Guo Jia did this very well. With this spy, Xu Du knew about it in advance once Lu Bu sent troops.

It is inevitable to send secret spies to each other, but Xuzhou's development time was too short, especially when he occupied Xuzhou, he only had seven or eight thousand soldiers, and there was only one city in Xuzhou. It was still relatively poor in intelligence, far from comparable to the intelligence network formed by the cunning Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others.

It is imperative to establish an intelligence agency, but you only need the right candidates and don’t worry.

The weather is getting colder, and the clothes distributed to farmers in need in late autumn played a crucial role. With this batch of clothes, quilts can minimize the number of people who have frozen to death. This year is the first time after the war in Xuzhou, where they have no worries about food and drink.

Everyone has one or two hundred Wenhou melons at home, hundreds of kilograms of potatoes and one or two thousand kilograms of corn on the cob.

If you eat and drink enough, your resistance will be strong, and the elderly and children will hide at home to cat winters.

However, men and women in the middle age have to work. All villages are building roads. Plain areas require that carriages must be opened between villages. Because the popularity of carriages, the transportation of crops and transportation of materials must be used. Carriages on shoulders have become a thing of the past.

Mountainous areas require wheelbarrows to be accessible in every village. There must be a narrow road, at least it can pass through a wheelbarrow.

Chen Gong had also inspected this standard before. Recently, Chen Gong was very busy and rarely went home, and visited about 100 villages.

Pingyuan Village is not a big problem. The original roads were good, so it was enough to repair and reinforce them. However, mountain villages are not good. Only a few large villages can be equipped with carriages. Ordinary small villages can only be passed by, winding and twisting. Now each village has a certain number of wheelbarrows. It is still very reasonable to require wheelbarrows to be able to be used.

In Xia Pi City, Chen Gong brought several officials in charge of government affairs to check Wei Xu's government affairs.

Xia Pi belongs to a plain area, with fertile land and abundant water resources. Xiang Yu, who once fought for hegemony in the Chu and Han dynasties, was near Xia Pi.

The official roads in Xia Pi were well built along the way. The original dirt roads of the loess also had major changes. Coarse sand and soil were mixed from the river to form a hard sandy road. The sandy roads have a characteristic, that is, they are not muddy when they rain and have good pressure resistance. The official roads have long-term road maintenance workers, and they will be repaired in time once problems are found.

"It seems like the ground is repairing the canal there, let's go and take a look."

Chen Gong and Wang Ming left the group of people and rode over.

As an official in Xuzhou, there is actually no sense of superiority. No matter how big a civil and military officer is, no one is allowed to sit in a sedan chair. If you can ride a horse, you will ride a horse. If you can’t ride a horse, you will ride a carriage. The sedan chair carried by people does not exist.

When the two went over, they saw that the local people were digging the canal in the field. This was a rice field. The rapeseed planted in winter was digging deeper, tic-shaped, and the excavated eels, loaches, and children watching the fun were snatching each other.

Chen Gong couldn't understand: "Why do we need to dig a canal in this rice field?"

Although Li Zheng didn't know what official Chen Gong was, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He hurriedly introduced: "This was learned by the county magistrate Wei from Guangling. We sent people to Guangling to teach them to grow rapeseed after harvesting rice. People who came here taught us to raise fish in the rice fields. After the rapeseed is harvested, they will be flooded. The water in the ditch is not as high as the knee and connected with the water in the field. After planting seedlings, the fish will be released. This deep ditch is used for the fish in summer."

This is how the country of fish and rice comes from. The rice yield is much higher than that of wheat, and there are loaches, crabs, fish and shrimps in the rice fields. Especially this improved rice field raising fish, rice can increase yield, and one mu of field fish can still be harvested about 400 kilograms.

At this time, fish farming in rice fields is not a type of fish, but mainly carp, grass carp, crucian carp, white stripes, and wild loaches. Normally, as long as there is no flood, a bumper harvest is guaranteed, especially the yield of grass carp is very high, because farmers will mow grass and feed fish, grass carp eats a lot of grass, and fish manure to fertilize the field, forming a virtuous cycle.

In summer, Lu Bu set up a special fish yamen from the governor's office, which is the yamen to promote fish farming. Because the Xuzhou water system was still very rich at this time, it was not as good as the water towns everywhere in Dongwu, but rice could be planted near rivers and streams, especially Guangling County in Xuzhou and Xiapi County. There are a large number of fish ponds and rice fields. Fish farming technology has been passed down for hundreds of years, especially for raising grass carp, which can be used to exchange grass for meat. How to calculate how to calculate it?

"Are there any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, you can react to me." Chen Gong asked everyone.

After all, Li Zheng was enlightened and didn’t know where Chen Gong was, so he didn’t dare to say it.

The people don’t care about so much, and they shook their small shovel in their hands: “We hope that the shovel that uses fifteen kilograms of grain a year can be distributed more, and the food will definitely be indispensable to the government. The shovel made by the blacksmith shop is not easy to use and is still small. With a good shovel, the speed of working can be faster.”

Chen Gong thought he was careless and shouldn't have asked this.

I don’t know where Lu Bu got the shovel he distributed, it’s made of good steel.

"Well, I will tell you about this to the governor to see if I can get more."

At that time, we ordered ten thousand sets of shovels and pickaxes in each county. In fact, the difference was too much, with at least 20,000 sets of shovels. For example, Xia Pi had a population of 30,000 households, and on average, only one household had one of three households.

Along the way, the people of Xia Pi have changed a lot this year. There are many water wheels lined up by the river, all of which are small water wheels more than two meters high. After all, the plains do not use too much.

There are also simpler water-lifting tools like orange steak standing by the river.

Wang Zhubo suggested: "Many children aged thirteen or fourteen have nothing to do, but the tool of julien is too dangerous and children cannot use it. A lighter water truck should be developed, which can be used by children. When it is necessary to water the ground in a drought, the children will operate it."

Chen Gong shook his head: "Don't look at me, I don't understand these things. They were all arranged and developed by the governor. When you go back, you go to find the governor."

"Okay, then I'll go back to find Wen Hou."

The king and the people really have nothing to say to the people and dare to speak for the people.

The group entered from the west gate of Xia Pi. Because it was a surprise inspection, the gate army did not recognize these people.

Chen Gong brought his men into the city.

The small city in Xia Pi is completely incomparable to Xuzhou City in terms of scale.

But the street is very popular, with vendors, hawkers and shops on both sides of the street.

The most prominent thing is the cleanliness of the streets. There is a garbage basket every few dozen meters, and any of the vendors' rotten vegetables and leaves are thrown into it. There are also toilets built. If anyone dares to be convenient on the roadside, the patrol constable will whip up when he sees it.
