"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The majestic shouting of killing resounded in the sky, in addition to the city guards who were responsible for daily patrols, the remaining two thousand city guards were concentrated on the school field by Han De for training, carrying the mountain axe and walking on the school field, watching a group of soldiers tirelessly training the art of stabbing, in fact, if there was a choice, Han De wanted to go to the camp outside the city to see how Lu Bu trained the soldiers, I heard that the lord was also quite good at training, but unfortunately as the commander of the city guards, he was responsible for the security of Chang'an, Han De did not have much freedom, every day, either training, or taking people to walk around the streets.

"Newspaper~"

In the distance, a strong man dressed as a family member ran in, hurried to the parade platform, and said to Han De: "General Han." ā€

"You're from the Lord's Mansion?" Han De glanced at this person in surprise: "But the lord is looking for me?" ā€

"It's not." The family shook his head, and said with a happy face: "Madame is about to give birth, Mrs. Da Qiao sent me to inform the lord, but the subordinates don't know where the lord is, and I want to ask the general for help, so I will send a few more people to the camp, ploughing the fields and other places to inform the lord." ā€

"The lord has given birth...... No...... I mean, Madame gave birth? Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed on Han De's face, and he looked at his family and said, "You wait first, I'll arrange a few people to help you." ā€

"General Xie Han!" The family hurriedly thanked him.

"General Liaohua." Han De sent a team of people to help find Lu Bu, and recruited Liao Hua, the deputy general of the city guard.

"General, what's the matter?" Liao Hua intervened and bowed and said to Han De.

"Madame is about to give birth, the plane is frightened, you take two teams of people to the General's Mansion for martial law, don't let people disturb the master's mother." Han De said uneasily.

Diao Chan gave birth, which was a big event for the generals under Lu Bu's command, Liao Hua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered two teams of people to run in the direction of the general's mansion.

……

Outside Chang'an City, on a cultivated field, in the curious eyes of many people, erected a building as high as three zhang, under the command of several craftsmen, a huge canvas was fixed on the horizontal and vertical cross of the wooden pole, with the canvas unfolded, under the impetus of the wind, slowly rotated, driving the bearings inside, the sound of friction, sounded a little harsh.

A group of people who were busy with farming gathered together to look at the buildings in front of them, wondering what the use of such a big thing was built here.

"Attracting the power of heaven and earth for my use, this idea is somewhat similar to the keel car, but it is a little different." Chen Gong accompanied Lu Bu to stand in the workshop at the bottom of the windmill, watching the wind blades composed of four canvases outside turn in the wind, through the machine, teleported in, pushing the stone mill, the pre-prepared grain was poured into the grinding plate, and it was ground into flour little by little, but it was much faster than the efficiency of manual grinding.

"It's pretty much the same as that." Lu Bu nodded, the keel car in the Han Dynasty was to automatically draw water out to irrigate the fields with the help of turbulent water flow, which was very efficient, but the force of the water flow was very high, and it could not be used by a river: "This thing is moved by the wind, which can save farmers a lot of time." ā€

Chen Gong was calculating the cost performance in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "But the materials used to build a workshop are enough to equip a hundred elite soldiers. ā€

"This is the first finished aircraft, it was rebuilt several times for experiments, and now that the first one has been built, it will be built again in the future, and it will save a lot, and even half of it will not be used." Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "And this windmill workshop is enough for a hundred households to use, as long as it is maintained in time, it can be used for many years, and in the end, it is still very cost-effective." ā€

This is the first building made by the craftsman camp for people's livelihood, for Lu Bu, it has great significance, with the successive leading things of the times, the craftsman camp is no longer a gold-swallowing beast in the hands of Lu Bu, not only can improve people's livelihood, but also can sell some practical things, become a gold-absorbing machine, and it is also a liberation for manpower.

"What the lord said is very true, but now that the autumn harvest has passed, my subordinates think that this thing should be promoted, or wait for the next year, and let the nearby people use it this year, so that the people can better appreciate the wonders of this thing." Chen Gong nodded, although the consumption is large, but just like Lu Bu said, the use is not small, and it is better to use it for a long time, it is not a consumable thing, if it can be promoted, the grain production under Lu Bu can be increased a lot.

"What the public station said is good, but the preparations will start this year." For Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu still agrees, this year Lu Bu has just started, a hundred wastes to be revived, although there is a lot of business income, but the expenditure is also a lot, the army wants food, military salary, but also to build weapons, Chang'an Academy to repair, and some places in order to appease the people, the implementation of tax exemption policy, are to pay for the place, even if Chen Gong is careful to calculate, can only barely make ends meet, want to promote the windmill on this basis, although it is beneficial to the people's livelihood, but for Lu Bu, it is definitely a burden in the city.

"Gongtai, in less than ten years, I will make Guanzhong the center of the whole world, and everyone is proud to be able to live in Guanzhong!" Coming to the outside of the workshop, watching the huge sail slowly turn under the impetus of the wind, Lu Bu was full of pride.

Chen Gong smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't answer, maybe, who will know what will happen in the future? However, the current Chang'an does give people a sense of vitality.

A group of civilians, led by soldiers, were among the first to enjoy the windmill mill, and who were also the ones who would use it for free for the next year, entering the workshop with apprehension and curiosity, and in a few moments there were bursts of exclamations and surprises.

Lu Bu sighed lightly, this year has spent too much time on the war, and now it is late autumn, even if the workshop is built, it cannot be promoted, but it doesn't matter, after the Hetao is laid in the next year, the materials obtained will be greatly built in Yongliang and even the Hetao, and in the year after tomorrow, the grain productivity under the rule can be increased by a grade.

According to Lu Bu's plan, as long as he takes the Hetao, he can start to attack the Western Regions, reinstate Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan under his command, and then restart the Silk Road, establish a prosperous zone with Chang'an as the economic center, and use the Silk Road to absorb a large number of foreign resources, and use these resources to operate Guanzhong, forming a virtuous circle, just as Lu Bu said, in less than ten years, Chang'an will become the economic center of this world, not only referring to the Central Plains, but the entire continental plate, The new system that belonged to Lu Bu was completely stabilized.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu laughed, at that time, this feat, not to mention the fame of the ages, at least could make Lu Bu's position in this pass ten or twenty years later, no one can shake it, and it will be more beneficial to other policies implemented by Lu Bu in the future.

"Gongtai, next year's spring ploughing, the materials for attacking the Hetao can be ready?" Looking at the people who were gradually showing joy, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gongdao.

Although the time for the expedition to Hetao has been set for next year, preparations for Yiying have begun as early as a month ago.

In order to avoid the loss of labor and money, Lu Bu set out on this expedition and prepared to bring 3,000 men and horses, plus the 5,000 cavalry of the Yue clan (many died during the previous campaign), adding up to the scale of 8,000 people, but with the current weakness of the Xiongnu and the chaos in the Hetao area, in Lu Bu's opinion, 8,000 people is enough for him to sweep the entire Hetao area.

"It is expected that all the supplies will be ready by the end of March next year." Chen Gong nodded, Lu Bu's style of play, accustomed to fighting to nourish the war, especially in the case of cavalry field battles, the dependence on logistics is not high, this time the main logistics materials are all prepared for the occupation of the Hetao, after all, Lu Bu is ready to pocket this fertile land, not to fight and leave, so it is relatively cumbersome to prepare.

"Has the lord ever thought about how to deal with the Hu people after capturing the Hetao?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu, there are not only Huns in the land of Hetao, there are also many Hu people like Yueshi who are willing to accept Lu Bu's rule, and there are Hu people like Qin Hu, although they are called Hu, they are actually Han people, they can't be generalized, and these people are also different from the Qiang people, which is not only related to the battle of Hetao, but also related to the development direction of Lu Bu under the rule of Lu Bu in the future.

"That's a bit of an idea." Lu Bu muttered: "Gongtai, I plan to divide the population under my rule into three classes, the first class is the Han people, the second class is the people of the Western Regions, the Qiang people and some of the Hu people who are willing to accept our rule and jurisdiction unconditionally, such as the Yueshi, Xiutu and even Wuhuan, the third class is composed of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the second class of the Western Regions and the Qiang people can obtain my first-class Han nationality through meritorious service or great contributions, and have the right to intermarry on an equal footing with the Han people, and integrate into our Han people, of course, the specific law, I will ask the Department of Justice (DoJ) to draw up a comprehensive programme to be used as a decree for the future administration of Hu Tei. ā€

The Han people in this era are still quite xenophobic, whether it is the Qiang people or the Hu people, if you want them to be completely the same as the Han people, at least in the governance of this period of time, the problems presented in the governance are far from reaching the great conditions of national harmony, which is also an important reason for Chen Gongti to raise this issue, the Qiang and Han who have lived together for many years, and are quite similar in cultural origin, can not be perfectly integrated, how can the Hu people who were added afterwards be able to integrate into the Han society?

This kind of thinking is not uncommon even among the high-level, so national integration must be carried out under the premise that the Han people have absolute superiority.

Lu Bu intuitively separates the levels, and will let the Department of Justice clearly write out the relevant rights and obligations, make the hierarchy clear, first let the Han people have a sense of superiority, and then give the Qiang people and Hu people in the next layer a channel that can rise.

"It's quite workable." After thinking for a moment, Chen Gong nodded, and was about to speak, when a knight galloped from a distance, and when he saw Lu Bu from a distance, he shouted loudly and excitedly.

"Lord, there is news from the General's Mansion that Madame is about to give birth!"

"What?" When Lu Bu heard this, even if he had been prepared, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of joy and unreality at this moment.

"Congratulations, my lord." Chen Gong smiled and arched his hand to Lu Bu. (To be continued.) )
