Lu Bu was very satisfied. As long as the thinking of the working people is opened, they will have great wisdom. Cow milk, horse milk, and goat milk can be used. They will not have the ability to process milk powder in the short term, but they can be used for consumption by simple cooking and boiling of milk.

Not only has the population increased, but even the official horse farm in Xuzhou has also heard good news. In the past few months of spring, the newly born foals and mules have more than 20,000.

The production of folk horses, scalpers and donkeys has also reached more than 30,000. Especially in the Donghai, Langya, Dongguan, Taishan County, the number of scalpers and donkeys has been greatly restored.

The little donkey is small, only half the size of aconite donkey, but it can also pull a cart, and the two ends can still cultivate the land.

Local scalpers are similar to grassland cattle, and they are not big, but they have strong resistance to disease, are resistant to rough feed, have strong endurance, and can cultivate land and pull carts.

This is a quantity I dare not imagine before.

Chen Gong was extremely happy: "At this speed, the animal power can be achieved in three years. A group of people who specialize in making money by arable land will be derived. Veterinary medicine is developing rapidly now, and there is a veterinarian in almost every village. I have to say that Zhu Zhubo has put in a lot of effort and needs rewards."

"I rewarded 300 acres of land, and there is one house in Xuzhou City. That's all. He is not happy to be appointed as a county magistrate. Let him do the breeding with peace of mind."

In addition, cotton planting, which is planted on a large scale this year for hundreds of thousands of acres, and the scattered ones in the people's homes are not included.

There are many textiles in Xuzhou now, with cotton the most bulk. Silk is the most expensive, with low output and high price. Most people cannot afford to wear silk.

There are also many textiles such as hemp and kudzu.

Traditional agriculture is where men farm and women weave, and almost every household can weave cloth with defense.

However, any fabric is not as rich as Wenhou cotton, easy to manage, can weave cloth, and can be used as filler. Especially, it can make cotton coats and quilts, which have made great contributions to the safe winter of the people. In order to remember Lu Bu's great achievements, it was officially named Wenhou cotton. Of course, there are too many other names, such as Kapok, white flowers, velvet flowers, and cotton bouquets.

People will think of Lu Bu’s merits when wearing clothes and covering quilts.

Several types of oil crops have also been developed, including sesame, rapeseed, soybeans, and peanuts. Originally, ordinary people did not have the habit of stir-frying vegetables and adding oil at home, but after Lu Bu's advocacy, everyone found that stir-frying vegetables with oil was too delicious. Moreover, oil crops are also very easy to grow. Each family can eat oil for a year in just one or two acres.

Lu Bu turned around and looked at Du Zi Teng, who was in charge of the forest and fruit trees next to him.

"Du Zhubo, how have you made progress in the past few years? Are you planting the fruit trees beside the official road?"

Usually, Lu Bu never asks about small matters in government affairs, so this question is asked.

Du Zi Teng gave a deep gift and came to report: "I went back to the lord, we planted it. At present, the official roads in Xuzhou, there are three million pear trees and persimmon trees on both sides of the village road. More than 10 million willow trees are planted in rivers and tidal flats. More than 20 million economic trees such as Paulownia, mulberry trees, hawthorns, cherries, etc. There is no statistics on the people who cultivate their own seedlings. In one or two years, we in Xuzhou will be full of flowers and colorful flowers."

"Thank you for your hard work, why are all fruit trees greening on both sides of the road? I see that the fruit trees have not been dwarfed and pruned, and they are tall, and they may not be easy to pick in the future."

"Back to the lord, these fruit trees were developed and planted by the Linmusi and Minhusi. The road is mainly shaded on both sides. When the fruits are ripe, pedestrians can pick and eat them at will. Undeveloped wilderness is called Wenhoulin. These fruit trees are not very useful in normal years, and most of the fruits they bear are fed to birds and beasts. But no one can guarantee that there will be no natural disasters in the future. Once natural disasters occur, the forests of persimmons, pears and other fruit trees will become life-saving straws."

Lu Bu couldn't help but exclaim: "Du Zhubo did a good job. These fruit trees that are usually unwelcome to the public will become life-saving straws in the year of disaster."

Moreover, Du Zi Teng is quite good at planting fruit forests in barren mountains and wildernesses are named Wenhoulin.

Now Xuzhou eats Wenhou rice, Wenhou melon, Wenhou vegetables. We wear Wenhou cotton, Wenhou cart, Wenhou water cart, Wenhou well, and now there is another Wenhoulin.

Lu Bu's fame is as strong as the people's hearts, and his status in the hearts of the people is as stable as Mount Tai. The propaganda team's publicity and subtle education are more important. The more important thing is the real benefits. In the past, they were not full or worn, but now they have grown the food promoted by Lu Bu, and they can eat and wear warmly. This is a huge change.

Of course, although reputation is important, it is like duckweed. What really works is the army in hand.

Strengthening training and ideological education for the army is the basis for Lu Bu to dominate the world.

Just as Xuzhou was busy promoting various new crops in spring, Yuan Shu began to lead his army to attack Nanyang.

After losing Danyang County and Hefei County, Yuan Shu lost more than 60,000 troops, and he fought fiercely with Cao Cao.

Now Yuan Shu has a small territory, a small population, a shortage of food, and a low morale in the army.

In the imperial study, Yuan Shu was wearing the emperor's five-clawed golden dragon's yellow robe and sat behind the table.

General Lei Tong proposed: "Your Majesty, now we are short of food and grass. The only way to take over Nanyang is to ripen. The wheat around Nanyang is about to ripen. We can rush to harvest wheat so that we can accumulate food and grass to overcome difficulties."

Yang Hong, who was bearded next to him, hurriedly advised: "Although there is a lot of wheat in Nanyang, they are all from the people's homes. If we snatch the wheat in Nanyang, we may lose the people's hearts. Liu Bei has few soldiers and it is difficult to defend it. Isn't it nice to take Nanyang in one go?"

Yuan Shu deeply agreed: "It makes sense, Lei Tong, I have issued an order to appoint you as the general, Yang Hong as the military advisor, leading 30,000 troops to capture Nanyang. If the nine palaces do not come, then rob the food and grass outside the city."

"Get orders."

Lei Tong is not very good at martial arts, but he is very capable of leading troops and is prohibited from following orders.

He forced his troops to rush to Nanyang for more than 80 miles a day, and at the beginning he marched on his own territory.

After waiting for the border, Liu Bei of Nanyang, he discovered that Yuan Shu had sent troops.

In order to exaggerate the words, there were a total of 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 strong men, which was said to be 200,000 soldiers.

We fled along the way, and we didn't care about the harvest of wheat. Life was important.

Overall, Lei Tong was still very kind and righteous, with strict military orders and no harassement of the people. The army headed straight to Nanyang County, which scared Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Now Liu Bei has many soldiers, almost 6,000 people, but they are all new recruits. He has insufficient weapons and no armor, so how can he not be in a hurry?
