Chapter 377: Genius's Creativity
After entering the guest hall, Lu Sheng let Ji Yu sit on the main seat. Sit down on your own. But before he could speak, Ji Yu couldn't wait to speak.
"Lord Lu, the locust plague in Chuzhou is over, and the ban on the Eight Gates will be removed soon. But the difficulties in Chuzhou have only just begun.
Lord Lu was in the eyes of a lonely man before, and he was a capable minister who governed the country. After the ban on the eight gates is removed, the people will inevitably have the idea of fleeing. Lord Lu must stabilize people's hearts and appease the people. ”
"The minister understands that the follow-up president, the minister and He Taishou have discussed it in detail. It's just that...... The relief food that was supposed to arrive these days has not been heard from now?
Your Highness, isn't the efficiency of our court too low? This is still a plan made by the minister and He Taishou before, trying their best to buy food first. If you really wait for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, I am afraid that when the disaster relief food arrives in Chuzhou, what you will see will not be the people waiting to be fed, but skeletons all over the ground. ”
"The mobilization of disaster relief food is abnormal, Gu has already impeached the household department to his father a few days ago, saving people is like fighting fires, where is the people of Chuzhou so delayed? ”
"Your Highness, please speak. ”
This is Mr. Guo, who is a farmer, who used to be on duty in the household department, but because he did not want to flatter the official and went into hiding. He said that the winter food in Chuzhou is still saved, so he will be a middleman to introduce you to the two of you. ”
"Winter grain?"
Lu Sheng actually noticed this old man in green shirt from the beginning, but he didn't pay attention to him when he thought he was the servant of the fifth prince or something.
"Back to Lord Lu, the grass people returned to Chuzhou ten years ago, and although they were far away from the court, they never forgot what they had learned. In the past ten years, I have recorded the climate change in Chuzhou every day, and the grass people dare to assert that this year's cold snap will come very late. ”
"How late?"
"Even the wax moon should be like spring, and now it is the end of October, and the grass people estimate that there will be a heavy rain in Chuzhou in seven days. If the wheat is replanted before the heavy rains, it is very likely that the harvest will be made in time for the cold snap to arrive. But if you miss this rainstorm, it will be a drop in the bucket to rely on manual watering. It takes at least a month to complete the watering, and the best time for the wheat seed to germinate will be missed. ”
"Really?" asked Lu Sheng's surprise with the light in his eyes.
"The grass people are eighty percent sure, but ...... Harvest the autumn planting ...... before November It's incredibly difficult. ”
"There is difficulty, at least it is a road, otherwise even if there is more food, it will be difficult for Chuzhou to successfully survive the summer harvest next year, and the people can't be hungry for the New Year, right?"
"Lord Lu, I have already asked Mr. Guo before I came here, it is impossible to reclaim so much land in Chuzhou within seven days, relying on the people alone. There are tens of millions of acres of grain fields in Chuzhou, and in previous years, it took more than two months to cultivate them before planting, and then they had to be watered.
It would have been impossible to concentrate so much farming work in seven days. Before, I saw that Lord Lu was able to call on martial arts people to exterminate insects, but I wondered if he could call on martial arts people to help the people farm?
When the bureau is lonely, he will also mobilize the soldiers of the three towns of Chuzhou to plant as much as they can, and if they plant one acre, one more person can be saved. ”
Lu Sheng looked at Ji Yu with a wry smile and shook his head, "Let the Chuzhou heroes eliminate locusts, and it can be said that they will become the people's pest." But let them farm...... It's humiliating for them. Even if the minister puts the sword on their necks, at most he will get a sentence to kill, and he must scrape and listen to them. ”
"Really?" Ji Yu's face turned gloomy, "It seems to be a matter of course, but it is imperative to reclaim farmland and re-cultivate, even if it can only plant a million acres, it can save at least hundreds of thousands of people." ”
Lu Sheng looked at the expressions of the five princes who were worried about the country and the people, whether it was a show or sincerity, Lu Sheng's impression of Ji Yu changed greatly.
"Your Highness, since the Eight Gates Seal can isolate the entire Chu Prefecture, I wonder if it can have an attack array?"
"Although the eight-door ban is mainly a ban, there are still necessary means to resist the enemy, Lord Lu, what are you asking for?"
"Although the cost of reclaiming farmland with the military array is a bit large, since the military array has been sacrificed, there is no shortage of so many days. Why don't you use the army formation to reclaim the farmland in Chuzhou?"
"Military formation?" Ji Yu glared at Lu Sheng, using the military array to reclaim the land? This is really an ancient and unique idea, Ji Yu dares to guarantee that absolutely no one has thought of this in the past.
But...... Although Ji Yu is a prince, he is not a prince who can say why he doesn't eat minced meat, he has worked in the army for ten years, and he has endured hardships and fought in the fields.
Replanting is actually very simple, the locusts have cleaned up all the fertile fields, just plow all the grain fields, sprinkle wheat seeds, then water, and the rest is to water regularly according to the rising trend.
The biggest workload is to reclaim tens of millions of acres of land and then water it......
After thinking for a while, Ji Yu suddenly raised his head, staring at Lu Sheng with bright eyes and revealing an excited expression.
"Lord Lu is really anxious, and you solved the problem in an instant?"
After sending him away, Lu Sheng rushed to Taishou's Mansion overnight to inform Taishou of the plan to re-cultivate winter grain. The grain seed Taishou Mansion still remains, but it is not believed that the winter grain should be planted within seven days.
But after Lu Sheng handed over the plan to use the military array to reclaim the grain fields, He Xingzhi couldn't say anything other than shock.
How could Lu Sheng have such a whimsical idea? This method is really nothing to say, but no one has been able to think of it for thousands of years.
In their opinion, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate tens of millions of acres of land in seven days, and it is already a miracle to be able to cultivate one-tenth of it.
But under the mechanized agriculture in the previous life, as long as the machine was enough, it was not a matter at all to complete the cultivation in ten days. As for the substitute of mechanized production, Lu Sheng can only think of the military formation.
Overnight, the Taishou Mansion printed the announcement overnight, and that night, Lu Sheng ordered his subordinates to perform light skills to distribute the announcement to the thirty-six state capitals as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, the officials of the state capitals rushed out of the city gate and went to the subordinate counties, although the time varied, but the announcements were posted in time.
The scattered fields in Chuzhou were left to the people to concentrate on their own cultivation and cultivation, and the thousands of miles of grain fields were handed over to the military array for centralized cultivation. However, the bombardment method of the army was to bombard indiscriminately from the sky, so the people in the thousands of miles of grain fields had to be moved away immediately.
There are about 800,000 families in the grain fields. And these 800,000 households must leave immediately and go to the nearest city, and as for their belongings, they don't want anything. What is this loss compared to the rush to grow food?
The announcement was issued, and it took only one day for the people to evacuate. This speed even makes the people feel like they are in a dream. Like being driven away by ducks, the city guards were quickly retracted, and they left immediately with gold and silver and a change of clothes.
As for where to go, explain as you go. If you don't want to, then you can forcibly drag it away, and if you don't go, you have to go.
At dawn the next day, the people in the grain fields were all transferred by the 36 prefectures. Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, under the military order, Chuzhou's execution is faster than you can imagine.
While the people were still in the midst of the dream of seven days of replanting, the sky suddenly swelled with lightning and thunder.
Hanging over everyone's heads for almost a month, the gossip watermark array that the people had become accustomed to suddenly changed. The yin and yang fish in the middle rotated rapidly, and countless winds, thunderstorms, and lightning converged under the Bagua Array.
Hundreds of people took to the streets, and some even climbed the towers.
"Boom-"
With a loud bang, the sky cracked, and countless white lights fell from the sky like raindrops. The white light was like a rain of arrows, and it bombarded the grain fields on the ground fiercely, and the dense light hit the ground and exploded instantly.
Crackling -
Like the rapid sound of firecrackers, the ground in a radius of dozens of miles turned into a huge sieve as if it had been hit by a torrential rain.
After a round of bombardment, the white light disappeared. A figure flashed, and Lu Sheng and Mr. Guo appeared in the grain field bombarded by the army. The ground beneath your feet is as soft as cotton.
The martial arts of this era are indeed pure green and pollution-free energy, and they will not leave uncontrollable pollution on the land that they have plowed like in their previous lives. After the grain field has been plowed there are no impurities except for finely broken soil.
Mr. Guo pinched the soft soil and nodded vigorously at Lu Sheng, "Lord Lu is really through heaven and earth, and he can come up with such a method, and in an instant, dozens of miles of grain fields seem to have undergone three reclamations. The soil has been shattered, and it is ready to be sown. ”
After getting the answer, Lu Sheng's heart finally felt relieved. When he came to Mr. Guo's side, with his figure flashing, he had rushed into the sky like a wild goose and disappeared.
Lu Sheng set up the cultivation command center in Bai Ze Mansion, and when Lu Sheng returned to Bai Ze Mansion, the second reclamation of the military array had already begun.
"Immediately send an order to the surrounding seventeen prefectures, immediately distribute wheat seeds, and immediately organize the people to sow seeds. ”
"Isn't the military formation still dropping knives now? Isn't it drilling under the knives to sow seeds at this time?" asked the prefect of Bai Zefu suspiciously.
"Stupid pig! The army will work day and night, and by the time the order is given to the people to carry the wheat seeds to the wheat fields, the grain fields are already half cleared. We are now in a hurry to sow all the grain fields within seven days. ”
These days, the people of Chuzhou feel like they are in a dream, and everything that is happening around them is beyond their comprehension.
The government suddenly moved them out of their homes where they had lived for generations, and suddenly told them to go to the government to collect wheat seeds to be cultivated.
What are you kidding? It's already October, and before the ears of wheat grow, the seedlings have to freeze to death.
Moreover, even if you want to cultivate, you must first plow the land and loosen it, because it is impossible for good wheat seedlings to grow on hard soil. The people who have been farming for generations have inherited the experience of their ancestors.
However, the government's order has been issued, even if they know that it is a broken jar, and the people of Chuzhou have the consciousness of life and death to look down on life and death, and do it if they are not satisfied. After all, all their hopes had been shattered in this locust plague. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
When he was led back to the farmland by the lieutenant chief, all the people were dumbfounded by the land in front of him? What is the situation? It is obviously a barren land, and it is obviously a messy farmland after the locust plague has been raging, how can it ...... How did it become a cultivated grain field?
