Lu Qiang, as a regular attendant and a close confidant of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, can be described as loyal, and in the end, he was not forced to die. Lu Huo's status in the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is extremely low, and it is not easy for him to live until the moment he meets Jin Jue.

After everyone sighed, Fu Gan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked: "Second Master Jin, why did you let people plant alfalfa all over the mountains, hunt wild beasts, and go to Linxian County to buy pigs?" I heard my younger siblings say, now that there is a shortage of food in Luoyang County, what do you use to feed these pigs when you buy these pigs back? ”

"Oh! I didn't expect Brother Yancai to observe so carefully. A little bit of the little brother's move makes you laugh. When Jin Jue heard this, he was not surprised, he politely said, did not answer directly, and asked: "Brother Yancai, the nomads in the north rarely eat grain, do you know that the strength of their soldiers is generally greater than that of my Han soldiers, why is this?" ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Gan's hometown of Beidi County was settled by semi-nomadic people, and in addition, he spent time in Hanyang County with his father Fu Xie when he was a child, so he naturally understood the customs of the nomads.

After pondering for about two or three minutes, Fu Gan gave the answer and said, "Eat meat!" That's right! ”

Jin Jue explained: "Yes, it is to eat meat. As a person, if you don't eat for seven days, you will definitely die, but if you don't eat meat for a year, you can continue to live. However, have you ever thought that if a person eats more meat, then, correspondingly, he eats less food?

According to the habits of the aliens, if I have a way to make the soldiers in the army eat meat every day, they will be superior in strength and physical strength to the other princes, even the soldiers of the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and Xianbei. In the event of an engagement, at least on these two points, our army will have the upper hand.

The solution is on alfalfa, which is a high-quality forage grass that can be used to raise horses and sheep. In this case, when raising pigs, they can also be fed alfalfa. What's more, pigs are not picky eaters, and the rotten old grain in the warehouse can also be fed to them. As Wen Ji told you, nowadays, there is indeed a shortage of food in Luoyang County.

In order to ensure the sufficiency and safety of food, I have ordered people to concentrate all the grain in the whole county, and from tomorrow onwards, the grain will be distributed in a limited amount every day, so that I can guarantee that not a single person in the county will starve to death before the summer harvest next year.

At the same time, I can use the pigs that I have fed, so that the soldiers can eat pork after training. Military training is very food-consuming, so I came up with this method, which will neither delay military training because of food shortages, nor will it consume a large amount of food because of this. Brother Hikosai, are you still satisfied with my answer? ”

"That's exactly what happened!" For a while, all the people present were stunned by Jin Jue's unbelievable thoughts.

However, someone immediately raised an objection and said: "Jin Ergongzi, although your idea is good, it's just that the taste of pork is really difficult to swallow, in the countryside, no matter how cheap the price of pork is, poor people will not spend money to buy it." What's more, a small piglet, from breeding to slaughtering, must be raised for at least about ten months. If you want the soldiers to eat pork, how can you get in time? ”

The person who raised the objection was none other than Yang Hui, a subordinate of Fu Gan and his servant.

"Hehehe, it seems that this subordinate of Brother Yancai is not a rotten Confucian who only knows what he knows, and he is actually practical, which is really rare!" When Jin Jue heard this, he glanced at Yang Hui very seriously, this person was not tall, his appearance was not amazing, he was dressed in a Confucian robe, he looked extremely tall when he stood there, but he was always willing to stand behind the backbone, so he praised loudly.

"Lu Huo, what I told you to do is effective." Jin Jue still didn't directly answer Yang Hui's question this time, but turned his head to look at Lu Huo and asked.

"Qiyu Gongzi, as you expected, those castrated piglets, after a month of feeding, are indeed growing much faster than those who have not been castrated." When Lu Huo heard this, he hurriedly reported.

"That's good!" Jin Jue nodded, and immediately ordered: "You immediately order someone to slaughter a castrated piglet, make a whole pig feast for everyone, and let everyone taste it, is the pork produced in our Luoyang County really so difficult to swallow?" ”

"Wait a minute, Second Master Jin, since your measures have worked, we might as well go to the place where the pigs are raised now and see the situation there with our own eyes, how about it?" When Fu Gan heard this, he immediately stood up and suggested.

He was very curious about what method Jin Jue used to make his plan come into effect.

Not only him, but even the two old men, together with the Wei brothers, followed Jin Jue to the pig breeding test field specially opened up in the county.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Fu Gan and the others were surprised to find that where was the pig farm, and the place where the pigs lived was much better than the people in the city.

In this area, dozens of pigsties were built with bricks and stones, and each pigsty was very far away, and there were relatively low houses built next to each pigsty.

There is no way, during this period of time, Jin Jue has been hiding the matter of attacking Wudu County, and he has not had much time to deal with everything in the county, and Liu Xiongming, the only helper he could rely on before, is not good at this kind of thing. As for the county officials and other subordinate officials of Luoyang County in the past, they all became the targets of Jin Jue's attack before.

Most of the people who can hold these positions are local tycoons or families, and they often do things that disregard people's lives, and the people are extremely angry. Except for the Shi family, there are almost no good people. Even the Shi family finally left, and the people who left the Shi family's branch were all ordinary farmers, and there was no one who could help him at all.

During this period, Liu Xiongming had a heavy task, in addition to planting alfalfa, buying pigs and piglets, gathering the hunters of the whole county to hunt wild beasts and catch wild boars, he also had to expel an area in the city and build a pigsty according to the format prescribed by Jin Jue, but he had no way to build suitable houses for the Yellow Turbans who moved here.

One of the most important reasons is that Jin Jue resolutely opposes the large-scale cutting of trees from the local mountains.

In order to guard against the attack of Zhang Lujun's army, Luoyang County had already lost a lot of trees on the mountain, and if it was cut down like this, there would be no hope for next year's grain harvest. This has greatly damaged the local vegetation, and as a traverser, how can you not know the harm of doing so? I did that before because there was no way to build a house, Jin Jue had a solution, but he didn't have time for a while.

The materials for building a pigsty are extremely easy to find, and Luoyang County is mountainous, and gravel can be found all over the mountains, even children can bring back a lot of gravel in a day.

Therefore, after the end of the war, Jin Jue planned to immediately find a suitable place nearby, build a brick kiln, burn red bricks, and build a new brick house for the Yellow Turban soldiers and their families inside and outside the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it was because the boy never had time that the people were allowed to live in this kind of shack, and then the boy will do his best to let the people survive this winter safely." Seeing this, Jin Jue's expression was very calm, and he explained.

As soon as they heard this, the Fifth Patrol and Wei Duan suddenly realized, yes, this kid has only been in Luoyang County for less than three months, and the number of people who came to join him in the Yellow Turban Army has already greatly exceeded the carrying capacity of a small Luoyang County, which is indeed difficult for him.

From this point of view, this kid still has the ability, can let so many people stay in the county safe and sound, and work honestly, you know, more than half of these Yellow Turban Army, before coming here, were soldiers under the various princes!

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, in this pigsty are the boars raised according to the secret method given by the son, and in the pigsty on the right, there are boars raised according to the old method." Lu Huo waited for them to finish, then stepped forward and pointed to the two oversized pigsty in the center and introduced.
