"Lord, Chen Liu is next to Rencheng, it is the big granary of the Central Plains, why don't we take the opportunity to take it."

"Don't consider this for the time being, Chen Liu is an important foundation of Cao Cao, and moving Chen Liu is moving Cao Cao's lifeline, let's wait for the opportunity. In my opinion, Cao Cao and Tao Qian will fight sooner or later, and then our opportunity will come. Xuangao tried to find ways to increase the supply capacity of logistics by using horses, mules, and donkeys to improve the supply capacity of logistics, especially in logistics. ”

Zang Ba nodded and said yes, fighting a war is not just as simple as shouting and killing with a big knife and spear, logistics supply and material support are very complicated.

"There is still a lot of animal power in Taishan County, but it is dominated by cattle and donkeys."

"Chen Gong's strategy is very effective, and now Qingzhou is wantonly collecting displaced people. Whenever a homeless person came, he was given rations, farm tools, wasteland, and foundations for building houses. Now it can accommodate about 20,000 people a month. Xuangao launched a caravan to publicize in the direction of Yanzhou, there are too many wastelands around Jinan County. If the population can increase by hundreds of thousands, wouldn't it be better than taking Chen Liu? ”

"Okay, lord, I'll arrange it when I go back."

Zang Ba went back and arranged, Taishan County has many hills and hills, and there are many mountainous areas, because of this, the harm caused by the Yellow Turban Army is relatively small, and it is relatively easy to develop.

Next to the cast iron pot casting workshop are two huge forging workshops, if the iron pot casting workshop is busy, then it is busy and noisy.

There were exactly two hundred small blacksmith furnaces, some bellows, some beating, tinkling, tinkling, and the sound was tinnitus if one stayed here for a while.

One hundred masters, five hundred apprentices.

Ordinary blacksmiths don't learn any advanced skills, but they build a few agricultural tools.

In the Han Dynasty, iron tools were very expensive, for example, the hoe was an iron tip, and the back was wood. Now that Lu Bu has improved, the entire hoe is made of iron, only the handle is wood, the weight is heavier, the depth of the soil is better, and the land can be planted better.

Hoes, shovels, rakes, axes, hammers, ploughshares, sickles, hooks, shovels, and more. You don't have to learn everything, you just need to learn one, it's better to work in a factory, you don't need to know everything.

Lu Bu looked around and was very satisfied, five hundred apprentices, both men and sturdy women.

Without exception, they are full of passion for learning, most of them are homeless, displaced, have not eaten the last meal, their families have died in the war, and now the Limin Iron Works has given them a warm nest. The apprentice has no salary for three months, and he is in charge of food and housing. After completing their studies, they will be apprenticed for the first year, with 100 wen per month, and from the second year onwards, they will be paid 200 wen per month. According to the level of craftsmanship, the assessment is carried out, if the assessment is up to standard, after three years, the iron factory will be assigned to the house, and the introduction object will be arranged, and you can get married.

Zhang Tiezhu praised Lu Bu's method of teaching, he used to learn blacksmithing, and he couldn't learn it after three years with the teacher.

The main reason is that the master wants a free labor force to pull the bellows, and he doesn't want the apprentice to learn it.

Now the model of Limin Iron Works is just the opposite, not afraid of apprentices wasting coke and pig iron, but can be vigorously made.

A master with five apprentices, three months of assessment, learn a reward master consistent money, if three months five apprentices have successfully passed the assessment, then there will be additional rewards consistent, if you are lucky to bring a few talented apprentices, there will be heavy rewards.

Now these masters are eager to work overtime to teach, and there is no situation where they don't want to teach.

According to the current construction plan, within two years, the Limin Iron Works will have at least 3,000 skilled blacksmiths who can make common agricultural tools, and the excellent blacksmiths of the iron factory will be transferred to the weapons battalion to build weapons and armor.

Dian Wei followed behind Lu Bu, and they were all stunned.

"My lord, this is too spectacular. So many people wheeled the sledgehammer together, and they were all enthusiastic to watch. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "This is the effect of a large number of people, if it is only a few people working, there is no atmosphere, and it is easy to get tired." There are many people, and it is easy to create an atmosphere when working. ”

Zhang Tiezhu came over and reported to Lu Bu: "Lord, I feel that the production is a bit excessive, can I sell it if I make so much?" ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Lord, please think about it, it has just started now, it is an experimental production, 200 pot casters, it will be no problem to produce 1,000 pots a day in the future, it will be 30,000 pots a month, and there will be more farm tools, how can there be tens of thousands of pieces a month, or even hundreds of thousands. How do you sell so many ironware? ”

"Iron pillars don't have to worry, there are caravans now selling to other states. On the other hand, we don't have any farm tools for hundreds of thousands of tunding. The newly recruited homeless people are all family-by-family, and now they are given farm tools that will not be paid until three years later.

The current output is barely enough to maintain, rest assured that the production is more, we will open up other markets. ”

Zhang Tiezhu is a craftsman-type manager, so he has no problem managing production.

But he doesn't know how to sell, he doesn't know how to operate, if such a person does business, after all, he will lose a lot.

From June to the rainy season.

It is also a beautiful day, there was no major flood disaster in the whole summer, the rain was timely, and all kinds of crops and vegetables grew very well.

Throughout the summer, under the auspices of Lü Bu, hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Qingzhou were resettled, and very few people died of starvation.

While training for more than 100,000 troops, they worked hard in their own fields and provided sufficient vegetables and meat for the team.

The epidemic of plague has also disappeared, presenting a scene of national peace and security.

The hot summer has passed, and Yan's, Li's, and Kong's bellies are getting bigger and bigger, but Diao Chan has not moved, and he is getting more and more anxious.

However, the brewery and pickle workshop managed by Diao Chan have developed very quickly, and now they have begun to produce good wine in large quantities.

Diao Chan's popularity is good, dealers from all over the country are willing to come, and orders are scheduled for next year.

Autumn is coming, autumn is coming, and the crops in the fields are growing well.

All kinds of workshops are also progressing smoothly, and Lu Bu's face is happy.

Early this morning, Lu Bu was training soldiers in the barracks and listened to the reports of the battalion commanders.

Chen Gong came in a hurry.

"My lord, something is wrong. Our caravan in Qingzhou was robbed and killed by the Wuhuan people in Youzhou, killing dozens of people and kidnapping dozens of people. The caravan that fled back reported to the official, and the local area did not deal with it. I hope that the lord will write a letter to Gongsun Zhan, and I believe he should be able to help deal with it. ”

"The public station is not in a hurry, let's talk about it in detail."

It turned out that the accident was a caravan run run by the Qingzhou government, this caravan of more than 200 people, 500 horses, transported tea cakes, cloth and all kinds of gadgets to Youzhou, the leader was Chen Tie, Chen Gong's younger brother, and the 200 or so people under his command were all guys from Qingzhou. In the north of Youzhou, there is a small tribe called the Wuhuan leader of Bunda, and I don't know why Chen Tie is not pleasing to the eye, so there is a conflict.
