More than ten miles south of Hefei City, there is a large plain, where tens of thousands of acres of rice fields were built by the Hefei Army.

After harvesting, there was only shallow mud and water beside the rice fields. Thousands of soldiers were holding baskets and fences to catch loaches. Today, they caught loaches not for extra meals, but Lu Bu arranged to build thirty fish-planting ponds. The loaches were kept for next year's seedlings to cultivate.

Raising loaches in rice fields is just a small attempt, and the real technology is still the rice fields that have been cultivated for fish.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xun also came to join in the fun, and Lu Bu also caught a few eels.

Lu Bu was very happy: "This loach is a good thing, and it can grow with water. Why do so many people who starve to death in the famine period? They usually don't pay attention to breeding. They pay equal attention to fish farming and rice cultivation. One acre of rice fields can harvest 200 to 300 kilograms of fish, so that they can eat rice and fish."

Zhang Xun was a little unbelievable. When he was managing Hefei, he rarely even came to rice fields, let alone caring about these things.

"This, this, is this possible? Can people still eat fish at home?"

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "This is true. Guangling was originally poor and bad waters, and people's livelihood was difficult. Guangling County, which had a difficult life, has two years of governance. Now every household has rice and salted fish. Farmers can harvest hundreds of kilograms of field fish while harvesting rice in autumn, and every household has fried fish for vegetables and fried fish. The living conditions are several times better than in the previous two years."

"Is fish farming in rice fields very complicated?" Zhang Xun asked.

"It's enough to strengthen the ridges of the field."

The technicians transferred from Guangling led more than 10,000 soldiers to improve rice fields, deep-turn, repair field ridges, and dig water canals.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt that he had lost something wrong, so he took a shovel and knocked it with his hands.

"This is a very iron."

"Yes, but we call it steel. The rice fields are relatively soft and cannot show their advantages. Only the sand and stones on the mountain can show their abilities." Lu Bu explained.

Bulls and pulling soil are all unicycle, which is easy and labor-saving. Thousands of cars come and go, and their work efficiency is very high. This car is a shield car used in combat, no wonder it moves so lightly.

Flying flags were planted everywhere on the construction site, and everyone was working and singing. Officers could not just supervise, they had to lead the team in person, and the garrison commander was the main force.

Even Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Xun have to make a few moves to make a move.

In this kind of labor atmosphere, few people are lazy.

Hundreds of carpenters built wheelbarrows. The craftsmen were treated well and the money was paid in place. The simple straw hut was a workshop, and they were all very energetic.

This is not the most eye-catching thing. What is most eye-catching is the attitude of Xuzhou army towards the people.

Thousands of households who could not eat or wear clothes received free relief food and cloth for relief.

People who give birth to children at home will be given a subsidy of 100 kilograms of cornmeal and 40 kilograms of noodles. If the children have no milk, they will be given milk powder for feeding them.

This measure benefited too many people and countless living people. After all, ordinary people cannot afford to hire nurses at home, and having no milk means the death of the child. Now feeding milk powder means that the survival rate is greatly improved.

With just these measures, the people were excited and the people were willing to do so. Lu Bu's reputation quickly increased among the people and was warmly welcomed.

Zhang Xun couldn't help but sigh that when he was in charge of Hefei, he was thinking about how to collect food from the people. Lu Bu came and thought about how to give Yu people. Although this was just fertilizing leeks, his methods were dozens of times better than Zhang Xun.

Moreover, the Xuzhou Army has a lot of armor, and it is said that the output can reach thousands of pieces per month. Although it is not full armor, it can protect most of the body and reduce the death rate by 70%.

Zhang Xun was completely convinced and his civil and military skills were much better than you, and he could not do anything.

It's just after Mid-Autumn Festival. In early September, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and the land cannot be empty.

"Wenyuan, arrange immediately to spread rapeseed in the rice fields. You can eat tender vegetables in a few days, and you can still harvest some rapeseed after the New Year."

"Okay lord, arrange it immediately."

There are only more than a hundred oxen plowing oxen in the military farm, and although there are many war horses, it is a pity that they cannot cultivate the land.

Lu Bu didn't require fineness anymore. He first dries 10,000 acres of rapeseed. He used the simplest planting method. He sowed the seeds and stepped on it with his feet. The climate was warm and moist, and it sprouted in about five or six days, and it became a very large rapeseed in one month. It can be eaten with seedlings, fried or cooked, which are good foods.

After the New Year, rapeseed blooms and 10,000 acres of golden green. It is the season for beekeepers to harvest. Rapeseed honey is easy to crystallize, but it can crystallize into the form of lard in one month.

However, this extensive planting yield, 300 kilograms of rapeseed per mu can produce more than kilograms of rapeseed. Ten thousand acres would be great, that would be one million kilograms of rapeseed oil. Straw can be raised to raise sheep and fed to cattle, and eventually turned into fertilizer and returned to the land, which can be considered as the best use of the goods.

There are 30,000 mu of paddy fields in the Juntun of Hefei and 30,000 mu of dry land.

Now only nine thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry are retained, and more than 10,000 acres of land are supported, and the task can be completed smoothly with a little effort.

Among the military farms, hundreds of acres of artificial fish ponds and dozens of natural lakes are all natural treasures. If you make good use of them, you will have no problem eating fish every day.

The governor of Liu County recruited 50,000 civilians from Guangling to overhaul the official road, and from Guangling to Hefei.

There is only about 200 miles in total, but it is very slow to work manually, and it involves many wooden bridges. There is no problem with the use of disrepaired wooden bridges, but it is not possible to fight. They transport carriages and supplies, especially when cavalry cross the bridge, they run over. The bridge cannot stand the charge of horses, so they need to be transformed.

At the same time, Ji Ling launched 50,000 strong men in Danyang County and started the overhaul of the official road, which directly led to the official road of Hefei County.

However, Hefei did not recruit strong men to build a large-scale construction. The main reason was that it had just occupied this place and the war had just passed, and the people's hearts were floating. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Zhang Liao proposed to suspend the recruitment of civilians and wait for a period of stability before recruiting civilians.

Lu Bu agreed. Just wait until the official roads in the three places are clear and the bridges are repaired, a stable triangle will be formed. No matter where the troops come, there will be rescue. Among them, Danyang County has the largest number of troops, including Ji Ling and Zang Ba.

After returning from Hefei, Lu Bu returned to Guangling County.

The Guangling County generation had a special rule that it was strictly prohibited to eat raw fish and shrimp, snails, and drinking water in rivers, ditches, well water and spring water must also be boiled and drunk.

The reason is nothing else. There is a strange disease here. Hua Tuo calls it a blood worm. Once infected with this parasite, it is extremely difficult to treat, and Hua Tuo is helpless. Baota candy is very effective in dealing with roundworms, but it is not effective in dealing with blood worms. At the current level, it can be said that there is no cure, so it can only be prevented, eat cooked food and drink boiled water.
