With the establishment of the military reclamation group, the problem of grain and grass for the army has been fundamentally solved. Tao Ying also ordered that within three years, the frontier army reclamation group must save enough grain and grass to prepare for the war three years later.

After planting the autumn crops, the people of Xuzhou began to build and widen the river. Shipyards were also busy building large ships so that they could transport them to other states for sale. With the increasing demand for iron, the demand for iron ore is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the needs of Xuzhou. So Tao Ying sent people to explore the iron ore in the place he marked, and then purchased the right to operate the iron ore from the local government by purchasing.

The nearby iron ore was mined and shipped to Xuzhou, and Tao Ying set up six large steel mills in the surrounding counties of Dacheng, and the steel mills recruited workers, and more and more farmers joined in the construction of the big industrial era.

The time soon came to August, in July, Cao Pi was full of Yanzhou's education, sneaked away from Yanzhou, and in early August, Cao Pi arrived in Pengcheng and returned to Kongrong School to study.

In early August, Cao Cao announced the establishment of an edict against Yuan Shu by the decree of the Han Emperor. Yuan Shu had been the emperor of Huainan for more than half a year at this time. After Yuan Shu became emperor, he plundered the common people more and more and did many bad things. In May, he raised troops from Tao Ying's territory to attack Xiaopei, and Lu Bu came out to mediate the two and bluffed Ji Ling.

This back and forth tossed back, not only did he not report Liu Bei's worries about the last attack, but instead handed over Tao Ying thousands of taels of silver for the transit fee. When he went back, he was angry with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu attacked Lu Bu again in July. As a result, he was defeated in Lu State, Lu Bu led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to chase all the way to Peiguo, Ji Ling led the army to hide in Peiguo, and asked Tao Ying's assistance, Tao Ying was busy in Peiguo Chen nearly 10,000 soldiers, blocking Lu Bu's entry.

Lu Bu wanted to attack Tao Ying, but the strategists suggested that Xuzhou, which had plenty of food and grass, should not be attacked at this moment, and Yuan Shu should be attacked first. In the end, Lu Bu had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and after saving Ji Ling, when Ji Ling withdrew his troops from Peiguo, he did not forget to come to Taoling Town to thank Tao Ying. When Ji Ling transferred from Xiao County to Taoling Town, he heard that Ji Ling came to thank him, Tao Ying knew Ji Ling's name, and really wanted to see the demeanor of the first general under Yuan Shu.

When he led the troops to attack him, he was beaten, he attacked Xiaopei and returned without a fight, and attacked Lu State, if he hadn't saved him himself, I am afraid that he would have been poked to death by Lu Bu's halberd!

Such a sad number one general really made Tao Ying feel that he had to see him!

Outside Taoling Town, "Agriculture" has been written for three months, Tao Ying stopped writing, took Zhou Tai to walk outside the town when he had nothing to do, and also went to pick up Ji Ling by the way. That's right, Tao Ying is so easy-going. Ji Ling still takes the waterway, the northern land, although it is in Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou, there are still a lot of mountain bandits here. Therefore, Pengcheng and Xiao County are mountainous, so mountain bandits are rampant, and they cannot win several requisitions.

After a large-scale conquest, they fled into the mountains, unable to completely exterminate them. Tao Ying once wanted the Sky Eagle Army recruited by He Qi in Danyang to come to Pengcheng to suppress the bandits first, but Chen Dengdao recently after Sun Ce broke through Youquan, and began to plot against Suzhou again, so he asked He Qi to exterminate the Suzhou bandits first.

Suzhou is seriously troubled, and they may be bought by Zhou Yu, and then act as an internal response when Sun Ce attacks Suzhou. Therefore, He Qi stayed in Suzhou County to suppress bandits, and this elite army defended Suzhou County from being violated by the way.

The Sky Eagle Army could not estimate the north for the time being, and Tao Ying could not form another army, so he had to let the counties hold the city tightly, and the villages and towns also set up civil defense to lower the mountain bandits.

Ji Ling came from the waterway, because Tao should be particularly strict with the waterway. Tao Ying wants to build Xuzhou into a water kingdom, because water transportation is the lowest cost transportation in any era, so in order to protect the safety of merchants, Tao Ying ordered to warn all bandits, if they dare to move the waterway, even if all the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are desperate, they must be exterminated!

The bandits did not dare to move, and the military boats on the river came to patrol, so the law and order was quite good. Ji Ling came to the dock, and Tao Ying was exercising on the edge of the dock. Seeing a small boat coming, Ji Ling was standing on the bow of the boat with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and Ji Ling, who was on his back and waist, looked very powerful like this!

Disembarking from the dock, Ji Ling asked the boatman to carry a box of silver to the shore. Nearly 1,000 taels of silver were given to Tao Ying as a gift, and looking at the two boxes of white silver, Tao Ying was very happy.

He was particularly short of money in front of him, and the thousand taels of silver Pengcheng Cold Weapons Factory, Firearms Factory, and Agricultural Factory had a year's salary. Although there are nearly 20,000 factory workers combined, who made this an era when there was not enough to eat? Of course, the salary that Tao should give them is the lowest, there is no way, who has made Xuzhou lack money in recent years?

Looking at Ji Ling's three-pointed and two-edged knives, all of them were broken because of the fight with Lu Bu, and as a return gift, Tao Ying pointed to the weapon in Ji Ling's hand and said: "General Ji, as the first general under the emperor, how can he not have a first-class weapon?" Come on, take the general's weapon and let the craftsman stop all the work in his hands, and build an identical high-quality weapon before tomorrow! ”

The soldiers next to him were busy picking up Ji Ling's weapons, Ji Ling knew that Xuzhou was rich in stainless steel weapons, and wanted to make one, but Xuzhou Commercial Bank had just been established in Huainan, and they did not accept private customization for the time being, they only sold popular weapons, three-pointed two-edged knives, which are Erlangshan's weapons, were not produced for the time being.

So Ji Ling had no choice but to continue to use his broken weapon, and when he fought against Lu Bu, he couldn't beat Lu Bu, and was almost stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd.

The soldiers took Ji Ling's weapon and rushed to the weapons factory by boat from the ferry, and Ji Ling hurriedly thanked him. A weapon that takes advantage of the hand, and it is a weapon that sharpens iron like clay, which is naturally much more valuable, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold. It is Tao Ying's first-class weapon for takeaway, and a sword costs more than three hundred taels of silver, not to mention a three-pointed and two-edged knife, which costs at least a thousand taels of silver.

However, fortunately, Tao Ying produces it by itself, and the cost is relatively low.

Hearing that the big man in front of him was the famous Yuan Shu's first fierce general, Zhou Tai wanted to compete with him. made a request, Ji Ling looked at Zhou Tai, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head and refused.

Tao Ying comforted and said that it would not be too late for Ji Ling to take the weapon and try it again tomorrow, how could he not bow his head when he was under the eaves, Ji Ling could only nod and agree.

After a night of silence, Zhou Tai got up early the next day, put on his armor and came to the school field in Taoling Town. I heard that the captain of the state pastor's personal guard team was going to compete with Yuan Shu's fierce generals, and the school was crowded with people inside and out on this day. Many of them came from Pengcheng to watch, and everyone rushed to see the demeanor of the two generals, which is much more exciting than the martial arts champion exam that is seen every year!

Seeing this situation, Tao Ying, a money-making madman, saw that since he couldn't drive these people away, he stomped his feet, which was not comparable! Then let people release the news, and two days later, they will compete in the Pengcheng Martial Arts Arena!
