Most of the big gentry and wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou were wiped out in the wave of the Yellow Turban Army, and these were the contributions of Guan Hai and others.

Otherwise, even if Lu Bu is brave, he will not be able to show it when he comes to Qingzhou.

Now that it's okay, the existing big families are all big ones, and Lu Bu didn't think much about it, and ordered Qingzhou to strictly investigate the serious illegal acts of all kinds of wealthy businessmen and big families.

The county guards in various places really like this kind of action, after all, once there is a rich family in this situation, it is very serious, and the head must be moved, and the family's money and land are confiscated into the official.

Of course, there is still pressure, not to mention anything else, Chen Gong is the representative of the big household, and many of the officials below are also representatives of the big household, they do not advocate the expansion of action, they can only talk about the matter.

Originally, Qingzhou had already been rebuilt after the war, and it was impossible to rectify it on a large scale, and Lu Bu could only stop in moderation and appropriately improve the status of ordinary people.

Later, some people summarized Lu Bu's pioneering efforts at that time, first, to strip off the personal relationship between the big family and the servant. The subordinates of large families are in an employment relationship, and the subordinates can only report to the official for handling violations of the law, and kill the subordinates without permission and be punished as homicide. As a result, the private soldiers of large families are no longer as iron-clad as they used to be.

Second, in the year of the poor harvest, the tenant has the right not to pay the rent.

Third, the commercial tax should be reduced, and business and breeding should be encouraged.

Just when Lu Bu fell and the Qingzhou Army vigorously repaired the road, the government was not idle.

Chen Gong is organizing large households in Jinan County to promote the cultivation of rice, in this era Jinan County water network is dense, the water is very abundant, the land of large households is very good, just on the edge of the river, so it is very suitable for planting rice.

Rice yields are much higher than wheat and sorghum. Moreover, the price of rice produced by rice is more expensive than that of wheat and sorghum.

Old farmers from the south have already begun to cultivate seedlings.

Of course, the conversion of dry land into paddy fields is also a big investment, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

This is why large households plant first, because small households cannot afford to plant.

The fertile and good land in the north of the city is now home to a large number of large households.

Chen Gong led all the officials of the Assassin's Mansion to come, and each family sent representatives to learn the transformation method of the rice field.

Chen Gong introduced to everyone: "After wheat, why don't you plant sorghum and rice. Because the yield of sorghum per mu is only five or six hundred catties, but the yield of rice per mu is more than one thousand catties. Not only that, but there are also by-products such as fish and shrimp in the rice fields. Rice is made of rice, and the price is three times that of sorghum rice. ”

Some big farmers are not at ease: "If this is planted with rice, can wheat still be planted in this field?" ”

"Farmers in the south have always planted wheat or rape. Rape can be squeezed for oil, and stir-fried vegetables are delicious. The land for the promotion of rice is limited to the land that is easy to irrigate, and more land will not be converted into rice fields. ”

"Okay, don't say it, just do it."

Large families do not invest in ink, and Chen Gong has done some ideological work and promoted about 100,000 acres of rice fields.

Closely related to grain is the breeding of pigs, and the government advocates vigorous pig raising, and every household raises pigs. Some large families even changed their back garden into a pig farm, and the main purpose of raising pigs is fertilizer, with fertilizer can better farming.

Liu Er is a common man in Liujiagou, southwest of Jinan City.

Liujiagou is located in the mountain nest, the road out of the mountain has to be more than ten miles, and it is precisely because of the remote place to avoid countless times of the Yellow Turban Army rebellion, now Lu Bu is in charge of Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban is gone, and the people in the mountains have also settled.

Early in the morning, the pavilion grew, followed by hundreds of horses, carrying green mulberry seedlings with intact root systems.

"Folks, this is a free mulberry seedling issued by the government. Everyone lined up to receive mulberry seedlings. ”

The villagers were a little scared, because it was the cavalry who transported the mulberry saplings, and it was the first time they had seen such a big war horse, and they didn't know if this behemoth would eat people.

Most of the farmers who applied for mulberry planting had experience in raising silkworms, and some asked for 300 and some asked for 500.

Liu Erjia received 500 mulberry seedlings, and they were so happy that they immediately took them back to plant trees.

The price of silk is very expensive, it is a precious cloth, so many people are very fond of planting mulberry trees.

In the evening, there was another big move in the village, and the government wanted to train blacksmiths for free to learn to make iron.

Ironsmithing is hard work, but also in the countryside, if you know how to be a blacksmith, you will basically not starve to death. Hoes, shovels, and even kitchen knives need to be crafted and repaired by blacksmiths.

Liu Er went home to discuss with his daughter-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law, you usually always scold me for being unproductive, and my family is poor. Mulberry trees were planted, but I couldn't raise silkworms in large quantities for a year or two, so I wanted to learn how to strike iron. ”

The daughter-in-law glanced at Liu Er, "You can't do it with this strength, can you learn to strike iron?" ”

", how can you not learn, you actually look down on me."

Liu Er shouted a few words with his daughter-in-law and secretly ran to sign up, and followed the team to Jinan County the next day.

The changes outside the mountain are really big, the road is wider, and there are soldiers wearing iron armor at the traffic crossings.

The camp in the west of the city is endless, and it must be a camp of tens of thousands of people.

When Liu Er was confused, he was selected by a small supervisor.

"You, do you know how to strike iron?"

"No, it won't."

"Do you know how to carpenter?"

"No, it won't."

"Okay, it's you, come with me."

Liu Er was puzzled, why he couldn't do anything by himself.

Later, I learned that this was Ma Jun of the Second Ordnance Battalion, regardless of his age, his power was not small, his position was higher than that of many generals, and he was Lu Bu's favorite craftsman.

After entering the camp, Liu Er found that his job was very simple, just a process with a hammer, as for what it was done and what it was for, he didn't know at all.

The steward's introduction: "This is a temporary worker, it is the obligation of every person to contribute to the Han Dynasty, of course, Lord Assassin Shi will not treat you badly, three meals a day, one hundred and fifty yuan per month." ”

Liu Er was a little anxious, he was here to learn blacksmithing.

"Don't worry, if you can work for three years, you can learn not only blacksmithing, but also carpentering. If there is a meritorious performance, it is possible to pay homage to the marquis. ”

"Can you go home every year?"

"Yes, as long as you don't fight, you have five days off every month, and if you fight, it's hard to say."

Liu Er and other novice craftsmen entered the Second Ordnance Battalion in a daze, responsible for the production of hand-held repeaters.

This is a miniature repeater jointly researched by Ma Jun and Lu Bu, and the crossbow arrows shot are only about 20 centimeters long.

When fighting, it is too fast to shoot arrows with both hands and fight at close range, and it is too fast to deal with enemies without iron armor.

In the horse farm, Liu Mu has been happy and tired these days.
