Chapter 71: Three Thousand Danyang Soldiers
"Chickens, ducks and geese can also be raised appropriately to improve the living conditions of the ore. This is very necessary. The scale of this iron ore is destined to be very large. At least it is necessary to produce iron tools that are sufficient for Xuzhou, and daily iron pots, kitchen knives, agricultural tools, etc. from here." Lu Bu arranged.
Pu Tie said: "That's great. I wanted to do this from the beginning, but I was afraid that my lord would say he would not do his job properly."
"In terms of system, we can refer to the ones in the military camp. A hundred or ten miners set up a kitchen and a few men. They divide them into several acres of vegetable fields and a livestock house. In addition to providing meat, the livestock can also provide fertilizer for the vegetable fields. The miners will do their jobs during their daily rest periods. If the vegetable fields are well managed, the miners will be able to eat more vegetables. If the livestock is well raised, they can eat more meat. In short, we need to find more ways to improve the living conditions of the miners." Lu Bu arranged.
Pu Tie nodded frequently and wrote down one by one. He was the village chief's level, so it was still a bit difficult to do this.
Pu Cheng next to him said, "Lord, I have a suggestion that all the miners wear such hats."
Pu Cheng said as he took a rattan hat, which was pretty good and looked good.
Lu Bu took it and saw that this was the Eastern Han version of the safety helmet, woven by jingts, and the thinner jingts were woven after blisters, with internal force and lining.
"This is good. It's easy to wear and protect against sunlight and smash. What's the one in your village?" Lu Bu asked.
Pu Cheng shook his head and said, "The village next door has woven. There are many craftsmen in their village, and they can weave dung baskets, hats, and dustpans. This one costs only four cents, which is still very cost-effective. It can prevent the miner from smashing his head and touching his head. The lord will see if he wants to assemble it."
"Pairing, matching. Although the protection is limited, it is better than not. Don't be afraid of spending money. Our Xuzhou philosophy emphasizes people-oriented, and mine managers are also humans." Lu Bu said.
Pu Cheng wrote it down and went back to let the people from the neighboring village make a thousand rattan hats. There are not many other things in the mountains, but there are many jings.
It was already very late when Lu Bu went back, and he returned to the military camp through the hazy moonlight.
The soldiers were all resting, and Zhang Liao was in the middle of the night and had not yet rested.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao talked alone.
Lu Bu took out the map and pointed at Pengcheng and said, "Look at Pengcheng, there are mountains, waters and plains. He controls the waterway of Weishan Lake to the north. The location of the ground is very important. Do you think it is more appropriate to send who to station it."
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "The two major threats in the short term are Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. These two men are attacking far away. We can all know in advance that although the geographical location of Pengcheng is important, it is not suitable for large army stations. If the troops are united, they will be strong, and if the troops are divided, they will be weak. I feel that according to the original idea of the lord, our main force is stationed in Xuzhou, and other counties are stationed in a small number of soldiers. Once something happens, we can transfer troops from Xuzhou, and the distance is very close. For example, Pengcheng is only 60 miles away from Xuzhou, and it will be within an hour."
Lu Bu nodded: "That's the reason. Although Liu Bei is ambitious, he still can't form a wing in the short term. So Pengcheng is still very safe, but Pengcheng must be secure. We need Pengcheng's fish, shrimp, goose and duck resources. Now the birds and eggs in the army are all relying on Pengcheng. Who do you think the right one?"
Zhang Liao said: "The lord is the master of these things. If I were asked to say it, I felt that Song Xian or Hou Chengdu was suitable. Liao Hua's ability is not bad. After all, if Liao Hua is new, if Liao Hua is the prime minister of Pengcheng, the other old people will definitely not accept it."
"What Wen Yuan said is that it makes sense. When I go back, I will let Song Xian and Hou Cheng compete, which will convince those who lost." Lu Bu said.
The next day, the army returned to the city. This meeting with Liu Bei was a goal, and he taught Liu Bei a lesson. As for the lost potato seeds, they could not be found, and Wenhou Shuiche and wooden ox cart were also destined to spread.
But Lu Bu was not worried. It would take at least ten years to truly promote dozens of potato seeds on a large scale. At that time, Lu Bu had long been unifying the world.
He walked very slowly along the way, about 60 miles, and it was afternoon when the sun set. When it arrived in the south of the city, Lu Bu ordered the army to enter the city, and he only took Lu Tong and a few personal soldiers to the Yejiling logging farm.
Lu Bu came here to fill the wood. Although he recharged tens of millions of dollars last time, he couldn't hold back the flowers. He exchanged food like flowing water, a wheelbarrow, a kettle of seven or eight, etc.
At noon today, Lu Bu sent an order to let all the workers who cut down trees go back on holiday.
There was no one on the entire mountain. The dense forest turned into sparse forests, with about 20,000 wood piled up on the pile. This was the result of the occasional logging team led by Liu Guangtou and the soldiers who came to cut them down. Now it seems that this pheasantling forest farm is almost finished. It will be over for about a few miles away, and we will open a new forest farm in the future.
This time, like last time, I mainly filled up trees with relatively better value such as pine, elm, willow, etc., and exchanged a total of 55 million yuan, which was still quite high.
As for a small number of tree species such as ash, birch, mulberry, etc., they are left to transport them back to dry in the shade for later use.
Mulberry wood is used for bows, arrows, crossbows, arrows, white wax is used for gun rods, and birch is used for arrow rods.
Lu Bu came down the Deling Mountains and led his personal soldiers to the gate of the city gate. He actually met Cao Xing and led more than 3,000 people to come.
There were about three hundred riders at the beginning, and everyone was riding a horse, which was quite clean and tidy.
However, the more than 2,000 people behind were dressed in rags and felt a little sad. Life was not easy, and life was even more difficult in troubled times.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person.
These people were wearing rags, but they were all very energetic. Lu Bu could see that they were all full of fighting spirit.
"Why did you go so long before you come back? It's been a month?" Lu Bu asked.
Cao Xing said: "What happened? First, I bought a horse. It took half a month to buy a horse from Yuan Shu's territory. It was deducted. I finally paid for my relationship and asked for it to come back. Then I recruited the troops and walked back. There was no baggage tent along the way, so you don't know how we survived it."
Lu Bu sighed: "I'll let you go to recruit soldiers, it's a hasty. OK, take it back to the barracks and train in a unified manner."
"Brother-in-law, after the training is done, I will take these soldiers for me." Cao Xing asked.
Lu Bu said with a straight face: "You boy have hard wings? Do you dare to bargain with me?"
"I dare not, my brother-in-law said I would take many soldiers." Cao Xing said.
Lu Bu stretched out his three fingers and said, "Three hundred cavalry, under my command, you are not allowed to lead troops independently for the time being."
"Okay. I get it."
