Chapter 258 Cousin Guan Hai
Linen is used to weave fabrics, make quilts, and make cotton jackets. There are so many uses.
The supervisor prepared more than 100,000 feet of poverty alleviation cloth. Last year, Lu Bu brags that he will solve the problem of clothing this year. In fact, although the area of cotton planting is large, it is uneven. Many people have not planted it. Each county allocates 1,000 feet of cloth, and it is difficult for people to distribute it to ten thousand feet of cloth.
The clothes I sent last year were very effective, and a quilt could be used for a few years, so this year, there is no need to distribute the quilt, only the materials for clothes for people in need.
Originally, Lu Bu planned to distribute more, and each county would distribute 20,000 yuan of fabric. However, Chen Gong disagreed and said that it would be fine if the people in difficulty helped them, but ordinary people should not distribute them. Distributing too much will easily lead to laziness and lack of energy.
Therefore, the relief should be distributed less, and the emergency should not be rescued. Lu Bu felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, so he followed Chen Gong's idea. The relief can only be distributed in small quantities, not in large quantities.
"A thousand pieces of cloth in each county can be used. As long as it is distributed in place, it can ensure that the people in need have clothes to wear during the winter. We are doing our best for the people." Lu Bu sighed many times. It is not easy to do so many things for the people, and he can also love the people in this chaotic world.
The factory manager pointed to the huge workshop: "In our big factory, thousands of weaving cloths are enough for each person in Xuzhou to wear several sets of clothes. People also have their own silk and linen woven at home."
"It's great, very good. But it's not enough for the people of Xuzhou to dress. We have to look at the Han Dynasty. People in other prefectures and counties also need to wear warmth. The cotton planting area will be expanded next year, and it will be sold to the entire Han Dynasty at that time."
"Sir, don't worry, I will do my best to get things done."
The amount of cotton sowing is expected to be at least 200,000 mu next year. Because the food ration is solved, more land can be used to plant cotton.
Improved spinning machines, weaving cloths, and large quantities of durable and inexpensive cloths. The economic war against other princes was very simple, that is, dumping at low prices, destroying their weaving industry, and no one could refuse bargains. This was Lu Bu's conspiracy.
The female workers' eyes were so warm that Lu Bu walked around the cotton mill and left quickly.
The next morning, Lu Bu led his fifty personal soldiers to set off quietly and rushed to Dongguan County.
The journey was slow enough, and it took three days to arrive in Yishui County, Dongguan County.
The water is very large this summer, with a lot of water in the Yi River, and many fishing boats fishing on the river surface.
There is a mountain village in front of it, with a large amount of corn and sweet potatoes planted beside the village.
On the road, villagers occasionally pushed a wheelbarrow by. When they were walking, they suddenly heard the screams of wild boars.
"You are waiting here, and the stone follows me."
Lu Bu was very skilled and brave. He took only one man to ride a horse and saw a strong man in the wilderness beside the cornfield, holding a steel shovel and fighting a huge wild boar. The wild boar weighed at least seven or eight hundred pounds and had fangs of more than one foot long.
The beasts are covered with wounds on their shoulders and backs, and they are very fierce.
Lu Bu bent his bow and arrow, but he did not fire.
Because the Han became more and more braver in the battle, he shoveled the wild boar head with a shovel, and the big wild boar was born.
At this time, seven or eight men arrived with hunting forks.
The big man holding the shovel smiled and said, "Hahaha, this ferocious beast ran so fast that it chased him for more than ten miles. Fortunately, the shovel was sharp, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take him. Today, there was a great harvest and I had a meal."
Lu Bu shouted immediately: "A man is good at skill and courage."
When the man saw two horse riders, he didn't know who they were, but he was dressed, with bows and arrows in his hands and swords at his waist. These were not ordinary people.
"Thank you for your compliment, General."
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and asked, "What do you call a man? Can this wild boar be sold?"
"The villain's surname is Guan Ye, and he is the captain of the hunting team nearby. This wild boar has destroyed countless crops. We are ordered to capture it. We will first hand the order to the county magistrate Zhuge first. After the order is handed over, if Lord Zhuge allows the villain to deal with it, I will sell it to the general."
"Oh, Lord Zhuge is nearby too?"
“Yes, not far from here.”
"Okay, then you can take me there."
Guan Ye led his men to make a rack to carry the big wild boar. The group led the way in front and led Lu Bu and others to find Zhuge Jin.
Before I walked far, I saw Zhuge Jin's camp, which was built with a tent outside a small village.
The yamen runners are preparing to release bows and arrows.
When Zhuge Jin saw that Lu Bu was coming, he hurried over to greet him.
"Master, why are you here?"
"There are many disasters and difficulties. The wild boars in Dongguan County are the most severe. I can't rest assured. Come and take a look. This man is really brave and even killed the big wild boar with one force."
Zhuge Jin said: "This is the hunting captain Guan Ye, but he hasn't come to see General Lu."
Guan Ye was also shocked when he heard this. It turned out to be Lu Bu.
"See General."
"There is no need to be too polite to warriors. I'll take your shovel and take a look."
Guan Ye handed the shovel to Lu Bu. Lu Bu looked at it and it was the shovel issued by Lu Bu, but it was used more and very sharp.
"It's light, your mental strength is amazing, so it's not OK to use this. I'll arrange for the craftsmen to create a special one for you."
"Thank you, General."
Zhuge Jin had already assigned bows and arrows to Guanye. The eight people divided four bows, and they had two hunting dogs. They continued patrolling the mountain and had to come back in the middle of the night.
"This Guan Ye is also a celebrity, Guan Hai's cousin. He is very skilled. During this period of experience, I plan to let him go to the county town to lead troops."
"Guan Hai's cousin? That's really a celebrity. Guan Hai was a powerful general in the early days of the Yellow Turbans. Unfortunately, he met Guan Yu."
Zhuge Jin arranged for his subordinates to find a small wild boar, cut a meat stew pot, and put a lot of pepper and large ginger.
Wild boars are different from domestic pigs. They have not been castrated and the meat tastes bad. So the smaller ones are delicious and tender.
Like this old man just now, it has been seven or eight years since he was too old. The meat is not delicious and the taste is still good.
It was getting late, so Lu Bu and his men set up camp here.
Kung Fu for Stewed Meat Lu Bu asked: "What do Ziyu thinks about Qingzhou? Now Jinan County has taken over and cut off Yuan Shao's control over the vast eastern region. The entire Qingzhou area will belong to us sooner or later."
"The situation in Qingzhou is relatively simple. Once the new grain crops are promoted, the people will be able to eat and wear well immediately. However, it will be difficult to develop. The strong men in Qingzhou were taken away by Cao Cao. The population is too small now and they will not get up in a few decades."
"I'm considering transferring you to Qingzhou next year and appointing you to Qingzhou to be responsible for Qingzhou's government affairs. What do you think?"
