Locusts can be eaten, it is better to fry them, and they can also be roasted in a fire, will Fang Yun tell others about this?

Not to mention anything else, grinding the sun-dried locusts into powder, which is the best protein powder, and then selling it back to the army, is another big profit. Since you can make money, then it's good to earn it yourself, why share it with others?!

You must know that the treasury is not something that other Fang Yun can use casually, his current income is about 5,000 stone per year, plus some extra benefits or something. He has already begun to focus on reforming the payment of salaries, from grain to currency, but those officials are also hungry, so there is still a lot of resistance to implementation.

Even if one day, Fang Yun becomes the emperor, the treasury and the private treasury must be distinguished. The former is used to govern the country, and any emperor dares to use it casually, but he is afraid that he does not need his courtiers to oppose anything, as long as it spreads, the people of the world will rise up to denounce it; The latter is the emperor's private income, which is the part that the imperial family can use.

It's not just Fang Yun, can the other officials all live on their own money? Maybe those who are willing to be poor can, but more people come from families, and they need a family-level life. To do this, they needed to raise some maids and servants, and then buy a carriage, and even a small mansion, which they could not support with a little money.

So they don't usually show up, but the family or the wife's side will go out to do business and earn enough money. In this regard, it doesn't make a difference whether it is Fang Yun, a family, or even a royal family.

For this reason, Fang Yun didn't plan to share it with them, after all, this was the wealth he had gained in exchange for his knowledge.

But then again, it's only January 194 AD, and the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar are not the same, so it's still winter, and it's at least a month before spring arrives. According to the lunar calendar, it is now the middle of December of the fifth year of Guang'an, less than 15 days before the Spring Festival in January.

Rao is like this, the weather is still very cold. At least Fang Yun felt that it was much colder than the future winter, just for this era, this winter was warmer than before.

At this time, the only thing they can do. It's just to do publicity, issue early warnings, and then turn over the fields or something. After all, there is no shadow of this locust, and it is naturally impossible to prevent or control anything.

There was one thing that made Fang Yun really feel it. The locusts are coming. That is the system, the system has given this year's main task, and it is also the main task triggered by this event: "The main task - to exterminate locusts, the great locust plague in Xingping is about to break out, this locust plague can be regarded as a catastrophe for the Chinese people, a large number of people starved to death, and even Cao Cao had to supplement military food with human flesh because of the lack of food."

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou are all affected by the locust plague. For each locust plague extinguished in a state, Charisma and Intelligence will be increased by 2 points, and the Silver level will be drawn 1 time. All extinguished within a year. then you will get an additional +10 points for all attributes, and 2 gold-level draws! ”

This task is actually very difficult, after all, he can't manage the four prefectures and counties of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou. If the princes do not respond to his warning to exterminate the locusts, then they may not be able to extinguish them all within this year. Therefore, the focus should still be on the work of exterminating locusts in the prefectures and counties under his rule.

Since this action is related to his actual interests, if he dares to stop in front of him, then don't blame himself for being rude! In fact, if there is really that kind of existence that does not know what to say, then even if it is full of destruction, it will be considered deserved......

Earlier, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty hanged himself, and he also got two gold-level draws. It's good to be unlucky. One was drawn a very large amount of paddy, and the other was a cavalry transfer order.

The former is actually not too bad, at least it can be used to make rice, this kind of rice that has been systematically improved. The taste and yield are very good, but the problem is that the north of the Yellow River is not very suitable for growing this thing. He also has only one Xuzhou south of the Yellow River, but it is not very stable.

The latter is actually very entangled, how can this thing be gold-level? You must know that in the past, you only needed to complete the main quest, and you could directly get the Yellow Turban Army's transfer order; And after that, a bronze-level lottery has already appeared in the infantry transfer order. It's just that this cavalry transfer order requires a gold level to appear.

All right. This is not a problem, the biggest question now is, who should this transfer order be given to?!

The most suitable should be Chen Tao, after all, he has the characteristic of 'cavalry grandmaster', and he is the best at commanding cavalry battles. Others, such as Xie Ran, Zhou Cang, Yang Feng, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, also have the characteristics of 'cavalry is good at', some of them are attached to themselves, and some of them are fused with the martial souls saved during the previous crusade against Wuhuan, Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu.

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, he handed over this transfer order to Zhao Yun. For this reason, he had to come back from Xuzhou thousands of miles, in fact, he should also come back, after all, he still has to bring his daughter-in-law Mi back to meet his in-laws.

The transfer order is directly used by him, and two types of troops can be formed at the beginning, one is the light cavalry armed with swords and shields, and the other is the lancers armed with spears. The former has a certain defensive ability of the bow and arrow, but the attack range is much shorter; The latter has a longer attack range, and the transfer speed is also faster, and the defense is reduced.

Zhao Yun chose the lancers, and the troops that can be recruited at present are all LV1 troops. The experience of these soldiers will accumulate little by little as they train and fight, and finally at LV5 and LV10, they will be transferred to two different classes. Fang Yun also checked the system description by the way, only to find that this kind of cavalry LV10 can be transformed into a fierce iron cavalry, riding a heavy cavalry of a strange beast, the defense and formation breaking ability, and even the speed are simply reports, it is no wonder that it needs a gold-level lottery to come out.

The preparatory work in the early stage has been completed one after another over time, and the people are not disgusted with turning over the land they have contracted. Even if Fang Yun doesn't say it, they will turn it over once during spring ploughing, after all, the snow in winter makes the ground harden, and it is not suitable for sowing if it is not turned over, and it is not conducive to the growth of crops.

Newspapers and propaganda departments are also actively disseminating the work of locust prevention and pesticide, telling them the main causes of the locust plague and the key points to pay attention to, and even publishing the rewards announced by Fang Yun.

It's just that during this time period, there are naturally no locusts or anything, so the people have nowhere to get locusts if they want to. However, they have already learned from the propaganda that there may be a large-scale locust plague this year, although they don't know how big it is, but it is conceivable that they can make a lot of money.

Especially when it comes to making money, it can also prevent insect pests, which is really a double win, and even the support of the other party cloud is stronger.

Fang Yun also told the other princes the news that there might be a locust plague this year, and also explained this matter in the newspaper, mainly hoping that through the merchants in these places, they could further tell them about this matter, at least if there was a problem, the people would be able to spontaneously organize themselves to fight the disaster, instead of waiting for these princes to come to the rescue.

As for the reactions of the princes, they were different.

Liu Bei believed it, and some measures were taken, but as for whether it would work, time could only explain everything.

Tao Qian and Gong Jing are Fang Yun's allies after all, and the fact that this report is very clear and the large number of data cited also improves its credibility. Therefore, the two places also dealt with it according to the above suggestions, and even announced Fang Yun's reward. I can't say that they will collect some of it themselves, but compared to Fang Yun, it is impossible to say that they are purely spending money to buy some prestige.

To say that they knew how to use dried locusts, then Fang Yun absolutely didn't believe it. But when the time comes, I will tell them appropriately to save them from losing money. This kind of thing that doesn't consume much by itself and can still earn favorability, it doesn't hurt to do it.

Cao Cao was also very concerned about this matter, and like Liu Bei, he had taken some measures, and even planned to learn from Fang Yun and use the money from his private treasury to buy a batch of dried locusts. Unlike Tao Qian, he believed that Fang Yun was not bought to invite names, obviously this dried locust should have other uses, but he still needed to study what the specific uses were.

At the same time, he was also considering whether to use this matter to lead the locust plague to the category of 'heavenly punishment', which had obvious benefits and would make the princes more legitimate and legitimate. But the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, if he encounters a locust plague in the future, he Cao Cao will not be able to say that it is just an ordinary disaster.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Cao decided to obediently deal with the locust plague, and the rest was none of his business. Don't support or oppose it, what the courtiers of the following family want to do, he just doesn't oppose or support!

Yuan Shu is actively preparing to fight with Sun Ce at this moment, to deal with the locust plague or something, he doesn't believe it. I only thought if this was Fang Yun's plan to delay the army, and planned to put all the princes' energy on this, so as to arrange the deployment of Xuzhou or something.

At this stage, his main goal is still Sun Ce, the anti-bone boy, the hatred value has been properly pulled, and it is estimated that unless he wins or loses with Sun Ce this year, he is afraid that he will not go north.

Sun Ce is also actively facing Yuan Shu's attack at the moment, he has just occupied Danyang County, many places are not stable, and even he is not guaranteed that he can always occupy this place. So for disaster prevention or something, naturally he doesn't pay attention to it, compared to any disaster prevention work, what he values more is whether he can fight with Yuan Shu, and it is best to defeat him or something.

There is one thing that he and Yuan Shu have in common, that is, they led the locust plague to the 'Heavenly Punishment'. Regarding Fang Yun's resentment, whether it was Sun Ce or Yuan Shu, he planned to suppress it when he had the opportunity. If there is a locust plague, it is naturally the best means of attack.

In such an atmosphere, the time came to the middle of February 194, according to the lunar calendar, this is the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Guang'an. (To be continued.) )

PS: Let the people eat locusts? It's not necessarily impossible!

But considering that various high-yield crops have begun to be cited, it is better to grind them into powder and sell them back into the army as protein powder than to eat locusts purely, which can make the protagonist make a fortune. In the final analysis, how many people think that the treasury is equal to Fang Yun's private treasury......
