The next day, Lu Bu walked out of Yan Ruide's room with a warm face.

Yan Rui was about to get up and wait for Lu Bu to dress, but was stopped by Lu Bu.

After coming out, Lu Bu came to the county guard's mansion, and his subordinates came to report their work, and Lu Bu immediately fell into a busy situation.

First of all, Xun Yu came to report on the work of Shanghai County, and in the past few months that Lu Bu has been gone, Shanghai County has reached a new level, and now the population has reached nearly 200,000.

Ten natural villages are almost full, and now Xun Yu is busy building new ones.

On the economic front, there is still a bit of a way to make ends meet.

But with the support of the salt industry and the full support of the Zhen family, it is still running.

And now the rate of population growth is slowing down, and the business of Shanghai County is starting to develop gradually.

Other families and tycoons, seeing the increasingly rapid development of Shanghai, have smelled huge business opportunities from it.

Faintly, the consumption level of Shanghai County has almost reached the highest level in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

No way, if you talk about the average income, Shanghai County is now almost the highest in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Here, as long as you are willing to work and not be lazy, there is almost no saying that you can't get by.

Every family has money to spare, the future is very bright, and gradually, the key to Shanghainese consumption is also changing.

……

Immediately after, Xun You also came to report on the work.

The content of Xun You's work report is that three new crops have been in Wu County and Huiji County, and the land of both counties has been passed down.

The common people of the two counties have heard of the characteristics of the three new crops, so they are happy to be able to get the grain of the three new crops, and they are all enthusiastic and enthusiastic.

And because of the promotion of these three new crops, the problem of food and clothing in the two counties can be basically solved in one year this year.

After listening to Xun Yu's report, Lu Bu ordered Xun Yu to set up a special agricultural college in the Academy of Sciences.

In the Faculty of Agriculture, we specialize in how to increase grain production, how to irrigate more reasonably, and how to improve agricultural tools, which are closely related to agriculture.

And Lu Bu gave an idea, the agricultural college to win people, to discover talents from experienced farmers.

Lu Bu gave Xun Yu a task, that is, the Agricultural College should find a way to get rice twice a year within one year.

You know, in modern times rice has reached three crops a year, and now it is only one crop a year.

With two more seasons in a year, how much will this increase in yield?

Of course, the reason why modern rice can be harvested three times a year is closely related to chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers.

In this era, there is no way to achieve it for the time being.

But two crops a year should be an easy problem to solve.

In the original historical trajectory, this problem should have been realized hundreds of years later.

Xun Yu and Xun Yu retreated one after another.

Next, there are heads of steel plants and other departments who come to report their work.

……

In the end, it was Jia Xu who came to report to Lu Bu.

Jia Xu's report is that Gan Ning has now formed a navy of 3,000 men and is in the process of training.

As soon as he heard the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Jiangdong has the Yangtze River moat, the territory of the water is dotted, the most powerful army in Jiangdong, is the water war.

And when attacking the north in the future, it can also be attacked along the surrounding coastline.

The development of the navy is too important for Jiangdong.

Now that he heard that Gan Ning had trained a navy of 3,000 people, how could Lu Bu not like it?

Lu Bu hurriedly called Jia Xu to the beach to take a look.

After arriving at the beach, Lu Bu found that Gan Ning was on a large command ship.

The surrounding sea is full of small iron-covered boats, about 500 of them.

These 500 small boats, under the command of Gan Ning, advanced and retreated in a measured manner and calmly.

On the surface of the sea, the formation is constantly changing.

Although Lu Bu couldn't understand it, he still felt so powerful.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod again and again.

Soon, Gan Ning found Lu Bu and hurriedly asked his subordinates to train themselves, while Gan Ning quickly rushed over.

"My subordinate Gan Ning has seen the lord."

Lu Bu patted Gan Ning's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Xingba, do a good job, train hard, and train an invincible sailor for the county guard!" ”

Gan Ning said excitedly: "Yes, my subordinates will do their best to live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and asked, "Xingba, how much combat strength does the fleet have now?" ”

Gan Ning couldn't help but say: "At present, it is only in vain, and the real combat effectiveness is still a little worse, after all, it has undergone strict training." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod more reassuringly.

Going out on his own, in just a few months, Gan Ning built a navy of 3,000 people from scratch.

From the initial selection of personnel, there are a series of problems in the middle, leaving him with very little time to train.

And in this short period of time, Gan Ning was able to train a navy to this extent, which is already against the sky.

What's even more commendable is that when Lu Bu asked about the combat effectiveness of the navy, Gan Ning did not choose to lie, but told the truth.

And looking at Gan Ning's expression, he seemed to be shouting for the lack of combat effectiveness of the naval army.

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said: "Xingba, you can do it to this extent, it's already very good, don't blame yourself anymore!" ”

"The county guard asks you, does the current navy have the ability to sail?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said: "My lord, at present, this kind of small boat wrapped in iron sheet is lighter than the previous boat, but it is still more robust, so the speed is faster than the previous boat. ”

"However, this kind of small boat is not very good at long-distance sailing, so if you want to sail long, you must have a large ship. The big ships are currently under construction, and the first big ships should be completed soon. As long as there are big ships, we have the ability to sail far. ”

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, Shanghai County is developing so fast, whether it is salt industry or papermaking, as well as glass products, as well as cleaning supplies, as well as tables, chairs and benches and other industries, they are all profiteering industries.

The reason why so many industries have made profits is only enough to support the development of Shanghai County, and even some of them are unable to make ends meet.

One of the biggest expenses is shipbuilding.

Shipbuilding is almost a burning of money, and the fraud of a ship is very high.

And if you want to form a water hegemon, you need to have a huge fleet.

Of course, the reason why we can't make ends meet now is because the commercial market is a bit small now.

For example, salt is just that, at present, it is in short supply, and the output is far from meeting the market demand.

As for glass products and the paper industry, etc., there is no such a big market at all.

The output of these two industries is very considerable, but at present, it is taking the high-end route, and there are some rich people in the whole Han, but it is far from enough to digest so many products.
