The matter of the locust plague was almost discussed, so everyone had time to think about other things. Coincidentally, everyone thought of the same question - how could Tian Fan know this?

Chen Deng was young, and he couldn't hold back his words, he hugged his fist to Tian Fan and asked, "Mr. Tian, Deng has something unclear, please advise!" Although everyone is from Xuzhou, but six years ago, when Tian Fan was a little kid, Chen Deng was already out of office, and the two had limited communication, he really didn't know Tian Fan, and he hadn't heard of Tian Fan's extraordinary ability. Now, when I heard what he said, I couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart, so I spoke first.

Tian Fan was a little dizzy, he knew Chen Deng's ability, he knew a lot from the romance, and he heard a lot about it in this era, he hurriedly returned the salute and replied: "Mr. Wenlong, you don't have to call me sir, just call me by my name like an envoy!" Well, sir, please talk about something, I can't talk about advice, let's just discuss it together! ”

Chen Deng smiled at Tian Fan kindly, and shook his head again, he didn't dare to put himself on a par with Tao Qian. He asked, "I just wanted to ask Mr. Tian where did he know these methods?" ”

Tian Fan is in trouble, he can't say that he is from the next generation, and he knows a lot of things that you don't know, right? Chen Deng saw that Tian Fan was a little hesitant, as if he was unable to speak, thinking that Tian Fan was unwilling to speak, and said: "If Mr. Tian is unwilling to say, then even if I didn't say hello!" "How did he know that Tian Fan was thinking about how to make it up?

Tian Fan hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Mr. Yuanlong, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I don't know if these methods have any effect, and I also listen to what others say." ”

Chen Deng was surprised and asked, "Oh? Do I still have such a talent who understands farming? Who is that? ”

Tian Fan scratched his head in embarrassment and replied, "Mr. Yuanlong, I don't know who it is." It was an old man I met three years ago when I went out hunting in the city, and I talked about it when we were chatting! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Mr. Tian, didn't you ask his name?" ”

Tian Fan replied: "Xuande Gong, you can call me Tian Fan like Tao Envoy, I really can't afford the title of Mr. Tian." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Mr. has great talent, so he can't be prepared!" The sages said that those who reach are teachers! I, Liu Xuande, have been a little abrupt about Mr. Tian's non-teaching ceremony, so what about calling Mr. "Liu Bei has always been such a person, he pays the most attention to the discovery and use of talents, he can put down his body and make friends with people who are not as good as himself, which is also an important reason why he encounters many setbacks and the hearts of his subordinates are not scattered!

Tian Fan replied: "Xuande Gong, I really didn't ask his name, we just talked about it when we were chatting!" Liu Bei clearly showed a look of disappointment.

Tian Fan looked at Tao Qian, Liu Bei and the others, and said cautiously: "Envoy, Xuande Gong, there is another thing I don't know whether to say or not!" ”

Tao Qian and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and Tao Qian said, "Tian Fan, if you have something to say!" ”

Tian Fan said: "Yes, envoy." I would like to ask you both, do we want to tell other states about these methods? ”

When Tao Qian and Liu Bei heard this, they glanced at each other again, and said to Tian Fan: "Tian Fan, if you have something to say!" ”

Tian Fan said: "The occurrence of the locust plague cannot be just my Xuzhou. Last year's warm winter, this year's drought, the situation in the Central Plains states is similar, so ......"

Tian Fan was about to continue when he was interrupted by Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei said, "Tian Fan! What are other states about us? It's good if there is a locust plague in other states, they will be out of food this year, and we can recuperate for one more year! Isn't Cao Mengde bullying us enough? Do you want him to hit us again? ”

Everyone in the hall instantly understood what Tian Fan meant, and their reactions were different, Guan Yu and Cao Bao and other generals echoed, and Cao Bao said: "That's it, General Yide is reasonable." I think that Cao Mengde has been beating us for the past two years, haven't you been beaten enough? Did you tell them that they would have food to continue to fight us? Mi Zhu Mi Fang looked at Tian Fan with a confused expression, they didn't understand Tian Fan's thoughts, but they would support him. And Chen Qun and Jian Yong nodded slightly. …,

Looking at Tao Qian's expression, he knew that he agreed with Zhang Fei and Cao Bao's statement, while Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan expressionlessly, waiting for Tian Fan to continue.

Tian Fan motioned for everyone to be quiet and continued: "Everyone listen to me first!" First of all, the locust plague is a natural disaster, it will not vary from person to person, it will not Cao Mengde beat us, he will be punished more severely, it is fair, as soon as the locust plague comes, the princes everywhere can collect more taxes, and it is the ordinary people who starve to death! The people are innocent! Jian Yong and Liu Bei already nodded when they heard this, after all, Liu Bei is benevolent, Jian Yong is a loyal elder, and the two of them will not ignore the life and death of the people. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang nodded slightly in agreement.

"Second, even if Cao Mengde beats us, what about Kong Beihai? He helped us! Looking at this year's situation, the locust plague in Qingzhou is only afraid that it is heavier than us! Can we see death without saving? This time Zhang Fei and Tao Qian also began to nod, after all, Tao Qian remembered Kong Rong's kindness to him.

"Thirdly, if only our state exterminates locusts, and other states do not exterminate locusts, then who dares to guarantee that locusts in other states will not spread to us? You must know that locust swarms move with the wind, and they can travel thousands of miles in a day! Who can guarantee that no wind will blow to us from other states? As soon as these words were finished, everyone was speechless!

Tao Qian shook his head with some annoyance, and said, "However, it's a pity to see that an opportunity to restrain Cao Apu was given up like this!" Hey, hard, hard, hard! "Tao Qian has three difficulties in a row, it seems that he is embarrassed!

Tian Fan looked at Tao Qian and then at Liu Bei, and said: "Tao Envoy Jun, Xuande Gong, Cao Mengde has just attacked Xuzhou twice, with the two of you understanding Cao Mengde, do you think he will believe it if we tell him these methods?" Tao Qian and Liu Bei suddenly realized, yes, Cao Heizi is suspicious by nature, and after the two attacks on Xuzhou, Liu Bei Tao Qian and him can be said to be immortal, they are all his enemies, this guy believes that there are ghosts!

Tao Qian stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Tian Fan, Tian Fan, I didn't expect you to have the talent of a military advisor!" It seems that I want to recruit you as the captain of this army! Hahaha......"

Liu Bei's eyes were amazingly bright, and he bowed to Tian Fan and said, "Mr. Tian is really talented!" I will definitely go to Mr. Tian's house another day to listen to the teachings! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly shook his hands and said in a panic: "Xuande Gong praised it, everyone in the hall has great talents, I am just a yellow-mouthed child, I can't take it seriously!" "He's really afraid of being appointed as a military advisor!

Everyone smiled and nodded, Zhang Fei and Cao Bao laughed, after all, it is a happy thing for someone to praise themselves. Everyone looked at the humble Tian Fan and felt that it was pleasing to the eye, people who have the ability and don't have much temper are always welcome. Tian Fan continued: "Continuing the topic just now, well, Cao Mengde shouldn't believe it, Kong Beihai should believe it, Yuan Highway is a person, he is from the biggest, it is estimated that he will not believe it, and we can't reach other forces, when our messenger arrives, maybe the locusts will fly!" Now it is mainly time to consider the problems on both sides of Cao Mengde and Yuan Highway.

On the one hand, we will inform Cao Mengde and Yuan Highway that there will be a locust plague and let them take precautions, and on the other hand, Mr. Chen Hanyu, Mr. Chen Yuanlong, Mr. Mi Zizhong, and General Cao Zhonghong (Cao Bao, who made it up by themselves) will respectively inform the families and heroes who have a close relationship with you in these two states and let them take precautions. As for the rest, we can't do anything about it! …… That's all we can do! "In ancient times, the influence of local wealthy families in the local area was often higher than that of the imperial court, and officials often had to get their support to implement a word, which is also the fundamental reason why every official must have a good relationship with the local clan after taking office! …,

Several people nodded, in fact, even if Tian Fan didn't say it, everyone would go to inform the families they were familiar with, on the one hand, they were really afraid that the locusts would come from other places, and on the other hand, they could also strengthen the connection with other families, benefiting others and themselves, why not?

After Tian Fan finished speaking, he saluted Tao Qian and Liu Bei and said: "Envoy, Xuande Gong, I have overstepped a little below, forgive me!" Is there anything else you would like to add? ”

Tao Qian waved his hand, "Very good, just do as you say!" We don't have any opinions! When the matter was finished, the people went their separate ways.

Tian Fan returned home and told the old man and the old lady about the current situation and Tao Qian's arrangements for him. The old couple expressed their understanding and told him to take care of his health. In the evening, Tian Fan went to Mi's house again to say goodbye to Mi Zhen. Looking at Mi Zhen's reluctant eyes, Tian Fan almost wanted to say no! But in the end, I held back, after all, it was what mattered. talked to Mi Zhen, told her that he would be back soon, would bring her gifts, and finally a little story made Mi Zhen laugh. Hey, it's tiring to have a daughter-in-law, isn't it?

In the next two months, Tian Fan has been very busy, following Mi Zhu and Jian Yong to inspect various places and guide the extermination of locusts. In addition to the busy things, there are two things worth mentioning, one is that during the inspection, Tian Fan's every meal, will ask the local officials to prepare a dish related to locusts, from locust eggs to locust larvae to adults, every meal must be eaten. He also asked the members of the inspection team to eat together, at first Mi Zhu and Jian Yong were a little afraid to eat, and later they also followed Tian Fan to eat locusts. As the inspection progressed, the two also discovered the benefits of eating locusts, that is, no matter how tired they were on the first day, as long as they ate locusts the night before, they would still be in good spirits the next day.

Later scientific research proved that locusts contain a lot of protein, fat, various amino acids and minerals, and indeed have the effect of enhancing physical fitness. It's just that I can't tell them about it, as long as they can experience the benefits. Driven by Tian Fan, driven by the members of the inspection team, there will be a wave of locust eating craze everywhere, and after Tian Fan left, this craze did not retreat, and then gradually formed the habit of Xuzhou local people to eat locusts, and locusts have tragically become a must-have delicacy for Xuzhou people to entertain guests in summer and autumn.

Another thing is that when inspecting the territory of Pengchengguo, he suddenly encountered a tiger, this poor tiger is estimated to be hungry and crazy, and he ran out to commit murder, but he did not expect to meet Tian Yitian and two two-meter-tall perverts, who tortured the tiger to death with their bare hands. This is a crime in the afterlife, Tian Fan thought!

June. Changcheng County is located in Fufeng County, Yongzhou, thirty or forty miles away from Wugong County. The small county town is very small, with about 3,000 households and less than 20,000 people. The north of the county is close to Luogushui, and the south of the city is Luogu, there are mountains and rivers, it is a good place. As the saying goes, most of the people in the county not only serve the crops in the farmland, but also fish and hunt in their spare time. The land of Sanfu is located in the northwest, although it is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, it should have a pleasant climate, but the vicissitudes of the sea, to the Han Dynasty, the climate here has been much worse than before.

Tang Chen is a man in his fifties, known as the old Tang Tou, who is well-known in Changcheng County for his good hunting skills. He is very good at archery, and most of the prey he shoots directly hits the eye, without the slightest damage to the fur, so his prey is the most popular. This year's drought was severe, and the grain in the field could not be counted on, so the old man Song took his two sons and a little grandson to Luogu to hunt and subsidize the family.

Due to the drought, there were very few large prey, and they often caught only small prey such as rabbits, so they did not carry bows and arrows, but chose to take a cover. The sleeve is very simple, requiring only a tough hemp rope and a few straw poles to hold the hemp rope. Fix one end of the hemp rope, tie the other end into a special live buckle, the size can accommodate the rabbit's head to pass through, and the body can not pass, with a straw pole to support it into a circle, set it up, and place it in the place where the hare often haunts. After the hare hits the rope buckle in the run, the inertia generated when it runs will make it unable to stop immediately, in this way, the live buckle of the rope is pulled by the hare, and it becomes tighter instantly, and the rabbit can not run away, if the rabbit runs too fast, the violent pull can even break the rabbit's neck. …,

The three grandchildren are under the condom, and the little grandson is playing behind the buttocks. The eldest son, Tang Xian, is twenty-four or five years old this year, and the hardships of life make him sensible early and very steady, he asked Lao Song Tou: "Father, when will this drought end?" Old Song Tou looked up at the cloudless sky, sighed and said, "Who knows this?" The second son, Tang Feng, who was just twenty years old, listened to his father and brother's words, and interjected: "There is a drought on this day, not to mention that the crops in the farmland are not good, even the prey has become less!" Hey, if it doesn't rain again, how will you survive this winter! When Tang Chen and Tang Xian heard this, they were silent, yes, if the drought continues, I am afraid that this winter, there will be few people left!

At this time, the little grandson suddenly shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, look, what is that?" When the old Tang heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by the little grandson, and his eyes never turned away...... To the west, locusts that obscured the sky flew over......

In late June of the first year of Xingping in the Han Dynasty, a large-scale locust plague occurred in the Central Plains, and large areas of Sanfu, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou were affected. Three auxiliary food 500,000 yuan per Hu, cannibalism, piles of bones. With the concerted efforts of local officials and the common people, the plague in Xuzhou and Qingzhou was effectively controlled, and the locust plague did not have much impact, while Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou were greatly affected, among which Yanzhou was the most severely affected. Because of the locust plague, Lü Bu and Cao Cao ran out of food, so they had to stop the war between the two sides and retreat. It is said that Cao Cao scolded when he learned of the locust plague on the battlefield, and he also dropped his favorite piece of jade. When Yuan Shu learned the news, he looked at his number one strategist Yang Hong very embarrassedly, and couldn't say a word for a long time
