Chapter 55: The Arrangement of Wives and Concubines
There are three more pregnant women at once, Lu Bu is both happy and worried, the family is big, and the wives and concubines are intrigued, which is not a good thing.
At lunchtime, everyone eats around a round table and sits on tall chairs, which is Lu Bu's innovation in furniture.
Lu Bu proposed: "Our family is getting bigger and bigger, but Qingzhou is barren and the people are living a difficult life. β
Several wives and concubines naturally had no opinion: "The husband's arrangement is, and I will obey the arrangement." β
After careful consideration, Lu Bu finally decided that the Yan family was still in charge of the family, and she would handle everything at home. Li manages the porridge shed in Jinan City, and goes to the porridge shed every day to distribute rice porridge to the poor people.
Diao Chan is not pregnant, and her health is good, Lu Bu set up a food workshop for Diao Chan, and currently focuses on two projects, one is pickles and the other is winemaking.
In these years, life is difficult, not to mention the people, even the army is mainly pickles, so the consumption of pickles is very large, and it is very necessary to set up a pickle factory.
Winemaking is mainly to create benefits, according to the existing technology to brew grain wine, through distillation, filtration, a little bit of technology on the filtration, the brewed wine is transparent, high alcohol content, is the favorite of the northern nomads.
Trading liquor for horses and cattle was LΓΌ Bu's stated goal.
The third lady Kong Rui was very noisy: "What do I do, what do I do." β
"Why don't you raise a baby at home?"
Kong Rui shook his head: "I can't use it, I can't use it." I'm in good health. Besides, my mother said that women have to work more so that it doesn't hurt to have children. β
"Then start a Salesian Bureau."
"Salesian Bureau, is it the adoption of homeless children?"
"No, that already has one. The Salesian Bureau, which was founded now, accepts children between the ages of three and six or seven, mainly to play and have fun with them. The parents are going to work, and the children have to be managed. β
Kong Rui looked bitter: "Ah, isn't this just a child?" β
"You can't think like that, education should start from the baby, three or four years old is the naughty time, many peasant children are unattended, all kinds of accidents occur, it is still very sad. Let's set up the Salesian Bureau, which is the initiative of the Great Han, and what a glorious thing to think about. Besides, you just organize, and you don't need to watch the children. β
"Okay, I'll do it."
In the next few days, Lu Bu successively founded Diao Chan Food Workshop, which has a pickle workshop and a brewing workshop.
The first Qingzhou Salesian Bureau was opened in a large courtyard in Ximen, with a total of six women. Enrollment is free, with no limit on the number of students, including breakfast and lunch. Many parents are still afraid to send it in because they don't know what it's for.
Let's talk about learning, what can a three- or four-year-old doll learn?
The children of the sergeant's family were the first batch of students, including the son of the Guan Hai family, and one hundred and eighty children came.
But Kong Rui was busy enough, and it took several days to find a way.
It was a bold attempt, and Kong Rui's main purpose was to train teachers from the Salesian Bureau.
During the Han Dynasty, there were many women who read and read, and their thinking was not so feudal, so there were such conditions.
After spring ploughing, the summer harvest is still early.
The entire Qingzhou moved, except for the elite cavalry of each department to carry out combat preparations, the other armies all took action.
Hoes and shovels are in hand, and Qingzhou soldiers and horses on the official road are on the water.
First of all, in the era of leveling pipelines and no cement asphalt, the roads were all rammed earth roads, and the road surface was very easy to damage, so the soldiers widened, reinforced, and tamped the road surface.
The second is to build bridges, there are many rivers and springs in Jinan County, and the construction of bridges has become inevitable.
The matter of building bridges requires professional people, and the team is only responsible for superficial work, and it is craftsmen who are really involved in building bridges.
Mainly stone bridges and wooden bridges, hundreds of large and small bridges are planned in one go.
If it weren't for Chen Gong to stop him, Lu Bu would have to come to build a thousand bridges for him, but fortunately, Chen Gong was the first blow to make Lu Bu sober, and now this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people are not living, and it is not appropriate to build a large number of buildings.
On this day, in the south of Jinan County, on the road leading to the mountainous area of Taishan County, Guan Hai led 10,000 people, and the team was stretched for more than ten miles, and many colored flags were planted on the construction site.
Guan Hai only wore a single coat, and worked hard to dig the road with a hoe, digging out the potholes and uneven roads, and digging drainage ditches on both sides of the road.
"Come on, brothers, if you dare to be lazy, don't blame me for not recognizing people."
"The general can rest assured, everyone is still willing to use this bit of strength, but this ground is too hard, and it is all hemp stone ground."
"Overcome difficulties, work hard, and repair the official road."
At this time, Lu Bu and Dian Wei led the troops to inspect, and the process of the road was still okay, but the efficiency was really low and terrible. The work efficiency of tens of thousands of people is not as good as the workload of dozens of excavators.
But everyone also tried their best, and the hoe and shovel were so efficient.
Lu Bu dismounted and walked, arranging for the soldiers as he went: "Pay attention to safety when working, don't shovel your feet." β
"Hahaha." The soldiers laughed.
Lu Bu came over to find Guan Hai, "General Guan, are there any difficulties?" β
Guan Hai said with a smile: "There is no difficulty, there is no difficulty to do, there is a difficulty, if you want to say that the difficulty is this hoe, it is okay to farm and reclaim the land, but this gravel road is really difficult to dig." Can the lord research some kind of machine, wouldn't it be faster to dig the road? β
Lu Bu was speechless for a while, although this is Jinan, there is no excavator here. After all, this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, and the excavator was a dream.
Dian Wei pouted: "Old Guan, it's not me talking about you, it's because your battalion's strength is too small, where do you eat all day long." β
"If you can, you can dig this ground with a hoe."
"Dig and dig."
Dian Wei took the hoe and dug a few times, although the hoe is steel, but the weight is light, there is nothing to say about farming, it is still very difficult to deal with hemp stone.
"It's a little hard to use, this hoe is too weak, if you increase it more and thicken it."
Lu Bu suddenly thought that when the exchange system was upgraded, a new pickaxe appeared in the toolbar, the pickaxe was pointed at both ends, and the weight was heavy, which was most suitable for this kind of hard ground.
"General Guan, there will be a way, a new tool will be launched tomorrow, and everyone will try it when the time comes."
Lu Bu and Dian Wei transferred four construction sites in one day, and the speed of repairing the official road was still okay, mainly because of the large number of manpower, and 80,000 troops were mobilized, plus 60,000 in Tunding.
Considering so much manpower, the restoration of the official road is still going well.
In the evening, Lu Bu exchanged a thousand pickaxes, which were very large and pointed, and were pulled to Guan Hai's camp overnight.
I was tired from working during the day, and I rested early at night, and Guan Hai was leading the team on duty.
