The Yellow Turbans of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Food
For half a month, water bandits, common people, fish porridge accompanied, very lively.

Several shipwrights also met at the same place, took care of each other, and Zhou Tai's large ship was used as an experiment, and the skills of several people rose sharply, all thanks to Lu Renjia's "practice is the only criterion for testing truth!" '.

There are many big trees in the south, but it is easier to find wood than in the north. With the help of carpenters and ordinary people, a small dock was built.

Time quickly came to October, the accompanying food had bottomed out, Lincheng was surrounded all around, and the county magistrates and magistrates inside couldn't bear it: "Strong man, can you give us a bowl of fish porridge!"

When Lu Renjia saw the yellow-faced and emaciated county magistrate and county magistrate, he felt amused and laughed at himself, and his own situation was almost true.

"Kaicheng, come down and drink fish porridge!" Lu Renjia scolded with a smile.

The soldiers also shouted loudly: "Kaicheng!"

"Kaesong!"

"Xu Zan, you go to recruit Lincheng, and I'll rush Li Dan!" The food crisis is very dire, and Lu Renjia has to take it seriously.

Lu Renjia called Gao Yu: "I asked you to send Jin Yiwei to contact Li Dan in Danyang. Is there any news now?"

Gao Yu said excitedly: "Fortunately, the lord has already planted his hands in Danyang. Li Dan is extremely rich in Danyang. He spent 1000 million to buy food for the soldiers, and now he is transporting it here!"

Lu Renjia was secretly happy, but fortunately he arranged for the second hand in Danyang, and he did not expect to be so powerful. The soap is too popular in this watery south. Afterwards, he seemed to be the number one fan of soap, and this steady stream of money went into Lu Renjia's pocket.

Li Dan took the money to exchange food with the Ruo family, but the Ruo family was very happy. Afraid that Li Dan would repent, he even went out to the grain team to help escort.

Danyang is about [-] miles away from Lincheng, and there are many mountains near Lincheng. The road is difficult, and the grain trucks are very slow. If this continues, it may take half a month.

Lu Renjia ordered, "Go east, the people will settle here, and wait for us to return west with food!"

"Don't worry, Lu Shuai, we will take care of what the rear has done for you!" The people still regarded Lu Renjia as a red sun at this time, and admired Lu Renjia's decision very much.

Under Zhou Tai's leadership, Lu Renjia and Xu Zhe led [-] elite troops to march eastward, and finally arrived near Jing County after two days. Li Dan led the food team and looked at the mighty Lu Renjia army, full of joy .

"Boss, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, I miss you so much!" Li Dan had already escaped from slavery by relying on Lu Renjia, and then relied on Lu Renjia's soap to make a living in Danyang County.

"Okay, good! Very good!" Lu Renjia looked at the food, full of joy, speechless with excitement.

"Boss, there are [-] shi of grain here. Danyang's subordinates are still buying a lot of grain, and they will give it to the boss in a steady stream!" Li Dan said.

Lu Renjia asked: "Did the Ruo family make things difficult for you?"

Li Dan shook his head, and said viciously: "I said I was buying military rations for Tao Qian, and the Ruo family started raising food without saying anything, but they charged me [-] qian for one stone, which is really abhorrent!"

"That's 400 million yuan. I heard that you plan to spend 1000 million yuan to buy food, and you don't have that much money to sell soap!" Lu Ren's family asked suspiciously.

"It's still the cleverness of the owner, who went south early to give us glass statues. The Ruo family was curious and delighted. I don't know why they spent another 2000 million yuan to buy it. I wanted my servants to bring it back to Chaya Mountain, but the owner is in danger. I also Just take it out in one go!" Li Dan's accent has a Jiangnan accent, and Lu Renjia hasn't tasted it for a while!
The continuous heavy rain hit, and mist appeared on the river. It was rare for the army to find a place to hide from the rain at the foot of the mountain.

"You are loyal! The Ruo family's money is really good!" Lu Renjia said.

"Indeed, but the Ruo family has been promoting Buddhism. Many believers in Danyang worship the Ruo family, and the Ruo family does not pay taxes. Therefore, the wealth of the family is not comparable to that of many Central Plains families!" Li Dan saw the Ruo family. Wrong, straight Tucao Road.

"Xu Zan, take [-] land soldiers and divide them into [-] shi and drag them back to Lincheng! The rest of the soldiers and I are going to take down Jing County!" Lu Renjia said energetically after using up the grain.

The food in the south is not as sweet as in the north, but in this situation where there is no other way, they can only make do with it. Many soldiers are dissatisfied, and they dare not speak when they hear that the lord is preparing to go to war.

Jing County is backed by the Lujiang River and the Huai River, with sufficient water and food, and the terrain is flat, but it is not as easy to defend as Lincheng.

After eating, Lu Renjia ordered the soldiers to rest in place and prepare for night battles. The Han army in Yuzhou already knew that Lu Renjia's army was good at night battles, so they were prepared, but there were few defenses in the south. Unexpectedly, Lu Renjia's eastward advance.

The counties in the south are left and right, there are many mountains and rivers, and the people are attacked, so these city guards are exhausted.

It was night, and the soldiers had several night battle experiences, and they quickly touched the head of Jing County, and opened Jing County. In just two months, they went to two cities in a row, which made Lu Renjia excited.

"Is the food in Jing County the same as in Lincheng?" Lu Renjia asked left and right.

Both left and right nodded.

Lu Renjia regretted for a while, and secretly thought that after this great famine, it was all natural disasters, "The order will go on, Jingxian County and Lincheng will not pay taxes, and rest with the people!"

"My lord is wise!"

"Okay, stop flattering all of you, Gao Yu is here, and you ask Jin Yiwei to send an order to start the assessment in all Yellow Turbans, Ye County, Lincheng, and Jing County. The content of the assessment is the same as last time in Chaya Mountain. As long as you can write a hundred If you have more than a few words, you can be a master, open the school widely, for a period of one month, and you will solve the matter of Li Danqian!" Lu Renjia ordered.

After spending a few days with these Yellow Turban soldiers, Li Dan also followed and called out to the lord.

"Yes, my lord!" Gao Yu became more cunning, and Li Dan became more shrewd.

Lu Renjia said again: "The two-year learning task was just established half a year ago, and now the three-year learning task is issued: divide students into each college to study, open a medical school, and let the civilian doctors who follow them be teachers; Veterans in the industry serve as teachers; open production institutes, with Zhang Niu and Zhou Laoliu as yards, and other capable people with inventive talents are selected as teachers after selection; open agricultural colleges, hire old farmers with rich planting experience as teachers; open military academy , the four generals, together with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, will serve as teachers for the time being."

Li Dan even incorporated the Ruo family's grain transportation team and made them Jinyiwei. If they didn't want to, they were sent to the two counties' reform through labor.

When the people in Lincheng got the food, they were full of energy and looked forward to the big harvest in the south. Fortunately, the weather in September was suitable, and the crops that were originally ripe in the north were soaring when they came to the south. There is a tendency to double ripe.

For a while, the people were overwhelmed with joy.

The good times didn't last long, and a large number of troops from the west assembled, including many generals from Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County.

Dark clouds covered the two counties, and the western scouts immediately reported that Lu Renjia had to go to Lincheng in the mountains to prepare for the Han army to go west.
