Chapter 164 Development priorities of Guangling County
"How are the rapeseed seeds in the military farm?"
"The Tunding planted is very careful. I plan to let the people come and take a look when harvesting rapeseed next year. Rapeseed is a good material for oil pressing, and rapeseed oil is very expensive. People will be serious when harvesting."
Jun Magistrate Liu summoned local officials and villagers came to the fields.
When everyone saw that it was the famous Wen Hou Lu Bu and the Governor.
Lu Bu pulled out a rapeseed from the rice fields and held it high in the air.
"Everyone takes a closer look, it's this rapeseed, which is a crop that allows everyone to eat rapeseed oil."
Vegetable oil is not something that ordinary people can afford in this year, and only ordinary gentry and wealthy families can afford it.
It would be amazing if ordinary people could buy lard several times a year.
"In Donghai County, the same rapeseed planted after rice cutting, the rapeseed with a yield of up to 600 kilograms per mu can produce more than 200 kilograms of rapeseed. In other words, as long as you plant it carefully, two acres of rapeseed will be eaten by the whole year of the whole family."
It is not scary to be poor. As long as you can see hope, you will be full of energy.
Lu Bu's identity was there, there was no need to lie to them, and everyone regretted it.
"It's broken. I didn't plant it well this fall, so I just sow it."
"It doesn't matter, don't worry too much. I have already looked at it. It is still okay to have an estimated output of 400 kilograms. I will plant it well next fall and plant rapeseed carefully like growing rice. Not only can you squeeze oil and eat it, but you can also sell rapeseed."
Some people are worried that there will be no place to process rapeseed after harvesting next spring. Junjun Liu came forward to promise that each county would set up several official oil presses to press oil for the people. Of course, this requires processing fees, and the people can also set up oil presses on their own.
The land of fish and rice has many benefits and is not prone to famine. The yield per mu of rice is higher than that of grain in dry land. However, similarly, there are various poisonous insects such as schistosomiasis in the water, and locals are used to drinking raw water.
Now the county magistrate Liu has to do a lot of things. He encourages the people to boil before drinking. If there is no condition to boil water, that is, drink clean spring water or well water. It is strictly forbidden to take water from stagnant water areas, and it is strictly forbidden to eat raw fish and shrimps. All fish, shrimps and crabs must be cooked and eaten.
The problem in Guangling is still very serious. Chen Deng was a county magistrate in Guangling and ate raw fish and shrimps, and there were many insects in his stomach, which Hua Tuo could not cure.
The people are ignorant, and the education work is a long way to go.
Many people drink raw water mainly because it is convenient. When they come back from work, they just use a scoop of water to scoop water to drink.
Changes in living habits will take several years or even decades to change, and you can't come in a hurry.
When Lu Bu returned to the army, several more spies came to report, saying that Sun Ce had completely returned to Jiangdong and was sending a funeral to Taishi Ci.
The battle was very fast, with almost no drag on it, so the material consumption was still very low.
Of course, there were almost no seizures. Except for the three thousand Jiangdong soldiers, the rest were weapons, all of which were worthless things.
The only things in the top grade are Taishici's iron spear, a pair of double halberds, and Cheng Pu's big sword.
Taishici's iron spear was rewarded to Zhang Liao's general Xiang Bin, and the double halberd was rewarded to Xu Shitou. As for Cheng Pu's big sword was given to Zang Ba's general Sun Guan, who was usually not visible or leaking, but in fact he was a powerful general.
A great victory, beautifully done.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and rewarded the three armies and distributed a large amount of bonuses. As for the soldiers who died, it was still very expensive. Anyone with family members would be compensated ten cents, and some condolences would be distributed every year. If the children were not raised, they would be sent to Xuzhou for raising them.
Zhang Liao and Zang Ba were very surprised.
Zhang Liao proposed: "The pensions of the soldiers who died in battle were not popular among the princes of all families. They were just the main generals, and their personal soldiers gave some pensions. Where can ordinary soldiers have pensions? The lord is a precedent."
"If we use this method to destroy all the princes, they will not give them pensions and those who serve in the army will not work hard. They will not have that much money to give pensions."
Lu Bu is now confident that the copper ore that is associated with Limin Da Iron Mine can be cast thousands of stagnant every month. As the output increases, the output of copper coins will become larger and larger.
Of course, in order to curb inflation, the main thing is to develop agricultural production. Casting copper coins can be regarded as one of the ways at most.
Lu Bu planned to go back to Xuzhou.
"Wen Yuan, I originally planned to transfer you back, but now it seems that you will still have to be here in the short term. Sun Ce suffered such a big loss, I'm afraid he will be anxious."
Zhang Liao was full of confidence: "I regard the generals in Jiangdong as a local chicken and a tile dog."
"Okay, it's just that you need to have this ambition. It's just that you would rather fight wits, not fight strength, respond carefully, keep more guards and spies, unite the people and local forces, and don't show off when there is any situation, and quickly report to the headquarters for support. At the same time, you can properly train fishermen in Sheyang Lake to make small profits. If you have something to do, you can requisition their ships, which can be considered a navy force."
Zhang Liao issued a military order to strictly guard Guangling County.
The Liu County Governor recruited more than 10,000 Tunming to reclaim deserted fields and dry land near Guangling to supply military supplies.
This year, productivity is low, and there are no pesticides and fertilizers in farming, and the crop yield is still very low. If you do not farm, relying solely on taxes and fees to raise soldiers will still put a lot of pressure on the local area.
The group came to the thousands of acres of fields planted by Zhang Liao's army. Most of the food and vegetables had been harvested, leaving only tens of thousands of cabbage, hundreds of acres of green onions, coriander, spinach, etc.
Zang Ba couldn't help but praise: "It's not bad. Even if our soldiers are discharged from the army, they can still have some food. At least they have learned the skills of growing vegetables."
"I never thought that in the past, I had to eat so many vegetables besides eating food. Now it seems that the lord's strategy is very correct. Eating vegetables and grain can greatly reduce the amount of food consumed and make the soldiers grow stronger. This large vegetable garden is not only enough for soldiers to eat, but also occasionally helps nearby villagers."
There are pigs in Zhang Liao's army, but they have just arrived in summer and are basically pigs and cannot be eaten in the short term. However, there are many fish and shrimps here, so Zhang Liao's army's nutrition is still fine.
Guangling County is relatively vast and has a very difficult defense.
According to the proposal of Liu Junjun Governor, Lu Bu planned six towns and shops in the south as the focus of prevention and used blue bricks and cement to reinforce the city walls.
When Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou, he happened to catch the caravan of the Mi family buying back six hundred Hun horses from Youzhou in the north. The Mi family adopted the method of dragging four horses, which means that a rider pulled four horses with a rope to get rid of the trouble of driving horses, and the speed was much faster than before.
During this period, other caravans sold back from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and there were hundreds of horses and hundreds of donkeys. The strength of the Xuzhou army was greatly enhanced.
