"It's done, the land is clear between the two parties, and we don't owe each other anything."

Gao Shun glanced at the handprints cut on the ground and waved to the soldiers behind him, "Let's go."

By the time Chen Jiang recovered from the shock, Gao Shun and others had already walked away.

Chen Jiang looked at the large area of ​​depression in front of him, thought of the fertile land that he had finally obtained, and thought of the land deed that had been fingerprinted, and he immediately collapsed on the ground helplessly.

When the housekeeper saw Gao Shun and others leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Jiang, tears streaming down his face, "Master, they robbed our land and got these shabby places in exchange!"

Snap!

Chen Jiang remembered that he had been held up by soldiers just now, but no one came forward to stop him. He suddenly became angry and slapped the butler in the mouth with a wave of his hand.

"Trash, what did you do just now?"

The butler was slapped in the mouth, and more tears flowed from his face, "Master, it doesn't matter if you hit me, don't get so angry that you make us feel bad!"

Chen Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "No, I will never eat this money-losing man.

Come on, let’s go find Lu Bu now to ask for an explanation.”

Chen Jiang and others returned to the city again and came to the gate of Lu Mansion, but unfortunately, they were stopped by the soldiers in front of the gate.

"No one is allowed to enter without Marquis Wen's order, otherwise he will be shot without mercy!"

The housekeeper hurriedly took out a small bag of copper coins and offered it with both hands, "Master Jun, please inform Marquis Wen that our master has something important to report."

The soldier shook his head and repeated like a puppet, "No one is allowed in or out without Marquis Wen's order. Don't you understand?"

The housekeeper wanted to say more, but when he heard the sound of a knife being drawn next to him, he trembled with fright and hurriedly stepped back.

"Master, he doesn't want to see us!"

Chen Jiang looked at the closed door and understood in his heart that all this was Lu Bu's trick. I'm afraid it would be useless if he waited any longer.

"Let's go back and send a message to Master Gongyu quickly. I don't believe it. Lu Bu can be bigger than Master Gongyu."

…

"Ha ha!"

When Lu Bu heard Zhang Hu's report, he couldn't help laughing, "Chen Jiang, you really thought that I would compensate him for the farmland. It's really funny!"

Before Lu Bu measured the land, he already had the idea to take all the fertile land in Xiaopei as his own and then let the refugees cultivate it.

For those local gentry who are obedient, Lu Bu will leave some corners for them, but if they are disobedient, then I'm sorry, they can only go to that depression.

As for whether the gentry could grow food in that depression, this was not something Lu Bu considered.

Not only did he occupy these people's land, Lu Bu also prepared to open up wasteland everywhere to plant more land.

In the Battle of Yanzhou, Lu Bu suffered a huge loss in food. As a result, he was defeated and retreated from Yanzhou sadly.

This time, he planned to grow food, so that his troops would never have to worry about food.

Moreover, in the world of adventure, he also understood a truth.

Don't underestimate those refugees. If they are united, they will be an immortal force.

When Zhang Jiao gave an order, hundreds of thousands of people rose up in response and stood loyally on his side.

During this period of time, Lu Bu thought about why the teacher failed and what was the reason?

The teacher's troops are not small, but they are still defeated by officers and soldiers who are much smaller than him. What is the reason for this?

Lu Bu imagined the battle between the teacher and the officers and soldiers, and also imagined what the result would be if he commanded it?

In the end, he came to a conclusion, which of course was just his personal opinion.

Although the teacher has organizational skills and can call on hundreds of thousands of people to obey orders, he has no military capabilities.

If hundreds of thousands of people are led by clever generals, they will be a terrifying force.

But if led by mediocre people, these hundreds of thousands of people will be nothing more than a group of lambs.

There is another more important reason for this, and that is materials.

Although the teacher's subordinates were large in number, they were not fully equipped and had insufficient food. This was also an important reason for his failure.

Lu Bu would never make the same mistakes as the teacher.

What's more, why would he make that kind of mistake now that he has the conditions?

Food can be exchanged for points, and weapons and armor can be obtained from the adventure world.

What he needs now is to get the support of hundreds of thousands of people like his teacher. Then, coupled with the bonus of Adventure World, Lu Bu believes that the height he can reach is definitely not what the teacher can match.

Of course, the most important problem now is the refugees Zhang Miao went to recruit.

In the past few days, Lu Bu has been thinking about what attitude he should use to face these refugees.

If you just give these people some food, they will be grateful, but it will be far from the effect Lu Bu wants.

If they come here to eat, then as long as someone else gives them a fuller and better meal, they will turn around and go to that side without hesitation.

Therefore, the teacher's methods must be used to unite these refugees and prevent them from betraying.

Just when Lu Bu was thinking undecided, Chen Gong, who was standing aside, frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "Marquis Wen, although we got some land, we have inadvertently offended the Chen family in Xuzhou, which may also be very detrimental to us.

ah!"

Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong and sneered, "Gongtai, what are you worried about? Are you still worried that the Xuzhou Chen family will drive us out of Xiaopei?"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile, "I heard that the new Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Xuande thinks highly of the Chen family and his son. If they say bad things about us in front of Liu Xuande!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "So what?"

Chen Gong sighed, "Xiaopei is only a county and has poor supplies. If our army wants to quickly restore its strength, I am afraid it will need the support of Liu Xuande. If he is offended, it will be very difficult to restore its strength!"

After hearing this, Lu Bu sneered disdainfully.

In the past, maybe he would worry about the lack of food and various supplies, but now, will he worry?

"Gongtai, just don't worry, I will take care of the material issues!"

At this point, Lu Bu's tone paused, "Yesterday Meng Zhuo said that he had recruited more than 1,000 people to come to the east of the city. Why don't we go take a look now?"

Chen Gong nodded, but his heart was still heavy.

He had long known that Lu Bu was reckless and willful, but he never thought that it was so serious!

The princes in the world, even if they are as powerful as Yuan Shao, would not dare to offend the local noble family easily.

But the reckless Lu Bu in front of him had no scruples, as if he didn't know the consequences of offending a noble family.

These aristocratic families possess not only food and materials, but also the most important talents.

People who can read and write mostly come from aristocratic families. If they are offended, who will join them?

…

Lu Bu brought Chen Gong to the east of the city. Zhang Miao had already received the news and hurried out to greet him.

"I've met Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, "Meng Zhuo, where are the refugees we recruited?"

Zhang Miao hurriedly pointed behind him, "There is no place to live now, so we have arranged to go to the woods not far away. At night, they can hide in the woods to rest."

Lu Bu nodded, "Meng Zhuo, let's go take a look."

Zhang Miao cupped his hands and led Lu Bubu and others towards the woods.

As soon as Lu Bu approached the woods, he heard the sound of bustling in front of him, and at the same time, the smell of cornmeal cooking porridge also hit his face.

When everyone walked around the woods along the path, they saw countless refugees sitting in the open space next to the woods, all looking at several steaming cauldrons next to the woods.

As soon as Lu Bu walked out of the woods, he heard someone shouting, "Everyone be silent, Marquis Wen is here."

In just a moment, the originally bustling sounds suddenly became quiet.

Lu Bu came to the edge of the woods, looked at these refugees in ragged clothes, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

These refugees are all sallow and thin. No, those who are sallow and skinny are considered good. There are also many people who are already skinny and skinny. The skin on their bodies is wrinkled like tree bark, and they are almost no longer human-like.

They only have one breath left!

The refugees' eyes were dull, showing despair. Only when they looked at the big pot of porridge, a faint light flashed through them.

If other princes saw these refugees, their first order would be to drive them away and stop wasting food.

And recruiting soldiers will never be recruited from these half-dead refugees.

If you want to recruit soldiers from refugees who are so thin that they are just skin and bones, you must feed them and feed them for a month or two before they can return to normal.

Who is willing to spend a month or two of food to recruit these refugees?

With this food available, it is better to recruit among the strong people, that will save more food.

Lu Bu looked at these refugees and frowned slightly. He was not worried about the food problem, but the number of people.

In the world of adventure, he had many successful experiences in recruiting disciples, but facing so many people, he was scratching his head.

Do you have to ask one by one? This is simply too time-consuming. Even if you don’t sleep every day, I’m afraid I won’t be able to influence more people!
