"Okay, lord, don't worry, I will divide it tomorrow. But lord, we have so many strong men, why not cultivate more farmlands, and why not stick to this ten thousand acres. Since potatoes and corn have a high yield of more than ten thousand acres? Even if the yield of ten stones per acre is 500,000 stones, it is not a problem to raise 10,000 soldiers." Qin Yilu said.

"There is still free land?" Lu Bu still didn't know much about the land situation in Xuzhou. In Lu Bu's memory, he was riding horses and fighting and placing troops. He basically didn't know about Xuzhou's government affairs.

"The wasteland that has never been reclaimed is not counted, because it takes too much effort. The wasteland that is left alone is at least 30,000 acres. Most of them are from Tao Qian's old subordinates, and some are from the Mi family. Now the Mi family has followed Liu Bei, and although most of the land has been sold, there are 5,000 acres of sand land that have not yet been taken and are left in the wasteland." Qin Yilu said.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "God helped me Lu Bu, hahaha. OK, continue to do it immediately. I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's still early. Just speak if you need anything else."

"There is nothing else. The strong men are still missing three thousand picks of picks to work. The 30,000 acres of land I just mentioned were abandoned last year and are difficult to deal with. You must dig it with a pick." Qin Yilu said.

"Okay, no problem. I will send someone to you tomorrow morning." Lu Bu said.

It turned out that Lu Bu was a rude man who didn't care about food and grass. Without food and grass, he could not increase his military strength. The morale of the army was unstable and the people were floating. He was defeated in such a disastrous defeat. What Lu Bu had to do now is to increase food and grass as much as possible. Once there was more food and grass, he could maximize the military strength and increase the treatment of soldiers.

There are still many refugees these days, but the worst is that they have enough food and grass, so the troops are sufficient.

Qin Yilu went to make arrangements, but soon, Lu Tong came to report: "General, the owner of the carpenter shop in the west of the city brought the Wenhou water truck customized by the lord."

Lu Bu said: "Come in quickly."

"Yes." Lu Tong went out to invite the carpenter in at the door.

"The villain greets the general." The carpenter saluted Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "Please get up, there is no need to be too polite. Didn't you ask for your name last time?"

"The villain's surname is Mo, his name is Jun. The Wenhou water truck has been built and can be installed by the river. By the way, the canal has been built several meters long." Mo Jun said.

Lu Bu said: "It turns out that he is a descendant of the Mo family. I am really disrespectful. Let's go to the river to install it. If it is used together, I will build an additional cross for the general."

"Okay, general."

The group came to the riverside. The potatoes most needed to be irrigated. The first potatoes sown have already begun to sprout, but they are drought in spring, and the soil moisture is not good, and their growth is not vigorous.

Mo Jun is an expert. Although this is his first time working in Wenhou Shuiche, these things are all knowledge that can be learned from other things.

Pulling pine stumps in the river is strong and firm, and the process is relatively slow. The second part is simple to assemble the parts into a water wheelbarrow. When the water plate is installed and the bamboo tube is installed, the water wheel begins to rotate under the impact of the river, constantly transferring the water to a height of 1.5 meters, which is already half a meter above the ground.

Next to Lu Bu, Qin Yilu looked quietly.

Lu Bu asked: "Master Qin Bo, do you understand?"

"I understand. You just need to add a wooden sink to the place where the bamboo tube is poured to drain the water into the canal. This design is too ruthless and it is very skillful. It does not require human power to continuously raise the water to a high place and irrigate the ground. In this way, it is difficult to not have a good yield." Qin Yilu exclaimed.

The craftsmen have already started to install sinks. The sink is very simple to make. Three wooden boards are just one click away, but they just leak a little, but it doesn’t matter. Just use a smear of mud.

A one-square-meter-long sink drains water into the canal, and it is endless.

After Mo Jun finished installing it, he came over and said, "General, the installation is completed. It's really amazing. He keeps diversion of water into the canal day and night to irrigate the fields. But this area is so large that the working efficiency of a Wenhou water truck is too low. This one can only gush fifty acres of land a day and a night."

Lu Bu said: "That's the point. Has Boss Mo calculated how much does it cost?"

Mo Jun clasped his fists and said, "The general designed a brilliant design that benefits the world. Forget the first one, he will no longer charge the general's money. In the future, the general will provide wood and I will process it. One unit will charge a processing fee of 600 yuan. Of course, if the diameter is larger, the cost will be higher."

"Okay, thank you so much." Lu Bu said.

Mo Jun hesitated and said, "General, can this Wenhou car be made for others to use?"

"Of course, you are only allowed to be made by the locals in Xuzhou. You can't do anything like Cao thief or Da'er thief," said Lu Bu.

"General, don't worry, my carpenter shop has few people, and I can be busy for many days just by orders given to the general." Mo Jun said.

Lu Bu arranged for Wang Heng to pay the money and asked Mo Jun to go back and build a water truck.

Because the temperature in spring is low, it is not suitable for large water irrigation. Small amounts of irrigation are adopted. The canal only passes water to the edge of the ground, and the strong men carry water to the fields. A scoop of water can water several potato seedlings. The waterwheel greatly improves the efficiency of irrigation.

Qin Yilu pointed to a large wasteland not far from the other side of the river and said, "The five thousand acres of land there belong to the Mi family, so let's plant it first. I suggest planting some soybeans. Although the soybean yield is very low, it is nutritious. After eating, it can also squeeze oil."

"Okay. It's still the same rule. The place close to the water source to irrigate is the most convenient place to keep for growing vegetables. I plan to grow 1,000 acres, including chard, pumpkin, cucumber, glutinous vegetables, beans, etc." Lu Bu said.

Qin Yilu was a little puzzled and asked, "Lord, we have already left two thousand acres of vegetable fields here, why do we still have to plant one thousand acres of vegetables?"

"Food is the most important, but vegetables are equally important. People only eat food without comprehensive nutrition, so they must cooperate with vegetables. In addition to giving it to soldiers, they can also keep some pigs, and everyone can eat some meat during festivals." Lu Bu said.

Cheng Lian next to him heard this and exclaimed: "The lord loves soldiers like his sons. Who would not be able to die? The world will never find such a good lord."

Qin Yilu scratched his head and said, "I have heard of cucumber, little cabbage, but I have never heard of other vegetables."

"It doesn't matter. I'll arrange the procurement of seeds. Just be responsible for the land reclamation. Let's work together to develop and strengthen the Xuzhou army." Lu Bu comforted.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were fewer types of vegetables and not so abundant. However, Lu Bu is now cheating, so it is still easy to exchange for some vegetable seeds.

It is not easy to farm in the past few days. Every short distance, a whistle tower is built with wood and sent people to guard it. They drive away all kinds of wild birds during the day and prevent wild boars at night.

The recent improvements in food have been contributed by wild boars.

When I returned to the camp, it was already dark.

Liao Hua led his troops to train for three hours, and became an official army from a bandit, and found that the official army had many requirements. He only practiced in a formation for a whole day, and his voice became hoarse, and the soldiers were not separated.
