Lu Bu originally had 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 war horses.

Recently, Lu Bu asked Zhen Yi to transport war horses to Jiangdong.

In a few months, Zhen Yi actually transported nearly a thousand good horses, and with a little training, they could be used as war horses.

From this incident, we can see the terrifying ability of the Zhen family, one of the four major business families.

If it weren't for the Zhen family, wanting to buy so many war horses in a short period of time would be tantamount to a fool's dream.

You must know that in the original historical trajectory, Sun Quan, as the king of a country in Jiangdong, wanted to form cavalry, but he didn't buy too many war horses.

At that time, it was estimated that the number of war horses in the entire Eastern Wu was only five or six thousand, and it was definitely less than ten thousand.

And now Zhen Yi can help Lu Bu buy a thousand war horses in just a few months, which shows the strength and ability of the Zhen family.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that there is no great chaos in the world now, the separatist forces are not so hostile, and the control of war horses is not strict.

However, in a short period of time, Zhen Yi may only be able to get so many war horses.

For Lu Bu, three thousand war horses to form a cavalry team of three thousand people was barely enough.

Lu Bu first selected a thousand soldiers from the army to supplement the cavalry battalion, and then handed over all these soldiers to Zhao Zilong for training.

At the same time, Lu Bu found Guo's steel and ordered Guo's steel to make a batch of horseshoes.

He also ordered the Quartermaster Department to build saddles and stirrups.

It turned out that the cavalry of this period was not equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, and once these three pendants were equipped, the power of the cavalry was bound to rise to a higher level.

For cavalry, whether a war horse has stirrups or not is a completely different concept.

Unless you are a nomadic child who grew up on horseback, your balance is much worse when you take your hands off the reins.

With stirrups, it's different, it's much more balanced, and you can completely let go of your hands and feet.

At that time, whether it is assault or cavalry shooting, the attack power is bound to be greatly increased by a grade, and it is conservatively estimated that it can also increase the combat effectiveness by 30%.

Horseshoes are also important for war horses.

The wear and tear of the war horse depends largely on the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, once the horse's hooves are smoothed, the war horse can no longer travel long distances, and the war horse is considered useless.

In the course of battle, any terrain can be encountered, and the march will be very long, so the horse's hooves wear out very quickly.

However, after equipping the horseshoe, with the protection of the horseshoe, the wear and tear of the horse's hooves will be greatly reduced, which greatly delays the retirement time of the war horse.

It will take about a few days to make these three types of hangers.

At this time, Cai Yong and Cai Yan finally arrived, and to Lu Bu's surprise, Lu Zhi actually came with him.

Although Lu Bu expected that Lu Zhi was very likely to come, he didn't expect Lu Zhi to come so quickly.

After settling Lu Zhi and Cai Yong first, Lu Bu then led Cai Yan to see Diao Chan, Zhang Ning and Yan Rui.

Although he had mentioned it to Cai Yan in advance, when it came to the end, Lu Bu was still extremely embarrassed and felt sorry for Cai Yan.

On the other hand, Cai Yan's face was calm and he didn't take it seriously.

In fact, it was common to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, and if you were rich and powerful and did not accept concubines, it would be a strange thing.

When the time comes, no one will accuse the hostess of being jealous and refusing to let the male owner take a concubine!

After the four girls met, the scene of the disagreement between the women that Lu Bu was worried about did not happen, on the contrary, the women became good friends who talked about everything, and they seemed to have known each other for a long time.

Seeing this kind of scene, Lu Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Because before going to Luoyang, Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to focus on building schools, scientific research institutes, and medical schools.

At present, the construction of the school and the research institute has been completed and will be put into use immediately.

In the construction of the school, Lu Bu adopted the pattern of the school in later generations.

The teaching method of using chalkboard and chalk to write directly on the blackboard is simple and straightforward, and the effect is definitely much better than the previous teaching method.

Desks and benches are used in the classrooms, and the classrooms are uniformly equipped with large windows, all of which are equipped with glass.

Lu Bu believes that there is no such luxurious and extravagant classroom in the entire Han Dynasty at present.

Not only the schools, but also the new houses in the whole of Shanghai County are now all with large windows and installed with glass.

And in a short time, Lu Bu is not ready to take out the glass installed on the window.

What we want is to give a deep impression to all outsiders, such a building can only be seen in Shanghai, only in Shanghai!

The problem of the classroom has been solved, and now Lu Bu has ordered someone to issue an official document, as long as it is a school-appropriate child in Wu County and Huiji County, all of them can go to school for free.

Students outside the two counties will need to pay a certain fee.

As for the curriculum, Lu Bu plans to temporarily open the Four Books and Five Classics course, as well as three courses in mathematics and natural science.

In fact, according to Lu Bu's original intention, he was not going to open a course on the Four Books and Five Classics.

In the Four Books and Five Classics, it is full of all the people, and Lu Bu himself has a headache when he looks at it.

If you want to study the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, you can't do it without decades of hard work.

And even if you study the Four Books and the Five Classics thoroughly, will you be able to be a good official?

The answer is clearly no.

Since ancient times, the ministers who have governed the world have learned a lot of things, and they definitely do not govern the country simply with Confucianism.

The so-called half of the treatise on ruling the world is pure nonsense in Lu Bu's opinion.

Thoroughly studied the Four Books and Five Classics, at best, he is just a Confucian.

In the view of Lu Bu, who has gone through a modern journey, this is definitely a waste of students' good youth.

Of course, the Four Books and the Five Classics and other Chinese studies need to be studied, but everyone does not need to study them all.

In Lu Bu's view, simplifying Chinese characters, unifying standards, and promoting vernacular writing are the most effective ways to popularize culture.

Of course, this is not possible for the time being.

First of all, without suitable teaching materials, the compilation of teaching materials cannot be completed in a short period of time.

One of the most important reasons is that the implementation of the vernacular is bound to cause an uproar among the scholars, and Lu Bu does not dare to do so now.

If you want to implement the vernacular, you must wait until the country is unified and you have complete control over the overall situation.

Even so, you can't rush it, you need to take it slowly.

……

Lu Bu took Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Yan and Huang Yueying to the campus of Shanghai University.

Seeing the huge scale of Shanghai University, several people couldn't help but be amazed.

In the entire Han Dynasty, there was no second academy of this scale.

Not even a tenth of the size of Shanghai University does not exist.

And Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Yong and others, when they saw the school building poured out of reinforced concrete, combined with the style of the Three Kingdoms and the modern design concept - in fact, it is what modern people call the retro style, and several people couldn't help but be amazed.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but exclaim: "Seeing such an earth-shattering academy, the old man is here right this time!" Bongxian, did you design these yourself? ”
