Chapter 214 Danyang Returns to the Heart

Danyang is a mountainous area. The city has a population of only tens of thousands of soldiers, not even 50,000. It is a complete military city.

The poor people in the city are still not a big problem, and the real difficulty is the people in the mountain village outside the city.

Ji Ling had to discuss many issues with military and political efforts, and Lu Bu still had to discuss with him.

"Ji County Magistrate Ji, the mountain people are poor and life is difficult when they are not in trouble. Take out millions of kilograms of sorghum in the warehouse, and together with the materials that will be transported from Xuzhou, we will distribute them to the 30,000 people who built roads and cities."

Ji Ling felt very distressed. These things have been accumulated over several years, and 30,000 people have distributed two, which is six million kilograms of food. But Ji Ling knew very well that if you surrender, you should either not do it. If you want to do it, you must do it thoroughly. Now Yuan Shu hates him to the core. It is impossible to turn back, so he can only go to Lu Bu wholeheartedly.

"Everyone obeys the order of the lord, but is afraid that the summer grain will be poor, and it will be miserable if it cannot be collected at that time."

"No need to worry. Then we transfer rice from Guangling County and eat coarse and fine grains together. We will never go hungry."

"Then I'll feel relieved."

Lu Bu opened the grain warehouse in Danyang County. He was very skilled and brave, and opened warehouses to release grain. He built official roads and 30,000 people who built Danyang Fort had a share.

Ji Ling followed Lu Bu to Danyang Castle, saw this nightmare he had once been and saw cement bricks. This thing was too cruel. With the history of cement building a city that took ten years and twenty years to be rewritten.

"Lord, what is the black pillar in the middle of the wall?" Ji Ling asked.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Now they are all their own brothers. You can tell if you go over and take a look."

Ji Ling went over and saw an iron stick as thick as a finger.

"This is called steel bars, which are set up to enhance the solidity of the fortress walls. I was unwilling to add them, but our Taozhu said that he only built buildings that can be passed down from generation to generation. If it was built, it would be broken in thirty or twenty years. He felt that he had no shame to see his ancestors, so I agreed, with a pillar and a beam for every ten feet."

The fortress wall is very narrow, only one meter wide, with bricks on both sides and rammed earth in the middle. The columns of steel and cement bricks are very strong, Ji Ling is considered to be convinced, cement is so powerful.

Since the project cannot be interrupted, today 5,000 strong men were sent for food.

Five thousand people lined up early, each with a stick, which was used to make a shoulder pole.

Lu Bu, Ji Ling, Cao Ping, Shanxiong, Nianzi and others stood on the platform in front.

Lu Bulang said, "Today it's time to send you food. This year, food is life, and no one's family has much food. I and the generals coordinated with the governor of Ji to sorghum rice, cloth, and a large amount of steel steaks. Each 100 kilograms of grain, five-foot cloth, and one hundred steel steaks. The steel steaks can be bought from the nearby shops."

The strong men were very happy. As Lu Bu said, food is fate. This is a consensus. If the government can manage food, it is a gift. If it is also given to the government, it is a good thing for the government to do.

Someone asked: "General, what is the steel slag you are talking about?"

"You will know after a while."

There were queuing up to collect the goods, with a total of twenty distribution points, and hundreds of soldiers supervising them to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation for the second time. Anyone who received the goods applied a paint on his hands.

"One hundred kilograms of grain, five feet of cloth, twenty kilograms of pickles, and a string of iron coins." Lu Bu paid a lot of money, except for the grain used in Danyang warehouse, the others were transferred from Xuzhou. As for the iron coins, they were made according to the exchange ratio of ten iron coins and one copper coins.

The strong man Li Er was a little confused when he received the things. The first three were all good things and were grateful. But what is the fourth one? What is the iron money, what about playing?

"What's the matter with this iron coins? One hundred iron coins? If we go shopping, no one will recognize us?"

"Didn't the general just now? The nearby shop can buy things, needles, threads, and buy whatever you need at home."

This steel horn is also hollow square hole money, but the iron one is equivalent to one copper coin.

You can buy two needles and several roller wires for ten steel horns.

Needles, thread and brains, rough plates, towels, washbasins, etc., and some daily necessities are available. Of course, the prices are all cheap. These strong men received a hundred iron coins and spent them all as soon as they turned around. Because everyone is used to copper coins, iron coins can't trust them.

They carried food, pickles, cloth and things they bought. Lu Bu gave them a five-day holiday. Those who wanted to come back quickly came back to do it, otherwise the work would be arranged for others.

The people of Danyang were greatly moved. Lu Bu kept his promise and paid the reward according to the original agreement. He took turns to collect supplies and sent them back. After a few rests, most of them came back.

Although the construction period is rushing, Xuzhou Jun’s construction site is not a big deal. He has to eat three meals a day, so he basically rests when the sun rises down the mountain.

The five thousand Danyang soldiers in Lu Bu's personal military camp also received the most precious things, and people distributed 100 kilograms of potato seeds and a pack of Wenhou melon seeds.

The so-called potato seed is a sprouted potato. The sprouted potato is poisonous and cannot be eaten, but it can be grown.

On the school ground, five thousand Danyang soldiers received 100 kilograms of potato seeds and a pack of Wenhou melon seeds, and they were all very excited.

Lu Bu was giving a lecture in front.

"I have always been fair in doing things, and the strengthening of men can do their best and the money you have. When you fight, you get bloody money. These potatoes and Wenhou melon seeds cannot make your family rich, but they will definitely make your family eat and drink without worries. Next year, you can sell the things you harvest as seeds to the villagers. This alone can make your family far more than other families. But remember that these seeds can only be circulated within us. Whoever dares to sell them to other princes will definitely be killed."

"yes."

"Everyone goes home and get back as soon as possible."

There are not many generals who dare to do this in the past year, because some soldiers were arrested and they will never come back once they are let go. However, these five thousand Danyang soldiers were recruited by Lu Bu. They usually have delicious food, drink and treat, and have meat to eat and money to get. So they will not come back, and they will not dare not come back at the same time.

When the deserter was caught, he was engaged in military law.

Five thousand Danyang soldiers went home on holiday.

The deeper I understand, the more I admire him. Ji Ling admired Lu Bu. There was no problem with the logistics of war materials and logistics, and thousands of trucks transported supplies and supplies were continuously flowing.

Danyang County has a total of five counties, of which three in the eastern part are extremely poor. Danyang elite soldiers came from here. Because the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, the people of Danyang have developed the ability to fly eaves and walls, and they are also relatively physically strong.

After actual investigation, it was similar to Langya Mountain. The land was on the mountain, which was very thin. If you want to have a lot of yield, you must dig a heavy iron pickaxe for the construction site to build roads and pointed steel shovels and deep-turn them.
