At the end of July, Hefei began summer harvest and autumn planting, and the city and outside the city were in full swing.

In order to rush to develop the grain stockpile, Long Xiang visited and investigated the farmers at the beginning of the year, and finally set a plan for continuous planting of rice and wheat according to the climate and soil conditions in Huainan.

That is, after the rice is harvested, the fields are immediately turned over and ploughed, composted at intervals of more than a month, and then wheat and corn are sown, and wheat is harvested and rice is planted in the spring of the next year, and the two seasons are cycled back and forth in a year.

In the busy farming season, all the young people in Hefei have been mobilized.

The people who had obtained their identity numbers went outside the city to cut rice and plough the fields, while the new refugees were arranged to build official warehouses inside the city.

Due to the lack of conditions to make cement, brick-to-brick bonding materials, Long Xiang chose to use traditional and simple yellow mud instead.

Because of this year's kiln, only bricks were burned without tiles, and the roof part was replaced by sun-dried grain grass in the season, which is equivalent to a suit and leather shoes with cloth shoes.

Long Xiang is not familiar with farming, but he is professional in civil engineering.

Hefei's official warehouse is involved in all processes, from site selection, drawing design, to digging foundations, laying bricks, and capping.

Long Xiang occasionally went down to demonstrate the construction in person, and the people working next to him were astonished.

The gap between people is so big, Long Sima can lead troops and govern without taking it, and even building bricks and houses is better than the people, and he deserves to be able to divide one side at a young age.

Lu Su followed the visit with great interest, and he was quite shocked to see Long Xiang's proficiency in construction.

During this period of time, Lu Su had a detailed understanding of Long Xiang.

Eighteen-year-old Long Xiang has a simple resume, a cattle herding baby in a soldier's family, after the death of his parents, he was taken care of by Qiaorui, and later inherited the two hundred loyal troops of Longyuan, and fought in the camp for two years, and finally retreated to Hefei bravely.

Long Xiang didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with building a house at all, but he did a good job, even better than the old mason, and Long Xiang's actions were incredible.

Asking is a dream of a god and a man, and Long Xiang's reason has been tried and tested.

Long Xiang not only showed his amazing talent for building houses, but also his ability to control the construction site.

Long Xiang divided more than 1,000 people into more than a dozen groups, responsible for construction, material processing, material transportation, technical supervision, safety supervision and other work according to the group, and the busy construction site was well organized.

Most of the people are unskilled 'small workers', there is no unified standard in the construction process, Long Xiang patrols back and forth on several construction sites, and every time he can find new problems, and many of them are repeated mistakes.

After a few trips, Long Xiang's mouth was dry, and he had a headache when he stood in place.

Seeing this, Lu Su hurriedly handed over the water bag.

Taking advantage of Long Xiang's efforts to drink water, Lu Su whispered and persuaded: "These people are not craftsmen, just be able to build the official warehouse, why do you insist on completely matching the drawings?" It's better to build the warehouse as soon as possible, and the newly harvested rice is still waiting to be put into the warehouse..."

"The warehouse must not be sloppy, we must pay strict attention to the quality of the project, otherwise in the event of strong winds and rains, or even ground movement, the grain stored in the storage will be damaged, and the newly harvested rice needs to be dried, and the time should be abundant." Long Xiang's expression was serious.

Lu Su nodded helplessly: "Yunqi's starting point is good, but Qianshou Li Min is untainable, and it is more difficult to achieve it overnight, unless there is a skilled craftsman..."

Long Xiang was greatly inspired to hear this, and said that he wanted to engage in civil construction in the Three Kingdoms, and indeed needed to train a group of full-time masonry and carpenters, and when the population of Hefei increased in the future, he would carry out a large-scale 'old city transformation', and these people would not worry about having no work to do.

"I plan to train a team of craftsmen, responsible for the repair of Hefei in peacetime, and participate in the defense of the city wall in wartime.

"It's a good idea, and it's better to implement it as soon as possible."

Seeing that Lu Su strongly agreed, Long Xiang solemnly instructed: "I asked Uncle Zhong to set up a craftsman battalion, and asked Zijing to set the standard for the battalion's food, and they have to pay it like a regular soldier.

Lu Su: "No problem, I think we have to set two standards to distinguish between wartime and non-wartime. ”

"The specific situation, Zijing and Uncle Zhong can discuss it."

Long Xiang is not entangled in the salary standard, he believes that Lu Su and Feng Zhong will be careful in their calculations.

After Long Xiang finished speaking, he planned to continue his patrol, but he suddenly remembered the threat from the south, so he called Lu Su again.

"By the way, the summer harvest outside the city is busy right now, is there any movement on Zheng Bao's side?"

"Yunqi rest assured, this season is the harvest season, Zheng Bao's own fields are also busy with summer harvest, there should be no time to wander around other places, and there are ranger scouts outside us..."

"Da Da Da..."

Before Lu Su could finish his words, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves interrupting him.

Long Xiang was also very vigilant and turned to look, only to see the two of them galloping from north to south.

The dust splashed by the horses' hooves slowly fell, creating a salon on the streets of Hefei City.

"There are few horses on the streets of Hefei, could it be that there is a big event in the north?"

Long Xiang frowned and muttered to himself.

Lu Su stroked his beard and didn't speak, and when the two horses were about to approach, he pointed to the leader and reminded:

"Yunqi, it seems to be General Tang."

Long Xiang took two steps forward, only to feel a strong wind in his face, and the shadows of the two horses followed.

"Phew..."

Tang Yu grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted, pointed to the young man behind him and asked excitedly, "Yunqi, who do you think he is?" ”

"I'm a little impressed, but not much..."

Looking at the not-so-outstanding face of the visitor, Long Xiang raised his eyes and shook his head gently.

Tang Yu scratched his head and reminded Long Xiang with a smile: "Last year, we strayed into Qian County and went to the cowshed at night to deliver food to those children, he was one of them named Xu Wei, and Leader Xu asked him to come to find us." ”

"The people of Bo'an (Xu Ding)?"

Long Xiang was taken aback: "Could it be that Cao Bing is looking for trouble?" What is happening to Bo'an and Xucun now? ”

Xu Wei clasped his fists and replied: "The big leader and the village are all right, you left the village not long ago, and there was indeed a team of Cao soldiers who came, but they didn't trouble the village, but came to recruit us..."

"Then you—" Long Xiang stopped talking.

Xu Wei shook his head lightly: "Although the second leader was interested at the time, he was rejected by the big leader, and the big leader was worried that you would not get to the place smoothly, so he sent me south to confirm." ”

Long Xiang frowned after hearing this, Xu Chu wanted to vote but Xu Ding didn't agree?

I don't know if Cao Cao will invite Corporal Lixian, but Xu Ding sent people all the way to find him, not only to confirm his own safety, but also to find a way back for himself?

If the Xu brothers can come, Long Xiang has the intelligence to take on Lu Su, and he also has the force to take on Xu Chu, what thief is Zheng Bao worried about?

"Thank you Bo'an for your concern, everything is fine with us, Xu Zhuangshi has come from thousands of miles away, and he must fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Long Xiang clenched his fists for a while and said politely, and then instructed Tang Yu: "Uncle Yu, you take Xu Zhuangshi to take a good walk around the city, and prepare a good meal to entertain guests at night." ”

"Okay, I'll take him to Lao Feng's house and let my younger siblings cook something delicious." Tang Yu smiled.

Xu Wei hurriedly excused himself: "General don't bother, since you are all safe and healthy, I should return to Qian County as soon as possible." ”
