ps: Today’s recommendation ticket will reach 200 and will be updated tomorrow

Thinking of the dilapidated appearance of the fief before, and looking at the current fief, Liu Hong felt quite proud when comparing the two.In just two years, while keeping a low profile as much as possible, the fiefdom has undergone a major change, which is not a small achievement.

Having not been to the fief for two years, Liu Hong looked around and looked around, feeling that everything was new.

"The construction of the fief is good, it seems that I will have to visit it often in the future."

The fief is not far from the Hou's Mansion, so it stands to reason that Liu Hong should not have visited the fief for two years.In fact, Liu Hong also wanted to play in the fief, but since such an academy was built on the fief, Liu Hong lost all interest.

Liu Hong didn't have any objections to the academy itself, and he also ordered the academy to be built.Because the academy recruited children from nearby villagers for free, it also won a great reputation for the Hou Mansion.

The reason why Liu Hong didn't come to the fief anymore was mainly because after the academy was built, Liu Hong's mother, Mrs. Dong, wanted Liu Hong to study in the academy.

Learning is valuable than anything else.Mrs. Dong's thoughts are also understandable.

But Liu Hong didn't think so. Hearing Mrs. Dong's request, Liu Hong curled his lips and said to himself: "Let me go to study, what kind of international joke! I have been studying for more than ten years in my previous life, and I have long been tired of reading. Now I am asking you to study." Going to study, there is no way! Besides, I want to be the emperor in this life, not to be the number one scholar, just know the words and understand the meaning, so why don't you use my strength to study?"

The reason why Liu Hong hates reading so much is all the resentment left by reading novels on the Internet in his previous life, and now he is suddenly inspired by Mrs. Dong's proposal.

In Liu Hong's view, reading and studying are just tools to make his life better in the future.Therefore, we must determine the goal before learning, and we cannot learn for the sake of learning.

Look at people in ancient times, how clear the goals of those scholars were. Studying is for the imperial examination and for becoming an official in the future.Later generations also have a clear goal of learning, and the purpose of the city is to assign a good job.In rural areas, not only in order to be assigned a good job, but also to obtain urban hukou, they fled the countryside.

But later on, jobs were no longer assigned, urban hukou was no longer valuable, and people's learning goals were not clear.I only know how to study, but I don't know what to study for. Whether it is useful or not, I have to go to university, and I don't care about my actual situation at all.It's like if you don't go to college, you can't become a talent, and if you don't go to college, you can't be successful.Even if he knew that after finishing university, he would still not be able to find a job if he didn't fight for his father, but this thought could not be changed.

Although Liu Hong could not understand this kind of situation, he could learn a lot of knowledge after going to school. Regardless of whether the knowledge is useful or not, it is always a good thing.Moreover, those with a diploma can get more opportunities than those without a diploma, and it cannot be said that they are doing something wrong, but those novels are not for fun.

If you look at the novels on the Internet, how many of them do not go to school?Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, whether it is useful or not, you must go to school.Get rich, go to school again, reborn, go to school, get alien high-tech, also go to school, cultivate the truth, still have to go to school, even after crossing, to another world, you must go to school.

If you want to go to school, you have to go to school, but no matter who they are, once they enter the school, they hardly stay in the school. Apart from paying a large amount of tuition fees to the school, they have little relationship with the school.Liu Hong was puzzled, why are you running to school like this, and you don't study, so you go to school just to pick up girls?

This kind of novel, one book or two, Liu Hong can bear it.However, the Internet is full of such books, which inevitably makes Liu Hong resentful, and directly makes Liu Hong resist going to school.In order to protest Mrs. Dong's decision, Liu Hong didn't even go to the location of the academy.

This is also due to the fact that in the Han Dynasty, the imperial examination system had not yet appeared. Although reading is important, it is far from reaching the level of later generations.Moreover, the status of a woman is quite low, and she can't be a family at all, even the Marquis is no exception.The real master of the Hou Mansion was bewitched by Liu Hong a long time ago, so he didn't go to school, and no one forced him.If he dared to make such a rebellious decision in later generations, the result would be hard to say.

Liu Hong walked and thought, and soon came to the crop field.

"There are quite a few grasshoppers in the field, and there are dozens of them in a square of land. If they are allowed to develop, this locust plague will definitely take shape." Looking at these locusts, Liu Hong kept thinking, "This is not possible. , I have to think of a way."

This is not Liu Hong's random kindness, although the people are pitiful, but with his family background, even if the present is not what it used to be, how many people can he help.

But it's not okay to let it go, the world will be his in the future.And according to the history books of later generations, there will be locust plagues almost every year after that, Liu Hong can't let it develop, otherwise he will be the unlucky one in the end.So he must think of a way to deal with the locust plague.

Moreover, this locust plague is the only natural disaster that can be actively eliminated.If even Liu Hong can't solve this problem, then he will have nothing to do with other disasters.

"If you want to eradicate locusts, you can only use people to catch them in this era. The most effective way to get people to catch locusts is to rely on temptation!"

Thinking of this, Liu Hong gave the order.Inform all the people nearby that the Hou Mansion trades grain for locusts, three catties of locusts for one catty of grain, and as much as you have.

As for what to do after the locusts are exchanged, Liu Hong also has enough consideration.Not to mention that the locust itself is very delicious and can be made into dishes for sale.Even if no one eats it, making it into feed is also an option.

Liu Hong built an ecological farm, which is quite large in scale.Not to mention the dozen or so farms in other states, even the farm in Hejian is huge in scale.

The reason why an ecological farm is called an ecological farm is that its ecology maintains a balance. There is a nearly complete biological chain in the entire farm, so a large group of chickens and ducks are raised on the farm.

And thanks to the advent of heated kangs and simple thermometers, chickens and ducks can be hatched artificially on farms.As long as Liu Hong is willing, there will be a large number of chickens and ducks on the farm in a short time, so Liu Hong is not afraid of how many locusts there are.

Even if chickens and ducks can't eat because there are too many locusts collected, Liu Hong can still store them.After all, chickens and ducks always have to eat. Even if there are no locusts, Liu Hong still needs to feed them with grain.Now three catties of locusts are exchanged for one catty of grain, which will help Liu Hong save a lot of grain. This is definitely a win-win idea.

Moreover, Liu Hong's family has many restaurants, and Liu Hong can also make locusts into dishes and sell them in restaurants.Even if people do not recognize it temporarily, as time goes by, people will gradually accept it.After all, locusts can become a famous dish in later generations, and it is impossible that they could not be sold completely in the Han Dynasty.

Hearing that the Hou Fu exchanged grain for locusts, people were all excited.In previous years, the plague of locusts was encountered, and this year's harvest was considered to be over.The young and strong can still go out to find a way to survive, while the old and weak can only wait at home to die.

Now the Hou Mansion is exchanging food for locusts, which is considered to be a way for everyone to survive.Although losses are inevitable, there is no need to wait for death.This is a life-saving kindness. Amid everyone's gratitude, they desperately publicized the kindness of the Hou Mansion, which made the Hou Mansion gain a great reputation.
