Chapter 12 Open warehouse and put grain
The grain that is opened in the warehouse is the seed grain, and it must be new grain. Chen Gong felt a little distressed, but I have to say that Lu Bu was right to do this. Farmers can only plant seeds, and only after planting can they get harvest in autumn. This is the best way to win the hearts of the people.
"Lord, I support the distribution of seeds and grains to farmers in need. Not to mention the distance, just say Xuzhou and Xia Pi. According to 20% of the victims, there are more than 10,000 households, each household with one hundred kilograms, which is only one million kilograms. Can the food gap be fully compensated?" Chen Gong said worriedly.
Lu Bu nodded heavily and said, "I, Lu Bu, want to be the master of Xuzhou, but a passerby who is not just a skim. I will make up for the food shortage. You can arrange to release the grain, and you will not give it for free and return it in the autumn. In addition, I will have pumpkin seeds here. For families with difficult conditions, each family will give ten seeds. If the fertilizer is sufficient, one can produce dozens of kilograms. It can last for a winter."
Lu Bu said as he took out a small bag of pumpkin seeds. Chen Gong took it and was a little unbelievable. How many kilograms can a small seed bear on one tree?
"We must pay attention to it. This melon is so long that it can bear a lot of fruits. It has thick skin and can last for a long time. Whoever doesn't plant it well will regret it," said Lu Bu.
Pumpkins were not popular at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The pumpkin seeds of Lu Bu were redeemed through the system. What is the honey version? It means sweet pumpkin. Long large pumpkins can grow to more than ten pounds, and small ones weigh five or six pounds. When they are not mature, they can be used to make dumpling fillings and bun fillings. When they are mature, the skin will turn yellow and it is very durable and will not be a problem for several months. The most important thing is good yields, planting them in front of and behind the house, and one tree can bear dozens of pounds.
The seeds are cheap, fifty or five thousand grains, and Lu Bu exchanged them for 100,000 grains last night.
Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, lord, I will definitely do this. You have to change your name to such a good melon. How about it? "
Lu Bu said: "That's good, just call it Wen Hougua. It's a great achievement to let the people eat and not be hungry."
Chen Gong led the civil servants of the government office to release food, and Lu Bu's prestige instantly increased. This is truly beneficial to the people and will never be forgotten. The most common saying of the people is that rich men are hard for men without money. No matter how poor they are, they cannot be without seeds and food.
Now Lu Bu gave them seeds and food, which is a great kindness.
Chen Gong was too busy, so he arranged the recruitment work for Gao Shun, and the first batch was 5,000 first. Because the school area was limited, it would be difficult to train for more training.
Four recruitment points were set up in the city, with red notices posted and loud slogans written to support the Han Dynasty and eliminate thieves for the country.
When doing things, you should be justified. No matter what everyone thinks, the slogan cannot be bad.
At the recruiting site in the south of the city, a long queue was lined up at noon, and most of them were ragged refugees. Among them, the most were around 18 years old. Many of them couldn't survive at home, so they found a way out and saved food for their families.
"Everyone is lined up, measure your height first. Just be as high as this green onion." Gao Shun took a green onion. The green onion was about 1.6 meters tall. Measure it one by one. If you have enough height, go to the next level. Of course, you can make do with a strong body of 1.5 meters.
The next level is to measure weight. Gao Shunting will find a way to make a stone pier of 200 jin and place it on the other side of the seesaw. If you want to join the army, you will try it. If you can lift it up, you will pass it. If you can't lift it up, you will brush it down.
The third level is to carry a load, carry a stone of food, carry it with a shoulder pole and walk for 100 meters.
Lu Bu looked at his personal soldiers, each with big arms and round waists. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Gao Shun, these new recruits are too bad, they are all skinny and far worse than our soldiers."
Gao Shun said: "My lord is joking. Our eight thousand soldiers have survived the battle formation for a long time, and they are all strong. It is precisely because of these eight thousand elite soldiers, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, who are afraid of us. These new soldiers look a little weak, but the problem is not big. They are all hungry at home, so they come to the camp to have a full meal for several months to ensure they are strong."
"I am anxious, so I will recruit according to the standards you set. When you encounter special talents, remember to notify me." Lu Bu arranged.
"Yes." Gao Shun wrote down.
Lu Bu remembered the fact that he planned to distribute clothes and shoes to soldiers a few days ago, but unfortunately there was no money in the exchange system.
"Prepare your horse and leave the city."
Lu Bu led a team of troops to rush to the military farmland. He first checked 5,000 acres of potatoes, but they were all planted. The other 5,000 acres were almost plowed. It seemed that there were too many things to be exchanged, and corn seeds also needed to be prepared.
Although the work is done quickly, it consumes a lot. With 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms of food a day, all the strong men who work can eat.
Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse along the path to the river beach. Cheng Lian on the river beach, and Hou Cheng and the two battalions were sifting sand, and they were doing very well.
Lu Bu looked at it and found dozens of piles of piles, each pile of hundreds of cubic meters. The fine river sand is very good, not comparable to the sand made by pebbles.
The work efficiency is not high, but there is no way to do it. Except for a few wheelbarrows, there are no other mechanized tools, and they are made entirely by shovels.
Hou Cheng came over and said, "Lord, the one in the east is our camp screened. Twenty-five piles."
"The ones to the west are our camp, twenty-eight piles." Cheng Lian said.
Lu Bu looked up at the sky. The sun was already westward and said, "Everyone took the tools and went back to the camp. I've been tired these three days. Go back and have a good rest. I'll change people tomorrow and continue to do it."
"It's the lord." The two of them were very happy and happily returned to the camp with their soldiers.
Lu Bu said: "Lu Tong, you will lead your personal soldiers to the city gate to guard and wait for me and return as soon as it gets dark."
Tong Lu hesitated and said, "This is not suitable. It is too dangerous to leave the general alone."
"Don't worry, I have learned a set of boxing techniques in the past few days and don't want to reveal them. At such a close distance, you will hear it if you have something to shout," said Lu Bu.
Lu Tong said: "Okay."
The personal soldiers retreated near the city gate. Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and practiced a few thorns on the river beach, and moved well and warmed up.
When the sky was dark, Lu Bu saw that there was no one around, so he filled the carefully selected river sand and sold it for a good price, 300 yuan per cubic cube. A total of 6,000 cubic cubes, with a price of 301 cubic cubes.
One thousand two hundred people worked hard for three days to get one million. Among them, Hou Chengying had 2,800 cubic meters and Chenglianying had 3,200 cubic meters.
Lu Bu shook his head: "Hey, this efficiency is enough to catch up with Africans, and one thousand two hundred people cannot catch up with two excavators."
But there are quite a lot. I can hold on for a while and I will be replaced tomorrow to dig.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Bu rushed to the near Potato field to check. More than 20 tents were built here, and hundreds of strong men were on duty to guard the situation to prevent wild boars, badgers and other wild beasts from coming to destroy Potatoes in the middle of the night.
