Minimizing risks and losses is something Li Hui can't guarantee.

"No one dares to guarantee this, why should you promise Your Majesty."

"It's not me who promised, it's my uncle Yuan Shoucheng, and His Majesty personally ordered it in the court."

Li Hui sensed Li Er's malice.

I've already told you how to deal with locusts, and you're asking me.

But think about it, there are too many locusts this year, even if all the people of the entire Datang Dynasty catch and eat together, it is more than 400 million, and they can't be caught or eaten.

And no one can guarantee how much food will be left in the fields after the locusts cross the border.

"In this way, I have a way to try, but this method may not work, let's use the dead horse as a live horse doctor for the time being."

Li Hui frowned and said.

Yuan Tiangang immediately became interested, "Li Hui, is this the case?" ”

Li Chunfeng laughed at this time: "National teacher, everything in the world has a fixed number, there must be more than one way, but the situation facing the Tang Dynasty today may only be this one, let's listen to what Hou Ye says." ”

When Li Hui heard it, there was a play, and I was afraid that Li Chunfeng had a good way.

"Mr. Li is confident, I'm afraid he already knows some methods, why don't you and I write them on paper?"

Li Hui smiled.

Li Chunfeng did not refuse, picked up the pen and began to write.

Li Hui's solution is simple: wormwood.

The two of them put down their pens almost at the same time, and stopped writing at the same time, and in an instant, they looked at each other and smiled.

I saw two words written on the paper of the two people, the same word: wormwood.

Li Hui smiled, "Hehe, there are natural enemies between this creature, last year when I knew that the locusts were coming, it was too late, although a lot of chickens, ducks and geese have been bred, they will take eating locusts as the only pleasure, but I'm afraid it's too late now." ”

"And now, the locusts have broken through the soil, what we can do is to let all the people use wormwood for control, when the locusts come, the wormwood is ignited, the locusts are most afraid of wormwood, so naturally they will stay away, as long as they can keep everything in the farmland, it doesn't matter if the bark in the mountains and forests is lost."

"What's more, if the locusts leave the plains and go to the mountains and forests, I am afraid that they will not return."

After Li Hui finished speaking, Li Chunfeng kept nodding.

"Hou Ye is really a person who knows the wisdom of the world, Li Chunfeng admires, if the locusts enter the mountains and forests, they will first be eaten by some animals in the mountains and forests, in the mountains and forests, the terrain is complicated, without the help of the wind, the locusts are afraid that they will not be able to fly far, and in the end they can only die in the mountains."

Yuan Tiangang's face flushed, he was also the most outstanding Taoist in Datang, why was the gap so big?

But it's normal, Yuan Tiangang studied all day and night about the national fortune and the general trend, while Li Chunfeng was practicing penance in the mountains, everything in the world, he had to think about it, understand the truth, and then use it to walk the world.

Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name, and Yuan Tiangang swept the dust, "Master Hou, let's do this!" ”

In fact, Li Hui also had no way, after preparing for so long, the time was still not enough.

You know, locusts were prevented a year ago, and there might have been a chance, but now, temporary cramming is useless.

We can only hope that there will be a lot of locusts smoked by wormwood, and the farmers will make the locusts more delicious.

One thing Li Hui can imagine, in the days to come, locust powder will become a seasoning in the daily life of the people of the Tang Dynasty, eating like chicken, with a fragrance, since Li Chengqian's three brothers mouthed, the children of the entire school are looking forward to the arrival of locusts.

In the evening, Li Hui looked up at the sky, the western sky, the blood-colored sun, with a kind of murderous aura, in the eastern sky, the gray mist seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen.

Lu Zushang listened to a few lectures today, and he couldn't wait to go up and give lectures.

Chen Xixiang let him rest easy, and the two are now reporting to Li Hui.

"Master Hou, the children are already ready to study for the next chapter."

"Yes, let's take an exam, this time the exam mathematics, physics, and literature are tested together, and each subject is set with a 100-point question, and the difficulty is moderate."

The monthly exam is about to start, and this will be the first exam of the Datang Shushan Academy.

One thing these children from peasant families don't know is that they will become the envy of most people in Datang in the future, and their experiences are legendary, full of incredible, and subvert the exploration that Datang has always learned.

And it all started with the first exam.

Lu Zushang listened to the conversation between the two from the sidelines, thinking thoughtfully from time to time.

In the middle of the night, Ma Zhou came.

"Master Hou, I made up a reason why the mill flour floated into the prison and exploded when it met the open flame, do you think this will work?"

Li Hui thought about it, this reason seems to be good, after all, this is a real physical reaction, and Ma Zhou is very rigorous in doing things.

"Okay, I believe that even if His Majesty asked the crown prince about this result, he would not doubt it."

"Mr. Ma Zhou, you have worked hard in this matter."

Ma Zhou scratched his head, "Master Hou, in fact, I thought it from the beginning, this Lu Zushang is not a heinous person, everyone knows the problem with his legs, and His Majesty also knows that in a place like Lingnan, if it is not really helpless, how can Your Majesty send him." ”

Li Hui handed Ma Zhou a cigarette, and the study was full of smoke, but when the breeze blew, it all drifted out of the window.

"Mr. Ma Zhou, in this matter, I don't think what you did was wrong."

"Your Majesty, he has made many mistakes in his own life, and I believe that he must have felt guilty about Lu Zushang's death in his heart."

Ma Zhou also strongly agreed, "I can hear that Your Majesty regrets it." ”

"That's right, people like Lu Zushang don't regret killing it, it's not normal. No virtuous monarch would kill such a person with his own hands. ”

Ma Zhou also sighed, "Your Majesty has been in a very bad mood for the past two days, and he has punished General Li Junxian many times, and General Li Junxian told me that if His Majesty punishes him again, his fortune will be gone this month." ”

Ma Zhou still didn't know what Li Er meant, and when he complained to Li Hui, Li Hui's eyes immediately widened.

"Isn't it? How else can you do that? ”

Li Hui smiled, this Li Er completely imitated those business bosses in later generations, and when the company was in a recession, he began to exploit his subordinates, such as checking food, checking positions, checking discipline, and thinking of ways to deduct from employees.

Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, wisdom is similar, perhaps, this is the power in genes.

Li Er's hand is also too dark.

"Mr. Ma Zhou, you have to be careful in the future, don't do anything wrong, otherwise your money will be gone soon."
