"Also, Han Feng, you need to urge Zheng Hun and Zhou Maitian from the arsenal as soon as possible to quickly transport new tools such as barrel carts and rollover carts to Chang'an, and cooperate with Huang Langzhong and Yan Langzhong to place them in various places in Sili to ease the situation.
There will be a drought next year."
Ma Chao added this and continued: "By the way, Zidu, don't spend all your money to buy grain next year, but leave enough materials, seeds and farm tools for next year's farming and sowing."
"By the way, everyone in the Ministry of Rites should also actively visit various places, especially Hanzhong and Liangzhou, and try to let them borrow some food and grass on credit.
Also, the propaganda team must do a good job in publicity and orientation in advance.
Man can conquer nature and must not show up.
What kind of rumors about a strange disaster coming from heaven to the Ma family?"
"Shadow from the Ministry of War, in the spring of next year, you must keep an eye on those guys who seem to be incompatible with each other.
If you find any signs of them, without reporting them, they will immediately confiscate their homes and exterminate them.
Whoever dares to cause trouble for the Ma family at that critical moment, the Ma family will kill them."
"Shit out" "There is also the locust plague.
I thought about it.
Since locusts can eat people, people can also eat locusts.
I remember that locust powder also has medicinal value.
I informed Hua Tuo and asked him to cooperate with the propaganda team and issue a statement in his name. , encouraging disaster victims to eat locusts.”
"Ugh."
At this point, Ma Chao felt that he still had a lot of measures coming out of his head.
But all the civil and military officials of His Highness were retching in waves.
They seemed to be very upset when he told Ma Chao about eating locusts.
Especially when Ma Chao added: "Why haven't you ever eaten that stuff?
It's fried, it's like chicken."
Same taste” "Lord" Xun Yue couldn't bear it at first.
As a scholar of the Xun family, he couldn't understand Ma Chao's request.
He frowned and said, "Locusts are transformed from fish eggs, and they hatch like flying shrimps.
How can you eat it like this?”
"What the hell?"
Ma Chao frowned, and then he realized: People in ancient times didn't know enough about locusts.
Most people thought that locusts looked like shrimps.
They thought they were dry land flying shrimps, something that the gods would bring disaster to.
They all kept away from them.
How could they dare to do so?
Eat with mouth Thinking of this, Ma Chao has an even greater headache.
He knows that next year's drought and earthquake may be easier to deal with, but the locust plague may be the real test for the Ma family.
However, at this time, he had no way to escape.
Thinking of the good things done by that iron-blooded man Li Shimin, he said: "Needless to say, if the locust plague hits next year, I will set an example and eat locusts myself.
If you are afraid of death, You don’t have to follow any of them” In the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a locust plague swept across the Guanzhong Plain.
There are rumors among the people that this was God's punishment for killing Li Shimin's brother and brother.
Only by returning power to the Supreme Emperor can the locust plague be eliminated.
Li Shimin couldn't tell the difference, so he swallowed the locusts alive in grief and anger and issued an edict: "If I am guilty, let the locusts eat my heart and liver.
It is enough to punish me alone.
Do not eat the food of my people."
When all the civil and military officials saw Ma Chao's determination, they all looked at each other and knelt down to express their stance: "If the Lord does not give up, I am willing to suffer with the Lord, even if I die."
But Ma Chao looked at these people looking like they were about to go through fire and water, and he was speechless: You all know that in later generations, fried locusts are a famous dish, especially ancient locusts, which are pollution-free, pollution-free, and highly toxic.
Protein food for you to eat, please wait and enjoy it Finally, Ma Chao looked at Yang Xiu who was drafting another military order.
He suddenly tilted his head and whispered to Xun You and Li Ru: "The Ministry of War is the top priority this time.

Whether it is relocating the victims or maintaining stability under the rule, it must be fair."
"He Wenyou, please take the trouble."
At this point, Ma Chao paused, as if hesitating slightly, and then continued, "In addition, when you split up the refugees and move them, try to move them towards Hangu Pass to fill them up."
"Ah, Lord!"
Xun You and Li Ru immediately understood what Ma Chao meant and looked at each other in shock.
Xun You, in particular, said: "My lord, you have said before that we cannot use such short-sighted strategies that hurt others and ourselves."
"I can't help it."
Ma Chao said with a gloomy face, pointing to the sand table in the center of Deyang Hall: "Fighting war with war is my last step of insurance.
If the famine really gets out of control next year, I can't bring down the entire Ma family."
Once you get in, you won’t care about face anymore.”
After sighing, Ma Chao stared at the map and said leisurely: "As the saying goes, the weak persimmons are picked only when they are weak.
The man who defended Liu Jingzhou is short-sighted and indecisive.
We have to find him."
"But" Xun You said anxiously: "But my lord, for someone to get the official title for the first time now, it is already a huge step forward.
Whether it is military or civil affairs, we must start from a stable place.
If the war continues again in the disaster year next year, Open, I’m afraid” "Gongda, do you think I have any other choice?"
Ma Chao shook his head in pain, as if he was trying to get rid of something: "Although we just had a heated discussion and it was clear-cut, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts.
Once natural disasters come one after another, Whether these things we talk about on paper can work is a matter of debate.
As the head of the Ma family, in order for the victims to survive, I don’t mind being named as the criminal who brought disaster to the country."
"This is alas."
Xun You and Li Ru thought silently, and for a moment they had nothing to say.
In the end, it was Jia Huhu who wanted to break the awkward and heavy atmosphere and asked: "Even so, why didn't the lord choose Hanoi Zhangyang?
Zhangyang's men are only 50,000 people and are vulnerable to a single blow."
"Yes, Zhang Yang is also a soft persimmon, but Zhang Yang only has one Hanoi."
Ma Chao looked back at Jia Xu and explained: "If Zhang Yang can't hold on, can we really fight with him?
Only Liu Biao, who was beaten to death without showing his head.
You guy, after abandoning Wancheng, he will still cede territory to us and seek peace."
Historically, after Li Jue and Guo Si invaded Chang'an together, they had internal strife, and Zhang Ji's mediation failed.
Just in time for the great famine in the fourth year of Chuping, Zhang Ji had no choice but to lead his troops to leave the Chang'an area and invade the northern part of Jingzhou for food.
Jingzhou was Liu Biao's territory, and there was a melee between the two armies.
Unfortunately, Comrade Zhang Ji was hit by a stray arrow and died a very unheroic death.
Zhang Xiu was General Jianzhong in Zhang Ji's army at that time.
After Zhang Ji's death, he would naturally lead the army.
Later, Jia Xu came to seek help, and the first thing he did for Zhang Xiu was to facilitate the reconciliation between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao.
Liu Biao understood benevolence, justice and politeness very well.
As soon as Zhang Ji died, his men were very happy and congratulated Comrade Liu Biao.
But Liu Biao said, don't be so happy, everyone.
Comrade Zhang Ji came here because he had no food to eat, and our comrades were not very polite to him, so that they went to fight.
This is not my intention at all, so you can come here to pay your respects. , can’t come to congratulate you?
So Liu Biao sent someone to greet Zhang Xiu and expressed his willingness to accept Zhang Ji's troops.
This was also Liu Biao's consistent method of governing Jingzhou, advocating peace rather than war.
At that time, the old fox Jia Xu personally came to Liu Biao to promote peace talks, and the two sides reached a memorandum of understanding.
The two armies formed an alliance and stationed Zhang Xiu's troops in Wancheng.
In this incident, some people said that Liu Biao was a guest with empty pretenses and rhetoric, and he was basically a representative of the dove faction who would not make a difference even if he was beaten to death.
But some people say that Liu Biao was a powerful minister in troubled times when he connected the powerful clans of Jingzhou and killed the clan traitors.

His move of taking in Zhang Xiu made Zhang Xiu a defense in the north of Jingzhou, and he was able to lose a piece of land and maintain peace.
A sure bet.
But no matter what, Ma Chao hopes that if he is really forced to go to Liu Biao to beg for food, Liu Biao will treat him as generous and selfless as he treated Zhang Xiu in history.
No matter what, the Ma family today is comparable to The old Zhang family was doing much better back then, right?
What's more, as long as the incident next year comes as scheduled, Ma Chao can perfectly solve the problem of the victims in one fell swoop without being condemned by the world at all.
"We must find a way out for the victims," Ma Chao said with a gloomy face.
After repeating these words coldly, he continued to say something very international: "The Ma family's Su Tiejian must be the Ma family's Quyuan."

The situation is not good.
