If there is no food, who can survive? The princes also strongly encourage the people to farm. On the contrary, they suppress businessmen and craftsmen.

"Hurry up and ask Mr. Hua Tuo to go with you." Through the news from Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, he knew the severity of the locust plague. The overwhelming locusts were definitely a nightmare for the people.

Locusts reproduce very quickly. They usually appear in dry areas and like to live in groups. If the number of locusts reaches a certain level, all crops in the field can disappear overnight.

Lu Bu's idea was to let Hua Tuo see if there was an effective way to deal with these locusts first. If that didn't work, Lu Bu had a trick. This trick was also the most effective way to alleviate the locust plague.

A group of people hurried to the fields outside the city. When they saw the sparse locusts in the fields, Lu Bu frowned slightly. Locusts are animals that gather in large numbers. Once locusts appear here, it means that more locusts will come.

"Mr. Hua, does he have any method to save the crops?" Lu Bu asked with a solemn expression.

Hua Tuo shook his head slightly. He was a doctor, so how could he know how to kill locusts?

"Send the order and let the people catch the locusts." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are so many locusts that we can't catch them without human power."

Lu Bu nodded, he also knew this situation, and it was only when there were not a large number of locusts appearing in Bingzhou that he could adopt the method of catching them. How could the princes not know the method of catching locusts, but in the face of the locusts coming to cover the sky and the sun,

They were helpless. Besides, in the eyes of ordinary people, locusts were a punishment sent from heaven. If they caught locusts, it would cause even greater anger from heaven. This would be troublesome.

"Mr. Hua, it's still in your body to kill the locusts. Since Mr. knows how to cure diseases and save people, he should know how to kill people. The same is true for locusts. You only need to make a medicine to kill them, and then you can kill the locusts. And Mr.

He will also be remembered in history for saving the people." Lu Bu said.

Hua Tuo was shocked. As a doctor, there are very few people who can go down in history, unless they make a major contribution, such as killing locusts. Such a feat is unprecedented. Since ancient times, when people face locusts, they can only be filled with sorrow.

"I'll try my best." Hua Tuo said with a cupped hand.

"With your ability, sir, it will definitely be possible. Sir, you can take the locusts back and develop a drug that can kill the locusts without harming people. The rest will be left to me," Lu Bu said.

Hua Tuo accepted the order and left. Although he didn't know what method Lu Bu would come up with, since Lu Bu had such confidence, he planned to give it a go.

"If you pass the order, after the people catch the locusts, they can dry them and sell them to the Prefectural Mufu. The Prefectural Mufu will buy them at two cents per catty," Lu Bu said.

The wrath from heaven is just words to deceive the people. As for the locusts, after being dried, they are rich in protein and can be used to improve the lives of soldiers. Since these locusts have eaten the people's food, why do the people

You can't eat locusts to satisfy your hunger.

The hungry people would not spare even the roots of bark and grass. As long as they could survive, it would not be a bad idea to let them eat locusts. As long as they made a little preparation, who would know that there are such things as locusts in the food? This is also Lu Bu's

The ultimate trick is to eat locusts and prevent disasters from locusts.

Seeing that Lu Bu was very confident, Jia Xu hurriedly passed the order even though he was puzzled. One pound per pound was already a good price. The number of locusts in the fields would increase, and the people would be able to get a lot of money by catching the locusts.

.

This order from the Prefectural Mufu also confused the people. When they saw the locusts in the fields, they cried without tears. There were so many locusts that it was difficult to catch them all. However, under the stimulation of money, the people

Very enthusiastically, they went to the fields to catch locusts. For a time, the people around Jinyang had the most locusts in their yards.

But when Lu Bu returned to the city, he went to the craftsman's workshop. He wanted to imitate the medicine pots of later generations and spray the medicine prepared by Hua Tuo in the fields.

After finally describing it clearly, Old Man Cheng distributed the drawings to the craftsmen below. This was an urgent order. The craftsmen all stopped what they were doing and began to build a medicine pot that they had never seen before.

After all, the technology of this era was limited. Lu Bu just ordered the craftsman's workshop to build a large iron barrel, with a long mouth extending above the iron barrel, and piercing small holes on the mouth of the barrel. In this way, it can be used as a

A simple medicine pot is here to use.

"Where is Ma Jun?" Lu Bu asked.

"Master Ma is renovating the crossbow carriage and the thunder carriage inside the house." Old man Cheng said. He was very optimistic about this young man who was not good at words. From Ma Jun, he felt what it means to be intoxicated. As long as there is equipment,

Ma Jun is like a man possessed by his hands. He will not give up until he studies thoroughly.

"Let Ma Jun come and follow me to the outside of the city." Lu Bu said, there is a drought in Bingzhou now. If the drought problem cannot be solved, it will inevitably affect the grain harvest. This time, the grain harvest is related to many people in Bingzhou.

If there is no drought in Bingzhou, the locust plague can be alleviated to a great extent.

It has not rained for many days, and the fields outside the city are also a little dry. Many people are carrying water to water the fields. Although it is evening, it is a busy scene.

Cheng Tie also followed Ma Jun. In the craftsman's workshop, Cheng Tie and Ma Jun had a good relationship. Only Cheng Tie had the patience to discuss with Ma Jun. Gradually, Cheng Tie became obsessed with making instruments. Cheng Tie usually

He was responsible for conveying Ma Jun's meaning to the craftsmen.

"If the weather is dry, there will be more locusts. If the drought can be alleviated, the locust plague will not be a concern. Deheng can find a way to build a device so that the water in the river can irrigate the fields." Lu Bu said.

After hearing this, Ma Jun looked towards the river not far away and pondered for a moment. He suddenly remembered something he had built in his hometown and nodded excitedly.

Lu Bu looked happy. He didn't expect Ma Jun to have such skills. "So, this matter has its own merits."

Ma Jun hurriedly returned the gift. Although he didn't say anything, he looked very confident. He could build a waterwheel that could irrigate the fields. However, after arriving at the craftsman's workshop in Bingzhou, he had been studying the crossbow and thunderbolt chariot.

Wait for sharp weapons.

Things in the city were almost busy, and Lu Bu finally returned to his mansion. In the past half month, Lu Bu had been staying in the governor's mansion, and he was very tired.

"Father is back." But it was Lu Lingqi who was the first to notice Lu Bu walking into the house, and shouted to greet him.

Looking at Lu Bu's slightly haggard face, the five women felt heartbroken.
