Chapter 167 Come, make this bowl of poisonous chicken soup!
Chenliu County, Cai Mansion, study room.
Dian Wei, who was with a tiger back and a bear waist, guarded the door and paid close attention to the people coming and going. His task was to protect Lu Yu, because of his mother's instructions, he did not dare to slack off at all!
Today, Lu Yu came to the study early in the morning.
Cai Zhaoji, Zhuge Jun, and Cao Mu are also here.
now…
Due to the restrictions of raw materials, the forging workshop and the oil mill were idle all of a sudden. Zhuge Jun and Cao Mu had nothing to do, so they came to the study to attend classes every day as usual.
Cai Zhaoji has thousands of books hidden in her chest, and she can pick them up at will and will teach them some of the ways of saints.
Lu Yu doesn't come often, but... occasionally, he will mention these two newly promoted Forging Firm and Oil Firm, which is considered to be a pre-job training before expansion of reproduction.
However... Seeing Lu Yu, it seemed that Zhuge Jun and Cao Mu had infinite questions in their eyes.
Of course, this is not about academics but about "locusts"!
That’s right... Now, the entire Chenliu County has come. The locusts in the six counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou can be eaten, and they taste delicious and have a great nourishment! But when it comes to other counties, it will be miserable... Whoever eats them will die.
Liu Bei from Xia Pi City is the most unlucky, and the public is full of grievances...
But some other prefectures and counties also don’t believe in evil. Why can the people under Cao Cao eat locusts, and the people under their control cannot eat them? Is your stomach infused with iron?
There were state patriarchs and county magistrates who were not afraid of death... to organize the people to catch locusts. They dared not try to take human lives, so they let chickens and ducks eat them. As a result... without exception, chickens and ducks were poisoned to death!
When this incident comes, eating locusts becomes a fantasy story!
Now, the entire Yanzhou, the entire Chenliu County... everyone's focus and the topic of discussion among the people is on this locust.
Why? It’s okay if we eat it? Are we...we Yanzhou people strong?
The people themselves do not believe this reason.
The only one who can answer this question is the legendary Onmyoji, Lu Yu!
Looking at Zhuge Jun's suspicious face and Cao Mu's big blinking eyes, full of curiosity, Lu Yu decided not to tell them and let them imagine it!
"Brother Yu, if you know the reason, tell us..."
Cai Zhaoji saw that Cao Mu and Zhuge were both turned away and asked.
In fact... she was also very curious. She even recalled many ancient books and documents from the "Yin and Yang School" school, trying to find some talisman methods from them, but... it seems that no ancient book records the curse seal of this locust!
That's right, what's so amazing now...
Many people really think that someone has applied "cursive seals" to the locusts in the six counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou, purifying their bodies... Therefore, insects can also be used as food.
This mysterious statement reminds people of the talisman and good teacher of Taiping Dao, who cures diseases and expels evil spirits!
Of course, those who know the inside story will naturally associate this "curse seal" with Lu Yu, and will even give out a thumbs behind their backs and cry inwardly.
——The Great Onmyoji Lu Yu, it’s so awesome!
"Sister Zhaoji? Do you really want to know?"
After all, I feel sorry for Sister Zhaoji. Lu Yu can't bear to let her always think about it, so don't associate herself with any monsters.
Cai Zhaoji nodded...
Lu Yu turned his head and asked Zhuge Jun again, Cao Mu. "You two want to know too?"
The same nod...
"Cough cough..." Lu Yu coughed lightly, and just gave them a passionate and emotional "Little Sunflower Zoology Mother Class"!
"Actually, this is very simple!"
Lu Yu started speaking.
"The locusts in our Yanzhou and the locusts in other cities and counties in the Central Plains are both the same species, called the Chinese rice locust!"
"The Chinese rice locusts have their own unique characteristics. Simply put, they will have two forms. When a small number of them are scattered, I call them the "scattered" form. The locusts under this form are introverted and gentle.
, afraid of people, the locusts at this time are green as a whole. This color is non-toxic and can be fried and eaten!"
"But when locusts reach a certain number and gather, it is commonly known as locust plague. Their bodies collide with each other, causing some odors to evaporate. These odors enter the bodies of scattered locusts, which will cause changes in their bodies and secrete them in their bodies.
A liquid!”
"This liquid caused a huge change in the character, temperament and body shape of the locusts, turning into yellow-black shape. At this time, the locusts changed from their original 'scattered' to 'smuggling', and they also became outward-looking
, become violent, become not afraid of people, and even become aggressive to people!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu paused for a moment and continued:
"Locusts of this color cannot be eaten, and the reason... is that the body of the swarm locusts contains toxins! It's nothing for humans to take a small amount, but once they eat too much, they will be poisoned, and then a series of adverse reactions appear."
"Ahem..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yu turned around and looked at Cai Zhaoji, Cao Mu, and Zhuge Jun. "You are a waste of your studies... no, have you learned it?"
Lu Yu was as in-depth and concise as possible, and explained professional terms more easily and easily understood.
In fact, the entomology of locusts is thicker than the Oxford Dictionary, and the calculation of chemical formulas involved... is particularly numerous!
In the last life, when locusts were plagued in Africa in 2020, Internet keyboardists always advocated dispatching 100,000 Chinese duck troops.
In fact, in the face of the sowed locusts, the duck army is not easy to use...
The "benzoacetonitrile" produced in the body of the sowed locusts has a pungent smell, and the duck army will not like to eat it after smelling it;
If the duck army insists on eating it, the sociable locusts will quickly convert the phenylacetonitrile into hydrocyanic acid from the instinct of defense. This is not a problem of being unpleasant or not, it is poisonous!
Lu Yu simply didn't mention these advanced principles... Let Sister Zhaoji and the others understand them themselves!
"Master Lu...I understand." Zhuge Jun nodded first, and he realized...
I have to admit that boys are more talented in the field of biology.
"In other words, scattered locusts can be eaten, while scattered locusts cannot be eaten. Master Lu knew this in advance, so... Before the locusts were plagued, he mobilized the people to catch locusts and curb them.
There are locusts gathering in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, so the locusts here are all scattered, that is, they can eat!”
"And... other prefectures and counties know the reason, but they don't know why... they just copied Master Lu's practice, but they don't know the connotation of this. They draw cats from tigers and learn to walk on handan, so... they eat "shelf" locusts,
Then there was a vicious incident of poisoning among the people. After all, they were only aware of it and were not as good as Master Lu!”
Zhuge Jun said something so much that Cai Zhaoji and Cao Mu understood it completely!
Of course, this little mouth is so sweet. Lu Yu thinks that "Kong Ming" is really a child!
call…
Cai Zhaoji and Cao Mu both breathed lightly. Who would have thought that this was not a talisman of the Yin and Yang family? It was clear that Lu Yu knew more about locusts!
Cai Zhaoji slowly stood up, as the female master, she always had to make a final summary statement:
"In the Analects of Confucius, it is mentioned that 'forty is not confused' is to know the truth, 'fifty is to know the destiny of heaven' is to know the reason, just like this locust, who first knows that the locust can be eaten, and then
Only then can you know that locusts cannot be eaten as much as possible, just like 'Dharma is the nature of nature, and scheming is the way'...You Master Lu is telling you the great truth that you must know the truth and be the reason for it. Do you understand?"
Ah...ah...
After Cai Zhaoji said this, Lu Yu felt that she was so tall and outstanding.
Sure enough, no matter what behavior is, once it is wrapped in words, it will be amazing.
"Cao Mu has received teaching..."
"Liang has also been taught!"
Cao Mu and Zhuge slowly stood up and gave a teacher's greeting to Lu Yu and Cai Zhaoji...
"Okay...this is all about today's class." Lu Yu waved his hand, "Although there is a lack of some raw materials during this period, you can't slack off! Sister Zhao Ji said it well, knowing the reason, and it's the reason,
As the saying goes, you should remember many things silently in your heart, repeatedly ponder, experience them, and understand them to understand the root cause!"
"You are disciples of Sister Zhaoji. You must work hard and never insult the master!"
Lu Yu clenched his fists. This was what his teacher looked like when he was injecting blood from him.
"Tsk..." Cao Mu was quite angry. He was almost the same age, but Lu Yu taught her a lesson...
"Disciple understands." Zhuge Jun bowed humbly and bowed again.
The morning class was over, and Cao Mu and Zhuge Jun slowly withdrew...
Only Lu Yu and Cai Zhaoji are left in this study.
"Brother Yu? When did you know so much about locusts? This is not recorded in ancient books by ancestors?" Cai Zhaoji blinked and asked repeatedly...
This is her most concerned issue.
As Yu Di grew up, she found that she was increasingly unable to understand this little brother!
Even, Yudi became much mysterious, not only his understanding of the "locust", but also...
"There is also the Yin-Yang School? I remember, I have never written any books about the Yin-Yang School for you? Where did you learn these naughty ways?"
The first sentence is quite gentle, while the next sentence is a bit serious.
In the eyes of Confucian disciples, especially those who have been trained by "Dong Zhongshu", all other schools are just a side-minded!
"Ahem..." Lu Yu scratched his head, how should he explain?
"Sister Zhaoji, it is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles is better to read countless people."
Lu Yu remembered the spiritual chicken soup given by the relatives and friends in his previous life. Now, he just opens his mouth. "As for people, what they have experienced in their lifetime will affect the end of their lives, vision determines the pattern, and the big pattern will make life successful.
!It is not that all the truth can only be obtained from books!"
"Besides, the knowledge in ancient books is for pioneering and exploration by our predecessors, and what we need to do is to continue writing a new chapter on the shoulders of giants... So, Sister Zhaoji, don't stick to the predecessors'
The so-called "Why can the channel be so clear, because there is a source of fresh water" "On the paper, no... I finally realize it in the book, and I must practice it myself to know it." This is the reason! Sister Zhaoji
You should also be more flexible in reading!"
Ah...ah...
It was Cai Zhaoji who questioned Lu Yu, but she turned around and asked Lu Yu to teach her...
But even Cai Zhaoji, who is a talented woman in the world, cannot argue at this moment. What Yu brother said was inexplicably reasonable.
At this time, Cai Zhaoji looked like before traveling through time...what you looked like when you read the chicken soup article - That's right, I've cooked this bowl of poisonous chicken soup!
"Sister Zhaoji, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. See you in the evening..."
"Eat chicken tonight!"
As he spoke, Lu Yu slipped out directly...
Only Cai Zhaoji was still stunned in the study, muttering Lu Yu's words just now.
"It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books, and it is better to read countless people than to travel thousands of miles!"
"Practice brings true knowledge?"
"Why do you know the channel clear so much? It's because there is a source of fresh water!"
"And...and...on the paper, it's wrong. What Yudi said is, 'It's always shallow to know what you know on a tree. You must practice it yourself!'"
The more you are, the more you feel that Cai Zhaoji feels... these few words of Yu Di are profound.
No wonder... Yu Di has known so many things since he was a child, and he can judge the changes in the situation from subtle observations... and he can even become the name of "Invisible Lin"!
This is not something that can be done by studying hard, but by studying hard!
Thinking about this, Cai Zhaoji is a bit old-fashioned and a little bit rigid.
No... She also needs to make progress and catch up with Lu Yu's younger brother. Only in this way can she stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Yu's younger brother and move forward together in the future!
Of course, Cai Zhaoji would not know at this moment that he and Lu Yu's younger brother were just shoulder to shoulder, and their bodies were connected to their bodies.
…
Step...step!
Walk out of the study.
"Young Master..." Dian Wei bowed his hand.
During this period, Dian Wei took him with him to protect himself... Lu Yu has become accustomed to it.
After the Battle of Puyang, Cao Xiu and the soldiers of Long Xiao Camp unanimously elected Dian Wei to serve as the guard and protect Lu Yu in person, so that they could feel more at ease.
Lu Yu has no objection to this...
Dian Wei can always bring him a sense of security.
"Where are you going next?" Dian Wei asked...
"Go to the Xun Sima Mansion!" Lu Yu replied without hesitation.
During this period, Cao Cao sent more envoys to Guanzhong and did it in detail. At the same time, he had already asked Cao Hong to order his troops to advance to Luoyang at any time, clear the passes along the way and protect them.
Nowadays, just waiting for the harvest of dry rice and rice, the troops will be able to advance westward.
Logically speaking, Cao Cao made complete preparations for the welcome of the emperor... However, the process of welcoming the emperor was extremely cumbersome, and Lu Yu also planned to discuss with Xun Yu more carefully, and many details... also need to be finalized repeatedly.
This is what is called the so-called attack on the enemy...
Although welcoming the emperor, Cao Cao and a group of generals led their troops to the scene, it was only a month, but in fact, there were more things that the strategists needed to consider!
If the external situation and internal changes are not careful, you may lose everything!
"Go and prepare the carriage..." Dian Wei ordered the guards behind him, and the guards immediately trotted away.
Lu Yu paused and felt the hot temperature around him. He raised his head to look at Jiaoyang in the scorching sun. It was almost August... The first step to welcome the emperor was finally able to take it!
"The dry rice and rice are about to be harvested!" Looking up at the sky, Lu Yu said to himself. "It's been four months of drought, and in August... it's time to rain!"
It was just four months of drought that had already caused Yanzhou to lose a layer of skin. It was hard to imagine how miserable the Sanjiao Land would have become in the two-year drought.
Haha, I guess... Emperor Liu Xie lived a very miserable life?
call…
Take a light breath.
Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and in the end... Yanzhou in August is about to usher in heavy rain, and dry rice and rice will also be harvested. This is a good thing!
etc…
Just as he closed his eyes and sighed, Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.
To be precise, it is a widely circulated among farmers in the past life - there will be severe drought after a major flood, and there will be severe drought after a major flood!
That's right...
Three years of severe drought and flooding, and three years of severe drought. Although there is no scientific basis, this is a saying that farmers have believed in for thousands of years.
Lu Yu tried to analyze, maybe he could understand this way.
The water on the earth will exist in different situations, and its total amount remains constant and will continue to circulate.
Once it starts to rain after a long drought, due to the long-term lack of rain, water gathers in large quantities in the clouds, forming long-term rain, or even short-term heavy rain...
If there is no precaution, it is likely to cause floods!
this…
Lu Yu thought of the flood in 1997 of the Dragon Kingdom era, which was accompanied by a long drought!
Who would have thought that when the heavy rain poured down, it would destroy the embankment and destroy the house in an instant!
call.
With a long breath, Lu Yu's eyes froze.
Although science cannot explain the connection between drought and flood, the farmers' experience of "there will be a major flood after a severe drought" also made Lu Yu dare not neglect it.
It is better to believe that such things are not true than to believe that they are not true!
And... It was just during the heavy rain in August, the place where dry rice and rice were planted was a pond next to the Taishou River. If there was a flood, maybe... the efforts to plant rice in these four months were destroyed in an instant, so we must be careful!
Thinking of this...
"Diandutong..."
"The last one will be here!"
"You go to Taishou River in person immediately to meet General Xiahou, and ask him to prepare for flood prevention in August!" Lu Yu blurted out his words, and his whole body became much more serious.
It seemed that the strength of the words was not enough, Lu Yu added: "Tell him, I calculated that there will be heavy rains in August, and floods will occur in Taishou River. Let him be sure to prevent floods as soon as possible and harvest rice!
”
"Also, Dian Dutong, you will take the soldiers of Long Xiao Camp to Taishou River to help General Xiahou..."
Ah...ah...
Dian Wei was slightly stunned, but motionless. He thought, "Why is it a severe drought now? Why... Is it flood prevention a lot?
Why can’t we tell whether it’s a drought or a flood?
"Don't you understand?" Lu Yu saw that Dian Wei was indifferent and spoke again...
"I...I understand. It's just... just..."
"Just what?"
"Just...my mother said, let me keep my step away from protecting the young master. If I leave, what if Mr. Lu has..."
Before Dian Wei could finish his words, Lu Yu interrupted directly. "Didn't your mother say anything else?"
"I also said, let me listen to Mr. Lu and go through fire and water, and my heart will be overwhelmed. Even if you want me to jump, I have to jump!"
"Isn't that all." Lu Yu's face was serious. "Now, Taishou River is a sea of fire and fire. It can be harvested from floods. This is to go up to Daoshan and down the oil pan. Just say, do you jump or not!"
ah…
Dian Wei was stunned. Seeing Lu Yu's serious appearance, he became serious.
Immediately afterwards, he clenched his fists and blurted out his words.
