The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 143 Development
The Xianbei army that suddenly appeared outside Xiangping City came just for the exchange of Chenglugui.The whereabouts of this Xianbei people has long been known by Anyuwei, not to mention Tianyuwei has been following in the dark, fortunately, this group of Xianbei people are quite honest.

Although the exchange process went smoothly, the Xianbei people did not play tricks, but this does not mean that Huo Yu did not play tricks.Under the deliberate arrangement, all the Xianbei prisoners knew that Cheng Lugui was redeemed by He Lianhua at a high price.He even knew exactly how many cattle, sheep, and war horses he had produced.

In this way, a stark contrast was formed, and over time, the thinking of the captives who could not see the redeemed Xianbei gradually changed!When they learned that the family members of those who had served Huo Yu had all come to Liaodong, the remaining Xianbei prisoners were completely desperate.

After the end of spring plowing, the infrastructure construction plan centered on Xiangping in Liaodong was quickly implemented.More than 3 Xianbei captives are using their hands to atone for the sins of the people of Liaodong at this moment!It is impossible to say that the Xianbei captives did not cause trouble.Fortunately, Huo Yu had already arranged for the troublemakers to be killed on the spot and thrown into the excavated roadbed for landfill. Liaodong didn't have any extra food to feed so many people.

Although this move was cruel, it was unanimously approved by Liaodong.After several days of killing, the remaining Xianbei captives began to work obediently. Although they didn't have enough to eat every day, they couldn't starve to death. It's better to live than to die.

With the advent of one new invention after another in the Artisan Workshop, the people of Liaodong have become the most direct beneficiaries.The first decree of the prefect's mansion was to encourage business. Huo Yu personally ordered to set aside an area in the east of Xiangping City to establish Liaodong Dongshi.Here, no matter the Han people or the ancient Hu people are treated equally.The establishment of Dongshi has made the Murong people the biggest beneficiaries.

The second decree of the prefect's mansion was to reduce taxes and cancel all tolls. This move won the unanimous praise of Liaodong businessmen.Many Hu merchants flocked here, and in just one month, the tax revenue of Xiangping East City exceeded the tax revenue of the previous year.Xun You, the logistics manager, finally showed a long-lost smile.

The third decree is to recruit civilian husbands and start expanding Xiangping City.The condition offered by the prefect's mansion was not to mention the food every day, but also to pay wages.Such generous conditions make the labor in the slack period useful.

The fourth decree is conscription.In this order, the barracks were even more crowded.But Huo Yu's conscription requirements are very high, just running four laps around the barracks and school grounds can eliminate as much as half of them.However, if there is a skill and it is recognized, it can be expropriated.

Quite a number of young and strong came here disappointed and returned, secretly determined in their hearts that the next conscription must run the damn four laps.All the selected people will be given a settling allowance at one time, and if they don’t want the money, they can also exchange it for equivalent food or farm tools.

The issuance of the four decrees is no less than a magnitude [-] earthquake.Everywhere in Liaodong County is busy, and the roads leading to Xiangping in various counties were quickly completed after the primary version of cement was put into use on a large scale.The four-wheeled carriages put on the market by Artisan Workshop were sold out, and many people waited in line in front of Artisan Workshop after riding.

The carriages of the Han Dynasty have always been mainly two-wheeled, and they suffered from bumps for a long time.The newly launched four-wheeled carriage is equipped with a simple shock-absorbing device, which not only makes the ride comfortable, but also increases the capacity of the carriage.

The Mi family caravan became the biggest beneficiary. All the caravans returning from Liaodong were equipped with four-wheeled carriages, and wherever they went, they became the most eye-catching scenery.

Just when Liaodong Wenwu was so busy, Huo Yu, a habitual hands-off shopkeeper, hid in the prefect's mansion to study how to improve the food.When Huo Yu brought back a pile of ironware from the Craftsman Workshop, the prefect's mansion, from Cai Yan to the servants, had to be busy for a long time before they put all the things in an orderly manner.

"Well, it's almost ready!" Huo Yu murmured, looking at everything in front of him.

"Husband, what is this?" Cai Yan asked holding a shovel.

"This is a shovel for cooking!" Huo Yu said casually.

"Stir-fried vegetables?" question marks from the four ladies.Even Yu'er, who has been with Huo Yu for the longest time, doesn't know what cooking is!
"Ladies, I'll find out later!" Huo Yu smiled and pretended.

After half a stick of incense, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei came with a lot of pig meat and internal organs.

"My lord, now I know that this black man is a butcher worthy of his reputation!" Dian Wei said with a smile while carrying his luggage.

"What's wrong with the butcher, if you have the ability, you can try to pawn black charcoal!" Zhang Fei said without giving in.

However, Dian Wei remained silent, watching Huo Yu take the pig meat and skillfully cut it up with his eyes fixed on him.

"Sister Yu'er, you have been with your husband for the longest time, how do you know what your husband is?" Mi Zhen asked strangely.

Yu'er looked at Mi Zhen and shook her head, Huo Yu separated a piece of pig meat not long after.

"Brother Dian, go light the fire, and let everyone have a delicious meal today!" Huo Yu said without raising his head.

Hearing Huo Yu's order, Dian Wei went to the stove that had been built a few days ago without saying a word and started to light a fire.By the way, the stove had been built for several days, and Huo Yu was smoky for several days in order to teach Dian Wei to make a fire, not to mention Dian Wei, but he himself was dark, so he couldn't see it.

When the fire was hot, Huo Yu poured clean water into the iron pan, and put the meat in after the water boiled.These series of actions were extremely skillful, and everyone was dumbfounded.Soon the smell of meat overflowed, and Zhao Yu, a foodie, came here looking for something to eat, and stood aside and swallowed, but the others were not much better!
"Xiao Yu, it's not good yet! I'll eat it later." After Huo Yu fished out the pig meat, Zhao Yu's paw stretched over, and Huo Yu stretched out his hand to pat it and said.Only Zhao Yu dared to be so presumptuous in front of Huo Yu in the prefect's mansion.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no refined salt, which made Huo Yu waste a lot of effort.After that, the fat meat is used to refine oil, and the dried oil dregs Huo Yu distributes to everyone, it is considered a delicacy!

When everything was ready, Huo Yu fried some meat dishes.At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were very few dishes, but there were a lot of wild vegetables.After eating a meal, everyone has endless aftertastes.

"Brother Polu, Yu'er is not full..."

"..."

Everyone remained silent, all eyes were on Huo Yu, Zhao Yu just said what they thought in their hearts!Due to the pressure of the crowd, Huo Yu was not allowed to take over the spoon again, and used up all the pig meat he brought, except for the internal organs that were left untreated.

History has changed from this moment, the Han Dynasty is about to be dominated by Huo's cooking.And Huo Yu has another way to earn money, but all of this is for later.Now Huo Yu wants to satisfy the three big foodies in front of him, Zhao Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei!Fortunately, there was plenty of meat, and Huo Yu's four wives had enough food. Even so, Huo Yu vowed not to cook for Zhang Fei and Dian Wei again!
