Two days later, Zhuge Jin received a report that in just two days, more than 500 wild boars were hunted in Yishui County. The effect of bows and arrows was still very obvious, and the wild boars were curbed in a moment of madness.

In fact, the great man was quite enlightened. People could have weapons such as knives, guns, hunting forks and other weapons at home. The village organized a vigil, and built shacks in the fields at night to protect the crops.

Zhuge Jin suggested: "The bow has a huge demand among the people, and there are fewer people and many beasts. Not only wild boars, there are many wild birds and badgers to destroy them when sowing in spring. Although the hunting fork is sharp, it cannot hurt these wild beasts. You can promote hunting bows based on the battle bow. The hunting bow is distributed by the government or made by itself. The strength requirements are lower than the military achievements, and you can barely deal with wild beasts."

"I understand what Ziyu said, but wild animals are inversely proportional to the population. As the population increases, I worry that if the population increases in the future, these animals will disappear and need to be protected."

"The lord thought deeply, but the Han Dynasty's vitality has been damaged. The population is only one-third of its heyday. It is impossible to recover for less than a hundred years. Therefore, the struggle to clear the beasts within a few decades will not stop."

"Okay, wait until I go back to Xuzhou to discuss."

Zhuge Jin's thoughts are somewhat more inclined to Taoist ideas, advocating that the people can rest and not engage in major wars or projects.

However, the advancement of technology is really tangible and visible, and the popularity of carts forces road repairs.

The benefits of overhauling the official road last year were still huge, and it will definitely have to be repaired after the autumn harvest this year.

Lu Bu came west from Dongguan County to Taishan County. Taishan County actually had nothing to do with Taishan. It is south of Mengshan, now in Pingyifei County.

As soon as he arrived at the county town, Wu Dun welcomed him out.

"Master, you are here."

"Well, here, come and see. What's wrong with the people's crops? Is the loss huge?"

"There must be losses, such as pigs, badgers, wild boars, and the damage to sweet potatoes, corn and pumpkins is still very powerful. However, our Taishan County is lighter than Dongguan. The main reason is that my 800 guards are equipped with a large number of bows and arrows. They start hunting in spring and are afraid of wild animals."

"Hahaha, the magistrate Wu Jun was right. It seems that military generals have many ways to deal with wild beasts."

"The main entrance of the village below shouts every day, asking the villagers to go to the fields to protect them. I heard some people shouting: If you don't go to guard the fields at night, you should starve to death. The words are rough and the truth is not rough. What the government can give is help, and what the people do themselves is real."

"What I mean is that no one cares about it, but I don't care about it. I see that sweet potatoes are beginning to harvest one after another, how much does the production of sandy land on the hillside?"

Wu Dun shook his head: "It's far worse than the lord's military farm outside Xuzhou City. The yield per mu of the hillside land is 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms, and three pounds of fresh can dry one kilogram. However, the people are very content, far more abundant than other crops. If the family grows a mu of sweet potatoes, they will not starve to death. This is a great sense of accomplishment. If I hadn't stopped them, I would have built a temple for you."

"Oh, if you have this, can't the yield be increased? Let's go to the field to take a look."

Both of them took off their government offices, and their entourage rushed far away to a harvested sweet potato field.

The family of six is ​​there, and a sweet potato, an uncle in his fifties, with a pleat on his face.

The sweet potatoes are quite large, two or three pounds a piece, and the same as small rat lambs. However, they don’t have many cubes.

Red-skinned and white-hearted, and sometimes adorable.

Lu Bu asked: "Uncle, how much can this produce on average?"

Although Lu Bu is not wearing official uniforms, he looks like he is not an ordinary person.

The uncle put down the farm tools and came over to answer: "This is sandy land, and other crops are almost not grown. The yield per mu of sweet potatoes is more than 8,000 kilograms. Overall, I am very satisfied. It is just that the tree has too few knots, not more knots than the neighbors' homes."

When Lu Bu thought that eight thousand kilograms were only four thousand kilograms, the output was relatively low.

Lu Bu grabbed the soil and looked carefully. Sand and soil were very cost-effective to grow sweet potatoes.

"If you use less fertilizer, you must have more cattle and sheep manure. If you want to have more fruits, you must plant them slantedly when planting, and try not to re-float."

The uncle was very excited and gave a deep gift.

"You are really an expert. My family has no cows or pigs, only a few sheep. I didn't believe that the yield was so high in spring, so I'm completely convinced now. I'll buy piglets in a few days and produce more fertilizers. The yield will definitely be higher next year. My family's carrots in three-quarters of the land have also produced 3,000 kilograms, which is a great harvest."

"Okay, don't worry. Grasp the planting technology slowly and learn other people's techniques actively, and don't be self-confidant."

The uncle nodded: "Being able to grow good crops is a good technology, and we will work hard. The village technicians also often guide us."

They can only be considered to be just getting started with the new crop planting technology, or even not getting started. Planting, management, harvesting, processing, and preservation are all techniques, and there is still a long way to go.

Now the caravan purchases dried sweet potatoes for two kilograms, which is also a great stimulating effect for the people. You should know that it was very difficult for the people to make a few cents in the past. Now, it is quite amazing to sell a mu of land for a lifetime.

You should know that if you can get a wife with five jin of money this year, you can't get a wife.

" Raise more pigs. If you raise more pigs, you will have more feces. If you raise more feces, you will have more food. Although sweet potatoes can be eaten, they are not very delicious. But you can raise pigs. Eating meat will not be a problem in the future. You can do it well."

Lu Bu comforted the farmers and then left with Wu Dun.

The uncle's son came over and said, "That person seems to be the magistrate of Wu County. The magistrates come to check the sweet potato field. I will arrange a variety of points in spring, so you won't be willing to let it go. Now you know that you have high yields."

"It's always right to be careful, but now it seems that sweet potatoes can be eaten, but eating too much will make you feel enlarged."

"I heard that dried sweet potatoes can be made into powder and pancakes can be made, so pancakes don't taste gluten."

The family was very moved. No matter whether it tastes good or not, they were finally not hungry. However, the government has come to a new task, which means that every household must save more food every year to prevent famine.

This is also a good suggestion. Every household has surplus food, so they have to store food. After all, locust plagues and droughts are very common. Especially in Shandong, there are eight years of droughts in ten years.

Taishan County has a smaller population and there are not so many things.

There are also many large-scale sheep and pig farmers. It is a good strategy to drive retail investors through large-scale investors. The disadvantage is that it is easy to form a gap between the rich and the poor, which is inevitable.

"The water conservancy in Taishan County is a bit poor. I see that there are no water trucks built on many mountain streams and rivers. When the farming farm is slack, it will be promoted to help farmers enhance their awareness of drought resistance. Don't wait until the drought is done before you remember to start repairing, that's too late." Lu Bu reminded.
