18 Exterminating locusts (ask for recommendations, favorites)
ps: Today's recommended ticket to 200 will be added tomorrow
Thinking about the tattered appearance of the fiefdom before, and then looking at the current fiefdom, Liu Hong felt quite proud when comparing the two sides. In just two years, the fiefdom has changed a lot in the case of being as low-key as possible, which is also a big achievement.
I haven't been to the fiefdom for two years, Liu Hongzuo looked at it again and again, and felt that everything was fresh.
"The fiefdom is well built, it seems that I will come to see it often in the future."
The fief is not far from the Hou Mansion, and it stands to reason that Liu Hong should not come to the fiefdom for two years. In fact, Liu Hong also wanted to play in the fiefdom without anything, but because such a academy was built on the fiefdom, Liu Hong lost all interest.
Liu Hong has no opinion on the academy itself, and this academy was also built by his order. Since the academy admitted the children of nearby villagers for free, it also won a great reputation for the Hou Mansion.
The reason why Liu Hong did not come to the fiefdom was mainly because after the academy was built, Liu Hong Dong and wanted Liu Hong to study in the academy.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Mrs. Dong's thoughts are also understandable.
However, Liu Hong didn't think so, and when he heard Mrs. Dong's request, Liu Hong pursed his lips and said in his heart: "Let me go to study, what kind of international jokes!" In my last life, I have been reading for more than ten years, and I have long been tired of reading, and now I am asked to study, and there is no door! Besides, in this life, I want to be the emperor, and I don't want to take the top exam, just recognize the words, just know the meaning, and use my strength to study. ”
The reason why Liu Hong is so reluctant to read is all because of the resentment left by reading novels on the Internet in his previous life, and now it is suddenly stimulated by Mrs. Dong's proposal.
In Liu Hong's view, reading and learning is just a tool that can make his future life better. Therefore, it is necessary to set goals before learning, and you cannot study for the sake of learning.
You see in ancient times, how clear the goals of those scholars were, studying for the imperial examination, in order to become officials in the future. Later people, the goal of learning is also clear, the city is to assign a good job. In the countryside, not only in order to get a good job, but also to get an urban hukou, they fled the countryside.
But later, the work is no longer assigned, the urban hukou is no longer valuable, and people's learning goals are not clear. I only know how to study, I don't know what I am studying for, no matter whether it is useful or not, I have to go to university, and I don't look at my actual situation at all. It's like if you don't go to college, you can't become a talent, and if you don't go to college, you won't be productive. Even if you know that after you finish college, you won't be able to find a job if you don't work hard for your father, but you can't change this idea.
Although Liu Hong is not used to this situation, after all, he can learn a lot of knowledge in school, whether this knowledge is useful or not, it is always a good thing. And those who have a diploma can always get more opportunities than those who don't have a diploma, and it can't be said that people are doing something wrong, but those novels are all about fun.
If you look at those novels on the Internet, how many of them are not in school? No matter whether it is reasonable or not, whether it is useful or not, you must go to school. If you get rich, you go to school again, you have to be reborn, you have to go to school, if you get alien high-tech, you have to go to school, if you cultivate the truth, you have to go to school, even if you have crossed over, you have to go to school when you go to another world.
If you want to go to school, you can go to school, but no matter who they are, once they enter the school, they hardly stay in the school, except for paying a large amount of tuition to the school, they have little to do with the school. Liu Hong wondered, what are you doing in school like this, and you don't study, do you go to school just to pick up girls?
Such novels, one or two, Liu Hong can still tolerate it. However, the Internet is full of such books, which will inevitably make Liu Hong resentful, and it will directly make Liu Hong resistant to going to school. In order to protest Mrs. Dong's decision, Liu Hong did not even go to the location of the academy.
This is also due to the fact that in the Han Dynasty, the imperial examination system had not yet appeared, and although reading was important, it was far from reaching the level of later generations. And the status of women is quite low, and they can't be a family at all, even a marquise is no exception. The real owner of the Hou Mansion has long been confused by Liu Hong, so he doesn't go to school, and no one forces him. If he dared to make such a rebellious decision in the future life, the result would be really hard to say.
Liu Hong thought as he walked, and after a while, he came to the crop field.
"There are a lot of grasshoppers in the field, and there are dozens of them in one square of the field, and if they are allowed to develop, this locust plague will definitely take shape." Looking at these locusts, Liu Hong kept pondering, "This won't work, I have to think of a way." ”
This is not Liu Hong's careless kindness, although the people are pitiful, but with his family background, even if it is not what it used to be, how many people can he help.
But it won't work if you let it go, the world will be his from now on. And according to the history books of later generations, the locust plague has occurred almost every year since then, and Liu Hong can't let it develop, otherwise he will be unlucky in the end. So he must find a way to deal with the locust plague.
Moreover, this locust plague is the only natural disaster that can be actively eliminated. If even this Liu Hong can't solve it, then he won't be even more out of luck with other disasters.
"If you want to eradicate locusts, this era can only be caught by people. And if you want people to catch locusts, the most effective way is to rely on lure! ”
Thinking of this, Liu Hong gave an order. Inform all the people in the vicinity that the Hou Mansion will exchange grain for locusts, and three catties of locusts for one catty of grain, and how many will be exchanged for how much.
As for what to do after the locusts are exchanged, Liu Hong also has enough consideration. Let's not mention that the locusts themselves are delicious and can be sold as a dish. Even if no one eats it, making it into feed is also an option.
Liu Hong built an ecological farm, which was quite large. Not to mention the dozen or so farms in other states, even this farm in the river is amazing.
The reason why the ecological farm is called the ecological farm is that its ecology is balanced, and there is a nearly complete biological chain in the whole farm, so the farm raises large flocks of chickens and ducks.
And thanks to the advent of ondols and simple thermometers, the farm can already artificially hatch chickens and ducks. As long as Liu Hong is willing, in a short time, there will be a large number of chickens and ducks on the farm, so Liu Hong is not afraid of how many locusts there are.
Even if there are too many locusts to be harvested, chickens and ducks can't eat them, Liu Hong can store them. After all, chickens and ducks always have to eat, even if there are no locusts, Liu Hong has to feed them with grain. Now three catties of locusts for one catty of grain will help Liu Hong save a lot of grain, which is definitely a win-win idea.
Moreover, Liu Hong's family has many restaurants, and Liu Hong can also make locusts into dishes and sell them in restaurants. Even if people don't recognize it for a while, people will gradually accept it over time. After all, locusts can become a famous dish in later generations, and it is impossible to completely fail to sell them in the Han Dynasty.
Hearing that the Hou Mansion exchanged grain for locusts, the people were all excited. In previous years, there was a plague of locusts, and this year's harvest is over. The young and strong can still go out to make a living, and the old and frail can only wait at home to die.
Now the Hou Mansion is exchanging grain for locusts, which can be regarded as leaving a way for everyone to live. Although losses are inevitable, there is no need to wait for death. This is a life-saving kindness, and in everyone's gratitude, they desperately promote the kindness of the Hou Mansion, which makes the Hou Mansion gain a great reputation.
