"Today I'll be in the martial arts hall lecture. There was a class once a half month to tell the students about our lord's thoughts and the laws of Xuzhou."

"Let's go and have tea in the chamber."

Lu Bu pulled Chen Gong and the others to the meeting hall for tea.

Chen Gong's face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart: "After the autumn grain collection was collected, the counties and counties in Xuzhou had already lost the warehouses of corn, soybeans and sorghum. In addition, there were potatoes returned from pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin was very huge. It took several major projects to consume the potatoes and pumpkins. In the past two months, the caravans exchanged 12,250 Hun horses and more than 1,000 camels. The horses were used for breeding, and camels were used for the logistics team. When encountering inconvenient places in vehicles, they would use camels to transport them."

"It's great. The Hun horses are easy to raise. In this way, agricultural and animal power can be realized in just a few years. This is our first five-year plan in Xuzhou, and I hope it can be realized."

Chen Gong did not argue that Xuzhou is not considered a military horse now, with almost 50,000 horses, but these are all first-generation horses on the grassland, and only more than 10,000 horses in the second generation. Only by converting grassland horses into farm horses or mules can it be considered to be a livestock. The most important task for farmers to raise horses is to cultivate land, pull carts, rather than ride. Horses raised in farm areas have less running time and are difficult to train into war horses.

"Five years are almost the same as before, with 20,000 new mules and horses added a year, and horses can only work after two years of growth. In fact, five years is still a bit difficult."

"You can't just stare at the donkeys in Langya County, Taishan County, and Dongguan County. There are tens of thousands of yellow cattle, which will increase by seven or eight thousand a year. In a few years, Xuzhou, Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Rencheng will have a large number of yellow cattle and donkeys. What's more, a caravan has built a cattle farm in Jinan County during this period. The grassland cattle transported from the Youzhou grassland came over. After careful training, the calves were produced and they could quickly learn to cultivate the land."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "The scalpers in Langya Mountains are pretty good, they have strong bodies and great strength. The little donkey is really small. A donkey is only about 500 kilograms. It's okay to pull a cart and grind, but it's probably not good to cultivate the land."

"The public platform is wrong. Don't look at the size of the donkey, but its strength is amazing. Two small donkeys can be cultivated in a group, and I have seen them in the Langya Mountains. Now, new crops are promoted, farmers have food in their hands, and the newly born small donkeys are well-nourished and their bodies will gradually become taller and stronger."

"Oh, just make up the numbers. Someone from the governor's office proposed to start recruiting refugees from other princes and distributed homesteads and wastelands. The government provided agricultural tools, grain, seeds in advance, and refugees reclaimed land by themselves and did not collect taxes for three years. After three years, taxes will be collected as usual, so that the surrounding rural areas destroyed by war can be restored as soon as possible. Is this method feasible?"

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, recruited refugees, let them cultivate themselves and build houses by themselves. The investment was not small, including agricultural tools, food, seeds, and food. The materials for farmers to form simple houses, but now they can afford them.

"Don't promote in our territory, just recruit refugees from outside and settle in the barren area of ​​Xia Pi. Don't be greedy. You must manage them in place. Remember to recruit healthy refugees to strictly prevent the spread of epidemics."

Chen Gong nodded: "It's good if your lord agrees. I will first arrange to build a few refugee villages to build a pilot project, and first dig Cao Cao's corners. This year, Cao Cao's territory has flooded, and there are many refugees. I will dig tens of thousands of people to come."

"Okay, then you can arrange to start. I will make ten thousand sets of farm tools for you, and it's not enough. It's just that the caravans of publicity must be careful. Cao Cao is a man of bad intentions and will probably be difficult to escape once he is discovered."

"Don't worry, lord, we are in Rencheng and are attracted by food in Xiaopei, so the refugees will naturally come. But after coming, they cannot let them run around and arrange carriages to transport them. The recruits from Rencheng will settle near Sishui, and the recruits from Xiaopei will settle at the junction of Pengcheng Xiapi. Those who are strong will come in and arrange to enter the workshop. Those who are with their families will arrange to reclaim wasteland and farm."

Chen Gong's method is still very good. Xuzhou's handicraft industry is now starting to start, and it still requires a lot of manpower, which requires a large number of workers.

Although Cao Cao was so whining all year round, he fought this and that, but his overall strength was very weak, and his grain output was barely enough, and he could maintain it overall. However, the wars throughout the year consumed a lot of productivity. For example, if Xuzhou had not had those things exchanged by Lu Bu, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Although the Central Plains region has a large population and develops earlier, the Central Plains region has severe floods and floods occur every now and then.

This summer, there was another flood. Although the area of ​​the disaster was relatively small, the damage caused by the flood was devastating, with houses, land, food, livestock, and nothing.

The government’s inadequate relief has formed a wave of refugees, wandering everywhere and looking for work everywhere.

Xuzhou is rich and obvious to all, and refugees have spontaneously come, but there are not many.

What Chen Gong has to do now is to install an insider among the refugees in Yanzhou and guide the refugees to drive away Xiaopei and Rencheng in Xuzhou on their own.

You should know that manpower is an important resource. Ten thousand people are equivalent to about ten villages, and fifty thousand people are equivalent to one county. This is an invisible war.

Xuzhou currently has large workshops such as iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, silver ore, quarry, wineries, cotton mills, etc., which require a lot of labor.

Chen Gong went to arrange for refugees to recruit. Now the government has a lot of grain in stock. The agricultural tax that collects the people is all about grain, and the commercial tax is the money. If so much grain is used in the warehouse, it will be damaged if it is not used.

Lu Bu came to the indoor martial arts hall. Today, the one who taught about fists and feet was Hua Ji, who had a lot of experience in the battlefield.

The huge indoor martial arts field has more than 200 square meters inside. The outside is cold and the inside is warm and spring is warm. The two walls of fire heat up the room very warm.

There are more than a dozen sandbags of different sizes hanging on the west side, and wooden stakes stand. The apprentices practice boxing, leg techniques and body techniques here.

There is no shortcut to fisting and kicking, so you can only practice hard.

These rich and wealthy children who cannot endure hardship at home must practice hard when they come here. If they are often lazy and do not practice, they will be fired.

"Ha, ha, ha." The apprentices were wearing canvas-wrapped cotton-wrapped boxing covers on their hands, struggling to hit the sandbags.

The basics of practicing when making sandbags are the foundation, and if you want to make rapid progress, you have to rely on the right practice.

In the middle of the Martial Arts Hall is a square ring, surrounded by ropes. In order to prevent falling injuries, thick straw mats are covered with the outside.

Thick wool blankets can reduce the damage when falling over the shoulder.

Teaching your disciples is a very difficult thing. You must learn from your disciples, but you cannot let your disciples suffer too much injuries. Although you have made a contract, non-essential casualties must be avoided.

On the ring, two Pu Feng were fighting with a disciple named Niu Zhuang.

It is obvious that Niu Zhuang practiced for a short time, his fists and feet were not good, and his pace was even more scattered.

But Pu Feng was very careful in his attack and did not dare to make a quick move. Because Niu Zhuang, as his name is, is 40 kilograms heavier than Pu Feng's small body, which is a huge difference.

In order to prevent the disciples from being lazy, the martial arts hall implements a three-month assessment, and the disciples are classified according to the assessment results. The signs on the chests of the disciples of each level are different. In this way, even if Lu Bu goes out to fight, he cannot come to the martial arts hall often, which also ensures that the disciples study hard and practice hard.
