his love for the people like a son's personality, every time there will be more money and materials.

Liu Xiu sifted the information that was useful to him from the gossip and homely information of his family and the people, and he already had a general plan, but what he lacked was a weapon that could arouse the panic and resentment of the people on a large scale.

What kind of weapons can arouse panic and resentment among the people?

Dynamite? If Liu Xiu knew how to make this thing, he would have taken it out a long time ago to bombard Wang Mang's goods?

Gas bombs? It's good to think about this high-tech thing.

For half a month, the thinking was not straightened out, and the product did not expect that Liu Xiuxian made himself haggard and looked like he was going to return to the West at any time.

Sometimes something that you can't answer to your hard time will come to fruition because of some small thing.

What is this weapon?

It's the locusts among the parents of a few people gossiping.

Locusts, commonly known as grasshoppers, have long been one of the most hated creatures in farming countries, and they have a very mixed diet, and they also like to accompany droughts, which can devastate the already small production of food.

Liu Xiu has always been a man of action, he does what he thinks, and he will never drag mud and water, but raising these creatures can only be done quietly. The breeding place is in a corner of the valley, and in a few days several strange houses with no windows, holes in the walls and covered with transparent silk have been built, and the four blood-red characters in the military forbidden land are matched with skull patterns, so that the illiterate robe can know the death of the trespasser in this place through brain supplementation.

After the most basic facilities were completed, Liu Xiu selected a few robes from the village to assist him in completing the entire cultivation process.

This group of laymen who don't know anything about it are tinkering with the experimental base, not to mention how high the failure rate is, they can already get started with Amitabha. They tossed and turned for several days, and they didn't even touch the most basic cultivation conditions.

"My lord, aren't the people spreading locusts due to drought? Wouldn't we just not sprinkle the fields with water, and wait for the fields to slow down and become dry? As soon as Pang Meng opened his mouth to express his suggestion, he was greeted by Liu Xiu's wild spray: "Are you a pig?" Whoever farms without sprinkling irrigation, you tell me. ”

"What does it have to do with us whether the people's homes are sprinkled or not, don't we buy land and open up the wasteland by ourselves?" Liu Xiu has never been exposed to farming since he was a child, and the only farm work he has done is herding cattle, so his plan has always been to breed insect eggs and then implant them in the fields of ordinary people.

Liu Xiu confidently said his plan, and found that the people around him were looking at him with surprised eyes.

This kind of look represents not admiration but disbelief, and Pang Meng even said stubbornly: "Lord, you shouldn't have farmed." ”

"What's wrong with not farming? Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Liu Xiu firmly believed that his plan was perfect and no one was allowed to question it, but Pang Meng really didn't want to do useless work, so he said: "Lord, the most basic process of farming is called sprinkling quicklime, in order to destroy the eggs of all pests. ”

"Huh!" Liu Xiu, who was hit by this sudden critical hit, was completely speechless, didn't ancient farming allow plants to grow savagely? What the hell is quicklime? Insect control powder?

"I'm tired, go back and rest first, and then you can study and study." Liu Xiu ran away in the name of rest, and went to the farmland outside the valley to find an old farmer to understand what quicklime is.

What is quicklime? The old farmer can't say clearly, that is, he knows that this thing is handed down by the ancestors, and the use of skills is even more exquisite, first digging a ditch, then laying straw, and then sprinkling quicklime on it, and then turning the ground, the depth reaches 30 centimeters, burying quicklime and straw in the ground, and then it is appropriate irrigation, so that the quicklime heats up and ferments the straw into fertilizer to help the growth of crops, and can kill all kinds of bacteria and insect eggs in the soil.

The wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, with these old farmers, in addition to natural disasters, they can only rely on Liu Xiu to open up the land and deliberately create locust plagues.

The goal is clear, success or failure is just a matter of trying.

There are two sides to everything. This concept and inclusiveness is one of Liu Xiu's biggest advantages as a modern person traveling back to ancient times, although quicklime fever will make the field dry, but if the depth and frequency are accurately controlled, it will help the growth of insect eggs.

In natural temperatures, locusts will only mate between June and July, August and September, and after each egg laying, the female will die, and the average egg hatching is between 60 and 80. It takes about 10 to 15 days for the eggs to hatch, and the larvae eat very little at first, eating only some tender corn, sorghum, wheat, millet seedlings and some young grasses with monocotyledons. Therefore, before the locusts hatch, corn, wheat, millet and other crops should be planted in the shed as the starting feed of grasshoppers, which can reduce the mortality rate of young grasshoppers and speed up their growth rate. Locusts molt every five to six days, each molting time is about 20 minutes, a total of five molts, so locusts from hatching to adulthood takes about 30 days, after adulthood they will begin to mate and lay eggs to reproduce, but unfortunately their lifespan is not long, only a short 75 days.

During this period, Liu Xiu also had the common sense to use the stove to control the temperature to achieve the effect of inducing labor and increment, but without the high-tech product of thermometer, Liu Xiu did not succeed once, and finally had to choose to give up.

For these subtle data, Pang Meng and other guards were already amazed and numb.

The reason why the lord is the lord is because he is a god who can accomplish what people want to do but cannot accomplish.

It took Liu Xiu so much time and so much energy to finally complete this devastating weapon.

"Wang Mang, I'm looking for you."

Wang Mang, who was far away in the national capital, woke up in a dream again, I really don't know if he could really hear Liu Xiu's shouting.
