Chapter 104: The Craftsman's Workshop

After taking charge of military power, even if some people want to secretly oppose him, they must weigh it, otherwise Lu Bu's order is enough for some families to be destroyed.

Through the army, gradually controlling Xuzhou is an important part of Lu Bu's plan.

The current Xuzhou, Peng Chengguo, and Lang Evil are under the control of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu has no doubts about Zang Ba's loyalty, especially after this battle against the Qingzhou Army, Donghai County, Guangling County, and Xiapi State, Lu Bu's plan is to send generals in the army to take charge of military power, so that even if the officials in the three places have other thoughts, they must also take into account the influence of the army.

If you want to really take charge of Xuzhou, there are still many problems that need to be dealt with, and the affairs of officialdom, Lu Bu will hand them over to Jia Xu and others to deal with, although some things Lu Bu can understand, and being entangled with civil officials will make Lu Bu feel troublesome.

Fighting with civilian officials and soldiers is even more of a headache than training officers and soldiers in the army.

After being reborn as Lu Bu, what he pursued was the improvement of his personal martial arts and strength.

In the troubled times, human life is like a mustard, since he has come to this troubled world, Lu Bu must do his best to protect everything at present, so that his relatives do not need to worry about the war, anyone who threatens him, Lu Bu will not hesitate to take action.

The princes of the world think that he is a reckless man and a martial artist, and he will carry out his arrogance to the end, making those who provoke him pay more price.

At this time, Yuan Shao should be glad that Jizhou and Xuzhou do not border, otherwise Yuan Shao's performance in the battle in Xuzhou is likely to bring about a large-scale attack by the Xuzhou army.

The war in Xuzhou subsided, and Yuan Shao confronted Gongsun Zhan, which once again attracted the attention of the princes.

Through this change in the situation in the world, the princes can see that in the battle, the dominant one is the later general Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu has lost Sun Jian, he still controls the land of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and has obtained such a strong ally as Lu Bu.

The Qingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army were on Yuan Shao's side in this operation, no matter what the purpose, and the defeat of the two would be a blow to Yuan Shao.

Besides, Gongsun Zhan, who turned his face with Yuan Shao, is strong, if Gongsun Chan leads the army to victory, Yuan Shao's so-called status as the leader of the princes' alliance will have a greater reduction in influence, and the officials on the side who hold the military power are all shrewd, and what they want to attach to is the more powerful princes.

In fact, after listening to Jia Xu's analysis of the situation in the world, Lu Bu was also emotional, the change in the situation in the world was because of the people of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were both children of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family, whose protégés were all over the world, occupied too much advantage at the beginning of the troubled times.

If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were united, would the princes dare not obey orders? When the army attacks Chang'an, it may be able to defeat Dong Zhuo and stabilize the dynasty, which is the best way to make the Han Dynasty prosperous.

However, when people have power in their hands, they will show ambition, and who does not want the power in their hands to go further.

Shaking his head, Lu Bu put these things aside for the time being and headed to the craftsman's workshop outside the city.

The craftsman workshop outside the city is not only responsible for the production of fairy jade, but also a blacksmith shop that specializes in providing blades and armor for soldiers in the army.

Blade armor is the most important thing for officers and soldiers to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, and sharp blades and strong armor are also the most desirable for officers and soldiers in the army.

The development of the craftsman's workshop and the provision of more excellent blades and armor by the craftsman's workshop is precisely the purpose of Lu Bu.

Although the blade armor in the current Xuzhou army is good, it is far from meeting Lu Bu's requirements.

It is important to raise the level of equipment of the soldiers.

The attack on Xuzhou by the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army also made Lu Bu understand that if you want to gain a foothold in the troubled times, the most important thing is that your fists are hard enough, so that those who dare to attack dare not have the slightest contempt, and even have the strength to make them afraid, only in this way can the war be avoided as much as possible.

Once the war began, the consumption of money and food was extremely large, and since Lu Bu took charge of Xuzhou, half of the income of the state pastoral government was invested in the army, and it was a huge amount of money just to replace the armor and blades.

If the level of Xuzhou's craftsman workshop can be further improved, with Xuzhou's current financial resources, the elite army can have more sophisticated blades and armor.

The workshop is located in the mountains just outside the city.

The hundred cavalry who came with Lu Bu directly launched a defense on the periphery of the craftsman's workshop.

"General." Along the way, all the soldiers who saw Lu Bu saluted, and their expressions revealed not only respect, but also admiration, Lu Bu is not only Xuzhou Mu, but also a strong martial arts general, worthy of the soldiers in the army to follow.

Especially after arriving in Xuzhou, the treatment of the officers and men in the army has been significantly improved.

"Meet Wen Hou." An old man with white hair and beard stepped forward and saluted.

Lu Bu nodded slightly: "You are Lu Tong, the current person in charge of the craftsman's workshop?" ”

"It's the grass people." Lu Tong arched his hand excitedly.

Shinong businessmen, craftsmen are also people at the bottom, although they can earn money with their own crafts, after all, they are not into the stream, and it is not easy for craftsmen to see an official, let alone a dignified Wenhou.

After the establishment of the craftsman workshop outside the city, Lu Bu secretly ordered people to find experienced blacksmiths to use for forging blade armor, but these blacksmiths were just tools used by ordinary people for farming, and they couldn't touch high-end things such as blade armor.

And Lu Tong is the most experienced old blacksmith found from the craftsmen, when Lu Tong was young, he used to build blades in the craftsman workshop in the Luoyang Army, and he has rich experience in forging blades.

The reason why the craftsman workshop outside Pengcheng has today's scale has a lot to do with Lutong's efforts.

The Craftsman's Workshop has begun to take shape, capable of accommodating hundreds of craftsmen at the same time to craft blades and armor.

After walking around the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu said: "The craftsman's workshop will continue to expand in the future, and more experienced craftsmen will be needed at that time, and you will have to worry a lot when the time comes." ”

Lu Bu's title flattered Lu Tong, and hurriedly said: "It is the honor of the grass people to be able to serve Wen Hou, the grass people are old and can no longer forge the blade by themselves, so they can only give the craftsman guidance." ”

"Can the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop be able to skillfully forge blades?" Lu Bu asked.
