The daughter-in-law glared at Li San: "What kind of chicken to kill, make a chicken coop." Raise the chickens well, have eggs to eat every day, and besides, it is not a luxury for us to be given relief by the government. ”

By the time Lu Bu returned to Jinan, it was already mid-July.

Chen Gong led, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, and Guan Cheng went out of the city for three miles to greet them.

They were greeted by tens of thousands of people, each carrying baskets containing eggs, fruits, and freshly steamed cakes.

"Gongtai, what are you doing, this kind of atmosphere can't rise, delay things, everyone has something to do."

"Don't misunderstand, my lord, this is not my organization, this is the people themselves want to come, I came here to welcome the lord outside the north gate into the city. Who would have thought that twenty or thirty thousand people would come at once, and we had to come to the front. ”

came out of a great Confucian in the city, the master of Jinan City, surnamed Li 70, and had no official position, but the old man was in good health, so he came over and gave a deep salute: "Wenhou is benevolent and righteous, and he can be called my model of the Han Dynasty." When the people are in trouble, it is a matter of course to give money and food. But Wen Hou actually distributed millet, eggs, and hens to the elderly and babies, which is really admirable, far from what ordinary princes can do. ”

Lu Bu got off the horse and gave a salute: "The old gentleman has won the award, and the cloth just did what he had to do." Respecting the elderly is the traditional virtue of our Han dynasty. As for the children, that is the future of Dahan and the tomorrow of Dahan. The old and the old. The young of me, and the young of people. ”

Mr. Li was very excited: "Wen Hou is broad-minded, let me admire, we admire, admire." ”

The people welcomed the people and stuffed eggs and fruits for the soldiers behind Lu Bu.

Even Dian Wei was stuffed with several large melons.

All the way back to the Thorn History Yamen, this can be regarded as quiet.

Lu Bu sat on the chair and drank a cup of hot tea, and sighed: "I can finally rest for a few days." ”

Chen Gong took out a stack of important official documents: "There are a lot of important things, I can't make up my mind, I need the lord to decide." ”

The first one is a headache, Yuan Shao cut off the horse trade between Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan, it turned out that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought, in order to weaken Gongsun Zhan, but also to restrict Lu Bu, now Jizhou does not allow a Youzhou horse to reach Qingzhou.

"This matter is not unexpected, it has long been expected, how is the sea ship in Donglai County built now, is there any news?"

"The shipbuilder from Yangzhou, led dozens of elite craftsmen, and more than 500 local craftsmen, is now building three medium-sized sea ships, about 15 zhang long, for the transport of horses, cattle and sheep cargo ships, upper, middle and lower three floors, can transport about 500 horses at a time, and should be able to deliver the ship by the end of the year."

"It's a bit slow, the traffic on the road is blocked, and now is the time when Qingzhou needs a lot of horses. If we want to realize the animalization of agriculture, we must introduce a large number of horses to realize horse ploughing and mule farming. This Yuan Shao is afraid that he has a convulsion. ”

It turned out that Lu Bu had been deliberately befriending Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao didn't care about Lu Bu's large number of transactions with Gongsun Zhan.

But Yuan Shao has capable people under him, and there are many military generals.

Tian Feng, in particular, found out about the problem and immediately proposed to Yuan Shao: "My lord, now we must immediately block the transaction between Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan." Through the sale of Hu horses, Gongsun Zhan obtained a large amount of money and grain, greatly increased his strength, and even organized more Hu troops. As for Qingzhou, not to mention, light cavalry was formed with low steppe horses, which came and went like the wind. ”

When Yuan Shao heard that this was really the case, Lu Bu was already strong, if there were a large number of cavalry, it would be even worse, so he immediately followed Tian Feng's advice and closed the trade route, except for cattle and horses, the others were transported casually, but as long as there were cattle and horses, they would all be detained.

The caravans in Qingzhou lost thousands of horses, but these were small losses.

After listening to Chen Gong's report, Lu Bu scratched his head: "I think Yuan Shao wants to provoke a war." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, now that the official Mi family has purchased three Lou ships and have sailed to Liaodong, they are trading directly with the Hu people in the north of Youzhou, their ships are large, and the three ships can transport about a thousand horses at a time. Our Qingzhou government-run caravan also bought six medium-sized sea vessels, which can transport six hundred horses at a time. Let's open up the trade routes on the sea, there is no need to have a hard encounter with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is a donkey, it is easier to coax, just send someone to coax. ”

"Also, now I can't fight with Cao Cao, and I can't fight on two fronts, so Yuan Shao has to endure it here."

Chen Gong took out a sketch of a stove and handed it to Lu Bu.

"There is an order transferred by the caravan for me to review, I have not dared to approve it, please take a look."

Lu Bu took it and took a look, the design drawings were very good, a reel iron stove the size of a small iron barrel, which was used to burn cow dung. During the winter, the Hu people put it in the tent to keep warm, and this iron stove weighs more than 30 pounds, and the production process is far more complicated than the iron pot. The exchange ratio is two mares for a cow dung stove.

"Yes, arrange for Limin Iron Works to produce in large quantities, and at the same time let the people of Qingzhou popularize the ondol technology, so that the people can survive the winter safely and reduce unnecessary freezing to death and frostbite."

Chen Gong was worried that Lu Bu didn't see it: "Lord, you are optimistic." This cast-iron stove weighs thirty pounds, and although the exchange ratio is very suitable, Na Badun is a great hero, and I suspect that he asked for so many stoves to build his own weapons. ”

"There is no doubt about it, it is fundamentally. But this is pig iron, and their craftsmen can refine mature iron at best, and what they make is nothing more than scimitars, spears, and broadswords. We don't sell this kind of technical content to him, and there are caravans that secretly sell it to them. Instead of sneaking, it is better to be bright and bright. What's more, since I dare to sell, I have never been afraid. The cavalry of Badun, seeing that our cavalry was not good at all, was defeated in one shot. ”

"Okay, the lord just knows."

In addition, there are two other things, Qingzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall has started, Lu Bu is the principal, Chen Gong is the master of the art of war, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun are the master of marksmanship.

Hua Xiong lectured on swordsmanship, Cao Xing lectured on bows and arrows, and Dian Wei lectured on fists and feet. Students are divided into two campuses.

One is all free, and the trainees are all in the army, announcing all kinds of talents, basic generals, and so on.

The other is a separate campus, called Qingzhou Yanwutang, which is also Lu Bu and other people. However, the students recruited are all children of wealthy families, and they have to pay high tuition, horses, equipment, and so on.

In short, only after paying thousands of dollars can you come here to worship Lu Bu as a teacher and learn martial arts.

After these people come over, it is not just a simple matter of tuition, they want to buy a house, they have to hire people, and so on, and all kinds of expenses are huge, just such a rich businessman's children, Qingzhou Yanwutang recruited hundreds of people, all of them are wealthy families.
