Chapter 335

"Yes, General Gao built the bricks burned by his soldiers and the houses built by himself. The walls were super thick, warm in winter and cool in summer. In winter, there were fireplaces in the interior, which were warm and comfortable. At that time, a total of 1,100 rooms were built, and now there are ample rooms. In addition, General Gao left you more than just barracks, General Zhang followed me."

Zhuge Jin led Zhang He to the vegetable field west of the military camp.

At first glance, there were neatly wrapped cabbages. The Broad Army was harvesting. These were the original Jinan County garrisons, all of whom were homeless. They were old and could not fight, so they did some jobs of growing and harvesting vegetables.

"There are more than 3,000 acres of cabbage, radish, chrysanthemums, snow red, carrots, etc. Gao Shun led his army to the expedition and most of them remained, and more than a thousand old troops were under management. Now General Zhang is here, and you will eat them all."

Zhang He was so shocked that he couldn't stop. There was a quarrel between the various departments of Yuan Shao's army because of a little supplies. These thousands of acres of winter vegetables were delivered as soon as possible.

"This, this, this is not very good. General Gao's family, we ate it."

"It's not just this order of food, but there are more than 800 pigs and more than 1,000 sheep. However, pigs and sheep must be eaten in small quantities, and long-term development is paid attention to. In the future, your department will take over the vegetable field and the farm."

The farm is next to it, and more than 100 pigs are bred. The breeding pigs are fattened to 500 or 600 kilograms before they can be eaten. Those that do not meet the standards cannot be eaten. These pigs are in a free-range state, mainly weeds, vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, and cornmeal bean cakes. They are wild, have strong disease resistance, slow growth, have a lot of fatty meat, and have a fragrant taste.

In this era, most people still like fat.

The same is true for sheep. They grazed nearby and came back to feed the forage, corn stalks, and sweet potato seedlings piled up like mountains and couldn't finish eating them.

Pigs and sheep are mainly used to provide fertilizer to the vegetable field.

Pig manure, sheep manure, etc. are processed as fertilizer with dead branches and leaves.

"Do you want to send some of the pigs, sheep, vegetables and carrots to Jizhou?"

Zhuge Jin shook his head: "This depends on the lord's military order. If there is no transfer order, there is no need. After all, Jizhou is also a wealthy place, and you can buy it in the local area."

Zhang He thought it was right. The transportation of low-value vegetables in the baggage may not be enough for shipping. It is estimated that it may be transported back to transport some pigs and sheep when the year is almost the year.

The farm has a dedicated person to be responsible for it, and the vegetable fields are separated. Each house is divided into about 30 acres of vegetable fields. Basically, self-sufficiency can be achieved, and there is still a surplus when managed properly.

At this time, the post station commanders came, the horses were placed at the door and trotted over.

"Report that General Zhang. General Zhang. The eight thousand quilts and eight thousand mattresses were allocated through the post station. Arrived half an hour later, please arrange to receive supplies."

"It's so fast, okay, I know, arrange to accept it immediately."

"Yes." The messenger went down.

Zhuge Jin was happy next to him: "The logistics of other vassals' army has been sank to the local area, and the quilts are provided by the garrison. The lord considers that the pressure on the local area is too heavy, so it is provided by Xuzhou. Moreover, we use quilts and mattresses made of cotton, which are very warm."

"cotton?"

"It's very warm to cotton and works better than fur."

What impressed Zhang He the most was that the coat worn by the post station patrolmen at night was said to be cotton, but it was not affiliated with him, so it was hard to catch them and see them.

Zhuge Jin returned to the county magistrate's office in advance. He was too busy and now he was in charge of Qingzhou, with a population of nearly one million.

Zhang He led the head of the accounting department and a thousand infantrymen to receive supplies.

After a while, more than a hundred carts of quilts came. The convoy was really sent out a mile to pull the cart, and the strong mule was sniffing.

The person who came was the deputy general of the post station, Pan Lin, who was one level lower than Zhang He.

However, Zhang He dared not neglect, after all, Zhang He is a newcomer and has a relatively low status in the Xuzhou army.

"Thank you, Captain Pan, for your hard work, sending us supplies. The camp has prepared hot dishes and hot rice."

"General Zhang, you should do it. You are not busy with food, but you are in military affairs. Please check and sign for it before eating."

"Okay, thank you Captain Pan for your hard work."

First check the military orders and check the waist cards. Then, the main sheet starts to check one by one.

Zhang He touched the quilt with his hand, and it was indeed very warm. He felt strange about this kind of thing he had never seen before, but he didn't expect that there would be flowers that could keep warm.

When his subordinates inspected the items, Zhang He invited Pan Lin to have a meal.

I made a stewed goose with potatoes and drank the wine provided by the army. The degree is relatively low. You can drink less if appropriate, and the generals are not allowed to drink too much.

"Personnel Pan, come and drink less to keep warm."

"Thank you, General Zhang."

The two of them whispered and drank less.

Zhang He was very curious: "I saw that the mule pulling the cart was extremely majestic, black and strong. Where did our Xuzhou army come from so many mules?"

"This is a long story. The Hun horses are short and violent. Most people in the Central Plains don't want to buy them. Our Marquis Wen is as wise as a torch and spent a lot of money to buy countless Hun horses. In addition to riding, the rest are used to cultivate horses and mules. Now our Xuzhou military horses have exploded, and there are tens of thousands of new horses added every year, which is a very large production capacity."

"Awesome, awesome."

Zhang He couldn't help but praise him, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu, who seemed brave, had such a far-reaching vision.

In fact, Lu Bu’s purpose is very clear. It’s not that the population is small, so raise more animals to improve productivity.

In addition to being brave, soldiers still have a lot of demand for equipment, food and patronage when fighting.

Moreover, as a civilized army, the Xuzhou army, the righteous army, could not rob it everywhere. How precious is it to have a huge logistics force.

Zhang He is determined to follow Lu Bu now and will be able to become famous in history in the future.

Liu Sanfu, who was sending supplies to Jizhou, was better, but the distance was only a few hundred miles.

It is slow to deliver to Jizhou, but it doesn’t matter. There is an iron horse transport team, directly under the general logistics, and a large shelf iron horse. An iron horse can carry ten bedding and is easy and easy to carry.

A thousand, two hundred iron horse transport teams were sent to run to Jizhou City.

These transport teams are veterans on iron horses, wearing cotton coats, and march 150 to 200 miles a day. They are more than twice as fast as carriages. Why do they walk so fast? It is because Jizhou has already shouted. When Zhao Yun drove away Jizhou, he took away all the bedding.

Most of the original bedding in Chunyu Qiong's tribe is thin, and it is more difficult to spend the winter.

In order to ensure that there are fewer lice in the army and no lice, the messy fur and quilts had to be dried frequently and washed with soap. The lice were much better, but it was difficult to completely cut off.
