Chapter 155 Lu Bu is very busy
With gradual physical training and daily uninterrupted punching and foot training, the apprentices are still making rapid progress.
People from Donghai, Pengcheng, Langya and other places have successively joined the martial arts hall.
Although ordinary people are poor, the rich are really rich. Isn’t they just ten horses? I really don’t care. What’s the tuition fee of dozens of stagnant a year? I’ll have to go to brothels a few less trips.
But Lu Bu was even more busy, including the military camp, martial arts hall, government office, and home.
Lu Bu made detailed arrangements. The military camp is the primary priority. As long as you don’t go out to fight, you must go to the military camp to train soldiers, eat, drink and train with the soldiers, and cultivate feelings.
The Xuzhou Governor's Office is the Xuzhou Government Order Center. Although Lu Bu does not go there frequently and some daily government affairs are arranged for Chen Gong to manage, the important matters are arranged by Lu Bu himself, and he usually goes there for six or seven days.
The martial arts hall is more important than home. It comes to teach every three days, teaches according to its aptitude and teaches some martial arts to the disciples.
As for home, sometimes I don’t care about my family when I’m busy, and I only go back for several days.
Lu Bu arranged various matters, rode his horse back home, and would go home frequently in the future.
Everything at home is stable, but Lu Bu needs to come back to see it frequently.
This year, there have been constant wars, and now autumn is coming, and all the princes are resting and recuperating.
Lu Bu originally planned to lead a cavalry into Yanzhou, but Chen Gong persuaded him to stop. Now he annoyed Cao Cao, and Cao's thieves attacked Xuzhou with all their might, which was difficult for Xuzhou to deal with.
Yan arranged a good meal, and the whole family gathered together rarely. Usually, they were separated from each other for nothing.
There was nothing to do at night, and Lu Bu came to Xiang Yan's room.
Lu Bu glanced at Xiang Yan and praised: "It's done well, and the canned prawns are sold very well. It can be said that the supply is in short supply and the sales are quite good."
"That's of course. Every one of these prawns is fresh in my processing. I select ingredients, carefully cooked, and add pepper and other spices. It is naturally delicious. But it's about to go down, and there is no yield in winter. Now I'm rushing to produce these days, and I'm full of smoke."
Xiang Yan said as she leaned her body against Lu Bu and let Lu Bu smell the smell of oil smoke.
"It's true, the strong smell of oil smoke, go and take a shower."
After a while, Xiang Yan changed into a nightgown and came over.
"Husband, my father's dried fish and shrimp business has an old relationship. He sells a lot of goods on Yuan Shu's territory. Can you sell your wine a little more to my father so that he can expand his business."
Lu Bu thought about it, this was his father-in-law, and business cannot be monopolized. Once the businessman becomes bigger, he will have to split it up.
"Okay, then add one more, and there are four stores selling Dahan Imperial Wine. But you must follow our rules and don't do anything nonsense."
Xiang Yan hurriedly said, "How can you do it? In fact, selling this wine doesn't mean to make a lot of money. It's mainly to win over some relationships. Yuan Shu's land is far away from the sea and has a relatively large demand for fish and shrimp."
"Okay, go to Wang Hengnati for a thousand bottles tomorrow, check the sales volume first and then set."
Xiang Yan was very happy that the things assigned by her father were finally completed.
Just as Lu Bu was busy opening the Wenhou Martial Arts Hall in Xuzhou, Dongguan County Magistrate Zhuge Jin also began to be busy.
Dongguan County has only taken over for three or four months, but Zhuge Jin has completely controlled Dongguan.
Dongguan has many mountains, dense forests, rivers and wild animals.
Wild beasts hurt people frequently. At first, Lu Bu arranged for Xuzhou Iron Cavalry to help Zhuge Jin eliminate wild beasts and beat many tigers, wolves, wild boars and leopards that were hurt the most.
Referring to the East China Sea model, Zhuge Jin organized a patrol and guard against public security and large beasts with soldiers as the main body. Then each village organized manpower on its own to prevent wolf harm.
Wolf harm is a very serious disaster in this era, endangering the lives of people and animals.
In the county yamen, Zhuge Jin and his younger brother Zhuge Liang were chatting there.
Zhuge Liang said: "Is it still not charged for autumn grain tax this year?"
"Collection, Dongguan County did not collect autumn grain last year, and this year's summer grain was confiscated. Xuzhou did not collect autumn grain because it had already collected one year of grain in advance in spring. This year, the county of Dongguan County has good weather and no natural disasters, so autumn grain must be collected. The newly built warehouses in each county are still empty, and only with the storage of grain can we have the ability to resist natural disasters."
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised: "Don't you need to transport the food to Xuzhou?"
Zhuge Jin shook his head: "No, the governor's office did not issue a notice. He only said that the autumn grain collection and storage should be done well, and the counties should prepare water conservancy and roads during the winter leisure time."
Although Zhuge Liang was only eighteen years old at this time, his mind was already very mature.
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "How strange, how strange. Xuzhou mercenaries are at least 50,000, and each person is five kilograms of grain every day, which is 250,000 kilograms of grain a day. Why don't you ask the counties to transport the grain back in this way?"
Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "Erliang doesn't know anything. The day before yesterday, Sun Guan led the baggage team to deliver 20,000 kilograms of pickles, 10,000 bottles of leek flowers, dozens of bottles of prawns, and two bottles of wine."
"How strange, how strange. Other princes are desperately trying to squeeze down and are busy expanding their military strength. However, there are still no subsidies like Wen Hou. Although things are not precious, they are also important materials."
Old pickles and leek flowers are for the people who start projects. These days, all kinds of major projects do not start wages, mobilize the people to work and just eat.
Zhuge Jin asked his subordinates to bring two cans of prawns and two bottles of wine.
"Erliang, look, what about this wine? What about this shrimp?"
When Zhuge Liang saw it, it was so strange.
The white and transparent wine bottle is even clearer and there is no trace of turbidity at all.
The prawns were placed in white porcelain jars and soaked in vegetable oil. It was obviously made for a while, but they were still very fresh.
Zhuge Liang picked up the wine bottle and broke the lid open.
Zhuge Jin complained: "You are so fast. This wine is hundreds of dollars a bottle. I plan to keep it. Why did you open it?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "With my brother's ability, it will be a matter of time before I get used to it. Dongguan County is just a jumping platform. Sooner or later, I have to go to Wenhou's side, and I will still lack wine."
Zhuge Liang doesn't drink much normally, he is just curious. The wine is extremely spicy and cannot taste good or bad.
After taking a sip, my brows frowned and I quickly ate a big prawn.
"Well, it's delicious, delicious. The prawns taste so good, it's really good."
Zhuge Liang ate a few shrimps and said, "Brother, farmers are busy growing wheat in autumn. Taking this opportunity to take advantage of the public security rectification, and catch all the thieves, bandits and thieves in the territory."
"You mean to let me knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I didn't say anything. I left. When I came to the yamen, I dozed off and went home to sleep."
"This little slippery." Zhuge Jin ignored him and asked him to go home by himself.
