The arrival of Xiao He made Yangzhou's internal affairs orderly.

After a day and two nights of busyness, the feasibility of spring ploughing was finally formulated, and the county orders and county guards of 96 counties in seven counties of Yangzhou were issued to help the people and complete the spring ploughing as soon as possible.

There is no land, and the government gives it away free of charge.

There is no grain planting, no cattle, and they are rented from the government.

As long as you are registered in Yangzhou, you will be provided with all convenience.

And after the grain is planted, only 30% of the tax is paid.

Such a policy is completely biased towards the people. One can imagine how excited and jubilant the people would be when they saw these notices, and even if they were fools, they would work hard to farm.

Two days later, Fan Lihua said goodbye to Lu Bu and went to Xuzhou.

Before leaving, Lu Bu instructed her a lot of things, including some policies to resist Yuan Shao, selling fairy wine, the world's first paper skills, etc., although Fan Lihua is not in charge of business, but also plays a supervisory role.

Pan Jinlian invited a lot of craftsmen and began to merge Lichun Courtyard and Zuixiang Building.

Mu Guiying trains the newly surrendered Danyang soldiers.

At this time, Lu Bu was not idle. A lot of drawings were drawn, and the carpenters made all kinds of furniture according to the drawings according to the appearance of the drawings, such as the Eight Immortals table, round table, counter, etc., as long as it was not available in this era, all of them were made.

To be honest, Lu Bu hated the furniture of the Han Dynasty very much. He is not kneecap high, and when he talks to someone, he has to kneel down to speak, drink tea, and even sleep on a very low couch. It feels like sleeping on the floor.

He made these furniture to change the status quo of the Han Dynasty.

It's been two days of work...

Lü Bu found that the number of carpenters was too small and progress was slow.

At this rate, in two months, it will not be possible to make the furniture needed by the Assassin's Mansion.

He found Xiao He and wrote a notice for the soldiers to post at the gate of the city, and recruit a large number of carpenters at a high price.

At this time, the Assassin's Mansion was lively, and there were no less than 1,000 craftsmen who came to apply. The gate of the entire Assassin's Mansion is blocked by water.

"It's the first time I've seen so many carpenters together. It's more than the Nancheng factory in Xiapicheng. Is the lord planning to build a factory in Shouchun City? Zhang Feng's injury healed, and he followed behind Lu Bu's buttocks, amazed.

There are also Xiao He and Li Yuanba next to him.

"Shouchun, as the capital, should have a vigorous and thriving style. It is necessary to change, develop, and become strong. I want to make a batch of new furniture first, try it out in the Thorn Mansion first, and if it is used well, I will make it on a large scale and bring it to the market. Strive to let the people of Shouchun City use new furniture within a year. This is also to distinguish the princes from all walks of life, reform and develop the two states of Xu and Yang, and take the most important step. ”

"Those tables, chairs and benches, I saw them in the morning, they are strangely shaped, and it is difficult for people to accept." Xiao He doesn't understand, what does the manufacture of tables, chairs and benches have to do with reform and development?

"Father-in-law, don't you think the desk and coffee table are too short? You have to kneel down to write a few words, eat, drink tea, and talk, you also have to kneel, don't your knees hurt? Lu Bu smiled and said: "Anyway, I have always sat on the couch and talked to you, you love to kneel, who knows who hurts." ”

The corners of Xiao He's mouth twitched slightly. I have to admit that the new style of tables, chairs and benches, although the style is strange, is very comfortable to sit on. The large counter is also suitable for storing ancient books and account books.

For large-scale manufacturing of furniture, Xiao He is also very much in favor. It's just that some people are worried about money.

"Someone. They were registered, and all of them were hired. When the timber arrives, it's ready to start. Lu Bu beckoned behind him, and two civilian officials stepped forward.

The soldiers brought new tables and benches, and two officers sat on the benches to register the carpenters.

Lu Bu took Zhang Feng and Li Yuanba back to the front hall.

"The number of dragon guards is less than two thousand, right?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Feng.

"Yes. After several battles, there were still 1,600 left, of which more than 30 were seriously wounded and had not yet recovered. ”

Lu Budao: "In the Battle of Liyang, the performance of the Long Guard Army was good, not weaker than Xiang Yu's broken barracks, which proves that this army is also a bloody army, and it must replenish the source of troops as soon as possible and improve the system." ”

"Does the lord mean that he is selected from among the surrendered troops?"

"Well, at present, in Shouchun City, only Shanyue has the largest number of troops. I believe that one day, Shanyue will be exterminated by us, and at that time, there will be no Shanyue, Shanyue, or factions, all of which are Yangzhou Army. Although they are bandits, they have no background and no complicated relationships, which is better than those private soldiers of the family. As long as it is registered in Yangzhou and has no record of defection, it can be included in the Longwei army. ”

Zhang Feng was overjoyed and said, "The last general knows, and he must replenish the number of the Dragon Guard as soon as possible." ”

"Well, Shouchun is different from Xiapi, there are two cities, inside and outside, and the Thorn Mansion is also very large, and a certain number of Dragon Guards are needed to stand guard and patrol. The number of people was expanded from 3,000 to 5,000. ”

"No." Zhang Feng was even more pleased.

Li Yuanba also smiled, but his smile was a little weird, probably thinking in his heart, how to finish abusing the Dragon Guard.

At noon, registration was completed, and a total of 1,300 carpenters signed up.

Such a large-scale carpenter team, even in history, is rare, and it also gave Lu Bu the hope of reforming Shouchun.

...................................

At the beginning of April of the third year of Jian'an, the war in the three counties ended, and good news came.

Yan Baihu, the handsome commander of Shanyue, and Pan Lin, the commander of Qu Shuai, were both beheaded by Zhang Liao, captured 20,000 of his subordinates, successfully occupied Huiji, Yuzhang, and Wu County, and helped the people of the three counties to complete spring ploughing.

The good news said that it was the officers and men of the whole army who worked together to ensure that they did not miss the season of sowing.

When plowing, the soldiers did not complain, but their morale was high and they were full of energy.

After Lu Bu received the good news, he felt incredible.

Soldiers are those who have fought on the battlefield and made meritorious achievements, and they have their own pride, who wants to lay down their weapons and go to plow the fields and sow seeds? But Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses really did it, not only did not arouse the disgust of the soldiers, but also boosted morale.

In mid-April, Zhang Gaoluo led his army and returned to Shouchun City.

Lu Bu set up a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to catch them up. Mu Guiying, Li Yuanba, Zhang Feng, and Xiao He accompanied.

"Although there are many mountains, but can not stop all the tiger generals, today set up a banquet for you, for you to catch the wind, I hope you will make persistent efforts and make new contributions!" Lu Bu smiled and raised the wine bottle.

The crowd drank it all.

Zhang Liao said: "The last general was originally scheduled to end the war in mid-February, but he never thought that Yan Baihu and Pan Lin continued to increase their troops, and when the number of troops was the largest, there were already 50,000 people, and they refused to defend the city, which was really difficult to overcome. ”

"The Shanyue army, although the equipment is very poor, but it is extremely brave, and our army has been fighting for days and days, and has not fallen behind, if it were not for General Gao Shun's trapped camp, I am afraid that they would not be able to control them. The last general suggested that this Shanyue army must be absorbed, as long as it is trained a little, it will definitely be a strong force. ”
