"Empty talk will ruin the country, and hard work will help the country. This road is the main road connecting the east and west in Dongguan. Only when it is unobstructed can it be connected. I have almost completed the construction of the general army in these three days. When the autumn farming is slack, you will recruit the civilians to repair the road." Lu Bu pointed to the not-so-wide road.

The whole road was covered with erectile skeleton stone, and the coarse-grained sand was not sticky when it rained. After the iron pickaxe was dug, soldiers behind them pulled the heavy stone mill and rolled back and forth to crush them.

"Okay lord, just practice it a little bit, but how to eradicate the beasts on the road is a problem." Zhuge Jin was still a little worried.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "It depends on your parents in Dongguan. People live and work in peace and contentment. With a large population, they have something to raise and have some burials when they die. The wild beasts will naturally return to the mountains. In the past few days, I sent archers to hunt two tigers, more than a dozen wolves, and many wild boars and thorns. There should be no big problem in the short term. There are too many trees along the road, and two-thirds of them will be cut down to let the sun shine in, so that the wild beasts will be scarce."

Lu Bu wiped his body, put on his clothes again, and sat down under the shade of the tree next to him with Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin took the package and opened it carefully. There was a crossbow inside, with a wooden box on it. The wooden box was not big, and it was about twenty centimeters long.

"This is a crossbow designed by your second brother?" Lu Bu took the skillful pulling of the handle, and the crossbow arrows of the chopsticks shot onto the tree.

Zhuge Jin didn't say anything for a while, how could this lord know everything?

"This is a good thing, exquisite and compact, but the range is not good. Tzuyu sees it."

Lu Bu took Zhuge Jin to the military camp and pushed out a wheelbarrow covered with linen from the material warehouse.

When I lifted the linen, it turned out to be an oversized crossbow.

"This one is a ten-shot series, and can also be equipped with a twenty-shot series casket. The arrow is one and a half feet long and the pulling force only needs one stone." Lu Bu said as he stepped on the arrow box and pointed it at a big tree not far away. The crossbow arrow was nailed to the tree, but it was not deep.

"Does it look amazing?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhuge Jin thought to himself that Erliang could not know, and he would not be beaten to death if he knew.

"It's amazing, the rate of fire is so fast."

"In fact, it can only be used to guard barracks or cities, and the range is too close. It has only an effective range of twenty feet. The same single crossbow can reach sixty feet. The biggest effect of a crossbow is to disturb the enemy's charge."

Zhuge Jin was stunned: "Discontinue the charge?"

"Yes, disrupt the charge."

Zhuge Jin is an outsider in war and has not continued to worry about this topic.

"Although we have this crossbow in the army, I still have to thank Ziyu, thank you for your second brother." Lu Bu said sincerely.

Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "My second brother is regarded as a treasure. I asked it several times before I could give it to me. Unexpectedly, my lord had already developed it."

The 10,000 sets of shovels and pickaxes for Zhuge Jin were ready, and there were more than a dozen cargoes of potato seeds, Wenhou rice and Wenhou melon seeds. The so-called potato seeds are germinated small potatoes.

"Xu Sheng, come here."

"The last one will be there."

Xu Sheng hurried over to salute.

"I will order you to lead 500 cavalrymen to assist Mr. Zhuge to take office, stabilize Dongguan and restore order as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xu Sheng received the token.

Zhuge Jin was very moved. He didn't expect that Lu Bu was so quick to do his job. You should know that steel farm tools are absolutely strange these days, representing a huge improvement in productivity. With an iron pickaxe, I want to turn the land into two acres of land.

Although there are no unicycles for the time being, imitations can be promoted in the public. Simple racks and simple wooden wheels are priced at only three to four hundred yuan, which can also promote production and life.

Lu Bu arranged: "There are more than a dozen cars of seeds here. Tzuyu can reclaim some wasteland to plant. It's a little late now. It's over the farming season. Just use it as an experiment and will be promoted on a large scale next year."

"Thank you for your support, lord." Zhuge Jin thanked him, led by Xu Sheng to escort Zhuge Jin to Dongguan County to take office.

Dongguan County has been in a state of no government in recent years. There are many turtles in the shallow water and there are big brothers everywhere. If there weren’t a few hundred cavalry, Zhuge Jin might be defeated if he went over.

Lu Bu has issued a transfer order to transfer 800 soldiers from the Teng State New Army Battalion. Dongguan is a mountainous area, with poor population and resources, and the possibility of war is extremely small. It should be enough for 800 soldiers to guard the place.

Lu Bu logged wood along the Yiling Road for five consecutive days, and all the dense forests on both sides were cleared into sparse forests.

Various woods were piled up according to classification, and fifty or sixty piles were piled up along the way.

There were about 40,000 to 50,000 wood trees in total, all good things. Lu Bu arranged a large group of people to return to Langya City first to recruit soldiers. He rode the Red Rabbit Horse and recharged all the wood along the road, resulting in a total of 65 million yuan.

It seems to be a lot, but it is not a lot. You should know that these woods have grown for decades or even hundreds of years. It’s only a matter of selling so much money.

When Lu Bu returned to Langya, Xiao Jian was on the right track during this period, mainly focusing on public security and promoting agricultural and animal husbandry production.

A group of experienced old farmers were hired to preach agricultural knowledge, and distributed shovels, pickaxes, Xinyi cars, etc. to improve productivity.

Especially agricultural knowledge, such invisible and intangible things are very important. Learn to cultivate carefully, learn to fertilize, sow, weed, cultivate soil, harvest, raise cattle and sheep, etc.

Moreover, he understood Lu Bu's temper, did his work well, and did things beautifully, and had some minor problems in the details.

Lu Bu recruited troops, and Xiao Jian mobilized the yamen to promote it with all his might.

Liu Sanfu led some soldiers to promote the propaganda everywhere.

Lu Bu sent a cavalry to parade everywhere, and the passionate young people were very jealous of them.

A tall horse, helmet, armor, sharp steel knife, and a hard crossbow with a strong external bow.

Who doesn’t have a martial arts dream? A sharp horse with a steel sword?

There is a tea shed outside Langya City, where coolies rest.

A man in his thirties got angry and said angrily: "I went out to work as a teenager, from the beginning to the beginning of being penniless, to the later nothing, to the now being heavily in debt. I quit, I want to join the army."

Someone asked: "What's the best thing about being a soldier?"

"Boy, you don't understand this. Become a soldier and eat food, eat food and serve as a soldier. Three meals a day, and don't have to care about the clothes in spring, autumn, winter, summer and all seasons. If you are lucky enough to make some military achievements, you need land and houses, and you need a house to be proud of your ancestors, that's a small problem." The man said.

Some are also more pessimistic: "What if they were killed in a war?"
