Changba was the first to stand up dissatisfied, and complained: "Big brother, do you say Liu Bei is stupid!" Even if he predicted correctly, there is really a possibility of a locust plague like the first year of Xingping next year, but can his measures really have any effect? Perhaps, in the end, it is just a waste of money and useless work. ”

Of course, he didn't dare to say that Zang Ba was not, so he could only point the finger at Liu Bei, the initiator.

Changba said this, and the others were not stupid, they all heard it, Changba was resolutely opposed to such a blind toss within his own jurisdiction.

"Hehehe!" Zang Ba didn't think it was a pestle, he laughed three times and explained: "Brothers, you must have paid attention to the wrong focus of this matter. It's not how Liu Bei is, but when Liu Bei did this, think about it, the envoy Liu An sent by Jin Jue has only been in Xuzhou for a few days, and Liu Bei immediately did this in the whole Xuzhou, don't you think of this? ”

"Big brother, even if that's the case, what can it mean?" Sun Guan asked disapprerovingly, he was a little dissatisfied with Zang Ba's previous obedience to the envoy's sophistry, not only meddling in the affairs of Qingzhou, but also politely rejecting Cao Cao and the envoy sent by the imperial court.

Among the generals of Mount Tai, Sun Guan was the most active in surrendering to Cao Cao.

"Hehehe, what can it say, I can see that Liu Bei's actions, including the prediction of the locust plague, are nine or eight times out of ten from that Liu An's mouth. You don't want to think about it, Liu Bei is not a fool, if that kid doesn't have such ability, how can he have so much trust in that Jin Jue? Zang Ba asked with a smile again.

However, Zang Ba's heart began to have an opinion on Sun Guan, Changba is that character, he speaks more straightly, but Sun Guan has never been a talkative character, but since Jin Jue's messenger came to them, Sun Guan has been very resistant.

Zang Ba believes that Sun Guan is not wrong to want to surrender to Cao Cao, but since everyone has decided to look at the situation first and then make the final choice, Sun Guan will not take him as the leader in his eyes if he does it again.

"Big brother, Brother Guan doesn't mean this, he is also as worried as Changba, if we also make such a big move in our respective jurisdictions, it will inevitably lose a lot of money and food, if at that time, there is no locust plague in the territory or it does not have any effect, then wouldn't it be in vain for us to do this?" Sun Kang saw Zang Ba's face, and hurriedly interjected, played a round, and also expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Alas......! In that case, everyone can choose for themselves! Zang Ba let out a long sigh and warned in a deep voice: "However, when the time comes, there will really be a shortage of food in the jurisdiction of your brothers, and you will have to think about which side to surrender." None of our people's areas are major grain producing areas, and once they are affected by the locust plague, they can only rely on other princes. ”

Zang Ba was right, except for the eastern area of Beihai County controlled by his direct subordinates Xu Xi and Mao Hui, all the jurisdictions under the control of the Taishan generals would be the land of mountains and seas, and the land that could be used to cultivate grain was slightly more than that of Luoyang County and Wudu County.

This is also the reason why Zang Ba is so positive, because once Xu Xi and Mao Hui's jurisdiction is affected by the locust plague, the impact on himself is also very great. The reason why Zang Ba dared to send Xu Xi and Mao Hui to occupy the eastern part of Beihai County was to seize a grain field, because he was ambitious and did not want to see the faces of other princes because of grain when the situation was unclear.

As soon as Zang Ba said this, in addition to Sun Guan, even Changba, who was the most opposed at the beginning, began to hesitate, how could they themselves be willing to look up to others?

In this way, the generals of Taishan held a very unsuccessful meeting.

Later, after Zang Ba returned to Kaiyang, he immediately divided a part of his troops from his subordinates and sent them to the eastern part of Beihai County, where Xu Xi and Mao Hui began to learn Xuzhou's methods and implement measures to prevent locust plagues. As for Kaiyang County, where Zang Ba is located, because it is located in a mountainous area, there is not much arable land, so Zang Ba did not take any measures in Kaiyang County.

After Changba and other generals left, he became an active person, although the eastern area of Langya County he was in charge of was close to the East China Sea and there was more saline-alkali land, but after all, there was a lot more flat land than the western part of Langya County, so he actively learned from Xuzhou in the jurisdiction and began to prevent locust plagues.

As for Wu Dun and Yin Li, the two of them did not make a big move, because Donglai County is almost all coastal areas, and they do not need to rely on farming, going to sea to fish, and boiling sea salt, all of which can increase their income.

On the one hand, he took the money that Liu Bei gave him on weekdays, and bought pigs in Xuzhou on a large scale, and he himself took the personal guards and gathered the hunters in the entire Xiapi country to start hunting wild beasts, mainly to catch wild boars.

As the former pig killer, Zhang Fei actually knows how to raise pigs, but people in this era do not know the secret method of castrating pigs.

After Liu Bei knew, he didn't stop it, in fact, Zhang Fei gathered the hunters of the whole county to hunt wild beasts, which was also very beneficial to the people, in ancient times, the adults or children in the family were taken away by wild beasts, and they were bitten to death and bitten halfway, which is nothing new. By doing so, Zhang Fei was able to salvage some of his reputation among the people of Xuzhou.

Liu Bei is naturally happy to see it, how can he stop it?

The work of burning bricks and tiles in Xuzhou is smoother than that of Luoyang County, and the reason is that the carboniferous mine mentioned by Liu An has not yet been found here in Xuzhou, so although the craftsmen need to consume a lot of wood, they are all veterans and do not use new fuels, so the success rate will be higher.

With a good start, under Liu An's guidance, the next work of building new houses and ondols will become smoother.

Liu An has always been in the position of commander throughout the process, and his words and deeds have been learned from what Jin Jue said when he was in Luoyang County, not to mention, this kid has no other skills, but he has the ability to remember what others say and learn to speak. He organized the construction of new houses in Xiapi City, and he did a remarkable job.
