"

"You...come back to me!"

Seeing that Zhu Lu was so sincere, Zhu Xun was dumbfounded and shouted quickly.

As a result, Zhu Lu had already wandered into the Wu house gate on his own. Zhu Xun even called him several times but turned a deaf ear and could only wait outside the door with anxiety...

After a while.

When Zhu Lu came out again, he had a look of joy on his face and handed the tips bag to Zhu Xun generously: "Brother Youcai said that you can read the tips bag in advance. He also said that if my father is interested, he can also

Let's check it out together, and then my father can give me a helping hand and help me get through the difficulties."

"?"

After hearing this, Zhu Xun became confused.

Wu Liang's words obviously had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't understand what it meant at all, so he had to quickly open the bag and unfold the piece of silk wrapped inside to examine it carefully.

At this glance, Zhu Xun discovered that Wu Liang really had a plan in his bag, and there were two clever tricks:

The first strategy is called "Fire Trapping and Killing Method", and it only contains a few sentences: "Locusts can fly. If they see a fire at night, they will definitely fly. If you set a fire in the field, dig a pit beside the fire, and bury them while burning, you will definitely be able to survive."

."

The second strategy is called "The method of exchanging locusts for millet", and the content is also only a few sentences: "Order the people to catch locusts and exchange one dou of millet for each liter. The more the better."

"This is?"

Zhu Xun was even more confused.

He naturally understood what these two tips meant. They were teaching Zhu Lu how to deal with the locust plague.

Zhu Xun naturally knew about the locust plague. A large-scale locust plague broke out every few years in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had experienced countless locust plagues in his life, and each time was a human tragedy with no harvest and starving people everywhere.

But this "locust extermination thing" was something he had never heard of.

Just because people at this time did not have a clear understanding of the locust plague. As the saying goes, "The punishments are cruel, the greed is insatiable, the army mobilizes the people, the city is built, and the people lose the hearts of the people, and the locust plague becomes a disaster." People regard the locust plague as a disaster.

This kind of punishment from heaven is an irreversible "natural disaster". Instead of actively managing it, they even choose to lie down in the Buddhist system.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that this idea of ​​lying down was finally broken. Prime Minister Yao Chong took the lead in proposing the "fire trapping method" written by Wu Liang in his brochure, and finally achieved some results.

However, this method can only be implemented at night. Although it is effective, a large number of crops are still damaged.

So in the Song Dynasty, another effective locust extermination method appeared, which was what Wu Liang called the "locust-for-millet method", which mobilized the people's enthusiasm for locust extermination to fight the locust plague.

The power of the whole people to actively exterminate locusts is very terrifying. Just like foodies in later generations can eat a species to extinction in a short period of time, now there are hungry people everywhere, and the "locust-for-millet" method will naturally become more powerful.

Due to its appeal, those hungry people would not care about the so-called "natural disaster". It is estimated that it can directly kill people crazy. It can be regarded as a powerful supplement to the "fire trap killing method".

This is the clever tip Wu Liang left to Zhu Lu.

He knew that if it had been anyone else, this matter might not have been possible.

Firstly, they may not be willing to comply due to the ideological influence at this time; secondly, it is estimated that no one is willing to provide the food needed to carry out the "locust-for-millet method".

But Zhu Lu is different.

He has listened to Wu Liang's advice, and he is a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt. He will definitely act according to the advice without any mistakes.

As for the grain required for the "locust-for-millet method".

In fact, anyone with a little foresight can figure out that as long as the crops are saved, the harvest will definitely be much more than the food paid during the locust plague, especially Wu Liang's "Each liter of locusts costs one bushel of corn."

The pricing, on average, is probably less than one-fifth of the usual rent receivable.

For landlords, this is still a sure profit without loss.

It is better than the tenants being silent for a year, the landlords being unable to collect the rent even if they use force, and finally forcing the tenants to abandon their fields and go into exile. It takes too much force, which is no different from losing your wife and losing the army.

"hiss……"

After reading the contents of the tips bag, Zhu Xun frowned and murmured to himself, "He said before that you might not be able to serve as a captain for a few days, and then he gave you such a tip bag. Could it be that he was sure that Chen Liu would be in charge in the near future?
