After returning from White Horse Temple, Li Mu devoted himself to the locust plague.

Although there is hope for food, disasters are disasters. In the face of major disasters, there is still less loss or less loss. Li Mu asked Li Tai to check the ancient methods of controlling locust plagues. The records of each dynasty are different, but they all have similarities. In summary, there are roughly three methods.

The first is a completely stupid method, to catch locusts with your hands and then trample on them to death. This method can be figured out by anyone, but there is no way to do it. When the locust plague is lighter, it will be used in some ways. When the locust plague is slightly more serious, it will basically be useless at all, and the manpower and material resources consumed are not proportional.

The second method has evolved a little bit. It can be called the "strike method". This method is for villagers to use bamboo poles to support an eight-foot-long white cloth, chase it from three sides in the direction of the wind, drive the locusts to one place, and then concentrate their efforts to beat it. This method has a long history and has been recorded during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is considered the "mainstream method" for farmers to fight locust plagues. The old farmers' "consultants" convened by Li Mu also recommended this method.

Although the method of playing is simple, it consumes too much human and physical strength. There is also a prerequisite, that is, there must be a "cloth". For some people, there is no such "cloth" at home, so they can only use branches, and the effect will be greatly reduced. So during the Han Dynasty, another step has evolved. According to the convenience of the terrain, there is no need for "cloth" to surround and block it. It is changed to digging a large number of large pits two feet deep and wide in the area where the locusts have to pass. Then after the locusts arrive, they use green vegetables and green leaves to introduce the locusts into the pit, and then concentrate their efforts to fill it. If this method is smooth, "annihilation of the enemy" is also excellent, and usually one burying one large area. The operation is also high. Once the soil is buried too shallow, the locusts can also drill out. Moreover, in the process of "grabbing the enemy", problems are easy to arise. If the boss is useless to dig the pit, the locusts cannot come, and it is only a matter of nothing.

I looked up countless ancient books and asked many old farmers. The final solution seemed to be not so effective. However, in the face of a major disaster, the locusts had already eaten all the food. For the sake of the present, they had to "take three-pronged approach". In villages with conditions, everyone took out all the cloths and sewed them together to surround the locusts. In places without conditions, they organized young and strong people to dig pits and prepare to fill the locusts. Women, children and children should not be idle. A few can be caught, and it is not in vain to catch them. Li Mu issued a notice that the dead locusts weighed them, and they could exchange them for food one by one. But this is also a cliché measure and there is nothing new.

Three days passed like this, and there was still no news from Ma Zhou. Last night, Ma Zhou had arrived at Taiyuan territory and went to Taiyuan for 900 miles. In other words, within this 900 miles, he had not received a grain of food. Li Mu remembered Mrs. Lu's words yesterday, and Jisitang's local power was really terrifying!

The food was only enough for six days, and the attitude of the people in the city became worse. In the morning, several stalls selling rice were robbed in front of the Marquis’s Mansion. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei suppressed it, so there was no chaos. Some went out of the city to seek relatives. Although locusts were flooded in the village, many people still had food reserves, which was better than staying in the city and starving to death after six days.

Li Mu did not stop these people, as locusts were flooded outside the city. If these people escaped, they could still help kill the locusts. It was not a waste of time. Instead, they stayed in the city. Even if they spent money to buy food by themselves, it would consume the food in the city and would be useless for disaster relief.

...

After a day of trouble outside, when Li Mu returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already the moon. Bai Qiaoqiao was about to give birth, and no one could take care of him. In order to relieve the disaster, Li Mu went out before dawn and returned only after dark. Zhang Tianai also cared about the affairs of the Jinyiwei and maintained the public order in the city, which was later than Li Mu's return. The responsibility of taking care of Bai Qiaoqiao fell on Jin Chen. The rest of the matter inside and outside had to be maintained by Wei Yingluo. In the huge Marquis' Mansion, there were 60 or 70 people who had dinner every day, and the affairs were complicated, and no less than the Fengchen Bureau. But at this time, no one could take time to share the responsibility. She could only learn a little bit. She was not sure and discussed with Bai Qiaoqiao. After a few days, she actually took over it.

Li Mu was naturally happy to see Wei Yingluo's growth, and thought in his mind that when the disaster passed, if Wei Yingluo had the heart to stand alone, he would arrange her position and not let her down.

"Husband, do you want to take a shower?" Jin Chen brought Li Mu a cup of hot tea, put a pair of soft wits on his shoulders, and asked softly. Li Mu held her hand, shook his head gently, and said, "No need to be so troublesome, just make a basin of water to soak your feet. I've been busy all day long," Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Now I can fall asleep when I fall on the bed-"

"Thank you for your hard work, my husband."

"It's nothing to work hard, I just can't think of a solution," Li Mu sighed and said, "I used to think of nothing that could be difficult for me. I could come up with any problem. But this time, I really feel powerless. Those locusts have slaughtered and have another one, more than one day, as if I won't stop until I eat up all the green leaves-"

"Husband, there has been no good idea for locust plagues for thousands of years. You have done a good job. Your Majesty will definitely not blame you."

"Ha," Li Mu chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of Your Majesty's blame?" Li Mu said, "What I'm afraid of is the eyes of the people. You haven't seen how pitiful those people are with your own eyes. They have worked hard to plant a year and are just guarding the city. The ears of the seedlings have been grouted and can be harvested in another half a month. But now, in order to stop the spread of the locust plague, they have to cut them all. What's the difference between this and picking up flesh with a knife?"

"Husband--" This was the first time Jin Chen saw Li Mu like this, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

Li Mu took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "What are you doing when you tell me about this? If you are tired, please help me get a basin of water. Soak my feet and go to bed early."

"Yes." Jin Chen turned around and fed water, helped Li Mu take off his shoes and socks, and wanted to wash his feet, but Li Mu stopped him and asked her to accompany Bai Qiaoqiao. Because he got up early these days and returned late, Li Mu did not sleep in the same room with Bai Qiaoqiao, and Jin Chen was with her.

Jin Chen knew that the person Li Mu was most worried about was Bai Qiaoqiao. He obediently passed by and told Li Mu that after soaking his feet, she would clean up tomorrow. Regarding Li Mu, the women at home reached a tacit understanding and did not let the maid take care of him. Li Mu could also guess why. The women at home probably had reached an agreement on this aspect. The family has a large population and they didn't want to add a person for no reason.

The water was very hot. Li Mu tried several times before putting his feet into the water. The heat rose and blood circulation seemed to have accelerated a little. Li Mu slowly fell on the recliner and breathed comfortably.

Every day when soaking your feet is a rare time to relax. Li Mu will take this time to sort out what he has done today and set a priority for what he wants to do tomorrow. Maybe he was too tired, Li Mu thought about it for a while, took a nap, and fell asleep in a daze.

When Li Mu sleeps, he will roughly be divided into three situations. No dreams, dreams, and consciousness remains in the system to "browse". The three ways, the body can rest, which is reflected in the system is the recovery of the "physical strength value". The difference lies in the degree of mental recovery. If there is no dream, the mental recovery is the best. When there is a dream, the degree of mental recovery varies according to what dreams are. When consciousness remains in the system, the spirit is basically equivalent to "not sleeping", and it will appear to be less energetic the next day.

Normally, if Li Mu hadn't consciously entered the system, his sleep would still be the same as that of a normal person.

But today, I don’t know if it was a subconscious idea. After Li Mu closed his eyes, he actually entered the system. He has been busy with disaster relief these days, and Li Mu has not entered the system for many days. Today, he “accidentally entered” into the system, which was an accident. Just when Li Mu wanted to quit and have a good sleep, a system prompt appeared.

"The player's accumulated proficiency in each skill reaches one million, and the system search function is unlocked."

What the hell?

Li Mu took a closer look and understood what it meant. The roughly means that his various sub-service skills were accumulated together, such as forging, leather making, pharmaceuticals, etc., and all his proficiency was added to more than one million, and the system gave him a small function.

What the hell is the search function?

Li Mu didn't remember adding this kind of thing when he was working on this deputy system. He reached out and "clicked" the prompt interface to understand what this function was.

This is a "search" function, similar to a search engine, which can search for keywords. In "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", this function does not need to be unlocked at all, and the interface is default. Unexpectedly, in your own body, this basic function must be unlocked.

What's the use of unlocking something that is dispensable? Can it improve your skill level? Or can it help in the current situation?

Li Mu was stunned for a while and planned to quit and go to bed. Suddenly he had a whim and thought about whether to try it out. Maybe there are props in the system that can be helpful. After all, he was only responsible for data balance. Tens of thousands of recipes, scrolls, and fun props in the system were added by different groups of planners, and not every one of them was known.

"It won't be a good idea to try it, right?" Li Mu muttered, and entered 'locust' in the search box. He clicked on the search and a few props immediately appeared in front of him.

[Formula: insecticide. A kind of medicine that kills pests, such as beetles, flies, grubs, noseworms, hogworms and nearly 10,000 other pests, which require intermediate pharmaceuticals.].

This thing is a bit useful, but the problem is that locusts are everywhere now, so how many portions of insecticide are needed. Judging from the materials in this formula, the price is not cheap, and the materials cannot be collected in a short period of time, so it cannot be implemented at all.

The following recipes include insect catcher nets, insect catchers, etc., which are similar and all look beautiful, but they are unrealistic to implement.

Just when Li Mu wanted to give up, a recipe suddenly came to his eyes. [Recipe: Insect Insect.] There is a special locust mark on the recipe scroll. This mark means that this is an exclusive item that can only be used to deal with special bosses, and is mostly used to solve wild bosses.

Li Mu looked carefully at the recipe instructions, just like he thought. This is an exclusive item used for the "Locust Valley" map. After it is made, you can lure out the level 30 silver boss Locust King. Locust Valley is a level 20-level training map of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty"
