With the expansion of Xuzhou's territory, internal affairs began to become prominent. Civilian officials could not keep up with the expansion of territory, so they needed to stop and wait. If they failed to manage the territory, they would be like not digesting food. Jinan County and Youzhou County did not have suitable civil officials. If they had no experience in local governance, they would be completely blind.

At the entrance of Pengcheng Pass in Xuzhou, several people came early this morning. The leader was a young scholar with a face as beautiful as a jade, and a tall figure. He had a feather fan, a scarf, a sword hanging on his waist, and four strong followers. The scholar's name was Lu Su, his courtesy name was Zijing, and he was born in a gentry.

The soldiers guarding the pass checked and read the document and released it. There have been constant wars these days, so it is normal to hold a knife and carry a sword. It is not normal to not bring it.

The five people did not ride horses and did not enter Pengcheng all the way, but went to the small town east of Pengcheng.

Lu Su pointed to a small shop on the roadside ahead and said, "I have been walking for a long time, let's have something to eat."

"Okay, young master."

When the waiter saw the guests coming, he hurried to the door: "Welcome to the guests, welcome to the guests, please contact us inside."

"Okay, find two clean seats."

"Don't worry, our seats are clean."

The shop is not big, but it is indeed very clean. The tables and benches are wiped cleanly, and there is no trace of garbage on the blue brick floor.

Lu Su each had a small table, and four followers had a table.

"What do you want to eat?"

"What do you have?"

"The specialty of the shop is to stew big goose and seafood noodles in iron pot. A plate of stewed big goose for twenty cents, a bowl of seafood noodles for four cents. In addition, there is a small plate of pickles for free."

Lu Su is not short of money: "Then let's arrange it like this."

The stewed goose in an iron pot is not freshly made, but stewed. Two plates of potatoes and goose meat are filled with two dishes.

There is a bowl of noodles with two prawns the size of a palm, and a few pieces of straw paper are on it next to it.

"Customer and official use it slowly."

Lu Su was a little surprised. What is the standard of living in Xuzhou? Stewed goose in a plate of 20 cents apart is not cheap. But the prawn noodles costing four cents apart is really affordable. A bowl of noodles is full of one bowl, and two shrimps the size of a palm.

While Lu Su was still thinking about it, the entourage on the table next to him had already started eating.

“It tastes delicious, it’s so delicious.”

Lu Su picked up a piece of potato and tasted it. It felt very sticky and tasted delicious.

Lu Su asked the waiter: "What is the combination of this goose meat? I have never seen this even if I travel around the world."

"This is called potato, but the treasure that Lord Lu asked from heaven."

"Potato?"

Lu Su was a little surprised. As a famous scholar, his eyes and information channels were very wide. Everyone knew about Lu Bu killing Chen Deng. Lu Su also analyzed why Lu Bu did this at that time. First of all, it must be said that potatoes are really important and a powerful tool to resist famine. Second, people in Xuzhou were unstable at that time, and some people wanted to betray Lu Bu. Chen Deng happened to be the chicken that scared the monkey.

"This potato is really that high-yield?"

"This is a mistake. The villain went to the field to see it when harvesting, and it was covered with it."

Lu Su didn't have that much appetite. After picking up a few pieces of goose meat, he asked the entourage to take the plate away. The meal was a bit too full. Especially the two big prawns, which were very fresh, not dried shrimps or ice shrimps.

After dinner, Lu Su led people to continue on the road and left the main road and walked the small road.

Lu Su came to a rural area, and it was the autumn season, and there were farmers who broke corn everywhere.

The follower exclaimed: "It's so strange that you rarely see those who carry loads, they are all pushing wheelbarrows or pulling racks."

Lu Su stood on the side of the road and compared the corn stalks, but it was actually a little shorter than the corn stalks.

There are early and late ones, early ones have harvested, and late ones are still blooming.

A farmer just happened to be passing by with a cart, and Lu Su bowed and bowed and said, "Brother, it's good to buy a few corn."

The farmer is very good at car and gives the gift.

"Why do you need to buy your own products? If you want to eat, just pick up some. However, Mr. Wen has an order and is strictly prohibited from taking them out of Xuzhou."

The farmer was very polite and took Lu Su five big corn cobs.

Lu Su thanked: "Thank you, brother."

Lu Su forced himself to stuff ten cents. It was polite to others. Paying money was a duty.

Lu Su returned to the main road and peeled off the corn skin. When he saw the orange corn inside, he looked very good and was considered a rare good thing.

"Did you find that the corn stalk yield is very high. This is a good thing, raising cattle and sheep, cooking with fire."

"I discovered it, it's really a very good thing."

Lu Su saw another piece of land, and the green tender leaves were adorable. Unfortunately, the master's family had no gains, so he could not go over and dig for someone. As a gentry, the code of conduct was still very strict.

There was an old man resting under the big tree on the roadside in front. Lu Su went over and chatted with the old man.

"Brother-in-law, I just saw that green piece of potato field?"

The old man smiled and said, "We mainly use spring potatoes in Xuzhou, which means planting in early spring, and digging them when we are harvested. In summer, there are fewer potatoes planted in hot and rainy summer. You can start planting at this time and wait for two months to harvest. The land just now was sweet potatoes. The grain promoted by Lord Lu has amazing output. Good things for raising pigs can be sliced ​​and sold for money."

"Is this sweet potato not delicious? Why do you need to raise pigs?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

"It's delicious, and you can eat leaves. As for why pigs are raised, it's because sweet potatoes grow very fast. Lord Chen said that eating food is weaker, and it's necessary to combine meat and grain. A family of five must raise four or five pigs to ensure that there is enough fertilizer to farm. Every household in Xuzhou raises pigs, and even Lord Lu and Lord Chen's mansion raises pigs."

Lu Su was surprised. Isn’t this the one he studied to be able to ensure the world? Pigs are fat and grain are abundant and people are safe, and people are safe. The people’s livelihood is safe. The people’s requirements are not high, and they have a taste of food and soup to drink, and a house to live in. If they cannot even guarantee food and drink, they will be the Yellow Turban Army.

"Mr. Lu, Lord Chen is really thoughtful."

The old man proudly pointed to the newly planted small trees on the roadside in spring.

"Have you seen these street trees on the roadside? They are all persimmon trees to prevent famine. Persimmons can also satisfy hunger in the years and years of famine."

Lu Su deeply agreed that the combination of Lu Bu and Chen Gong is still very powerful.

At this moment, more than a hundred cavalrymen came slowly, with a tall horse with a cavalry knife on his waist and a bent bow on his back. There was also a spear that was ten feet long hanging on the horse.

Lu Su had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the saddles of this team of cavalry were very different. They were actually high bridges on both sides, with support in front and backrests in the back.

Lu Su glanced a few more times, and the general leading the team noticed that Lu Su's gaze was quite strange, and stopped the team with a wave of his hand.

The one who led the team was not someone else, but Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was a favorite general of Lu Bu, and was responsible for patrol and provocateurs. He could tell at a glance that Lu Su was extraordinary.

Cao Xing dismounted and bowed deeply: "Sir, take out your personal text disc."

Lu Su replied: "General Cao later?"

"I dare not, it turns out it's Mr. Lu."

"Oh, have you heard of me?"

Cao Xing nodded: "The lord once said, Lu Su, a kind gentleman, extraordinary eloquent, and capable of conquering the world."

Lu Su was a little confused by praise. After all, Lu Su was still very young at this time, at the age of 25 or 26. Although he was full of knowledge, he had never practiced it.

The Xuzhou Army has made many contributions, including war, recommendation of talents, inventions, breeding technology, etc.

When Cao Xing saw that Lu Su was often mentioned by Lu Bu, he was happy and immediately asked the deputy general to lead the team to patrol and accompany Lu Su himself.

Lu Su loves researching and points to the saddle: "Your saddle is so strange, but it looks easier to ride."

"Mr. Lu is right. With this saddle-controlled horse, you can free your hands better. Is Mr. Lu coming to visit Lord Lu?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Lu Su is honest and will not lie.

"Then sir must have been working all the way. Take my horse back to the city, not far away."

Lu Su quickly shook his hand: "It's not possible to use it, it's not possible to use it."

The general led by Cao Xing seems to be the lowest-level deputy, so it is not suitable to ride his horse.

Cao Xing accompanied Lu Su and walked back to Xuzhou City. It was already dark and Lu Bu was bored in the camp. The originally lively military camp was now deserted and the brothers were all going to guard the city. Hao Meng was in Youzhou, Zhao Yun was in Jizhou, Gao Shun was in Jinan, and Zhang Liao returned to Guangling.

"Stone, call the mountain bear and the millstone."

"yes."

After a while, the mountain bear and the millstone came. As the generals of the Danyang soldiers, the two of them laughed and laughed all day long and didn't have any signs of true shape.

"Master, lord."

"Weishan Lake has been practicing for a month. Have you learned to swim?"

"No, I have learned to drink water." Shanxiong said.

Lu Bu kicked over, and Shanxiong quickly dodged.
