Now, the people's enthusiasm for pest control is rising. If they suddenly set fire to the food and burn the pit, it will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction among the people, and even direct resistance is not impossible!
"Sigh... Although setting fire to it is the lowest cost option, the people will definitely not agree so easily..." Su Chen held his forehead with a headache.
"Forget it, what is supposed to come will always come!"
After thinking for a while, Su Chen no longer wanted to be a mother-in-law, it would be best to burn it all!
Of course, if Su Chen wants to carry out this matter, he will definitely not be able to do it by himself. He will also have to ask Liu Mo, the governor of Guanzhou, to cooperate when the time comes.
He is the governor of Guanzhou, and he must be much more efficient in executing orders.
"Come here, send a message to Governor Liu and ask him to come see me. I have something important to say!"
Not being careless, Su Chen directly called the guard and asked him to find Liu Mo.
After a while, Liu Mo, who had just completed a spraying job, had no time to rest and was brought over panting.
At this time, Liu Mo was still a little confused.
He had just finished his business and didn't even have time to take a sip of water. If he hadn't known the two guards who took him away directly and knew they were Su Chen's guards, otherwise he would have thought they were Su Chen's guards.
"Guard... Protector of the country, why are you calling me?"
Liu Mo offered his hand respectfully and lowered his head, just like a child who had done something wrong, without the demeanor of a state governor.
Su Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry too much. I'm here to find you. Naturally, I have something to tell you. Please sit down first."
Liu Mo bowed his hands and immediately sat on a chair.
"Let me ask you, what is the situation in areas where locust larvae have hatched now after they have been sprayed with pesticides?"
Su Chen asked.
Hearing this, Liu Mo quickly replied: "Reporting to the Lord Protector, although spraying drugs can still kill these locusts, the effect on those larvae does not seem to be particularly good, and the number has not been reduced too much...
"
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly and showed a thoughtful look.
It was not that he had not guessed about this situation.
After all, pesticides are sprayed from high altitude and do not fall directly on the ground. It is normal for the effect to be less effective.
"I have a method that may be able to eradicate these larvae problems."
Su Chen said.
Liu Mo's body trembled, and he asked excitedly: "Does the Protector have any clever ideas?
!”
Now, Liu Mo is also troubled by these damn desert locusts, and he thinks about how to completely eliminate them every day.
As the governor of a state, if he cannot solve this problem, he will definitely be punished by the court.
Therefore, Su Chen, the Protector of the Country, was his only life-saving straw.
Su Chen put down the tea cup in his hand, his face became serious, and he said: "Set fire! Burn all the fields!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Liu Mo was frightened and sat there blankly, like a sculpture.
"this……"
In an instant, Liu Mo came out of his daze, looked very panicked, and shouted directly: "Duke Protector, this plan is absolutely unacceptable!"
"If we burn all the fields, the people will probably go crazy!"
"Now, there are at least 20% of the grain stored in the fields, and the people are counting on this to survive!"
"Today, the locust plague has been greatly reduced after the hot air balloons sprayed medicine. As long as we last for a while, we will be able to completely eliminate these locusts. There is no need to take such desperate risks!"
Now, Liu Mo was really anxious and had no intention of obeying Su Chen.
Su Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "I say, Mr. Liu, please listen to my words before you get excited. I have already thought of what you said."
"Um?"
Liu Mo's eyes were full of doubts.
If the fields are burned down, what else can be done to remedy the situation?
Su Chen said slowly: "You should remember the medicine I asked you to use before the hot air balloon spraying?"
"Remember."
Liu Mo nodded.
When the locust plague first broke out in the north, Su Chen immediately came up with a countermeasure, which was to use some bait to attract the locusts to one place and then kill them uniformly.
At that time, Su Chen also asked them to use pesticides.
However, the pesticides at that time were different from those used now, and the concentrations were also different.
"Let me tell you this, the medicine I asked you to use at that time actually had a certain impact on the fertility of the land, so I asked you to stay away from cultivated land when using it."
"And the drug we are using now is at least ten times more destructive to the land than before!"
"How much land do you think will survive after such large-scale spraying?"
Su Chen directly showed his cards, feeling that there was no need to continue to be secretive. What was supposed to come would still come, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
"This this……"
Now, Liu Mo was completely frightened by Su Chen.
He is not stupid either. Since Su Chen said so, I am afraid that the land will really be unable to recover in the short term. Even if the land is not set on fire, the food will not be saved.
Liu Mo's vision went dark and he almost collapsed to the ground, but he still held on to the chair.
"well……"
Seeing this, Su Chen sighed silently.
If not forced by the situation, who would be willing to use such drastic measures?
Not only did Liu Mo not want to see the land in Guanzhou go to waste, Su Chen, the number one farmer, also didn't want to see it.
However, this is the reality. If Su Chen doesn't do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future.
Once the locust plague cannot be controlled, it will not only be Guanzhou that will suffer, but the entire Tang Dynasty!
For the sake of the overall situation, Su Chen had to do this!
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and an invisible light flashed past.
If he finds out who planned such a locust plague, he will definitely make him pay a heavy price of regret for the rest of his life!
Seeing Liu Mo just sitting there with his eyes in a daze, Su Chen didn't say anything more and drank tea by himself.
He knew that it would be difficult for Liu Mo to accept the reality for a while, so it was better to let him take it easy.
After a long time, Liu Mo's eyes regained some brilliance.
After his mouth trembled for a few times, Liu Mo said tremblingly: "Duke Protector, I have lost my temper, please forgive me..."
Liu Mo also saw the pros and cons of this matter very clearly in his heart.
Compared with the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty, the food and land of Guanzhou really don't seem that important.
