After tidying up his clothes, Zhuge Jin came to the door and saw that there was a tall man with a double halberd on his back, and a man of medium stature.

"Dare to ask, but Wen Hou?"

"It's Lu Bu, but Brother Ziyu?"

Zhuge Jin didn't expect Lu Bu to call him his brother, this title is quite kind.

"Wen Hou, please."

"I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts, two deer legs, and I gave Ziyu a tooth sacrifice."

"Wen Hou is polite, please."

Zhuge Jin was honest, and seeing that Lu Bu was so polite, he hurriedly invited Lu Bu into the house.

At present, the family is arranged to kill chickens and cook, and there is no mention of it.

In the living room, Lu Bu and Zhuge Jin sat opposite each other.

"Ziyu, you have also heard of my Qingzhou's governance, how do you feel?"

"Wen Hou is benevolent and loves the people, unparalleled in the world. The policy implemented was moderate, and it was quite the style of the management of the middle in the past. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't listen to you for running so far away, you can talk about the disadvantages." ”

Zhuge Jin nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk about it." The promotion of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock breeding has widened the gap between the rich and the poor. For example, I don't have land at home, and I want to get a few pigs on credit, but I can't do it. If you want to raise cattle and horses, it is even more difficult. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "What Ziyu said is that there will definitely be a gap between the rich and the poor, but development is the last word." As for those who have no land and no land, they are not ignored, and they can be arranged to enter the workshop and work to make money. ”

Zhuge Jin suddenly realized that the army needs a large number of soldiers, the workshop needs a large number of craftsmen, and there must be sufficient and cheap labor.

Lu Bu continued: "Now Qingzhou's first task is to realize animal power and manual mechanization within five years. In short, it means that oxen, donkeys, horses, and mules should be used to replace manpower in cultivated land and carts, and the ratio of large livestock to population should reach 10 to 1. That is, ten people, and there must be a big animal. Among them, mules and horses are the focus of development. Food production is now increasing at a rate of 30 per cent per year. ”

Zhuge Jin frowned: "Why is the grain production increasing so violently?" It seems that the advanced farming culture still has great advantages. ”

"Farming culture is only a part that needs to be carried forward, what we need more is an iron civilization."

"Iron civilization?"

"Yes." Lu Bu waved his hand and asked Dian Wei at the door to unload a few steel tools from his horse, including a steel axe for chopping wood, a steel shovel, and a heavy pickaxe.

Zhuge Jin is knowledgeable, and he will recognize it when he takes it and sees it.

"These are all tools of fine iron, if this kind of agricultural tools are popularized, instead of bronze agricultural tools, pig iron agricultural tools, grain production year after year is not a problem at all."

"Only a small part of these fine iron tools can now only be supplied to the army. The ordinary goods produced by the Limin Iron Works can only be regarded as good iron, and with the popularization of iron agricultural tools, it will become inevitable to increase grain production. ”

Zhuge Jin touched the shovel and suddenly realized: "The iron armor worn by ordinary soldiers in the Wenhou army is made of this material. ”

"Haha, Ziyu has good eyesight. Now it has 15,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and the rate of 6,000 sets per month is increasing rapidly. ”

Zhuge Jin understood why Xiao Jian surrendered as soon as Lu Bu's army arrived and did not fight, just because of the oppression of the ironclad army, ordinary people couldn't stand it.

The Langya army doesn't even have much leather armor, how can they fight when they encounter ironclad soldiers, not to mention that the other party is still the world's elite soldiers led by Lu Bu.

"The biggest problem in the reconstruction of Qingzhou's scorched earth is not money and grain, not houses, and not farm tools. It is the spirit, and the people must have the spirit of fighting the heavens and the earth. The officials should be strong and soft, treat the people well, and hope that Ziyu can go out of the mountain to help me, for the sake of the world and the people. Lu Bu said and gave a deep salute.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly returned the salute: "Wen Hou is too modest, I am a poor and humble Confucian, and I can't help much." ”

"Ziyu is a peerless warrior, and he needs you, a cold Confucian with the people in his heart."

Zhuge Jin looked at it, and then he was hypocritical.

"Ziyu is willing to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses."

"For me, but also for the people."

Lu Bu and Zhuge Jin had a good conversation, and the chicken in the kitchen was stewed at this time.

Zhuge Jin's younger brother, Zhuge Liang is a standard post-80s, born in 181, and is only thirteen years old this year. Xiao Zhuge Liang came over from the backyard.

The child was white and pure, and when he saw Dian Wei carrying a halberd, he went over to tease him.

"Big man, were you invited by my brother to fight tigers?"

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, he hadn't petted a cat for a long time, but this kid looked like a ghost and a ghost, and his speech was unreliable.

"Your brother is talking about things, don't eavesdrop."

Zhuge Liang was naughty, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Big brother, the chicken is stewed, you can invite guests to dinner." ”

In the house, Lu Bu asked, "Ziyu, is this your brother asking us to eat?" ”

"Yes, this is my second brother, Zhuge Liang, the small character Kong Ming."

"Oh, I've heard that Brother Ling is very smart, why don't you call me to see him."

Zhuge Jin came out and called Zhuge Liang in, the child was not big, but when he saw the outsiders, he was not restrained at all, and bowed down: "I've seen Wen Hou." ”

"Kong Ming, you don't do your homework, why do you come to the front yard to play?"

"As the old saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is better to read countless people than to read thousands of miles. I had heard that Wen Hou was brave, so I came to take a look. ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Isn't it a big disappointment, I, Lu Bu, don't have three heads and six arms, it's nothing more than a big guy." ”

Zhuge Liang was silent, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

The first time we met, we always had to send something, Lu Bu took it out of his pocket and took out a single-way telescope.

"Kong Ming, the first time we met, let's make a toy for you with this clairglass, remember not to look at the sun, it will stab your eyes."

Zhuge Liang took it and came to the door to watch according to the method Lu Bu said, and was surprised, it was really strange that something in the distance was in front of him.

Zhuge Jin asked the family to bring up the wine and food, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Cao Xing, and everyone ate together.

Zhuge Jin didn't drink much, and Lu Bu and the others drank at noon, and they didn't drink much.

After eating, come up with good tea.

Zhuge Jin solemnly reminded: "Lord, the Hu people on the grassland are wolf ambitions, since ancient times, Hu and Han have not been separated, and it is very dangerous to sell iron pots, iron stoves, and iron kitchen knives to them. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "Since ancient times, he was born in sorrow and died in peace. If you don't have an opponent, you lose your motivation. What's more, what is sold to them is pig iron, which requires their blacksmiths to work hard. In addition, our Qingzhou army has overcome the problem of damage to horses on long-distance marches and the problem of flying horses riding and shooting. ”

Zhuge Jin put the teacup down: "During the period of Emperor Wu, when he went out to fight against the Xiongnu, tens of thousands of war horses often went out and thousands came back, of course, some of them were due to injuries such as knives and arrows, but most of them died because of broken hooves. The Lord really solved this problem. ”
