It was late July, and a sudden rainstorm suddenly landed in the northern part of Shangjun and the territory of Xihe, causing great trouble to the Tiance army and tens of thousands of border people who had just arrived in Yuanyang and Yuanyin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The arid north has been short of rain, but the rains have come at an inopportune time. Whether it is a person or an animal, if they are drenched in the rain for too long, they will get sick, and once there is a large-scale outbreak of typhoid fever, many people will die, many people......

Unlike the Han people, the Qianghu people have the habit of chasing water and grass to live, so not only did they not build houses here, but they also destroyed the houses that the Han people had abandoned.

Lu Bu personally inspected the camps and the situation in the vicinity of the two counties, and then issued an order, telling the old and weak women and children to quickly live in the earthen caves scattered in the two counties that had been abandoned for more than ten years to avoid the rain. The able-bodied men and soldiers used their existing tents to shelter from the rain, and on the other hand, they took turns cutting down trees and branches on the hilly slopes to build temporary shelters.

This kind of "cave-dwelling" house has appeared on the Loess Plateau since ancient times, and has a history of more than 2,000 years until the end of the Han Dynasty. Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties are in the loess layer is very deep in the area, the poor Han people creatively use the loess upright characteristics of strong uprightness, rely on the solid and solid soil cliff to dig holes and live, can not only save a lot of building materials, but also ensure that the house is warm in winter and cool in summer.

After on-the-spot inspection, Lu Bu found that there are three main types of abandoned caves distributed around Yuanyin and Yuanyang, including cliff-type caves, sunken caves and courtyard-type caves, and cliff-type caves occupy the vast majority. There are no wooden doors or windows in these caves, but most of them are dry inside, and there are no cracks or slag on the roofs, so it is much better than tents and canopies to clean up the feces and dust left by the small animals inside.

After inspecting the temporary resettlement of border people in the rain, Lü Bu was greatly inspired by the caves, and he felt that this kind of architecture, which made full use of the soil and terrain, was worth vigorously promoting and maintaining for a long time.

If every family has to build a house on flat land, once the population develops, it will cause irreversible damage to the local ecological environment. Once the trees are cut down, soil erosion naturally occurs, followed by desertification, migration, and finally a vicious cycle.

More importantly, both mud and brick houses have a much shorter survival time than caves embedded in a thick layer of loess. If a family has several holes, it can allow future generations to live in it for hundreds of years without damage, while mud and brick houses built on flat ground may not even be able to live in a generation.

The cave is not afraid of fire, wind, or rain, and the only thing to worry about is the earthquake. But in Lü Bu's memory, it seems that he had never heard of any earthquakes that had occurred in the north of Bingzhou since the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the idea of building a large number of caves in Yuanyin and Yuanyang to resettle the border people is feasible.

Lu Bu returned to the camp tent of the Chinese army and immediately ordered the logistics officer to make a large amount of ginger soup in the army and distribute it to the soldiers and people who were drenched in the rain.

At the same time, Lu Bu also gave a death order to all the soldiers and civilians, no one was allowed to drink raw water, no matter how thirsty he was, he had to drink cooked water that had been boiled and then warmed. Whoever dares to disobey this military order will be dealt with in accordance with military law once discovered!

In order to prevent the outbreak of the disease, Lü Bu also had soldiers brave the rain to build dry toilets for men and women outside the camps, and added rainproof roofs to these dry toilets.

Lu Bu has extremely high prestige in the army, and no one dares to disobey his orders. Although these border people who moved inward did not fully understand the significance of Lu Bu's orders and measures, Lu Bu's sentence that "those who violate the order will be dealt with in accordance with military law" is enough to deter people from being careless.

In the continuous rain, Lu Bu ushered in the arrival of Hu Wubiao and Chang Lin.

Although they hadn't started contact yet, Lu Bu was very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them in the rain. After observing the resettlement of border people in various places, Hu Wubiao and Chang Lin also admired Lu Bu, a lord who was born as a military general, in terms of internal affairs. In particular, Lu Bu did not take any special care and resolutely placed his family and relatives with the border people of Wuyuan County, which made Hu Wubiao and Chang Lin see the halo of a wise lord on Lu Bu's head.

Although the rain was still falling outside the military tent, it did not affect the conversation between Lu Bu and Hu Wubiao and Chang Lin, the two county commanders in the tent.

Lu Bu said: "Based on my field observation in the past few days, Yuanyang and Yuanyin are actually the two counties with the best conditions in the entire Xihe County. The border people of Wuyuan County have lived in the gap between the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu for a long time, and their lives are not easy. Both of them are capable people, and they hope to work tirelessly to lead these Hermes-Epitek to live a good life of abundant food and clothing as soon as possible! ”

Chang Lin promised Lu Bu: "The fact that the general can settle his family here shows that you attach great importance to Yuanyin and Yuanyang. Although Chang Mou lacks talent, he also understands how difficult people's livelihood is, and is willing to do his best to make Yuanyang stabilize as soon as possible. ”

Hu Wubiao followed Chang Lin's words and said: "The Hu family can be taken in by the general, and now there is finally a place to settle down, and they will be repaid by their own liver and brain." In the future, if there is any order in the Heavenly Ce Mansion, no one will dare to disobey it! ”

Chang Lin's statement was tactful and subtle, and Hu Wubiao's statement was direct and straightforward, but they all promised Lu Bu that he would do his best to do his part.

Lu Bu continued: "Now that the two counties are in ruins, and there are many ideas for relocating border people, I have sorted out my thoughts from the four aspects of food, clothing, housing, and use, and I have got a few immature ideas, and now I will say them for your reference." ”

"In the case of eating, I have already announced in public that each household will be given enough land per capita to cultivate, and that there will be a large amount of remaining barren land according to the total population of the two counties. In the future, 5,000 soldiers will be stationed in Yuanyang and Yuanyin counties for a long time, including 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry in Yuanyin; 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry in Yuanyang. I will continue to let the army carry out the tuntian here to reduce the pressure on the grain storage of the officials of the two counties. ”

"When the 13,000 people migrated from Wuyuan, they basically brought all the grain and valuable belongings in their families, and their food Tiance Army never asked for a single grain, so it should be able to support until the end of the year. When I return to Lishi, I will send someone to send a batch of good seeds and tools, and after the heavy rain has stopped, you will organize the people of the two counties to burn the wasteland and cultivated land in time, and sow them in autumn according to the season. ”

"If there is a shortage of food, you can report to the Taishou Mansion and the Tiance Mansion and ask for support. But we must also do our best to mobilize the people and find ways to solve the problem on our own. For example, after the rain stops, the elderly, the weak, women and children can be organized to go up the mountain to collect and pick all kinds of fruits and wild vegetables; You can catch river fish in the middle of the water; It is also possible to organize people who can hunt to go into the mountains to hunt. In a word, prepare early and save as much as possible. ”
