Lu Bu said with an innocent look on his face, "I didn't want to make it public, but who would have thought that Chen Deng would leak it out. Fortunately, the amount is small, and it will take at least three years for Liu Bei to develop it. So we will make it public and develop vigorously next year, strive to solve the problem of famine in one year, and become rich in two years."

Chen Gong was so happy that he said, "Don't wait for next year, we will become rich this year. Xuzhou, Teng Kingdom and Xia Pi have planted a total of 40,000 mu of potatoes. According to the minimum yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu, that is 200 million kilograms. I have never seen so much food before. What's more, there are Wenhou rice, sweet potatoes, and Wenhou melons in autumn. What we have to do now is to recruit refugees through caravans and place them in abandoned rural areas, so that they can farm for us."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The efficiency of farmland in the military farm is not high. The garrisons are nothing more than making a living. There are basically few overtime work in the morning and going to bed late. Recruiting refugees should adopt a new model, called contracting households."

"That new boss, Zhang Xiang, is doing experiments?" Chen Gong asked.

"Yes. For example, a refugee family and a family of three, we can share fifteen places with him. The property rights of this land belong to the government, but we can sign a contract of 30 years for them. We lend him tools and vehicles and distribute his seeds. After the harvest in autumn, taxes and fees will be paid according to the income, all other benefits will belong to them. In this way, their enthusiasm will increase a lot of levels." Lu Bu said.

Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "If it is implemented on a large scale, I am afraid that all the powerful families in the world will hate their lords to death."

"Implementation on a large scale? No, it doesn't exist. We just build a few refugee villages on a small scale. Whether this system works is OK, it must be done after experimenting. What's more, we need farmers with no land and little land to enter the workshop to work, so it will not be implemented on a large scale."

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Chen Gong felt relieved.

Chen Gong is a big family, of course, the Chen Gong family is quite conscientious, collecting 20% ​​of the rent and 10% of the government's taxes and fees. However, most of the landlords recruited Qumen, that is, Qumen works for free. If the contract is carried out in large quantities, then a large number of large and powerful families will be greatly hit.

"This time the potato harvest is huge, with hundreds of millions of kilograms. The public station issued three more strict orders to strictly prohibit potatoes from flowing out of Xuzhou. Checkpoints are set up at the intersections of each transportation route, and potatoes are not allowed to be taken out of Xuzhou's boundary." Lu Bu said.

Chen Gong said: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

In the evening, the military camp.

After washing up, the soldiers came to the Huotou Military Office to collect the meal. Today's supper was boiled cabbage, plus a round egg.

"What is this? Is it delicious?"

The Huo Tou Army's big horse swung, and said proudly: "Look at what you said, this is the immortal seeds brought by our General Lu. This is called potatoes, which are delicious."

"How many will I send?"

The Fire Head Army took the soldier's big bowl and said, "What are you talking about? Don't worry about your fullness. Look at your body like a cub. How to fight and eat hard."

After saying that, Huotou Jun filled a large bowl of boiled potatoes.

Boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage, and old pickles, the rice is very full.

The potatoes are excavated one after another, and they are digging about 500 acres every day.

The soldiers were added to the garrison, plus the craftsmen in each workshop and the mines in the mines, a total of only 50,000 people were consumed, and 200,000 kilograms were consumed a day.

Then there is a serious problem: potatoes are not tolerant to placement. There is no need to mention processing, and they do not have that strong processing ability.

The warehouse has been in full swing, and I can't even put it down.

Liao Hua's ministry and Cheng Lian ministry have assumed the responsibility of delivering goods in the past few days.

The wheelbarrow and rack vans have never stopped. I sent 100 vehicles to the Limin Iron Mine, fifty vehicles to the Iron and Vessel Supervisors, fifty vehicles to the Wooden Supervisors. Each army sent 50 vehicles.

Wang Hengchou's hair turned white, why did he give so much? Because there was no place to put it in the warehouse or the book?

At that time, I thought about the high yield of potatoes, but I didn’t consider that potatoes were not tolerant. Now the huge yield cannot be stored, so I can only eliminate them.

Good people eat it, and the poor quality of insects is sliced ​​and dried and crushed to feed the pigs. Pigs like to eat potatoes so much that they gain weight.

Huo Tou Jun makes potatoes in different ways every day, stir-frying, stewing, and cooking. Sometimes they also serve some soy sauce and garlic paste.

Three meals a day, basically all potatoes.

Lu Bu was talking to Pu Feng on the training ground. Unlike when he first came, Pu Feng was a little depressed now.

The three days of Pu Feng coming here can be said to be like a year.

On the first day, I ran, bench press, stone lock, gun stabbing, and boxed. After practicing with these veterans of the Iron Cavalry for a day, I shivered when I returned to the barracks to eat.

The next day, Pu Feng saw soldiers training and fighting with a white wax pole dipped in lime.

Pu Feng thought that he had been practicing for more than ten years, and several masters had to be better than the soldiers, so he started practicing.

I practiced ten soldiers and lost ten times.

Often, before I could feel what was going on, I just felt something, and the only little confidence was gone.

Lu Bu said: "Why? I've just given up for three days. Do you want me to send you home?"

Pu Feng was so proud. When he heard Lu Bu's words, he said, "Who admits his fault, I'm just a little tired."

"From today, you are not allowed to slam the gun and stick. Run, hold the stone lock, bench press, eat more. Practice your body well and practice the spear in a month. Your foundation is not bad, but your practice was ruined before." Lu Bu said.

Pu Feng is not stupid, he knows that Lu Bu is giving him guidance.

He quickly said, "Thank you for your advice from the master."

"Don't scream randomly, call the general or lord. You are not qualified to call the master now. I will give you some advice, but I just don't want you to watch you practice randomly." Lu Bu said.

"I know, Master." Pu Feng ran away after saying that.

Feng Xiong said: "Lord, it's nothing wrong with taking more disciples, you can raise military funds."

"Oh, why do you have this kind of thought?" Lu Bu asked.

"The lord has been in a high position for a long time and does not understand the world. There is a saying in the world that three people who have robbed the road cannot catch up with one who sells medicine, and three people who sell medicine cannot catch up with one who runs school hall. The disciples of Saint Confucius left a great reputation. With the lord's unparalleled martial arts, if you want to accept disciples, why worry about not attracting thousands of students? One student pays the tuition fee for ten horses, that is 30,000 horses, haha." Feng Xiong said happily.
