After two battles with Cao Cao and Sun Ce, one problem was verified, that is, iron armor and helmets were really useful.

The Xuzhou Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu always charges in front of the enemy to welcome the enemy's rain of arrows, but the casualties rate is very low.

Taking this fierce battle with Sun Ce as an example, more than 20 people were killed in the Xuzhou Iron Cavalry, but only more than 50 people were injured. Moreover, the injuries were basically minor injuries, and the cure rate was still very high.

The most killed were infantry soldiers with only one helmet, without armor, and basically died after being stabbed and arrowed.

Hundreds of craftsmen in the Weapons Supervisor are building iron armor for the 800 light cavalry of Zhangliao's troops, and they will basically be completed in more than a month.

To the south of the Pheasant Ridge and more than ten miles away from Xuzhou City, it is basically in an undeveloped state, with the weeds in the wilderness being more than one and a half meters high. The trafficked back Xiongnu horses ran here from the horse farm near the city gate to eat grass every day.

Lu Bu led 1,500 cavalrymen to come here with joy, and two villages five or six miles apart were being built.

The mule carts were coming and going, pulling red bricks, fine sand, cement, and a small amount of steel bars.

Lu Bu pointed at the painting halberd: "Brothers, have you seen it? The first batch of two villages, a total of 800 houses, could be built before the New Year, and it would be completely completed after the New Year."

The Xuzhou Iron Cavalry is the mainstay of the Xuzhou Army. You don’t have to do it yourself. When it’s the turn of other soldiers to build the house, you need to do it yourself.

"General, do we have them?" a small team leader asked Lu Bu.

"Everyone has, there are veterans of more than three years. Anyone who has participated in three battles has even the Fire Head Army. Let's take a look."

Everyone put the horses next to them and walked over.

There are so many people on the construction site, at least 4,000 people.

The person responsible for supervising Zhao Zhubo, and dozens of soldiers also supervised while working.

Each suite has five main rooms, three bedrooms, one living room and one dining room, two rooms in the east wing are stoves and wood rooms.

There is a utility room in the west wing, stables, chicken coop, and toilet.

The red brick cement wall is built very fast, and more than a dozen masons can build a yard in three or four days.

At that time, many people proposed that all roofs use tiles as roofs. Lu Bu disagreed with the opposition and used reinforced concrete as roofs. This was mainly based on the considerations of production and life.

The families of these soldiers have to work farming, and they have to have a place to dry the food after growing them. The roof is a good place. And once a war breaks out, the roof of reinforced concrete is extremely sturdy and much stronger than the tile house.

The supporting houses use tile roofs, which saves some costs.

When Lord Zhao saw Lu Bu coming, he came over to salute: "Lord."

“How is the progress?”

"According to the current progress, 800 buildings in the two villages of Shangxiaofang can be completed, but the courtyard wall will be built after the New Year. After all, it cannot be constructed after the weather is frozen. The increase in manpower will be added next spring and the construction of 2,000 buildings can be completed. I suggest selecting people with construction experience from the stroke to participate in the construction, which can greatly increase the speed."

"Okay, select two thousand people from the 10,000 recruits to come to your dispatch and arrange for the construction of houses as soon as possible. Another 15,000 recruits and 3,000 Danyang soldiers are arranging land reclamation nearby. In a few days, I will arrange for people from other departments to visit, and you will be neatly made on the construction site."

"Don't worry, lord, I will definitely arrange it."

There are 400 houses in a village, and more than a dozen workers are responsible for one foreman. Although there are many people, they are not messy. If there are dozens of workers in a house, or even more, it will appear messy. There are many people who are prone to ignorance of work and quality problems. If there are problems with the construction of a house, there will be no way to remedy it afterwards, so there must be fewer people who build a house and cannot go all out.

The land reclamation is different, with a large-scale tactic of people. This is the four villages of the Iron Cavalry Camp in Xuzhou, with simple and rough names: North Lüying, South Lüying, East Lüying, and West Lüying.

Looking back, after these soldiers started their families, their wives and children had three acres of food fields, and those with work could not delay their farming. The nearby area was dry land, with basically one season of wheat and one season of corn.

After returning from the construction site, these men who were bleeding, sweating and not crying were all a little excited. They fought from Xiliang to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Xuzhou, but unexpectedly settled their homes in Xuzhou.

With a home, there is hope. With children, there will be a paper burner when you die in the future.

In the afternoon, Lu Bu led thousands of Cao's troops to the under construction of Beiluying Village.

The recruits were very surprised: "What are you taking us for?"

Lu Bu said mysteriously: "What is being built is Beiluying Village, also known as Veteran Village, everyone will take a closer look."

Everyone stretched their necks and stared at them, shouting, it was really good, with five main rooms, a big yard, equipped with a kitchen, wood, and stables.

The house with red brick cement is sturdy, sturdy and durable, and it may be a bit hot in summer.

Everyone doesn't understand what it means to come here to see the house.

Lu Bu happily pointed to the large house and said:

"Look at how these houses are? Is it okay to marry a wife and have children?"

"It's so good, spacious and bright, with a huge yard, woodshed, stove, stable, and small vegetable garden, which is comparable to the facilities of wealthy families."

"After three years of working, I have participated in more than three battles, each person will use a house to marry a wife. Each wife and children will have three acres of food fields. Of course, if you make great achievements, you will directly send them to the houses in the city."

There are quite a lot of houses in Xuzhou City, but the rewards are all generals, either outstanding martial arts, outstanding literary talent, or superb craftsmanship. Those craftsmen who can build iron armor will give birth to the houses in the city.

The recruits have been blowing up their nests. These days, they are the last way to eat food. If you eat and wear everything, you have to work hard for the generals. As for other things, you are thinking too much.

Now suddenly, Lu Bu said that he would divide the house and land for everyone.

These soldiers all bowed and said, "Thank you, General."

"As long as everyone creates with their heart and works hard, there will be houses and wives."

At the same time, Song Xian selected a site to build two new veteran villages in Pengcheng, the Southern Song Camp and the Northern Song Camp. Wei Yue built two new villages in Xiapi, and Hou Cheng also built them in Tancheng.

There are not many qualified veterans, with about 8,000 people, and the cost of 8,000 houses is actually very low, and the land is free. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so it is built casually after reasonable planning. Bricks, cement, and artificial are very low, and the doors and windows are made of wooden, so the price is not expensive.

Generally, the master bedroom will be arranged to have a fire kang. As for the other two bedrooms, I will not care about it and will be assigned to anyone to organize it.

Although the recruits cannot be reaped, they have seen a lot of hope and are passionate inside. You should know that three years are not long, short, and blinking.
