Chapter 290 A clean and tidy city
Last year, the mules that Lu Bu's red rabbit breeded grew very quickly, were very big and powerful.
Lu Bu is still very concerned about the breeding of mules, and this animal was born for agriculture.
Unexpectedly, the horses in Gaoshun Juntun Farm were managed quite well.
There were several horses eating grass leisurely on the horse farm, and the little mules were black in color, and they were playing around one by one.
The horses and mules produced by tall, large black donkeys and short grassland Hun horses can be about 1.5 meters high, and some can even break through one meter, which is more than one foot of the original matriarchal body.
"Ten thousand acres of land need to be cultivated and worked, and mules are also arranged to be produced. Zhongda is determined. Now Tengguo, Xuzhou, and Xiapi horse farms are cultivating a large number of horses, and mules will become popular in a few years."
Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "My lord is sleeping day and night for the sake of Xuzhou and the people. Compared to the insignificant things I have made are all the functions of new crops. Otherwise, even 150,000 mu of them would not be enough for 10,000 people to consume. The current crops can reach the yield of three mu in the past. How many people can eat a mu of potatoes? The yield is too high."
Mules are bred very well, but unfortunately most mules cannot breed and must be based on a large number of mares.
Horses are known for their speed, mules are known for their strength, and they still prefer horses in agricultural production.
A mule and horse can produce four or five thousand kilograms of manure a year, which can fertilize a mu of land, increase grain yield, and activate soil. Combined with the fertilizer processed by pig manure, dead leaves and rotten vegetable leaves, it is completely enough for the fertilizer needed for farming.
Lu Bu asked: "Is there any difficulty when arable land? After all, there are not many livestock, and there are those who cannot work with children. I am afraid that the animal strength will be insufficient when farming."
"As long as you don't catch up with the war, hundreds of mules from the baggage team will work together to complete the land. Although there are more than 40,000 acres of land, they will not be able to plow together, so it is still barely enough."
Feng Xiong asked: "What if it is not enough?"
"What should I do? I'll take the lead in pulling the plows when I go to the ground, and the soldiers will follow me. I'll just be a training soldier, and I have no objection to anyone." Gao Shun still fought so hard.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "The situation is much better now than three years ago. Now this difficulty doesn't count. You can eat and drink enough. The soldiers' habit of hard work cannot be forgotten. You have to work hard. Zhongda continues to train troops, and I will go see Zhuge Jin."
Zhuge Jin took office on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and as soon as he came, he replaced Gao Shun and began to carry out government affairs.
Zhuge Jin is as famous as his name, and he is cautious in government affairs, likes to rest and recuperate, and does not bother the people.
After taking over Gao Shun, he handled government affairs safely, and did not do any image projects. He demolished and built them. He followed Xuzhou's original routine. After the spring, he built farmland water conservancy, allocated 50,000 kilograms of pickled vegetables and salted radishes, and sold 50,000 farm tools from Liming Da Iron Mine and 10,000 light rack trucks.
Jinan County is located on a plain, with few mountainous areas around it, and the agricultural environment is still very good.
Yuan Shao was born in four generations and three kings. He was born in a wealthy family and was reasonable to treat the people, so there was still a foundation for Jinan County.
Lu Bu entered Jinan City with only a few followers. The city was still very lively. According to Lu Bu's strategy, Gao Shun's army was stationed outside the city, and the army did not enter the city without any trouble. Even the three thousand defenders in the city were strictly restricted. They did not wear armor, did not bring crossbows when they went out of the camp, and only held self-defense items such as waist knives.
The whole city seems relatively casual, and there are no high-rise buildings on both sides. The highest wooden buildings are five or six floors, most of which are two-story.
There are also many small vendors coming and going, and they keep shouting. They are dressed pretty well and have a good face.
"Tsk tsk, the streets are spotless, and the cleaners clean very diligently. They also built public toilets, which is too advanced. Could it be that Zhuge Jin knew I was here in advance and cleaned it in advance?" Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Shitou was Lu Bu's personal guard. It was inconvenient to express his opinion on such matters, so he didn't say anything.
There is a teahouse on the side of the road, selling big bowls of tea, so you can drink it casually until you vomit.
The boss is burning fire with a palm fan.
Lu Bu asked Xu Shitou to throw three big money into the cash box, and then another follower brought a bowl to pour tea.
The boss nodded: "Thank you for taking care of the business."
Lu Bu took a sip of tea and it was pretty good. It was all big leaf tea, which was the most thirst-quenching.
"Boss, you are so polite. Why is the street so clean? It's really nice to have toilets on the side of the road."
The boss smiled and said, "The guests are from other places. These were made by General Gao when he came last year. General Gao mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to clean the dead corners and repair the toilets, and arranged for special personnel to clean and receive the hygiene. Moreover, the first and fifteenth day of each month is the cleaning day. On this day, merchants on both sides of the streets acted together to thoroughly clean up. When they first repaired the toilets, everyone was not used to it. It turned out that they would solve the problem by finding a place on the roadside, and it was dirty and smelly everywhere. General Gao sent dozens of patrol teams and found that anyone who was more convenient to the roadside, over 14 years old would be caught and do a day's work. Those who did not change their skills would be beaten. This was why they completely corrected this bad habit, so that everyone could know their shame and the streets were clean and they would not slip through it."
"Oh, so that's it. Didn't you hear that Lord Zhuge is here?"
"Mr. Zhuge is busy outside the city every day, and it has just stopped during this period. We have suffered from severe floods. We have mobilized more than 100,000 people to build rivers and farmland water conservancy. Not to mention, Master Zhuge Jin is very powerful. He arranged the Wenhou water truck made by craftsmen without manpower or animal power. The water source is constantly raised to irrigate the land. It is really unpredictable."
A tea chef next to him smiled and said, "Wenhou water cart was studied by Wenhou, and Lord Zhuge is just promoting it. Last year, I didn't catch lots of carts, but this year I caught them. In addition to doing farm work, I can usually bring some vegetables from the village to sell them in the city. It's too convenient. I will pay back the car money in a few months."
"Oh, do you have any potatoes or something?" Lu Bu asked.
The teacook put down the big tea bowl and was overjoyed: "I planted it last year, and now my blessings have changed. I wish your potatoes are big and round. That good thing to fill the famine, half acre of land is enough for a few bites of people to eat. The only thing is that it cannot be put long and it cannot be eaten when it sprouts. This year, Wenhou rice and Wenhou melon have been planted, and I will no longer have to worry about eating it."
When Lu Bu came to the county magistrate's yamen, Zhuge Jin received the notice and hurriedly greeted him from inside.
