Chapter 359 Investigating the Mountains

Pengcheng Yicang is located in a relatively high terrain in the city and is also built.

Xu Shitou took the sign of the governor's yamen and asked the guards to open the yard and enter the reservoir area. What caught his eye was more than a dozen raccoon cats in the yard.

This kind of cat is a serious local breed and is best at catching mice. The granary must be equipped with a large number of cats.

Pengcheng has a small population, a small population, only a hundred thousand people, so the scale of the charity warehouse is relatively small. There are only three granaries, the first one is wheat and corn, the second one is soybean, and the third one is soybean.

Lu Bu checked one by one and found that the food was still very good and there was no problem.

I left the charity warehouse and went straight to the official warehouse. The official warehouse and the charity warehouse are different. The accounts here are relatively complicated. The accountant checked the accounts. The grain was also full. The only thing that hurts is that there is a small amount of waste. After all, the turnover and loss are inevitable.

As for the military warehouse without inspection, it was Lu Bu himself who was responsible, and there was no problem with the military warehouse in Pengcheng.

When Lu Bu left the official warehouse, he saw Sun Gan coming in a carriage.

"Lord, you're doing a sudden attack."

"Mr. Sun Jun, this time he went to Jiangxia. He was moved to see the victims who had no food and died on the roadside. So he came to check the food and grass."

Sun Gan bowed: "Don't worry, lord, the Yizhuang Warehouse in Pengcheng and the official warehouse are full. It's enough to eat for three years. As for the forage farms, there are even more piles of horses in the official horse farm. The horses in the official horse farm do not need to be shepherded every day, and they are much gentler."

"Well, I saw it. It was because the people were well-managed by the county magistrate Sun, so that the people achieved this. How about the people's grain storage?"

"Xiaguan visited the people. Generally, the farmers in plains mainly have wheat, corn and potatoes. The people in the mountainous areas mainly use dried sweet potatoes, peanuts and pumpkins. Almost 50% of farmers raise large animals, and almost 80% of farmers raise pigs and sheep. Generally speaking, the people in plains are one level better than the people in mountainous areas. They can eat meat during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and they can eat chicken, duck and eggs. Xiaguan never thought that the people could live so well."

Sun Gan was very happy to speak, with a smile on his face.

"Is it difficult to eat meat and eggs?"

"The lord doesn't know that when Emperor Xian first arrived in Luoyang, he couldn't cry for the chef if he wanted to eat egg noodles. The lord created the conditions for the people was so good. These types of food are completely magical crops to save our great man. The lord's achievements will surely shine for thousands of years."

"Mr. Sun Jun is too awarded. I just did what I should do. Let's go to the yamen."

Although Sun Gan is not young, he is still very motivated to work and the copywriting of various departments has been sorted out quite clearly.

In the first, second and third year, more than three new horses, cattle, donkeys, and mules were added in the three months. There is no statistics on live pigs, but the street butchers slaughtered more than 10,000 pigs, and chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry are not included in the statistics. However, the salted duck eggs and goose eggs in Pengcheng have formed an industry, with an annual output of at least 300,000.

"Mr. Sun has worked hard in the past two years. The people of Pengcheng have been out of the sea of ​​suffering and can eat and drink enough. Gongtai and I are considering changing the place for you. I don't know what Mr. Sun's opinion is."

"Oh, I don't know where my lord plans to transfer me?"

"Donglai County. The most serious part of the Yellow Turban Army was at that time. Zhuge Jin had been in charge for a year, and now the people can barely make a living. But a good county magistrate who understands civil affairs needs to promote the new crop patiently."

Donglai County has more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, with an estimated population of only about 100,000, because the war was too exhausted. Sun Gan managed Pengcheng as a fruit picker. When he took over Song Xian, he was already a wealthy place. When he arrived in Donglai County, he was probably poor and could not eat or take off the pot. If the management was done well, he would definitely leave a strong mark in the local chronicles.

Sun Gan's family has money and food, and he doesn't like to make money. He just wants to have a good reputation. Judging from the development of Lu Bu in recent years, he is a wise ruler of the world. His achievements are far above Cao Cao, and he can truly solve the problem of people's food and clothing. He is a once-in-a-thousand-year hero.

"I will definitely go there if my lord is sent. But I asked to bring some technicians there. Only in this way can I promote new crops as soon as possible."

"Okay, then you can prepare. In a few days, you will lead dozens of civil servants and technicians, two thousand soldiers, to Donglai County to take office."

"good."

The purpose of transferring Sun Gan to Donglai County was Chen Gong. After taking over Qingzhou, he could not keep up with the management. The area was large and the foundation was weak.

Zhuge Jin has not been idle since last year and has promoted corn, potatoes and other crops around Jinan County, with obvious results.

This year's task is to promote pumpkin, sweet potato, corn, etc. in other counties in Qingzhou.

The promotion of new crops requires a process and professional planting technology. If the seeds are simply distributed and the people can do whatever they want after getting the seeds, the outcome will be quite terrifying. The yield of the old crops is not as high as the original ones. This leads to the people not trusting the government, and it will be difficult to promote anything in the future.

Therefore, the method adopted is to plant a test field in each county and promote it by planting it for farmers to see.

In order to strengthen control over the northern part of Qingzhou, Lu Bu planned to send Sun Gan, who had strong internal affairs, to Donglai County.

Although there is a small population here, after the baptism of the Yellow Turban Army, there are no more wealthy households. Most of the people are self-cultivated farmers. Once the new crops are promoted, they can achieve immediate results.

However, when Sun Gan takes office, he still has to wait for the official documents of the governor's office. The transfer of officials at the county magistrate level is still very complicated. Many things need to be handed over clearly and no remaining problems can be left.

In the southeast of Pengcheng County, Dashitou Village, several cavalrymen from Xuzhou cavalry appeared in this village.

The Zhang San family turned out to be a well-known poor household in the village. There were three sons of fifteen or sixteen years old and a wife.

All these three sons alone have made him poor.

It turns out that they are so poor that they don’t wear pants, and all the kids are exposed.

However, in recent years, the development has improved rapidly, and the government has issued fabrics and quilts.

Zhang San was also obedient. The government asked him to plant potatoes, so he planted acre of potatoes. As a result, the family did not go hungry for several months. Although it was not a delicacy, he could eat enough every meal.

The government last year said that sweet potatoes were grown on the barren land on the mountain. Many people dared not try it. Zhang San dared to plant them and directly planted five acres of sweet potatoes.

He was also very brave. He sold five piglets on credit in autumn. Because the government said that five acres of sweet potatoes would definitely not be eaten up, and he had to feed them.

As a result, the harvest was really great, and it almost made people feel worried. Tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes were overwhelmed.

At this time, I bought a slice wiper from the blacksmith shop, cut the sweet potatoes into slices and dried them.
