Zhuge Liang was in charge of Jiangxia, so this situation was naturally not allowed to happen. Lu Bu temporarily stationed in Jiangxia, allowing Zhuge Liang to play his role freely.

Thousands of navy troops went south, and the counties were surrendering. Zhuge Liang ignored past grudges, used what should be used and put them away. He did not kill people indiscriminately. Of course, some powerful men were very arrogant. The Ganning Navy went up and took a huge crossbow, followed by the bow and arrow to open the way, teaching them to be human in minutes, clearing the barriers in the local area.

Lu Bu was worried that Zhuge Liang was young and vigorous and too radical. But in fact, Lu Bu was wrong. Zhuge Liang was not radical, and on the contrary, he was still tolerant of local tyrants. As long as it was not too excessive, he would basically not encounter any catastrophe.

Thinking about it, if he had been radical, he would have not captured Meng Huo seven times, so he would have been pulled out and chopped.

Jiangxiacheng County Governor's Office.

This place was originally Huang Zu's mansion, and now Zhuge Liang is in charge of the government.

The huge yamen is empty, and Zhuge Liang's newly married wife Huang Yueying is still in Xuzhou.

In the backyard, Lu Bu led Lu Tong and Xu Shitou to put on coarse clothes and were digging Wenhou melon seedlings.

It was already very hot at the end of February in Jiangxia. It was cultivated seven days ago. It was packed in small paper bags. Several acres of them were cultivated in the back garden, and hundreds of thousands of them grew.

The newly grown seedlings do not have real leaves, but the transplant is just right at this time and the growth rate is fast.

Jiangxia is also mainly paddy fields, and the large households in the plains are very wealthy and rich.

However, there are few paddy fields in the mountainous areas and many hilly slopes.

The soil is sparse, mostly yellow sand, so you can dig it to the end with a hoe.

Moreover, the people here do not have a high degree of recognition of the Xuzhou army. Unlike Xuzhou, when Lu Bu gave an order, the people cheered.

The government’s order here is not as good as the local wealthy households. What the government needs to do now is to distribute 30 melon seedlings to the needy people and arrange for farmers to plant them.

Each village arranges a supervisor to supervise the villagers' planting.

Because these poor farmers do not recognize the benefits of Wenhou Gua and do not understand them enough, they need to implement this powerful way in the first year.

Xu Shitou scratched his head: "I didn't expect that the lord would farm again."

"Did you think I can ride a horse and play with a painting halberd?"

"No, no, no, I just didn't expect the Lord Guild to farm."

"I am all good at farming, raising fish, raising pigs, raising cattle, and hunting. I have to rely on real skills to survive. Only with real skills can I avoid difficulties."

The Wenhou melon seedlings with nutritional cups are put into wooden plates in all directions, layer by layer, and are pulled away by carriages and transported to the surrounding rural areas.

These farmers plant small quantities, and they taste the sweetness in autumn. They have something to satisfy their hunger and raise pigs. They know the benefits.

Only this first year of promotion requires more effort.

Lu Bu, Xu Shitou, and a group of two people were holding mules, and the mules carried kitchen knives commonly used in rural areas.

The two of them wore straw hats and straw raincoats. It was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. If they didn’t prepare a straw raincoat when they went out, they wanted to get a chicken in the city.

When I arrived at a village, the mountain village here was very poor. Most of the villagers had yellow cows' houses and hay. The courtyard wall made of gravel on the mountain was made of gravel.

Chicken, goats, and even pigs in the village were walking everywhere.

"A kitchen knife, kitchen knife, and a kitchen knife made of fine iron. It can cut meat and cut vegetables, and it is cheap and easy to use."

"Look at it, buy a big knife and get a small knife, buy a small knife and get a scissor. Small scissors are really easy to use, they can cut cloth to cut vegetables."

Lu Bu is tired of fighting and is very entertaining, and is coming out to relieve his boredom.

Xu Shitou held back and didn't laugh.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, an old man asked:

"Man, how do you sell your kitchen knife?"

"If you buy it, it will be thirty cents per hand, and if you buy it, it will be forty cents per hand. You can cut melons and vegetables, and you can cut tofu and garlic."

"It's quite cost-effective to buy cash, but why is it so expensive to sell for credit?"

"Because the credit sales have to wait until the big melon grows to twenty kilograms and people can't eat it and feed the pigs before they come to collect the accounts. If this is not the case, they won't come to collect it."

The villagers were amused when they heard this: "You guy may lose money. No one in our village has ever planted melons. Whatever grows in the yellow sand on the mountain doesn't grow. When it comes to famine, they go up the mountain to find leaves to eat, so where can there be big melons to feed pigs?"

"He won't pay for his knife without the conditions."

Hulala, the kitchen knives at home are not easy to use, so they come to sell them on credit.

"I want a kitchen knife and a pair of scissors."

"I want a pig-killing knife."

If you sell one hand and keep one hand and you have to collect the account after you meet the conditions.

There are also those who rely on the debt, but very few are because the villagers are superstitious and believe that this is the cause and effect of credit. If they do not pay back the money, they will have to pay their lives in the future.

For the sake of dozens of cents, few people have to pay.

Lu Bu and Xu Shitou went to several villages, and sold a total of twenty kitchen knives and thirty on credit.

Xu Shitou is not good at arithmetic, but he knows that he sells a lot.

"If you can get the money smoothly, you will get it for hundreds of dollars."

"You are so beautiful that every ten knives sold on credit will not be able to get back one, not to mention that selling is time-consuming and collecting accounts will take more time. When encountering unreasonable villages, this proportion is even more."

"Then I won't report to the official, let the constable deal with it."

"You, you, the elm-mud head, asked someone's name when selling credit. In a few days, you won't know the person who credits the knife. How can you ask the constable to preside over justice? This is actually a financial act. Bet that most people will pay back the money. If there are too many people who don't pay back the money, they will lose money."

Lu Bu returned to the government office and handed over the account book to the ironware business, so that they could collect the pumpkins when they were harvested in autumn.

In fact, the so-called mysterious knife-maker is just a smoke bomb that is placed on sale.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang was back.

"Lord, the overall situation in Jiangxia has been decided, but it will take about a year to be completely stable. The years have been good in recent years, and the popularity of buffaloes is good. There are very few bandits. If they can stabilize, they will be able to solve their food and clothing soon. The conditions here are still very good."

"Okay, please Kongming for Jiangxia's affairs."

Jiangxia's government affairs were handed over to Kong Ming, and military affairs were handed over to Cao Xing, Gan Ning, Ma, Bu and Shui armies, and there was no problem in safety.

Lu Bu led a large army to Nanyang, and Cao Cao's spies hurriedly reported to Runan.

But he scared Li Dian of Runan and hurriedly strengthened the city wall and prepared for city defense.

In fact, Lu Bu just went to Nanyang to see Cheng Lian.

Like Jiangxia, Nanyang County is very huge, more than 300 miles long from east to west and more than 150 miles wide from north to south. The huge area is mainly composed of plains and mountains as the auxiliary.

At the south gate of Nanyang, Cheng Lian went out of the city to greet him.

"Lord." Cheng Lian led his men to worship.

"Please get up quickly, brothers, are you still adapting here?"
