Chapter 33 Bamboo Helmet
Wang Heng slapped his thigh and said, "Even if it is 30,000 troops, it will not be finished. The leeks can be harvested once a month or two, and hundreds of kilograms per acre at a time. The green onions and ginger are also high in yields."
"If the army can't finish eating, give it to the garrisons. The garrisons worked hard, so why can't they stop eating? If there is more, they will build large-scale construction, build roads, bridges, and water conservancy." Lu Bu said.
Wang Heng said: "Okay, there's no left anyway."
Wang Heng pulled five carts of cabbage, and the cabbage returned to the city. As Lu Bu said, there are things that are not left nowadays.
The weather in mid-March is already a little hot.
Qin Yilu led more than 10,000 strong men to reclaim land, and from time to time a foreman led everyone to sing a small confusion to explain the situation.
"The Qin Lord is boring. I think this land is well grown, but it is not used enough by the land, rivers, roads, etc. These places are planted with Wenhou melons. Wenhou melons are very long climbing vines, and there are many results." Lu Bu said that Wenhou melons are actually honey-based pumpkins, with a sweet taste and abundant yield.
Qin Zhubo said: "My lord is really a living person, he is so meticulous. Why don't our Xuzhou army worry about not being prosperous or prosperous?"
"When autumn comes, you will understand why I will ask you to have a variety of Wenhou melons. If you cultivate these tens of thousands of acres of land, you can plant 100,000 trees on the roadside, and a 20 kilogram of melons will be 200,000 kilograms." Lu Bu said.
"Okay, no problem. I must arrange to plant it. I think this Wenhou melon will definitely be delicious," said Qin Yilu.
"The taste is OK, but the important thing is to satisfy your hunger," said Lu Bu.
Each person consumes an amazing amount of more than 10,000 yuan per day, but the speed of working is quite good. In addition to potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and various vegetables, a large number of soybeans, sorghum, millet and other crops are also planted.
Because horse manure is not enough, each acre of land is filled with fifty kilograms of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer, and the exchange price is also very expensive, seventy kilograms.
Almost all the money in the system has been cleared. Lu Bu came here this afternoon. The most important thing is to wait for it to get dark and fill the best river sand when he went to the river to practice martial arts.
In the river, a thousand soldiers led by Hao Meng cleaned the river and sifted sand. The work efficiency was average. I worked for seven or eight days, but only more than twenty piles of sand were piled up.
It was getting darker, and the soldiers returned to the camp and Tun Ding also returned.
Lu Bu sent his personal soldiers away and filled the sand. It was pretty good, with a total of 10,000 cubic meters, and he earned four million yuan.
Lu Bu practiced until dark before returning to the camp.
General Gao Shun came over and said, "Lord, I have not reported my experiences and experiences along the way."
"Oh, my brother doesn't have to be so polite. What are you going to know about this along the way?" Lu Bu asked.
"From the north of Xuzhou, it is only more than a hundred miles away. The Teng Kingdom in Donghai County is full of barren land, dilapidated houses, and displaced people. If the lord has abundant food and grass, it can help them resume production, so that our tax sources will expand and more troops will be more." Gao Shun said.
According to the geography that Lu Bu understood, the northern part of Xuzhou is the west of Zaozhuang and near Tengzhou in the southwest Shandong area. It is now owned by Donghai County. The soil here is fertile and water conservancy is convenient. It is also a flat place. It is logically a big granary, but unfortunately it was burned and killed by Cao Cao and was desolate.
Lu Bu said: "I support General Gao Shun's idea very much, but you know, we only recruited 5,000 soldiers for 20,000 soldiers, and the second batch of 5,000 soldiers was about to be recruited. Now Wei Yue has gone to Xiapi, and Chen Gong has released grain in Xuzhou. We are sending people to Teng Kingdom, so we are a little helpless."
"I understand what the lord said, but I can't bear it." Gao Shun said.
Lu Bu thought about it and said, "There is no war at the moment, and all the princes are resting and recuperating. You lead our troops to do two things for me. The first thing is to recruit 5,000 soldiers, which is the standard of the last time. The second thing is to count the farmers who need to grow grain and provide relief. Give me seven days to raise some money and grain. In seven days, I will transport grain to Teng Kingdom to find you."
"I thank my lord for the people." Gao Shun bowed.
Gao Shun left, and Lu Bu calculated that he could not put much food in fact. Teng Kingdom is just a part of the East China Sea. There are 3,000 families who need seeds and grain, each household has half a stone of grain, but only 1,500 stones of grain. He led the cavalry and sent it over, winning people's hearts. Why not have more tax sources in autumn?
However, what we need to do now is to equip the soldiers first. Now there are 14,200 soldiers, and the armor gap reaches more than 10,000. The armor speed is very slow, but the helmet Lu Bu found it from the system.
That is the most common bamboo woven large brim hat in the 1990s. The outside is made of hard bamboo woven, and the inner lining is a layer of steel plate one millimeter thick.
The protection ability of bamboo helmets was quite strong, and it was the standard configuration for construction sites at that time.
The main reason is that the price is cheap, twenty-five yuan per person.
Lu Bu spent 2.5 million yuan to exchange for 10,000 bamboo helmets.
Lu Bu came out and said, "Cheng Lian, gather the soldiers of your camp and I will distribute equipment."
"Yes." Cheng Lian was very happy. It was still beneficial to be a goalkeeper, that is, there was no shortage of equipment, and they were all the first equipment.
Lu Bu's thousand cavalry all had iron helmets, so naturally they no longer had to equip this bamboo-weaving helmet.
When Cheng Lian brought his men out of the warehouse, he was surprised. Ten thousand helmets were piled up like a hill. Each person put on one of them first. The brand new things look comfortable and comfortable to wear.
"Go to inform the recruits camp, Chen Gong, Hao Meng, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Liao Hua all led their troops to gather in the college ground." Lu Bu ordered.
"yes."
Recently, after this period of time, the army was reorganized and intensive training, the gathering was still very fast. In just a quarter of an hour, a team of more than ten thousand people arrived on the school ground.
The moonlight was hazy, and the bonfire was burning in the large iron pots around the platform.
Except for Chen Gong, Cao Xing did not arrive, and everything else arrived.
Holding a bamboo-woven helmet, Lu Bu said, "Where is the most important and fragile place of a human body?"
"Of course it's the head." said the soldiers.
"Yes, that's right. The generals and officers have cast iron helmets, which have strong protection capabilities. But ordinary soldiers have nothing. For this reason, I will think about it day and night, rack my brains to find a way for everyone. Finally, I will arrange to customize this bamboo-woven large-brimmed helmet." Lu Bu said, holding up the helmet.
Everyone doesn't believe it. Everyone has seen the bamboo, but it may not be strong anymore.
Lu Bu said: "It seems that everyone doesn't believe it anymore. You two come up and demonstrate it to everyone."
Lu Bu waved his hand and two personal soldiers came up.
Each of them took a bamboo helmet and placed it on the ground. Then they stood up without slanting it at all, which shows that they still have strong resistance to pressure.
