[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

A few days ago, when Li Que, Guo Si and others had the idea of ​​moving to the east, the little emperor seemed to see hope, but he forced himself to be calm, and even refused when Li Que came to ask for his opinion.

As long as he moves eastward, Cao Aiqing will be closer. Now the only person the little emperor trusts is Cao Aiqing.

But in fact, Li Que and Guo Si are not fools. If the little emperor agrees to return to Luoyang, they will start to consider the danger it represents.

Of course they knew the possible risks of moving eastward. Cao Cao couldn't move now because the emperor was in their hands. Every decree issued by Emperor Xian had been reviewed first to make sure that there was no edict or secret order asking for help.But if you go east, the closer you are to Cao Cao, the more likely accidents will happen.

They also had a little understanding of Cao Cao, who was independent, quick-witted, and would lead troops to fight.

I don't know what Buddha was invited now, it's the time when good luck is on the way.

Li Que and Guo Si are also very envious of Cao Cao's recent success.

Especially when I heard that Yanzhou and Yuzhou were thriving under his governance.These two places belong to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the two states are extremely fertile on weekdays. I heard that he even came up with a crop rotation?Food can be doubled!

Apart from Cao Cao, their biggest scruple is Yuan Shao in the north. Although Yuan Shao is still fighting Gongsun Zan, the situation has basically become clear. After Yuan Shao was not dragged down by his younger brother, it was like a sudden enlightenment to deal with Gongsun Zan. After a series of coups, Gongsun Zan was defeated steadily.

Yuan Shaoben was born well, and even had a good reputation. Before that, he was the leader of the anti-Dong forces, and he wore a halo invisibly.

If they really returned to Luoyang... I don't know if this little boy Yuan Shao would come to punish them just like he wanted to conquer Dong Zhuo at that time?

Originally, although Li Que and Guo Si were thinking about moving the capital, their actions were still slow. The reason that prompted them to act was actually the sense of urgency brought about by the absence of rain for many days.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the origin of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was precisely because of drought, so the major warlords were extremely sensitive to drought.

Li Que and Guo Si have tens of thousands of soldiers to support. These soldiers are masters who don’t see rabbits and don’t scatter eagles. If you dare to cut off food, they will dare to mutiny tomorrow.

Therefore, under the crisis of food shortage brought about by days of no rain, they were forced to move east, because the east had more rain, and the situation would definitely be better than the west.

And they have also received news, but all experienced farmers say that this year may be a severe drought.

Their decision was not wrong, but their actions were not fast enough. When they were traveling eastward from Chang'an to Luoyang, they encountered this severe drought. , The military rations he brought were not enough. The first to be stopped were the princes and civil servants. Slowly, even the little emperor's food could not guarantee the original level.

The little emperor may have tasted the taste of starvation for the first time in his life. He regretted it countless times in his heart. Why didn't Cao Cao stay behind at that time, but listened to Wang Yun's words?He knew that he should not blame Wang Yun, because all this was not what Wang Yun wanted to see, not to mention that Wang Situ had already paid the price with his life.

It's just rational, but emotionally, I can't control this resentment.

Especially when he was extremely hungry.

At this moment, an extremely spineless idea appeared in his mind.

He thought, if you can feed me enough, wear warm clothes, and give me the honor of an emperor, then even if Cao Aiqing and Dong Zhuo are the same, there seems to be nothing wrong.

But in the next moment, this weak thought was overturned by himself.

After all, he is the emperor of the Han family. Although he has not been educated by the prince since he was a child, he still knows his integrity, and he is also very clear that if he really becomes an emperor who follows the crowd, the Han family will be destroyed in his hands. superior.

Do not worry.

Han Xiandi forced himself to swallow the thick corn porridge that pierced his throat, and he squeezed his toothbrush while secretly encouraging himself.

The toothbrush was empty, and Cao Aiqing's letter inside had been eaten by him, but the words Cao Aiqing sent at that time were always engraved in his heart. When he was in the most painful and uncomfortable time, it was Cao Aiqing's words that gave him encouragement, and he A good result was indeed obtained, but who would have thought that after Dong Zhuo's death, these two thieves would come again.

He must create opportunities. If he falls into the hands of Li Que and Guo Si, they will be good and loyal ministers. They have to leave, and they must leave. As long as he escapes safely, the loyal officials of the Han Dynasty will not have to fight against the two thieves. If, if I fail...it's nothing more than being viewed more strictly, and it's not much different from now!

Like God's help, when the civil and military officials were starving and halfway there, an unexpected accident happened.Li Que and Guo Si suddenly had a dispute because of a small conflict, and suddenly there was a gap and the troops were divided into two and stalemate each other.

What a godsend!Taking advantage of the chaos, a few loyal servants protected the little emperor and fled to Luoyang. Although Li Que and Guo Si had discovered the emperor's eastward departure, they were not in a panic, because the little emperor was only taking the emperor with him. There are a dozen servants, no money and food, and the weapons are still the emperor's travel rituals, which are not lethal. Let's not talk about whether they can run fast, but just talk about safety... Ha ha.

They didn't know it, but just before fleeing east, the little emperor wrote a letter and sent his most trusted little Huangmen to deliver it to Cao Cao.

He still remembers that Cao Cao once told him in Chang'an that as long as he has an order, even if he crawls, he will crawl to his side. Cao Cao is now the last and only person he can trust.

Liu Xie, who was protected and escaped by the last few loyal servants, clenched his fists. He had to hold on, he must hold on.

Only by going on, can we see the end of these rebellious officials and thieves!

So what about Cao Cao's situation?

In this severe drought, although Yanzhou and Yuzhou were further east and were not affected as deeply as Chang'an, the main reason why the two states were not affected by the severe disaster was because they had a sense of prevention.

Since a shallow well in a higher part of the city couldn't get water, Xia Anran began to prepare for the drought.

After they finished harvesting the first season of winter wheat, Xia Anran asked them to plant some drought-tolerant crops. Even if the second season's grains were not harvested, they still had the first season's grain as a base. In this way, this severe drought would affect them The impact should not be too great.

Most of the farmers planted corn. Although the best period for planting corn had passed, corn was a good food.Farmers also don't care about the damage to the fields caused by planting two rounds of crops. If what the government said is true, this drought may affect next year, then every ration is extremely precious. To grab.

Experienced farmers have also created a new planting model, one row of millet and one row of beans.

The local county magistrate did not stop it, because the old man told him that if there is a severe drought, the locusts will not eat soybeans if they have a choice of food, so planting this way is tantamount to abandoning millet to protect soybeans.

Yes, locusts.

The so-called locust plagues will follow after a long drought, major droughts and minor droughts, and now the common people have such awareness, but they don't know why this is so, they can only think of some ways to avoid disasters as much as possible.

Moreover, when watering, you only need to focus on the soybeans, and the amount of water absorbed by the soybeans is enough for the growth of corn, which is more water-saving than simply planting all soybeans.

After hearing this news, Xia Anran silently recorded this experience, and reminded himself to pay attention to this piece of land at that time, to see if this is feasible, and if so, he will promote it later.

The last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the Little Ice Age, and disasters occurred frequently. This kind of experience is very valuable.

In the summer of this year, the sun was high and the weather was hotter than in previous years. For two whole weeks, there was not a single drop of rain.

The water level in the villagers' own wells is also dropping all the way. Thanks to the corn they planted this time, and because they planted it late, the corn is still in the growing season and has not entered the most important and inseparable water filling period.

The water in the deep wells is still relatively abundant. Xia Anran basically guaranteed that two villages that do not rely on the river can have a deep well.

Every county magistrate and pavilion chief mobilized at this time, ordering that the water in the deep well should be guaranteed to be drinking water for the villagers.

Because they soon discovered that there were farmers holding well water for irrigation.

The farmers said one after another that they don't need to drink water or take a bath, but this sip of water must be given to the farmer to drink.

The last kind of behavior was gradually eliminated after the government interfered indiscriminately.

This is a solution that was forced and helpless by a pavilion chief. He stood by the deep water well. Villagers who want to fetch water must bring the whole family with them. If you want to fetch water, you can pour it down alone Two cups of warm water first.

This kind of method makes people laugh and cry, and feels that their efforts are wasted, but it also created a miracle that no one died of thirst in Yanzhou and Yuzhou during the drought.

Of course, the most fundamental reason may actually be that a pavilion chief shouted to the people below: the water you drink will become fat, drink more water to keep the fields!

Cough, today's farmers don't quite understand the problem of excessive fertilization and burning of fields, so they think it's very right after a second thought!Anyway, it's all water. Is there any problem with watering the fields after drinking it and draining it?Not at all!drink!gulp!

Fortunately, the land still has the carrying capacity for a small amount of undecomposed urine, and it will not be burned to death because of the occasional behavior, but in any case, this is indeed a good way to persuade the people to drink more water.

Generally speaking, Yanzhou and Yuzhou have not been greatly affected by the drought.Moreover, it was indeed a wise decision for Cao Cao to dig wells, and to use water from the Yellow River and streams since he took office. In the eyes of later generations, it was indeed a wise decision, but there was another thing that could not be escaped.

After the beginning of summer, Xia Anran has already organized everyone to twist straw and weeds into straw ropes, and then weave them into nets.

This move certainly confuses everyone, but this year, because the government strictly prohibits the burning of fire dung, the crops in the fields should not be fertilized as much as possible, so there is indeed a lot of straw left, and the people more or less made some nets and handed them over to the pavilion chief. , After confirming that the number was enough, they covered the bamboo poles with grass nets under the leadership of the pavilion chief.

Just when everyone was puzzled, an order was issued from above that made people even more confused. These days, anyone who has domestic animals must let them out during the day.

Why is this?

It didn't take long for their doubts, and soon old people answered them, in order to control the locusts.

The word locust is probably more terrifying in the hearts of the people than a severe drought. If there is a well in a severe drought, it can still be saved, but when the locust plague comes together, there will not be a field where it passes. It is also very easy to be injured by locusts.

In the end, I could only watch helplessly as a year's hard work was ruined.

Of course they know that poultry and some livestock will eat locusts, but they will release all the livestock during the day... If they step on the crops...

While they were hesitating, the pavilion chief requisitioned a few more cauldrons. Most of these cauldrons were bronze cauldrons used by several surnames for sacrifices. well water.

What, what is this for?

The villagers were puzzled, and the head of the pavilion distributed a fishing net they had made before.

And tell them that this is for hunting locusts.

Catch, kill locusts?

The villagers were stunned when they heard this, but, but when the locusts came, they would cover the sky and cover the earth, only relying on such a small net?

Of course not, the peasants only played an auxiliary role, and the main new force was the soldiers under Cao Cao's tent.

These days, the land coverage rate in Yanzhou and Yuzhou is unprecedentedly high, and because Xia Anran knew there would be a drought before, he took many preventive measures, including spreading pasture seeds in the vacant areas to improve the vegetation. Coverage, such a living environment is not what locusts like.

In this regard, Xia Anran judged that if Yanzhou and Yuzhou encountered locust plagues, the main source should not be local locusts, because the environment here was not conducive to their spawning before, and the main thing they need to prevent is from Locusts flew over from the turbulent Jingzhou.

Farther to the west, the dry, hot, uncultivated large stretches of bare fields, and the land with a water content of less than 20.00% are simply a paradise for locusts to lay eggs.

For this reason, the reserve army under Cao Ying had already rushed to the border with a large net bag, firstly to hunt and kill locusts, and secondly to prevent bandit soldiers from rebelling.Thirdly, it is also possible to block the possible influx of victims.

In such a season, don’t say that Cao’s army is unrighteous and keeps the victims out, but because, unlike disease disasters, no one can guarantee whether they carry the plague under such natural disasters, although droughts are not more likely to cause diseases than floods. But it doesn't mean how safe it is from a drought.

Cao Cao must be responsible to the people under his rule.

Facts have proved that this decision is very correct.

On the day Cao Jun arrived, they repelled two groups of bandits who wanted to rush into Yuzhou taking advantage of the chaos.

They wore obvious standard armor and held sharp weapons. They could tell at a glance that they were soldiers from Jingzhou or Yuan Shu's side, but because most of the equipment on this team was patchwork, it was impossible to tell which side they belonged to.

In ancient times, there was no wall at the border between the two provinces. There were only boundary markers or natural rivers and mountains as divisions. People on both sides could come and go freely without being detained. That is to say, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, you can hide in the mountains of another province for a long time without being discovered, and you can also walk on unofficial roads all the time, as long as you can be self-sufficient.

But it was clear that this group of vicious bandits had no intention of being self-sufficient.

Judging from the posture of this group of people, it is obvious that they plan to attack a certain village in disorder. With their manpower and weapons, they can do this by surprise. Of course, they do not admit that they have this plan now, but no matter whether they admit it or not No matter whether it can change the ending, entering another state without notice is smuggling.

Just like the national border, although there is no city wall there, there may not necessarily be patrols, and even the country allows the border residents of the two countries to trade across the border, but non-border residents enter without authorization, no matter if they are not discovered, it is illegal and invaded if they are discovered country has the right to arrest you.

So these people were immediately tied behind their hands and brought down, and their strength would have to be used in the mine in the future.

These people are just appetizers, Cao Jun is not waiting for them.

In July, the fire is flowing, and Mars is heading west. At this time, when autumn was about to enter, the weather has turned slightly cooler. The eggs of the East Asian migratory locusts, which are the main force of the locust plague here, have hatched from this summer insects. They only need more than half a baby. They can grow into adults within months, and they lay more eggs while killing crops on a small scale.

This batch of laid eggs will become a nightmare for farmers next May.

Of course, Xia Anran can't let these worms survive. The summer worms hatched in May can eat the winter wheat fruits that are just about to be harvested during the growth process.

If these insects survived and successfully laid eggs in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, no matter how hard he tried to prevent them next year, they would be greeted with a disaster of food shortages, and then there would be another round of autumn locusts in August next year.

It only takes two years of no harvest, and Cao Cao's family can be easily emptied. If there is another war at this time, the tragedy of cannibalism can be staged. Is it possible that there will be no war?

Impossible, Yuan Shu has just fled, and he is looking for a piece of land. Tao Qian of Xuzhou is Yuan Shu's man. If he can take Yanzhou, which borders Xuzhou, Xuzhou will become Yuan Shu's best backing, and Yuan Shu will be able to Attacking all the way to the west, as for how much impact this will have on the local people's livelihood... If Yuan Shu cared, the people of Nanyang would not be hollowed out so that he could not support his army, so that he was defeated.

Now Yuan Shu is afraid to move, but it is because he still has some scruples about Cao Cao's strength in his heart, or he is waiting for the negative impact of this catastrophe on Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which is why Cao Cao is so easy. He couldn't afford to bet on the reason why Xia Anran sent troops.

Most of the reserve army and infantry under Cao Cao's tent were sent to the west, and the cavalry and heavy weapons were left behind in the east. The eastern front was fully under the command of Xun Yu, and Cao Cao himself was stationed on the western front.

He personally guarded the border with the soldiers, waiting for the first wave of locusts.

During the preparation period, he ordered that whichever army captured the most locusts, which battalion would be equipped with iron weapons first.

In this way, the soldiers holding net pockets were even more excited, among them, even Cao Cao's personal guard battalion was sent down by him.

The sergeants didn't waste their time waiting, it's a rare moment when multiple barracks gather together, especially some local troops, which are extremely rare to see on weekdays.Since the opportunity is rare, of course competition is inevitable.

As big as a fighting general, as small as a fighting soldier, compare military songs, compare military discipline, and even compare the commander in each army whose suona is better.

But in the end they all lost.

The winner is Xia Anran.

Xia Anran, who is the representative of civil servants, shook her finger after listening to a few songs to indicate that you can't do this.

It's too soothing, military songs have to be grand and atmospheric, and the musical instruments should not be limited to suona.

Seeing this, the troublemakers headed by Sun Jian waved their hands and booed and asked the referee to play a song. He took the lead, and the Sun family army led by him naturally laughed and booed. Even Zhou Yu, who had a good relationship, looked at him teasingly. Clap your hands to express your expectation.

Driven by him, the Lu family army next to him couldn't escape. Lu Bu didn't know him well, but he also knew that his Fang Tian painted halberd was named after this little counselor, and he was also optimistic about him. Let the atmosphere cool down. If necessary, Lu Bu is also very able to join in the fun. If he coaxes together, Zhang Liao Gaoshun will certainly not be idle.

At present, there are endless requests for "one piece, one piece from Master Xia".

Even Cao Cao clapped his hands to tell him not to be shy. It's rare that today's time is just right, and Jing Xi is not going to come.

Xia Anran, who was on fire, was in a bit of a dilemma at the moment. He did have a lot of songs, but if he sang them, they were a little thin. Do you want to use drums to make music?

He glanced at the big drum that was placed over there to command the three armies. He didn't know how to use drums, but he could still play a rhythm.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Cao Chun stand up, he picked up a suona casually, stepped forward with his long legs, the young man in armor walked steadily, and stood extremely firmly beside Xia Anran, the two looked at each other tacitly Xia Anran knew what he wanted to sing without even needing words.

So he didn't hesitate too much, and after obtaining Cao Cao's consent, he brought a big drum and a golden gong to beat himself. Put it on the suona mouthpiece.

Naturally, he can play the suona, and he can even be said to be No.1 after Xia Anran, but he stopped playing the suona after he taught the signal soldiers.

Hey, this kid actually hid this trick?

Cao Chun's tone is relatively gentle, Xia Anran's voice still has the tone of a young man, and his tone is also a bit low: "The white horse is decorated with gold, galloping north and west."

"Long drive to the Huns, left to look at Ling Xianbei."

While singing, he tapped on the rim of the drum with a drumstick to beat the rhythm for himself and Cao Chun. The melody of this song is soothing and the lyrics are catchy. Xia Anran's voice is lowered. Seeing him land a heavy hammer on the golden gong, he released his voice, which was the climax of the four lines of "White Horse Chapter" that Cao Chun sang to him that day.

"Abandoning the sharp edge, life is safe"

"Death to the country is difficult, and death is suddenly home."

The sound of the drum accompanied his singing soaring into the sky, and suddenly, Lu Bu stood up suddenly, holding Fang Tian's painting halberd and standing upright, with his back straight and his pheasant feathers facing the sky.

As the only soldier among many generals who had fought against the Huns in the north, he was very touched by this song. However, Lu Bu couldn't memorize the lyrics in such a short period of time, so he hit the ground with a long halberd and buckled the nodes one after another. Ensemble for Xia Anran.

Seeing this, Cao Chun turned his fingers and speeded up the rhythm a little, making it even more exciting.

Xia Anran's voice was very good, and he followed immediately. At the same time, a ray of flute sound was mixed into their music. It was Zhou Yu who didn't bring a guqin to join the music. , the sobbing flute sound is mixed into the suona and the drum sound, without being obtrusive at all, and it can justly take over the bass part that the suona has no time to take care of in the passionate place.

Obviously, this Jiangdong Zhou Gongjin, who is famous for his qin, is also not weak in his flute skills.

After the second time, Cao Cao also stood up. He was holding a long halberd, which was the weapon of his con Cao Ren.

After all, he danced his halberd, and there was a sound of piercing the air. The three of them reconciled, and naturally the generals beside him would no longer just sit and watch. Xia Anran had fun together, he was also from a noble family, so his voice rate was naturally not bad, but he closed Xia Anran's hanger in a few clicks, and later in order to let him sing with peace of mind, he even took away his drumsticks, Cao Ren double hammered Together, they were able to compete with his younger brother's suona with drums and gongs.

The two brothers fought for joy, forcing Xia Anran to move a little further away.

So, Sun Ce simply picked up the spear, and he said, "My lord dances the halberd alone, but it's a bit boring? Why don't you come and walk with the lord?"

Cao Cao didn't talk too much, he had a pair of horizontal halberds and raised his eyebrows, "Come on."

In this way, the two faced each other with halberds and spears, but they still stepped on the point of music every step of the way, and for a while, people couldn't tell whether it was Wu or Wu.

After singing for the third time, Xia Anran's voice finally became a little hoarse, but the soldiers were gradually able to sing along with him. After the second repetition, Cao Chun tuned in directly, and Cao Ren had to choke back to his stomach after showing off his skills. Li, I'm just aggrieved.

But Xia Anran didn't care at all, he took the drumstick that was frozen in mid-air by Cao Ren, and it was a blow.

"A man determined to go out of his hometown"

Another blow

"If you don't learn, you will never repay your fame"

The drum beats to the heavens.

"There is no need for hometown to bury bones"

Throw the ground with a sound.

"Where is life without green hills"

In the end, Xia Anran put down the drumsticks, and when he himself exited that agitated state, he would crouch down in shame. The author of this "White Horse Chapter" was still lying in the nurse's arms at this time, so naturally he didn't know that there was such a thing. A villain has used his poems and has no intention of rectifying his name.

It's over, I finally embarked on the old path of plagiarizing other people's poems!Xia Anran almost wanted to cover her face.

I feel that he has really traveled through more than ten years, and once returned to before liberation!

Seeing that he was shy, Cao Chun only smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Just at this moment when the morale was high, they suddenly heard the warning from the long whistle. It was the soldiers who climbed up to watch and saw the black sand moving from a distance, coming towards it.

It was the locusts that came.

Cao Cao laughed, and raised his long halberd, "You guys! Let's fight this bug first!"

"Here!"

What the soldiers raised were not weapons, but net bags. Although they were not facing the enemy's arrows, they were more terrifying than arrows.

If you let the arrow go, you will lose your own life, but if you let one of the worms go, what will be destroyed is the ration of the family and the shelter of the people of the family.

"Not a single one was missed!"

"kill--"

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: Wait, you are just going to catch bugs!Don't be so excited, hey! !

Soldier: Duck! ! ! !

Xia Miao: It doesn’t matter even if you let it go, just pay attention to killing insect eggs when the time comes...

Soldier: Kill them all and leave none! ! !

Xia Miao: ... Forget it, as long as you are happy.

Outside the short story,

After a long time, Xia Anran, who was holding malt candy, quietly stuffed the candy in front of Cao Zijian who was drooling: Xiaobao, my brother did something sorry for you, if you forgive me, I will give you a lollipop ! ! !

Cao Xiaoang, the responsible eldest son of Cao (helpless): Brother Jingxi, my little brother hasn't grown teeth yet...you can't eat candy.

"White Horse Chapter" is really nice to listen to. It is currently the author's Bai Yueguang. If you are curious, you can go to the author's Weibo to read it.

Really really really good to hear!

Suona is indeed a hooligan, we still had gongs and drums at that time~~~~~~

The gold of Mingjin and Suibing is the gong, and the drum is the drum, but at this time, there are not many people who use them as musical instruments. After all, everyone will be very nervous when they hear it. Xia Miao applied for it when he used it.

About the locust thing...

China is a country prone to locusts, and locust plagues will occur in as long as eight years and as short as two years.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a severe locust plague in Xiaobinghe. After that, every dynasty in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties had locust plagues, including after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Many people will ask: locusts can be eaten, why not eat locusts...

This question is actually very complicated.

Do you know about cricket fighting? If you have a baby who has played this game before, you should know where you poke when teasing the cricket. One is the head, and the other is where the thigh is next to the butt. Their rage points.

If a large-scale locust plague breaks out, the locusts that are very close will affect each other, so the locusts that attack the farmland are basically [angry locusts] and locusts are big animals and fly fast. Although they don’t eat meat But just like this, the momentum is very terrifying, just like a small hailstone.

Therefore, if a locust plague really broke out, the people would not dare to go out.Even if you go out, you can only shiver and protect your head. It is feasible to fish with a net bag, but the premise is that you are not facing the attack of locusts directly and the number is not very large.

There are people who eat locusts. The Tang Dynasty ate locusts, but the people would rather do less than do more. As long as there is one person who says "locusts are a disaster from heaven", the people in a village will not eat them, especially later. After the saying [Killing harms the harmony of nature] came into being.

Finally, let’s talk about why the locust plague is so harmful.

The timeline is like this. Locusts do not appear suddenly. They are usually just a link in the ecological chain, but if there is a drought, they will lay eggs in very dry soil.

If the drought is in May/June, then around July/August the first batch of successfully born locusts will appear, and then this batch of locusts will sweep the land.Crops that were lucky enough to survive the drought were emptied.The common people have no harvest, but ordinary people can still survive at this time.

But this batch of locusts will lay eggs in large numbers, and around May next year, a batch of locusts will hatch.The locusts in May will eat all the grain (May is when most of the grain is about to be harvested) and the locusts in May will lay eggs again, and another batch will hatch in July.

In other words, the locust plague is not one time, but will last for more than two years.No matter how rich a farmer is, there is no way to store grain for two years.This is why the plague of locusts is terrible.

However, the general locust plague will not last until the third year. As long as the weather is humid, the bacteria that grow in the soil will devour the locust eggs, so that the number of hatched locust eggs will become an acceptable number.

In other words, the first wave of locust plagues will not be very large, and the second year will be the most terrifying.But if the climate is humid in the second half of the year, many of these eggs will die, and there will be minor disasters in the second year, but no major disasters.

This is also the time when nature invisibly gives crops a rest.

As for if someone asks farmers why they don’t eat locusts when they are about to starve to death, it’s because when the locusts come, they are usually not starving to death... and when they are about to starve to death, the locusts have already left.

But let’s be honest, locusts are delicious…

Also, locusts are very nutritious, and now it is said that they are already 35 yuan a catty (quiet Mimi broken thoughts)

Locusts will have parasites, and their current food will basically have pesticide residues, so if you want to eat locusts, you should go to a regular place to buy them. There are professional breeding. It is best not to catch and eat them in the community. Taobao has a purchase...cough.

A man aspires to go out of his hometown. If he does not become famous in his studies, he will not pay back. Why should he bury his bones in his homeland? Where is his life? Green hills are poems written by Saigo Takamori, a political activist during the Meiji Restoration period in Japan. They were also quoted and adapted by Mao=Grandpa. Here The original poem is quoted.

Although you don’t care about it, I still have to say that the number of words in the poems in this article does not affect the points.
