Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

In Pengcheng Kingdom, the Prime Minister Wang Lang was very busy, because thousands of acres of fertile land in Pengcheng Kingdom had been destroyed by the locust plague.

"After the locust plague, there is no harvest."

Wang Lang got off the carriage and came to the village that was attacked by locusts. There was almost no grass, and it was shocking.

Wang Lang's discovery of the locust plague was relatively timely. If not, more farmland in the Pengcheng Congress would have been destroyed, and the locust plague would quickly spread to various counties in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.

Mi Fang and Yin Li Er will follow Wang Lang, and seeing the horror of the locust plague, they can't help but feel numb.

Locust plagues are even worse than droughts and floods.

A small official reported: "There are rumors among the villagers in Pengcheng that this is because the state shepherd has offended the heavens, so the plague of locusts is the punishment for Pengcheng."

Mi Fang raised the little official with one hand and scolded, "Shit, the state shepherd is wise and famous, how could he possibly offend the heavens!"

"Sir, this, this is not what the villain said..."

Only then did Mi Fang put the little official down: "Arrest all those who spread rumors, and fight at least 30 major boards."

In Mi Fang's mind, Chutian is completely his brother and idol. If it weren't for Chutian, Mi Fang wouldn't be in the middle of the ranks now.

In just one year, Mi Fang went from the captain to the captain, then to the general, and may become a full-fledged general in the future. He was grateful to Chutian Nature and tried his best to maintain it. It's like someone insulting their idol, how can they stand by and watch.

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. The top priority is to put out the locust plague as soon as possible and open warehouses to help the people."

Wang Lang is not a nerd, he knows very well that the plague of locusts has nothing to do with ghosts and gods.

In Pengcheng, people were panicked because of the locust plague.

For local civilians, the plague of locusts is a disaster from heaven. For Inhuman players, most players don't care, because they don't know how much damage the locust plague will bring to agriculture.

If Xuzhou encounters a large locust plague, the price of food will rise several times, even dozens of times, and it will take many years for Xuzhou to recover.

People regard food as the sky, and food, as the most important material in troubled times, is even more important than gold.

In order to cope with the natural disaster that may spread to the entire Xuzhou in Pengcheng Kingdom, Chu Tian led Langya Prime Minister Xia Tianliang, Xiapi Prime Minister Li Kui and others to Pengcheng Kingdom to try to eliminate the locust plague.

"Get rid of the borer and its thieves, it won't harm me Tian Zhi. Ancestor Tian has a god, and he holds the flames."

Xia Tianliang recited a poem, which made Chutian look sideways.

"From where?"

"The Book of Songs. The ancestors have already made countermeasures, and most of them are attacked by fire."

"What's the rationale for this?"

Li Kui replied, "Like moths, locusts fight fires at night. You can set fires at night, dig pits while burning, and bury them at the same time. Although the plague of locusts may not be completely eradicated, it can also prevent famine."

Li Kui has a lot of experience in agriculture and experience in controlling locust plagues.

"Arrange the counties in Pengcheng to put out the locust plague immediately and use fire attack. Those who put out a lot of locusts can get more food for disaster relief from the government."

On the basis of fire attack, Chutian implemented the "relief for work" system.

The more locusts are killed in the affected villages, the more food the government distributes for disaster relief, so that no one gets something for nothing.

Disaster relief is a must, otherwise there will be a peasant uprising in the Pengcheng Congress.

Let the surrounding powerful enemies have the opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

Because of the locust plague, almost all of the grain stored in the granary of Pengcheng Kingdom has to be taken out for disaster relief, and this year's grain harvest will also be affected.

"The damage caused by a plague of locusts may be even greater than the damage caused by the last battle..."

Chutian encountered a large-scale natural disaster for the first time, and it was difficult.

Xia Xianliang added: "Although one locust was caught, hundreds of locusts were born in the blink of an eye. Villagers should be ordered to find the place where the locusts lay their eggs, and pour medicinal herb juice to kill the eggs. Villages can also be encouraged to raise a large number of locusts. Chickens, ducks, birds and other biological insect control, a chicken can eat hundreds of locusts a day."

"allow."

Chutian arranged them one by one to control the locust plague, mainly by killing locusts and eradicating their eggs.

In "Lord", natural disasters are not uncommon, such as locust plagues, droughts, floods and even earthquakes.

The locust plague that spread to a county was the first time Chutian encountered it.

"Langya State has a large number of special buildings and special talents, which can increase the blessing value of the territory. I used to think that the blessing value had no effect, but now it seems that I underestimated the role of the blessing value."

Chutian did not pay much attention to this hidden feature. In fact, because of the high blessing value of Langya Kingdom, there has never been a huge disaster.

In contrast, the lords of Pengcheng Kingdom's construction of Pengcheng Kingdom is average, and there is a probability of a locust plague.

"The government offices of various counties and states can appropriately build some buildings that originally seemed unnecessary, such as the Temple of the City God."

Chutian weighed the cost of special buildings and the losses caused by the locust plague, and decided to build a batch of buildings in each county government office that can increase the blessing value and reduce the probability of natural disasters.

The losses caused by this locust plague to Pengcheng Kingdom can be used to build hundreds of Temples of the City God.

Wang Lang, Mi Fang, Yin Li and others came back from the village and reported the disaster situation in the village to Chutian.

Wang Lang also mentioned to Chu Tian what Hou Jing had done in Pengcheng: "Pengcheng has organized villagers to excavate insect eggs and kill them over the years, but Hou Jing of Shouchun City destroyed many villages and towns before leaving Pengcheng, causing the land to be deserted. , may also be one of the causes of this locust plague."

"Hou Jing, I will kill him."

Before that, Chutian had already learned that Hou Jing's soldiers burned, killed and looted in the area of ​​Pengcheng, affecting 200,000 civilians.

If Hou Jing's rebellion indirectly caused the plague of locusts, then the damage he caused to the Chutian forces would be even greater.

"Order the army to go south to Pengcheng Kingdom to participate in the hunting and killing of locusts, and at the same time guard against surrounding princes to prevent them from attacking Pengcheng Kingdom during the outbreak of the locust plague."

Chutian is not only worried about the plague of locusts, but also the princes around him who are watching him.

"The outbreak of a locust plague in Xuzhou is really mixed."

When Cao Cao learned of the outbreak of a locust plague in Pengcheng, he did not dare to act rashly for a while.

If the locust plague in Pengcheng Kingdom was uncontrollable due to the war, once it spread to Yanzhou, Cao Cao would not be better off.

In the best case, the locust plague only affects Xuzhou. But the locust plague is uncontrollable.

Xun Yu was in charge of the internal affairs, worried that the plague of locusts would spread to Yanzhou, so he discouraged Cao Cao from risking the idea of ​​attacking Pengcheng Kingdom. Otherwise, not only tens of thousands of people died in battle, but hundreds of thousands of people starved to death.

Cao Cao weighed the pros and cons and finally gave up attacking Xuzhou.

"There was a locust plague in Pengcheng Kingdom, and the main force of Xuzhou went to Pengcheng Kingdom for disaster relief. This is a good time for us to attack Guangling County!"

In Shouchun City, Hou Jing heard that there was a locust plague in Pengcheng, and wanted to take advantage of the fire and attack Guangling County.

Guo Jia deliberately discouraged: "If you don't want to die, don't provoke Chu Zimou easily."

"There are only 30,000 ordinary defenders in Guangling, and they are weak. Besides, I just go to loot and leave when I get the benefits. There is no need to worry. Come here, bring the military advisor. I am always worried if the military advisor is not with me."

Hou Jing was worried that Guo Jia would try to escape while he was leaving Shouchun, so he took Guo Jia with him.

Under the leadership of Hou Jing, more than 20,000 soldiers in Shouchun City invaded Guangling County in Xuzhou.

He needs to loot a sum of gold and silver to satisfy the desires of the soldiers.

A large number of troops were sent to Pengcheng by Chutian, and went to various villages to fight the locust plague.

The Legion that originally fought in the Quartet is now tasked with hunting and killing locusts...

At night, in the farmland on the outskirts of Pengcheng, a team of dismounted cavalry dig traps, pile up straw to burn, attract locusts, burn them to death, and then bury them.

The fierce general Zhao Yun had a limited role in the face of the locust plague. He held a shovel to cover up the locust's body.

Tens of thousands of locusts were killed, and it is conceivable how terrifying the reproductive capacity of locusts is.

Joan of Arc, also carrying a shovel, worked hard to dig the trap, sweating profusely.

In order to put out the locust plague in Pengcheng Kingdom as soon as possible, everyone went into battle in person.

After Chutian's force increased, it was easy to use the shovel.

"Locusts are the biggest pest of farmland. They will not only eat up all the crops and plants, but also kill each other after eating everything that can be eaten..."

When Xia Xia Liang mentioned locusts killing each other, he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted and pale.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Chu Tian leaned on the shovel, and saw that Xia Xia Liang's face was not very good.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

"Xuning, take Miss Xia to rest."

Chutian was worried that something would happen to Xia Liang, so he asked Li Xiuning to take Xia Liang to rest.

The rest waited, still hunting locusts in the fields.

"In the future, strict locust control measures will be established in various counties to reduce the frequency of locust plagues."

It is almost unrealistic to completely prevent locust plagues. Even industrial civilization cannot completely avoid them. It can only reduce the scale and frequency of locust plagues.

Otherwise, there will be a locust plague every three to five, and the bigger the territory of Chutian, the more uncomfortable it will be.

Li Kui wiped his sweat with a dry towel: "Pengcheng Prime Minister discovered and controlled the locust plague earlier, and it is expected that the scope of the locust plague will not leave Pengcheng. ."

"This may be the benefit of centralization. One side is in trouble and all sides support."

Chu Tian served as the lord for many years, and gradually realized a lot of truth.

The area of ​​the Eastern Han Dynasty was too large, and there were all kinds of disasters. The common natural disasters were floods in the south and drought in the north, and there were occasional locust plagues, snow disasters, earthquakes, typhoons... Therefore, the centralized system became stronger and stronger in the Eastern Han Dynasty to reduce the number of small farmers. Economic instability.

"Pengcheng Prime Minister Wang Lang's performance in this locust plague was positive, and he wrote down the credits and used it to evaluate his political achievements when he was promoted in the future."

Seeing that Wang Lang's handling was timely, Chu Tian rewarded him.

Wang Lang felt ashamed when he learned that Chutian awarded him. In the Pengcheng country he ruled, there was a locust plague, and he was still guilty. Although I know that the locust plague is not because of someone's bad morals, the anger of heaven is caused, but after all, the locust plague happened on the land that I govern.

"It's tiring."

Wu Anguo sat directly on the ground, and even skewered the locusts, roasted them on the fire, and feasted.

Wu Anguo's agility attracted the attention of many civil servants.

"Can locusts eat?"

Sitting next to Wu Anguo, Mi Fang couldn't help but be curious when she saw Wu Anguo chewing and treating locusts as food.

"Why can't you eat it. Who are you?"

When Wu Anguo met Mi Fang, they were very pleasing to the eye.

Mi Fang raised her head and raised her chest.

Wu Anguo didn't expect Mi Fang to have such a big background, so he said, "I am Wu Anguo, the hammer of the North Sea.

Mi Fang said: "You can enter the fifth school of the Northern Army, which means you have a little brute force. When the locust plague is over, we will learn martial arts when we have time. Although my martial arts are among the best in Xuzhou, I will let you."

Wu Anguo heard that Mi Fang's martial arts skills were among the best in Xuzhou, and he was immediately fearful: "Your martial arts skills are so powerful that you might even surpass Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, so I won't be boring myself."

Mi Fang and Wu Anguo, one dared to speak, the other dared to believe.

The generals set fire to kill the locusts at night, exhausted and rested during the day.

Chutian was stationed in Pengcheng for ten days to suppress the plague of locusts.

During this time, when Hou Jing invaded Guangling County, Chu Tian ordered Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, to defend Guangling and relocate the residents of the countryside to the city, and then he didn't care too much.

Chu Tian believed that Chen Deng could defend Guangling, and it was almost impossible for Hou Jing's forces to capture Guangling. Fang Xuanling judged that Hou Jing just wanted to take the opportunity to loot the village and food in Guangling.

When Chen Qingzhi heard that Hou Jing was attacking Guangling, he asked Chu Tian to go to Guangling and join forces with Chen Deng to attack Hou Jing.

Chutian took the test for a while and then agreed to Chen Qingzhi's request.

Pengcheng and Guangling are both government-level cities. Through the teleportation array, Guangling can be reached immediately. Chen Deng has two or three thousand cavalry under his command, which can be used by Chen Qingzhi.

After vigorous suppression, the destructive power of the locust plague gradually diminished, and there was no news of the locust plague in the surrounding counties, so everyone in Xuzhou felt a little relieved.

In order to prevent their own farmland from being destroyed by locusts, the aristocratic families in Xuzhou actively supported Chutian to suppress the locust plague.

The disaster relief food from various counties and counties was successively transported to Pengcheng and distributed to the victims who trapped and killed the locusts, and the disaster situation was alleviated.

Xia Xian Liang only appeared in the farmland for a period of time during the ten days, so he left early with Li Xiuning because he was tired or felt sick when he saw locusts.

Chu Tian thought that she did not have enough physical strength to do these heavy tasks, so she had no problem with her leaving early. After all, everyone is different.

On the eleventh day, Li Lan, a doctor who had been with Xia Village since the beginning, found Chu Tian: "Master, do you know why Miss Xia has been so weak recently?"

"Why?"
