Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113 Agriculture First
Under Lu Bu's timely and decisive high-pressure response, Sangong's suicide turned into Sangong's assassination. This matter gradually became a mystery.At any rate, it didn't do too much harm to Lu Bu's power, but it did indeed bring him obstacles and troubles.

"A lot of blood has been shed, I hope it will stop here!" Lu Bu said.

"Next, our army needs some inspiring achievements. Whether it is political or military, we must make some achievements to stop some people's mouths. At the same time, let those who support our army feel They are right. It is not to disappoint everyone." Jia Xu reminded.

A strategic confrontation with Cao Cao's forces is considered slightly better.

It's not that the people on Lu Bu's side are so powerful, but that Lu Bu grasped the general trend of the world and encouraged Yuan Shu to follow his original path in history.

If this is not counted, Lu Bu will still suffer.

"Chen Gong is still with Cao Cao, and those who oppose him in Yanzhou are still accumulating dissatisfaction... This chess piece has to be let go." Lu Bu thought to himself.

"Food is the most important thing for the people! The focus of current domestic affairs should be food! With food and grass, you can recruit troops and expand your strength! In other words, focus on agriculture! Spring plowing is coming soon, this area is very important to the people The common people are a good thing for our army!" Lu Bu summoned the main officials of Shang Shu Sheng and the Nine Departments.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, isn't Marquis Wen talking nonsense?Everyone knows that farming is important. The problem is, this matter is like this every year. What else can be done? Just perform their duties!
"Hmph! When I came here, I haven't made much use of the knowledge of future generations! Today, let's climb the technology tree!" Lu Bu smiled.

In the agricultural era, agriculture was the foundation of the feudal dynasty.

Lu Bu didn't intend to make any major changes in the system. As the saying goes, one hair will affect the whole body, which directly involves the interests of everyone within his own power.In history, there have been so many changes/methods, how many have succeeded, and how many have not been counterattacked!
It's not because they are not superior, but because the government promulgates decrees and they become waste paper when they reach the locality. What's more, the local forces or stubborn forces simply use these decrees to plunder and snatch benefits.In the end, it was the common people who were injured.

As a result, reforms often end in failure.

Lu Bu only intends to improve agricultural technology so that the output of agriculture will be higher.As agriculture develops, productivity develops, and history progresses.It is best to skip the Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties and directly enter the powerful Tang Dynasty!

"Marquis Wen is right. Food is the most important thing for the people. We will definitely contribute." All the officials agreed.

"It's so good! Minister of Industry Liu Ye and Minister of Civil Affairs Zhong Yao stay here, and everyone else should step back!" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally.The one who can really do things is still his cronies!Otherwise, why spend so much effort to restructure Jiuqing and arrange them in this position!

In Shangshu Province, the crowded crowd gradually became sparser.

"Plant one grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn! The output of food is mainly determined by several aspects. First, it is the world, including weather, water, and the fertility of the land; second, it is human, including various tools. The third is the crops themselves, including seeds, as well as new crops brought over from other places such as the Western Regions." Lu Bu became an "agricultural expert" and began to preach.

Zhong Yao and Liu Ye showed surprise and admiration on their faces, Marquis Wen understands this!Really great!However, Marquis Wen told us this, what should we do?

"You guys write it down first!" Lu Bu said inscrutablely.

Long ago, an official handed over a white hairpin pen and yellowed thick paper. Zhong Yao and Liu Ye looked at each other, took them over quickly, and honestly wrote down what Lu Bu said.

"Let's start with the first aspect! The weather changes suddenly, and we can't change it. However, we can start with water and land. The construction of water conservancy projects has made Guanzhong's water network densely covered. However, it is not easy to use it. You can build a kind of thing called a waterwheel! The waterwheel, made of bamboo and wood, is round and rotatable. There is a bamboo tube hanging on the side, which can hold water. As the waterwheel rotates, the water in the bamboo tube Water can be transported easily!" Lu Bu tried to recall the appearance of the waterwheel in his mind, while waving his hands and demonstrating it, his appearance was a little funny.

However, Zhong Yao and Liu Ye didn't laugh, they were very excited. As Wen Hou said, the matter is of great importance!

"It will take many attempts by those skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry to make it!" Lu Bu nodded towards Liu Ye.

"If the land is fertile, the output will be high. For example, in the bitter cold of the Northwest, the food production is limited. Therefore, the people of Xiliang are fierce and fearless, and often make troubles, precisely because they can't eat enough. The population of Xiliang is much sparser than that of Guanzhong. , is also because of this. In order to improve the fertility of the land, artificial fertilizers can be used, and the ashes from the burning plants can be collected..." Lu Bu was thinking hard, frowning, and thinking hard, and finally said a few methods.

Zhong Yao and Liu Ye didn't dare to neglect, and continued to remember, the expressions on their faces became more and more admirable.

"Next, the main event is coming! To improve agricultural tools! First of all, we must invent a kind of plow! Now, the plows used by ordinary people are too simple, and the height cannot be changed, and their strength and depth are limited! It looks like this!" When Lu Bu said this, he was a little excited, grabbed the brush, and did it himself, drew Qu Yuanli's appearance, and handed it to Liu Ye.

"I don't know if the iron is enough, so the most important thing is here. By adjusting the angle, just like Ben Hou waving Fang Tian's painted halberd, adjust the depth of the Quyuanli in the ground!" Lu Bu continued to gesture, a mighty and majestic The generals in the military are quite funny when they gesture these things, but the admiration in Liu Ye's eyes gradually grows stronger.

People in the Han Dynasty didn't think highly of these technologies and craftsmen, they were not even comparable to common people, they were just common people.

Therefore, what Liu Ye admires is not the technology itself, but the impact on the entire Guanzhong agriculture after the improvement is applied to Guanzhong.

"Greatness in the present age, benefit in the future! The world is in chaos and the countryside is deserted. In this way, the food in Guanzhong will be greatly increased! The strength of our army will be even stronger!" Zhong Yao also praised.

You think I want to?This year, there may be a plague of locusts!If I don't make more preparations, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat when the time comes!
Lu Bu thought to himself, the reason why he has been slow to come out to take the initiative to attack the city and seize the territory is also an important reason.In war, what needs to be fought is to get stronger and stronger, not to get bigger and bigger, but the strength is getting weaker and weaker.Otherwise, I would have pushed forward at full speed!

Next, Lu Bu talked about the more effective use of cattle, the selection of seeds, and so on.

Minister of the Ministry of Min and Minister of Industry were eye-opening.

"I don't need Ben to teach you how to do it!" Lu Bu finally said.

Zhong Yao and Liu Ye nodded quickly and retreated.
