The other tunding in Taishan County were handed over to Lu Bu for unified management, and Lu Bu wanted to implement the Mintun, as for the 20,000 soldiers in Zang Ba's headquarters, they didn't understand the establishment, and Zang Ba was willing to let them plant a little land, and if they didn't want to plant, they wouldn't plant, as long as the training kept up. Laiwu's iron ore must be kept for the Zang Ba family.

The rest of the iron mountains had to be handed over to Lu Bu to take care of them all, and Zang Ba didn't grind, so they all agreed.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and immediately said that he would provide cloth shoes, rice jars, shields, spears, guns and other weapons for Zang Ba's 20,000 army.

Zang Ba is really convinced, there is also a portrait of Lu Bu on the rice jar provided by Lu Bu, don't look at this thing inconspicuously, the soldiers at the bottom know who their leader is.

"Xuan Gao rest assured, in one to two years, I will build your 20,000 elite soldiers into a tiger and wolf army, and the weapons, money and food are not bad."

"Thank you, my lord, I have food at home, as long as I have weapons."

Zang Ba is magnificent, his family is a big family, the population is large, and there is a lot of money and food, mainly because they are the beneficiaries of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and have obtained a lot of fertile land, so they are not bad for money and food.

"Haha, that's great."

Zang Ba is very good, please Lu Bu, Li Su, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and others to eat roast chicken.

"This is a good thing, there are a lot of chickens raised here in Xuangao?"

"I'll take my husband to see our chicken farm in a while."

After the meal, Zang Ba and Sun Guan led Lu Bu and Dian Wei out of Laiwu City and came to a mountain range in the south of the city, where there was a lot of wild grass, and there was nothing at first glance.

I saw a man leading a donkey over, and there were two bags of grain on the donkey's back. ”

Suddenly, countless chickens on the mountain ran over, hens, roosters, thousands of horses, not spectacular.

There are about three or four thousand of them, which is very powerful.

"Xuan Gao, how can you raise so many chickens on such a large scale? It's not easy to raise. ”

Zang Ba nodded: "It takes a lot of effort for ordinary people to raise dozens of them at home, this man is a homeless person rescued by Sun Guan, called Liu Dawu, who said that he could raise chickens, Sun Guan let him raise hundreds, and he didn't care, who knew that this man would hatch on the soil kang, and a few hundred would become thousands." ”

Originally, Zang Ba didn't pay much attention to raising chickens, thinking that at most he would eat an egg and stew a chicken soup. Unexpectedly, one spring, the locusts in the wheat field broke through the soil, and the people's faces turned green with fright.

The people were stupid, and they did not dare to fight or arrest. At this time, Liu Dawu's chickens showed their power.

The chickens swept through the wheat fields, and the locusts were cleared. 10,000 chickens, clearing thousands of acres in a day, does not give the locusts any room to breathe.

After controlling the locusts, Zang Ba paid more attention to raising chickens, and arranged for Liu Dawu to bring dozens of apprentices and raise dozens of chickens.

However, Liu Dawu taught everything else, but he did not teach the ondol incubation technology.

"Dawu, this chicken grazing is very good, my hundreds of thousands of soldiers can't eat eggs. Would it be good to teach me the skills in the army? ”

Liu Dawu looked at Zang Ba, and Zang Ba nodded: "This is Wen Hou, my lord." ”

"It's okay to teach chickens, but I don't teach them to hatch on the soil kang."

"You don't have to worry about this, you don't need to teach incubation techniques, you just arrange incubation. But I want to build dozens of chicken farms and raise more than a million chickens in two years. ”

Liu Dawu was taken aback: "It's not difficult to wait for the warmth, there are so many of them, the apprentices I bring will treat some chicken diseases, but chickens are too easy to get sick, in case of chicken plague, you can't blame the villain for not doing his best." ”

Lu Bu found that this Liu Dawu was too smart, he didn't brag, he didn't exaggerate, he said anything in advance, and it would be easy to deal with something when the time came.

"Dawu is right, the family has a lot of money, the hairy ones don't count, and the chickens are the easiest to lose. But the chickens are still very effective in controlling locusts. Eggs, chicken, and even chicken feathers are very useful. If the people can eat an egg every day, what a happy thing, but unfortunately eggs are too expensive now, and ordinary people eat an egg just like the New Year. ”

Liu Dawu was still very surprised by Lu Bu's words, but he didn't expect a thorn to know so much.

Lu Bu took out a small gold bar of five taels from Dian Wei's backpack and came out: "Work hard, a good life is born of struggle." ”

Liu Dawu was not too excited with the gold bar, and looked at Lu Bu thoughtfully.

Lu Bu arranged for Zang Ba: "This Dawu is a talent, and the daughter-in-law of the house will be arranged, and in a few days I will send all the people who want to learn to learn from Dawu to raise chickens." ”

Zang Ba nodded: "Don't worry, the lord has already had a house in Dawu, but he lives in a chicken farm all year round, and his daughter-in-law is easy to find, but it is difficult to find what he likes." ”

Dawu pointed to the barren mountains and mountains everywhere: "Lord Thorn Shi, General Tibet." You see, now the farmland is scarce, the wilderness is the majority, and we have abundant precipitation here, and the weeds grow very luxuriantly. If you can breed more and turn wild grass into meat, you will not starve at all, and eating meat will not be a problem. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "It is very important to breed large livestock, and I have been doing it, but I haven't seen the results yet." Why don't you raise some sheep? ”

Liu Dawu shook his head again and again: "If you specialize in the art industry, the villain will raise chickens, cultivate excellent chicken breeds, lay more eggs, and grow more meat." However, I have a few small requests here, and I hope that Lord Thorn can help. ”

"Oh, what's the matter."

"Qingzhou is close to the sea, I hope the adults can provide some and provide some fishmeal."

"Fishmeal?"

Liu Dawu was afraid that Lu Bu would not understand, so he explained in detail: "It is to catch worthless sea fish, dry them, and then powder them."

Although it is troublesome, fishmeal is extremely nutritious and is a very good feed. With fishmeal, chickens grow faster, produce more eggs, and are more resistant to disease. ”

Lu Bu looked at a few chicken farms and found that this Liu Dawu seemed to be still breeding.

There are reed chicken, white-eared yellow chicken, and black-bone chicken.

These three types of chickens are very suitable for grazing and are small in stature, but sturdy.

Liu Dawu's methods of treating chicken diseases are also varied, mainly herbal medicine, and there are also rare methods such as acupuncture.

Lu Bu couldn't help but praise, this person is indeed a talent, with his skills, it is not difficult for Qingzhou to eat eggs.

Zang Ba's iron mine, Zang Ba happily introduced to Lu Bu: "Lord, please see, this iron mountain has a thousand miners, a hundred blacksmiths, and can produce more than 500 catties of iron a day, and all kinds of commonly used farm tools and weapons can be satisfied." ”

Lu Bu looked at the iron-making process, it was too primitive, although coal was used as fuel, but it used a low earthen stove and a manpower bellow, everything was very backward.

"Xuangao's iron ore needs to be improved."

Zang Ba's face was clouded: "Improvement, I feel very good." You can build hundreds of farm tools every day. ”
