Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dahan Disaster Prevention Handbook (1)
In the Yuxiong Palace, after sweetly feeding the young woman Dong Yuan, Liu Xie teased her again, and did not stop until the pretty widow's whole body was hot and hot.
After Dong Yuan ate lovingly, she snuggled in the arms of the Son of Heaven, her indifferent heart gradually warmed, she felt the broad chest of the Son of Heaven, smelled the strong masculine aura on Liu Xie's body, and fell back asleep after a while.
Feeling the ripe softness of Dong Yuan under the futon, Liu Xie couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly.
"Wave~~~"
Kissing the young woman's soft and sweet lips, Liu Xie gently stroked her cheek, and the apology in his heart deepened.
This woman is not guilty of any sin!
However, her husband Li Ru desperately wanted to subvert the Han dynasty; Her father, Dong Zhuo, is one of the three traitors in China.
Therefore her husband and father died directly at my hands;
And most of her family, except for her daughter Li Yi, were slaughtered.
Now Dong Yuan, suffering from this great change, is already a great luck.
Gently put down the sleeping beautiful young woman and covered the futon, Liu Xie sighed.
After a cataclysm, some people will overeat, others will have suicidal thoughts, and some may become panicked and shout at the sight of people.
And Dong Yuan's performance is even more abnormal, drowsy・・・・・・
Perhaps, this is a good thing for her!
May her pain die in her sleep・・・・・・
Walking out of the main hall, looking at the clear night sky after the rainstorm, a cold wind hit, Liu Xie sighed in his heart.
This year, it is destined to be not peaceful!
First of all, a few years ago, more than a dozen princes opposed Dong; then Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City, turning the Sili area into ruins; Then there is the summer rain that lasts for several months, and the winter rain continues in the past two days, and the thunder is shaking!
This December!
There could be a big blizzard!
Liu Xie's heart was blocked, and he sighed with a sigh, Dahan is entering the middle of the cold period, which means that the next few decades will be the coldest period in the past six hundred years.
Earthquakes are frequent. Pestilence was rampant, droughts and floods continued, and locust plagues were raging.
If the preparation is insufficient, it is estimated that thousands of people will be killed and injured every year!
In the Hereafter. Liu Xie has seen some information about the population of the Han Dynasty.
At the time of Emperor Huan, there were nearly 60 million people, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Three Kingdoms Melee, when the three families returned to Jin, the population of the world was less than 10 million. It's about eight or nine million.
The people of the world, in a hundred years, there is not one in five!
Among them, there were natural disasters and rebellions, as well as troubles and massacres, and these factors combined to cause a drastic decline in the population.
"Whew~~~"
Liu Xie instantly felt that the burden on his shoulders was increasing sharply!
In the years to come, I will gather my people and prepare for the worst in the face of hunger and cold; At the same time, there will be countless princes openly and secretly. rebelled against the Han Court and wanted to shatter the world・・・・・・
"Hey~~~ The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop~~~"
The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty sounds majestic, but it is so difficult to do.
The affairs of the princes, Liu Xie had already made plans; At present, the most important thing to worry about is the fields and disaster prevention of thousands of his people.
Yes, Liu Xie is now directly under the subjects of the five counties, more than 10 million.
The land of three auxiliary counties originally had four or five million people;
Hongnong County, which belongs to the division. and two million people;
About two million people moved westward;
There is also Hedong County, where there are more than 2 million people.
And the five counties that Liu Xie actually controls at present, and the tens of millions of people under his command. Surely we can't suffer again!
Thinking of this, Liu Xie fell asleep, and once again threw himself into the study, preparing to make a disaster prevention manual for the Han Dynasty, which was used to guide officials in counties and counties across the country on how to prevent disasters and disasters.
Come and sit in the study. Liu Xie pondered.
Under Xiao Yi's full attack, the matter of Dutian in the five counties will almost kick off again, as long as Dutian is completed.
Then the next thing is to grant land, one husband and five people, and the well-off living standard of 100 acres of land will inevitably fall on the people of the Han family in the five counties.
But even if there is fertile land, if natural disasters continue and locust plagues are everywhere, then ****** will definitely appear.
Taking out a piece of brocade silk, Liu Xie wrote "Dahan Disaster Prevention Manual" on the back, and then picked up the pen and wrote.
First of all, the locust plague must be prevented.
Because once a locust plague occurs, a large number of locusts will devour the fields, so that the crops that the people have worked hard to grow will be completely destroyed, and then cause severe food loss, so that there will be famine due to food shortage.
As for the causes of the locust plague, Liu Xie still knows a thing or two.
The so-called locust plague is often accompanied by severe drought, and locusts tend to be water-loving and often migrate in groups from arid places to low-lying and flood-prone places.
During the Han and Han dynasties, there were 81 droughts, and almost every time they led to a major locust plague, resulting in a major famine.
For example, in the sixth year of Emperor Xiping, in summer and April, there was a great drought, and locusts rose in seven states;
In the fifth and sixth years of Guanghe, there were great droughts and locust plagues, and many people starved to death, and then the plague broke out;
Liu Xie still vaguely remembers that the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms in later generations recorded that from the first year of Xingping to the Jian'an period, in the past ten years, droughts have not stopped, and people have been cannibalistic.
And the time is three years later.
In other words, in three years, there may be more than ten consecutive years of severe drought weather・・・・・・
Therefore, the locust eradication strategy is another disaster prevention strategy that needs to be put on the agenda after the cold prevention.
Because the species that cause locust plagues are mainly locusts.
Locusts, on the other hand, mainly feed on crops, and there are many species, such as flying locusts, rice locusts, and bamboo locusts, which are the main pests of crops.
And to get rid of locusts, the first thing is to cure the roots!
Locusts are more suitable for spawning, which is low-lying land that is exposed after drought.
Because the soil is relatively solid, the water content is ideal for locusts to lay eggs; Moreover, the water content of plants grown in arid environments is low, and locusts feed on it, which grows faster and has high fertility; After reproducing in large numbers, they migrate explosively, moving from arid areas in groups to low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Therefore, the root cause lies in the fact that once there is a major drought year, the people should be mobilized to turn over the fields in the low-lying areas and burn all the white eggs.
This is the first step, and there are other means.
When the drought comes, in places where there are locusts, that is, low-lying places, more places can be used to build nests for birds, attract birds to settle down, and control locusts.
Liu Xie remembered that in the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded that tens of millions of white birds fed on locusts, and they ate all the locusts in one night, and the crops were spared damage.
It is also necessary to prevent over-killing of frogs and maintain the number of frogs in the field, because frogs are the natural enemies of locusts.
According to the fact that locusts mostly occur in low-lying places, Liu Xie suggested that the people should transform low-lying plots into ponds and raise fish and shrimp in the locust eradication strategy, so that the locusts can be greatly reduced, and locusts will be better controlled.
After writing down some methods of exterminating locusts in later generations, a three-foot-large brocade silk has been written. (To be continued.) )
