In fact, it is also beneficial to pass on the medicinal effect of penny.

At least Liu Xuan, Shi Xie, Liu Biao and Liu Yan began to shift their eyes to the south, and even Liu Biao, who was not very keen on expanding his territory, began to prepare to conquer the barbarians in Jingnan.

These barbarians always stay in the deep mountains and old forests, relying on their familiarity with these places and the protection of smoke miasma. When there is a shortage of supplies, they go directly out of the mountains and forests and directly invade and plunder local counties. If you are killed, you will hide in the old forest, so that people are helpless.

The princes of these forces have tried to crusade against them, but the jungle warfare really does not have an advantage. In addition, many soldiers contracted malaria due to poor hygiene practices or lack of protective measures.

In the end, it was nothing to wipe out the whole army, and it was not a matter of one or two times. From that time on, more soldiers were so disgusted by going into the jungle that it was not surprising that they even bombed the camp because of it. This is also the main reason why the princes hate these barbarians who hide in the jungle but are helpless.

Fang Yun was very generous, and directly published the theory of the formation of the plague, as well as the isolation measures of the plague, and even the control methods of some major plagues through newspapers and periodicals. Then, with the business trip, almost all the people in the world have learned some means.

This time, with the publication of the usage of penny, not only did the malaria that caused people headaches have a nemesis, but most importantly, it also gave the princes the confidence to crusade against the barbarians in the south.

The interests of the forces mentioned earlier are actually in the south. As for Fang Yun, at most, there are bordering parts of the Hanzhong region under Liu Yan, and there is no direct intersection with the others.

Besides, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Miao themselves are clansmen, and they are not very keen on crusading against Fang Yun. On the contrary, as long as they can be their soil emperor with peace of mind, then it will be fine!

Compared to Fang Yun, those barbarians in the south gave them a headache, and this was what they really needed to pay attention to.

Without their direct participation, the coalition launched by Yuan Shu shrank a lot. While food and military supplies can be obtained, it is clear that the cost is out. It's a bit higher than before. On top of that, it was almost impossible to expect these princes to directly send troops to cooperate with them in their crusade against Fang Yun.

Spring ploughing has ended, and summer has begun to gradually approach.

Fang Yun's side has already begun to discuss specific reform measures. And preliminary propaganda has already been carried out. In response to the various questions from the feedback below, it also took several issues of newspapers and periodicals to answer. For this reason, the newspapers and periodicals in those issues were much thicker, so that the people who bought the newspapers and periodicals fully felt the sincerity of the government. There is also the strength of reform.

As for whether the reform will really get better, everyone has their own ideas.

Some families feel that the reform is very good, and there will be more vacancies in official positions, and it is impossible to say that the children of their own families can mix with official positions, at least with a so-called 'civil servant'.

Some families feel bad, especially the county ordinances in various places, and their authority will be divided a lot according to the reform. Basically, as long as you have felt the taste of power, you will not like your power to be taken away.

However, even if it is useless to complain, it is clear that the reform will continue. No one would be stupid enough to be in the way. Since ancient times, those who stand in the way of reform will not end well, unless they really feel that this reform is not good, and then they must stop it.

Is reform bad? Jinyang has been conducting local experiments for several years, and it has been proved that the government's administrative efficiency has improved a lot. The only problem is that spending has increased, and there has been an increase in the supervision of officials, who are not so good at it.

But if you object to this...... It is estimated that there is no need for others to say anything, the people below will do it first, they will scold a bloody dog. What about the grievances in my heart, this is not something that can be said on the surface.

The key point of the reform is that the number of wrongful convictions has declined, which has increased the people's trust in the government. Establishment of the Court. It also gives the people a place to directly sue the family or officials. For Wang Lei, who single-handedly established this judicial department, this is a political achievement that he can be proud of.

Since ancient times, in order to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, even the common people can sue the officials. If you lose, you will naturally die, and if you win, you will have to be exiled or confiscated. After all, the people are the people, and no matter how correct the reason, the fact that the ruling class is sued is in itself a provocation to the authority of officials.

If there is no punishment at all, will there be more people suing officials in the future? And so on. Does the credibility of the imperial court, as well as the deterrence of the people, still exist? The most critical point is that Shangguan is not allowed to drink a little wine, and he tunes with the concubine to make a poem? !

In the early days of the establishment of the court, in fact, many families still opposed it, and the excuse was just like the one mentioned above.

Fang Yun supports the establishment of the court, the meaning is very clear, he is from the Yellow Turban Army, and he doesn't know what the people are like? As long as you have food and clothing, you are almost satisfied. If such an easily satisfied person has to take the risk of suing an official or a family, it itself shows that there is something wrong with the official and the family.

In such a situation, it was said that a court session was necessary, and long before that, he had already been invited to tea by the supervision agency.

Besides, it is not just a casual lawsuit, and the people must collect enough evidence to do so. If there is no evidence, then it can only be regarded as a false accusation, and the false accusation is to sit back. Perhaps this will affect the degree of judicial fairness, but the problem is that the courts themselves are a department of the ruling class, and there is no way to avoid unfairness or anything from the beginning.

The only thing that can be done is to make everything 'relatively fair'.

Since the formation of classes, it has long been impossible to be fair between people. In fact, every living thing has never been fair since its birth. As people often say, 'there is no absolute freedom', they are all beings of the same level.

There are still two months to go before the official start of reform, and all departments have begun to prepare intensively. Just wait for the graduation of this class of college students, and then the reform will begin!

However, before we even started, there was another thing that caught everyone's attention. Not only Fang Yun's side, but the princes of the world have to pay attention to one thing, that is, the locust plague alert issued earlier!!

In late spring and early summer, the eggs of the locusts that have not yet died begin to hatch in the ground and grow into larvae of the locusts. Fang Yun worked hard here, turned over all the cultivated land, and froze a lot of insect eggs to death. But the land on the edge of the field, or other land, or even the insect eggs in the jungle, obviously can't be handled.

Ancient is different from modern. The level of development is not high, the suburbs have a wide area of forest cover, and the forest area is also very considerable.

This also means that the eggs in these places cannot be disposed of in the first place. If you want to deal with it. I'm afraid that the whole jungle will be burned down, or eradicated or something, which is obviously impossible!

In late spring, when summer is about to begin, locusts begin to appear in the fields.

At this time, locusts are still flightless larvae, but they can already start to eat crops or other plants. After a while, as the wings grow and there is a shortage of food, they will begin to migrate, and this is the real formation of the so-called locust plague.

When the time comes. The sky was full of locusts, and the black pressure was like a dark cloud. Everywhere they passed, there was no grass, and almost all of them ate it. After the locust plague, this year's harvest is naturally not to be expected, and the crops have been eaten by them.

If there is an accomplice, it is not nothing, that is, the dry weather. Since last year, there hasn't been much rain, and this year's rain is even more insufficient, if it weren't for the water conservancy facilities on Fangyun's side, it would not be bad. I'm afraid that many places will be completely short of water.

Drought slows the growth of plants and even kills. Lacking food, the locusts had to make large migrations in search of more food to feed their stomachs. In the case of eating and drinking, it begins to enter the next generation of complex. Colonization stage. When the time comes, more eggs will appear in various places.

When will it end? Perhaps one year when it got cold, the eggs froze to death, at least most of the eggs, so that most of the locust larvae born were killed by their natural enemies. The ecology can return to normal, right?!

Since the early warning has been issued this year, there is a lot of concern about this matter everywhere.

With the hatching of the locusts, the local prefectural orders have begun to kill the locusts according to the original precautions. Strictly speaking, it is caught, dried and sent to Jinyang. Fang Yun had promised that he would pay 3 yuan per catty of locusts.

It is true that locusts in the larval stage do not weigh much, but they can be sold for money. In one day, nearly 1,000 catties were caught in various places, and many of them were caught by ordinary people who went deep into the jungle, and there were also many locusts in them.

Not counting fractions, this batch will cost 3,000 yuan, almost three dollars. Don't be too little, this is enough for an ordinary family of three to make do with it for a year.

Not to mention, this is only the first batch, and by the arrival of the second batch, the number has increased to more than 5,000 catties. By the time of the fifth batch, the size of the locusts had increased significantly, which made the weight further increase to about 30,000 catties.

This also means that the locust plague is getting closer.

By the time of the seventh batch, the weight had reached about 100,000 catties, but the size was uneven. Fang Yun inquired about this, only to know that these locusts were all transported from the south.

Obviously, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both intend to make some extra money......

But it doesn't matter, Fang Yun is the more, the better. After sending people to grind it into flour, it was mixed into the dish, and more than a dozen people of different occupations were specially sent to taste it, and even they had to eat a meal of charcoal-roasted locusts every day.

A few days later, it became clear from the data that the ten people who had taken the locust meal and had eaten the roasted locusts. Even if they came from different occupations and backgrounds, they all gained weight, and even one of the skinny refugees began to have some flesh on his body.

The conclusion is that locust powder is very protein-rich and can be considered for procurement as a munitions.

In fact, more often than not, the locusts are procured by the army before they are ground into powder. As long as you get through the initial mental and physical rejection, you will be addicted to it.

Now, this is actually the case in Fang Yun's army, and locusts are starting to sell well.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that there were people who started to steal business! Even if it was expected, it was helpless...... (To be continued.) )

PS: The locust plague has begun, but all preparations are already in place, and this locust plague does not pose a threat to Fang Yun!
