Chapter 318: Strategic and Tactical Synchronization

Li Longji talked about the situation around Zhuangzi like a joke at night.

Li Dan, Concubine Doulu, Li Chengqi and several other princes also took it as a joke.

The other four princes have never met Li Yi, but they have helped him and received many benefits.

They wanted to go, but were afraid of exposing their identities, so they could only learn about Li Yi from others.

Anyway, I think that young man is very capable, otherwise how could he have eaten cantaloupe and watermelon in winter?

There used to be some vegetables in the hot springs, but never watermelons.

Watermelons from last autumn can be preserved, soaked in salt water, and then moved into the cellar.

When this batch of watermelons was almost eaten, the watermelons from the greenhouse came out.

Apart from supplying it to heaven and earth, Lijiazhuangzi never sells out any food. They eat all of it themselves, and then add Glauber's salt to the watermelon rind to make watermelon frost.

How can ordinary people not earn the money they have?

In the imperial examination two days ago, forty-two people came out of Lijiazhuangzi, and forty-two people squeezed in front of the first class.

With this ability, I will ask if there is anything I need help with in the future, and then continue to reap the benefits myself.

Everyone in Baifu Hall was happily eating and drinking, and they were having a great time.

In the political hall, Yao Chong did not leave. He stayed here tonight.

He was studying articles written by forty-two students on controlling droughts and locust plagues.

It is said in the drought that in places where there is a lot of bamboo, bamboo pipes should be connected, and then the water can be diverted directly through the bamboo pipes.

You don’t have to use whole bamboo, split it, knock off the bamboo joints, and then drill small holes on the side, which saves more water.

The premise is that the terrain must be high on one side and low on the other, otherwise the water will not flow through.

Needless to say, digging wells, King Song's team dispersed and sent many small teams to teach them how to dig wells and win them into the alliance.

The spring crop is not bad, the wheat is almost gone, and the drought can be overcome.

The key lies in the autumn crop, when the drought intensifies and water can only be diverted for irrigation. At the same time, the drier the drought, the more locusts there are.

If there is a severe drought and severe locusts, it will be most serious next year. There will not be enough water in the upper reaches and many locusts will lay eggs.

Yes, locusts lay eggs. Li Yi said that locusts are not given by God, but like chickens laying eggs, they put their babies into the soil.

The method of killing locusts and burying them is not good. It is said that some locusts are about to 'lay eggs', that is, they are laying eggs.

If caught alive and buried in the soil, the locust will spend its last moments laying eggs.

The best way is to float a small boat in the middle of the water where there is water. Light a lot of lanterns on the boat. At night, locusts will fly over and then fall into the water and drown.

If there was no water, they would set up many fires on the ground with nets around them, or simply wait for the locusts to rush in and burn them to death.

Chickens and ducks are effective during the day, especially in grain fields.

The leaves of grain are not tasty and chickens and ducks do not like to eat them, preferring to eat meat.

In the vegetable field, if there are no specially raised chickens and ducks, it is very likely that one bite of locusts will kill one bite of vegetables.

In order to cope with this situation, Lijiazhuangzi raised maggots for a long time to feed chickens and ducks.

As long as the chickens and ducks of the same group are hatched and taught by the older chickens and ducks, the younger ones will also watch for bugs and eat them.

The other is the smoking method. The best smoke is the smoke from mugwort. Once smoked, locusts fall one after another.

Yao Chong looked at them one by one. He knew that this belonged to the technical field.

If students dare to write it down, it must be because of Li Yi's teachings.

When describing various methods in the examination paper, it was emphasized that the locust plague is not terrible, but what is terrible is the human heart and the fear of people.

There are locusts, but if you don’t kill them, what can you do?

"Therefore, when the world's affairs are not feared by ghosts and gods, they must be beneficial. When people see benefits, they can be immoral and disrespectful of ghosts and gods, let alone locusts?

It makes the people see benefits. Anyone who catches and kills locusts can get money, and the people can go against heaven.

People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Now we are going against the grain, pursuing the people and pursuing profits, and the people are working hard to catch the locusts. This is the best strategy.

If the increase is ten qian per day, the people will be willing to go there. If the increase is 100 qian per day, all the people, old and young, will do it. "

Yao Chong read out an article on current affairs.

It means that people are afraid of locusts, but if you let them know that catching locusts can make money, do this and that, no matter what God thinks, just do it.

If they could earn ten cents a day catching locusts, many people would be willing to do it.

If you can make a hundred cents, young and old will join the battle, and everyone will go crazy.

"Wow, Li Yi, you are really extraordinary." Yao Chong rubbed his hands and praised Li Yi.

Then read the next article.

The next article is also about locust control strategies.

The ideas they came up with were different.

"Some people want to argue that disasters from heaven are unavoidable. We use the past and present locust plagues and droughts as an excuse. Don't we hear that on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, flowers bloomed on the other side of the Sansheng Stone... This is a propaganda offensive."

This student of Zhuangzi said that we should respond with a propaganda offensive.

The people were afraid of natural disasters and said they were punishments sent by God.

Then the program on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be used to tell the people about the past life, this life, and the next life. If you don't kill the locusts now, you will suffer hardship in this life and it will be difficult to get together in the next life.

Let's fight superstition against superstition and see who is the best. Something will happen to God right now. Isn't this life and the next life more serious than what is happening in front of us?

Yao Chong looked at it with goosebumps all over his body.

He recalled, when did Li Yi start raising chickens and ducks? With such a large quantity, we just don’t kill them and sell them, we just keep them.

Only later did they say that they could sell chicks and ducks.

Then the piglets happened to be left to give birth at the beginning of spring.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I assisted Queen Wang and buried the reasons why the man and woman died.

It’s all careful consideration. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

How much had he done in advance to deal with the locust plague?

Including learning from His Majesty how to make boiled eggs, and then the Shu merchants compromised and asked for a large amount of salt.

"I'm actually afraid, afraid that he will focus on dealing with me, alas!"

Yao Chong trembled and said to himself.

He panicked. That young man spent a year planning one thing, and it was only now that he revealed it.

Very patient and kind-hearted.

And he must have a lot of skills. Does he continue to have any plans?

There was a temporary problem with the kiln in Wugong County, which defrauded the people. The new glaze was released in a few days.

In other words, during emergencies, Li Yi responded quickly and showed no mercy.

If you are not in a hurry, he will take his time. During this process, if you push for a while, he will promise to respond immediately, and he will still be so fast.

Just like fighting a war, there is no shortage of strategy and tactics.

If you don't make a move, he will force you little by little. If you suddenly make a move, he will react instantly without giving you the slightest chance.

Yao Chong took a deep breath, then went to get an oxygen bag and put it on his nose.

"This man's far-reaching plans and swift responses are unparalleled by others. Be careful, be careful, and be careful again."

Yao Chong told himself, meaning, don't always think about suppressing the other party.

Maybe the other party is planning something now. After the boy is done with the drought and locust plague, what will he do next? Isn't it against yourself?

Yao Chong thought, he scared himself, he didn't know that Li Yi never took him seriously.

Giving him benefits through heaven and earth is to stabilize him.

Don't make trouble, you're busy. I know everything about your son, but he just doesn't want to take action.
