Chapter VIII Wasteland Farming

The iron pick is an 80-centimeter-long wooden handle and a four-pound pick. One end is flat for digging soil and the other end is sharp for digging cranberries.

Lu Bu picked up the shovel and tried it. It felt very good and light. It was so easy to use when farming and digging soil.

Lu Bu called out his personal soldier, Lu Tong, and said, "Transport these tools to the door of Baihu Hall."

Lu Tong said: "It is not safe to put such an expensive thing at the door. It would be great if someone stole it."

"Is this shovel, a pickaxe very expensive?" Lu Bu asked.

Lu Tong said: "The general doesn't know that folk iron tools are expensive. Such well-made shovels require a long time to beat by craftsmen. This shovel costs less than two hundred yuan. As for this, I don't know what tool this is. The weight is heavier than the shovel, and the price is even three or four hundred yuan. If ordinary people want to buy it, they have to consider it. Brothers from other camps will be jealous when they see this shovel and may come to steal it in the middle of the night."

"Okay, put it in the warehouse and take good care of it." Lu Bu said.

The next day, I continued to serve the porridge, and it was at the south gate of Xuzhou. There were more people coming today, at least 3,000 people, 80,000 of them were old, young, women and children. Because of the war, the family was destroyed and the people were dead, they were all pitiful people.

Originally, Lu Bu planned to let his second wife Cao come. Cao's father was less than a year old, so it was not convenient to show up. Diao Chan was too beautiful and was not suitable for her. Lu Bu led his own team and General Cheng Lian assisted.

Polenta is very fast, but it can't be produced so much at one time. These people are still very disciplined and don't be too crowded and line up to collect it one by one. Most people get a bowl and go home, and only a few of them have a big appetite and have to finish two bowls before going home.

Chen Gong rushed over on a horse in a hurry and said, "Lord, ten thousand people in the civil war have already been in place. I wonder how the lord's tools are prepared?"

Lu Bu was surprised and said, "Why is the public station so fast?"

Chen Gong said: "Have you forgotten it? We are now in Xuzhou, and all the yamen under the governor's office are still there. It is not easy to mobilize ten thousand strong men. But the lord has to transfer all the food and tools in person."

"Okay, then I'll go back and transport the food and tools. You can take the people first." Lu Bu said as he arranged for Cheng Lian to be responsible for the porridge and lead his own soldiers back to the camp.

After finding Wang Heng to allocate some food and pickles, he prepared twenty large trucks and pulled tools and drove them to the wasteland.

By the time Lu Bu came, Chen Gong had already started doing this.

First, they set fires everywhere to burn the weeds on the wasteland completely, and a small amount of newly sprouted tender grass also wilted.

When Lu Bu saw that ten thousand acres of land were so big, it was a huge area, at least seven or eight miles long, and there was a river on the edge of the land from west to east. This place was really good. If there were large tractors and machines, more than a dozen machines could plant such a large land.

More than ten thousand men were ragged and dressed in garbled faces, holding small shovels as big as palms, digging the ground there. It seemed that they had no food and had no strength.

Chen Gong didn't expect Lu Bu to come so quickly and said, "Lord, you are here so fast."

Lu Bu said: "The Gongtai led people to open up the land. How could I hide from the leisure time? Food and grass, and the army will take the lead before it moves. The importance of food is self-evident."

Chen Gong said: "The strong men have already started to do it. Although Zhang Fei put the horses on the grass and stepped on it hard, there is a lot of horse manure, so there is no need to worry about fertilizer."

"This ring-eyed thief will beat him up sooner or later." Lu Bu said hatefully.

Lu Bu and Zhang Fei had hatred for several years. Both sides admired each other and hated each other, which could not be resolved for a while. Chen Gong did not respond and shouted: "Master Qin Bo, come here to distribute farm tools and arrange food."

When Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong was calling out that the army leader Bo Qin Yilu, who was in his thirties and looked handsome, but he was less heroic.

Qin Yilu still has the ability, not to mention that he doesn't need to arrange food too much.

Just set up a big pot and arrange the strong men to cook porridge.

When it was time to divide the farm tools, Qin Yilu was stunned. He took a shovel, took a pickaxe and looked left and right, and knocked his fingers. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He came over with two farm tools and said, "Lord, military advisor, this farm tool is made of shocking and terrifying ghosts and gods, and it is a magical tool. It's not iron, it's steel."

Lu Buxin spoke, you are so ruthless in flattery.

Chen Gong was surprised to take the shovel. The workmanship was too exquisite. Even the wooden handle was polished and waxed. The pointed pickaxe, the pointed shovel, and the digging of soil was too pediatric. Chen Gong used the shovel to play with it. This thing could be used as a weapon. He said, "Lord, the head of this shovel is actually steel, and the best steel for forging weapons. The lord actually used it to make agricultural tools. It is really wasteful. This pickaxe is also steel, too wasteful, too wasteful."

Lu Bu said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Eating is the first priority, so let's figure out the matter of eating first."

Chen Gong nodded and said, "This is the reason, but these farm tools are too precious. Each handful is numbered to prevent someone from stealing it."

Qin Zhubo took people to take paint and wrote a number on each tool.

Lu Bu took off his armor, went to the cloud-toe boots, put on his hemp shoes, picked up a shovel, and flipped it up. Although it looked like a wasteland, it was not that hard in fact, and it was easily dug.

After digging for a while, Lu Bu found that something was wrong around him. Chen Gong and hundreds of strong men were looking at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "What are you looking at? Do you work."

Chen Gong said: "Lord, you are the King Wen personally conferred by the emperor. How could you do such a rough job?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "What are the rough and fine things? Cultivating grain on arable land is the top priority."

The strong men were very moved when they heard this and felt that Lu Bu was very real.

Lu Bu said with a high voice: "Come on, let's do it today, and I will be full of food. As long as everyone does not let me down, I, Lu Bu, will definitely not let you down."

"We must do our best."

Everyone divided the new farm tools and saw Lu Bu doing it himself. They all doubled their labor efficiency as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Use a pickaxe to dig in hard places, and use a shovel to dig in soft places.

The land in front has been sorted out almost, and the strong plowing horses and plowing the land behind is still very fast, and there are so many people who can do it.

Lu Bu pointed to the large area and said, "Public platform, you can turn it out tomorrow, judging by the speed, but we don't have many cattle and horses, but unfortunately, war horses can't cultivate the land."
