After Lu Bu heard what the two said, he nodded and said nothing, but frowned.

Cheng Lian was still complaining, "Even if we recruit people and train them, these guys have never been on the battlefield. They might be frightened and run away when they see the enemy. That would be even worse!"

Zhang Liao waved his hand, "Lao Cheng, these are all trivial matters. In the mountains northeast of Xiaopei, I heard that there are many bandits. When the time comes, I will take everyone to suppress the bandits. On the one hand, we will gain something, and on the other hand, we will definitely gain something."

We can train troops now."

Lu Bu listened to the two chattering and checked the affairs of the camp. He walked around in a circle and frowned more and more!

Due to a victory in the battle, the morale of the soldiers was not bad, but the losses had been too heavy and both equipment and weapons were lacking.

Lu Bu's army failed in Yanzhou, lost the support of the local aristocratic families, and had no stable territory. In terms of food and materials, there was almost no other way to make money except robbing. You can imagine how miserable the soldiers were.

Not many soldiers wear armor, even among the elite. Leather armor is not even popular, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Looking at the leather armors worn by these soldiers, some of which had torn a few holes and were simply sewn with grass leaves and then put on again, Lu Bu felt that it was imperative for everyone to change their clothes.

However, changing everyone's costumes, even in an adventure world, would cost a lot of money. How long would it take to kill the demon wolf with Lu Bu alone?

In addition to changing clothes, there are also weapons. Many people's weapons are so broken that even Lu Bu can't stand it.

He saw a big knife held by a soldier with a big hole in the middle, but since he had no other weapons, he could only continue to use it.

There are also long guns. The iron heads are gone, and only the barrel is left, with the front sharpened.

Lu Bu didn't notice this before, but now that he did, he realized just how poor his army was.

Weapons are not in supply, equipment is not in supply, and we don’t even have enough food to eat. How can we have combat effectiveness?

No, we must change our equipment and add more weapons. Otherwise, how can we defeat Cao Mengde with such a team?

The most important thing is that there is no source of troops, so the recruitment of refugees must be carried out as soon as possible!

Lu Bu returned to his mansion full of worries. He suddenly found that dealing with these things was even more difficult than fighting.

When recruiting refugees back, we must not only feed them, but also provide them with clothes and a place to live.

Lu Bu's heart moved when he thought of where he lived, and he hurriedly thought to himself.

"Open the mall."

As Lu Bu finished speaking, the interface of the mall appeared in front of him.

Lu Bu's eyes searched carefully in the interface, and finally found what he was looking for.

On this page, there are materials for building houses.

Steel bars, cement, hollow bricks….

These are the best materials for building houses, but in terms of price, Lu Bu cannot afford them now.

Although Lu Bu has a bad temper, he appears to be extremely patient in the mall.

His eyes looked at the products one by one, and then checked the attributes, and finally, his eyes stopped on the same product.

Red brick!

Lu Bu looked at the size and realized that if he wanted to build a house, he would need a lot of red bricks.

Although the price of red bricks is not expensive, it is still difficult for Lu Bu to accept that the quantity cannot be used.

What he is looking at now is the column next to the red brick. Inside is a book with the name on it.

How to make red bricks.

Although it was just a book, Lu Bu hesitated.

Because the price of this book actually reached 50,000 points.

This price is indeed a bit expensive for Lu Bu now.

However, when he saw the sample house built with red bricks, he no longer hesitated and almost roared in his heart.

"How to make red bricks by redeeming them!"

"Fifty thousand points have been deducted and the redemption is completed."

As the system finished speaking, a book on how to make red bricks appeared in Lu Bu's space.

Lu Bu opened the book and read it carefully.

Bricks are made of clay….

Lu Bu looked at it briefly, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

The method of making red bricks is very simple, but what is the coal mentioned here?

Red bricks are shaped from clay and then fired.

Making brick kilns is explained in detail in the book, so it should be no problem. The main question is, when burning bricks, do you need to use coal?

Lu Bu thought for a while and looked at the product column again, looking for coal.

After a long time, coal was finally found. Lu Bu did not hesitate and exchanged it for one piece.

"Exchange completed."

Lu Bu immediately took out a piece of coal, placed it on the table, and examined it carefully.

There's no special smell, it's just a black stone, it doesn't look like it can burn!

Just when Lu Bu was confused and hesitant, Zhang Hu's voice came from outside the door.

"Marquis Wen, Mr. Meng Zhuo is here."

"Let him in."

Soon, Zhang Miao, who looked a little haggard, walked in from the door.

"I've met Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu waved his hand hurriedly, "Meng Zhuo, sit down and talk."

Zhang Miao was indeed a little tired. He knelt down in front of Lu Bu, raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, I have taken a look around Xiaopei. The number of refugees is about six to seven thousand."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Zhang Miao's haggard face, "Although there are not many people, fortunately among these six or seven thousand people, there are not many old and weak, most of them are young and strong, even women.

As long as we recruit people with excellent physiques, I believe they will recover in a short time."

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, let them come to Xiaopei as soon as possible."

Zhang Miao nodded and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, how is the situation over at Gongtai?"

Lu Bu said with a smile, "There are too many things to do here at Gongtai, I'm afraid they haven't been completed yet."

Zhang Miao frowned and said, "Marquis Wen, if these refugees are recruited, where should they be placed?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu also frowned.

Zhang Miao tentatively said, "With so many people, I'm afraid we can't accommodate them in the city. It's better to choose a place outside the city. The closer it is to the land, the better. It will also be convenient for cultivating the land."

Lu Bu nodded, "Meng Zhuo, you go back and have a rest first. In the afternoon, call everyone together to discuss how to resettle these refugees."

Zhang Miao cupped his hands and said, "That's fine."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Miao was about to stand up when he suddenly saw the coal Lu Bu put on the table. He was startled and asked tentatively.

"Marquis Wen, what is this? How come you have this?"
Chapter completed!
