In order to come up with effective governance methods, Liu Ke exchanged books such as "Essentials for Elevating the People" and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" from the system mall.
Among them, "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" is divided into 12 categories, with a total of 60 volumes and more than 500,000 words. The author of this book is Xu Guangqi, and it was written during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation more than a thousand years later.
Among them, there is a volume in the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" called "Locust Elimination", which contains information about locust plagues in the Central Plains for more than 2,000 years since the Warring States Period.
Among this vast amount of materials, Liu Ke noticed that locust plagues occurred at very regular times:
Among the 151 locust plagues recorded in history, 19 occurred in April of the lunar calendar, 12 in May, 31 in June, 20 in July, 12 in August, and a total of only 9 in other months.
However, just when Liu Ke was sorting out information and studying how to deal with the locust plague, something unexpected happened.
Because the arid environment is suitable for the breeding of locusts, the outbreak of locust plagues is usually accompanied by drought. In ancient China, there was a saying that "when drought is extreme, locusts emerge".
The ancients believed that droughts occurred because of a monster called the "drought demon", and locust plagues occurred because of the power of the "Locust God".
Therefore, when droughts and locust plagues break out, people usually carry out activities of "fighting the drought demon" and "worshiping the locust god".
However, this approach will obviously have no effect.
It is no different from waiting for locusts to destroy crops and then migrating elsewhere.
"Changwen, why didn't you stop it?" Guo Jia asked.
This kind of sacrificial activity is a provocation and a provocation to the government.
"If such a spontaneous behavior of the people is stopped rashly, it may lose the support of the people." Chen Qun explained.
Yangzhou has popularized basic education, and the so-called "Locust God" will only become a joke in Yangzhou.
However, Jizhou is different from Yangzhou. Chen Qun has just taken over, so how can it be possible overnight.
If he were to stop it forcefully, Chen Qun would definitely be able to do it, but the gain would outweigh the loss.
The people of Jizhou are in troubled times. The three Zhang Jiao brothers broke out the most violent Yellow Turban uprising here, disrupting all production order.
Later, Huangfu Song killed many people here.
After becoming the governor of Jizhou, Huangfu Song, a ruthless man who would do whatever it took to achieve success, could not help but pity the people of Jizhou and applied to the imperial court for tax exemptions.
What¡¯s even more pitiful is that the application was rejected by Shi Changshi!
The people of Jizhou experienced a hard life for a long time. It was not until Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou that things improved.
"It's a pity that the good times did not last long. Yuan Shao expanded his army aggressively, which once again harmed the interests of the people. In the end, Yuan Shao was defeated!"
What Chen Qun took over was this kind of mess.
Now that the people choose to pray to God, Chen Qun can't bear to stop him, even if it gives the people peace of mind.
"I have a general understanding of the situation. Is there anything else you want to say?" Liu Ke asked.
"My lord, this is not a simple sacrifice. I'm afraid there is someone behind it." Chen Qun said.
"Tell me your guess." Liu Kedao.
"Some people believe that the locust plague is sent by God to punish the people. When encountering a locust plague, the emperor must fast and bathe, issue an edict for sin, and officials must lead the people to worship the insect god." Chen Qun said.
Liu Ke was furious.
The current ruler of Jizhou is Liu Ke. Some people want to slander him.
Since we can¡¯t defeat him on the frontal battlefield, we¡¯ll start with the gods to attack Liu Ke¡¯s prestige.
"I'm afraid rumors will spread next. The reason why the locust plague broke out in Jizhou is because the Lord lacks virtue and kills too much." Guo Jia deduced.
"Is there any clue about this matter?" Liu Ke asked.
"There are some clues." Chen Qun said, "I'm afraid this is the work of Yuan Shao's remnants."
¡°Investigate, investigate ruthlessly, and never tolerate it,¡± Liu Kedao said.
¡°These days, the people who are most easily deceived are the common people.
Under normal circumstances, demagoguery starts from two aspects. On the one hand, it is to pay a price, and on the other hand, it is to harm the interests of the people.
In this way, the people will become restless.
¡°As long as someone takes action, they will definitely leave traces. If you follow this line of investigation, you will always gain something.
"I have deployed manpower to trace the source of the rumors, but it will take some time." Chen Qun?.
Chen Qun is very considerate in everything he does.
¡°If you need manpower, just let us know.¡± Liu Kedao.
Liu Ke brought an army of 500,000!
In fact, this point once troubled Chen Qun. I am afraid that it was precisely because of Liu Ke's big move that Xiaoxiao's people lurked.
"Otherwise, it would be time for Chen Qun to find out the person behind the scenes.
But it is equally impossible to refuse Liu Ke to come.
It¡¯s not because of Liu Ke¡¯s prestige. With Chen Qun¡¯s qualifications, he can still speak.
The most important thing is because of the locust plague!
In the face of tracing the truth, Chen Qun believed that controlling the locust plague was more important, so he made a choice.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'm still confident in this little thing." Chen Qun said.
"That's good. Are there no problems with Tian Feng and Guo Tu?" Liu Ke asked.
Tian Feng and Guo Tu were both demoted generals. If they hindered Chen Qun's governance, Liu Ke felt it necessary to move them.
After all, we are in a critical period now.
"Actually, I have been sending people to monitor them. Although Tian Feng is arrogant, he is down-to-earth. As for Guo Tu, he is good at sociability and has a good relationship with everyone. I am not sure about their loyalty, but the rumors have nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter." Chen Qun said.
Seeing Chen Qun being so cautious, Liu Ke felt relieved.
Now that the team has expanded, Liu Ke cannot take care of everything. His memory is considered outstanding, but there are so many officials, how can he remember them all one by one.
Therefore, we can only leave some matters to our subordinates.
"The issue of military power must be well controlled. If you just incite some common people, you won't achieve great things." Liu Kedao then added, "If the common people take up arms, don't treat them as common people."
"Understood!" Chen Qun said.
Next, Liu Ke led his army to Julu County and stationed here.
The signs of this locust plague outbreak were discovered in Julu County, Wei County, and Changshan County.
These counties are also relatively close to Bingzhou.
And Julu County is located in the middle, which is convenient for the mobilization of the army.
Hearing that Liu Ke was coming, people kept coming to visit him.
Most of them have the same meaning, which is to let Liu Ke worship the insect god.
Now that Liu Ke is not the emperor, there is no need for the sinner edict, but there must be sacrifices, right?
Of course, this is the common people¡¯s view.
Liu Ke was directly rejected.
???????????Liu Ke cannot be said to love the people like a son, but he basically responds to requests and respects the people.
But this time, it was impossible for Liu to agree.
The people are ignorant, do you want to follow suit?
The best way to silence people is to directly control the locust plague! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
