When Lu Bu thought about it, he had golden fingers and kept hiding them all day long. He had to wait until he was caught by Cao Zhe and hung them on the Baimen Tower before he remembered to use them? The price of a wheelbarrow is not expensive, less than 400 yuan per car. You can't be a petty man all the time, and this problem needs to be changed.

"Food security is the top priority. Without food, a million troops will be defeated without fighting. I figured it out. Without food, there is nothing. I will allocate 3,000 wheelbarrows to you. You must make good use of them. In addition to planting good land, you must also transport the grass removed from the fields to pig farms and goose farms. You have supervised this general. Whoever dares to slack off and be careful to serve you?" Lu Bu said.

Qin Yilu was very moved. Nothing was better than being valued. He just said that he had transported 1,500 wheelbarrows, but in a blink of an eye it turned into 3,000. How much does this lord attach to military farming? In disguise, he valued himself.

"Don't worry, lord, every car will be used to its application and will create its due value," Qin Yilu guaranteed.

Until now, the reclamation of wasteland has not stopped. We work hard every day. In early April, there is still one month before the wheat harvest. Now it is not too late to reclaim wasteland, so we can hurry up to plant anything.

In the early morning, it was dawn.

Lu Bu went to the recruit camp for a walk and then came out. Lu Bu, Feng Xiong, and Hua Ji also had a master, a personal soldier, a group of five cavalrymen, and they were all wearing casual clothes.

Quickly drive away from Xia Pi.

The distance from Xuzhou to Xiapi is not far, it is only about 160 miles away. If the army travels, it will take three days for the infantry to arrive.

Now Lu Bu and his party have only five people, and their movement speed is much faster.

Along the way, there are few pedestrians and business trips on the road, and occasionally some villages are sparsely populated.

The wars in Xuzhou for several years have caused great damage to people's livelihood.

However, at noon, the group ran out for more than 60 miles, the horses were tired and the people were hungry.

Feng Xiong said: "Lord, there is a village on the roadside in front of you. There is still an inn. Let's go and rest?"

"Okay, go and go and rest, the horses are tired," said Lu Bu.

The group went over and found that this was the Rangers' post station.

Cao Xing's Rangers passed by here every now and then, so a station was set up from here.

The station is open to the public and payment is fine.

The waiter was recruited by a nearby village, so where did you know Lu Bu?

"How many guests want to stay or play the best?"

Lu Bu said: "It's still early, so I'll leave after I beat the tip. Make a hard dish and stew a big goose."

There are many rivers nearby, and the villagers raise more geese than chickens.

A big goose worth about ten pounds is only a few dozen cents.

The waiter said: "The big goose will be stewed for a long time, and the guest will be there later."

Lu Bu said: "It's okay, let's cook slowly, let's go around the fields."

Next to the station is a stream, which flows slowly and clear and green farmland beside the stream.

An old man in his sixties was sorting out his own small vegetable garden. There were dozens of Wenhou melons planted beside the vegetable field, and he had already started climbing seedlings.

Lu Bu said: "The old man has well organized the vegetable fields."

"Of course, I am an expert in growing vegetables. Although I am old, I still have five acres of land." said the old man.

"I think you, Wenhou melon, have grown well, and have started to climb seedlings."

"This is a seed produced by the government, and many people don't believe that this Wenhou melon can produce a good harvest. But I believe it."

Lu Bu was very happy and asked, "Why do you believe it?"

"You think, Wen Hou is Lord Lu, that's a very good character who beats Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers together. He needs to make a Wen Hou melon to fool people. I want me to tell you, this melon will not only produce a lot of money, but also produce a lot of money." The old man said.

Lu Bu was very moved. There are still people who are wise among the people.

"Have you planted crops in the fields? Are there enough seeds?" Lu Bu asked.

"The seeds are not enough. The government has distributed 120 kilograms of grain and planted them all. They still have some foods, so life is hopeful." The old man said.

"Old man, do you have any dissatisfaction with the government?" Lu Bu asked again.

The old man shook his head and said, "It's much better than the chaos in the past two years."

The old man's grandson came to deliver the meal. He was a young man in his twenties.

The young man said: "I am not satisfied with the government and I have made mistakes in the government's strategy."

"Oh, what are you feeling about the mistake?" Lu Bu asked the young man.

"Xuzhou was exhausted, and its population dropped sharply after the war. The government distributed seeds and food to spend the famine. But General Lu forgot one thing: Xuzhou has been a place of four wars since ancient times. In less than two years, war broke out again in Xuzhou, and all development will be in vain at that time." said the young man.

Lu Bu nodded frequently after hearing this. The young man is very good at seeing it.

"Then what better way do you have?" Lu Bu asked.

"Preserving Xuzhou is a dead end, because the area is too large, and the defense of division of troops is weak. I want to tell me that the government should distribute large animals such as pigs and sheep to the people. Now there is a small population and a large cultivated land. The most important thing is weeds. No need to spend more, just send tens of thousands of heads. After about a year of cultivation, the government will take back the military rations. Then, you can go north and ignore Qingzhou, but you must take Youzhou. In this way, the source of horses will be guaranteed. Good horses can be used as war horses, and the horses will stay in the countryside as farm horses. Wen Hou is known as a flying general and is best at using cavalry. Once you have tens of thousands of cavalry, you will be invincible in the world." The young man said very well.

The old man couldn't listen and cursed: "You child is just talking nonsense. It's a great kindness for the government to release food. How could he hear that pigs and sheep are distributed?"

The young man was dissatisfied and said, "I didn't say I would pay it for free. This is called contracting the household. For example, a 50-kilogram breeding pig will be distributed to a farmer. The next year, ten large fat pigs will be bred. The government collects taxes for one pig and recovers one pig. From now on, there will be taxes for one pig every year, which is a win-win situation. The harvested pigs are made into ham and bacon, and then there will be high-quality military rations. The army heads north and seizes the war horse production areas. Only then can our Xuzhou be stable."

Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded. This method is good, and it's a contract to the household.

The current military farming and breeding are all collective labor. In comparison, the enthusiasm for labor is far less high than that for households.

It is undeniable that many people in the village just make a living.

Lu Bu did not intend to develop civilians on a large scale, but just as a supplement.

"What's the name of the young man?" Lu Bu asked.

"My name is Zhang Xiang, and my courtesy name is Dongfang."

Lu Bu searched in his mind and found no talent with this name in the Three Kingdoms.

However, with more talents, you cannot be limited to what you are familiar with.

"Dongfang, do you want to be an official? How about going to Xuzhou to be a chief lieutenant?" Lu Bu asked.

The young man shook his head and said, "My family is a commoner. No one has ever produced any famous people. I just thought of some methods when I had nothing to do, but no one recommended them. How can I become an official?"
