Kong Rong burped: "Wenhou, locusts are insects from heaven, which are specially designed to punish the world, and they need the Son of Heaven to cultivate virtue." ”

Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "I was about to save the Son of Heaven from danger, but who knew that the Son of Heaven was in Qingzhou and had to come back." When the next time Ben will save the Son of Heaven and come back, he will definitely let the Son of Heaven bathe and change his clothes, and follow the heavens to ask for sin. ”

"That's right, relying on manpower to fight locusts, then it's the Year of the Monkey."

Lu Bu brought over a plate of fried grasshoppers.

"Kong Taishou, let's have a drink together, this is a good dish."

Kong Rong saw that it was a locust, and waved his hand again and again in fright: "Don't you dare to eat, don't dare to eat." ”

"Taishou knows what the ancestor Confucius Sage said about revenge?"

"This also needs to be said, to repay virtue with virtue, and to repay grievances with straightforwardness. The ancestor was a man of temperament, and he always looked down on life and death, and he did it if he didn't accept it. ”

"Is that right, this little worm, eat our crops and starve our people, and eat its flesh, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of poison."

Lu Bu didn't use chopsticks, he grabbed it with his hands and put it in his mouth, crunchy, chicken-flavored.

Eat a few grasshoppers and take a sip of wine, don't be too refreshing.

Kong Rong ate a few grasshoppers with the audacity: "It's really delicious, it's good, it's good." ”

After talking about business, let's talk about family affairs.

Lu Bu took a pair of kerosene portable lamps from the guards behind him, and the glass lampshade was very transparent.

"Father-in-law, this is a pair of good babies for you called glass lamps, which only need to be lit at night, and you can read and write clearly."

"Haha, good, thank you very much. But I don't see what it does, does it? ”

"Let's go to a dark room and light it."

Kong Rong's house is really big, and there is a big house with no windows in the backyard.

In the middle of the day, Lu Bu took out a lighter, clicked it, and lit the kerosene portable lamp, the fire was very bright, much brighter than a candle, and it was not a problem to read and write.

Kong Rong was overjoyed: "It's really easy to use, it's a good baby at first glance." This glass cover is so bright, like it doesn't have it. ”

Although Kong Rong did not agree with Chen Gong's order to exterminate locusts, he still carried it out, and the control of locusts in Beihai County was remarkable.

Lu Bu did not stay here in Kong Rong for a long time, and went out of the city to Wei Xu's camp outside the city.

There are 5,000 infantry of Wei Xu and 50,000 tunding, all of which are Yellow Turban troops from Donglai County.

Lü Bu fulfilled the conditions of the negotiations, and settled these surrendered Yellow Turban Army into Tunding, where they worked for three years, and could rearrange the land and form a village.

The reclamation is close to 500,000 acres, and it is busy, and the soldiers are vigorously stepping on the waterwheel and watering the wheat.

Every short distance is built with a tunding camp, surrounded by pig houses, and there are thousands of pigs in each pen.

The piglets ran back and forth on the field, happily eating their food.

There are thousands of talents in the world, and half of them are in Tunding.

The farm is located on the periphery of the farmland, and the piglets raised here have been castrated, and the veterinarians in the tunding have undergone the operation.

When the farm is not working, Tunding learns their own skills, and some of them know how to do it themselves.

There are carpenters' shops, blacksmiths' shops, veterinarians, and horse's hooves.

When the tunding got off work, they had to bring some grass. The piglets feed on grass and grain scraps every day.

Tunding raised pigs and sheep for fertilizer and meat. Chickens and ducks were raised to exterminate locusts, and cows, horses, and donkeys were raised to cultivate land.

They practice semi-military management, and they have to conduct training for five days every month except during the busy farming season, and for half a month during the slack season.

Lu Bu came over and admired that Wei Xu was still doing a very good job.

"Lord, why are you here?" Wei Xu led the team to train and happened to see Lu Bu.

"Well, Ben is coming to help you extinguish the locusts, how about it, are you in trouble?"

"There is no difficulty, it is almost gone. The soldiers and tunding worked day and night, and finally suppressed the locusts. In order to avoid the risk of locusts, we also have a lot of fish here. ”

"Oh, you're so capable."

Wei Xu took Lu Bu to a fish pond near Daying, covering an area of several hundred acres.

"It was originally a low-lying area, and it was a pond in the summer, and you couldn't plant trees or crops. So let the tunding dig it, attract the river water, and become a fish pond, which has a lot of fish, and it should be able to collect tens of thousands of catties in the autumn. ”

Lu Bu looked at it, and there were all kinds of fish in it.

Carp, white lotus, grass carp, crucian carp, bighead fish, etc.

There are a lot of fish swimming around in the water, but most of them are thin and do not look fertile.

"With such a big fish pond, you need to keep it slowly. Feed some grass appropriately every day, and occasionally use some cow dung on the water's edge to make the water fertile, so that silver carp and bighead fish can eat. If it is raised, it is no problem to have hundreds of thousands of catties a year, catch it before freezing, and distribute it to the team and Tunding to eat when the time comes. ”

"Good lord, all the systems have been decided. In the next few years, at least 500,000 pigs and 30,000 sheep will be slaughtered every year, and there will be no need to worry about starvation. With accumulation, you will not be frightened when you encounter a locust plague. ”

After turning around, the cultivation here is still very simple. Now it's wheat, and after the wheat is harvested, soybeans, sorghum, and millet. There are only a very small number of rice fields and vegetable fields.

Fruits are barely visible, and brokerage crops are even less visible.

"Don't just grow food, add some vegetables appropriately, plant some fruits from the side of the mountain, apricots, red peaches, pears, etc., I remember that there should be pear trees in Beihai."

"Yes, there are many pear orchards in Beihai, and Kong Taishou's family alone has hundreds of acres, and tens of thousands of catties of pears were sent last autumn. Although Kong Taishou is a little old-fashioned, he has nothing to say about his life. ”

"With a scale of nearly 60,000 people, fruit is also a problem. Let's plant more mulberry trees in the summer, and it will be useful later. ”

Lu Bu came here this time not only to inspect and exterminate locusts, but also to urge Wei Xu to establish an arrow shaft workshop.

Since the Qingzhou Army adopted bilateral metal stirrups, Takahashi saddles, and horseshoes, mounted archery has become more and more popular, and Pegasus riding and archery has become the mainstream of cavalry.

As a result, the demand for feather arrows became very huge, and in the manual era, the production of arrow shafts was a very troublesome thing.

Lu Bu took precautions, and the purpose of coming here this time was to set up an arrow shaft workshop in the Beihai garrison.

Qingzhou pursues the practice of strong backbones and weak branches and leaves, and the skilled craftsmen in Tunding have been transferred to Jinan County, in workshops such as the Ordnance Battalion and the Limin Iron Factory.

However, in China, the most important thing is talent, and it is more than enough to select thousands of craftsmen out of tens of thousands of people.
