"Yes, Shanting and Teng Kingdom areas suffered from war and all the farm tools were stolen. The people were miserable and the people were living in poverty. In order to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible, the government lent shovels and pickaxes to farmers for use, and collected 30 kilograms of grain a year. As for the trolley, it was priced at 700 cents and repayment for three years." Lu Bu introduced.

The price of steel farm tools is a conscientious price these days, and it can be said that it is extremely low to use 30 kilograms of grain a year.

Zhuge Jin bowed: "General Gao Yi, how many agricultural tools and carts have been distributed in total? Can we popularize hand-carts in Xuzhou?"

"More than 10,000 sets of agricultural tools have been distributed. As for the trolley, it is not intended to be popularized. The trolley only has one wheel, which is more suitable for running in narrow roads in mountainous areas. Xuzhou now invented a kind of light carriage called a shelf cart. The shelf cart has two wheels, and it has a large cargo capacity and can be used in human and animal power, especially in plain areas. Therefore, our Xuzhou development strategy is to promote wheelbarrows in the mountains and develop shelf carts in the plains." Lu Bu said happily.

Zhuge Jin wondered, a wheelbarrow was already a great invention, and there was actually a better car than a wheelbarrow?

"General, can you see this car?"

"Yes, that's not a secret. Ziyu follows me."

Lu Bu took Zhuge Jin to the baggage camp, where dozens of trucks were parked to transport relief grains.

Zhuge Jin came over and looked carefully. As Lu Bu said, these carts were reduced versions of carts. However, the body was light and the wheels were light.

Zhuge Jin knocked on the wheel with his hand and asked with confusion: "General, this wheel hub should be steel, but I don't know what the black car outside is?"

"This is called rubber, it is a kind of gum. The wheels are filled with air, so the car is elastic and runs easily."

Zhuge Jin said: "Then these wheels cannot be used only to produce racks. Making some exquisite luxury carriages will be very expensive. You can also make a profit for military use."

There must be real materials under the reputation, and Zhuge Jin is indeed well-known.

"Tiyu has a good idea. When I return to Xuzhou, I will arrange for the workshop to be produced."

Zhuge Jin nodded constantly. This cart is too convenient. Although it is smaller than a cart, it is not less cart than a cart. A small donkey can pull this cart, which has a great effect on production and life.

"Ziyu came so early, I wonder if he had breakfast?" Lu Bu was worried that Zhuge Jin would go hungry.

Zhuge Jin said: "I rush on the road before dawn, and I've been walking fast all the way, but I haven't eaten."

Lu Bu greeted his personal soldiers and said, "Arranging the Huotou Army and sending two breakfasts to the camp. I want to talk about the world's major events with Mr. Ziyu."

Zhuge Jin was determined to defect to Lu Bu, and the investigation was very careful. It was impossible to just look at your inventions. What is important is to look at the perspective of major events.

Zhuge Jin shook his sleeves and said, "Yuan Shu in Huainan has excellent soldiers and sufficient food. Cao Cao in Yanzhou is eyeing him. These two are both enemies in Xuzhou, and I don't know if the general can have a solution."

When Lu Bu saw it, the topic was coming.

People are all interviewing employees by bosses, but they are better off themselves. The employees interview the boss.

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Yuan Shu in Huainan has ambitions, but has no strategy. He received the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and only became emperor for two years. He was powerless in Xuzhou, and he was more likely to win over. Cao thieves are a big trouble for Xuzhou. Recently, Zhang Xiu was defeated, and Cao thieves became even more powerful. Next autumn, if Cao Cao had enough food and supplies, he would come to attack Xuzhou. However, Xuzhou is no longer the same as before, and it is no longer the Xuzhou with only ten thousand soldiers. He can take the initiative to attack and attack Yanzhou. The Cao thieves who fought like the previous year could not even eat food."

Zhuge Jin was quite surprised at Lu Bu's answer: "Take the initiative and attack Yanzhou?"

"Yes, take the initiative. Now Xuzhou has 40,000 elite soldiers, and it is about to recruit another 20,000 people in Dongguan, Langya. When the autumn grass is yellow, the new recruits will be trained. At that time, I only need to lead more than 10,000 light cavalry to turn Yanzhou upside down."

Zhuge Jin's eyelids twitched when he heard this. If someone else said this, it would be absolutely bragging.

However, Lu Bu brought his own bonus. When the enemy general heard that Lu Bu was coming, there were almost no one who dared to challenge him except for a few sluts.

The eighteen princes left too deep an impression that, except for Guan and Zhang, there were almost no other generals who could join forces.

Zhuge Jin was still very satisfied and took the initiative to attack and waited for death.

"What kind of life is the ideal society of the general?" Zhuge Jin asked the last question.

"The rich have the principles of the rich, and the poor have the dignity of the poor. The rich can have rich wine and meat, but the poor will not have frozen bones on their way. This is the ideal society, and it will be realized soon. With the promotion of potatoes, Wenhou rice, and sweet potatoes, the large-scale starvation of people will become the past and will never happen again. These three crops are not delicate and may not taste very good, but they can be eaten. They can raise pigs and sheep, and then every household has fat pigs and fat sheep, how can they starve to death? If you don't have food, don't be afraid. Kill a pig, and you will have meat soup." Lu Bu said very confidently, which is based on the high-yield nature of sweet potatoes.

"This." Zhuge Jin felt that Lu Bu was bragging.

"I only knew the yield of sweet potatoes in autumn, but in Xuzhou a month ago, Chen Gong led Xuzhou's elders to personally verify that the potatoes yield per mu is about 8,000 kilograms. With less than 30,000 acres of potatoes, hundreds of thousands of people will be recruited to repair the river to finish so many potatoes. Sweet potatoes are more abundant than potatoes, and sweet potato seedlings are still good, and pigs and sheep are eaten. I will give me two years to eat meat for every household in Xuzhou during the Chinese New Year."

Zhuge Jin knew about the yield of potatoes, because Chen Deng even lost his head because of potatoes.

Lu Bu could not lie about sweet potato production because it was unnecessary.

Zhuge Jin was still very satisfied. Lu Bu was very different from the rumored one. He attached importance to industry and commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, and people's livelihood. He was much better than Tao Qian and Liu Bei.

Just as he was about to bow down, his personal soldiers came to deliver breakfast on a tray.

One serving for each of Lu Bu and Zhuge Jin.

A large sea of ​​bone noodle soup and vegetables are cooked together, and the most important thing is that there are lard flowers floating on it. There are two dishes next to it, one is an old pickle and one is a leek flower.

Zhuge Jin was very angry. Just cook the noodles with white noodles with vegetables, and you still have to add lard. What are the conditions? Is there a mine at home?

I stopped eating immediately and said with a fist, "General, life should be simple first, and the people can only survive. How can the general and the pastor guard the side take the lead in luxury? It's okay to cook white flour, but you even add lard?"

Lu Bu praised Zhuge Jin for his character.

"Brother Ziyu misunderstood, let's follow me."
