Chapter Thirty-Six: Living as a Cao Thief
"Hell, this is a cook."
"The lord accepts her as a cook, and makes a bed and folds quilts for you every day, who dares to marry her? I think she looks good, so I will marry this woman and be a concubine, and the child will be considered a daughter. ”
Lu Bu shouted: "In this way, how different am I from Cao Thief." ”
Chen Gong complained to Lu Bu: "This is a military camp, the lord should arrange her to the city, it's not suitable." ”
"What the public station said is very much, tomorrow the city will arrange a house for office affairs, so that their mother and daughter can also live in it."
After a night without words, Lu Bu inexplicably married a concubine, still a baby.
However, this Cai family is very open, after all, women in the Han Dynasty were not so conservative, the key is that Lu Bu is handsome and rich, has a house at home, has a horse, and makes a lot of money as a concubine.
The two chatted until late at night, and it turned out that this Cai family was from a big family and knew a lot of knowledge.
"The general wants to settle Qingzhou, it is difficult to say, it is easy to say, but the concubine has a few superficial views."
"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"This is the time when it will fall on a tree and a pig. Plant good trees, raise good pigs. ”
"Tell me more details?"
"In the past, when it was stable, ordinary people could wear silk shoes at home, and their clothes were also silk, for no other reason, every household planted mulberry trees, and picked mulberry and raised silkworms. In between farm work, I don't need to buy silkworms to feed and make clothes at home. ”
Lu Bu plucked out his ears: "A mulberry tree, from a small seedling to a grown, I'm afraid it will take five or six years, right?" It's been a bit of a long time. ”
"Mulberry seedlings take root in cuttings, this can be planted densely, thousands of seedlings can be planted in one acre, and the next year can be harvested, these are my family's secret methods."
Lu Bu was still a layman, and praised: "I didn't expect you to know a lot, dense planting mulberry, this is a good way, what about raising pigs?" ”
"Pig raising is closely related to food, and the price of pigs is expensive, far higher than grain."
"I can't see that you still know how to raise pigs?"
"Although my mother's family is a big family, there are not many people who get their own family, but only a few dozen acres. My father has accumulated thousands of family businesses, all of which depend on pig raising. Pigs are raised with grain scraps, half grazing and half raising, which is very economical in grain. If there are more pigs, the fields will be very fertile. When the fields are fertile, they produce more grain. As long as a small family is industrious, it is no problem to raise three or two pigs a year. During the New Year, kill one and sell one, and that day is also excellent. There are also old people in the village who can cut pigs, which can make the pigs grow fast and the meat tastes good. ”
"Then why pigs, and not cows?"
Cai smiled: "The general said that the cow is naturally much better than the pig, but where can the average person buy the cattle, even if they can afford it, the cattle reproduce slowly, and it is impossible to be as popular as the pig." Pigs give birth to more than seven or eight litters, and reproduce a lot. It can eat grass, eat grain scraps, can be raised in captivity, and can be raised in the wild. ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Okay, thank you for saying these things, Ben is really not very proficient in these things." Pig food is safe in the world, and your methods are much more reliable than those experts. ”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was an era of talented women, and after a night of in-depth communication, Lu Bu liked this concubine more and more, although she was much worse than Diao Chan, but she knew a lot.
He is proficient in pig farming, sericulture, spinning, and even knows a little bit of veterinary medicine.
In the early morning of the next day, the war drums of Zhang Yun's army were beaten, and the Chinese army gathered to discuss things.
Zhang Yun sat in the middle, obviously much older, a person in his forties, not as brave as a few years ago.
The military advisor Taurus was holding a feather fan beside him, and his face was sinking like water.
Zhang Yun glanced at the generals: "I believe that I don't need to say anything about the current situation, Lu Bu has already persuaded Donglai City, Zhang Hu has taken refuge in Lu Bu, and we are now suffering from the enemy." Chen Gong has been here twice, and he has been talking about peace talks, and if you have any ideas, just speak freely. ”
The generals were silent for a while, and Taurus was the first to speak.
"I'll tell you a bad news, our rangers have all been beaten back by Lu Bu's army, and now there are no more rangers around the camp."
It turned out that in these years, it was inconvenient to communicate in the war, and a large number of rangers were needed around the camp as eyes and ears, but now the rangers are gone, and the eyes of the camp are blind and deaf.
Zhang Yun's 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, that is also a huge team, the rangers are the elite of the army, there are only more than 1,000 people, I didn't expect Lu Bujun to beat him and dare not go out of the camp.
The generals were frightened, originally thinking that they could rely on the number of people, but now it seems that they are wrong.
Zhang Yun's nephew, Zhang Ying, spoke first: "I support the decision of the commander, no matter whether he leaves, he will listen to the commander." ”
It seemed that he had said this, but as if he hadn't said it, Taurus looked at Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying sighed: "It's not that I can't wait to work hard, but Lu Bu's soldiers are too perverted, and they shoot arrows immediately more accurately than we stand." Are these people all born in iron, and how can they all have armor. ”
Other generals expressed their attitudes: "These officers and soldiers can fight, their knives are too sharp, and our weapons are not related to this." ”
Some also said: "If we fight the Donglai army, our soldiers don't have to say anything, they rush forward with a shout, but against the Lu Bu army, all of them are weak." ”
Zhang Yun saw that the generals had no objections, and immediately asked: "Wen Hou also said that after the past, he was not to blame for the past, and the floating wealth of each battalion was divided separately, and he will not be held accountable." But I can't go home, I was given two ways, the first is to continue to be a soldier, and when the world is peaceful, you can go home. The second road is Tuntian, where you can marry a wife and have children after three years of work and start a family. ”
The generals were in an uproar, but they didn't expect the conditions given by Lu Bu to be so generous, which was a great benefit.
You must know that they have done a lot of burning, killing and looting in the Yellow Turban Army, and they have not confiscated their silver and money.
Some people with great strength and good martial arts are willing to make a name for themselves with a knife and a gun, but more want to farm and farm, although they are tired, but they can sleep peacefully.
"I want to be a soldier, continue to fight, and feel uncomfortable without fighting for a few days."
"I want to farm, I can farm."
Zhang Yun nodded: "Okay, let's talk to Wen Hou at noon, if you become an army and have a good destination, you can be regarded as worthy of the army." ”
At noon that day, after three days of negotiations, it was finally time to reveal.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Yun, and Jin Niu were together face to face.
Zhang Yunyi arched his hand: "Wenhou, the generals have also discussed, and they all agreed to accept the adaptation, most of them are unwilling to continue to fight, and want to farm the land." ”
Lu Bu nodded: "Good, very good, very good." has not lived up to the trust that the general has placed in you, or the old rules I said, the army was reorganized and organized into 10,000 elites, led by you, and the rest were scattered to Jinan County, Beihai County, and Donglai County Tuntian. ”
Zhang Yun shook his head: "I'm old, and the past few years of fighting have proven that I'm not suitable for war, I just want to live a stable life for a few days, and the team will be led by my nephew Zhang Ying, how about it?" ”
